As much as I love this song it's always so hard listening to it. My brother died from injuries sustained in a car wreck, I was only 14, he was just 18. He used to play guitar. The part that always gets me crying is "Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day, if you listen to the wind you can still hear him play..." Not a day goes by that I don't miss him, it's been 39 years.
Got to cruise the mountains yesterday with my dad who is fighting cancer at 63.. this has always been one of his favorite songs and bands. I was almost in tears getting to sing it with him one more time for sure.
I was 63 last year when I was diagnosed with cancer. Fortunately it was non-invasive, the surgery was successful, I have had no recurrence or spread of malignancy, my treatment has been straightforward and bearable, and my prognosis is good. Be assured that your Dad deeply appreciates you and any siblings you may have, and considers himself deeply lucky to have created another generation to follow him. You are his legacy. I have no kids myself, and I'm fine with it. My choice. I've had a big wakeup call going forward. In an odd kind of way, I'm grateful for it. Cancer is a bitch, but it's pervasive and to some degree inevitable. 40% or more of us will get some form of it. The only answer to this fact is to live mindfully, kindly, realistically and proactively. Avoid what limits your understanding and wastes your time, and LIVE. Best of luck to you.
I am 66 and have secondary cancer. It songs like these that keep me going and bring back such great memories. Bad company are one of the best bands ever and Paul is a brilliant singer.
I'm 63 this year and I've been rocking out to bed company as long as I can remember it's Dick's Journey Kansas Zeppelin Eddie Money Eagles Styx Kansas Foreigner. There's more that I can not remember at this point but the list goes on and on and on all awesome rock and rollers Paul Rodgers is the one of the best for the lead singer I've heard some of the other guys they do a pretty good job but he's the original from what I remember God bless him and God bless you all keep up the good work guys keep rocking and rolling in 2024. I will to the day I die. And remember they all said that rock and roll was just a fad well apparently the fads been around for about 60 plus years. Yippee skippy dippy LOL😊😊😊
That is way too young to pass on. So sorry 😞😢for your loss. I hope you cherish the time you had with her. I almost lost my mother 21 years ago. She will be 82 in June and I cherish the time I get to spend with her.
I'm 60+ and my boyfriend use to sing this song to me at night, when we first got together. Fast forward 35 years and he still sings to me. Thanks for the memories.
Paul Rodgers, one of the most underrated voices in rock history, love the band, brings back memories of those teen years. Watching dazed and confused and hearing songs from this era
Aiiiiiiieeeeeee!!! Every time I read a “so underrated “ comment I cry out! Aaiiieeeee!! Everyone who says so and so is so underrated has no idea what they are talking about.
15 years old when I first heard this track 64 years old loved this band ever since keep rocking the grave is nearer than it was, keep smiling live passes us by like a long summer day. ♥️👍
To my husband who passed from an overdose on 2/14/2020. When we first started dating at 16 he introduced me to this song and said it felt like it would be the story of his life. In a way, that ended up being true. RIP dude. I will always love you.
Brilliant track. I am a British musician who lives in France and I used to play this live, hundreds of times. The audience loved it, even though most of them didn’t know it. It just goes to show what a great song it is.

Love this song 🎵 ❤️ 💕, it really sends a message about fame that if you're not mentally ready for it,you could end up with your life being cut way too short. Cause,being famous can take a toll on you mentally, emotionally, and physically, and spiritually.
The reality is no one is ready for fame it is a winding twisting road and you do the best you can to stay on it and if you reach the end and you survive without to much damage you have done well,Kevin.L.P.Atkinson Rock Bassist/Writer.
love to you and yours. he is always there. to love and guide you. i know, I lost my brother in 1980 but he is always talking to me. i just have to listen.
Man, it hurts to hear this song. This was always my dad's favorite song and one that he for sure wanted played at his funeral. Well, it was played right after Christmas last year. I can't make it through this song without shedding a tear anymore. God, I miss you dad.
This was one of my Dads fav too......... he didnt want nothing played that i kno of at his funeral man ..i feel ya bro, hang in there great song tho song wld come on my dad would always say Love me do
There some younging to that love bad company including me and I'm only 15 I love sitting out on the porch with my parents and listen to a whole lot of old song I love my rock!
I used to make cassette tapes off the radio. This made it to my mix. I played it over and over. I played soft ball on a traveling state team. My cassette became the team’s favorite on the road. Those were some great times❤😊
Hear you grey beard here taping music of am then fm radio then mixing tracks , not as in what people call mixing these days but back i9n the day made tapes for a few friends to drive 2.......interspersed with Pink Floyd ect
I've been listening to Paul Rodgers sing since before there even was a Bad Company. Back when he was the front man for a band called Free. My favorite song of theirs was Fire And Water. His vocal style is unmistakable All the guys in Lynyrd Skynyrd were big fans of them.
I remember being at a Bad Company show back in the 80's and when they played this song - the whole arena when nuts. Everyone stood up and sang along and clapped to the beat. It was a really great time.
This tune hit in 75, I was 12. I was hooked forever. Best rock n roll song ever! I was sure for a long time I’d be found just like Johnny…so were many others… I only hoped you’d hear me somehow in the wind..lucky for me and my 4 amazing children I met Jesus and tomorrow I turn 60!! Not been an easy road but it’s an amazing ride when you know the true Creator 🙏🙏
Amen brother, I was 22 and I really was bad company back then until I was in my 30s thanks to my Jesus I survived and raised 2 buitiful daughters and 2 buitiful grandchildren the oldest just graduated 2024
This was my wife’s favorite band. We live about 30 miles away I borrowed her cassette and with jam out to this headed to see her every day after work after 31 years she’s still sitting right here beside me for some reason! 😎
Wait, if you don’t mind me asking, why don’t you and your wife live together after 31 years??? Just seems like a weird unusual situation that I would like to know more about lol. Sorry for being nosey
I met my wife when she was down on break from the University of Minnesota. I was active duty. We just bumped into each other....25 years later here we are!! 👍
My husband passed and this was the last song he and our son jammed to in his car.and i played at his funeral. 17 yrs later, still cry every time I hear it.
"Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day - if you listen to the wind, you can still hear him play." That last line still gets me a little teary-eyed, every time. 🧡
This band does not get enough credit Paul Rodgers voice is one of a kind and soooo many great hits,I was just a kid rocking out to these guys and pushing 60,still rocking out ,always will 😁❤
it was actually a pretty fukd up time filled with a ridiculous amount of weird ass serial killers and stupid ass hippie retards like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warrens tho??
My sister passed away in the early hours of the 17th march 2021, this ones for you Pol, you and i singing at the top of our voices to this, will always remind me of you. God bless sweetheart, sleep tight. Love you. ❤
So sorry for your loss. My son passed December 26, 2020. He was 34. His name was Johnie. I just woke up and this song started. He couldn’t handle the memories of his two tours in Iraq any longer. Miss him, but got to spend a week with him on Thanksgiving 2020. We will treasure that time with him.
My best friend in this world is a half brother to Randy Rhoads. The part "If you listen to the wind you can still hear him play" always makes me think of Randy and how we lost him far too soon.
My absolute FAVORITE !! Been sharing this quite often. Woke up then morning & thought of this in bed so immediately went to RUclips, pulled this up, started dancing to the beat , picked up one of my husbands pictures who’s in heaven, kissed him, sang this to him & we danced together . 🙌 I’ll see you again Kenny Myers my shooting star 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
@@larrysherman4809 thank you♥️ I just happen to be on here & actually stopped by the cemetery to watch the beautiful sunset doing errands. 15 years last May. He’s still my one & only. I know he’s with me.. still get signs & never forget those pennies from Heaven show up everywhere when you least expect it & they’re always on heads. Dimes also. Found his quarter on heads in some old potting soil that fell out in garage. It was 1982 , laying heads up on concrete ♥️✌️
Not untreated at all they burned up the charts in their season now they are the shooting star that always lands .Smile and remember this one as a youth...
I went to see bad company in 1976 1980 1982 best classic rock concert i have ever seen i had sex at the 1976 concert for the first time in the mens batthroom i was 14 she had to be in her 20s she walked up to me asked if i had a joint i said yea we went in a stall took a few hits she unzipped my pants to me it was my lucky day i didnt even ask her name one thing about bad company every song is good they have no bad songs
I was born as the last of the boomers, beginning of the X’s. I watched men land on the moon and now watching my nation turn into what we’ve fought for over a hundred years. I’ve seen, heard, lived, the greatest music of all time. I was born and lived in a simpler age. One that has became more complex by the day, then the hour, now by the second. With the exceptions of my memories, I’ve outlived my joy. But, man, they are some epic memories.
@@tcbrison6592 I would really like to do that. When I was a teenager I had this recurring dream, dozens of times, of being old. Long gray hair and beard. Each dream was exactly the same. I was sitting in an old cane back rocking chair, on a shaded, field stone & concrete front porch, enjoying an amazingly cool breeze, smoking blunts, drinking beer, and telling old stories to the neighborhood kids. But, it was just a dream. Kids now don’t want to hear from old people. (Truth being told, I’m not sure they ever really have). My heart aches for the kids and young adults of the modern western world today. They have no imagination. Theirs is given to them, thrown at them, by everyone else through tv, electronic games, the internet, society, and all their “smart” devices. Their “experiences” and “life lessons” aren’t their own. They’ll never know what it’s really like to experience the amazing smell and taste of honeysuckle deep in the woods. Building forts and treehouses. How to catch fish in a small stream using paper clip hooks, cotton string, and bread for bait. Snapping green beans, shelling peas, itching like crazy after picking corn and okra. Having a “pet” cow. Flying June-bugs on a string, or filling a mason jar with lightening bugs. How awesome a piece of Wrigley’s spearmint gum tastes just to be quiet & still in church. How great just churned peach ice cream is even when it feels like your arm may fall off. The pain of the first blisters of the summer on bare feet, and then again a few months later when trying to put on & wear shoes when school starts back. In-neighborhood, or vs another neighborhood football & baseball games. Kick the can until dark-thirty and the Mom calls to come home uses both first & middle names. These memories and thousands of others filled, and were, my childhood, and will be unknown to current and future generations. Maybe when, or if, I get a few years older my “story telling” dream will come true.
My name is actually John, and i am a musician. My mom, who abused me and is a crackhead, used to play this song and tell me it reminded her of me whenever she hears it. She used to sing it out loud and tear up everytime it came on. Thats really the only good memory, or real emotion i ever felt or have of her .
@@JohnKobre-i5c idk who you are and ik this sounds hard to believe but what im saying is 100% true and i felt compelled to comment it just bc it was so odd. I been goin through hard times living out my car workin 2 dead end jobs. Your comment popped up yesterday, i read it , liked it and listened to this song. I kid you not, all bs aside, after nearly 5 yrs of no contact i got a message 2 hrs later on fb from my lil brother asking for my number. When i gave it to him, i got a call 20 mins later. It was my mother. She got a lawsuit settlement recently , and said she wanted to do w.e she could to help me right now because she feels so guilty about not being around when i needed her growing up. This is literally the first thing my mother has genuienly done for me in 34 years of life. If im lying bout this story may God strike me down right after. Whoever you are, your message/prayer is definetley in tune with God himself! Thank you and i pray you are as blessed as can be as well!!
Rest in peace, Johnny. At thirty four years, you were my brother that was taken too soon. Same day kaytie and I got eloped, and I never got to tell you the good news. 12/23/23. Each day, I'll listen to the wind and hear you play. You are alive until my last breath, as I carry you with me. I'll see you in the stars.
When i was diagnosed with cancer hearing the doctor tell me what the course of action would be and what i would have to indure made me realize just how short life can be. This song comes to mind everytime i think about that day.
Hello, how are you doing now with that diagnosis? I myself just went through surgery as a result of that as well. No history of that in my family at all but yet here it is. But I’m content that it was me and not anyone else in my family. In the last couple years I’ve lost two lady friends that were very special to me as a result of that shyt. It certainly does not discriminate who it attacks. Good Day to You.
your first year is the hardest - the hole can never be filled, THANK GOD > THEY LIVE WITH US ALL THE REST OF OUR DAYS IN OUR HARTS AND MIND EYE. It will get better ************************************************************** coming up on 13 years mine picked a star to go to *
@@1carlportl I don't see it ever getting better. This is the hardest thing I've ever had to endure. It's not natural. But I am praying for some peace in my life. Thank you for your kind words. And I'm very sorry for your loss. 💔😭💔
Don’t worry everyone is a shooting star, we are equal, when you see the moon tonight, remember the light only comes after the dark, so give thanks to almost to nothing, we are gods children. Blessed we are. CB
I'm 71 and I had this this Bad Co. album. Shooting Star was my favorite song on the album by far. My brother Mike is a professional guitarist who has played in several bands, and he's played the lead guitar parts in this song note for note, and played them great.
This song makes me think of my Dad, who passed away 6 months ago. My Dad had this album and used to play these songs when I was a kid.. I love Bad Company. I cry when I hear these songs, I think of my Dad and the fun person that he was.😭😭😭
That gentle reminder to never let your life pass you by, live and love the moment ❤

please make a point to plan for a rainy day though. It's gonna come and it's easier to handle if you're prepared for it. But enjoy every moment you can

Thinking of your bro everyday, he's in your heart. He's still with you, babe.
Got to cruise the mountains yesterday with my dad who is fighting cancer at 63.. this has always been one of his favorite songs and bands. I was almost in tears getting to sing it with him one more time for sure.
sorry for your fight and pain,i lost my mom for cancer and she really loved bad company
I was 63 last year when I was diagnosed with cancer. Fortunately it was non-invasive, the surgery was successful, I have had no recurrence or spread of malignancy, my treatment has been straightforward and bearable, and my prognosis is good.
Be assured that your Dad deeply appreciates you and any siblings you may have, and considers himself deeply lucky to have created another generation to follow him. You are his legacy.
I have no kids myself, and I'm fine with it. My choice. I've had a big wakeup call going forward. In an odd kind of way, I'm grateful for it. Cancer is a bitch, but it's pervasive and to some degree inevitable. 40% or more of us will get some form of it. The only answer to this fact is to live mindfully, kindly, realistically and proactively. Avoid what limits your understanding and wastes your time, and LIVE. Best of luck to you.

This was my wife’s favorite band. We live about 30 miles away I borrowed her cassette and with jam out to this headed to see her every day after work after 31 years she’s still sitting right here beside me for some reason! 😎
Treasure it my friend. I lost my wife of 29 years a while back and it still kicks my a$$, but getting there.
Awww best comment ever ❤️
Wait, if you don’t mind me asking, why don’t you and your wife live together after 31 years???
Just seems like a weird unusual situation that I would like to know more about lol. Sorry for being nosey
I met my wife when she was down on break from the University of Minnesota. I was active duty. We just bumped into each other....25 years later here we are!! 👍
Lmao now I'm driving about that distance to see that same woman smh that's how the world turns ...
lisa im 58 and thank god i grew up on this music.. im been blessed
My husband passed and this was the last song he and our son jammed to in his car.and i played at his funeral. 17 yrs later, still cry every time I hear it.
I'm so sorry. This song is so beautiful I can't even imagine the layers of emotion you have from those experiences. Hugs. ❤
Uodate.. This band is still great.
My dad taught me to love great music like this. RIP Dad💔
"Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day - if you listen to the wind, you can still hear him play." That last line still gets me a little teary-eyed, every time. 🧡
Hendrix, baby. We all miss him.
I got chills all through my body. also brought tears. rip.
Lets Jam to it Together....????
My baby brother just passed April 21! I miss him tremendously 😞😭 His name was Johnny! 😁😁😁

This band does not get enough credit Paul Rodgers voice is one of a kind and soooo many great hits,I was just a kid rocking out to these guys and pushing 60,still rocking out ,always will 😁❤
Absolutely, I'm 56yrs old and still crank it up!!
The best voice ,period
Yes it takes me back to my youth now 66 time flew by🙃
@huggybearjohnson4197 Who else?
Paul Rodgers is 74 years old
😢😢😢the best song ,making in history, the message 😢😢 it's real 😢😢
Early 70s, such an awesome time.
it was actually a pretty fukd up time filled with a ridiculous amount of weird ass serial killers and stupid ass hippie retards like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warrens tho??
Reminds me of my late big brother, he loved Paul Rogers
Bad Company hit it big right as I turned 14, they defined cool and my life as a teen! Bad Company was always playing in my car!
Did you manage to wreck a Trans Am or Camaro or some other MOPAR, listening to Bad Company? LOL
Me too. And this album is sooo satisfying. When we had no fears or worries!!!
GaGrown is and 59 still love anything from that era.Those were some of the best days and years of my life!
✌
Took my daughter to see bad company when she was 13 and I was 31... best time ever
Sweet❤
Awesome reciprocal numbers
My sister passed away in the early hours of the 17th march 2021, this ones for you Pol, you and i singing at the top of our voices to this, will always remind me of you. God bless sweetheart, sleep tight. Love you. ❤
So sorry for your loss , one of my favorite songs .
@@gregemurphy346 thank you.
God bless.
So sorry for your loss. My son passed December 26, 2020. He was 34. His name was Johnie. I just woke up and this song started. He couldn’t handle the memories of his two tours in Iraq any longer. Miss him, but got to spend a week with him on Thanksgiving 2020. We will treasure that time with him.
@@littlequeen22 i'm sad for your loss too, bless you and your family.....OMG 34, no age. Sending you hugs from the UK. X
My mom also passed 2004 she was 68, came from Nazi Latvia war time to the USA and had me,, I miss you mommy this ones for you ❤ 💫🇺🇸
How can you not like this beautiful song.....don't you know that you're a shooting star???? ❤Y
One of the best song from bad company.
My best friend in this world is a half brother to Randy Rhoads. The part "If you listen to the wind you can still hear him play" always makes me think of Randy and how we lost him far too soon.
I'm 53 and female. Still rocking ❤
My absolute FAVORITE !! Been sharing this quite often. Woke up then morning & thought of this in bed so immediately went to RUclips, pulled this up, started dancing to the beat , picked up one of my husbands pictures who’s in heaven, kissed him, sang this to him & we danced together . 🙌
I’ll see you again Kenny Myers my shooting star 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Wow what a tribute to your man… Sorry he is gone
@@larrysherman4809 thank you♥️ I just happen to be on here & actually stopped by the cemetery to watch the beautiful sunset doing errands. 15 years last May. He’s still my one & only. I know he’s with me.. still get signs & never forget those pennies from Heaven show up everywhere when you least expect it & they’re always on heads. Dimes also. Found his quarter on heads in some old potting soil that fell out in garage. It was 1982 , laying heads up on concrete ♥️✌️
@@larrysherman4809 and thank you AGAIN.. you just made me sing 🎶 this to him again 🎵🤝✌️👏🤛🤛🤛🤛
@@katherinemyers1519 That is so awesome And so rare to have what you had and still have with him

Rock n Roll Will Never Die!!!
Great year...

Ditto!!!! PEACE & LOVE!
I was 17 years old when this came out smoking bowls and doing acid smoking hash and living it up
I was born in 75. That makes me love this song even more
Mary all day long 58 years old I grew up on this and I love it to this day
It's tunes such as these that keep the memories of our loved ones alive in body, heart, mind and soul.
Love is never free unconditionally.
One of the greatest rocking roll voices of all time.. when god handed out voices he gave Paul Rogers a special one! rock on
Actually your right, he has
@@Deejaay83urj38 Thanks Dawn , nothing like great music. Even though it's so hard to find these days.
love it
I was born as the last of the boomers, beginning of the X’s. I watched men land on the moon and now watching my nation turn into what we’ve fought for over a hundred years. I’ve seen, heard, lived, the greatest music of all time. I was born and lived in a simpler age. One that has became more complex by the day, then the hour, now by the second. With the exceptions of my memories, I’ve outlived my joy. But, man, they are some epic memories.
Watching the feet that follow stomp our shiny dreams and deeds to dust...
I feel the same man. So grateful I was born when I was. We were the last to experience that gift
You sound like a person with plenty of stories. I’m sure much of the current generations would love to hear them.
@@tcbrison6592 I would really like to do that. When I was a teenager I had this recurring dream, dozens of times, of being old. Long gray hair and beard. Each dream was exactly the same. I was sitting in an old cane back rocking chair, on a shaded, field stone & concrete front porch, enjoying an amazingly cool breeze, smoking blunts, drinking beer, and telling old stories to the neighborhood kids. But, it was just a dream. Kids now don’t want to hear from old people. (Truth being told, I’m not sure they ever really have).
My heart aches for the kids and young adults of the modern western world today. They have no imagination. Theirs is given to them, thrown at them, by everyone else through tv, electronic games, the internet, society, and all their “smart” devices. Their “experiences” and “life lessons” aren’t their own. They’ll never know what it’s really like to experience the amazing smell and taste of honeysuckle deep in the woods. Building forts and treehouses. How to catch fish in a small stream using paper clip hooks, cotton string, and bread for bait. Snapping green beans, shelling peas, itching like crazy after picking corn and okra. Having a “pet” cow. Flying June-bugs on a string, or filling a mason jar with lightening bugs. How awesome a piece of Wrigley’s spearmint gum tastes just to be quiet & still in church. How great just churned peach ice cream is even when it feels like your arm may fall off. The pain of the first blisters of the summer on bare feet, and then again a few months later when trying to put on & wear shoes when school starts back. In-neighborhood, or vs another neighborhood football & baseball games. Kick the can until dark-thirty and the Mom calls to come home uses both first & middle names. These memories and thousands of others filled, and were, my childhood, and will be unknown to current and future generations.
Maybe when, or if, I get a few years older my “story telling” dream will come true.
@@beentheredonethat4257 Get a social media account...Tiktok that stuff. People would join; I know I would. 🤩
Love this..every time I'm listening to Bad Company songs i wish she was here... i missed my wife badly..she's in heaven now
I hear you down under here.
We are all magical shooting stars that can bring love and life and happiness to others around us. Stars in our eyes
Whoever it is that you lost...that you loved...they are waiting...on the other side.
That's right 💯
My name is actually John, and i am a musician. My mom, who abused me and is a crackhead, used to play this song and tell me it reminded her of me whenever she hears it. She used to sing it out loud and tear up everytime it came on. Thats really the only good memory, or real emotion i ever felt or have of her .
I'm sorry , that's heartbreaking
Bless you trust me eaither way your going to be Just fine watch and see amen thank you Jesus amen ❤❤❤❤
@@JohnKobre-i5c idk who you are and ik this sounds hard to believe but what im saying is 100% true and i felt compelled to comment it just bc it was so odd. I been goin through hard times living out my car workin 2 dead end jobs.
Your comment popped up yesterday, i read it , liked it and listened to this song. I kid you not, all bs aside, after nearly 5 yrs of no contact i got a message 2 hrs later on fb from my lil brother asking for my number. When i gave it to him, i got a call 20 mins later. It was my mother. She got a lawsuit settlement recently , and said she wanted to do w.e she could to help me right now because she feels so guilty about not being around when i needed her growing up. This is literally the first thing my mother has genuienly done for me in 34 years of life.
If im lying bout this story may God strike me down right after. Whoever you are, your message/prayer is definetley in tune with God himself! Thank you and i pray you are as blessed as can be as well!!
DAMM!
Wow that's I don't know what to say but cool
Old School music is Timeless 💯
There's no one like Paul Rodgers! Voice, musicality, taste...
Rest in peace, Johnny. At thirty four years, you were my brother that was taken too soon. Same day kaytie and I got eloped, and I never got to tell you the good news. 12/23/23. Each day, I'll listen to the wind and hear you play. You are alive until my last breath, as I carry you with me. I'll see you in the stars.
My pops used to play this all the time. Drove absolutely crazy with it for decades.
Now I play the old guitar.
Miss ya dad ✌️
When i was diagnosed with cancer hearing the doctor tell me what the course of action would be and what i would have to indure made me realize just how short life can be. This song comes to mind everytime i think about that day.
Hello, how are you doing now with that diagnosis? I myself just went through surgery as a result of that as well. No history of that in my family at all but yet here it is. But I’m content that it was me and not anyone else in my family. In the last couple years I’ve lost two lady friends that were very special to me as a result of that shyt. It certainly does not discriminate who it attacks. Good Day to You.

Earlier this month I started dialysis treatment...My new normal until I can get a kidney....
Prayers for you Brenda Remember old rockers don't die they just keep rockin somewhere else!
May Heaven help you with a wonderful recovery.🙏
We are all shooting stars! Keep your star shining! ❤
RIP, my son. I will miss you & love you till I leave this mean ole world. You were my Shooting Star. B.B.Norman.....3/11/72--1/24/21. 💔💔😭💔💔
your first year is the hardest - the hole can never be filled, THANK GOD > THEY LIVE WITH US ALL THE REST OF OUR DAYS IN OUR HARTS AND MIND EYE. It will get better ************************************************************** coming up on 13 years mine picked a star to go to *
@@1carlportl I don't see it ever getting better. This is the hardest thing I've ever had to endure. It's not natural. But I am praying for some peace in my life. Thank you for your kind words. And I'm very sorry for your loss. 💔😭💔
They don't make music like this anymore.
No they don’t!!!!
fbenegasi3185- THAT'S for DANG sure and it's totally sad too, with the music that they come out with is nothing but pure crap!
That is the absolute truth!!!!!!!
@@Stones-b1j Uhhh? Styx had many songs out and which one were you referring to here?
Nopr
I don't drink; but when this song comes on I feel like cracking a beer, and telling kids stories of my youth.
Oh ya I tell mine all kinds of roudy stuff we used to do.
Good times in Michigan. Love that man a singing.
Classic
Well , I'll drink to that 🌠👍🍺🍺🍺🍺❤💎🔥🔥🔥🔥
Me too Mama, they LOVE OUT MUSIC
Don’t worry everyone is a shooting star, we are equal, when you see the moon tonight, remember the light only comes after the dark, so give thanks to almost to nothing, we are gods children. Blessed we are. CB
criminal that Bad Company is not in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame
How is that even possible ?
According to Paul Rodgers, they were asked and turned it down.
can you turn down the hall?@@donkalil4853
The R&R Hall of Fame is trash. Same as MLB Hall of Fame for not letting Pete Rose in.
They can't let them in they are saying that spot for Beyonce once she finishes trashing country music.
Lol
This was probably my dad's favorite song. He used to play this a lot. He died last year
In my opinion, One of the best songs ever by a great band.
This song reminds me of my old best friend and his father. Listening to this brings me right back to early morning, driving to our pheasant hunt!!
Fantastic song, a true classic !!!! '70s Rock still Rules !!!!
ROCK n ROLL WILL NEVER DIE!!!
I'm 71 and I had this this Bad Co. album. Shooting Star was my favorite song on the album by far. My brother Mike is a professional guitarist who has played in several bands, and he's played the lead guitar parts in this song note for note, and played them great.
@@gabrielsandoval3737 you know it
The 70s talent will never be approached
This song makes me think of my Dad, who passed away 6 months ago. My Dad had this album and used to play these songs when I was a kid.. I love Bad Company. I cry when I hear these songs, I think of my Dad and the fun person that he was.😭😭😭
This is so powerful and moving. The lead singer, the drumming and the guitar are just perfect!!!!!
One of the best bands and songs ever
To all that lost a loved one you're shooting stars are watching over you.
That's so sweet! Totally awesome way to look at it! PEACE & LOVE!
My heart hurts listening to these great old songs. More innocent times...
