38 Special - If I'd Been The One (HD)

[@666100samael]

Timeless beautiful song, still full of power and passion

[@robertgerszewski2395]

BEST 38 SPECIAL SONG!

[@johnt.4947]

Never gets old! That's some sweet guitar playin'.

[@irishshaman1912]

A song I play this day each year, a love lost, long ago. Dedicated to Anne, a soul mate lost

[@angeldana6511]

Love this song ❣️

Angel: My heart is aching but not giving the person the satisfaction of letting him know.

[@karlpiepenburg3157]

Touching heartfelt lyrics, great vocals, driving rhythm and lead guitar and percussion, and an amazingly tight band

[@dennehy69]

Just saw them a week ago and they still sound fantastic. Don Barnes totally rocks...then AND now. Looks great, sounds great. Loved the show.

[@austinchappell76]

One of my all time favorite songs and groups of the 80s! Live or recorded!👏👏👏

[@elizabethmcclure6694]

Love

[@KG-wz5ml]

These guys like so many others , considered "Southern Rock", never got the recognition they really deserved. With exception... Leonard Skinard. These guys can really bring it ... Even now.

[@mitt8360]

One of the best concerts I’ve ever been too

[@rjtexaschopper]

This song really touches something in my heart.

[@melanieabalos7192]

Mine too

[@MB-ke9mi]

Wow a real singer. No damn autotune.

[@sherrytrenner9452]

I used to request this song plus a few others from 38 Special back in the 80's and 90's , from our local radio station . Love them still and always will !!!!! Don sounds excellent, as usual !

If I'd Been the One. I'm a one man band on youtube.

[@AtheosThinker]

I'm 58, so the music was part of my youth...always well crafted, accessible....this song...the line "What if I'd been the one to say goodbye"....one of the best lines in a pop/rock song....before I knew I was hard of hearing, I thought the lyric was "Twenty-five and I want to say goodbye" then in the second chorus "Forty-five and I want to say good bye"....of course, later learned the correct lyric, but I ironic maybe the meaning is similar? Thanks for the great music.

[@johnt.4947]

I'm ten years older, and this song was part of my coming into adulthood. When it came out in 84, I was married and my first daughter was born. A nice time in my life. BTW; do yourself a favor, and never again refer to 38 Special as a pop/rock band. 😎

Memories of the 80's

If I'd Been the One. I'm a one man band on youtube.

[@billreid1071]

My favorite band...

[@1Rockdad]

I've seen them a few times. The antics of Donny on stage is worth the ticket for the entertainment.

[@BLKBETE11]

So impressive.. Don Barnes seems to get better with age.. The drummer is a complete beast..

[@jdstarns30]

The drummer is Gary "Madman" Moffat. He lost his wife a number of years ago to cancer.

[@bradman1961]

The drummer picked up the tempo after a few measures. I don't like when a drummer does that.

[@JohnJohn-ir5hw]

It's stiff... not all "on the drummer" and very easy to have happen, especially in these day of digital drums and with "fragile" grooves such as this. The man is obviously a very skilled drummer/musician...happens with the best.

[@reese7299]

I just want to know did everyone stop singing and playing similar music where has all the good music gone to???? 💖

[@ralphhartsoe8163]

Timeless beyond great songs and band.... Thank you 38 special!

[@JolienCeusters]

Love this Southern999x timeless ,thanks to my dad!!

[@robjleis3]

dons voice is still awesome...just saw them...unsure of ur comment...but they sound very sharp and tight on stage...dons voice is freakin fantastic considering he began over 40 years ago...glad you like though!!

[@SherryLedford-fl9et]

2023 still listening 🎶 🎉❤

[@tmklunk]

Barnes is so underrated

[@johnt.4947]

Great talent. He hasn't lost too much over the years.

[@MichaelSkinnerMusic]

Great song, well played!!

[@jorgeaguiar5279]

One of my top two favorite rock singers of all time but what the hell? How can that voice get so bad?

[@willgoldtop3458]

Don Barnes is the man!!

[@garyjohnson1392]

No shit...What I was just thinkin... Such a great singer , songwriter , axeman...!!

[@michaeltaylor7660]

Absolutely great!!

[@edwall6822]

saw them years ago...Bon Jovi actually opened the show.....friggin awesome

[@petersnerdly]

Don Barnes sounds as good as ever!

[@quincyolson9099]

So Bad Ass.... love it.

[@vd3364]

Their best song, IMO.

[@TonyGarza-e9v]

Rock Royalty❤

[@RICREYNOLDSMUSIC]

Should have joined them when I had the chance. Could have given so many hits.

[@kistthesky]

Some things get better with age...38 surpassed that idea all to hell and proves perfection

[@nenafabela7538]

Still s Great Song!

[@mariomuccino6040]

AWESOME BAND AND SONG

[@willisjessical]

Perfection

[@fusium]

The best song for sure

[@haroldmurray2503]

My red Jaguar SS100 replicar was used in their rock video.

[@louiszippittelli9345]

I saw them in 84 and c the videos for today's days sorry guys retire they just do not sound the same at all anymore

[@kaohsiung99]

Your wife told me the same thing about you.....

[@MikeCoggan]

@@kaohsiung99 the other answer is don't see them live or watch current videos, stick to the albums. We all age, I have seen them numerous times and have never been disappointed

[@scottykei5608]

yeah!

[@rocknbluesrock]

But it just goes on forever

[@TennisGuyFL]

Yeah, Don Barnes wrote that song. Keep on rockin', DB.

[@DoubtingDaoist]

Great song! Thanks for posting!

[@crabbymccrabface3658]

This looks EXACTLY like where and when I saw them... The Cleveland Agora, in '94.

[@jaylkeene8236]

''Did you think I'd just give up''? ...

[@w.k.koogle9101]

+Jay L Keene Yes... that is the key phrase to the whole song. And the song is a gem!

best break up song

[@1Rockdad]

You spoke truth there. It certainly was mine back in the day

[@gboard17]

Wouldn't mind playing bass in this band. I'm a one man band on youtube.

[@Southern999x]

you're welcome

[@Raguler]

This sounds like elec mans theme

[@lidell56]

That's my wife.

[@corywebster8636]

Van Zandt is like the dancer from the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Brings nothing to the band..... Just there on stage.

[@windk100]

Why the hate against Donnie Van Zandt? He has a wireless and this well-seasoned guitar player of 25 years hears that acoustic in there.

[@2AChef-n-BBQ]

I guess you have to understand that Donnie did a lot of the harmony vocals and lead vocals. He is a much more integral part of the band than you give him credit for.

[@jaylkeene8236]

I've always figured they gave him a guitar that wasn't plugged...

[@2AChef-n-BBQ]

Jay Keene Donnie and Don Barnes started the band and wrote most of the music.

[@jaylkeene8236]

Musiclogic Agreed, still...I don't think his guitar is plugged in... Like Claus from the Scorpions, he strums a guitar form a couple songs too, but it ain't plugged in

[@pumkinmunchkin]

Donnie van zant is fakin the guitar. lol the guitar is muted.
