You know it's a great song when you still can sing all the words after so many years ❤
Yes! I've not heard this song in so long, decades. Singing right along and it's made me all misty.
My daddy's song 💔
💯✔ Indeed!!
Truth.
Yes, indeed.
Dave Loggins is Kenny Loggins’ second cousin. Lots of talent in that fam. Gorgeous song ✨
Thanks for that info. 👍
I'm kinda surprised to find that this song still sucks.
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT! I guess vocals run in the family!
They didn’t meet until years later…I always thought Kenny did background on the song, but he didn’t. This is my favorite song tied with Aaron Neville’s “Feels Like Rain “. Been loving it for over fifty plus years..
2nd cousins, wow I never knew that. 👍😊
An achingly beautiful song. The lyric about being up in the mountains in Denver (we'll throw "I love you" echoes down the canyons, and then lie awake at night until they come back around) is still one of the most romantic things I've ever heard.
achingly beautiful is a perfect phrase here
Yes! I love that line particularly, too.
Agreed. Just beautiful!
OMG I love it when a kindred spirit hears something a loves it as much as I do!!! That has to be one of the best lines in a song ever!! That gives me an eargasm every time I hear it!!
Definatly the best line. The bridge is awesome too.
A tear comes to my eyes every time I hear this song. My mom and dad got divorced when I was 13 and I can remember my mom listening to this song when she was struggling through it. Now that she’s gone I really miss listening to this song with her. I hope she can hear this song in heaven. I love and miss you so much mom. Thank you guys for the memories. 🥺🥺
Okay, you just brought tears to my eyes.
❤😢
🕊️😢
Now I'm crying with you 😪Prayers for you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The story basically is, he's a musician from Tennessee traveling around the country playing gigs and trying to make it big. (I still need to lean to, someone that I can sing to") He lives in these different places he's performing and he wants her to come be with him. Also, did you guys catch the double meaning in that line when he was in LA? "There's some _stars_ that fell from the sky and are living upon the _hill"_ ..He's in LA, near Hollywood Hills where all the movie stars live! I thought that was a very clever line! Dave Loggins is such a great talented singer/songwriter. So talented!
Thank you for sharing the story behind the song!
That last part about the hill is a very good point and brings some insight into the song. That makes me believe that he has been traveling around for years at this point and wherever he has been he has been trying to get the one he loves to join him. At this point in his life, he is in LA its probably been quite a few years since his first letter and he still wants her with him.
Dave Loggins, born and raised in Tennessee, was inspired to write "Please Come to Boston" by a 1972 tour with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band which included stops in Boston, Denver and Los Angeles,[5] cities which were new to Loggins. He stated:
The story is almost true, except there wasn't anyone waiting {here} so I made her up. In effect, making the longing for someone stronger. It was a recap to my first trip to each of those cities and out of innocence. That was how I saw each one. The fact of having no one to come home to made the chorus easy to write. Some 40 years later, I still vividly remember that night, and it was as if someone else was writing the song.[6]
I remember when this song came out in the mid 70's. It was an instant hit, played on every station. One hit wonders can be magical.
He's not a one hit wonder has done songs with others and they where also hit songs
@@redred222 I tend to agree. But he is one of the artists where you can only think of one song. Then, when you hear another one, you go: "Oh yeah! I remember that!". I am one of those.
Actually Kenny Loggins is his cousin. One of my favorite songs ever, he was an incredible songwriter in the 70s and 80s. Also sings a beautiful duet with Anne Murray- “Nobody Loves Me Like You Do”.
Yes, the duet with Anne Murray is great😊
ruff500,
Loved Snowbird
I love that song with Anne Murray. 100%
Oh my gosh, I'd forgotten all about the song with Anne Murray!
Can't go wrong with Anne Murray, her Duet album is full of stars that wanted to sing with her.
This song always makes me cry.
“We’ll throw "I love you" echoes down the canyon
And then lie awake at night till they come back around….”
That has to be one of the most romantic lines I have ever heard in a song. Just pure poetry!!! Brings tears to my eyes every time.
I hear this song on the oldies stations now and then. I always stay till the end.
I'm 67 years old and this album is on my list of the top 5 albums of my lifetime. I never tire of listening to it.
☺
Wondering as the days go by
Me and you together. I’m 70 years old..still my fav.
Yes, and there was so much crossover back then. Country, Rock, Pop, R and B all on the same radio station.
The way he sings that last line just hits a different way. He nailed that line!!!
RIP to Mr. Dave Loggins. A prolific song writer and musician who had a 50+ year career. He passed yesterday Wednesday, July 10th, 2024.
OMG. I remember he sang a good duet with Anne Murray also.
😥
@@TristanandIsolt that duet is a most amazing song. Nobody Loves Me Like You Do
@@Defensewhiz It's good, but please come to Boston is one of the best songs of all time. I recently found out he wrote She is His only Need for Wynonna and IMO that is her best song.
@@TristanandIsolt I fully agree about Boston being one of the best songs. It's definitely one of my go to's when I hit karaoke
Isn't this such a beautiful written and performed song?!
It's a bittersweet but beautiful song. He loves her, she loves him but their relationship is never going to work. Even if she followed him in a few months he would be off on the next adventure. He's a rambler infected with wanderlust and she wants a settled life.
One of the greatest songs ever.
the way Dave Loggins could illustrate a story through words was phenomenal. .. "and there are some stars that fell from the sky, living up on the hill" (meaning aging, older movie stars, living up in the Hollywood Hills). This is some of his best work. The poetry of this song is just amazing.
This song was so popular when I was in high school. Such a sweet song.
Stunning song...always makes me tear up a bit.
He just recently passed away. He was a wonderful singer and a prolific songwriter. RIP Dave Loggins
One of the best ballads of the 70's. ☮💜🎶
This song and Jimmy Buffet’s “ Come next Monday “ I always play together.
Great suggestion🤗
2 of the best
I was in college in '76 and Loggins came to our student union and did an acoustic show for all of about 30 people. I didn't know who he was but as a broke kid in school, I went because it was free.
Almost 50 years later, I remember him singing this song.
One of my favorites! I wish he was appreciated more.
This song never fails to make me tear up. For the past 25-30 years I've been a ramblin guy like that and always wished someone would reply to me as she did, never happened tho. 😢
Absolutely beautiful song tho.
✌Peace✌
Classic one hit wonder, instantly memorable and the words come right back when you haven’t heard it in the last 20 years. ✌️
Dave was picked up hitchhiking near here by a girl I knew from high school. She was the preeminent hippie chick back then, long glowing hair, short short skirts when not in bell bottoms and tie-dyed. She invited him to the family lodge/lakeside cabin resort where he stayed a very long time. When he left he wrote a song called Girl From Knoxville, which is really about Rockwood, TN, he mentions in the 1st lines. Some believe she was also the muse for Please Come to Boston.
Such a beautiful song! Definitely a favorite of mine.
Dave was inspired to write "Please Come to Boston" by a 1972 tour with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band which included stops in Boston, Denver and Los Angeles, cities which were new to Loggins, a simply beautiful flowing song both in the melody and vocals I love it, Ty guys for enjoying this and reminding me of it I had forgotten it but I have it now downloaded to enjoy again after not hearing it for so long.
Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘🎶🎶🎶🎶💖💖💖💖
I never knew that. Thanks.
He finally made it , but he never got his girl. He went from living with some friends in Boston, to living in a house that looks out over the ocean. Hell of a story, hell of a song.
One of the most perfect songs I have ever heard... has always been an eyes-closed gently rocking songs. For those of us who travel, it feels so good.
I love his reafference about Elvis and himself. "She's the number one fan of the man from Tennessee." Dave Loggins is from Tennessee too. Cannot believe it's been (49) years since this came out back in (1974). Awesome song and voice. Love it.
I have always loved this song! He also has a great duet with Ann Murray called Nobody Loves Me Like You Do.
This song is on the top ten list of favorite songs EVER...
Love this song.
RIP Dave Loggins. Thank you for your beautiful voice. 💙 🙏
Imagine hearing this song as a teenager. All these years later, this song brings a tear to my eyes. He is breaking her heart and doesn't understand what she is saying to him. Star crossed lovers.
Another thing I love about this 1974 song is the production. It's beautiful and perfectly layered. The seventies had such good production (except for punk, which was against good musicianship and against good production).
Another great song I forgot about. Thank you guys for taking me back to my younger days. Happy I got to listen to such great music for decades. Love your channel.
Absolute classic. Such a great tune. I always wondered how this guy could be a one hit wonder when he's this talented
He never liked performing live and confessed that he was not cut out to be a rock star. He preferred songwriting and ended up being inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. He wrote several hit songs for Alabama and numerous hits for Kenny Rogers, Wynonna, Tanya Tucker, Don Williams, 3 Dog Night, Reba and other country and pop artists. He also wrote "Augusta, " which CBS has used as it's theme during coverage of the Masters golf tournament since the early 1980's.
When I sit down and actually listen to the entirety and nuance of this song from my childhood, I always cry. It's the most beautiful sweet but heartbreaking story set to such heart-touching music. He never goes back to her despite she always being the one he wants to join him on whatever Don Quixote trip he's on. And she never stops loving him enough to say come home. The beautifully ethereal female voice that soars over his vocals when he's singing her words make you almost SEE her trying to reason with him. I love it, I just think this song is a perfect gem.
Don Quixote trip...good one...
The way you two looked at each other the first time Loggins sang, "Won't you come home to me," was awesome.
Gotta love songs that paint pictures in your mind.
Now THAT is a love song. Wasn’t that beautiful? Much love ❤️
Rest in peace, Dave. I absolutely love this song and his vocal on it. So gut wrenchingly wistful. It really speaks to me.
As soon as I saw you were reacting to this, I clicked on it. The emotion in the song is undeniable.
This is one of my Favorite songs from 1974, I just graduated and got my first job, got married....used to hear this all the time. Great song.
'Please Come To Boston" peaked @ #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1974. Dave Loggins charted one other single "Someday" peaking @ #57 in late 1974.
I was 11. I LOVED this song then and now.
He also wrote the music used for The Masters golf tournament. But don't ask to hear the lyrics...
This song should have been a number one hit.
@@wildboy365~ It was to many people's hearts though ❤
AHHhhhhh... "Please Come To Boston" by Dave Loggins... NOW... This IS MUSIC!!!! A simple song, in general, but... the PICTURE that he paints... WHOOOYEEEeeeee... it's SOOOOO COMPLEX & wonderfully BEAUTIFUL that it reaches into your SOUL!!!! SO... THANK YOU for doin' THIS PARTICULAR TRACK!!!! Keep doin' YOU... Peace, Love, & Liberty. Mic Drop 🎤.
Oh, that Summer of '74 was so special for me. This song is a favorite of mine. So happy you discovered it.
He's a singer/musician, and that means endless traveling. He wanted her with him but she loves TN, rightfully so! It's a GREAT state. I should know! lol
An absolutely beautiful song. It’s been one of my favorites for a long time. All men should be so lucky to be loved the way this woman obviously loves him.
This song always takes me back to the summers of my childhood. So glad you got around to checking it out. There's just no replacing the emotional content and magic of what came out in the 70's. Guitar man, by Bread is another gem from that era.
Oh yes, absolutely love Guitar Man!
I cherish this song! I'm so happy that you finally got to check it out! I fell in love with his voice right away! It's a beautiful song! ❤ Thanks for your reaction!
I just checked and they already did Guitar Man. (I’m just trying to save someone else the trouble of looking it up.) It is a great song, as is Please Come to Boston. We were so spoiled back then!
@@terri2494 Thank you for checking.
Rip. Dave Loggins,Thank you for a great song
Thank you both for this reaction...This is one of my all time favorite songs...I`ve been jamming to this one since it was released in 1974 when I was 13...An awesome song.
Great song. Great story telling. Great sentiment. Always liked it since I was a kid. Didn’t quite understand it back then. I was young. Get it now. Great tune👍👍🙏
This is the first time I've seen Jay smile like Amber smiles. Jay loves the bittersweet. He's finally listening to the words and not just the music.
Highly recommend his duet with Anne Murray called " Nobody Loves Me Like You Do "......was the first dance played at thousands of weddings...mine included.
I've always loved this song, it makes me think of "TAXI" by Harry Chapin. You should give it a listen.
A perfect song. Not a wrong word or a wrong note or any unnecessary background. Paints the full picture.
Many people thought this was another Harry Chapin tune, but as they now know, it was a classic from Dave Loggins.
Before I even watch this reaction, I know Amber is going to love this song. Kenny Chesney does a great live cover of this song.
I love Kenny's version too.
Great....Great.....Great song!!! 😊❤
Loove this song. Excited you found it! A lil heartbreaker song lol. Love you guys, too! Yesss, Amber, best lines. And he paints wonderful pictures of landscapes with words, you’re so right!
I have always loved the double-entendre of "...stars that fell from the sky livin' up on the hill": they could be meteorites, or aging movie stars. So many great lines in these wonderful lyrics.
Always thought he meant John Denver.
@@joimeeker3174
John Denver was alive and well in 1974, but it's the same time period as John Denver and Rocky Mountain High.
Dave Loggins has died. I always loved this song even though it is a sad song. I Hope You came Home Dave Loggins. She is waiting for You!
Takes me back to riding with my Mom in our old '70 Volkswagen that only had AM radio and one tinny speaker in the center of a metal dashboard.
Dave loggins lives up the Rd from me see him at football games for high school
''Somebody I can sing to..."
One of my favs...!
One of the most beautifully written and performed songs I've ever heard. "And throw "I love you" echoes down the canyon,
And then lie awake at night till they come back around." He really put his heart and soul nto this.
Despite lots and lots of airplay in the UK and Europe this was never a hit outside North America (well, a very minor hit in Austraila) which is such a shame, because it's a real masterpiece of musical storytelling. As you guys said, in your mind's eye, you can see the pictures the lyrics paint - and that's always so much better than a video.
A pretty similar song - in terms of the story - is Kevin Johnson's "Rock and Roll (I Gave you all the best years of my life)" which is one you should DEFINITELY hit, if you haven't already done so.
This song is wrapped up in some bittersweet memories for me. Two classmates were killed in 8th grade and this was the favorite song of one. It’s a sad song anyway. Even after 45 years I can feel it now.
I love this song soooo much, brings GOOD MEMORIES
always loved this song, but it's also SUCH a heartbreaker. they clearly love each other, and he's a touring musician with a dream, and she can't (or won't) go with him. at the end, he's successful, in California, and she STILL turns him down. so crushing.
Such a great 70's song. It's on my Playlist.
Dave is Kenny's cousin, you can hear it in his voice, this is one of my favorite songs ever! Thanks for the memories.
I'd forgotten that beautiful song. Been a long time since I've heard it. Thanks for the blast from the past.
One of the best songs from the early 70s!!!!
Another great one hit wonder from the 70's is Henry Gross and his song Shannon. Guarantee you will love.
This song is one of the most beautiful and poignant songs ever written. I've always loved it, but right now I'm feeling like it could be the best song of all time.
It’s hard for me to comprehend someone hearing for the first time in 2023 a song that was so integral to my youth. I am sooooo happy and so fortunate to have been alive when this music was new and fresh. To be a child riding around in the car with your dad on a cool summer morning playing this on the 8-track… some of the best memories of my life.
This one is on my best of smooth country mellow CD playlist.👍
One of my favorite songs! Great reaction.Could tell you both enjoyed it. 🎶
-#cheers-- !-
Another you haven't done is Arlo Guthrie. Check out his song "City of New Orleans" one of my all time favorites.
Great suggestion 💖
Absolutely great suggestion. I love how the tempo of that song just makes you FEEL like you're riding on that train.@@juliewhite7469
Good Morning America-How are you? Don’t you know me I’m your native son
What a beautiful song. Glad it came your way. I know it well from way back when. Now many more will know it.
This is the only song that I can remember exactly where I was the first time I heard it.
Ever since this was a hit and got a lot of air play, it always stepped on my feelers.
Great storyteller even greater song… Music that hit your heart and soul and you remember it
Good choice. Nice reaction. I went to the same church as his mother. She was such a nice lady.
Love his beautiful voice and the sentiment of the song!
Most amazing lyrics!! . . . . . . . ."and there's some stars that fell from the sky living upon the hills!"
RIP DAVE LOGGINS🎸🎤
This is one of his best.
one of the most beautiful lyrics ever written... "Please come to Denver with the snowfall
We'll move up into the mountains so far that we can't be found
And throw "I love you" echoes down the canyon
And then lie awake at night till they come back around"... that has stuck with me since i was a kid, when this song first came out
What I always get from this song is that he has a dream that he's trying to follow. She says she loves him, but she doesn't love him enough to come pursue the dream with him, she wants him to come home and give up his dream for her.
This is such a beautiful song. I hadn't heard it in a long time. Thank you for choosing it.
My all time favorite song. RIP Dave.
What a gorgeous and moving song, how it’s written and sung. It’s def this story about a musician traveling the world and keeping him from his beloved. But she wants a home, not a house. Not fame, not fortune. She just wants him to build a life with her where they both can have a home. Cuz she knows his career will tear them apart. And you can tell by how he sings it that he knows she’s right but he wants her and his career. But she (and basically he) knows he has to choose one or the other. It’s his biggest hit song and you can see why.
Rest in peace, Dave Loggins.
Oh my gosh thank you for playing this. I asked you all for this a while ago and I am so happy that today is the day 😊
I always felt that he was touring, making it as a musician. And she was still his #1 fan, Just c'mon home. Great song!
