OMG, I’m 56 years old and listen to music all the time……but this is first time I’ve ever heard this, what a perfect song. The music is so in the groove that you almost miss the fantastic lyrics about the changes in a relationship over many years. This is proof positive you don’t need a 10 piece band to make awesome music. Don’t get me started on that guitar solo either, I can’t stop listening to this. Anyone else fall in love with this song the first time they heard it?

[@TheMinecraftOasis]

also fell in love with this song instantly, been coming back to it for years! :)

OK guys, I’m 66 years old, a baby boomer. I lived through the best music ever made. However I sometimes pick up on a song that is so awesome I can’t stop listening to it. I heard this song on the radio probably about 10 years ago. The DJ didn’t say the name of the song or the band playing it so I called the station to find out because I was so impressed. This live version is just as awesome as the original recorded version. As Todd says, the message is bittersweet but the music itself for some reason it’s uplifting to me. And I smile when I hear it. The guitar hooks you from the beginning of the song you can’t help but want to hear the rest of it. I love the vocals and the guitar is played smooth and sexy. No rhythm guitarist, Todd does it all. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you Todd.

Please tell me that didn't take place at Don Ho's. (The beach-front bar may no longer exist. I was last thrown out of there in the early 80s. But I left with an ounce of Kona Gold. Totally worth it.)

[@davidg.9932]

@@BuckFiddy5 I should have been more clear. BHTM were playing the Blue Note - Waikiki. Back in the day, I used to work for a production company in Denver, so we kinda know a lot of the same people from the old days. In the 80's I would have killed for some Kona Gold.

One of the greatest songs ever written, in my opinion and they sound awesome live. I'm not trying to oversell it or anything, but I've played this song so loud that I was certain I'd go deaf afterward. Knowing it was the last thing I'd ever hear, the hearing loss was trivial to me.
