  • Great song.

  • Love This Song One of the Best 70s Song :)

  • his mustach is really handsome and he is too I like him and John Ford Coley both

  • @ambersalcove yea great music from john ford coley and england dan :D

  • I think what's on the radio now is just nasty pardon my remark I didn't mean to say that personally to anyone

  • Dan Seals, when he was known as England Dan, had long hair and before he grew a beard.

  • man i love this song. it kicks so much ass ! the 70s rule .

  • @joeduece1 i agree man :)

  • sure wish I could meet this singer 

  • @ambersalcove I wish you could as well...he died in 2009...RIP Dan!

  • I'm diggin the stash

  • Just simply brilliant!! Groups like this- Bread, 10cc and Rupert Holmes put out some great songs!!! But this group (England Dan & JF Coley) was always 1 of my top groups!

  • If you like this one, you should hear Dan Seals re-do it country style. Real nice.

  • Hello--and RIP Dan Seals

  • Just simply wonderful.  1976, what a year..

  • Rest In Peace, Dan...and thanks for the music!!

  • this song never die.

  • This has the most misintepreted chorus ever.Apparently theres no linen,,(are you sure?) change your mind,,one window, or stars are out.

    But what the hell man,.Its StilL a f-in gem.Long live England Dan.RIP.

  • CLASSIC <3

  • MODERN FAMILY <3

  • “It’s a sad day,” said Lehning. “He was like a brother to me. I can’t imagine a sweeter, gentler, kinder man. He was just a wonderful human being. It was always great fun being around him. We made some wonderful music together.”

  • R.I.P Dan. Super singer, great musician, and really a nice guy...great humanitarian Super feel from this song.

  • Dan recorded in our studio in Nashville in 97' super cool muso...My best friend Curt Ryle write Storm in the Heartland - Billy Ray Cyrus....but Donald Burns sang it better than Billy Ray..;-)

  • Comment removed

  • yah change the lyrics,, but thanks anyway cool to see bril musos in action

  • One night on the New Hampshire boarder, in a parking lot beside a Tour Bus, I had the experience of meeting Dan Seals.

    I asked him if he would sign my guitar, He said sure and asked what kind of guitar it was. I told him it was an Ibanez, and he replied with a smile that, that’s’ a good guitar. I watched as he signed the guitar. I thanked him, and told it had been a great show, I then shook his hand.

    I knew that I had just met the only honest man that was walkin’ this here Earth.

  • The 70s clothes and hairstyles are a little funny, but the song is a gem of an oldie.  Today's music can't compare to this.

  • i keep lookin this album since 1987, thanks GOD i hear and watch you back again, how happy i am today..........., thanks!!!!!!

  • I'm not talking about MOVIN' IN - obvious to anyone with a brain cell!

  • padrisimas canciones que me hacen recordar mis maravillosos años de mi dolescencia que pena ya no volvean etq,

  • lyrics are way off

  • @mjw9363 Could you you fill us in with right lyricks ?????

  • Comment removed

  • @musicman70splus You ca Google the correct lyrics in a matter of Seconds....it's not "ward" wind blowing silly..it's WARM wind...It's "we could go walking THROUGH a windy park"....not we could walkin to the windy park...It's "YOU see it really doesn't matter to me"..not "I see it really doesn't matter to me..... It's " I WON'T ASK for promises"...not, I'll hold out for promises.... it's .SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIE...not..but you don't have to lie. It's we both played THAT game before..not THE..

  • @mjw9363 I did google them this is where they came from I new warm instead of ward as I said in a early comment but thanls for the comment . Nice words though.

  • WOW...Dan, you sure had the 70's looks down pat..lol RIP buddy

  • Pure music those time...

  • Some of these comments are terrible....not everyone likes Rock, Classical, Rap, Country!!!! Thank Goodness!!!! Just like in marriage.....if we were both the same then one of us isn't needed!!!!! Remember to be tolerant of all......if it isn't your kind of music, etc....you always have the option of not watching it!!!

    Thanks for Posting it!!!! Brought back great memories when people were much more tolerant!!!! Too bad some won't ever know that time!!!!

  • "We both played that game before. Say 'I love you' then say goodbye!"

    Great line!

  • For many years I wondered what he was saying...Movin In...LOL... it could be Linen, Millennium and a few other sentences as well.

  • @Nootherlove1 LOL Now that you mentioned it, it does sound like he says millennium

  • @fogger00 That's what I thought he said for the last 20 years...LOL...it changes the whole song for me now....

  • Janie Fricke sang backup on it. Dan and John hit #2 in Billboard, 9-25-76. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! RIP, Dan.

  • I don't think this is just another case of one generation saying their music is better. There really is a “dumbing down” effect that has destroyed the quality of what kids listen to now, and it won't change as long as it is tolerated. If you're a parent, which song would you rather have your kids listen to?

  • You have to be as frank and offensive as possible now. "Sex on the beach. We've got white sand in our stilettos". That's fit for radio? I'm all for free speech, but no wonder why America is number one in teen pregnancies. There's a difference between romance and porno.

  • @Qopel we're not number one in teen pregnancy fool....and if you take out black people we are low actually....Try Africa..Mexico...the Philippines..and many other 3rd world countries numbskull

  • Now, how about the lyrics? Well, I guess they are both supposed to be about sex in some fashion. Sex sells, right? "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight" is almost like a story. It is clever because it uses the lyrics as a one-sided phone conversation. Words like "There's a warm wind blowing the stars around" create romantic images that people can relate to. On the other hand, "California Gurls" leaves nothing to the imagination. Metaphores and similes require too much thinking.

  • OK. Moving on to the songs themselves. Back in the 70's you actually needed some talent. You had to be able to sing without some kind of digital device fixing your voice. Real instruments also had to be used, not synthesized clones. Sure, the technology is there so why not use it, right? I think it's OK to enhance somebody that has talent, but to create "talent" with technology is really going too far.

  • @Qopel Funny your last line is "Going to Far" Dan & John had another song called "Gone Too Far"

  • Now, how about the "image" of the artists. Popular singers were always known to dress "outrageous" in order to catch attention. Long hair, leisure suits and mustaches are tame compared to the bras that shoot out fireworks Katy Perry wears. That is mainstream entertainment now? Yikes!

  • If you are going to sell music today, you need a short name with as little to it as possible. Katy Perry. Even Katy is shortened from Katie. Now the name of the songs: "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight". Wow, what a mouthful! Today the song wouldn’t sell unless it was "I'd really luv to C ya tonite"..and even that is too long! It has to be short and dumbed down like "California Gurls". Never spell a word the way it's supposed to be spelled. That's only for nerdy scientists now.

  • England Dan & John Ford Coley "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight" 1976 vs Katy Perry "California Gurls" 2010 .Both are short, catchy, poppy songs that were designed to make you want to sing along. Of course neither are Mozart or Bach, but I'd have to say that even simple poppy songs have dumbed down over the years. First let’s take the artist's names: "England Dan & John Ford Coley". I doubt any kid today has the attention span or the capacity to remember all that.

  • What an interesting approach to music: write an original song, vs. sample someone else's work and pose with a gun.

  • Must confess it sounds to me like Linen to.

  • did they use Prell to wash their hair ;)

  • Glenn Campbell!

  • timeless classic

    lovely lyrics

  • Lots of memories come with this ... 1976 was a great year for memorable music. :) Between my 1st and 2nd years of high school.

  • Love the tone of this rendition of this song, sounds really warm. Just makes this song sound that much better:)

  • Looks like a 70's German porn film...

  • 70's music is something special. I'm 22. I have a deep appreciation and fondness of this era of music. Is it love and natural affection that draws me to this music? I think so.

  • @btwh "I wanna Gun you down asshoe!!!!"

  • these guys were awesome, i loved all of their great music, this song takes me way back to a beautiful time in my life. life just seemed better after listening to their music. there was alwaya a great magic about this duo. love u guys always. god bless.

  • England Dan and John Ford Coley sold millions of albums worldwide,they toured around the world,they have great singing voices,they are real music artists that made real music,this is real music,this is one of the greatest songs in music history,this song was a big top 10 hit on the Billboard music charts here in the United States that became an even bigger number one hit worldwide,they are one of the greatest groups in music history worldwide,this is a great song :)

  • Nicholas Cage on piano ?? LOL

  • Lovely song .. An all time favorite

  • Gotta love this song!!!!!!!!

  • MAN, who ever out these lyrics up here ... Go back and listen to the song a few more times because they're WAY off ! !

  • @mike38wood Hi I omly see one word WARD instead of WARM but I did dowload it from A lyrics site.

  • @mike38wood ............... shorty.. but I adored it.. send more like this..

    love from your brazilian fan

  • Boy who ever put these lyrics on here , you really need to listen to the song a few more times because they're way off

  • One of my all time favorite songs. RIP Dan Seals.

  • This is a really sweet song. Nice vocals, pretty music. Excellent harmony. These guys were talented and sounded great live, unlike so many "artists" today. I liked Aerosmith, Foreigner, Boston, etc., as a teen in the 70's, but I also enjoyed things on the other end of the spectrum as well. This song was one of them.

  • i love movin innnn

    

  • i`m not talking about the linen !!

  • @imaRoLLingStonzFan MOVIN IN !!!!!!!!!!

  • @musicman70splus calm down lol i was just kidding! lol

  • @imaRoLLingStonzFan That's funny! I thot the same thing first time I heard it.

  • @dancer38d yes i guess he says it so fast it was hard to tell!

  • @imaRoLLingStonzFan and i don't wanna change your sheets

  • Miss his smile everyday

  • Great old group. Those of you who have all this negative crap to spew I wish you would find a large truck to walk in front of.

  • Sad to see people resorting to personal abuse on this. People have a right to like or dislike songs, and that's fine, as long as it doesn't get personal and abusive. Me, I like this a lot, it takes me back to a time when I had great fun, young, daft and without any real responsibilities, well before marriage and mortgage. Nostalgia, pure and simple.

  • Talent fell off the face of the Earth.

  • @mpgoode So well put. The good old days are gone. And happy music has gone with it.

  • Now this is music!

  • England Dan and John Ford Coley forman parte de los buenos cantantes que nos brindo buena musica que siempre recordare y me acompaña cuando estoy sola ,sus baladas son lindas y que gracias al internet veo estos buenos videos ,thanks musicman70splus.

  • It´s been a wonderful surprise to find this song here, love it!!! unforgettable. Thank´s George!-Mary

  • HERMOSA CANCIÓN, ME ENCANTA. SOBRE TODO LA MANERA EN QUE LA INTERPRETAN .

  • HERMOSA CANCIÓN, 

  • Why are people fighting in the comment section? Come on guys,relax and enjoy the tune. If you don't like it, then why are you here ? I like this song,very sweet,nice harmonies,kinda romantic. And don't start crap with me. I'm just a little 112 pound gal here to listen to music. You guys seem to wanna start a brawl. May I suggest "Ballroom Blitz" by the Sweet ? or "Saturday nights allright for fighting" by Elton John ? Leave "England Dan & John Ford Coley" out of this. LOL !

  • @lakeladymel I like it too!

  • @btwha88 What a horrible little shit you are what is wrong with a nice love song a classic ballad not everyone like rock. I really like this song and I am not alone look at the views. the singer of this song lost his fight with cancer last year and your comments will offend lots off fans. Again you are a horrible little shit !! and if you cant say anything nice why don't you keep your sad little opinions to your self.

  • @musicman70splus Thumbs up to you music man:-)

  • @musicman70splus Thumbs up to you music man:-)))

  • @btwha88 It is GENUIUS..."Not talking about moving in...don;'t want to change your life" thats a pre-emptive strike...then says he wants "to get together for awhile!!"...no expectations from her...he's pre-empted it with the "not moving in" verse...but she still looks at it as a love song...frigging genius Dan Seals...RIP!!

  • @btwha88 what kind of fucking moron are you? way to compare apples to oranges you imbecile. Your kind of thinking needs to be eliminated because it's so ignorant and stupid. if i could use a time machine id use it to go back in time to stop your mom from smoking meth. dumb shit asshole.

  • @btwha88 Screw off buddy, this freakin' song is epic! When I was a young gal back in the early 70s this song reminded me of this one freakin' hot life guard on Scarboro Beach that I used to dream about. Walkin' hand-in-hand...under the sunset with waves crashing...this song is sooooooooooooooo representative our our hopes and dreams when we were young. Much better than the crap that's out there today. I like this song and the band!

  • @btwha88 what a horrible person you are.

  • @btwha88 It was mainstream radio-friendly pop,nothing more, nothing less-just like there are different genres of rock&roll-perhaps if you heard the late Dan Seals(the fellow singing here) acoustic country version of this same song, youd have a different opinion-at least the guy could sing on key without autotune& every other device known to man every half-assed no talent vid star uses these days-Mr. Seals came from an exceptionally talented musical family.4 the record, I listen2 Hendrix&Clapton2

  • @btwha88

    You're an asscrack. If you want to listen to only one type of music then that's your prerogative. You probably listen to nigger music just like all the other retards under 30 today. Go suck a nigger dick faggot.

    The 70's and 80's is where all the good music came from. From rock to pop. They don't make songs like this anymore because too many of you punks only listen to nigger rap. The last 2 generations are a total waste of life for this country.

  • @btwha88 You are true scum.

  • @btwha88 Well, Hendrix was dead by the time this came out and as for some of the stuff that Clapton himself has put out..............

  • @btwha88 musicman70plus is right! You are a horrible little shit!

  • @btwha88 shut up!!!!! you don't know what real music is...

  • this song has got to be the gayest song ever made. seriously lol

  • @btwha88 No way, it's a good song! Very upbeat and happy and hopeful!

  • I can still remember the words! :-)

  • I've always loved this song.

  • This song came out the year I graduated from high school. I had study hall in the cafeteria where there was a juke box. We would play this song over and over again. I never got sick of hearing it and I still love it 34 years later. Here is to the class of 1976!

  • I was 7 years old, listening to 68 RKO AM in Boston. =) I'm so glad I grew up when I did.

  • smoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.this song makes me feel good.BUT everybody has different tastes!!! If we didn't then music wouldn't exist.my wife likes boy george and taio cruz seems to prove the point??????????????? if you dare put the reynolds girs on. I like that too.SORRY

  • CraigG1960 you are extremely wise. : ) I would not change the music I grew up listening to, the tv shows I was watching, the tree climbing, the ball games...nobody will ever convince me I grew up in any other time than the best of times (with utmost respect for Styx). Your statement is timeless. Keep on rockin~

  • @weightfeather1 eh, it was the 70's... :D

  • I Love This Song SO Much!!!!:D thanks for posting musicman70plus!

  • David - I really do miss your smile - call me.

  • I'M NOT TALKING 'BOUT MOVIN' IN AND I DON'T WANT TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE, IS THE LINE

  • This is "Our Song". I fell in love in 1975 and am sitll in love with the same girl.

    The Song and the girl have remained in my heart!

  • Every generation will defend the music of its time.  The 60's and 70's era was prime time for music. I think so b/c the music had a movement behind it, that being Vietnam and the struggle with war and peace, choices, authority, ect.

    With fire, you have to have air, fuel and a source of ignition. Music was the air, fuel was man's quest for social reform and the source of ignition was war, mainly Vietnam. Thus, the music was in essence like a wildfire that nobody could or never will put out.

  • RIP England Dan.

  • Dan is actually Dan Crofts, the brother of Dash Crofts from the group Seals & Crofts who had that great song Summer Breeze.... remember that one?

  • Thank you John and Dan for stirring feelings for an old flame that I recently ran into. I really do miss his smile.

  • PLAIN AND SIMPLE-THIS IS A GREAT SONG IN ANY YEAR !

  • Great music, brings nice memories. Makes wanna live on forever.

  • This song makes me so sad.

  • i love this song so much!!!..1:04 ..very cute line

  • great song great post! Thanks!

  • I was born during the 80's but my dad raised me with these kinds of musicians. ^_^ At first it was like hey their old, but now a days it turns out that these artists had some brains and a lot of heart to their craft. Unlike some of the artists now a days where they have a lot of heart but sometimes no sense to their choice of words in their songs.

  • I always thought he was singing "I'm not talking 'bout the linen," instead of "I'm not talking about movin' in." LOL!

  • @LaChicalina20 That's what I always thought he said too! :)

  • I first heard this in the late 90's, don't remember it from the 70's but I absolutely love it. John, if you read this 'I really miss your smile' and am looking forward to seeing you tonight! x

  • I was only 2 when this song came out, and to this day, it is one of my favorites!

  • @mpgoode I think part of the problem is that too many artists no longer write their own music. Even the recording is autotuned out of recognition and they simply couldn't perform "live" the way the bands of this era could - and did. The music industry is, in my humble opinion, vastly over-manufactured now - too many talentless shows, boy/girl bands with no soul or integrity.

  • @MaidofKent1965 AMEN TO THAT!!!!!!!! Don't they realize what there doing ,or I guess they just don't care . So sad great music will someday be lost, to the crap they call music now days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Awesome retro song

  • I love these gentlemen.... "I really love to see you tonight" ^___________^

  • The thing is singer songwriters do not exist today. Everything is corporate made and packaged. These guys WROTE their songs. thanks to mtv there are very few musicians today

  • @JetBeetle agreed. they don't have a clue what they're singing over!!! Who writes their chords and structure? No one cares anymore

  • My very first concert! I was 11 and went with my mom, they were Neal Sedaka, how fun!!!

  • I dated and was very much in love with a sweet girl in Chaleston SC in 75'to76'. I like a fool broke up to come to Virginia. Oh when I hear this song I long to walk with her on warm breezy night on Ise Psalm Beach.

  • From the Summer of '76, an all-time 70's Classic from 2 guys who sang beautifully ; I know I have all of their albums. They wrote & sang with style & class.  Wolfsky9

  • "But there's a warm wind blowing the stars around and I'd really love to see you tonight" You want to see the stars move...Driving Route 120 up into the Yosemite High Country

  • This reminds me of stuff like Dan Fogelberg!!! Damn good stuff!! Damn good!!

  • It really makes me laugh when I see comments on YouTube along the lines of 'this was real music, not like the rubbish they've got today'. Don't you realise that in 1976 people were looking at the charts and saying 'this is rubbish, not like the good stuff we had 10 years ago'. It's the way it has always been and always must be.

  • @CraigG1960 I dont agree when I heard this song the 1st time I loved it then still do today and I can say the same for lots of the 70s music.

    I wont say the music today is rubish just not as good what happed to a good old ballad does no one write good songs nowadys??

  • @musicman70splus

    You're missing the point. Craig is right. You might have liked it when it came out, the chances are your parents were saying it didn't compare to the music of the 50's and 60's, just like your grandparents said that 'rock and roll noise' wasn't music, Frank Sinatra, now that was music, or the big bands, etc. Every generation has music that appeals to millions of people, it gets tied to memories, making it even better.

  • @musicman70splus There will never be a year like 1976, that is when it comes to music.

  • @musicman70splus There will never be a year like 1976, that is when it comes to music. The 70s for all that matters.

  • @musicman70splus

    He does have a point though. The older generations will always see music in a different light...as will the younger generations. I was lucky enough to be raised on the classics and I feel privileged to have been. I like metal, but I also appreciate ballads such as this one.

    "Does no one write good songs nowadays?"

    That's a bogus question. It will always be a matter of opinion and will always be disputed. In MY opinion there are a number of good bands and artists out there.

  • @musicman70splus I LOVE this song! Please check out SamuellTV on here.  Samuell's got orginals and covers. He's an amazingly talented musical artist w/ an unbelievable vocal. Ballads he wrote: Complicated, Que Se Siente, and Don't Know Where I'm Going. Samuell's covers are beautiful too. When Can I See You is full of emotion, just beautiful. If you like what you hear please subscribe and the link for his Facebook fan page are on his Youtube profile. Let me know what you think.

  • @CraigG1960 The problem with your analysis is that these songs continue to be hits and very much liked. The garbage that has been playing for the last 10-15 years will fade out...and, that's the way it really is. I still listen to music from the 60's and 70's; my children who are now in their early and late 20's listen; and really like this music of which I speak.

  • @CraigG1960 i suppose, but electronic has taken over the instruments, and those dickheads on the radio haven't got a clue how chords or songs are written

  • @CraigG1960 I think it's all a sense of perspective - and age, come to that! I was 11 when this came out and loved it then as I love it now. I suspect my mother would have quite liked it too - but def not the Sex Pistols! Do ballads ever go out of fashion?

  • @CraigG1960

    I totally agree with you

  • @CraigG1960 no we didn't,you lying sac of shit, rewright history somewhere else

  • @CraigG1960 you might be partially right. But look at almost any commercial that has a song in it and in most cases that song will be from the 70's. Check it out. Just an observtion.

  • @CraigG1960 CRAIG, I THINK YOU ARE SADLY MISTAKEN. I LOVED THE MUSIC FROM THE 60'S WHILE GROWING UP IN THE 70'S. THE MUSIC FROM THE 70'S WAS WONDERFUL TOO. THE EARLY TO MID 80'S HAD A SOMEWHAT WORTHWHILE SHELF LIFE, BUT SINCE THEN, PRETTY MUCH CRAP. COUNTRY MUSIC THAT ISN'T COUNTRY. ROCK MUSIC THAT IS COOKIE CUTTER AT BEST.WHILE RAP AND HIP HOP GENRES ARE JUST PLAIN AWFUL.

  • @PIONEERS79 its awful because you dont understand it. i dont understand this shit, to me its gay, i mean look at these fruit cakes. i like old rock like cream and led zepplin but this shit is just gay.

  • @btwha88 Gay means happy...and yes, this music makes you feel happy.

  • @CraigG1960 the 16 and 17 year old starry eyed girls loved it though...............been there............saw it

  • @CraigG1960 You're spot on. We naturally become victims of fashion and at the age of around 21 our tastes in music freeze - and that's the Golden Era of Pop.

  • @CraigG1960 i really hate self centered sacks of shit like you,it all sucks unless you say different.

  • @CraigG1960 There actually is a lot of GREAT music now but there seems to be a lot more garbage than there used to be. I am not saying there wasn't garbage in the 70s just not as much.

  • @CraigG1960 you the man, justin bieber da shit man

  • @CraigG1960 your right in certain point but the problem is that at

    this moment you can not find the quality and quantity of singers,songwriters

    and musicians as it was a few decades ago, i live in dominican republic and

    most of the music teens listen dont have feeling.

    its a sound mostly produce by machines and a lot of stupid and obscene lyrics .

    some people say this is a sign of the last days.

  • so nice!
