Thanks so much for posting this wonderful video! Yes, it's sad that Dan Seals is no longer with us but.. the great music of England Dan and John Ford Coley lives on. Great performance by John! Ron
Actually, there are rumors that Billy Paul's "Mrs. Jones" is actually about a man's struggle with heroin addiction, but disguised as a song about an affair.
@pugilist26 I love that kind of stuff...I've never heard this, but it intrigues me! I will never listen to that song the same again. Thanks for that tidbit.
America loves to be hard-core, moral righteous on it's very weaknesses. What a laugh. A country with relentless divorces, related to money and partner cheating, one in the same, crying out against cheating. America, just stop being! I mean, really. A joke.
i'm also from the PI. i've been in love with this song and many others by england dan & john ford coley for the longest time. there's really nothing wrong with the message of the song. music is a conduit for expression of emotions. if this was what england and/or john felt at the time they were writing it, they should be given the benefit of the doubt. freedom of expression...'at's what it is! my personal opinion... (:
@atevivs,I'm not sure of what Dan died of, but, most likely, it'll say on Wikipedia, if you type in, 'Dan Seals (singer)' That should give you an answer. God bless!
hits me right in the spot. found my true love again after all these years but sad to say we are not married to each other. i know we could have been better off together though.
reminded me of my 1st true love... i used to listen to this... when we were together back then... now we have found each other again but in other's arms already (were both married but not to each other)
i think he should have left this song where he left his voice. good song really, but he no longer has the skill. too bad there isn't a better version of the song sung by both Dan and Coley on youtube. oh well, we can't have it all.
I don't think the song's about cheating. Terminal is more like it. But who cares. It's one sad reality in life. You'll discover true love just when either of you belongs to someone else. Songs, as in other art forms, immitate or mirrors life. I like the last part.."Wish I had a time machine.." most. I prefer the original rendition though. It's smooth and cool.
Mabuhay! JFC sounds good but England Dan used to be the lead and he sounded better. Too bad he already passed away last March. R.I.P. England Dan! Your music lives on!
By the way guys checkout my cover version of this song!
i didn't know that info about this song... in the Philippines as he mentioned, this is their most famous song (and also "I'd really love to see you tonight)... i don't think this song is about cheating at all
damn, i was 8 yrs old when that song came to existence......im 39 yrs old now and it's my fucking masterpiece whenever i sing in a karaoke machine.......GUYS,......... ur damn LEGEND....
I first heard that song when I was 15, in 1978, sitting next to my mother as we shopped for new school supplies. I knew what being in love felt like. I had her picture in mind. I also knew I was too young to know what was right for me. I thought of marrying this girl, and then a few years later finding out that someone else would be a better match and more true, a good partner for life, but my childish intuition had me stuck with my first. This thought hit me as I heard the first words in song.
"it's not cheating"
yeah right! lol

It's not about cheating - it's about wanting to cheat.
Everybody wants to at some point or another. Some want to cheat every time they get pissed off.
That doesn't mean that you actually do.

Very nice song...definitely not about cheating.
I've always thought that it is OK to live my life in a dream world...and once in a while get inspired by other person who cares.
But I always make sure that I dont hurt the people who loves me.
That makes life easier, smoother lovelier
