My wife and I were staying with a friend and his wife in Aspen, CO, when this song came on, and stuck with me ever since. My wife's gone, the friends are gone, but this song, brings them back, and that beautiful weekend in Aspen.
R. Organizer Yes the same here and it's definitely such the most beautiful song i've ever heard. Great memories.
R. Organizer I’m glad it brought you back to a Happy Place Sir:))
Yep. Memories. Good times. Laughter. Smiles. Makes up for the sad endings. Enjoy the good memories😃
What s lovely song and a lovely memory to get you through the lonely times.
R. Organizer , I’m very sorry for your loss. God’s peace be with you. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I am at age 68. Love this song. Takes me back to a beautiful time ❤️
the super sevntieswill go into the books as the greatest m of all time with not even an anney
Absolutely ❤
Right here. A kid again hearing this
I'm with ya👍
Damn ! How the world has changed from when this song was first played over the radio. Sad how far we strayed. Brings a tear to my eye.
A tear indeed., for it is a crying shame.
Memories are treasures
I cry everytime...just a beautiful song....
I've seem MMM in concert 5 times. My darling husband has been gone 15 years tomorrow. When I listen to this song, I picture my horse riding, country music loving husband coming for me on his magic horse, Outlaw. I still have lots of living to do but when it's my turn, my husband will come on his horse to get me. ❤
just beautiful
Yes ... he will. 💕
Yes he will 🥰🙏🏼
He's with you every day. Keep him in your heart. We all see each other again. After I watched NDE on RUclips, I felt so much better. It's where people have had near death experiences and what they saw on the other side for those brief moments. They are beautiful!!! It changed the way I feel about losing people and pets in my life. I'm no longer sad. I Highly recommend watching those on RUclips. It will change your whole perspective 😊
I was in a serious accident in Minneapolis in April of 2014. In my Semi. A woman cut me off in traffic. She had 8 children in her vehicle and I swerved real hard to avoid hitting her because I was concerned about the children. I had a Traumatic Brain Injury and I was in a coma for 7weeks. I walked with my Lord and Savior Jesus. I. Thought I had passed away from the Accident. But Jesus said that I had more to do here with my family. I've become more confident that it was a real experience
My wife loved this song. She passed away in December 2020. I had this played at her funeral. Simply beautiful!
I'm sorry for your loss! You certainly paid a beautiful tribute!
Sorry for your loss of your dear wife. She is always with you Tim. Our Love is taken with us. She is your Guardian Angel in Heaven through GOD 🙏 ❤️
Im so sorry for your loss, I pray this song brings you comfort
As A horse owner and lover it will be played at mine also. I’m sorry for your loss, she was oh so special. 😊
So sorry for your loss
My late husband and I attended a Seals & Crofts concert at the Dome outside Rochester, New York, many years ago, thanks to our friend Curt, who was the father-in-law of one of Seals & Crofts' roadies. Michael Murphey performed "Wildfire" that night at the concert. I think it was soon after the song was released. We met Michael and his wife before the show. Of course we were thrilled when we realized it was his song we had been hearing on the radio. We met Jimmy Seals and Dash Crofts after the show. What a wonderful evening and memory for a small-town couple! We were married for 60 years and still mentioned that evening throughout our time together.
Breath taking memories, I must say.
As a teenager I wanted to download this song but was not available in New Zealand - I left a message Michael Murphys website asking how I could purchase it - instead I got a personal email and a file of the song from Michael! One of the most influential songs for me
Such a hauntingly beautiful song !! I was a young woman when I first heard this song. I'm 75 now and it still moves me....❣❣❣❣ 🐎 🐎
Love this song! One of the best ever written, and recorded! Especially the music!
Janis; me too!
Back in the 70's I worked at a stable in Southern Wisconsin and remember this song playing on a small hand held radio in the barn and fell in love with it ever since. We named one of the new colts Wildfire after this song. Many fond memories of a beautiful and simple time.
Hello Laura 👋👋👋
Can't deny the beauty of the song and how it was so deeply felt by each person.
I fell in love listening to that song. And rode off on my horse " Sundance" through a Wheatfield in Indiana .
Great memory.
A week before my Dad passed away, he told me this Song always reminded him of My Mother. I cannot listen to it without crying.
One of my fav songs ever. am 70 now and the beauty can still bring a tear.
I was a senior in high school when this song hit the airwaves. Back then, it was just another tune written by another country singer. I'm now 66 years of age. I've been listening to this fabulous page out of my past and am amazed at just how quickly it conjures up so many different yet poignant memories each and every time I hear it. It's almost as though I'm staring at a reflection in in a hazy window but can never pin down whether or not I'm on the outside looking in or vice versa. Loves that have been lost, loves that have been won and some that never even had a chance. I will always drift back to my youth whenever this songs graces my sense of hearing and I will always be grateful for the peace and tranquility that it provides. Thank You M.M.M for this precious gift!
Really great song. Who is still enjoying this in 2020and 2021
right here . that piano oh my.
Yeah, I miss the 70s
Meeeee!!!!!
Yep!!!
I'm still enjoying Michael Martin Murphey's "Wildfire" in 2020 in answer to your question. I love his voice and can't nobody sing Wildfire like Michael...nobody! I hope his song never dies...maybe his son Ryan will learn it and carry on the tradition.
This is by far the best version of this wonderful, beautiful song. The extended piano and Murphey's guitar totally drives home its loveliness. Murphey's intro illustrates how special the song has been to him for all of these years. Just pure musical magic here, about a magic horse.
This is one of those songs that just stays with you, always.
Makes you forget all the hate in the world if just for a little bit. Awesome!
Please folks, let's just take a minute and revel in the beauty of the piano introduction to this timeless classic. From opening note to final stanza, this is a superb and thought provoking string of musical notes all assembled with incredible care and emotion. Thank you MMM and DH for what has become one of the most prolific stories I have ever experienced.
Beautifully said !
Too fvckn long an intro.
My sentiments exactly
Referring to Michael hart
My deceased wife loved horses, and she loved this song. We played it at her funeral. This is such a great version. Thanks MMM and company for such great work!
I’m sorry for your loss. I lost my wife in 2020 and played this song a lot. Keep strong brother.
I’m so very sorry for both of you, may your best memories of your wives lift you both up ❤.
I love horses also~ my spirit animals…
I remember when my son left home to attend college , I listened this song on the radio and cried like a man so sad but so beautiful at the same time , this song is very special to me and for many people as well, I’m pretty sure ,right?
Im 68 in June 2024, and it sounds as good today as it did back in the day. Classic masterpiece ❤️
Me too ,lm 68 and it does sounds good.
True be that .
What a melody! The first 90 seconds of piano and the the song takes off…so good. This song is a mood, a genre of it’s own.
Alit do not encompass the beauty of the intro As a musician I think it's superior!
This song has "moved" my heart and soul more than words can explain for such a long time. It is just beautiful & majestical. I have named my sailboat "Wildfire" and someday, when I get my own Palomino, like Michael Martin Murphy did, I will name her "Wildfire". I really love this song with all my heart, so much, it makes me cry...not for being sad or happy, just the passion it evokes in my soul.
I know what u mean....I get chills listening to this....
People who give this song a thumbs down 👎 don't know great music.
Agreed
SIGH! No bands and No artists make music like this anymore. How lucky are we that we have this to remember when music touched our minds, heart and soul!
Yes! And this song always makes me crey. I hear it once ina while on sirius radio.
I'm 65 yrs old now. I use to wish I was wildfire. It touches my heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Listening in 2021 the same girl at heart as the girl in the 70ies, anyone else?
Grad of 1972. Beautiful
great song angie
Hello Angie how are you doing?
Music has to breathe, it has to have soul, and it has to speak to you. Something that music had back then that today's music dose not. Those of us who lived back then understand that. This why this song still lives on and is still popular today.
Yes, so true!!!!
It’s gonna take a lot of love by, Nicolette Larson

So beautiful
Just working through a broken relationship and bought a green broke Appaloosa Stud. Worked through my sadness breaking and training him. Met my husband of 46 years one day when I was out riding one day. That horse’s name, Wildfire.
There's someone for everyone, if you're open to love and give it a chance.
Back when musicians told great stories , it's a lost art...
Amen!
The pianist is absolutely on fire! Amazing!
Lost my wife of 52 years almost 4 years ago and her birthday is a few days off. The pain never stops. She rode in horse shows when she was young and I still picture as a young girl riding. This song lives in my heart. I loved her so much that for one day with her I would give anything.....
My heart aches for yours. Life goes on and you must too. My Navy ship's motto was, "Press on Regardless!" Great words that I have tried to live by. Enjoy your life.
That is so sad .. 52 years .. I could not imagine that ... life can be so hard .. but you are on my prayer list brother ..
I am so sorry for your loss.
❤❤❤
So beautiful!! I am so sorry for your loss!! My husband and I have been married for 40yrs. Can't imagine losing him 💔. I am spiritual 🙏 and I believe she is still with you always ❤ We lost our oldest daughter 😢 December 23 2017 I am amazed we survived her death
May 20, 2024, this is one of my all time favorite songs and I'm 70 yrs old. Love the piano , but also the guitar. 🎶🎶🎶❤
Thanks mom and dad(R.I.P.) for showing me good music since my early childhood.
This is mine and my dads song hes locked up for b.s reasons but the day he comes home we are having some beer's and listening to this song
I love how the whole band turns and watches the pianist at the beginning of the song. Total respect for this guys talents.
Michael lived up by us in the mountains was a good friend when I was 15 I lost my leg in an automobile accident and Michael did a benefit concert for me I thank him so much he made me feel human again and I still have the autographed album from him bless you Michael Murphy and I hope your son Shawn is doing well God bless you Michael
U were blessed
We are so blessed to have grown up with music like this
It soothed our souls
Still does
Brings you back to a time when lyrics and music were Really Good !
A high school girlfriend had a few horses, I made a tape and played this song for her. We both held each other close, and enjoyed this wonderful song. Those are some great memories. Thank you Pam. I still love you hon.
There are some songs that just pull you back in time and this is one of them. No matter where I am when I hear this song I'm back in my youth again wishing I could stay there. We had the greatest musical era of all time and we got to live in it. ❤
I waited on Michael at a health food store in COlorado. He had just played a concert for aid to a wildfire in CO and I asked him if he played Wildfire. OF COURSE❤️🥰💪💃♥️Thanks Michael♥️
I’m from Colorado, can only hope to see him in concert someday.
Very good
Back in the 70’s I worked in a little downtown beer & wine bar frequented by a great variety of folks. We had one regular customer come in as soon as we opened up every day - an old guy ravaged by time and alcohol who had given in to his addiction long ago. He used to sit by himself at a little table near the jukebox every day, order a beer, and play this song over and over, singing along with it at top volume with all his heart. He never bothered anybody, and after a few beers he’d get up and walk out. I can never hear this song without thinking of this old man. He sure did love that magic horse.
What a beautiful story. Amazing!!!!
That is the essence of a song in itself.
True talent and passion...great musician...and story teller...cant be topped.
What a wonderful testament to that old man !! Very cool memory for you to behold
I had the rare privilege and honor to serve him dinner after his concert late 1 night, here in Reno/Sparks. He is down to earth despite his f ame and fortune.......
Thankful for my folks to show me this one. Its my favorite song now, and my music taste is only getting better with age. Im only 24...
If only my friends could appreciate it like I do
Sounds like my son....it is rare & special.As well as a gift that keeps on giving! Keep on keepin on, young fellow. You guys hold the torch ❤✌
My daughter said it was before her time. We ended up in an argument about some of her favorite artists and their songs being before her time and possibly mine. No respect for my trying. I believe it's deeper than music. She loses here, but she thinks she won.
@@user-lu2mz9xt7z don’t worry, I go through the same arguments with whoever I’m dating. Some appreciate what I show them, some see this as just a horse song. Can’t reach them all 🤷♂️
Im a 70s kid, and i remember hearing this as a kid. It brings back good memories. Sad the kids today have no idea what real music is. A very beautiful and peaceful song. Love it!😢
When I was a kid I loved this song so much. I would sit in the floor and just daydream about what was happening in the song. ❤ To this day it touches me.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written.
🌈💞There couldn’t have been a better performer to sing it!
ABSOLUTEY !! ❤️
Puts me to bed
shes comin forme i know theres a hoot owl out side my window no6nitws in a row
Hands, down!
remember when songs had powerful lyrics that were well written and you could actually sing to them? Man, I miss these days.
My God that piano intro is from some celestial place! Gives me chills every time I play this. Michael chose the perfect player to play that intro for a live setting. Fantastic musicians on that stage. Long before protools and auto tune. When musicians rehearsed until it was perfect and didn’t depend on technology to make it better. People were playing complex music to perfection for over 500 years before the technology. I wish they would go back to recording old school live in the studio with very few overdubs. The music used to have a heartbeat and swing. Todays music sounds like a machine droning that has no way to give you chills of joy. Chills of pain is about it. Thank goodness there are a few bands that still make it old school.
Born in 65. Heard this on my Snoopy transistor radio. 57 now. WOW!!!
Just about brings tears to the eyes, it's so perfect........ that piano at beginning and end........
It IS magical isn't it? I can think of no other song that envelopes me in such melancholy and yearning as does this one. In my mind, Wildfire is a once in a lifetime song.
That intro and outro is something else! Totally agree with pure talent verses technology.
God, how I love this song. The music and lyrics are sad, but uplifting. I cry every time I hear it. My sister asked me to listen to this song so long ago and now she is no longer with us, she passed this April, 2024, and it means so much more to me now as does she. Thank you Michael!
I COULD LISTEN TO THIS EVERYDAY AND NEVER GROW WEARY OF IT. BEAUTIFUL. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I went to a Michael Murphy concert at Red Rocks Amphitheater outside Denver in 1976 or 1977. The lights were turned down when they began to play this song. I'll never forget that opening piano, under the stars on a beautiful Colorado summer night.
nice..
My first date with my wife (of now 32 years) was at a Def Leppard concert at Red Rocks. Awesome amphitheater for sure!
Red Rocks is a unique Amphitheater. The Shape of it was designed for music, and its a wonderful experience if you ever are in that area to attend a show.
Wow how 😎
My daughter n law while battleing brain cancer sat here singing it with passion well she lost here fight and i just picked it up😢😢
God bless
This live version of "Wildfire" is absolute perfection from beginning to end.
Nothing that I or anyone else could say can add or detract from it's Timeless beauty.
One thing that cannot be denied, the 70's singers relied on actual voice. He sound just as good live as he does recorded. No auto-tunes back then! Good job!
More importantly, music from 70's-80's have stories and meaning. Completely different from the trashy music today.
Here I am on 7/15/21 and this song just popped into my head, out of nowhere. I just started singing it. Then I googled it and found this. Life is pretty cool sometimes.
This song reminds me of my sister. She loved horses. She was killed by a drunk driver a few years ago. She was such a beautiful person.
I'm sad to hear this. Peace to you and my her soul ride free.
So very sorry for your loss god bless you😮😢
I just met him today when he stopped and ate at the restaurant I work at. SUCH a nice, down to earth guy!! He signed a couple autographs for me, personalized with names. Thank you!!!
Michael achieved a sound not found in today’s popular music-enchanting and soulful
yes...ethereal music that resides in wild grasses in the alpine..and heard in bright meltwater rivulets that cascade near camp while Whiskey Jacks come near with their dark eyes.
Correct. The 70,s brought forth such music wish it would surround us today what's wrong w people
Agreed
Beautifully captured on paper too Ana!
Anna
Reminder of being a kid in the 70's....no care or idea where I was going in this world
Hard to imagine the world without this song. With all the craziness and violence going on in 2024, this is a reminder that humans aren’t all bad. The best of us is beautiful.
Great song ..best of all her husband a greT mam.with heart felt wishes f or hi. Who has lost..
Real music came in the 60's and 70's best ever. Glad i lived them. Never any regrets lived life to the fullest.
Me too
I can't remember the year, the early 2000s maybe, Farmington, NM, when my wife Susie and I were invited to Mr. Tommy Bolack's birthday party at the B Square Ranch. Tommy Bolack and Michael Martin Murphy were friends, both talented musicians, and Susie and I watched him sing this ballad on Tommy's back porch. Murphy was the guest artist, and she and I had never been so thoroughly entertained. She's been gone a long time now, earned the pink ribbon, was the most beautiful woman there, in my opinion, that evening, and I just thought I'd tell the world that story. Maybe a hundred of us is all, and you would have loved to have been there.
I totally understand what you are saying. I’m sorry for your loss. This is truly a beautiful song. I saw him perform this in the Astrodome around ‘97 on horseback. Sounded wonderful then too.
This was the first Country song that I really fell for. I am black and back in those days your parents controlled the radio. Well we were on a road trip to Louisiana and dad told me to find some music. I was turning the dial and came on this song, it had just started and I was just hypnotized by it.
Well I learned that there was more than R&B music!
Oh sweetie this isn't country music by any means. It was called folk music or soft rock. But as a 1970's youth I'm really glad you enjoyed it. We had a lot of great black bands and also great bands with black & white people in them. We would go to the dance clubs and we all were together black & white. One of my favorite bands was called Hot Chocolate and one of my favorite songs of theirs was called Every1's A Winner. They had a lot of great songs and they were a black & white band. All of those guys were so handsome. Google them and try to find the Video of them singing that song. I promise you'll love it. 👍
@@debbiescott6732 It is listed as Country, Soft Rock,and adult contemporary. Their were many country artists that had many "crossover" country hits and this is one of them. If you're going to try to give knowledge to someone, atleast try to be right or atleast half right! MMM has several country hits also known as crossover country hits! Educate yourself next time!
@@vegaslimoguy2376 you're an Ahole. And for your information it was called soft rock back in the 1970's when we listened to it on the radio. So STFU.
Man we had the best music in history sure takes me back to such fond memories
I’m listening in April 2023…..such a beautiful and timeless song ❣️❣️
Hello how are you doing..?
I cry whenever I hear this song. This full length version is amazing. What a gift to the world.
Perhaps the most beautiful song ever written. A masterpiece, thanks Michael.
Perfect
Beautiful
are you related to bonnie reno sheses in wpb
@@kevanrice1496 no, sorry.
This live version is even better than the studio recording. Very nice...
dito
I remember when this song first came out. I was 9 or ten, I'm 60 now, have loved it all these years. So soothing.😢
I can recall selecting this song from a juke box on a wall of a Papa Gino's pizza in Massachusetts with my mom and two sisters and now I'm the last one with that amazing memory. You are missed ladies !
May God bless you friend. He gives our family as gifts.
May god also bless you. How moving brought tears to my eyes.
Best version of this song ever. Piano player was awesome and the guitar solo at the end was great 😃
Agree
Yep 😄
Michael Martin murphey did a live version of wild fire years back with piano and a guitar solo reminds me of that.
Yes
Agreed! It was amazing!
Can I ever lose myself in the opening and closing piano.........with this incredible song in the middle......Haunting.
Forever haunting.
one of the most beautiful songs in my lifetime...
One of the greatest songs ever once you hear it you never forget
Great music does not age! I still marvel at this song years later. The piano introduction is one of my favorite of all time,
acoustic guitar is awesome.
God I wish there was still bands like this. Soooo much talent in the 70's.
Amen
Me too, I moved to Colorado in 1975, was dealing with alot of shit. My mom had just died. I was 23. I've seriously never recovered from that. But this music is bomb.... 4 ever
1 million memories
I agree
I agree 1000 percent.
we had the best music If you're close to my age.Im 57.
I’m 54 and this is one of those incredible songs that bring it all back.
I was a young teenager when I first heard this song...and loved it. I was a city girl never thinking I would ever live on a farm. 40 years later and I'm living on a farm, my teenage daughter is riding a horse of her own and ...you guessed it -the horse's name is Wildfire!
I remember being so worried about the horse when I was a kid listening to this. I cried every time I heard it, but I loved it too.
It takes me down an emotional road. yeah its heart wrencher. listening right now and already welling up a little. It does take the mind off the worlds troubles for me and just reminds me so much of all the things we've lost (and personally too)
BACK WHEN MUSIC WAS REAL!!!
Massive respect to the pianist
The greatest music ever was made in the 60s and 70s❤️
I love that piano intro. What a virtuoso.
This song hits deep to the heart.
Beginning and end.......
Now this is music. I am so lucky I was in my teens in the 70s
Me too graduated in 75 Clark Air force base (DoD) - Wagner HS - republic of the Philippines
I’m so jealous that in music nowadays it’s not like this and other bands in 1960’s 1980’s and some of the 90’s
Amen
When ya hear a song like this, brand new for the first time in 75, you know it's going to transcend the ages! And the people of the future will listen and say.......we wished we lived then! It is a sublime song!
You can take your music that is recorded now and stick it where the sun doesn’t shine. This music is classic and can never be replaced . I grew up in the 70’s . What a fabulous decade . Makes me cry !!! 😢
I agree brother. This is one of my favorite songs. I'm 56 now and I tell ppl all the time 70s was the greatest decade. Miss the 70s. 80s weren't too bad either.
70s what a beautiful time. That was truly a peaceful era
It would be so nice if the world was still that way. Nothing can ever replace that time wouldn't that be great. We can just be greatful we did live through that time. And when we hear the music from those good ole days we can smile and relive it not only in our minds but in our hearts.
Wow 😮
Takes me right back to junior high. 💙 Love it now at 65.
Me 2
Before the world went crazy ……..beautiful
trump 2022!
Still in 2020, listening to this song gives me goose bumps
People still get goosebumps from Mozart and that schizzle is 300 years old. Great don't need a date!
So amazing I was just pondering deeply about music & boom here is the gift. Music feeds my soul with 🔥
One of the the best songs in history!
Yes it does ❤️
I cry because it's so beautiful
The piano in and the piano out is absolutely haunting after all these years........
The lyrics evoke my youth, somewhat wild, somewhat very alive, somewhat gone......
This song never fails to entertain.......and to take me back........to take me back..........
I can’t get enough of this beautiful song!! He’s on tour in 2023😘
Where? I wanna go!
I hope he is in Colorado
ON THE DAY I PICKED UP MY LITTLE GOLDEN RETRIEVER NAMED SADIE, AT THE AGE OF 3 MONTHS WILDFIRE CAME ON THE RADIO ON THE WAY HOME. THAT WAS OCTOBER 1975. MARCH 1989, AS I WAS TAKING MY SADIE GIRL TO HER RESTING PLACE THE SONG WILDFIRE CAME ON THE RADIO. I THINK SADIE WAS TELLING ME THAT SHE WAS OKAY AND THAT I WOULD BE OKAY.
yes, I think so to. It's a special song.
@lion fish THANKS I THINK SO
Only a true animal lover can understand what you just shared, it's very painful having to say goodbye to your pet your dog, who has been with you for a long time I have a half Maltese half Yorkie she's called a Malteyork
She's been with me since 2007 , I just love her and I know the love that we have for our little best friends.
It hurts when we have to say goodbye to them.
But wildfire I loved that song in the 70s I sang along to it all the time.
What a wonderful way to remember you're Sadie listening to this song.
God bless you
@jackson pine
It's a proven fact, that a person that cannot show signs of any empathy or compassion are indeed narcissistic sociopaths.
You my friend I say this in love seek help before you do something that you will regret.
Got Jesus?
Okay, you just made me cry.😪
I've been listening to this song for 30 years and it never gets old. ✌️ To all of those people that understand this classic , rock on .....
I'm one of them but we're a dying breed.
@@Flomariah Indeed we are, my friend.
I am and will always live, in my mind, in this amazing era of music...
Amen.
This song is Beautiful in every way!! Love Michael Martin Murphy!! The piano is so lovely and the guitar picking!! One of my all time favorites when growing up and going on trips with my family in the car!! Memories always cherished, miss you Mom, Dad and baby sis!! Prayers for All!! 🙏❤️🙏🥰
One of my all time favorites, such a beautiful song I always enjoy covering. One of the smoothest grooves ever.
Was on flight a few weeks ago and the captain came on the pa saying we have a famous flight crew with us. He introduced the wife of the piano player of Wildfire. The entire plane or at least those of who knew, applauded her. She had tears in her eyes. She was quite moved.
Great story! I love it and that sort of thing happens. I have my own brush with greatness about a month ago when I bought a dishwasher off a guy that used to be a roadie in Chicago and he dropped an amplifier on Jimmy pages foot broke his toe! But it was Jimmy’s fault so they fired him and then Jimmy said things straight and then became really good friends up to him buying this guy a house in Florida. And he has the photos to prove it all.
Sat for hours with my cassette recorder trying to write the lyrics down for this when i was about 10.. Some hard bits.
So that's what it was like? Very interesting
I don’t know why but this song has always touched my heart. It makes me cry. I listened to it in the 70-s. Now I am in my 78 th year. Great song!
I hear ya man, I’m just a 71 year old kid but this song always takes me back to 1975 and a girlfriend I had that had a horse named Domino. She loved that horse. He hated me, I took her away from him. Gonna see her next wknd at a barrel racing derby, she’s 65 and still doing it!!!
Hiya ,I've 62 years Elizabeth O'BRIAN and same here this song is in my heart as you say and Frank Reeves I can relate! Summer of 75/ 76 great times ,great Era , still Listening to Wildfire and each time enjoying the memories ♥️ and Wow Frank that's great to still have someone in your life from those years ! Have a good time 😊
I'm 66. I've loved this song from the beginning and will love it until the day I die. Now I need a tissue.
I met Michael when I was 18, 1978. I sat on the piano bench with as he sang snd played this song! So happy I was able to spend my Eighteen birthday with him in Crested Butte Colorado 💕
That’s so wonderful!
This song reminds me of the time losing my wife to a vehicle accident 40 years ago, this was one of our favorite songs. It brings back such bittersweet memories!
She is with you in another space. Love doesn’t die and disappear ever. Cherish those beautiful memories. You will meet again one day. God bless 💕🙏🏻
And now I am 85 years old and this song bring me comfort to my spirit
Out of nowhere I started singing this awesome song from my passed. I just had to hear it. It's been awhile. Great memories.
