[MichaelAndrewOakes]

[MsRawkerChick]

[rareboy13]

if i had a penny for every girl i sent this too, id have like 17 pennys. in the money world thats cheap, but in the breakup world... theres still like 17 angry girls out there.

[TheGreyguse]

I wish i could personally bitch slap anyone who dislikes this

[Amerikiah]

This song was the theme song for the graduating class at South Hagerstown High School in 1981. Wow! Hard to beleive it will be 31 years ago in June 2012. South still rules. Yea baby.

[killer4life11]

THANK YOU GROWN UPS

[raegeo69]

[pweedman11]

dnh dna

[astrosfan339]

This is the ultimate break up song for a guy. I love it!

[benten613]

Thumbs up if grown ups brought you here

[themetalchef]

28 people still cant let go of their mom's teet.. It's Time For You To Fly... release and be free.. it's easy.. try it.

[rockettransam911]

My dad grew up on this band, he's seen them live about 10 times. He took me to see them for my first concert back in 2004! I love them so much. REO thanks so much for bringing my dad and I together(:

[denisehersh7]

This song is like a healing agent...time after time, Year after year....funny how it works like that...timeless....I love this song, it expresses exactly where I am right now in my life, as hard as it is, I have got to set myself free and it's time for me to fly!!! 5 STARS!!!!!!

[MrDaddykaos]

my long time girlfriend sang me this song as we both agreed it was time to move on without each other..I still love her to this day and we still talk...almost 30 years later..

[kyl2024]

dumb

[3112basshunter]

I heard this song on grown ups and I thought it was awesome.

[MsSmorrow]

i make you laugh you make me cry

[CFLWjgjc]

i knew REO sang this but i never knew the title..so damn happy i found it

[BeerLovr65]

One of the best ever

[kaham1993]

I have no wing. Flying is invalid. Awesome song though. I'm learning this one for guitar.

[RandyFemrite]

Why do folks flame so much on the Internet?

If you are on this page you obviously wanted to be here listening,

if not, it's time for you to fly.

[lance1jcubsfan]

@RandyFemrite  Hey Randy "female-right", why don't you check yourself man...whoops!!

[matthanten18]

hayato1ful is a talentless idiot that needs to learn about real music........REO Speedwagon fans know where its at

[emilym755]

goodbye ingrateful Tom Kennedy....

[DizzzyKipper]

I love this song.It's a great rebel yell! I am 50 and I like this song...

[cbbuck1]

try 31 years loving someone who coulnt give it back .i did so much to give her all.if only she could have seen...GOODBYE LORI.......

[thor2062]

You go Holly. He wasn't worth your time. Someone I love deeply is still holding on to his ex of 10 yrs that left him for her ex over a year ago.. So I am thinking itis time for me to fly on this one too.

[HealthyFortunes]

steeling your love away cause you never give it. Some people have a way with putting things into words. I wish I could. Communication is a skill so many lack.

[ashley3scene]

I often belt out this song alone (or shamelessly in front of people).

[hayato1ful]

GAY

[Frodoisbak]

@hayato1ful your gay

[ozzyrrv420]

@hayato1ful go back to listening to all the talentless newer music that is popular right now i hate when you justin bieber fans come on here thinking real music with musicians that actually have talent is gay go listen to the rest of your joanas brothers album and leave real music alone cause you don't know shit about music pick up an instrument for a few years then judge music until then you don't know shit about music i played guitar for 20 years i know music and know short buses

[3985gtasa]

@hayato1ful tasteless bastard..

[Sithhus]

@hayato1ful yes, in fact the lead singer is actually Gay. Sooooo... your argument is invalid. Even if you're talking about the song or not. You sir, fail.

[SoundByte58]

@Sithhus Kevin Cronen has been married twice and has children. I doubt he's gay.

[gmapatty25]

@Sithhus he's not gay. the album this song was titled "high infidelity". he wrote most of the songs on this album after he found out that his wife was cheating on him;take it on the run, time for me to fly, i cant fight this feeling anymore......

[Tsambrin]

@gmapatty25

Actually, this song appeared on "You can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish", but it was written in 1976 for "R.E.O.". It just didn't make the cut for that album. "Hi Infidelity" was 1980.

"Can't fight this feeling" first appeared on "Wheels are Turnin'" in 1984.

[VICTORIA777NESS]

lol me too! haha

[challenge405]

It is Funny as we git older and going back to hear the old songs we grew up on still feel the same now as then such a great band and song love you REO

[LORILYNNRHODES]

i'm an idiot and obviously will pay for this mistake. Moving cross country for someone i didn't even know in person! i'm not worth driving an hour for.

[Wyangal]

I flew....

[the3rdlegacy]

How I feel..I ve liked this girl for 5 years and she keeps goin to her cheater ex boyfriend so im flying

[JennaCloss1]

so true

[suzibranduir]

@VickiByrne1 That's because back then you actually had to be a musician. Many "musicians" today are really nothing more than a face.

[NickButters61]

how can anyone dislike this song?

[devlcat24]

played this song when i left my husband....carry it with me still....

[mike25221]

@VickiByrne1 gjhpjgphjeytpjhpmngmnres

[billaa100]

I'm tired of flying. I just avoid the whole situation:(

[suziQ27]

funny, this song is like therapy~

and it really works.

[Kewlgaguy]

@suziQ27  I totally agree with you .....therapy I need sometimes!

[suziQ27]

@Kewlgaguy

me too ~ and some days are better than others.

I wish you good thoughts and good luck..

[roysbar21]

a lot of good times

[suziQ27]

tired of holding on to a feeling I know is gone...

after years of pain and toxicity, I finally figured out

it's time for me to fly~

[Jacieex]

@suziQ27 aint that the truth!

[suziQ27]

@Jacieex

difficult as hell, but life's just too short...

good luck to you~

[fab4fan4ever64]

Happy Birthday Kevin Cronin !!

[efmick]

Everyone hears a song a different way. I know this song is about breaking up. It happened when my son was given no time to live and his dad and I were divorced and he was remarried. To Me it was to me to FLY to him and to hell with ones that didn't really love.

[03bouncerboy]

Love it!!

[UtahJay]

For some reason this song makes me think about my battle with drug addiction....SIX MONTHS ON 9/24/11

[suziQ27]

@UtahJay

bless your heart, good thoughts.

time to fly signifies breaking free ...

stay strong~

[UtahJay]

@suziQ27 Thank you, it's been quite the journey.

[suziQ27]

@UtahJay

again, congratulations.

what you're doing is heroic, and not to be taken lightly.

take good care~

[lance1jcubsfan]

@UtahJay Well, ruck up and take strength my man!!! You are strong!

[aconner64]

memories

[Relda999]

thank you for helping me get over someone.....

[mistyjo10]

after 17 years with a man that thought the sun rised and set in the crack of his ass this is my song to him and i did fly

[denisefetty]

@mistyjo10 Bless your heart ..you made my day reading this !!!

[tarapets]

GROWN UPS!

[ds41980]

Saw REO Speedwagon, Journey and Styxx live in concert. I was sitting in nosebleed seats and the "smoke" was pretty thick up there (if you know what I mean) but it was still one of the best concerts ever. Its true they sound the same recorded or live, well except for journey (after perry but before the phillipino guy) still awesome though.

[1hellaMoFo]

damn i miss real rock!

[ChugFour]

Thumbs up if Peter sent you here

[divndeep23]

Hollypockets....Boyfriend for TEN years?

'Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free'

[banklikefrankwhite1]

@divndeep23 hey that's not fair...i am against marriage...but if i found a good woman...she would know she's the one and only, and would treated accordingly....not everyone that doesn't propose is 'getting the milk for free" lol

[harleyluvrable]

Love this classic !!

[hollisweda]

This couldnt be a MORE approperate song!

together 29 yrs, kids are gone. & theres jus no common ground any more

or love...later, the time has come!! (thank god)

[indyfan22k]

@VickiByrne1 and if you go to see rock bands from the 1980s , NOW they don't have the same lead singer.

[donnellraymond4]

Great music,wishing we could really turn the page back

[bloodlight58]

" TIME FOR ME TO FLY " that's what i said after wearing the U.S. ARMY uniform for 29 years & 6 months -- MAN WHAT A RIDE!!!! --- ( OCT. 1978 -- APRIL 2008 ) saw things and did things -- FRIENDS AND MEMORIES , i'm happy with that -- sad to say goodbye , but IT was time for me to FLY out of there -- 11B , no greater job in the world!!!!

[joga2323]

They don't make songs like this anymore!

[mrbobevans]

Midwest bands do not get enough credit.

[timndrsb]

hey hollypockets i get it, screw em!!!!

[Cutieanimelover1]

Ahh, I seen them live for the first time a few months ago! When they came to Erie, PA. It was really, really cool. I couldn't believe I got to seem them! They played this song and a lot of other good ones! I got all the way in the front and I ended up with a guitar pick!

[JinnyCarey]

ahhh memories. 

[tomcamp6023]

Not ashamed at all. This song rocks!!!! Be ashamed of today music!!

[mssnugglebug82]

@tomcamp6023 Hell yeah you can barely understand the words to todays music let alone trying to understand the meaning of the song lol

[Mrbrianjohnson951]

@tomcamp6023

Can't blame you for not liking today music. One thing about growing up in the 1980's is that the music is better than what we are having now.

[LS1LT1]

Call it a 'guilty pleasure'.

Call it 'corporate rock'.

Call it whatever ya want but I am not ashamed to admit that this is a truly GREAT song.

[mikeyboii21]

GROWN UPS!!<3

[heathergoodman94]

this is one of the best classics got a lot of meaning behind it

[tntnfam]

@VickiByrne1 Thank MTV for that.... Then, if you made great music you went to the top, now you have to be a pretty face ready for TV. its all done in the recording studio now and can't be duplicated live! It sucks, I miss real music!

[germansoldier1944]

your like the drummer for REO speed wagon... no body knows who you are!

[jjpollard10]

this is the song i played to my boyfriend when i broke up with him (:

[germanysjim]

REO, Journey, and Boston, A trio made in heaven, what more could one ask for?

[The85shaggy]

I belive its time for me to fly as well

[hollypockets1972]

I was with my boyfriend for almost ten years. Then one day he up and decides to leave me for another woman. Here hed been having an affair with her for 3 years. This song just fits the whole situation PERFECTLY. Now he wants to get back together, and all I tell him is to listen to this song...

[daddyscarebear1998]

@hollypockets1972 don't do it maybe you should play don't know what you got till it's gone for him because once a cheater always a cheater

[sugahface]

@hollypockets1972 ...hell ya gurl,,never get back with someone that did you like that good luck,and stay stronge: )

[Drydoc2]

@hollypockets1972 Good for you! As a wise person once said, "leopards don't change their spots". Leave him in the dust I say.

[chand101099]

@hollypockets1972 I feel your pain, i am sorry people treat each other that way...good luck and this is awesome to listen to when the one you love hurt's you.

[banklikefrankwhite1]

@hollypockets1972 is there more to the story though? only reason i ask..is because i have an almost identical story (minus the ten years part)...and i felt hostile...but after thinking about it..i realized that i had a lot to do with it..

not saying you did, i'm asking you this as an honest question

[simplygu]

@hollypockets1972 You know what they say... Once a cheater, always a cheater. Don't take him back sweetheart. There are better guys out there who would appreciate a good woman they would like to love and stay loyal to. Like me!

[VICTORIA777NESS]

@simplygu What if you cannot get the plane off of the ground.

[simplygu]

@VICTORIA777NESS I can't help you there. My plane has been on the ground for a few years. I try to get it airborne, but to no avail.

[70goldtop]

@hollypockets1972 What does "up and decides" mean?

[QuentinWBuetow]

@70goldtop - I'm guessing you've never heard this expression before? It means "all of a sudden", "without warning", "unexpectedly" ... come on now. Read for context.

[mrbribri1971]

@hollypockets1972 i don't you but i would never give someone who cheated on me for 3 yrs another chance i had that happen to me and she cheated on me with my worst enemy at the time. so i know how you feel

[TheRushfanatic]

They had a great guitarist. God Rest His Soul. :(

[DynamicalGaming]

reo speedwagon are fucking awesome. simple as that.

[miley0704]

Reo Was great in concert last night. He still got it after 30 years :D

[MrBluedevil0913]

REO Speedwagon rocks the downhome champagne drinking chicago boys

[KateSevs0313]

This song really hit home for me, my relationship with my long time boyfriend is very much this way.

[paddythepiper1]

My all time favourite band still love them today as much as i did all them years ago !!!

[tvise1973]

My favorite song of all time!!! REO was and still is one of the best ever!!

[TheTennTexan]

80s power ballads were awesome, and these were the masters!

[scoutqq]

They're the best

[rreford]

such a simple and freakin tasty guitar solo

[tripleheshy]

 These are thoughtful and beautiful lyrics right here kids. Thank heaven I came of age in the 70's because I sure as hell don't hear them like this too often any more.

[cwrmetallica97]

reo speed wagon,journey,foreigner is the greatest bands in history.

[DimebagJim420]

First time i heard this, was on the radio, and i seriously thought he was gonna sing "I believe it's time for you to die" hahaha. But great song. :)

[KotaBeariesandcream]

[mmvinny9]

YOU MAKE ME CRY @#$#H

[Lynchmob1319]

[tizmo64]

MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE BAND!!! EVERYONE I REALLY KNOW WILL TELL YOU!!!

SEEN MORE TIMES THAN I CAN COUNT. MY SON WAS 6 WHEN HE FIRST SAW REO LIVE. WE LIVED IN BELLEVILLE, IL AND THIS BAND ALWAYS HAD MULTIPLE NITES WHEN IN TOWN. A BLAST FROM THE PAST THAT WILL ALWAYS B THERE FOR MY ENJOYMENT. ROCK-ON GUYS!!!!!!!!

[troyrod]

@tizmo64 yes awesome here to kool it was the best dayz of my life



[csmorul]

Do yourself a favor and go see these guys in concert.

[belegrad]

[jhcrusher]

[jhcrusher]

[PaulineVanStanley]

18 people never had ti fly

[AdrianZmommie1]

this is REAL music!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE it.

[olddocman]

I agree with the other two, I heard this one when I was divorcing my first wife. Whadda ya do when you come home from an entire year's deployment and there's one more kid than when you left home?

[Joderyaconelusername]

one of the most beautiful songs ever written

[acerman66]

Fucking eh!

[cosmokramer41]

REO Speedwagon is the best, man.

[mrmiles201]

excellent song. i have to agreee with @gant555

[MikeMiller48]

I gave this song to my x wife before I left! lol!

[tdkdc39]

I dedicated this song to my ex the day the divorce was final. I heard it playing on the radio as I was driving to the recruiters office to swear into the Air Force.

[clemenaid]

i beat my wife to this song.

[nickcigich]

@clemenaid lolllllllllllllllll

[SLAY6R]

@Bigfootskitty

montyPythons played out fella. its a difrent wold now kid... u need a bit o frankie boyle in your life. PEACE.

[torkerbmx]

reminds me of riding my Redline bike around in 1980

[raikox313]

This "The REO Speedwagon" Forever the best !!!!

[dmmulkey]

Thank you for sharing this great music

[earonmiguel]

This is the time when Music is Music!!!

The BEST!!!!!

[simplyrose80]

a few days b4 my brother died he sang this song......... i miss him so much.... 

[cocamoe5]

you people that dont like reo speedwagon are you complete idiots this band laid the road for all the new rock bands. Learn it you freaking retards. you will love it

[flexorder]

I moved to Urbana Illinois in 1980 right when they were at their height of popularity. All the kids in the 9th grade were real crazy about their music because they thought of them as a local band.

[Wtrackerman]

Sad that Gary Richrath and Alan Gratzer left; all because of Kevin Kronin. Now when you go to see this band it is not the same. Bruce Hall stayed along along with Neal Doughty, but Kevin Kronin is NOT REO Speedwagon, like he thinks he is. Sad demise to a once great pop music quintet.

[RunnerDude92]

One of the greatest songs ever!,,,,,

[alharthy50]

Best band ever

[SLAY6R]

@Bigfootskitty well thanx for that. but i was just having a laugh at the line at 38 secs. i dont know wher your from cos i cant be botherd checkin but id bet its good ole us of a wher they dont do humour. and as for that abbs coment...WELL speachless....have a nice day yall!

[bigfootskitty]

@SLAY6R OH, Yes! Slander and defaming Is so damn funny, let alone rape. If that's funny to you, I suggest you watch Monty Python For about three days. Make sure to catch the part about " And now for something completely different ". It's Important, You need this.

[TheyCallMeAbs]

Slayer sounds like a rape baby to me......Thinking this is about rape the the dumbest fucking I have ever heard.

[cherdawgify]

HOW MANY TIMES I PLAYED THIS SONG AND CRIED FOR MY FIRST LOVE-SOOOOO MANY MEMORIES

[SLAY6R]

This song is about rape.

[bigfootskitty]

@SLAY6R Well if that isn't the biggest PILE OF BULL SHIT anyone ever threw up on the internet! It would seem when you were smoking your plants, You've somehow, gotten the wrong one. It says you are in the U.K. , They do speak ENGLISH There RIGHT? Did You even bother to listen to the song? I get the feeling you must be the pride of your class at school on book report day, no one ever laughs so hard as when you when you open your mouth, and BULL SHIT just comes flying out!

[Nemesis7293]

Brilliant talent. One of the greatest "heatbreak" songs ever recorded! WHO couldn't relate to this???

[Gaylordinator]

to sum things up... good music back then, bad music now.

[MrBHoffman88]

I secretly LoVe this song and I'm singing it in my head all day lol.

[9696286]

I lived on the beach in daytona when I was 17 and dated a guy that looked like the lead singer.

A long time ago...........good times............

[Stephanie8Affleck7]

wow! This music is sincerely epic! its grand! If only I had been alive when this was what you tuned into on the radio. not like today, where if you have the look, money, or anything else beside talent, you got yourself a record. Its rediculous! hmm, maybe I should make a video on youtube of myself.. I know if all these famous ppl got records, I also have a chance.. yea, its THAT bad nowadays! xl

[radioelargentino]

Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!

[Wtrackerman]

Tube warmed radios, tube warmed amps, and musicians with talent.....................tho­se days are long gone.

[dave75brown]

WOW! Haven't heard REO Speedwagon since High School, brings back lots of good, and bad, memories. It was great then and just as good now.

[jshawn777]

SCREW MODERN MUSIC I WISH I COULD TURN ON THE RADIO AND HERE THIS ONLY MUSIC LIKE THESE ALONG WITH BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD TOTO AND THE BEATLES CAN REALLY MAKE ME FEEL IM FLYING SO TO ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO LIKE JUSTIN BIEBER OR THE JONAS BROTHERS SCREW YOU!!!!and this is coming from a 12-yr old!!!

[coolguy2588]

im so sad...no great music to listen to nowdays...i wish so badly that i could listen to new artists making music like this...its so sad music now days

[shamy399]

@coolguy2588 you that right!!!

[Undertowgrl]

This was one of my favorite songs when I was younger. I felt betrayed by those I gave my heart to, and so I broke it off, and this song helped give me courage and direction when that time came.

[QuellyCinStart13]

Our Junstin Bieber is a drug!

I am Brazilian, I am 13 years old and hate, here in Brazil is the new fad!

REO is perfect, wins a thousand ridiculous by this new fad that going around!

[Boeing727223]

@QuellyCinStart13 True but the chicks in Brazil and super HOT!

[mundanejane550]

Grown Ups, Great Soundtrack.

[soonernutty]

Who would NOT LIKE this song!!!! This is real music!!! Not that garbage they play today on radio stations!!! That is why I listen to Classic Rock Radio!!!!!

[skyline2343]

I went to an REO Speedwagon concert in 1981- they were great!
