Loved this song ever since I discovered it here on KZbin in 2014. This definitely should've been a hit when it came out in early 1997. I love the melody, lyrics, Greg's soaring voice on the chorus, and the mid 90s style production. Noel Haggard's "Once You Learn" is another great song I discovered around the same time that also should've been a hit.

Still listening in 2019

Me too. I don't understand how this wasn't a huge hit.

@@seanraye4278 really? you don't?!? the lyrics are satisfactory, at best. But every other components of the song (the melody, rhythm form, verse, chorus, bridge, tempo, and even timbre) are ranging from bad to worse. There is 1 component of the song that was clearly the best imo and my favorite. The outro

@@e.perkins6010 Well said Eliza. I also agree Sean. This has always been a favorite of mine.
