When we were young and it first came out, it had a different meaning, as we have aged its taken a new turn. As you look at it in a different light and perspective. Its always Love .

[@macbeavers6938]

Mick said this song came to him at 3 am apparently from "a higher power". Just as Lou Gram was to begin recording the final cut for this song a beautiful woman appeared in the studio apparently out of nowhere. Lou said her presence was a great motivator for this final version of the song. Upon completion the beautiful woman was gone?!

[@annievalentine6642]

Awesome.. even after all these years, I still wanna know what Love is .. I still want them to show me ! I could never get tired of listening to this song which always brings me back my beautiful, golden days. I still wanna feel it .. 💋💋💋

Kelly you have an incredible voice and if I had never heard Lou Gramm sing that song you would have been the voice going down in history. I’m glad that your able to continue the great songs of Foreigner.

"In my life, there's been heartache & pain, I don't know if i can face it again ! I've travelled so far to change this lonely life .." I wanna know what Love is !!

All these comments about comparing the current to the original...you know what, life goes on. Being replaced doesn't mean the new guy has to be better, or worse, than the former. It just means the group wants to move on. Change is inevitable. Let's just enjoy the wonderful music that we are witnessing here.

During the original release of all their big songs you never know which one will be a consummate and powerful love song

[@terry21651]

This song was number 1 all over the world because the original lead vocalist Lou Gramms voice made it famous. Lou could bring tears to you eyes when he sang this song...Lou had soulful voice filled with so much emotion. This man is good but will never touch the famous voice of Lou Gramm. Lou could sing the house down and bring you to your knees.....His voice almost operatic in nature and he had a range and vocals that were unbelievable......when that choir sang with Lou you felt like you were in Church...After Lou went through brain surgery in 1997 to save his life and then was able to sing it again years later...It was emotional for Lou and anyone else listening. God Bless Lou Gramm

[@terry21651]

Kim Smith Your statement is true regarding how Lou felt about the song . It is not documented anywhere that the band broke up because of his feelings about the song. My statements concerned the successfulness of the song. Lou Graham had one of the best rock voices in Rock and Roll history. This ballad will stand the test of time. Here it is 2017 and there is proof of that as we are still listening to it today. Thank you for your comment. At the height of his career Lou could sing the phone book and it would become a hit. It is a blessing that his dislike of the song did not interfere with its success.

I first heard this song as luck would have it on 14Feb85 in the lounge at the Ramada Inn located in Anniston, Al while on an off post, overnight pass one week before graduating A.I.T. in Ft. McClellan. The prettiest young lady asked me to dance to it and I'll never forget her, or that night. It was pure magic and I felt like a king for the night. Don't worry, I was a perfect gentleman and knowing I may never see her again we said our goodbyes and parted with a little kiss on the cheek. It was a welcome relief from the two biggest pains in my rear that I had endured for the past 15 weeks and yes, I would do it again! Great song unplugged!
