Sterbans voice isn't just great, it is truly a phenomenon. At this stage in his life his voice was like the bass section of an orchestra. Unbelievable the depth and resonance. The group is a national treasure.
This is not a feel-good song. It's a therapy song. He is singing of someone who died. This beautiful ballad reaches down into the most painful places in you and massages them, and after you cry it all out of your system, you will feel better. Guaranteed.
Duane Allen told me last evening that this is not a love song . The music writer wrote this song day's after his own father passed away . It's a tribute to his father . He went on to say people can use it either way , Sadly , The song writer died of Leukemia at the age of 46 years old .
Yes they are ! The Oakridge Boy's are like family with mine . I've known them for over 50 years . Many years ago , my Late Father had Thanksgiving concerts . The Oaks were the most requested back then . Not only did we have T.G. dinner , would would go out into a close field and play touch football together with my extended family .
@@sandlot40Randy died in 2004 after a year long battle with leukemia. He was 48. He wrote this song about his dad who died in a car wreck when Randy was 12 years old.
IVE LOVED THE OAKS FROM THERE EARLY GOSPEL DAYS...WILLIE WYNN SANG TENOR BACK THEN. STILL FOLLOW THEM. THERE MUSIC HAS ALWAYS HAD A EFFECT ON ME.AND STILL DOES. SOME REALLY GREAT TIMES AND MEMORIES WITH MY OWN FAMILY GROUP... ....ALWAYS BE AN OAK!
This song could not be any more true for me. When my Mother passed I didnt make it in time to say my I Love, I Thank You I just never had the chance. It does hurt, but ya know as long as I am alive My Mother Will Never Die.
When I first heard this I was a young child who just loved the melody... After losing a special someone and 30 ish yrs later, I get it.... ✌️ God bless and trust when I say live each moment as they come...
I never paid a lot attention to this song until I lost my husband passed 6 years I got to say goodbye to him but he didn't know me.he had AZ but he will know me when we meet again🙏🙏🙏💞
I absolutely love this song. It brings back so many memories of times gone by and brings back thoughts of so many special people that have been a big part of my life.
We never said goodbye after 22 years, she just left. (no note, nothing,) Left me to figure it out and it's breaking my mind. Don't do that even if you really dislike the other person, it's been two years and I'm stilling wondering what I did that was so deserving of this misery...it won't go away.
I hope you're doing well since leaving this comment.. but I feel the need to tell you when a person leaves like that or "breaks up" with another person.. it's never ever anything you did wrong.. never.. it's about THEM and how they feel.. nothing you could say or do would make someone stay or go ..that person had to do what they needed to do for personal reasons.. it's always them.. not you! Bless you dear heart ❤️
Is there anything more spiritual, sad, happy, honest, real, heart warming, heart breaking, and beautiful, on earth than music from the heart and soul? I think not. Peace
I lost My Twin Bro 2 weeks b4 our 62nd B-Day in May! We Nvr Had That Last Shot and Beer Together! Oak Ridge Boys said it best! "IT Never Hurts To Hurt Sometimes " 😞
Lyrics Sometimes I feel a wave Of a past break in my mind And I know it's gone for good And it makes me want to cry Is this all we get to keep As the years go rollin' by Just a memory For all the days gone by Oh, you're always in my heart And you're often on my mind I will never let it die Just as long as I'm alive Sometimes it makes me sad That we never said goodbye Well I guess it never hurts To hurt sometimes You try and hold on to the moment But time won't let you stay But for every step you take You lose something on the way You can't look forward to tomorrow And still hold on to yesterday Oh, I hope that you can hear When I'm saying Oh, you're always in my heart And you're often on my mind I will never let it die Just as long as I'm alive Sometimes it makes me sad That we never said goodbye Well I guess it never hurts To hurt sometimes Oh, you're always in my heart And you're often on my mind I will never let it die Just as long as I'm alive Sometimes it makes me sad That we never said goodbye Well I guess it never hurts To hurt sometimes Oh, I guess it never hurts To hurt sometimes Songwriters: Randall Edwin Van Warmer / Randy Van Warmer
yes yes, often said the phrase and stature they obtained wERE never to the degree of just absolute. They outdo any group ever ,joe being the best tenor ever then add that bass that come from when he performed with ELVIS of JD AND THE STAMPS. GREATNESS IN OUR TIME.
This live version is so much better than studio version more punch and grit. I miss Guitar Donny Car... what a shredder. Vocals are always superb. Drums sounded fat. That version of the band is my fave.The Oaks have always had some rock in their bands. Excellent job guys.
I love this song and the Oaks but the guitar player went overboard . If he wanted to be the star he shouldn't have been playing backup for the Oaks ! He messed this clip up and I love hearing them sing live.
I disagree I think he was spot on, they love this guy Donny Car and like to showcase him same with Skip Mitchell their former guitarist. It's more upbeat than the record of course.
R.I.P. Joe Bonsall, Passed away this day, 2024.. 🎵🎶 🎤🎙️. Certainly one of the greatest Tenors !!
Sterbans voice isn't just great, it is truly a phenomenon. At this stage in his life his voice was like the bass section of an orchestra. Unbelievable the depth and resonance. The group is a national treasure.
Thank you for your music. RIP Joe.

Thanks for the insightful info. This song has saved my life. Been listening to it 35 years. It's deep deep stuff
The host was joking, silly.
Well said. Def a hurting song.
So so true.. I always listen to this beautiful song when I am low

Thank you
Please pray for both Joe & Duane. They are both in great need of prayer 🙏
Sooooooooo many memories.... the older we get the more memories we create.... these perfect songs recall the memories. Peace to all. 🙏🙏🙏
One of the greatest country and Gospel bands of all time.May God Bless.

they were great! mountain man needed a big time beard trim.
R.I.P Randy Vanwarmer who wrote the song. He wrote 1979 classic Just When I Needed You Most.
Thanks for the info. This is one of the greatest songs ever written. Any genre, period.I'd love to see Warren Haynes do this song.. Peace.
Joe bonsall married do he have kids
Yes two girls
I didn’t realize VanWarmer had died. :-/

Much love to you and your strength for your story. Hopefully you are growing in strength
I'm sorry she hurt you like that how awful I could never hurt someone like that karma coming for her and she'll see how it feels to hurt someone

As I get older this song means sooo much...
My parents had both just died (5 months apart) when this song came out. This song is from me to them...hope they can hear me sing it to them.
Donnie Carr playing the lead guitar and playing very well.
Donnie "guitar" Carr is one of the best.
Best group ever, Joe's tenor voice always blows me away, love their harmonies, love them.
Always love you Janice love of my life so sorry your gone never forget you my LOVE
This song got me thru a lot of bad days!!!!!
I will always love this song and the oaks❤
this song was played at my brothers funeral service i beleive to true tribute to him
This song represents my relationship with the love of my life!
I never got to say goodbye to either of my two sisters. Brings tears to my eyes whenever I hear this beautiful song.
I lost my mom in 2005. It really makes me sad that she and I never said goodbye.
My Mother passed away eight days before Mothers Day 2015. She and I never said goodbye either.
Great song!!!
Lyrics
Sometimes I feel a wave
Of a past break in my mind
And I know it's gone for good
And it makes me want to cry
Is this all we get to keep
As the years go rollin' by
Just a memory
For all the days gone by
Oh, you're always in my heart
And you're often on my mind
I will never let it die
Just as long as I'm alive
Sometimes it makes me sad
That we never said goodbye
Well I guess it never hurts
To hurt sometimes
You try and hold on to the moment
But time won't let you stay
But for every step you take
You lose something on the way
You can't look forward to tomorrow
And still hold on to yesterday
Oh, I hope that you can hear
When I'm saying
Oh, you're always in my heart
And you're often on my mind
I will never let it die
Just as long as I'm alive
Sometimes it makes me sad
That we never said goodbye
Well I guess it never hurts
To hurt sometimes
Oh, you're always in my heart
And you're often on my mind
I will never let it die
Just as long as I'm alive
Sometimes it makes me sad
That we never said goodbye
Well I guess it never hurts
To hurt sometimes
Oh, I guess it never hurts
To hurt sometimes

Playing at the KY state fair tonight, wish I could’ve went to see em
I saw them in the late 70's at the OC fair in California. When I was like 8 or 9. They are still just as good if not better today then they were then.
This live version is so much better than studio version more punch and grit. I miss Guitar Donny Car... what a shredder. Vocals are always superb. Drums sounded fat. That version of the band is my fave.The Oaks have always had some rock in their bands. Excellent job guys.
Written by the late Randy VanWarmer..
