My stepdad died October 2, 2024, after a long battle with early onset dementia. He loved music up to the very end. One of the last things he asked me to do was learn how to play this song on his guitar, which I never managed to do before he died. After the funeral (which was on a Friday), I went out to the lake at midnight, where I could see nothing but stars for miles, and I played this song. Right as the song ended, I saw a shooting star. I play this song every Friday night in his honor, and plan to do so for a while. And I still plan to learn it on his guitar, too.

So glad my older brother introduced me to Chicago by buying me their greatest hits back around 1975. I was 13. I was hooked but I never told him. He died a few years ago at 70 yrs old. He did eventually know I liked them but they became my favorite band when I finally "grew up" into my 40s Lol. They are still my favorite band. Though I mostly listen to gospel music now I cant seem to put these guys away for good. They are in my blood and it gives me good memories of my brother. My crazy brother that I loved dearly bought a Pacer in 75. He taught me how to ride his Honda motorcycle and took me to Taco Bell for my very first time. He served in Vietnam. He came home and was kind of a hippie Lol. I wish he were still around but I will see him again in Heaven. They have different music up there but I'm good with that! You know why? They got horns! Lol And it glorifies God. Sorry for rambling. Felt good though.

Jerry, this song brings me memories of my brother also. I am 80 this month and my brother was seven years younger than me and our dad got us both into playing music in his band in our early teens. After I bought Chicago 2 in 1970 and my brother and I sat in my mom's living room floor and listened to it for a couple of hours, including hearing 25 or 6 to 4 about a dozen times, this became my favorite record since then. At least 3 or 4 mornings a week, I go on KZbin and listen to it really loud so my neighbors can hear it. It always energizes me as soon as that opening bass and guitar starts up the intro. My brother passed away from cancer in 2016, and I always think of him when I hear it because the lyrics describe perfectly how he and I stayed up all night writing and recording our songs, then as the sun came up, we would be standing there with headphones on smiling at each other as we listened to what we had created together. I miss my brother, but this musical masterpiece brings me closer to him whenever I hear it.

My biggest regret was not going to see these guys perform at the City hall, Newcasle upon Tyne in 69 or was it 1970. Amazingly loads of empty seats on the day. Despite that I've been a fan since this album was released.
