Hard Habit to Break - Chicago (keyboard cover)

  • In late summer/early fall 1984, this song was hitting its stride in popularity. It was also my introduction to Bill Champlin's soulful voice - paired with the distinctive voice of Peter Cetera: an inconceivably powerful combination. Unfortunately, Bill Champlin was not nominated for his perfect, incomparable wails toward the end of the song, though the song was nominated for Best Vocal Arrangement for Two or More Voices among four total Grammy nominations (deservedly so for all, no doubt!). As producer, David Foster did a wonderful job arranging and pushing for this hit single, not to mention the entirety of the album Chicago 17, their most successful album.
    I can't say enough good things about this song. It always takes me back and is probably my favorite ballad of all time.

    I do not own rights to this composition.

    I've been a fan of Chicago for about 40 years.
    I also play the piano, and it has a very beautiful tone, which is wonderful! Thank you for uploading!

    That was perfect. Must have been hard to play this without mistakes. Really great!

      As a 40-year keyboardist, I can tell that Robby spent mucho many hours getting it that tight. Bravo.

    I never even considered how complicated the song was until I watched this.

      Totally - it's up there with "I'm Never Gonna Let You Go" with the million modulations.

    • @michaelgaeta5939
      @michaelgaeta5939 2 года назад

      Let You Go i think has 23 modulations. I counted seven in this song, though its a bit subjective.

    Always great to recall those long gone hits of Chicago. Your keyboard work followed it note for note: many thanks.

      I don’t know the level of financial reward from RUclips for tracks like this but surely there is a commercial opportunity for such talent as you possess.

      Thank you for your comments. I don't receive any compensation for these videos (nor should I), but I am happy for the original artists/producers/writers that receive recognition. I think these songs implement important fundamentals and they are easy on the ears, so I post them mainly with the intent to educate and entertain. Best wishes!

    Absolutely GORGEOUS to the point of STUNNING! David Foster would be PROUD!!! I hope he hears this if he hasn't already! What a masterpiece of a composition, and what a masterful performance and rendition! *tips hat*

    So, update. Learned your cover. Played it at least a thousand times along with the recording or music video. I'm lame, I know, but it's the most fun I've had playing keyboards. Thank you.

    I guess I thought you'd be here forever
    Another illusion I chose to create
    You don't know what you got until it's gone
    And I found out a little too late
    I was acting as if you were lucky to have me
    Doin' you a favor, I hardly knew you were there
    But then you were gone, and it all was wrong
    Had no idea how much I cared
    Now being without you takes a lot of getting used to
    Should learn to live with it but I don't want to
    Being without you is all a big mistake
    Instead of getting easier, it's the hardest thing to take
    I'm addicted to you babe, you're a hard habit to break
    You found someone else you had every reason
    You know I can't blame you for runnin' to him
    Two people together but livin' alone
    I was spreading my love too thin
    After all of these years I'm still tryin' to shake it
    Doin' much better, they say that it just takes time
    But deep in the night, it's an endless fight
    I can't get you out of my mind
    Now being without you takes a lot of getting used to
    Should learn to live with it but I don't want to
    Being without you is all a big mistake
    Instead of getting any easier, it's the hardest thing to take
    I'm addicted to you babe, you're a hard habit to break
    Can't go on, just can't go on, on
    Can't go on, just can't go on, on
    Now being without you takes a lot of getting used to
    Should learn to live with it but I don't want to
    Being without you is all a big mistake
    Instead of getting any easier, it's the hardest thing to take
    I'm addicted to you
    You're a hard habit to break (you're a hard habit to break) (just can't go on)
    Such a hard habit to break (such a hard habit to break) (just can't go on)
    I'm addicted to you
    You're a hard habit to break (you're a hard habit to break) (just can't go on)
    Such a hard habit to break (such a hard habit to break) (just can't go on)
    I'm addicted to you baby
