He sure is ...I saw cheap trick a few years ago in Brisbane Robin Zander is brilliant and hot...Im a fan of Rick Neeson. I have a few plectrums of Rick's he flicked into the crowd. Best live concert I'd seen in years
November 1982, I had fallen hard for a pretty blonde. We met at a skating rink, and as we were about to leave, this song came on. I moved in for a kiss, and 37+ years from then we are still together. Two kids and a grandson. Cheap Trick is the soundtrack of our life.
Robin Zander is one of the Best vocalist in Rock n Roll history. He did not get the credit he deserved. One of the all time Greats! Thx Robin for al you gave us. I definitely noticed your talent I played drums since 1976, and it would have been a dream to play behind you sir!
I saw Cheap Trick in Phoenix, mid 1980s great seats. My ears rang for days. I'm now 62 years old and my ears still ring. Still listen to Cheap Trick. One of the best groups ever. Love you guys thanks for everything. Even the ringing
I was in 8th grade when this was released. Little did I know that those would be some of the best days of my life. What a great time to be alive. I wish kids today could have had a chance to experience such simpler times.
This was and will always be our song. Takes me back to when I was dating my now husband. He used to sing it to in the car. 🥰 Now I get all teary whenever I hear it. It takes me back to a wonderful time when we were so young. Life goes by so fast. ❤️😍👍🎸 Thank you Cheap Trick
@@nicestrat Well, they are a well known band obviously, but to be fair their music should be played on the radio and TV more often. How often do we hear Pink Floyd and Metallica on the radio? They certainly don't give Cheap Trick half the attention they give those other bands I mentioned.
To my mind, this is the most authentically romantic power ballad of the 1980s. it's rare to hear a rock singer with so much power and passion, but that's Robin Zander. What a song and what a band!
The first time I saw Cheap Trick was in the late 70's. I was 16 years old. Since then I have witnessed the enormous talent of these guys 5 or 6 times live. Everyone has their own opinions, but there is one thing that no one can quibble with, they are the hardest working band in the business. Bar none! Great talent, great songs, great sound track to my life.......

A very Happy 69th Birthday Robin Wayne Zander. Born in Beloit, Wisconsin January 23, 1953. Cheap Trick Fans are some of the most loyal fans ever. Many, many more Robin Wayne..
I always have been a fan of Cheap Trick since I was in my early teens and I'm 54 now and I still jam out too this group a lot of times me and my wife does alot and my wife is 56 okay 👍
Mariana Lins: Indeed. *Especially* because as the more time that passes,the further we get from the world that existed during the seventies that spawned this music.
I always loved Bun E's look and demeanor: a depressed, chain-smoking insurance salesman who could also play the drums like there was no tomorrow. His drumming on "Budokan" is amazing.
'One on One' is Cheap Trick's most underrated album. 'If You Want My Love' is just one of the great tracks on the album. You should give it a listen if you haven't heard it.
I was freshman in high school in 1991/1992. I had an economics teacher that reminded me of Bun E Carlos. Mr. Parrot... I remember asking him of he had a drum set... No. I told him that he reminded me of Mr. Carlos and he loved it! "I'm a rockstar"! He retired a little after the new year, and it was a super sad. Mr. Parrot passed away a couple years back. I think of him every time I hear Cheap Trick.
One of the best Rock 'N' Roll songs of all time. Timeless. Catchy. Classic. I 1st heard Cheap Trick when the Lap of Luxury album came out, which i bought on cassette. Still a fan. Always a fan.
The song works because the hook is so strong that, even during the unconventional chord changes of the verses/bridges, you're just anticipating that hook returning. When it finally does, you're like "Aaaaaaahhhh". Great song!!!
John Heffelfinger loved this band and song growing up that change of verse and melody with Cause lonely is only a place You don’t know what it’s like You can’t fight it It’s a hole in my heart, in my heart It absolutely brillant almost 2 distinct sounds to this song it’s amazing, music just isn’t made like this anymore true artists.
This was the first song my parents danced to when they first meet at a club and dad had asked mum to dance. She said when her fav song comes on and it was this one. They have been together ever since and married over 35 years. I hear this song and think of them every time. Thank you for making a song that could be such a powerful memory.
Great story! Congrats to your parents! My wife and I have been married for 31, we don't see many lasting this long now days....must have something do with the music!
The hypnotic delivery of the swaying lights and the chameleon guitar act is a beautiful aid to the song itself. Have always loved Cheap trick since junior high in 1978...
I'm crazy about this beautiful track! It's so amazing. Sending love to all who read this♥️ Congrats to Cheap trick for making the Rock and roll hall of fame !!
Still hard to believe this stalled at #41 in the US. It was played a lot on the radio in the Indianapolis area when I was a kid and on MTV. Great song. Underrated band!
@@larrycoker8093 That and a hell of a lot of competition. Cheap Trick in their prime yrs were basically ignored outside their fanbase. They wrote their own songs, played great LIVE performances had videos but still wasnt a household name. Again, the competition was really fierce. CT owns a special place in my soul they were my first concert at Riverfront coliseum 1979 Dream Police Tour. The Budokan album is one of the best LIVE albums and that put them on the R&R map. I think they did allright though they are in the Rock Hall at least. Finally some recognition.
@FooBar Maximus never cracked the top 40 in the US... Record label didn't get behind this song at all. Radio wasn't playing it, at all. Cheap Trick tried to sue their label over royalties and lost badly. It set their entire career back, almost ruined them. Mtv played it because at that time in 1982, they would play anything to fill up 24 hours of video content. Thankfully, they did because if not, no one would know this song ever existed.
Yet in Australia it was a massive hit in 1982. It ruled the airwaves. Cheap Trick were very popular here. Surprised to hear their record company and radio in America didn’t support this song
Cheap Trick was my first unofficial concert back in June of 1984. I was celebrating my 14th birthday at Water World and they were performing at the Southern Star Ampitheatre next door at Astroworld. There was a ridiculous little three foot high cable fence separating the parks that you can simply walk over and security was pretty lax. Once we got into the crowds it was super easy to not get caught. Too bad we didn't get to stay til the end cause my mom was coming to pick us up!
I had this on vinyl... I loved it. But on MTV at my friends place at 3 AM this took on special meaning. I never saw this video until then. .. It blew my mind. I saw these guys four times.. What a band man. . Seriously..... thank you.
❤This Song!Saw them on that 82 Summer Tour,cause of MtV,back in da day,now!Good Times!With Aldo Nova as an Open act!Just a Fantasy!Cant ya See,what that Crazy life does to me!Yeah!Ha!
I'm so proud of my Midwestern brothers! Saw them many times in the mid-70s during my college days in Michigan. I graduated from college in 1979; Cheap Trick graduated to the stratosphere that same year. Will always love you guys! You're the best American band ever! xxooxx
Always loved this song. Sounds like The Beatles on steroids. 0:57 reminds me of a John Lennon type vocal. Song should have been a bigger hit than it was.
My friend and I saw Robin Zander sitting alone at a restaurant in Studio City. We were too freaked out to ‘bother’ him. God I wish we would have! That man is a Rock God! Gorgeous and that voice! One of the best in Rock.
One intriguing thing about Cheap Trick.... Early 1980's...MTV allowed us to actually see our favorite bands live besides going to a concert. So here you have the drummer, Bun E.,who looked like he could be my dad(at the time), lead guitar Rick with his whacky clothes and a million guitars, Robin king of front men, and the bass player Peterson. What an eclectic group of guys who can bang out killer tunes, Thumbs up CT!!
OdyBeRidin The shame is that if you put together a band like this today and tried to break into the pop music scene, the A and R guys at the label would immediately demand that Rick and Bun be replaced because they are not marketable and would not sell posters and lunchboxes because they are not "good-looking". Then, they would make over Robin and run his voice through an auto-tuner. Then, they would force feed them "formula" pop songs for an extremely narrow demographic and dump them after their second album. God I miss these days.
+Bob Kidd yea basically the truth be cause in the industry today you have writers and owners of musicthey need somebody to sell why all songs sound same musicaly
I'm with you! Same with me💗 I always felt like Cheap Trick was rock 'n roll's best kept secret Finally they were inducted into the Rock ',n Roll Hall of Fame I can't think of a more deserving band. Actually, Cheap Trick has transcended the definition of a "band. " They're an institution!!! Long live Cheap Trick #Lifetime fan💗
"Lonely is a place, you don't know what it's like...... there's a hole in my heart....". Oh, the pain of knowing the future. Really praying hard for you folks. Godspeed to Cheap Trick and all artists and what they go through to protect us all, and above all, thank you!
Brings back many memories from the 80's I remember back in High School. Instead of hearing the school bell to tells us when class starts/ends. They played music from the Scorpions, Ratt, Cheap Tricks, etc for 5 minutes through out the halls. How cool was that !!!!!!. There will never be other era like the 1980's . For the younger generations that listen to our music. A million thanks. Now go and buy the music. Please anyone build me a time machine, so I can go back and yes it will be a one way trip.
I became a fan of this band when I was only 4 years old, because of this song. It was the first song I heard of Cheap Trick, I think it's still such a beautiful song.
NinaFrancisca I was 10 it was Aug 16th 1977, night Elvis died, Cheap Trick opened for Kiss at SF Cow Palace I became an instant fan and have seen them many times over the years...food for my soul.
OMG, the set has a poltergeist! That song is so full of Rock vocalist Impersonations! Rick had to be listening to Slade when he wrote that chorus, and Zander at @2:25 is recreating Lennon & McCartney, not to mention the Choru8s vocal SCREAMS Noddy Holder all thru it! THAT TRACK SHOULD HAVE BEEN A No. 1 BILLBOARD HIT FOR THEM; NOT #40??!..
Have always loved Cheap Trick. I used to have an 8 track of their album Heaven Tonight, my very first by them. I had a huge crush on Robin back then, too. Great memories!
I've liked these dudes for sooo many years. This one has roots in Harrison's "As my guitar gently weeps"...i like the influence. I just miss Peterson..
Cheap Trick is in my Top 15 Bands I LOVE! I have seen them more in concert than anyone else & they R well worth it.... but miss drummer Bun-E Carlos. Missing you Bun-E
I've seen more cheap trick concerts than any other band, in the80's it seemed like they played every outdoor venue in south Florida. They always put on a great show.
I’m a teenager right now and man, you guys were lucky. There is nothing like the stories some of y’all are telling in the comments. I’d give anything to have something like that. Much love friends❤
I saw Cheap Trick on this tour. Considering where I lived in West Texas, Cheap Trick always performed there on tour, as they always drew such great crowds. And they always put on such great shows. Being a young but professional musician, through channels, hung out with them and their opening act, L.A. Guns, at their hotel bar after the show. Doing chemicals and things I shouldn't have been, but hell...it was the EIGHTIES! Just talking guitars with Rick Nielsen made it all worth it. Still cherish their music to this day, and will until the day I die.
I was born in "72 but I LOVE these guys! Something about hearing them as I was growing up just touches the soul.I heard them with their new music in the late 80's with "The Flame" and stuff but nothing compares to this here.This is just freakin rockin,chillin music!
Probably my all time favorite song. When I first saw it on MTV, I was utterly bewitched. I'd spend hours listening to Cheap Trick on vinyl with headphones on and the volume WAY up. I'd stare at Robin on the album cover and lose myself in the music. My youth would not have been the same without Cheap Trick bringing me so much joy with their phenomenal music! I used to watch MTV nonstop waiting for them to play, "If You Want My Love," again and again and again I love you Robin💗
This is my first time hearing this track. (Don't think they were as huge in the UK) It's epic... also has elements of the Beatles and ELO in it too, in my humble opinion. :)
I'm forever thankful to MTV for exposing me to a group like Cheap Trick. Growing up in Los Angeles it was literally RnB 24/7, then we moved to the Bay Area, and not knowing any of the radio stations I would listen to what my friends (Or the stoners at the park) listened to and discovered Cheap Trick. Everyone knew The Dream Police, I Want You To Want Me, and The Flame, but this song just woke me up and made me pay attention. Robin had a very unique and distinctive voice, the pitch and change in the course were brilliant, something a lot of singers would not be able to pull off. I would stay up all night waiting for MTV to play this video, more so because the damn radio stations in California weren't playing it...fucking disgrace. I had a radio DJ from KOME tell me it wasn't a national hit so they weren't playing it yet...
Robin Zander was and is a world-class, top tier vocalist. Hell of a powerful voice and grinding it out for 40 years now.
I have seen at least 50 performances Best vocalist ever.45 years.Better than ever.She Coming home Sgt Pepper
He sure is ...I saw cheap trick a few years ago in Brisbane Robin Zander is brilliant and hot...Im a fan of Rick Neeson. I have a few plectrums of Rick's he flicked into the crowd. Best live concert I'd seen in years
Exactly!
Saw them back in 1992 and Yes 29 yrs later Robin's Voice is just as good now as back then.👍😀
Absolutely
Great song. 1:13 and 2:24 always reminds me of The Beatles / George Harrison 😊
While my guitar gently weeps
November 1982, I had fallen hard for a pretty blonde. We met at a skating rink, and as we were about to leave, this song came on. I moved in for a kiss, and 37+ years from then we are still together. Two kids and a grandson. Cheap Trick is the soundtrack of our life.

You are the master!!!!! Beautiful history.
Robin’s range and power never ceases to amaze me. At 54 I have seen them more times than I can count over 30+ years. Best band EVER!
I agree. I saw the band several times before Covid hit and Robin's voice was still incredible. The whole band still rocks but I miss Bun E.
Congrats jill.thats quite the feather in your cap.id be thrilled to death if I saw them once.you rock girl.rock on..
Just saw them for the first time last week in North Charleston and i was completely blown away. Man has an insane voice
Serious ass vocals ..lol
I just watched them tonight, impressive vocals still.
Terrific song, fantastic band.
They just gel!!
Robin Zander is one of the Best vocalist in Rock n Roll history. He did not get the credit he deserved. One of the all time Greats! Thx Robin for al you gave us. I definitely noticed your talent
I played drums since 1976, and it would have been a dream to play behind you sir!
I saw Cheap Trick in Phoenix, mid 1980s great seats. My ears rang for days. I'm now 62 years old and my ears still ring. Still listen to Cheap Trick. One of the best groups ever. Love you guys thanks for everything. Even the ringing
I was so in love with this singer back in the day , what a spunk!!
Strong Beatles influence in this great song.
Absolutely !!
Wow yes
The Beatles are far away! And the subtlety too...Really cheap!!
This Guy hears “The Beatles” in every song he hears…
Clearly
Unmistakingly obvious Beatles' influence, which is a good thing. Great tune!
I knew i heard that pre chorus melody from the Beatles i just cant remember the song because i keep singing this one 😂 eleanor rigby??
Whose still listening to this in 2024!!😂...mahn! too much nostalgia
The great song and clip too! So close to the Beatles style.

Cheap Trick was my first unofficial concert back in June of 1984. I was celebrating my 14th birthday at Water World and they were performing at the Southern Star Ampitheatre next door at Astroworld. There was a ridiculous little three foot high cable fence separating the parks that you can simply walk over and security was pretty lax. Once we got into the crowds it was super easy to not get caught. Too bad we didn't get to stay til the end cause my mom was coming to pick us up!
I adore Cheap Trick, especially this song!
I had this on vinyl... I loved it. But on MTV at my friends place at 3 AM this took on special meaning. I never saw this video until then. .. It blew my mind. I saw these guys four times.. What a band man. . Seriously..... thank you.
Fabulous!!!! What a wonderful voice!!! Magnificent band!!!!
❤This Song!Saw them on that 82 Summer Tour,cause of MtV,back in da day,now!Good Times!With Aldo Nova as an Open act!Just a Fantasy!Cant ya See,what that Crazy life does to me!Yeah!Ha!
I'm so proud of my Midwestern brothers! Saw them many times in the mid-70s during my college days in Michigan. I graduated from college in 1979; Cheap Trick graduated to the stratosphere that same year. Will always love you guys! You're the best American band ever! xxooxx
Always loved this song. Sounds like The Beatles on steroids. 0:57 reminds me of a John Lennon type vocal. Song should have been a bigger hit than it was.
Cheap trick, y'all made so many magical songs, we love your music always!!
My friend and I saw Robin Zander sitting alone at a restaurant in Studio City. We were too freaked out to ‘bother’ him. God I wish we would have! That man is a Rock God! Gorgeous and that voice! One of the best in Rock.
Looking so forward to seeing the boys in Sydney soon...love you Bernice xx
One intriguing thing about Cheap Trick.... Early 1980's...MTV allowed us to actually see our favorite bands live besides going to a concert. So here you have the drummer, Bun E.,who looked like he could be my dad(at the time), lead guitar Rick with his whacky clothes and a million guitars, Robin king of front men, and the bass player Peterson. What an eclectic group of guys who can bang out killer tunes, Thumbs up CT!!
OdyBeRidin The shame is that if you put together a band like this today and tried to break into the pop music scene, the A and R guys at the label would immediately demand that Rick and Bun be replaced because they are not marketable and would not sell posters and lunchboxes because they are not "good-looking". Then, they would make over Robin and run his voice through an auto-tuner. Then, they would force feed them "formula" pop songs for an extremely narrow demographic and dump them after their second album. God I miss these days.
+Bob Kidd yea basically the truth be cause in the industry today you have writers and owners of musicthey need somebody to sell why all songs sound same musicaly
+Damon Briggs they to old to sell them self and fit the pop image
+Damon Briggs to sell it
That ain't Petersson.
Gawd I love him all over again. Darcy & Robin sitting in a tree! mwah!
Right!!!😀 That's how I feel!!
I've loved cheap trick since the first time I heard them.
I'm with you! Same with me💗
I always felt like Cheap Trick was rock 'n roll's best kept secret
Finally they were inducted into the Rock ',n Roll Hall of Fame
I can't think of a more deserving
band. Actually, Cheap Trick has transcended the definition of a "band. " They're an institution!!!
Long live Cheap Trick
#Lifetime fan💗
"Lonely is a place, you don't know what it's like...... there's a hole in my heart....". Oh, the pain of knowing the future. Really praying hard for you folks. Godspeed to Cheap Trick and all artists and what they go through to protect us all, and above all, thank you!
Brings back many memories from the 80's I remember back in High School. Instead of hearing the school bell to tells us when class starts/ends. They played music from the Scorpions, Ratt, Cheap Tricks, etc for 5 minutes through out the halls. How cool was that !!!!!!. There will never be other era like the 1980's . For the younger generations that listen to our music. A million thanks. Now go and buy the music. Please anyone build me a time machine, so I can go back and yes it will be a one way trip.
Yup after 43 years still great.
Wish I could find a woman that loves this great music like I do
Lol... i think they have to be trained...seriously
Me too.
I became a fan of this band when I was only 4 years old, because of this song. It was the first song I heard of Cheap Trick, I think it's still such a beautiful song.
NinaFrancisca I was 10 it was Aug 16th 1977, night Elvis died, Cheap Trick opened for Kiss at SF Cow Palace I became an instant fan and have seen them many times over the years...food for my soul.
MrSpawnlord I think I found a video about a part of this moment, sounds amazing! This moment must have been overwhelming.
今時のイケメンなんてメじゃないくらいの美青年達ですね。😮
こんなに素敵な人ばかりのグループは見た事ない。
My mom was Robin Zander’s biggest fan. Because of her I love them 😍.
Robin Zander is a rock legend.
I still love this band, 40 years later! Robin is my lifetime crush :)
You and me both, Leandra!
I love you Robin just as much as when I first saw you 39 years ago when I was 14!!!!💗
There is just something so innocent and sexy about him.
one of the best rock n roll voices all time...so underrated...takes me back to my childhood...love it
OMG, the set has a poltergeist! That song is so full of Rock vocalist Impersonations! Rick had to be listening to Slade when he wrote that chorus, and Zander at @2:25 is recreating Lennon & McCartney, not to mention the Choru8s vocal SCREAMS Noddy Holder all thru it! THAT TRACK SHOULD HAVE BEEN A No. 1 BILLBOARD HIT FOR THEM; NOT #40??!..
Real rock'n'roll GEM and...nice tribute to the Beatles with the ooooooooooh (I saw Her Standing There)
The drummer has more swag than everyone that ever existed.
This is the Greatest Beatles Homage Ever !!!!!
Yeah but have you heard of ELO and Mr Blue Sky?
Many of you may roll your eyes at this but I will always be indebted to Joe Dirt for showing me this song
It had some absolute bangers on that film
I literally just finished the movie and here I am
@mattthomas3207 😅 me too I had to hear this after watching 👀 that masterpiece
It was literally the only and best song to end that movie. There was no better choice
🙄
Have always loved Cheap Trick. I used to have an 8 track of their album Heaven Tonight, my very first by them. I had a huge crush on Robin back then, too. Great memories!
What a beautiful song. And I never knew about it! Crazy..Thnx Joe Dirt for letting me in on this great music.
I’m nearly 21 and this song is so nostalgic to my childhood. Thank god for my family having good music taste
I've liked these dudes for sooo many years. This one has roots in Harrison's "As my guitar gently weeps"...i like the influence. I just miss Peterson..
very true about the song roots.
Cheap Trick is in my Top 15 Bands I LOVE! I have seen them more in concert than anyone else & they R well worth it.... but miss drummer Bun-E Carlos. Missing you Bun-E
Weird that this wasn’t a huge chart hit. It’s tremendous.
Me and my wife got married too this song in the year of 2000 March 25 and we love this group Big Time and I'm 54 and my wife is 56 okay
I've seen more cheap trick concerts than any other band, in the80's it seemed like they played every outdoor venue in south Florida. They always put on a great show.
Awesome song. Brings back so many memories.
Lennon would approve.
Oh hell yeah!!!!! Saaaavvvvyy baby! Cheers to all my fellow CHEAP TRICK fans out in the interweb
❤️❤️
I like that: Saaaaavvvvvy baby!
😀
@@classnsass2740 😁😁😁😁
I’m a teenager right now and man, you guys were lucky. There is nothing like the stories some of y’all are telling in the comments. I’d give anything to have something like that. Much love friends❤
I saw Cheap Trick on this tour. Considering where I lived in West Texas, Cheap Trick always performed there on tour, as they always drew such great crowds. And they always put on such great shows. Being a young but professional musician, through channels, hung out with them and their opening act, L.A. Guns, at their hotel bar after the show. Doing chemicals and things I shouldn't have been, but hell...it was the EIGHTIES! Just talking guitars with Rick Nielsen made it all worth it. Still cherish their music to this day, and will until the day I die.
I was born in "72 but I LOVE these guys! Something about hearing them as I was growing up just touches the soul.I heard them with their new music in the late 80's with "The Flame" and stuff but nothing compares to this here.This is just freakin rockin,chillin music!
I've always got a Beatles vibe from this song.....what a fantastic tune. This video makes me feel good even in this crazy world.
Yep
Yep and the verses have an ELO vibe. Lots of their deep tracks have a Beatles sound in them ,just love it
Thats exactly what I was thinking. Very Beatles influenced, which makes it a great song.
Listen to "While my guitar Gently Weeps" by the Beatles.
Yeah, I think it's the organ...I'm hearing a little of the 'I am the Walrus' when it plays
I'm crazy about this beautiful track! It's so amazing. Sending love to all who read this♥️
Denise 1982 smash hit
I want to go back to 1982
ted ritola yes, love Cheap Trick along with The Cars another epic band !
❤️❤️❤️
Probably my all time favorite song. When I first saw it on MTV, I was utterly bewitched. I'd spend hours listening to Cheap Trick on vinyl with headphones on and the volume WAY up. I'd stare at Robin on the album cover and lose myself in the music.
My youth would not have been the same without Cheap Trick bringing me so much joy with their phenomenal music!
I used to watch MTV nonstop waiting for them to play,
"If You Want My Love," again and again and again
I love you Robin💗
Great Beatlelike melodies.
While my guitar gently weeps...
The lead vocals are amazing!
the opening lazy guitar grabs you and then it's full throttle ... brilliant track
One of Cheap Tricks' Best Tunes. Thanks for this oldie upload.
The line starting “lonely is only a place...” is SO Beatlesque.
It echoes "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"
This is my first time hearing this track. (Don't think they were as huge in the UK) It's epic... also has elements of the Beatles and ELO in it too, in my humble opinion. :)
Wonder where the nov20five is in this song 👊
最高！
産まれてきてよかった！！！
I'm forever thankful to MTV for exposing me to a group like Cheap Trick. Growing up in Los Angeles it was literally RnB 24/7, then we moved to the Bay Area, and not knowing any of the radio stations I would listen to what my friends (Or the stoners at the park) listened to and discovered Cheap Trick. Everyone knew The Dream Police, I Want You To Want Me, and The Flame, but this song just woke me up and made me pay attention. Robin had a very unique and distinctive voice, the pitch and change in the course were brilliant, something a lot of singers would not be able to pull off. I would stay up all night waiting for MTV to play this video, more so because the damn radio stations in California weren't playing it...fucking disgrace. I had a radio DJ from KOME tell me it wasn't a national hit so they weren't playing it yet...
너무 멋진 곡.
이 노래로 cheap Trick과 더욱 사랑에 빠졌다.
뻔하지 않아서 늘 신선한 음악.
Robin의 목소리는 더욱 독보적이고..
