I used to listen to the radio for hours waiting for this song to come on. They couldn't play it enough in 1978. It's still tremendous. The saxophone is the clincher.
I cannot believe this lovely man who has for years suffered through poor health continues to bring us uplifting .music ...concerts..recordings ..may he keep on entertaining us for many more years to come...blessings from canada..❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦
When he wrote the song he wasn't in poor health and his sister was 17!! I l just love that he was there to write it for her, and that , no matter what, he still is.😅😍

This song always brings back bitter-sweet memories as a kid from 1978-79. It stirs emotion even as an adult. Man, I miss the music from those days when music was about love beginning or ending and wasn't about body parts and sweat.
It's a shame we no longer have great songs like this. Now all we have is basically trash to fit the trash times we seem to live in. Well at least we have RUclips and can pull up these video's anytime we want. We can go back in time to a more appealing time in history.
I totally agree. When I hear songs like this which is in my favorites I'm thrown back into the 70's with all the feelings associated with them growing up. 17 all over again. Now at 60 I spend my days in remembrance of lost loves
Canzone stupenda come il testo scritta x la sorella diciassettenne che soffriva x la fine di un amore adolescenziale e lui da fratello maggiore e premuroso la consola dicendole di non abbattersi perché ha una vita ancora davanti e che poi arriverà il grande AMORE.....GRANDE CHRIS sei stato sicuramente un fratello adorabile e sei sicuramente un padre SPLENDIDO x le tue 2 figlie JOSEPHINE E JULIA.....VORREI ESSERE TUO FRATELLO ❤❤❤❤😉😉💯💯👌👌🫶🫶👍👏👏👏
This song almost always gets me to tear up.....and I really don't know why,maybe it reminds me of what might have been,whatever the reason the seventies had to be one of the best decades for beautiful moving music.
The 70's. the most diverse decade ever. On the top 40 you could hear pop,disco,hard rock,classic rock,country,instrumentals,modern jazz, R&B,easy listening... best decade ever for music.
Yep, that's true and the 60s were the same way. Just think: In 1968, the best selling song was Hey Jude, but it barely topped Love Is Blue, which was an instrumental, and you kind of got that same thing through the 80s. I remember when Chariots of Fire hit the top of the charts, both the single and the album, so it was very diverse. Loved it, and when you do think of some of the most creative people of the times, when they talk about their influences, you always find that it covered a wide variety of styles. Unfortunately, today, you do not get that.
I miss the days of hearing the great songs on the radio. I sure missed out on a lot when I was young and would love to go back. Now I'm lucky to leave my room.
at the time i hated the song, but i was only thirteen! now i can see, back then, sure enough, i still had years-and-years... funny, it sounded so depressing back then. but now it makes me feel good , when we're so-much-nearer-the-end! ironic, right? but what a classic gem!
This C.o.v.19 came from an institution in China funded by the corrupt, socialist, Obama, Democrat Machine with our tax money to be used aganist America and the world for their Socialisum agenda of global control !!! Another Hitler style group of global control !!! Death to them all !!!

"Newborn eyes always cry with pain first look at the morning sun Fool, if you think it's OVER...its just BEGUN"!!! One of the greatest lyrics EVER written from the 70's!
This has probably been mentioned .. but worth again .. He wrote this for his sister who was stood up at the alter (back in Ireland) and a friend heard the song and couldn't convince Chris to release it. (It WAS his personal song to sis!) Eventually, it somehow found its way to a label ... and the rest .. What a talented guy!
There's a guy somewhere thinking, "This songs about me" and yet he can't really tell anyone. Maybe its his wife's favorite song. That's some unintended revenge.
I always cry with this song. It reminds me of a 14 years hot and cold relationship... it ended and I felt like my whole world crumbled... months depressed. A year and a half later, when my heart had healed, I met this wonderful man who has taught me what real love is. I was a fool cause I thought it was over but it had just begun... but I still cry bc that pain I felt was so real and not deserved.
This has got to be the prettiest song ever EVER -Its not the words its the tune and that sax is real ???? Very sweet song - My favorite of all times cause its includes music ?????
Someone must of died and a jack ass took over the music industry... Cuz here we are w auto tune shit and worse as we remaniss w what was right and good ..
I was 18 years old when this song was big in October '78. It has stayed with me all these years. The 70s was a time I truly miss and will never forget. Thanks Chris.
October 1978! Remember it well. Halloween 🎃 of 1978 was great. A great time great people great country great music great era great era, great music, great values, great styles. 55¢ a gallon gasoline anyone? A time never to return again. Glad I lived it.
The song's lyric came out of conversations Rea had with his younger sister, who was dealing with her first breakup. He assured her that her life was not over, even though it felt that way. This was the first single from Chris Rea's major-label debut album. Surprisingly, it initially made little impact in his native Great Britain, but was a big hit in the United States, where it peaked at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent three weeks at #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart. It later scored on the British charts, where it peaked at #30. In America, it is by far Rea's best-known song - he never again made it higher than #44 ("Diamonds") on the Hot 100. In the UK, he fared much better, becoming a consistent hit-maker by the mid-'80s. Two of his albums, The Road to Hell (1989) and Auberge (1991), went to #1 in Britain.
Thank you for mentioning his work after this song. Yes this song is perfect and timeless but please people know he continued to make great music!!! Forever fan!

I was 21 when this song came out, working at Ford motor company,🥲, where did the years go?🥲😢, The Word of God says life is but a vapor, A puff of smoke, your youth goes by so fast, made a Lotta mistakes in my life wish I could turn back the hands of time! But I thank God for his blessings!
It is so refreshing to hear your perspective on life. It is just a vapor, like a passing shadow. In the twinkling if an eye it will be over. Pity that not all can see it clearly, but surely every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord.
The first song I heard by Chris Rea. Since that time so many years ago, I have followed this uber talented genius. I am familiar with hundreds of his songs and have virtually every one. I never tire of them. He is prolific, he is profound. He is a one in a lifetime talent. Every song is truly HIS song. He does it all, always has and that is remarkable. I could go on forever on this man's talent but his songs speak for themselves, each and everyone!!!! Thank you for this post.
brent hoffman Because of the old film, Misery, I probably dare not risk saying something like this but... "I am his biggest, number one fan!!!!" Did I just "say" that? Oops. Thanks for your comment.
***** So right, he is, no other word will do, amazing. People just do not normally have so much talent. Every song, every note, his own. I saw an interview, or have read, that he said he has songs in his mind all the time. He awakens with them. I cannot imagine such creativity, but I am grateful he has it and I, among many others, have been the recipient of all that genius; the pleasure of listening to all the varied and wondrous songs by Chris Rea. Thank you for commenting.
How I miss the 70,s.............It was the time of my life and I didn't even know it until many years later. To all my friends who have crossed over I will see you soon, then we can do it again on the other side. I miss you all deeply...................
Ya-- I knew so many in the small city where I have lived for 27 years but most have also crossed over. Now I feel pretty much alone. I reflect back when we were lived in harmony, in trust and enjoyed good, innocent times. Now we self distance watching compassion and hope evaporate. They are creating a vacuum where can't breathe with their boots on our necks targeting our very souls. I'm glad I'm old.
@@rwboa22 I'm in my early 70s so I add to your list the 40s and 50s as well. Mid 80s and beyond -- overproduced crap with only a few listenable songs thrown in; then came rap and it WAS 'a wrap'. However, 60s, 70s and 80s had so many genres from which to choose which made for great competition and great composition. As the song goes, "Those Were The Days", constructive and not destructive.
If I could only get away from the nightmare I live in now. Internet, me,me,me,working for the man dying like a dog, greed, no morales, society hits new low😢 Trumpism, corruption, no one talks to one another......oh and the music $ucks. 10/2019, 70's were the BEST💜👍🎶🎶☝
Sorry, but I have to disagree with you on that statement. The 1970’s were the decade of the Son of Sam murders, oil embargo, President Nixon’s resigning from office, Vietnam war vets coming back to the US with major PTSD, cocaine and heroin running rampant, the decadence of Studio 54, Disco(sic), crazy cults like the “Moonies”, etc... just remember it was nicknamed the “Me” generation for a reason.

Save your cryin' for the day
Fool, if you think it's over
'Cause you said goodbye
Fool, if you think it's over
I'll tell you why
New born eyes always cry with pain
First, look at the mornin' sun
Fool, if you think it's over
It's just begun
Miss Teenage Dream, such a tragic scene
He knocked your crown and ran away
First wound of pride, and how you cried and cried
But save your tears, got years and years
Fool, if you think it's over
'Cause you said goodbye
Fool, if you think it's over
I'll tell you why
(Fool, if you think it's over)
(Fool, if you think it's over)
I'll buy you first good wine
We'll have a real good time
Save your cryin' for the day
That may not come
But anyone who had to pay
Would laugh at you and say
Fool, if you think it's over
'Cause you said goodbye
Fool, if you think it's over
I'll tell you why
New born eyes always cry with pain
First, look at the mornin' sun
Fool, if you think it's over
It's just begun
I'll buy you first good wine (Fool if you think it's over)
Ooh, we'll have a real good time
Save your cryin' for the day (Fool if you think it's over)
New born eyes always cry with pain
First, look at the mornin' sun
Fool, if you think it's over
It's just begun
Thank you 😊
Appreciate it, thanks
Chris is such a talented man. Love his voice, too.
Best music ever!!!! ❤
I never get tired of hearing this song. Great song.
Classic!
Yep, it’s a gem for sure.
Understand what is said
What a nice guy, wearing the scarf his mum knitted for him.
The scarf made me think of the Dr. Who show that was so popular! Always loved this song.
hilarious! I was just thinking the same thing! That damn ugly scarf ruins the video haha!
It's probably cold in the studio hahaha
Lol..it was the 70s big scarfs were in style in that time.
😂
Who would give this song a thumbs down? >:(
A timeless classic that means more than most casual listeners will ever realize from one of the most underrated musicians. Thank You Chris.
I was 21 when this song came out, working at Ford motor company,🥲, where did the years go?🥲😢, The Word of God says life is but a vapor, A puff of smoke, your youth goes by so fast, made a Lotta mistakes in my life wish I could turn back the hands of time! But I thank God for his blessings!
Does god approve of going to bars and picking up chicks?
@@gweilospur5877 I am sorry, I meant just meeting girls, not having sex, dating one girl and then another, just enjoying my youth!
@@gabriel-1957 don’t reply to A-hole trolls
@@aluzbrilhounaescuridao9486 I’m not saying I am without “sin”, and I’m not throwing stones. I’m saying gods don’t exist. This is the 21st century.
It is so refreshing to hear your perspective on life. It is just a vapor, like a passing shadow. In the twinkling if an eye it will be over. Pity that not all can see it clearly, but surely every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord.
A time we will never see again------seventies had to be the best music ever!!!!
The first song I heard by Chris Rea. Since that time so many years ago, I have followed this uber talented genius. I am familiar with hundreds of his songs and have virtually every one. I never tire of them. He is prolific, he is profound. He is a one in a lifetime talent. Every song is truly HIS song. He does it all, always has and that is remarkable. I could go on forever on this man's talent but his songs speak for themselves, each and everyone!!!! Thank you for this post.
Correct ,,,very talented musician,,cheers Martha
brent hoffman Because of the old film, Misery, I probably dare not risk saying something like this but... "I am his biggest, number one fan!!!!" Did I just "say" that? Oops. Thanks for your comment.
***** So right, he is, no other word will do, amazing. People just do not normally have so much talent. Every song, every note, his own. I saw an interview, or have read, that he said he has songs in his mind all the time. He awakens with them. I cannot imagine such creativity, but I am grateful he has it and I, among many others, have been the recipient of all that genius; the pleasure of listening to all the varied and wondrous songs by Chris Rea. Thank you for commenting.
Excelente cancion
***** songs like this never get old just better.long live the 70's
Stuck in the 70s forever! Long live 70s music
You're not alone.
Me too
God bless United Kingdom and America that gave us culture , music , science , RUclips.....(the list is so long ) everything
How I miss the 70,s.............It was the time of my life and I didn't even know it until many years later. To all my friends who have crossed over I will see you soon, then we can do it again on the other side. I miss you all deeply...................
Man o man, you got me with that one! Very heartfelt and well put....blessings to you and yours paratrooperlane 🙏
kind words 😊
HERE HERE
Ya-- I knew so many in the small city where I have lived for 27 years but most have also crossed over. Now I feel pretty much alone. I reflect back when we were lived in harmony, in trust and
enjoyed good, innocent times. Now we self distance watching compassion and hope evaporate. They are creating a vacuum where can't breathe with their boots on our necks targeting our very souls. I'm glad I'm old.
@@mikejohn0088 I agree, People suck!
When one of my daughters was 17 with a broken heart, I played her this song. Through the tears, she smiled a little. This song is now our song.
Loved this song the first time I heard it in '78. "Driving Home For Christmas" is another great song and vid he did. We were so young back then. 👍
Born in late '76, yet this is way better than that garbage they play today.
Im stuck in the 70's with songs like this. Nobody sings songs like this any more. Cheers! to the 70's.
Yes... Seventies... Great music.... great musicians... Beautiful memories... God bless all u people listening to this group....
Then 70's had so many wonderful songs from such varied genre, this one rightfully belongs among them.
I'm 44, pushing 45 and I will listen to '60s, '70s, and early '80s music well before I listen to anything from the '90s and today.
Totally agree.
@@rwboa22 I'm in my early 70s so I add to your list the 40s and 50s as well. Mid 80s and beyond -- overproduced crap with only a few listenable songs thrown in; then came rap and it WAS 'a wrap'. However, 60s, 70s and 80s had so many genres from which to choose which made for great competition and great composition. As the song goes, "Those Were The Days", constructive and not destructive.
The 70's the age of innocence.
If I could only get away from the nightmare I live in now. Internet, me,me,me,working for the man dying like a dog, greed, no morales, society hits new low😢 Trumpism, corruption, no one talks to one another......oh and the music $ucks. 10/2019, 70's were the BEST💜👍🎶🎶☝
Sorry, but I have to disagree with you on that statement. The 1970’s were the decade of the Son of Sam murders, oil embargo, President Nixon’s resigning from office, Vietnam war vets coming back to the US with major PTSD, cocaine and heroin running rampant, the decadence of Studio 54, Disco(sic), crazy cults like the “Moonies”, etc... just remember it was nicknamed the “Me” generation for a reason.
@Dav RoZ 👍 I have nothing after that post,you got it.
@Dav RoZ Amen to that brother Trump 2020
Peace2All just wait ‘til 2020, it’s all gonna be better...just wait, 2020 is gonna be great
Had my heart broken at 17 can totally relate to this song ... Got revenge he came back around but I moved on to another love interest
“I think it’s a miracle that Chris Rea has managed to bring us such uplifting music despite suffering health problems “
Bringing back to to the best time of my life,,,,, miss the 70’s,,,,,!,!,!,!,!
Top shelf
I adore Chris Rea. He's magical. Now, Driving Home for Christmas is my go to fave for Christmas season during pandemic. It makes me so happy!!!
I agree, its the best.
My favourite Christmas song too!!!!
Its a great song. Hes a lot bigger in Europe and never got the recognition he deserved in the states
He's a marvellous singer his songs are so emotive
I think he is a classic performer. Driving home for Christmas is da bomb!
Never new the story....ty....memories of better days.
I love this song! Haven't heard in years. 1978 was a great year!
Greatest year for music imo. The zenith.
This song touches the heart for sure
everybody owes this guy a check
Im 62 n still swing to music & songs of 70's ,,,
I'm 57 I'm right there with you.
Miss having really good music like this, especially just driving down a highway.
Nostalgia is both a joy and painful , thinking back on life and wondering where it all went
Elegantly expressed
Amen to that.
Such a lovely song and beautiful melody. Thank you, Chris Rea.
I could listen to just this era of music for the rest of my life!
krissie keller late 70s were great, no bills no worries and long hair miss those days
My Gentle Pitt Bull no worries and long hair...you got that right!
Yes, I totally agree. This is such a beautiful song and Chris Rea does such a lovely version.
I bet it was even more amazing listening to it with someone named Krissie.
I was 17...how I miss those days ❤
I was 28..... ditto.
I love this song and his voice! I never tire of this song.
Are you from Rhode island... Went to schools with girls same last name ?
Hey you never know
@@lcim6958 Sorry, not me. Schofield is my married name.
@@lauraschofield4168 bit ate toy guys from RI...
I knew a cool schofields...Sharon..all from High s.actual middle schoolschool. Lol. Maybe just common name.
@@lcim6958 My husband's family is from the southwest. I think its a pretty common name but I've never known anyone with it. It's a small world so you never know. It was worth a try. His family is related to John and George Schofield from the Civil War and the Schofield revolver.
@@lcim6958 He's was drunker?
❤A fabulous song to listen to,soothes the nerves while caring for patients in ICU.Yes,indeed 1978.
Timeless
1978 So many memories.
Feels like yesterday
