You don't have to be a horse person like myself to love and cry when this song plays! Wow..I'm just in tears. Haven't heard this song in quite awhile. Thank you for playing it!
If this song don't hit you in the feels, you ain't GOT any feels! Thank u guys for doing this one. It was good to hear again.
Ain’t that the truth!!!
I HEARD that! 🥰 💞 I agree! Pure perfection! One of my all time favorite songs! This song can bring all hearts together ❤️ Still listening to this song in 2022 and forever! No words....heavenly!
I'm so glad you did this version. It's the best version available imo. With the extended piano parts that aren't on the original version.
He is also the nicest down to earth person you will ever meet.
I had my first kiss to this song...I was 13 and as long as this song plays I will never forget it...I am 60 now!
this song made me bawl when i was a little boy and now at 58 years old, it still does! EVERY TIME!....
me too✋🏼
Ditto
In tears now
I am 59 and I feel the same! I like to work on cars, do ALL of my home projects, electrical, framing, plumbing - a man's man if I dare say, but this song resonates with me - timeless and beautiful to me and digs deep into my soul. Being a tough guy doesn't mean you don't feel. You just put on some armor to protect yourself...
@@JohnRocks6368you sound like my brother it was his favorite song when we were kids he has passed glad they played it
I've loved this song since i was a kid! Beautiful lyrics ❤❤❤❤ laying in the grass in the 70s barefoot as a kid just listening 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Me too. That’s a nice image. It has a dreamy feel to it
Amen😎✌
I do believe since the inspiration for this song came from a dream, it has a dreamlike quality for the listener. For me this song always had a dreamy feel to it.
This folks..... is why its important to have good musicians working together. You cannot describe something like this to someone. It's magical.
Yep Magical... Not everybody dies from a killing frost...
A year later, and this is still real musicians, real music...from the real soul.
I'm only sorry this is your introduction to MMM... his first two always such great 'trips' inside his mujsic.
This is perhaps the best version of this song for you to react to. If this song doesn't touch you then you don't have a soul.
Hi Shawn and Mel, this is one of my all time favorite songs and it was such a joy to experience it with you for the first time. I know what you mean it sends chills up my spine every time I hear it. The piano is so beautiful and the lyrics make me feel like I have gone back in time. So happy you enjoyed it too. As I get older, I so appreciate it when younger ones want to experience the things that I think are beautiful, with an open and curious mind, It is rare and always means a lot. I don't live in the past but I sure do appreciate taking a trip back every once in awhile. Music is the key that does that for me. This song brings back memories of teenage summer evenings, laying in bed, all is dark except for the amber light of my stereo. The windows are open and a warm gentle breeze blows in scented with our neighbor's night blooming jasmine plants. Listening to this song brings it all back. I am so happy you had a chance to hear it and experience something different and new to you. Have a great day and I hope that you are feeling better today Mel! :)

I'm a huge animal lover and ever since I first heard this song, it always brings tears to my eyes. It's such a beautiful song, but so sad. I've watched videos of this song where it's just one picture after another of beautiful horses. The other song I have a similar reaction to is "The Run for the Roses" - a song written about the gorgeous thoroughbreds who run in the Kentucky Derby. It also is a beautiful song, but, to me, kind of sad. The connection some of us humans have to our fellow creatures can be so strong ... a beautiful thing.
Early 70’s easy listening at its best. I’m lucky to have been young at that time.
I always cry during this song. Not sure why. I never actually happened but it's a sad story. The song is brilliant.
Gets me every time.
Absolutely one of my favorites (I have many)!!! This song, for some reason just touches my heart!
I’ve said this before and I’m gonna say it again… I grew up with some of the best music! The 70s and 80s were freaking awesome!
I completely agree. We had the best music.
🎯 ❤️
I’ve never heard this version before. Absolutely stunning!
I'm over 60, I've loved this song for 50 years. Never heard this LIVE version. It's nothing short of brilliant. The piano, the guitar, the voice and the dream he had.
It doesn't get much better.
I was 13 years old when this song first came out on the radio, and it moved me to tears then, and it moves me to tears now! It's one of those Haunting Ballads you just can't get outta your head! This song is a TIMELESS CLASSIC! 🥰🤩😍🙏🇵🇷
Every time I hear this song 🎵 I want to cry!! One of the most beautiful songs ever ❤
This song is like a great painting come to life.
this song is one of the reasons I love the music of the 70's so much !
Michael is into western and Indian culture, and the part about hearing a hoot owl for 6 nights in a row is quite significant by that culture. It is an omen of death...
I disagree about the demon of death part because Murphy loves the Lord and also it was just a dream he had but yes, Murphy did the beautiful song Geronimo's Cadillac, which is a true story also Renegade.
Don't speak of that omen, please !
I've had a hoot owl o/s my window for 6+ nites and I have Stage 4 cancer. You're scaring me !
The feeling of this song is so much sadness and longing, but there are so many cultural references, particularly Native American, that it gives the whole song such a deeper meaning.
This was one of my favorite songs since it came out in the 70's, but I never heard that extended intro and outro before now.
Man, do I love this song!!!!!!!
this always made me cry when I was young
When I was a little kid,I heard this song. I used to get so sad over the song. The poor pony!!! Lost in a blizzard!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
man, I love your open hearts and minds🙏
I'm so pleased that you selected this live version. If any song can be perfect, look no further.
After all these years, I listened more closely to this song than I ever have. Thanks for choosing to react to this one.
I never owned the record back then, and radio always cut off the intro/ outro. Recently, I was adding old favorites to a playlist. Omg...I cried all over again...not just from the lyrics...but from that beautiful piano melody.
I was 11 when this song came out. I immediately fell in love with it. Still love it today. It is one of those songs that just spoke to me from day one.
Fantastic live version. Tears are a flowing
This song moistens my eyes.
Love this song and your reactions. I moved to San Diego in 1975 and this song was playing all the radio. It just touches some deep cord inside of me. Always has, Always will.
Lived in New Mexico much of my life, Michael Murphy was a native New Mexican.
Didn't he live, or, at least, hang around, in the Taos area? He might still be there for all know. When I was young I loved the artsy scene there.
I'm so glad y'all have discovered Michael Martin Murphey. He provides a great introduction to Western Music. In the late 1970s Country music was know as "Country and Western music" and the "Western" part was dropped right about 1980. Murphey had a Pop hit which crossed over along with several others to Country music with this great song in the late 1970s. Likewise, Dan Seals of "England Dan and John Ford Coley" and Paul Davis also were all actually a Country and Western music singers and songwriters and all of whom, without their hats, became Pop Music stars in the 1970s. They all later went on to record western songs that were hits on the Country music charts in the 1980s... but with their hats on! Murphey, still touring and recording, has had the most hits (Carolina in the Pines, What's Forever For, for example) and I would like to suggest y'all consider listening to two or three of his western songs also but in one sitting so as to gather an understanding of Western music which has all but disappeared from the airwaves but which is now, with WiFi and cellular streaming, available. Please listen to Murphey's "Tying Knots in the Devil's Tail," "The Cowboy Christmas Ball" and "Cowboy Logic." Y'all will really enjoy all these western tunes and I hope y'all will begin to gain an appreciation for an fading art form. Lastly, please listen to Murphey's other hits because they are all great.
Don’t forget Cosmic Cowboy from the early 70’s.

Besides being one of the 70's most beautiful songs, one of the greatest piano intro and closes of all time!!!!! Of all time.
Thank you! I used to play this on the piano shortly after it came out. Then, I played it for my kids when they were babies and they remember.
Now, as a stroke victim I will probably never be able to play for them again, but each time I hear it, it reminds me of riding a horse as a young woman, out in the desert, in winter. I hope, someday, to feel that free again.
This song makes me feel so emotional!!! I still get misty after all these years!!!
In Honor & Memory Of Him,,
Jermaine Stewart "We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off"...R.I.P. Jermaine 🙏 ❤
One of the most beautiful songs ever recorded.

I still cry every time I hear this song...bout 50 yrs ago I heard it on the radio...I was 7 and knew it was a love story❤

Loved this song since I was a child.
Ugh .. this song always makes me cry a little. Such a beautiful song 🎵 🎶
Such a beautiful, emotional song ..thanks
BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL ! LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG !!! GIVES ME CHILLS EVERYTIME I HEAR THIS SONG ! ✨🧚🏻✨
Such a beautiful song. Brings back so many memories. Wish I could play piano like that
My late husband used to say this song reminded him of me. I love this song so much. Glad you enjoyed it to. ❤🐎
One of my favorite songs from childhood, so special.
Wow remember this in my young days on the Radio
Australia 💕 Christina
One of my favorite thought provoking songs from the 70's that really hits you. Shawn and Mel you keep bringing the great tunes from the past to help us reminisce of the great songs and memories from the past.
This song not only knocks down the genre barriers, it obliterates them altogether. One of my all-time favorites.
I am 64. I heard this when it first came out when I was 15. To this day it is still the song I want played when I die.
Thanks for reacting to this song. It’s an oldie but goodie.
Love you guys and your comments. I am just as awed as you are. Fabulous!!
Hey, I grew up singing this song but I've never gotten sooo into it more than THIS version! The soothing voice of Michael Martin Murphy, his focus, the arrangement, the artistic musicianship.
Thank you to every amazing musician who wrote the songs that got me through this life above ground.
I love this song! Grew up listening to it in the 70’s and love it just as much today.
One of my favorite songs from my teens. I was working on the weekends at a horse show and a new friend played it on an acoustic guitar and sang along. I fell in love with it. A great song still all these years later! Thanks for reminding me of such a sweet and innocent time in my life.
I always get goosebumps when he breaks in to that first Wildfire, Carolina in the pines is great also
My favorite song ever. Since I was 12. I am 63 now.
Radio stations played the shorter single version, but some AOR and eventually regular AM radio stations played the album version. It always seemed like a real gift when a station played an album version instead a single version (the fun part now is finding and hearing those versions). :)
omg I love this song so much. I have never heard the beginning. It's so pretty. The radio only plays the hook part.
Great performance!
I saw Michael Murphy many moons ago in DC on the Mall....Great show.
Heard it late, late night, lying in bed in my one-man apartment, my life efforts to date didn't seem to be working out, and I listened and shed tears. I just did again. Thanks for being open to all genres of music.
Pure magic. 🐴💫
I'm crying watching you. Music is dead. Where is the talent? Pure feel.
Not an easy song to do live--but they knocked it out of the park. You need to hear the studio version--it is hypnotizing.
We name cars at my house and our red Camero was christened "Wildfire" after this song.
It's a beautiful, sad and kind of spooky song!
Thanks for listening to it! Lots of memories!
This is a beautiful song of the 70's, he always reminded me of Robert Redford, especially in the movie "Horse Whisperer."
This is one of those songs that gets you in the feelers
The best reaction to this song! Thank you!!🙏🏻
The best girl and her horse song, EVER!!!
Beautiful song!! One of my mom’s favorite songs!! So sad 😞 but very inspiring. ❤️🙏🙏 God Bless u both!! The lead singer had such a beautiful voice and for it being live was so wonderful!
I've been listening to Murph sing this song since he was a long-hair hippie kid 50 years ago. He still sings it in his concerts. If a person ain't touched deep, he ain't got no deep.
Great video! I saw Mike sing this song live at one of his shows in the 70's. He's an amazing performer and put on one hell of a show for a small town crowed and he gave it his all.
Thank you for reacting to this song. Can't express what this song meant to me as a young boy who grew up fairly poor, but was fortunate to have a horse, "Skeeter" for a number of those young years. This song always moved me more than I can express though words. This is the definitive version of this song.
This Classic HITS LIKE A BRICK!!
The Ides Of March "Vehicle"
Vehicle was always my favorite! Do it!
Yes! I like the song Vehicle as well. Perhaps... they will take a listen.
Wow.... this was an incredible piece of music. Beautiful ❤ 🎵🎼🎙🔥
Love this great old hit.... great writing.
Never saw live. One of my all-time favorite hits. Awesome reaction guys.
You guys are just great. I can feel the love you have for good music. And THIS one is GREAT. This was my favorite song in 1974 when I was in Vietnam. They just do NOT make song like this these days. Thank you.
Beautiful song from my life, growing up, remembering this now, after all the years. Long time since I heard it.
One of the most eerily beautiful songs in modern music, & the story is just fantastic.
I first met MMM in '71. I had been introduced to his wife first. She ran a musician's supply shop in a second-floor walkup in an old building on the Drag (Guadeloupe St) in Austin Tx. She sold all the supplies a working musician would need to keep going while on the road. It was also a hangout for most of the musicians in prog country back then in Austin. We would drop in and shoot the bull and trade licks with each other. MMM was there all the time when he was in town as well as Willie Nelson, Rusty Weir, Buckwheat Stevenson and all sorts of other big names when they came to town. It was almost like sitting around the cracker barrel on the porch of an old mom and pop grocery in a small Texas town. Just a laid back atmosphere where they could all relax from the grind.
Later when I moved back to Dallas I would host them at my house when they would come through town on the way to Nashville to record. We would go clubbing or whatever they wanted to do. It was always nicer than staying in another hotel. Those were the days.
This song always takes me back to them long summer days of my childhood ✌❤🎶
Completely love your sincere reactions this song is epic great reaction 💔
You two are a loving couple for the world to see
Awesome song!! Thanks for reacting to it!!!
Loved him!

I remember listening to the song on the radio when I was probably 6 years old, I still haven't forgotten about it.
Ooohhh the tingling 🎉
Loved this as a child and still do.
ahh..the days of am soft rock...classic song.
It's about time someone did this reaction. It is a great song! Thanks for your reaction.
You'll have been going through some of the best music of my life . I love that you live it . But that what great art does it transcends. It lead you upwards! Love you guys!
