I wish music like this was still made. Days gone by....

[@Nivram92]

Nowadays... to be like that means to go through a load of shit... Most people just go with the flow and the ones showing heart become outsiders and are kinda getting blamed for being like that. Money and fame rule the WHOLE world, human heart and instincts matter less and less. It's just my opinion but I'm pretty sure of it - Day X will come...

[@thebrokenheartedcowboy8780]

I must make you notice a fact: you should have written "I wish MUSIC WAS still made" Nowadays trash can't be called music

Thanks 500 times for this beautiful song. Am I getting old ..... or is 80's music unsurpassed? Is there anyone else you would like to return to at 80's?

If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles A hundred miles, a hundred miles A hundred miles, a hundred miles You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name And the land that I once loved was not my own Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two, Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home A hundred tanks along the square One man stands and stops them there Some day soon, the tide will turn, and I'll be free I'll be free, I'll be free, I'll come home to my country Some day soon the tide will turn and I'll be free If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two, Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home

A hundred tanks along the square, one man stands and stops them there. Most young people in my country don't even know what happened that day 😢😢.

Hold on. It all will end. Your gov has way much more secrets than you think. Ignorance kills, Tim. I hope you and your people will find the way to tear that regime down and gain back the freedom you deserve. Talking as an European teenager, I'd say that we youngsters must learn to claim our rights. Imagine if your people would do this... something spectacular as the Berlin Wall Fall.. wish you the best!!! And most of all, be the wind, not the grass that gets folded under it!

Here I stand. In a town along an highway, alone, listening to this song and surrounded by strangers. Thinking about me, about them, the roads we walked and that led us to here, knowing we'll never meet again. Every person has a story, and it's some kind of sadness in seeing how many they are😶

I hope in your life that you have found happiness and love. If you see two people walking down the street and one has no legs you know there has been a grievous wound. But the other person, the one with both legs, may also be wounded. Psychic wounds are often not visible physically, but they are surely real.

"🎶A hundred tanks along the square One man stands and stops them there.🎶" Today is the thirtieth anniversary of Tianenmen Square.

[@Blessed-2-b-a-Hembree]

Rick Kilimun Peter, Paul and Mary originally recorded this as a folk song back in 1962. The Hooter’s added some lyrics and in my opinion made it a much better version. I don’t say that often. P, P & M are singing back up. I remember Tianenmen Square vividly.

The Hooters never got their due...outstanding music, in a cookie cutter music formula era.

[@ericbrokl7451]

Every generation is cookie cutter. Most labels play it safe by making the same music until that sound is wore out. Agree the Hooters didn't get their due. But maybe that's why we dug them and still do. The Hooters were a bit on the edge of the status quo. And honestly that's where I am, on the outside looking in. Music needs to reach our soul to impact us or we just stick with the fad music and switch to whatever everyone else is listening to. I agree with you 100% my friend.
