Safire - Thinking of You

[@BillGraper]

This is one of those songs that you had to be alive at the time. The youth of today may know the songs that still play regularly, but they miss the hidden gems like this.

What a classic. This brings back some great high school memories for me. This was a time when music was a lot better and the world was a safer place. I wish that I could go back to the 80's and stay there.

[@logik316]

petewheeler72 the 80’s were safer? You’re probably not from the NYC area. The Bronx and Manhattan were a cesspool of crime back then.

The guitarist earns his dollar on this recording. The whole sound was engineered beautifully. She had quite a unique tone as a vocalist. Eyebrows for days - what a beautiful woman. I would’ve loved this song in its day. I’ve only just discovered this gem. I’m 53. I’ll be playing this regularly. Love and bless you all.

Not laughable at all. if anything, it reminds us how special certain songs can be to a person. This song can be interpreted however and to whoever you want.

Shortly after it came out she perished. On July 19th 1989 she became one of the 111 people to die on United Flight 232. She brought out the best in me, and I will never let go of that. So I remember, and honor her when I play this song.
