Chorus:
And, oh, after the love has gone
How could you lead me on
And not let me stay around?
Oh, oh, oh, after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found?

Martin Platt And still amazing now as they was then
Who’s still listening in 2024?
Till I die !
Anyone with taste. Today's music is forgettable auto tuned EDM rap crap.
Forever❤
RJ 🇧🇷
The south-east asian teenagers who heard this song in the car played by their dad a million times are still listening
"Something happened along the way & yesterday was all we had." That's so deep.
so effin sad
😢
God bless in heaven Mr White. We miss you🙏

Let me lay some facts on you my fellow RUclips Listeners: This song was written b y David Foster, Jay Graydon and Bill Chaplin. It was first offered to the duo group " Hall & Oates."At the time they were not interested in recording any music that wasn't written by them. When D. Foster presented to Maurice White, he gave the song a thumbs up. Verdine White, brother of Maurice White, stated that it was the most difficult song they had ever recorded. They felt the vibe had to be right in order to pull it off. He went on to say they recorded 6 to 7 times before M. White said that's it. Thats the one. It found its way to #2 on Billboards 100 list in 1979 for 2 weeks. It took home 2 Grammy's. Best R&B duo or a group and Best R&B song Grammy for composers D. Foster and J. Graydon. And now you know. Lol
David Foster is absolutely amazing.. wow
Not just 6-7 times. It was 6 days of trying before they felt that it was perfect.
Thanks for the great info bro 👍🏾
About this time..Foster also wrote a song for The Tubes..Dont want to wait anymore..sounds alot like this song
Roger Cook all this bc david foster is a great canuck..canadian...just like me
The genius of this song is how it manages to be heartfelt, heartbroken and hopeful all at once.
you nail it
Exactly for some reason it always puts me in a good mood eventhough the Text is sad lol
David Foster, Canadian songwriter and composer!
Wow,God created
I never thought of it like that, Thank You!!!
So many key changes in this song. It sounds so easy but it's actually very musically complex. The sign of a masterfully written song.
David Foster is a genius!
very true
Also total roef had to be in this song
The album version of this song segues into "Let Your Feelings Show"
Good insight
2024 and this song still better than 99% of today's songs.
Agreed😅😮😊
They will NEVER make music like this!!!
simply Incomparable
100 per cent
👍👍👍
A timeless classic, we are blessed to have been born to know music like this
Very well said, could not have said it any better.!!
Yes, I felt God in these songs, gorgeous and personal like a prayer....
I'd be honored if some fans of late 70s/early 80s classics would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of SEPTEMBER by Earth Wind & Fire and JUST ONCE by James Ingram & Quincy Jones on my YT channel in tribute to Maurice White and James Ingram, 2 iconic vocalists of that period who recently left us. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and RESPECT to the legends.
Damn i was born in 2002 but these tracks n Motown records hit man😭💯
I'm young, I was born in 2000 and I love this music style😍😍is very good!!!❤❤
I love the unexpected chords progressions in this song
Yaaaasssss!!!
Pitch swings are beautiful. Pure jazz.
Yes!!
Yes. It's hard to explain but i know what you meant
I watch these ads purely for this music
I am 21, and still jamming out to this song. This song reminds me of my mom, she...unfortunately succumbed to colon cancer back in 2013. Every time I hear this song, it would make me sad, because she was my mom, she might've not been a good mom to yall, but to me, she was a great mom. She told me to be happy, she told me that not to cry about her, she told me that she will be in my heart and watching over me. Those were her last words. I dropped down my DS (ended up breaking it) and was crying at her side. I never thought I would lose my mom, and when they disconnected my mom from life support, I went running and hugging my dad and crying. Fast forward to May 25th, 2019, I was graduating. Once this song came on as the Graduation Song, I looked at my family, and I went running to them and cried. I wanted everyone to be there, including my mom. My friends were there to comfort me also. I really miss my mom. Someday mom, I will reunite with you again! Until then, I will try my hardest. I love you mom!

*I will meet up with you again someday mom!*
Wow…what a tribute you are to the beautiful woman who was your Mom! Just know she would be so proud of you and what you’ve accomplished. Never let go of these precious memories. My daughters lost their Mom Christmas of 2015. The oldest was a Sr and the youngest an 8th grader. I remind them both of how proud she would be of the beautiful women they are today! Carry on and thrive…Moms would want it that way! Praying God’s peace for your journey!
@@jonathanblan5919 Thanks :')
Dear God, I cry for you man. So sorry.
That is a great testimony 🙌
Beautiful tribute to your mom. God bless you
This my Mama favorite group!! 💛❤️ Rest peacefully Mama I LOVE YOU ALWAYS!! 😢
❤❤❤❤❤
No eres el único, amigo
God Bless your Mama may she RIP 🙏
@@josephsharp5678 who his me?
@@StuffershineHuh??
Still , after 40 years this song hits the heart ❤️
Yesterday was all we had
Very well said Huney.!💕🎼🎶🎵🎤📯🎷🎼👍
If I could go back in time, I would and stay there😆😆😆
this tune so reminds me of each of the 3 women i was truly in love with at different times through my life and none of the relationships worked out...i know clearly the common denominator was me...and it cuts to know what i could have, should have done better in each of them...cuts deep.
@@robgrassi790 You just reminded me of my son who passed away 12/20/18. He too had 3 loves that didn't work out and he was the common denominator too. That cut ME deep just now. I know it cuts deep for you, but you can correct your mistakes. He can't. Please, don't give up. Don't look back, look forward. You can find that lasting love. Be happy and live each day as if it were your last.
Very true jose
R.I.P. Maurice White
+David Lance Another light in the music world has dimmed.
+David Lance Amen Brother
+Tas D. Amour You could not have said it better, man
+David Lance that is the best music and never gets outdated
You can say that again, it ages like a fine wine just as good as the first time
The vocals, instrumentation, harmonization, FANTASTIC!!!! This song will live on forever!!!!
So true
you r just spot on
The chord progression in the chorus is a perfect circle of fifths.
to know enough music structure for this explanation of yours to make sense. whatever is happening on the song, man it sounds beautiful.
I thought I was the only that realized the circle of fifths was used perfectly 🥲
Excectly.
This is the perfect band.
I been playing guitar since I was 14 and I am 54 now. I know some music theory and the 5ths but I don't know as much as I should.
What is five circle ?
R.I.P Don Myrick. The greatest saxophonist that ever lived!
I concur!
You're thinking of John Coltrane
@@KrwiomoczBogurodzicy Hello, I'm Charlie Parker, allow me to introduce myself...
@@kieronjohnson8834,
John it is, for _A Love Supreme_ alone…
@@KrwiomoczBogurodzicy I saw that coming... I love Coltrane, have nearly all his work but for sheer, jaw dropping brilliance nothing I've heard from him beats Bird on those Dial sessions. I heard Ornithology and time stood still. Coltrane practiced 8 hours a day to get his sound and fluidity, Bird was as good after a day of drinking or guzzling on fried chicken.
Bird squandered his gifts, Coltrane didn't, that's the difference.
I'm a 30 year old man crying and smiling listening to this song lol wow. Makes me realize how sad our current divide in this country is. Music like this use to bring us together more. But those were different times. Hope we can have more feel good music like this bring us closer again someday..
Til then? I'll just listen and smile and hope and pray. Cheers to everyone.
I really miss how we got along in the past as well...I miss the past when I had Black, and Latino friends...The media, and politicians, and professors divided us...Very sad state of affairs...Far too much hostility....We need to be united once again...
Never give up hope!
@@bradhill1099 my brother growing up in th projects in Queens my crew was two blacks (me and my little brother)Williams brothers one American Indian Victor, one really strong Irish kid Richard Arneal, one Puerto Rican kid Joey Martinez, one Italian and Puerto Rican kid Joey Galarza here is the crazy part no one's color mattered only the crew mattered I got your back you got mine we not friends we family
Robert Lewis Sure did bro.
lol wut
There was a time around 1980 when great stuff like this coexisted with disco and ass kicking rocknroll.
What a time to be a teen.
Yep, I had just graduated that year!
Make you right ..they were the days when gentlemen back home ..even with mummy take care
yes me too class of 1980
I was in HS then too
I graduated then. Great music, yes. Nothing compares to the music of the late 70’s and early 80’s.
Maurice white and phillip Bailey voices is magic together they blend so perfect together
Agreed
@BeckyBoo Yes
Yes Philip and Maurice's blending of vocals is badass to the core and this is some good r&b mellow
Oh I love Earth Wind and Fire. And yes the saxophonist was amazing. I e listened to this music since they were created
Perfection indeed!!
Earth , Wind,& Fire , The Best Group of all Time.!!!!🎵🎵🎷🎷❣
It's true tho :)
True man
The BEST ever!!!! :)
In germany we said "Ehrenmänner" it meens that someone is the best
@@christiannrg3831 Christian I have 2 try & remember how 2 say that. Thanks. Much LUV.!!❣️🎼🎵👍

Every time
Yes Sir
Yeah, yeah swaying rite now in bed. EW,&F FOREVER.! 🎼🎼🎤🎤📯🎷🎶🎶🎵🎷🎷✌️
I heard this song after a particularly rough breakup. The song is so true for anyone who has been abandoned by someone you loved truly. It touches on what it feels to be rejected and unwanted.
40 years later....1979...brought us this classic...
openmind1966 I was born the wrong year
Me= August 3, 1979
40 seens a long ti.....me....4000 is bitty longer .
Nothing like being able to say “I’ve got this on vinyl”.
I am old I graduated in May of 79. Always loved EWAF
:) after the love has gone , One of the hardest lessons in life is letting go. Whether it’s guilt, anger, love or betrayal. Change is never easy. We fight to hold on, and we fight to let go.
knuckles....so true! ace knuckles what a name
sometimes you have to die a little inside in order to be reborn and rise again as a stronger and wiser version of you
james manlangit We live to make mistakes, we must not only learn what to be, but what not to be
John Smith Sometimes we learn this just a little late in life and too late to realized just how fragile life is , but as of now my heart tells me everyday is there's something I can do for someone else and what/how can I do my best to bring back their strength to keep moving forward to let go of someone who hurt them specially ace knuckles even now looking for what I am able to do to be a blessing to her because she don't deserve to get hurt ,if you only knew her she is so kind my friend maybe you'll do same way as i do if you see her hurting so deep.
Sometimes you will find that the person you thought loved you was just a liar and a deceiver who is now just hurting you out of her own insecurity. The problem is that people these days feel like talking about their feelings makes them a pussy, but not being brave enough to tell it like it is actually is what makes you the pussy! If 2 people in a relationship can't learn to talk about things and work to make each other happy, then it's not a relationship is it?
Pretty much the best damn song ever written.
Absolutely! ❤️
Understatement!
Absolutey I have always had a place in my heart for this MASERPIECE!!
Smmfh 👍, Very Well Said..!!👍🎶🎺🎷🎹🎼🎵🎧🎤🎷👍👌
Yep, the genius of David Foster.
Missed your beautiful voice Maurice White (Earth, Wind, & Fire) 🎤🎧🎵🎼🎶😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️
How in the world can anyone give EWF a thumbs down?...this has always been one of the greatest Bands of all time. Love these guys. They just don't make music like this anymore unfortunately. Rest in Peace Mauriece
Smmfh, very, very well said Huney, "they just don't Kno".!! 🎤🎼🎷✌️
Thumbs down?! Taste is all in their mouth.
Its the young generation that don't appreciate music like this
Stupidity?? The Way of teWorld was my wedding song!
Probably racists
My god the chorus....perfection. I'm swaying in my chair
Extraordinary Production. R.I.P Brother Maurice. Your love will always be with us.
Earth , Wind,& Fire , The Best Group of all Time.!!!!🎵🎵🎷🎷❣
well one of em anyways
The Isley Bros.& Maze are almost the same & *Manchild feat. Kenny (Babyface) Esmonds - in the song "Especially For You" sounds incredibly like them. I thought it Was them, I had to look at my album to see who it was. It is a mixed album called: Soul from the cities: vol.2, Chicago. I'm about to look him up for more - see if I like anything else he does. I never/heard of him. I Have heard of Babyface, but it may be someone else. Check it out on Utube, while your here. Enjoy!😃
Smmfh Very Well Said.!!👍👍🎷🎷🎼🎼🎙️🎙️🎵🎵🎹🎹🎶🎶🎤💜❣️❣️ Love ,Luv EW&F
This song is life forever, passing through generation to generation..
A truly timeless classic ! 😃

Great taste in music

Goodbye Maurice White....May God rest your soul... R.I.P.....
+wayne6969able I am sobbing.. he's a legend. Unmistakable voice. Just sad.
+wayne6969able I grew up with this kind of music. I grew up with Earth Wind And Fire. I grew up listening to Maurice White. And now he's gone forever. You can have your much needed rest now brother. Farewell...
+mybigbluetoad Me too... I was thinking that as well..
+Claudia Samuels Same as you are, I am crying buckets of tears right now. What a loss it is to the music industry. I had so much respect for the guy.

Im afraid of being alone but im not staying in a abusive relationship.

Are you getting divorced because you have bad grammar?
@@thomasforsha8239 why you so mean
Thomas Forsha You need to self reflect on how not to be a dickhead.
God bless u I hope you ok and I pray another good love come your way..its hard don't give up...jus love you and give love a chance
In 100 years, people will still be listening to, playing and loving on this song. EWF was pure class for your ears.
Dear Daniel: Definitely: Debussy and Djovak would have done their dues. It is EWF. ELP, ELO, YES, Clash, U-Roy, and Lang Lang, will be the sounds that the world will call classical music -- rife for the history books of the 2122 planet's class.
David Foster is a genius!
Dear Daniel: David Foster is a genius!
Still is.
I remember Sundays in the summer when there was nothing else on TV. My dad who put the album on the old Sears Hi-fi. He would be in his recliner reading the paper. My mom was cooking dinner. My sister and I would be playing either a card or board game. Life was awesome.
Did y'all ever watch The Wondeful World of Disney on Sunday nights?
Every time I hear this song, I have to stop what I'm doing, turn it up, and sing along (badly). One of the greatest
Now this is music
your right on that one..
top banging musical accompaniment to a night of luuuurve.
hector vega
amen
This reminds me so much of being young and 17 and in love then losing it. Just love this song :)
Chord progression is carefully placed and seamless. One of EWF's masterpiece.
OMG! Absolutely!These guys are another special musical "gift" from GOD!
Yup
Can’t find good music like this anymore ❤❤❤
Not at all 😢
After Maurice is gone, what's truly left regarding good music? So sad that a beautiful era in music is gone. He will truly be missed by true music lovers.
early 2000's kid here starting to explore music from the past. Safe to say that this is a good start. Beautiful
Can't go much higher than this. THIS is music.
Same🙌🏽
From Turkey - 2001
There is hope for the younger generation after all.

Just turned 21. And I'm so thankful getting in to these music cause of my parents. Back when I was younger I couldn't really get into it. But time goes by and I'm getting older and now hearing these classics gives me good vibes. RIP Mr. White
Glad to hear young people getting into the songs we all enjoyed as teens. I was 15 when this was first on the radio. Still have the 45. I'm about to turn 52 myself.

"What used to be right is wrong..." Earth, Wind & Fire are the BEST!
Laura G: Sounds like today's political and judicial system -- in reverse: What used to be wrong is right!
One of the greatest grooves ever laid down by a classic band. Love the signature sax solo at the end. This, right here, was musical history in the making!
Richard Kallio I have always loved that sax solo as well! We were truly lucky to have lived during a time when so much fantastic music was made by actual musicians and real singers. Love me some Earth, Wind and Fire!!!!
Got any good classic bands for me? I’m trying to make a playlist but I only have a couple really good songs.
This Song Is. a Truly Masterpiece!!!. Sad But So True!!!!
2:54 Those five hits into the key change are just orgasmic!.
They use this song in music schools around the world
almost 40 years after...and still sounds great...RIP Mr White..you will be missed...
Who’s here 2020 😊♥💖
We are in sunny BOURNEMOUTH UK.
I'm here!! Song is still relevant!! Sounds as good as it did when I was 14 yrs old and just learning about love!

My mom just passed away. Earth Wind and Fire was her favorite band. My Dad abused her for a long time and her parents before that and she became addicted to drugs and alcohol as a result. Didn’t really get to know the good parts of her. One of the few memories I have during the good days of her life is standing on her feet as a toddler dancing with her to this song. Grateful for Earth Wind and Fire.
I'm terribly sorry for your loss.
Sry for your loss
Sorry for your loss
May she rest in heaven 🙏

Me: "Hey guys, what key is this in?"
Earth Wind & Fire: "Yes"

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
For awhile, to love was all we could do
We were young and we knew
In our eyes, we're alive
Deep inside, we knew our love was true
For awhile, we paid no mind to the past
We knew love would last
Every night, something right
Would invite us to begin the day
[Pre-Chorus]
Something happened along the way
What used to be happy is sad
Something happened along the way
And yesterday was all we had
[Chorus]
And, oh, after the love has gone
How could you lead me on
And not let me stay around?
Oh, oh, oh, after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found?
[Verse 2]
For awhile, to love each other with all
We would ever need
Love was strong for so long
Never knew that what was wrong
Oh, baby, wasn't right
We tried to find what we had
Till sadness was all we shared
We were scared
This affair would lead our love in two
[Pre-Chorus]
Something happened along the way
Yesterday was all we had
Something happened along the way
What used to be happy is sad
Something happened along the way
Oh, and yesterday was all we had
[Chorus]
And, oh, after the love has gone
How could you lead me on
And not let me stay around?
Oh, oh, oh, after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
After the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found?
Oh, oh, oh
After the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found?
Oh, oh, oh
After the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found?
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
After the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found?
Oh, oh, oh
After the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found?

Deep inside we knew our love was true
For a while we paid no mind to the past

Oh oh, oh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
Oh, oh, oh, after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
After the love is gone. Baby it use to be right and is wrong and now its lost and found
So So right what's happened to this world?

Why did you feel it will as necessary to say your white. Just appreciate the music.
A fabulous song wrote by the amazing David Foster
The lyrics are too touching and beautiful for a breakup song,
also, Jay Graydon, Bill Champlin.
Foster is a cunt but hes so talented
Man this song is great. I have so many memories attached to it from my childhood. My mother would play this song and all of their other songs in the house while she was cleaning up and smoking her weed and drinking her beer. Everytime I hear it it brings tears to my eyes. Tears of joy I call it.
Mine too while we were cleaning 😊
Love this ❤
Damn
Wow what a role model she was! Im sure you turned out great
YESSIR
EW&F were one of the greatest bands ever.
"Something happened along the way" Who cannot relate?
Smmfh, I can. Still trying to figure out WTF happened.!💕🎼✌️
mike5556 agree
The chord change at 0:54 is genius! You usually get them at the end of a song when they can't think of a good ending
👍👍🎼🎵 Nice ,U have the 👂 for Great Music.!!🎵🎼🎵👍👍👌
I can't even get passed the intro with the keys and synth lead! It gets me every time.🤦🏿♂️

Ezra Bufford it was written by the band Chicago
It was written by David Foster.
Brings back memory of my husband who passed in January 2024. We saw this group along with Chicago. One of last concerts we enjoyed together. Rest in peace my Love of 48 years...
My sincere's condolences and sympathies for the passing of your beloved husband
Truly touching 😢
48 years, wow, just so hard to let go of a love so strong no doubt. My sympathies and hugs x
I am so sorry for your loss but wow, what a blessing to have 48 years. I would have given anything to have that with my husband. Hugs.
One of my favorite songs from this legendary group! RIP Maurice White.
+Manuel Orozco Who is Maurice Williams?
David USF He's one of the co founders of the group and was also one of their songwriters.
+Manuel Orozco If that's the case, then who is Maurice White?
David USF I just told you
+Manuel Orozco No you didn't. You were talking about Maurice Williams. I was asking you about Maurice White. Do you understand now?
Simply Beautiful... Priceless
This song is so good! I wish people would like this song has people like other Earth Wind and Fire songs. This is just so calm and it has a good beat. And the chorus is beautiful. I’ve watched this video so many times. I love this song. And it’s sad that it’s kind of a underrated Earth Wind and Fire song.
Wow God created music 🎶 for us to enjoy.listen to how beautiful it is when we don't pervert it.
Beef Ross It's my favorite song of theirs, has been since I first heard it. Btw...I'm a 76 year old white dude.
This was a big hit & was always on the radio in 79/80. Great song 👍
Dear Maurice White..
I am here on your 80th birthday, not to say much,but to say thank you. I'd be lying if I say that my appreciation for quality music and everything which goes into it,and my appreciation for the real things of life(time,relationships, true love) hasn't been bolstered,after I found EW&F. I fell fully for EWF after I gave this song a try on midnight in September, and it's been no turning back from then. The soundtrack of my youth is rightfully tuning, and I'm happy about how I'm seeing my future,now,as a young guy in his 20's,all which has your influence. In all,I want to say,thank you,for giving us Earth, Wind and Fire.
A Happy Posthumous Birthday to you,Maurice. Keep doing your thing,now for God,up there. 🙏🏻🙏🏻💯
Amen 🙏🏼
Nice!
he's dead.
One of the the most honest heartfelt songs ever, Earth,wind and fire tore this cut up
Yeah. Too bad it had to be about a lost love.
Was born on 2001 but I am inlove with this song. This shouldn't be forgotten and let's cherish this kind of music. Much love 💕
I'm born in 1984. This song appeals to any and every generation!!! This band is legendary, one of the greatest ever. This song is timeless!
Hard to beat late 1970's music. It just had a neat vibe unlike any other era.
The 80's were good as well
It was the birth of modern times. It needed a very special launch.
Difficult to play, yet Earth Wind and Fire make it so easy. Timeless music.
😭 This song even got the 90's babies crying.
Why are you crying? You ruined my good mood 😡
Janitsu
😭Too bad
Smmfh, very well said.!!🎤🎤🎼🎼🎼✌️👍
...because the parents are divorced?
Preach
I love Earth, Wind and Fire! They sound like they are singing from the soul. The harmony is amazing. This song touches my heart. I will never stop listening to them.
Extraordinary Production. R.I.P Brother Maurice. Your love will always be with us.
This... Is... MUSIC!!!
James E. Siler chuuch
I totally agree @James E Siler ☑🎤🎶💙😎
My God! Listen to those voices; listen to that harmony…and then think of what we listen to now.
Great memories

Easy for Philip Bailey’s voice to stand out in recordings but when you have seen them live, it was so clear Maurice was the glue, heart and soul of this group. Such colossal talent and good vibes. My HS band director toured with EW&F in the supporting band so we performed many of their great songs and they are seared in my memory. So uplifting and positive, but THAT GROOVE!!!!!
One of best ballads out there. Pure feeling, pure emotion...20/20
Now this was music. I'd rather listen to a group like this over some of the crap that's out these days.
Nick Rimmer Yes.. Music now a days is a hot ass mess 😕
Ever notice that some of most beautiful songs ever written are breakup songs or songs after failed relationships.. You remember the days/nights, you'd just broken up with that special person, this song would come on, and you'd turned into a blubbering mess..
Playing this for my kids so they'd know what real music is.
This song tears me up. So beautiful.
jerusalem here i am
Marcus Schiebold I just cried thinking abut my ex wife 7 years she been gone and still I still think about her at least I'm man enough to admit it
That's when you know it's a great song for sure
Probably one of the greatest songs ever written. This song always makes me realize what life is really about. It’s love! It still gives me goosebumps. So many great memories. ❤️💙❤️
Me too. It is a classic.
Love is essential
Beautifulest?
I come here for a reality check. No more social networks for me. I’m done. This song came out way before any social network existed. Glad I grew up with this music. Thank you! 🙏🏼 ❤
