Songwriter Dave Richardson co wrote this song after his then girlfriend (and first wife) returned from her shift as a Nurse after losing 2 of her patients that night. He heard her crying in another room and it was the impetus to write this song. What a great song it is! RIP Dave Richardson/Donny Gerrard.

[@jethro1963]

The other day I read an article (that I now can't find) that IIRC said that David Foster was ready to quit music just before his first wife BJ Cook organized Skylark. The noted hit maker and music director Rosalie Trombley of CKLW Windsor (and Detroit area) steered the song to the top of the charts. Many years later, Skylark lead singer Donny Gerrard lent vocals to producer Foster's Canadian contribution to African relief Tears are Not Enough. Speaking of which Tears are Not Enough should have a reaction. The making of Tears are Not Enough is quite interesting, Mike Reno of Loverboy steals the show as a good Canadian boy. Jay's favourite Corey Hart came aross pretty good as well.

[@SaverioP]

I heard a totally different story.

[@pluckinmageetar]

@@SaverioP This is the popular story....but you never know.

[@zanhar7688]

Dave Richardson was a police officer in a municipality local to me - he died in 2019. David Foster is also a local celebrity. I live in Victoria BC.😊 And yes, the story is true...

[@mickdenis6630]

Dave Richardson didn't hear her crying in the other room. He stopped by her apartment, they were supposed to go on a date that night. They talked about her day and she excused herself, to go to get ready for their date. He sat watching television, after a while he realized that it had been a while, he went and opened the door to her room and found her on the bed sleeping. He covered her with a blanket, and decided that after her rough day, he would just go home. He went home and wrote the song. Thus the line in the song - "be careful how you touch her, for she'll awaken...and sleeps the only freedom that she knows." The Wildflower is considered by many to be the beginning (first) power ballad.

[@beeseewill2407]

One of the top 10 most beautiful songs ever.Lyrically,musically,and production wise.Just all around a masterpiece.

[@ChuckHackney]

Hard to argue, another 70s masterpiece courtesy of David Foster, modern music's master impressario. This singer's voice is so powerful and soulful. Indeed, one of the most beautiful songs ever.

[@ChuckHackney]

The arrangement of this song is mesmerizing. Music at its very finest, courtesy of the most magical music decade, the 1970s.

[@remmymafia3889]

here in 2024, after two divorces, and at 69 yrs old, I connected with an old schoolmate, who just lost her husband/partner of almost 40 yrs. She's battling the loss hard, and is slowly coming back. I pray for her, and dedicate this lovely song to her.

[@subwaygoddess1]

When this song came out, I was a very lonely, hurt teenager who had trouble living life. This song is me, it was me, at age 16. I wondered who it was who could see inside my soul and write these lyrics. The music is haunting and hypnotic. This song will always be special to me. I'm so happy you reacted to this beautiful song. Thank you, and thank you for loving it. ✌️💙🎶

[@michaelasay8587]

I think I was looking for you, at roughly the same age. This song always resonated with me.

@MisterWondrous and we have survived! Whenever I hear a simple song like "Blackbird" by the Beatles, I think, "Yeah, I took those broken wings and learned to fly." Good for us.

This man’s voice is unbelievable! A great song ❤

[@user-pq9zc3uc7m]

I requested this a couple of years ago. So glad you got to it. Had a picture-music montage for my wife's funeral and this was the second song. This WAS her life. Impossible to think how someone could bear all that she did before we met and still be so sweet, loving, and innocent. Thank you for the mist in my eyes.

[@judyparks5016]

Hugs to you. ❤

[@judyparks5016]

What a beautiful comment. It sounds like she finally got the love she deserved. ❤

Idk what to say. Compelled to say something. My heart goes out to u. She was beautiful. By ur comment, no doubt. Much peace to u. 🧡❤️💚

[@user-pq9zc3uc7m]

TY. Your name made me respond. Her dad's nickname for her was Lulubell. She had been raped at 12 and left unable to have children. She had been physically, emotionally, and financially abused by most of the men in her early life. her soul was STILL so pure. I lost her almost 8 years ago and still love her more each day. The amazing thing is, she loved me back.@@Cindrbell

[@shapeach]

So beautiful! I cried after reading your post. I'm so sorry for your tremendous loss, it doesn't get easier each day, it just changes. I pray you are moving through your journey with a little more joy each day. ❤

[@StarLTaylor]

One "like" is just not enough for this masterpiece. Gorgeous! ❤

[@neeshac]

"Be careful how you touch her, for she'll awaken And sleep's the only freedom that she knows And when you walk into her eyes, you won't believe The way she's always paying For a debt she never owes.." 😢 Everytime!! Beautiful, heartrending lyrics. I saw and felt you hearing and understanding those lyrics, Amber ❤

Almost criminal that this has less than 20k views after two weeks! Such a powerful, polished, and beautiful song!

[@markwatson450]

David Foster was part of this band and has since gone on to be a huge successful composer / producer with many grammys to his name. He is currently married to Kathrine McFee. (a good song on female friday would be Katherine doing "Somewhere" with David on the piano). Donny Gerrard was the vocalist and passed away at 75 last year. This is a great song! Thanks - Mark

Great song, great vocals from 1973. The 70s were the best decade❤❤❤❤

[@bluedeuce100]

I couldn't agree with you more. Blessed to grow up in the 70's.

[@debramyer6055]

I was 13 when I first heard this song. My parents divorced when I was nine. My dad left for his first tour of three tours he would have in Vietnam. My mom did a great job with four kids. My oldest brother went to live with my grandparents to helpthem out and my momma took us to Colorado. Me and my younger brother and sister missed our home but myom did an Awesome job. This song has always reminded me of her since I was 13. She died this year. I miss her like crazy. I have lost my daughter, my mom, my dad and my younger brother and sister. This song brings back all those changes and sweet memories.

The most beautiful song ever. The lyrics, his voice, everything. When it came out in 1972 i cried listening to it. Today i cried again. This always happens. It comes so close to home. Thnx guys❤❤

…beautiful, heartfelt vibes that tell the story of my life 💔 …and oh that guitar!!

[@Teresia12]

Mine too but I didn't want to say it. ✌️❤️🦋

[@ZebraDazzle66]

I had suggested this song a few times over the last few years. I was 6 when it came out. As a kid, I just thought it was a sad song. Fast forward 35 years and my sister was trying to remember the name of the song. So I Googled some of the lyrics and found the title and remembered how much I liked the song. Eight years later, I was diagnosed with a rare incurable genetic disease that would require me to do weekly treatments for the rest of my life. Ten months after that I was diagnosed with leukemia. I now have multiple incurable diseases. I listen to this song several nights a week as it now has a deep personal meaning to me. Honestly, it feels like I have lived each verse of this song over and over. “She's faced the hardest times, you could imagine And many times her eyes fought back the tears And when her youthful world, was about to fall in Each time her slender shoulders Bore the weight of all her fears And a sorrow no one hears Still rings in midnight silence, in her ears.” Thank you for this reaction. ❤

[@tmssame13]

Sending positive thoughts to you ❤

[@theevagabondpoet]

Hey there Zeeb'.....your story has me heartbroken. I pray that every day you wake up you feel blessed by God and feel His grace and hugs. You bear many arrows, Zeeb'. Don't give in to the sad facts, but rise up and see God for who He is and how your story can help someone heal. Peace. eric

[@chuckhutton5087]

God Bless you and yours during this Holiday season, Zebra. I was touched by your story and truly pray for God’s restorative powers for you.

[@DrewG-wd8ql]

Holy cow! I haven't heard this song in at least 40 years. Back in the old days, 7-11 use to sell albums and had the current top 40 hits on them and I bought one that had this song on it. Great choice and thanks for bringing back a pretty good memory for me.

A very under rated classic. Donny Gerrard was a guy with a bit of stage fright, but man o man he could sing.. his timbre is very unique, so glad you to got to experience this great tune. Band named matched his quality - joyously divine.

[@ThePiccoloRocks]

Y’all, this song has always been a favorite of mine. Makes me teary but gosh it is so beautiful! Thank you! 🙏🏻❤️

One of the best songs ever. The live version on the Midnight Special is magical. RIP Donny Gerard.

[@chuckhutton5087]

Skylark is a one-hit wonder, but what a hit! Beautiful and soulful, remember it being huge in early 70’s when released. Played often by AM radio stations, but musically needed FM for the melody and guitar work. Sweet, awesome song and reaction. Donny Gerrard’s voice was outstandingly powerful and so very soulful. His voice is reminiscent of Teddy Pendergrass or Luther Vandross. I’m surprised he didn’t have other hits.

[@justjack0715]

I'm over 60 years old and these lyrics still send shivers down my spine. How these guy's are a one-hit-wonder is a mystery to me.

I first heard the New Birth version of this song back in 1973 when I was 10 years old. I have never forgotten this song. Another song from New Birth is dream merchant. It’s from the same time period. It’s funny how some songs really get to you even though you’re only 10 years old.

[@32a34a]

Doug Edwards's guitar work on this is simply sublime.

[@lepoetress]

This song is fire and the gentleman singing, if I'm not mistaken, recently passed away. I recall seeing about his passing online. New Birth and The Ojays have good versions of this song too

[@katyland1015]

I was a ROCK-n-ROLLER in my youth. And my youth was a LONG time ago. However, I remember when this song came out, and I was STUNNED by how beautiful it was. It was nothing like what I would have normally listened to, but I was spellbound by every aspect of the song. Incredible singer, great guitar work, fantastic arrangement. And the emotion it delivered was overwhelming. This song made me pause, and reconsider just how narrow my listening choices were. I was ignoring so many great songs out there, from ALL different genres. This song opened a door, to the REST of the music universe, for me. I am glad you found it.

[@gtrgar4561]

The guitar player and composer of the music for "Wildflower" was Doug Edwards. Doug also played Bass for another Vancouver based band "Chilliwack". 🎸😎

[@doloresbellini6452]

Back in 1973 my sister turned 18, and a good friend sang this song to her and it became her song. She really was a wildflower, beautiful, gentle, and free. Less than 4 years later she was taken from us by violence, 10 days before her 22nd birthday, her birthday would have been 7-7-77 that year. For years our family couldn't listen to this song, it hurt too much. 46 years later it still leaves me in tears because of how closely the lyrics describe her. She was slender, had so many bad things happen to her, and sleep really was the only freedom she knew for the longest time. We are all consoled because we know she was finally happy when she was taken from us. Thank you for your lovely reaction to this beautiful and touching song.

[@mildredpierce4506]

I remember hearing the New Birth version of this song in 1973 when I was 10 years old. Sorry to hear about your sister passing away at such a young age

[@dexterwilliams7710]

One Of Favorite Songs,Ever!! You Two Are So Wonderful and Enjoyable!!

[@cristobalvalladares973]

Omg one of my all time favorites. I read that it was written by man dating a nurse. She had lost a patient during her shift. He did not want to disturb her brief moment of sleep. When we fell in love in 70s, we fell hard. There was more vulnerability in men's music back then than now. Oh how I pray this expressiveness comes back. Thanks young people.

[@paulwalker9421]

We did have so many great musicians and songs back then of many genres ! Loved this song. thank you

[@mariaportengen2959]

I think this is one of the most beautiful love songs of all. Still gives me goosebumps. 🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️

[@BillGraper]

Ok, now I have ESP. I was just thinking about this rare gem about an hour ago. Skylark was an interracial group, and a one-hit wonder in the USA. This went to #9 in 1973.

[@rickashworth7304]

So glad you decided to honor such a beautiful song!!! You have yet to explore Toronto's Amanda Marshall who entered the music scene in the mid - to - late 90's... Her successes are "Let it Rain", "Beautiful Goodbye", "Believe in You", and my favorite lyrics "If I Didn't Have You".

[@chuckl4964]

Agreed! Give the people what they want, peeps! 🙏

[@justajo2]

My wife was going through a tough time When this came out. I was giving all I could to help and this song helped me. She didn't listen to much pop music and so I don't think she ever heard this. So now that she's gone (breast cancer in 1997) it makes me even sadder.

[@scottian1462]

Donny Gerrard passed last year, and is the one giving us those SWEET and SOULFUL vocals on this BEAUTIFUL, TIMELESS song!

[@joelmartin-zi7ti]

“Man” I’d almost forgotten about this one and that almost feels like a sin cause man, every time that song would come on the radio, me and most everyone else who was around would say “Awe man I love this song 🤭😆 When y’all were about to start rollin’ it, I was thinking I know I’m gonna know this one just because of the the band name and the title and that picture also rang a bell! I don’t know if I saw it in the record store or what but it looked familiar as well! But as soon as I heard the first few notes I was like “OH YEAH THAT ONE!!!!”🤣 That’s always been one of “the most” beautiful love songs I’ve ever heard to this day!! Thanks a bunch for that one y’all!!! ❤✌️🫶🎶

[@kevincaulder20]

Quite simply, it is one of the best records ever produced. The voice, the music, and the sentiment all collide with a message of love that should be an example to all of us. It correctly pronounces the words of someone deeply in love with their person. It's too bad this kind of love has been forever lost in the past. We certainly could use some these days. Watching Jay sink down in his chair as the song progressed tells me he has someone in mind. Amber, perhaps? Yes, it describes her soft, gentle, and warm nature to a tee. Thanks, guys, for sharing a part of your relationship and time with us.

I am with you Sister.

[@waltw4537]

Beautiful song. An anthem for us. Thanks. Aww, Amber.. Nice reaction.

[@theevagabondpoet]

This song is one of my top ten of all time. Just beautiful from the first note to the last. The first time I heard it back in the '70s I was stunned. From then on, it was one of my favorites. I could relate to the lyrics having a rough childhood myself, but after I met my soulmate, and later learned of her exceedingly hard childhood, and think of how well she's fought back the tears, I just break down each time I hear it. And, Amber, I saw how you took it all in, how the lyrics affected you. You are such a soft soul and perhaps you are an empath like my Roo, because you react so deeply with so many songs. It is very endearing and attractive. And Jay, you are a guy, we know, but you have a soft soul as well, these past two years of watching you open up that heart and ease into these slow, used-to-be-boring songs, it shows just how sweet a guy you are and that is very attractive as well. Your children are fortunate to have the both of you in their lives. If only God could grant all of mankind to have parents like you. Open, grounded, not afraid to say you don't know or you made a mistake. You have no idea how special that is! Love just oozes from you two and each song I watch with you I am smiling and/or crying. God Bless you.

Donny Gerarrd had a magical voice; so soulful, but sadly he died not long ago. Eventual producer extraordinaire David Foster was also a member of the group. I read Donny had tremendous stage fright and after Skylark, chose to do a lot of backup work.
