Such a simple yet beautiful love song. Thank you Wreckless Eric for recklessly writing a 2 chord song

[@ianyoung7077]

The greatest love song ever. If someone ever manages to pick the universe apart and find out how it works, I'm sure this song and the Eric and Amy love story will be at the heart of it. Fucking magic.

[@StevieBunch]

Aye this an Hit And Miss Judy

[@barrymoon9028]

A song of my life. When it was released I was deeply affected. This song has meant so much through so much of my life and suppose it always will.... blame the romantic I am....... joy and happiness to you both. love forever.

[@evergreennugz477]

Good man

[@paulbalogh4582]

Priceless & timeless as it was 40 yrs ago. ❤️

[@MrBill2719]

I've loved this song for a long time. Just discovering Amy, and loving her music as well. I don't know if Eric went the whole wide world to find 'er, but it was well worth the effort.

[@oneeyedman99]

This song has been covered by dozens of artists, including some pretty well-known names (Monkees, Green Day, Mental as Anything, Cage the Elephant). Someday someone will actually get on the radio with it, you can't hold down a song like this forever.

[@franceslothian1319]

Love this and - I wish it would rain. Simple but amazing songs sung right at you from the heart

[@silvinho821]

I worked for STIFF RECORDS for a while in the 70`s like Eric but his talent was not performing but getting pissed, this video gives you an idea of his talent.

[@seancurran6727]

Absolutely rocks ,and without the help of any drums or bass!

[@LedZep1574]

Fuck that gave me goosebumps. Great rendition.

[@susannahthewitchinthemirro8139]

Have loved the song since 1978 - still remember how I felt like I was exploring a whole new world unwrapping the album and admiring that magical cover with the Rickenbacker and the 'I'm a mess' badge...

[@MegaPeterod]

Just heard this song for the first time tonight, love it!

[@igronus]

Great song. One of main themes of my life.

[@FutureLegendRecords]

Excellent talent. How did it take us so long to hear about this talented singer song writer. Now there are two female singers we love the other one being Eleanor.!

[@lamper2]

It'd be nice if someone turned her mic on!

[@eddie96288]

That was absolutey amazing by the way ...

[@markthompson1819]

[@julesfsd5382]

Fucking love this fucking song.

[@StevieBunch]

Ah the memories. Brilliant

[@intherein]

This is very sweet.

[@shirleypena4133]

With his wife by his side here co-performing this anthem to loneliness and longing it kinda chokes the heart and soul outta this timeless classic, IMHO. :(

[@blm2357]

He's old and gray now. It would be sad if he never found out where they hide her.

[@elizabethwood199]

It's the happy ending he was hoping for.

[@BackToTheBlues]

Bless him, sounds just the same and took me right back to another time, everything was still exciting and new things were happeneing in music without all the hype and pre-planning and manipulation there is now. Great stuff, thanks Eric, and Fists for posting it!

[@rodjones7437]

[@stephensherry7236]

It's not about the song, it's about Amy. Such talent from such a petite body.

[@MarkkuKoljonenwTinja]

:D

[@EvanSiegel54]

Remember when it first came out. Always felt it was underappreciated. Why didn't he write more? Sing more? This was kind of the Stiff Records anthem for me.
