Breaking up with your first true love.. oh my gosh, the complete despair. 40 years later and this song still makes me feel like I have no air in my lungs.
God, I so love this jam! I am a 76 year old white dude...in 1979 I turned 34 and was totally into EWF, Tavares, Ohio Players, Barry White...and tons of other similar bands. I know it's physically impossible to go back to the past ( so, far ); the closest things to a time machine are recorded music and photography ( still and moving ). Each day I travel back to the best era in sound that ever existed, and I don't even have to leave my computer!
Why do people mention their so-called color when posting about music? What’s wrong with these people? Don’t they know that music isn’t color-prejudice!
@@palootto4021The music stations on the fm radio where listing some music as for back people or for white people back then so you had a radio station that played disco , R and B for black people and an other radio station that played rock music for white people .No lie, but still there were white people that listened to the music radio station for black audiences and black people listened to the rock and roll radio stations graded for white people but that changed that all changed on the radio waves about 1979 and or early 1980s and then the radio stations started to play a mixed list of music of R and B and Rock on one station called ( Magic 101.5) in Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA;that was the frequency on the radio dial. I hope I explained it correctly and I hope you explore the wonderful world of radio history .
@@thomasmichnya1751 Thank you for your wonderful explanation, but I’m quite familiar with all that you’ve said. You’re correct but I still wondered about the color-coded music.
this is why i sometimes envy old days.. the type of music and performers it produced.. the soul, the melody, the lyrics and the interpretation.. a total package.. :( RIP Maurice..
Why after the love is gone that's always say because we're never going to have that same person to have the Same Love so we're going to looking for another one to give you love that's been they love never die because they love come from God God bless you all thank you
I was blessed to have grown up to this Beautiful Music, I was 18 In 1979 when this came out..EW&F was/still is one of my fav. groups. No matter how long ago it was produced..It is still New...Every time I hear these magical songs, for a Magical Time
This is the epitome of the sound of my generation. Music was alive, creative, true musicians, playing real instruments, reading and writing glorious music..........and the voices............wow
this song calmed me down when i was clinically diagnosed with major depressive disorder. I hope i was born by the time these kinds of songs were just starting
I love everything EWF recorded. This is probably my favorite. When Maurice White strutted and swayed to this song you could literally see his body absorbing the rhythm and every beat. I call EWF’s music magical. I’m 78 years old and this is the only music that I can’t resist grooving to. Lol
I was 16 white boy but I know my music kids I’m 63 now I know my music! It can bring us together kids think about it! I didn’t think black white music! I just loved GREAT MUSIC!! Stop the race baiting y’all I was a teen when this came out I didn’t think about black or white! I thought about awesome my music!! DO THE SAME KIDS
I agree with you Mercilyn. I was a little one when this song was released, but even then, it reached in, grabbed my soul and shook it. They will go down in music history as one of the BEST. I played this for my nephew (who loves hard-core heavy metal). His response-"Da*n that's a good song".
Ahhh, grasshopper, you missed the two best decades for music with premier talent, the 1960's & 1970's. Earth, Wind and Fire's blockbuster album was released in 1975, "That's the Way of the World". The 80's were good and 90's were ok, but each decade saw the talent level dip, now it's just an edgy name & look and bingo, you've got a contract, real talent is way down the list of requirements for a band or group. It's all about the money.
She is gone. 5 years now. We were separated by weird and strange circumstances. She lives close by ,I know that I will never see her again nor will I ever love another woman. Never. I can hold it in until I hear that hauntingly beautiful sax solo. The tears flow .Every time.
Happy Birthday, Jack. You would have been 60 today. You held my heart for a time, and broke it. I will never forget you, have long forgiven you and now only the best of you will forever be a part of my heart. RIP.....
Just learnt that David Foster is one of the writers of this great love song. I've loved this song from the time I knew what good music was - as a little girl.
I love Earth Wind and Fire but I have hard time listening to their music since I lost my Brother. My Brother and his best friend use to sing their songs along with many other groups like the Stylistics. They could hit those notes, they sounded just like them. When one of their songs comes on (as well as those other groups songs) I just start crying. Depending on a memory related to certain songs they can be happy or sad tears but nonetheless I'm still crying and trying to sing along...
After the love is gone, 22 years of it. We try to go on, but have our "good" memories living separately but still remember. And wish we could find it again, with each other or with someone else. Too sad. How do we go on? Act like it never happened?
I know exactly what you are feeling.. There myself! You can’t act like it never happened.. You have to embrace and remember all of the good times and memories.. And try to forget the bad times..
Music I grew up on. EWF = 🐐 This song brings tears to my eyes caus ethic shit is so real and touches the soul because sometime in our lives, we went thru this. My goodness, thank Yah got Earth, Wind and Fire.
How can you not love this song and group i was born in 68 and i grew up with these guys and its 2021 and i still listen to this band today its dec 23 2021 and i had to listen these guys were great and still are.
I'm an aspiring song writer and studying Earth, Wind and Fire's music has helped me tremendously. The rhythms, key changes, modulations. Incredible stuff if you want to learn how to compose interesting, cohesive songs.
This song has been in my head all week but I just didn't know the correct lyrics. I finally caved and looked around. You gifted me with this video. Thank you so very much.
2nd grade when this record came out. So many moons ago, the simpler times. This record takes me back. If I get dementia, I hope someone plays this record, I will remember every thing from this time period. Music is the cure. 👍
lol,omg Earth ,Wind and Fire began way back in the 70's maybe earlier I don't know .I do know I have been a fan since then and I love everything that they have recorded and performed just wish we had the chance growing up to see them live here in Florida when Maurice was alive,so love that man :))

They're all psycho chicks....every one of them. The main reason she wanted out was probably her relentless insecurity, and she wanted to see if you'd beg her to come back....just a power move is all....one that destroyed a marriage. Ooops (I guess).

Because it reminds us that love is not something to take for granted.❤
This is a CLASSY song from one of the finest bands ever to grace the stage. Fresh as the day it was written, as all good songs are.

What a chord progression. Genius and cozy.
Felix, David Foster 😎
Yes..so difficult to play and sing this wonderful song
Wonderful beautiful arrangement - it has always bowled me over! The voices also!!
Exactly. As somebody noted below, it's David Foster. Brilliant orchestration
David Foster and Maurice White are Master song writers, producers and Great musicans!!! Rest in Peace Maurice White! Thank you for the music!!
I'm 70 years old and when I hear Earth Wind and Fire I feel young again. So many memories.
Still get goose bumps every time. Maurice will be sorely missed by anyone who knew what good music is
I am excited to be with you and your family
This is one of my favorites.
I’m seven years late to this comment, but, It still is absolutely true!
Whoever is still listening to this song, you are lucky.
R.I.P. Maurice White. Your music will live forever
Good evening Higinio Negron

Written by Bill Champlin from the band Chicago...and Maurice kills it! A masterpiece.
It was written by David Foster.
@@blondespitfire Foster and Champlin co-wrote.
ricky marino Maurice FRANCISCAs IT!!!!
Damn I really miss Maurice! The best vocalist since some of the Motown guys. Pair that with Phillips harmony & no other words needed!
Classy sounding music, telling a story about love. "After the Love was gone."
I agree with you Mercilyn. I was a little one when this song was released, but even then, it reached in, grabbed my soul and shook it. They will go down in music history as one of the BEST. I played this for my nephew (who loves hard-core heavy metal). His response-"Da*n that's a good song".
Poignant and meaningful….and I can't begin to explain why. Thank you and R.I.P. Maurice White.

A song so good in the ears, yet so painful to hear.
specially when you can relate to it... :'(
So true. After the Love is gone and lost, it might never be found or it’ll never be the same even when found.
I love EWF. One of my favorite songs by EWF. The words are right on!
One of the prettiest songs ever.
Earth Wind & Fire still rocks in 2020 in all this covid 19. AFTER THE LOVE IS GONE is as new as it ever was!
I loved this song as a child and still love it today!!! They certainly don’t make music like this anymore!!!
Beautiful song, as with all of their songs.
