This man has been making stellar music for well over 40 years. He is one of the greatest voices in music history.

[@aldrinquerubin5327]

yap i love his voice too,one of my favorite from his songs is time alone with you

[@knoxieman]

I got all his CDs off my brother back in 1986 and have just loved this man ever since, how can a voice stay so perfect over all these years, we are truly blessed to still have John touring in 2023, without doubt one of the best most enduring rock voices ever.

Neglecting us here in the UK, would love to see John live, been a fan for many years!

[@edithkeller9694]

Yes definitely!!!

[@waltermirren7957]

The man gets older (as we all do) but the voice never ages.

[@waltermirren7957]

Walter Mirren I don't understand why classic rockers hire "wet behind the ears" nameless children to appear in their videos. John Waite is WAY WAY WAY above these emo children.

[@waltermirren7957]

I do not think it is the artists who make the decision in most cases. John Waite is a solo artist - his albums are full of brilliant musicians who might just be butt ugly. The studios hire pretty boys to appear in the videos. I could be wrong - I usually am - but that has been my experience.

[@waltermirren7957]

Still, what a f*cking voice.

[@blehman18066]

+Walter Mirren - I believe these guys were his touring band... They were in several live performances that I saw..

[@lisellesloan3191]

+Walter Mirren Excuse me! You are ageist, but in the reverse! Luis Maldonado and Tim Hogan are both fine and experienced musicians! Luis even co-wrote "Rough and Tumble." Tim has been playing professionally since he was 15! I think both are at least in their thirties. In case you hadn't noticed, rock music was invented by young people, and so why SHOULDN'T they be included?! If these younger men help Mr. Waite bring in new, young fans, more power to him!

[@monetmcintyre5392]

I've known JOHN WAITE for many many many years . He is an incredibly sweet man . I've never grown tired of him . He has the lovely voice of an angel .

[@ernestdigioia8524]

I do hospitality at an Illinois venue he has played several times,attended to his needs and yes,John is like a soul mate to me as wel.I met him even before I worked hospitality.As a fellow musician he has been a top five influence for me. I have had conversations him several times and yes,he is a kind and gentle soul......Waite's stuff is unparalleled in my opinion partly because it's from the heart and his vocal style makes it discernible which is not typical in Western pop or rock music.

John has always known how to make a song sounds like sweet rock and roll. Why can't more music today follow his recipe for what music is all about...

Another, non-love song that is so endearing. Simple lyrics sometimes can't put the best inflections into complex feelings

Only someone that has experienced a real broken heart, will understand that love is not just for young adults. The incredible amount of love it takes to wish someone well in a new life without you; is another dimension beyond "sex, drugs, & rock' n roll." Devastating.

[@PaulCaruso53]

If I had to narrow it down he’s my favorite male rock vocalist. There are more power voices out there but he has plenty of that too., and nobody can match his sense of melody and nuance and his vocal timbre is unique. No other singer sounds like him, he was born with this magical gift.

[@jeffrogers3782]

Some people come in & out of our lives for certain reasons. There's usually at least a few that leave a lasting footprint, and if we're lucky 1 that will have a place in our heart always. Afre 20 years my marriage fell apart, and for 2 years I feel as you do. Miss her, and still "totally" in love with her. It may hurt, but we're lucky - some have never found true love, and know that feeling. Be well...

Beautiful beautiful song from a true legend. Missing you is one of the songs that has been in my emotions since it was all over MTV in the 80's. It always moves me both for the lyrics and for John's voice which goes right to my heart, just like in this song. He sings with so much true feeling you know what he sings is real.

This melancholy song expresses the tender feelings of love that was not to be. Love John Waite. Sometimes it is too hard to understand why things self-destruct. Very sad. But stitches the raveled selves of love & heart aches as much as the pain will allow.

[@peace-and-quiet]

My absolute favorite! For some reason this song resonates deeply and I get a little emotional every time. I can't explain the power it has. I guess you just have to feel it. ❤️ you, John! My husband and I caught your show in Lodi, CA last June (2022). Don't know who was responsible for the PR, but they should be fired! The Grand Theater in Tracy, CA has been VERY successful for Y&T and 38 Special. I hope more bands/ artists come around. Best wishes, God bless! ✝️❤️

[@ka8iedawg]

It may have been out awhile, but this song is still as lovely as ever. I think we all need to hear the 'sound of someone's voice who loves you' from time to time. Reminds me of a good friend of mine who was there for me when I was going through a rough time. He hugged me and was letting me cry on his shoulder. Then, he said 'See that tree, you are like that tree.' Just what every woman wants...to be compared to a tree! I had to stop crying and laughing, until I heard the rest of his words that comforted me. Hope that 'sound of someone's voice' does not start comparing you to a tree. Then again, maybe being compared to a tree is a good thing. For tree bark on the outside of a tree may be weak. On the inside, oak trees have especially strong hearts. Thus, they weather the elements. They weather the elements like each of us must from time to time. Thus, perhaps we are all trees..at some time, in some ways. That 'sound of someone's voice who loves you' may be giving the best advice you have ever gotten. :-) Thus, this song is lovely.
