The line “I will lay down my heart….and I’ll feel the power…but you won’t”, is the key to this song. It raises it above a thousand of other sad love songs and makes it something truly heartbreaking and universal. I am not a lover of commercial hits but his one still gets to me.
I am obsessed with this song - have been for years. Everyone who sings it brings out different aspects of it, because the song itself is so rich. What a treasure for us to be able to hear the composer - or co-composer - show us even more raw hues through his singing and delivery. As a classical musician, how often I wish I could hear Bach or Tchaikovsky or anyone in between communicate directly how he or she would have interpreted the music they had written.
People, this Man cowrote this song. He deserves your recognition beyond the industries insult he was given. He is an icon in my eyes . Should be yours too.
I absolutely love this song! Thank you Allen for creating such a universal beauty ❤️
And a masterpiece was made for eternity.....
One of the nicest Songs ever written.
Man...that was just lovely...thanks to songwriters everywhere!

What a great story by one of the songwriters of an awesome song. Pretty darn good rendition too.

One of the most poignant songs ever written.

I had to suffer through all the bla bla bla for that
Hard to beat Bonnie Raitt, but he DID CO-WRITE the song! Made millions I'm sure!
