Nope. They screwed themselves out of the HOF with Mr. Roboto, the worst song of the entire decade of the 80's, and an even WORSE video. The Babe, Too Much Time On My Hands, and Renegade Styx....yes. But completely destroyed it with Kilroy. NO WAY!
My wife and I got married on a spur of the moment, it was planned to get married about a month later but we decided right there in the courthouse when we got our marriage license to do it then, have a courthouse wedding. She was dressed up, I was wearing 501's and a Styx concert T-Shirt. We were married for 34 years, she passed away on October 6th. Misty, babe I love you.
My condolences. You are never prepared for tragedy. My mom is at her end of life and my brother's and sisters are already mourning her loss. My dad died of melanoma cancer 25 years ago on March 5th. Non of us were prepared bc he hid his symptoms until 5 weeks before his death. I wS so wrecked I couldn't even grieve properly until 10 years later.
Actually, Dennis wrote this song as a birthday present for his wife Suzanne and never intended to release it as a single. A&M President Bob Garcia backs up Dennis' story that when Tommy and JY heard it that THEY BOTH INSISTED that it be included on Cornerstone and be released as the first single on the album. This is all part of Tommy's and JY's FALSE NARRATIVE on how Dennis' songs caused a rift among the band. And another FACT, Tommy actually wrote the only 3 songs in the Styx catalog-Sing for the Day, Boat on a River, and Just Get Through this Night- that does NOT feature one single power chord. But again, it is all part of the FALSE NARRATIVE that Dennis only wrote ballads. Tommy and JY keep demeaning Dennis' hits while still happily cashing their royalty checks. Talk about the epitome of hypocrisy.
I would be willing to argue that mr roboto was the biggest with this a close second, but for me I believe this to be the superior song due to content and quality.
Styx was one of my fathers favorite bands; this was his favorite song. My parents divorced when I was little; he never remarried. Up until the day of his death January 2021 he said he would always love my mom and remember the good times. I just turned 48 on the 12th of July and I still remember being 6 years old sitting at a booth with a jukebox at Dairy Queen, asking my dad for change so we could listen to music as we ate. It never failed that he always asked for this song to be played and every time he would tell me that it would remind him of my mom and everything that she meant to him and everything he couldn't be for her. Every time, it never failed, he would say he regretted not knowing a good thing when he had it right under his nose the whole time and vowed every time, I would be an only child and that his love for my mom would go on until the day he died. Those words rang true until his passing. He wasn't father of the year, but he was my dad and I will forever love him and I'm very fortunate, blessed, to be able to speak heart to heart with him before he passed. Not many get that chance. Love you Nico. I loved you more than I ever thought I did and I miss you like crazy.
iM 48 AND this was myt 1st and only loves song. i never remarried and dont plan on. She may have hurt me very bad ill always love her. She is all my best memories and she was the reason for my happiness. Since shes left my life has been ruins and wish for death each day.
Grew up with this music- nothing today that can compare to the vocals, the pure musicianship and artistry. The 80's were sacred and music like this were the soundtrack of my life.
I just saw the story of how he wrote this song for his wife on TikTok. It's so beautiful. He wrote it for her birthday and didn't think anything of it as anything but a personal love song no one else would care about... and it ended up this hugh hit for him. It was written from the heart.
Aww.. He’s such a sweet guy! I really love this song. Thanks heavens, it got released!..it fills a special place in my heart and i can only think of my husband when i hear it played. I imagine him singing it to me.
I was a 20 year old in the U.S. Navy the 1st time I heard this song. Our ship was off the coast of San Diego, it was night time when I was on the sponsor deck listening to some music on the radio. Babe came on and it was what I needed that night to make it perfect. Many years later as a retired Sailor and this is still one of my favorite songs of all time. Styx rocked then & I still rock to this song decades later. Thank you Styx for all of your great music. Rock on forever! I salute you!👍🎵📻⚓
My late husband always called me "Babe", and used to sing this song to me often (he was a musician... and would sing this when he was away). When he died, the song came on the radio that evening, and the words meant even more to me than before because that day he left on his final journey without me.💔
2024 .I'll never forget this song. I was just 19 when I had an accident was in hospital for 2 years. My first love use to travel to me everyday with the train. .And this was the song we use to sing together before he would leave the..
No matter how many times they try to remake a classic they can't do it. I feel sorry for kids who were never exposed to the music of this era and even into the 80's. I played all kinds of music (except RAP) to my girls and they have such an appreciation for it.
Times were changing n tough no doubt n w that n much more I will ALWAYS believe that growing into adulthood. Having this great music from all over our world was so comforting in troubled times. Thanks
To the person that reads this, I ask the Lord to bless them and their family, to cure them of every sickness and pain, to fill their emptiness with love joy and peace, to rebuke the enemy from their lives. " ASK JESUS TO COME INTO YOUR HEART AND SAVE YOU, AND TO FORGIVE YOU OF YOUR SINS, FOR WE GIVE THANKS AND GLORY TO THE LORD. IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AMEN!
I'm 23 and I'll never let this kind of music disappear! I'll make sure my kids and grand kids know all about this 80s love. Thank you styx for changing my life and my parents life and grandparents life.
Thank you for saying that. As all old people say life was much simpler back then! And you know what it's true with so much easier growing up when I did 70s and 80s. Nobody had smartphones and what we did on Saturday night didn't end up on RUclips or Facebook on Sunday. Good luck to you and thank you for recognizing classic rock and the timelessness of it.
Carissa Dalton awe sweets it breaks my heart to hear that. You will meet again. Life here on Earth is just a raindrop in time against eternity. Take care
Babe I'm leaving I must be on my way The time is drawing near My train is going I see it in your eyes The love, the need, your tears But I'll be lonely without you And I'll need your love to see me through So please believe me My heart is in your hands And I'll be missing you 'Cause you know it's you babe Whenever I get weary And I've had enough Feel like giving up You know it's you babe Giving me the courage And the strength I need Please believe that it's true Babe, I love you You know it's you babe Whenever I get weary And I've had enough Feel like giving up You know it's you babe Giving me the courage And the strength I need Please believe that it's true Babe, I love you Babe, I'm leaving I'll say it once again And somehow try to smile I know the feeling we're trying to forget If only for a while 'Cause I'll be lonely without you And I'll need your love to see me through Please believe me My heart is in your hands 'Cause I'll be missing you Babe, I love you Babe, I love you Oh, babe
I'm gonna play this song to my 17yr old daughter this weekend to let her know hom much I love her through music. I'm gen x and me her mom spit up when she was just 3 . Because of my daughter and the Lord I got clean from hard drug addiction. At that time I had been on a 10yr meth bender and her mother took her from me. Because of my love for my daughter I haven't touched that stuff in 14yrs. I did regain co-custudy of my daughter after I got sober for her. My love for the Lord and my daughter is strong.
Quarantine was rough, but an end is in sight. Finally going to be able to get out and we're going to see Styx and Reo Speedwagon in concert in July. Babe means so much to me. 5 years ago my husband's hard partying ways were finally catching up with him and almost brought it to an end. He decided to go for treatment. The night before he left, I cried when he played this song for me. 5 years later, he has been completely clean and loving life. It's only after the dark that you can see the stars...when we finally see ourselves out of this, we're going to be listening to Babe live on his 6 year anniversary....can't WAIT! thanks for the great music to see us through!
Please know that the current Styx lineup will not play this song at your concert. If you want to hear "Babe", you have to go to a Dennis DeYoung concert.
😭😭😭 beautiful! Styx and Speedwagon concert would be MY DREAMM! It's so sad that these legends who make the best music there is don't have concerts here in India. All we get is Justin Bieber lip syncing on stage and leaving. Please! Just keep that autotune with yourself, ugh. Also, it's so beautiful that you have someone to share this music with and who shares it with you!💜💜
Styx is one of my all time favorite bands. Everything Dennis Deyoung sang was gold. This is really one special band. Thank you for all of your music. Amazing.
One of the iconic Styx songs, this song speaks volumes and is so timeless. Pure magic, it brings back very fond memories of high school in the 80s being with my gf who is now my loving wife of 30 yes. Love you baby and always will😘❤️🌹
Sounds very much like the studio version. Also: who plays the synth (high strings) while Dennis plays the Rhodes piano? They probably mimed during the rehearsal before the show and edited in some live footage from later that night. This is done many times. I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure if I run the studio version at the same time, it will be a 1:1 match. Just to make it clear: I love Dennis deYoung and Styx. If they mimed/ lip synced, it was for technical reasons.
Such a beautiful time in my life. I'm sad there are no more bands like this one and never will be. This is the very first concert I went to; at the Warehouse in New Orleans.
@Vivian Farmer I’ve been married for 32years I was 24 and she was 20. She got cancer in 2020 I was totally lost without her. She took a major hit the treatment was horrible for her. I could not do anything to change the situation so I felt helpless..This song reminds me of her.
This year I celebrate 38 years with my husband, my hero and best friend and this song still melts my heart like he does! Thank you for always making me remember decades ago with your music!
This brings back memories for sure. I always remember hearing this song travelling down Malibu canyon in the back seat of the car on my way to Zuma beach as a kid in the early 1980's. The early 1980's were a magical time as they were well past the turmoil of the 1960's and 1970's, MTV just came out, music was at its best but still well before social media, internet, cell phones, and all the problems that have resulted from them. It was like this special little gap in time between the turmoil of the past and present where you just wanted to go to the beach and go to rock concerts. Rock concerts in the 1980's were awesome, no one taking selfies just everyone having the best times of their lives. They truly were the best of times.
Memories: as a Marine wife playing this song at every deployment and saying goodbye. Not easy to do as these deployments could have not expected endings. Still brings tears to my eyes.
Still love this song - my sister was ten years older than me so I was introduced to this as a very young kid but have always loved it - I’ll be missing this kind of music- Babe I love you!
One of the BEST bands ever... I love love love Styx... I remember getting their album when I was in 8th grade for Christmas and I was so happy. Saw them in concert a few times too. So good live!
bury a worthless timepiece in the sand....after a thousand years, it becomes priceless!!. Same with these old time music videos before MTV was ever known. Love it!!
My husband and I saw them at Summerfest in Milwaukee in 2022, it was the best show of the night. Reo Speedwagon played that night, they are my favorite band ever. Styx still had the better show and will always be a bright light in my life. I already loved Styx and their music. It was one of the best night of my life.
Styx ( the 1980's decade's line --- up or band mates or band members ) is/are : the legendary Dennis DeYoung --- lead vocals,background vocals and keyboards the gifted Tommy Shaw --- lead vocals,background vocals and lead guitar the great James Young --- also lead guitar,back --- up vocals and also rhythm guitar the amazing Chuck Panozzo --- bass guitar and background vocals the incredible and late John Panozzo --- drums and percussion
Me and my sisters met one of the guitarist with the blonde hair at the DIA airport years ago. I walked up to him and asked him if he was a celebrity because he had the look and something told me he was ! so he said yes ,told us about his group ,and then gave me one of his guitar pen that he used to play his guitar with. He introduced me to this group and thanks to him,I love music like this! 💙💙
I don’t know about anybody else but this song screams a late night cruising on a back road then all of a sudden on the radio this song starts playing. Just a great song overall 😎🤟🏻
This song reminds me of my husband who passed away almost 9 years ago. In 1979 he worked in upper state New York and I was here in New Jersey. When he was leaving to go back to New York I would miss him so much. Until he came back here to New Jersey 😢
My heart is in your hands, and I'll be missing you. Babe, I love you. I'm a new widow and this song goes right to my heart. We married in 1978 and I miss him so much.
Oh wow, I was in the 9th grade when this came out. I spontaneously broke into singing this this morning and my dog was not amused 😒 😁 Anyway, we’re now in my childhood home waiting for the sale/closing next week and this song harkens back to a time when mom & dad were here and love, laughter and song were plentiful! Love y’all forever❤️ Thank you STYX for a timeless song✨
Dude that’s the sweetest song I’ve heard in along time! I sure wish that love were real for so many couples today. But sadly it just doesn’t happen anymore. 😭☹️
So interesting the detail and focus on the craft sacred. Faith, love, hope, not science, maybe not proven but more powerful than anything. Nothing compares to you.
I have a very gifted son , and I always introduce him to all music's from Eras. I want him to understand that you don't need to use profanity to send a message out to the public. Staying wholesome can take you a far long way. I love classics songs. He wants to learn how to play this song on guitar or piano. Thank you Styx for such heart warming songs.
A great song like this one was released almost everyday or every week by many band groups in the 1980s. The 1980s, best decade ever: Best songs, best videos, best outfits and best hair-dos.

Styx needs to be in the Rock Hall of Fame!
Especially for a most timelessly beautiful song like this one. 🎶
Yes. Super agree. I❤Babe
No Doubt! Totally agree!!
Nope. They screwed themselves out of the HOF with Mr. Roboto, the worst song of the entire decade of the 80's, and an even WORSE video. The Babe, Too Much Time On My Hands, and Renegade Styx....yes. But completely destroyed it with Kilroy. NO WAY!

My wife and I got married on a spur of the moment, it was planned to get married about a month later but we decided right there in the courthouse when we got our marriage license to do it then, have a courthouse wedding. She was dressed up, I was wearing 501's and a Styx concert T-Shirt. We were married for 34 years, she passed away on October 6th. Misty, babe I love you.
Thank you for sharing, sorry about your loss
34 years of great memories. My condolences.
Sorry for your loss. God Bless. 🙏🏻
You were blessed to have her love
What a lovey story, so sorry for your loss but what a great memory song for you.
I love this band! My brother just died in a car accident and he was 58 and this song came on the radio! I miss him! 😢😢
My condolences. You are never prepared for tragedy.
My mom is at her end of life and my brother's and sisters are already mourning her loss. My dad died of melanoma cancer 25 years ago on March 5th. Non of us were prepared bc he hid his symptoms until 5 weeks before his death. I wS so wrecked I couldn't even grieve properly until 10 years later.
I am so sorry Terry! It has been very hard but I know that we go on….just not as we know it. Love does continue. 🩷🩷🩷
Sorry for your loss. Maybe he was singing to you
I was thinking that. ❤️❤️❤️
@@sandraangel4523 I was thinking that!
Dennis DeYoung's faith in his song while the rest of the band did not like it is truly amazing!! it became their biggest hit!
Actually, Dennis wrote this song as a birthday present for his wife Suzanne and never intended to release it as a single.

@@davidrose8842wow, that’s very interesting. I had always heard Tommy wanted rock and Dennis ballads
YOU KNOW IT
I would be willing to argue that mr roboto was the biggest with this a close second, but for me I believe this to be the superior song due to content and quality.
Dennis Deyoung is Styx! They did him dirty.
Styx was one of my fathers favorite bands; this was his favorite song. My parents divorced when I was little; he never remarried.

I'm leaving this comment here so maybe after a week or a month or a year when someone likes it, I get reminded of this awesome song.
Good idea it’s like an alarm clock. But you got 30 likes in 3 weeks. :)
Grew up with this music- nothing today that can compare to the vocals, the pure musicianship and artistry. The 80's were sacred and music like this were the soundtrack of my life.
yess I'm 2008 and I love these music makes me calm
I just saw the story of how he wrote this song for his wife on TikTok. It's so beautiful. He wrote it for her birthday and didn't think anything of it as anything but a personal love song no one else would care about... and it ended up this hugh hit for him. It was written from the heart.
🙆🏻♀️💝💘💕❤❤
Aww.. He’s such a sweet guy! I really love this song. Thanks heavens, it got released!..it fills a special place in my heart and i can only think of my husband when i hear it played. I imagine him singing it to me.
I was a 20 year old in the U.S. Navy the 1st time I heard this song. Our ship was off the coast of San Diego, it was night time when I was on the sponsor deck listening to some music on the radio. Babe came on and it was what I needed that night to make it perfect. Many years later as a retired Sailor and this is still one of my favorite songs of all time. Styx rocked then & I still rock to this song decades later. Thank you Styx for all of your great music. Rock on forever! I salute you!👍🎵📻⚓
Back when the greatest bands sounded as good live as they did on vinyl! Real instruments, pure vocals- no auto tune necessary!! ❤️
Truth... it's all fake and computerized TODAY!
So true!! There was no faking this emotion and passion

They don't make classics like this anymore. Yep, real music. Written, produced and performed by true artists.
he was so beautiful with his mario bros mustache
Dude they don't made because the listener are not classic anymore 😒
Its true 👍👍
No vocoders, octavers and other junk…. Just pure real music
No matter how many times they try to remake a classic they can't do it. I feel sorry for kids who were never exposed to the music of this era and even into the 80's. I played all kinds of music (except RAP) to my girls and they have such an appreciation for it.
There is no doubt that the 60s 70s and 80s were the best years of music🎶
No auto-tuning of voice, no effects, and other gadgets.
No doubt whatsoever.
I did agree with you on that! I did love ❤ all the songs those years.
👍
Times were changing n tough no doubt n w that n much more I will ALWAYS believe that growing into adulthood. Having this great music from all over our world was so comforting in troubled times. Thanks

Well...and you are "lonely without her"...but you've had her "love to see you through." I bet she was an amazing Mom.

And this is why I believe that the 70s was one of the best decades for music!! ♥♥♥
Fact!!!
They were the best my wild care free days
You don't have the believe something you know to be a fact. Belief implies doubt.
The 70s without a doubt 2nd to none
Damn square. ♥️
The time when music is a gift for our ears, real instruments, real voices, real musicians , thank you Styx especially Mr. Dennis DeYoung!
No school dance was complete without this beautiful slow song…thanks for the memories
The best live song I've ever heard ..still to date there has never been a live song that sounds so beautifully perfect..what voices STYX has...💜
must not have ever heard running on empty by Jackson Browne then
@@michaelwallbrown3726 nope..I have not but each to their own🤷♂️
Quarantine was rough, but an end is in sight. Finally going to be able to get out and we're going to see Styx and Reo Speedwagon in concert in July.

David is correct, they still put on a great concert just without Dennis Deyoung’’s “Babe”
😭😭😭 beautiful! Styx and Speedwagon concert would be MY DREAMM! It's so sad that these legends who make the best music there is don't have concerts here in India.

Styx is one of my all time favorite bands. Everything Dennis Deyoung sang was gold. This is really one special band. Thank you for all of your music. Amazing.
This song is fire 🔥. I love it. How many ways can you express your love?
I love this Band. They're great!!!
The river Styx flows through hell.
One of the iconic Styx songs, this song speaks volumes and is so timeless. Pure magic, it brings back very fond memories of high school in the 80s being with my gf who is now my loving wife of 30 yes. Love you baby and always will😘❤️🌹
B abe is from the 70dz
The live concert which just sounds like recorded in studio... So clean!! Wow.. Just wow! 😮👏👏👏
Sounds very much like the studio version. Also: who plays the synth (high strings) while Dennis plays the Rhodes piano? They probably mimed during the rehearsal before the show and edited in some live footage from later that night. This is done many times. I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure if I run the studio version at the same time, it will be a 1:1 match. Just to make it clear: I love Dennis deYoung and Styx. If they mimed/ lip synced, it was for technical reasons.
I thought the same. Awesome
Pretty darn sure that was edited in.
The bands now couldnt shine these guys shoes.
I’m with you on that. I love The Bee Gees. How’s there ever going to be another group like them?
Anyone just come here cuz you get nostalgic for true music and the good memories it brings?
Absolutely
For sure 😉
Yup.
Yeah it's my karaoke song.Allways gets good reaction from the crowd.
I come here to listen to the songs and cry for the better days
1983 more or less. it seems yesterday for me in 2024. i do not know if cry or to be happy.
Such a beautiful time in my life. I'm sad there are no more bands like this one and never will be. This is the very first concert I went to; at the Warehouse in New Orleans.
Theres but its impersonators

@Vivian Farmer I’ve been married for 32years I was 24 and she was 20. She got cancer in 2020 I was totally lost without her. She took a major hit the treatment was horrible for her. I could not do anything to change the situation so I felt helpless..This song reminds me of her.
@@jameshandy-qq3gu memories are beautiful and sometimes bittersweet. So sorry about your wife.
@@vivianfarmer965 Thank you so much for the kind words. It’s really hard to loose a partner
This year I celebrate 38 years with my husband, my hero and best friend and this song still melts my heart like he does! Thank you for always making me remember decades ago with your music!
Never tire of hearing this lovely song Thankyou❤
This song is definitely a master piece 🔥 💯 🎵 👌 🙌
2024?
Yes....been listening to STYX for 40+ years, and this *perfect* love song, will last another 40.
My heart is split in two but our ❤ will one day be back together
This brings back memories for sure. I always remember hearing this song travelling down Malibu canyon in the back seat of the car on my way to Zuma beach as a kid in the early 1980's. The early 1980's were a magical time as they were well past the turmoil of the 1960's and 1970's, MTV just came out, music was at its best but still well before social media, internet, cell phones, and all the problems that have resulted from them. It was like this special little gap in time between the turmoil of the past and present where you just wanted to go to the beach and go to rock concerts. Rock concerts in the 1980's were awesome, no one taking selfies just everyone having the best times of their lives. They truly were the best of times.
and Styx has a song about just that . The Best of times.
Great band, love their music 🎉
The tune is full of hope.

STYXで1番好きな曲です❤
My father loved this song, I never understood it when I was young. As I've gotten older I love it more and more when I hear it.
My favorite song ever
2000s kid here❤
Memories: as a Marine wife playing this song at every deployment and saying goodbye. Not easy to do as these deployments could have not expected endings. Still brings tears to my eyes.
Still love this song - my sister was ten years older than me so I was introduced to this as a very young kid but have always loved it - I’ll be missing this kind of music- Babe I love you!
What a pretty and wonderful woman ,hello my darling ?
One of the BEST bands ever... I love love love Styx... I remember getting their album when I was in 8th grade for Christmas and I was so happy. Saw them in concert a few times too. So good live!
Hello, how are you doing? it’s nice seeing you here.
Such an incredible song..Dennis wrote 95% of their hits..he is sooo great
With this song i remember my dad.. who pas away in september.. i miss you sow much daddy i love you sow much
Absolutely my favorite all time song. I miss these songs today
I grew up listening to melodious music like this, my HAPPY place! Music makes my soul sing! Love from South Africa!
I heard this song for the first time at a Burger King yesterday and now I can’t get enough of this band.
Burger King sm north me listening now. 😍
Bagay kayo haha

What did you have? I believe their fries 🍟 are superior to most other fast food joints.
Lady is a great song to
bury a worthless timepiece in the sand....after a thousand years, it becomes priceless!!. Same with these old time music videos before MTV was ever known. Love it!!
wonderful, real music
His voice. Such clarity and power. This band. Incredible memories for all of us.

Beautiful 🙏🎶🪷☮️
This is one of the only songs out there that I can hardly listen to without breaking down. It is just very sad, yet an incredible song.
My husband and I saw them at Summerfest in Milwaukee in 2022, it was the best show of the night. Reo Speedwagon played that night, they are my favorite band ever. Styx still had the better show and will always be a bright light in my life. I already loved Styx and their music. It was one of the best night of my life.
This was a big hit back in the good old days, Amazing tune.
I listen to this song every night before I go to bed.
I just love this song so much ❤
This sing is forever. I love it.

Oh...Shit!!+my first slow dance ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Me and my sisters met one of the guitarist with the blonde hair at the DIA airport years ago. I walked up to him and asked him if he was a celebrity because he had the look and something told me he was ! so he said yes ,told us about his group ,and then gave me one of his guitar pen that he used to play his guitar with. He introduced me to this group and thanks to him,I love music like this! 💙💙
❤️👍 one of the best bands of all time! Today’s music can’t compare.
Masterpiece Of Rock Ballad
I don’t know about anybody else but this song screams a late night cruising on a back road then all of a sudden on the radio this song starts playing. Just a great song overall 😎🤟🏻
This song reminds me of my husband who passed away almost 9 years ago. In 1979 he worked in upper state New York and I was here in New Jersey. When he was leaving to go back to New York I would miss him so much. Until he came back here to New Jersey 😢
35 yrs ago and I still goosebumps on this song and other songs of styx. Love 80s and 90s songs ❤️❤️❤️
So many memories of a wonderful time in my life

Me too!beautiful songs
My heart is in your hands, and I'll be missing you. Babe, I love you. I'm a new widow and this song goes right to my heart. We married in 1978 and I miss him so much.
Babe I love you... ❤
Oh wow, I was in the 9th grade when this came out. I spontaneously broke into singing this this morning and my dog was not amused 😒 😁
Anyway, we’re now in my childhood home waiting for the sale/closing next week and this song harkens back to a time when mom & dad were here and love, laughter and song were plentiful!
Love y’all forever❤️
Thank you STYX for a timeless song✨
Tough place to be. Have been there recently. Hold on to your memories.
💕
Dennis de Young...¡what a singer!....God bless him forever...
Dude that’s the sweetest song I’ve heard in along time! I sure wish that love were real for so many couples today. But sadly it just doesn’t happen anymore. 😭☹️
Still so very beautiful in 2022 . Back when music was so much more meaningful with real instruments played.
Such a bewitching piece of art.
Nicely stated 🙂
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅💐💐💐💐💐💐💐🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 belíssima
So interesting the detail and focus on the craft sacred. Faith, love, hope, not science, maybe not proven but more powerful than anything. Nothing compares to you.
I have a very gifted son , and I always introduce him to all music's from Eras. I want him to understand that you don't need to use profanity to send a message out to the public. Staying wholesome can take you a far long way. I love classics songs. He wants to learn how to play this song on guitar or piano. Thank you Styx for such heart warming songs.
❤
This was real music. Back when people could sing and play instruments, not stand around in a studio covering the flaws with filters. Golden days.
👍🌹
Your ignorance is showing.
Styx has performed at Parx Casino in Pennsylvania several times over the past few years, and they're as good as ever!
A song like this only appears once every 50 years... Dennis created it in an unusually superior moment of inspiration.
A great song like this one was released almost everyday or every week by many band groups in the 1980s. The 1980s, best decade ever: Best songs, best videos, best outfits and best hair-dos.
Smh, you really don't know,,& appreciate what real Love 💕 is, until it's gone !!❤👍
