Wonderful love song and talented musicians, great voices! Thank goodness my two grown children love and appreciate decades of talent before they were born.

Back in the days when music came from the heart and touched all our hearts and souls with incredible meaning .. helped us all bond and make so many amazing memories in our lives..
This song has always reminded me of one of the two American dorm roommates when I entered college in the Fall of 1976. My memories are quite vivid of her singing and dancing and snapping her fingers any time she heard this song on her AM clock radio. I had never seen anyone so happy before. It took 46 years before we reconnected. I hope to see her again in person soon.
I love when the algorithms suggest a video of a song that I don't recognize by artist or song title, but then I immediately recognize it. It's a real gift. ❤
It was my girlfriends birthday and I requested this song on the radio for her and I phoned her to tell her to listen to the radio station for her song : She called me up later ( crying of course ) saying that was the best birthday gift ever !
Always special to me, 1976 my first love would sing this to me. When all else in my life gets cold and hard I will always have this memory to warm me ❤️
My daddy was a DJ. He worked in every radio station in our town. He first DJ’d only for country music when I was 3 years old. I got subjected to lots of music. I feel a little blessed for it. This is one song I will always love.
We are all revealing our age...but music was definitely better back then...time marches on regardless...so glad we were able to experience so many great artists and music 😁💜😁
I was a student at ECU in Greenville NC and they were the only thing that us " beautiful, hot and sexy " women on campus were listening to in all the dorms. We were just in love with every song they ever played!! How could we not have been!!??? Such a good band with great vocals and such smooth guitar sounds.!! So happy to find this now!
I remember back in the day this was played non stop on the jukebox. I was in Grade 11. Also "If you Leave Me Now" by Chicago. Circa 1976. Still sounds great in 2020. From Ontario Canada. 🌈🦋🇨🇦
Kim you and I are the same age and yes oh the memories when I hear this song and Chicago too!!! Takes me back to a certain home……age…..people…..school….it makes me so happy.
This band was awesome. I was a very young boy in the 70's and I really was attuned to music. After all these years, this band still gives me goosebumps.
Great High School memories the 70 's... but you never lose those they stay with you always .... still listen to Firefall today.... they do not make them like these guys anymore...great stuff...thanks for posting....
When I was a kid in the '70s, this evoked incredibly strong feelings in me. As a much older person, even though it's not really my favorite genre of music, it sounds like perfection. Incredible melody and overall sound.
This is cool. I just saw them 2 nights ago and Jock still has Sandy in the band and Chuck (lead singer here) came up for the encore. So very very cool!!
FIREFALL is one of my Favorite bands ever. " Mexico ", " Cinderella ", on and on. Seeing them Live in Omaha, Nebraska at The Orphium in the 1980's is a memory I'll never forget. 🙂👍🎵 How I got to be there is a Story in itself. Ha
I’m in a Forever Fit class where the instructor often plays pop songs from past decades. When this song came on yesterday, everyone spontaneously started singing it, and knew all the words. Apparently we all still love it after all these years. No one can resist: (bop bop bop) “Whoa!”
You go Bob! I don't know what has happened to me, I used be a hard ass, but your music just turns me into a sobbing, nostalgic mess. I like it. Thanks again, Firefall, God bless you and the boys!
My favorite video of this song!! Love !! Love this video!! Love!! Love the song!!!🌈🌈💜💙💙 Thank you for sharing- very special song to me- much appreciation !!! Love this song!!!
I got to know Rick Roberts when I was a taxi driver in Boulder, CO in the 90s. Basically runs to the nearby liquor store and such. Seemed to me that he had fallen on hard times but he was the sweetest guy to me. I got him to sing this in the back seat of the Crown Vic. Really nice guy.
Firefall the greatest one of the greatest rock groups ever this song takes me back in time this song is a up-tempo love ballad it is a it is a love song but it's a different rhythm it's not it's not a slow rhythm love song it's it's up tempo and this the song is beautiful the lyrics of this song are telling you that this dude fell in love with this woman kind of like loving the first sight you know the music that is out today a lot of the music today is fake it's not even real but firefall is real and the rhythm is in this song is it is awesome rock on firefall 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵👍
I just love the song. I do not like someone mocking me about my opinions and feelings about how I feel about the song. I am sorry if you are the one that posted it. It has very special meaning to me and is a time that was very good. @@johnsmith-wc8gs
Firefalls original drummer was Michael Clarke-the original members were Rick Roberts,Larry Burnett,Jock Bartley,Mark Andes,,Michael Clarke,and David Muse they had many lineups over the later years and had some other very prominent members-Tris Imboden,George Hawkins and Kim Stone.Firefall is easily the most underrated band in American music history-their first four albums are excellent and "Clouds Across the Sun"is an excellent song about Firefall- very nice lyrics on that song
Do you know if these guys played high School gigs in the late 70's early 80's ? I remember seeing a band called Firefall. Their keyboard player was working his butt off going between all the keyboards he had.
I absolutely loved this song and “Cinderella” in high school. Great songs and great memories! Watched Firefall in the round at the Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix in 1979.
When music was real and people actually played it! How soon we forget! One of many great songs by Firefall! Ride on brothers ride on...! With love from a Colorado brother!
Thank you Firefall for the amazing music you produce. Takes me back to my youth (which is a LONG way). Wish we had more sounds like yours in today's music world.
Love this, unlike modern times, real music thats actually enjoyable and light. Great voices, that sound twice as good live. Music today has absolutely nothing on the 70's. No wonder we're listening to this instead of the radio!
It's all manufactured now - mostly on machines. :( Plus over-dynamically-compressed and otherwise waaay over-produced. Compared to this gem, something by Train or Imagine Dragons could pass for a dial tone or someone vacuuming down the hall!
@@Zickcermacity Yearning for a fleeting glimpse of a bygone era that seems better than it really was through the rose-colored lenses of nostalgia is fine, but pop music is the popular music because it speaks to people - even today. I submit that either pop music is no longer speaking to you, or you're not listening with an "open ear". Wonderful '70's am radio playlist, though...Peace!

In 1978 i won backstage passes and dinner with the band along with Firefall's album collection . The morning of the show the band broke up and all i ended up with was the albums . Oh well .😞
This song just had all the feels. It brings me back to when me and my friends were out of school for the summer.
I miss this band. Loved them.
"I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart" - one of the best lines in soft rock!
Yes written by a woman I'm sure
Wonderful love song and talented musicians, great voices! Thank goodness my two grown children love and appreciate decades of talent before they were born.
There is just nothing like the music from our youth! I’m so glad I grew up with all these great artists and songs.
Love it. No auto tone, no nothing, just pure talent. What an awesome, live sound.
Of course they use auto tune. Everyone does mainly in post production. They certainly need it too.
@@travis8665 They were using auto tune in this live performance? I mean, that's what I was referring to. Maybe re read what I wrote and try to comprehend it. : )
@@travis8665 There was NO autotune in this time period.
Of course there is autotune. All recordings use autotune although years ago they used to tune manually.
@@travis8665 There was no use of autotune during this live performance.
I was the bass player / vocalist in this video....this was shot in Nashville in 1986
bobgaffneymusic was your underwear showin ? One of my favorite bands.
bobgaffneymusic reminds me of Stephen stills for some reason
, what happened to the original lead singer from the seventies success going to his head or what
bobgaffneymusic you rock sir
Did you replace Mark Andes?
Back when you had to have talent and could make your own music.
Back in the days when music came from the heart and touched all our hearts and souls with incredible meaning .. helped us all bond and make so many amazing memories in our lives..
Joan Jett 8814 I totally agree with you girl that's what's wrong with the world today no one is touching anyone's heart anymore
When music was great music 😅
One of my favorite bands.
So simple yet so beautiful. Ahhhh ... the great bands and music from the 70s!
Love this song...never gets old. Love Firefalls sound ❤
I thought bands like this were stupid. Now I’m older and I love this music. Thanks, Firefall.
SAME! This way too wimpy for me back in the 70's..Now? at age 61, I LOVE this stuff!
Lol the same here
This song has always reminded me of one of the two American dorm roommates when I entered college in the Fall of 1976.

Beautiful music. I am so thankful I grew up with this quality music. ❤ Thank you Fire Fall
How are you? So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song
I am so glad that we were able to really hear that soulful sounds from such talented musicians. I still love this music the best!! ❤❤
I love when the algorithms suggest a video of a song that I don't recognize by artist or song title, but then I immediately recognize it. It's a real gift. ❤
It was my girlfriends birthday and I requested this song on the radio for her and I phoned her to tell her to listen to the radio station for her song : She called me up later ( crying of course ) saying that was the best birthday gift ever !
You mean back then, right? I'm just thinking are there any radio stations left today that do requests like that. I guess there are a few
YES, YES, YES, YES ❤ I REMEMBER THIS SONG, HOW BEAUTIFUL, ♥️🙏❤️🙏♥️
This song sends me back to the 70's instantly
Such a cool song. It’s aged well and still sounds fresh.
Love this band for nearly 50 years!
Saw these boys in Stevens point wi in 79 with heartsfield what a tight show insane musicians in both bands
One of the great songs of the '70s. It was "our song" for my high school girlfriend and me. It's still part of our playlist!
Always special to me, 1976 my first love would sing this to me. When all else in my life gets cold and hard I will always have this memory to warm me ❤️

I saw Fireball back in the late 80's. They were playing along with Eddie Money, Heart, and Huey Lewis and the News opened.
I was a student at ECU in Greenville NC and they were the only thing that us " beautiful, hot and sexy " women on campus were listening to in all the dorms. We were just in love with every song they ever played!! How could we not have been!!??? Such a good band with great vocals and such smooth guitar sounds.!! So happy to find this now!
Still love this song. Have your greatest hits cd. And still listen to it in my car!

Wow, an actual live performance! No lip synching here! Well done!!
My favorite song of all time💯❤️ grateful to have been part of the greatest music genre
Loved this band growing up and still do! ❤
This band was awesome. I was a very young boy in the 70's and I really was attuned to music. After all these years, this band still gives me goosebumps.
And what else does it give you?
@@cliffdweller joy to know that i lived through some great music.
Music never gets old, only we do. Great group, play well together.
I've always Loved this song 💖🌺🕊👏🏾🏆🌞🌟🎼🎤🇺🇸
As I get older, this music takes me back and I feel young again.

This song and Strange Way two great songs from the 7p's
70's
A simple, lively, love song when songs were written with heart and soul. A perfectly beautiful performance by Firefall.
Luv this luv these guys my favorite of theirs 😅❤
Just great music .... Bring back those days

I remember that Concert was actually in the later '70's. Oops. LOL 😆
Just beautiful.
When I met my wife that was the last I saw of my heart....what a beautiful wonderful song!!!

Super! Top Quality Music! Real professionals! Makes me very happy! I was 16 in 1986! Acoustic guitar player (Chuck Kirkpatrick) looks like Bill Bixby!
One of those awesome nostalgic songs that take you back.
Groups like Firefall, Little River Band are awesome .
You go Bob! I don't know what has happened to me, I used be a hard ass, but your music just turns me into a sobbing, nostalgic mess. I like it. Thanks again, Firefall, God bless you and the boys!
My favorite video of this song!! Love !! Love this video!! Love!! Love the song!!!🌈🌈💜💙💙
Thank you for sharing- very special song to me- much appreciation !!! Love this song!!!
Sweet mix. Been over 40 yrs since I was a teenager , when this came out.

One of my favorite songs. Reminds me of when I was in THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE.
Love this song even if I can't go back to that time and stay .I was there for a moment .😁
I can listen to this song all day long! Love love LOVE it!!!!

One of the greatest songs ever sang , written or performed. Love this group..
@F MAC YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ IT.. THANKS
@F MAC WANT SOME HANKIES?
@F MAC YOU APPARENTLY ARE JUST SOMEONE THAT LIKES TO GO THROUGH REMARKS AND JUST CAUSE PROBLEMS. NO ONE ASKED YOU TO READ SO LEAVE IT ALONE.
This song is very divisive apparently. Who knew?

Pretty song.Reminds when I was a little boy.Everything was so peaceful and fun.
Love love me some Firefall
Back when music was music. Miss those days.
Sammy Hagar said it best . The groups then were judged by live performances , if you couldn't cut it - gone .
For sure !! I miss that.
Music today is RUBBISH 2019
And thats why I like it. :-)
good music is missed, real artists, authentic people, that is missed ...
Awesome job.thankyou. Bob gaffney .for you and your group.love this song and others.you all are a class act.well done.bravo.indeed.....
