Ready To Fly - Richard Marx

[scttcorn]

best artist ever



[makaro777]

RICHARD YOU ARE A HERO TO ME. I HAD LONG STORY TO TELL.

[jm30ish]

I know this is supposed to be an uplifting song, but it makes me a little sad - only cause it makes me think of my own life and all of the decisions I have made, right or wrong, and how I don't have to courage to believe in myself enough to do what I need to do to make my life better for me and my family. It's songs like that though, that when I hear them-makes me feel like I can.

[joannevdr]

This song of RM is my alltime favorite!!!

[kwista3]

4's to everyone :) this song has brought me outta some tough times not gunna lie. i love it. "ive always had wings but i wasnt ready to fly"

i was a mime :)

[theart1rm]

5th attempt here! Glad he is back in the studio. The song on his blog is upbeat, with a good beat. Glad he can get out and make appearance. Am happy he keeps them to a minimum of a few a month. So Cyhthia doesn' miss him too much. or maybe she is glad to kick him out for a few days, a womans peragative an all. HaHaHa. Love you man how about doing something with the whole family. X-mas or otherwise with everyone - you, Cynthia and kids. We would love it.

[anyalives31]

I MISS MY FOCUS FAMILY!!

I WAS SHANIA TWAIN...

4444'S TO EVERYONE THAT GOT TO SHARE THE MAGICAL EXPERIENCE OF FOCUS.. ♥

[kittensugars]

never dreamed I'd find something to lift me so high.......

[theart1rm]

Agree with everything said. Can't add much to that except that I don't know if I would have the courage or strength to carry on another day, if I couldn't listen to him everyday. If by some twist of fate, like getting sick and feeling really bad, I go 3 to 4 days without him, I get depressed. His music just given me stength, is food for my soul. I love this man and I am so thankful he has Cynthia by his side. Because it is true that beside every great man stand a great woman.

[mariflordocampo]

Os anos passam...mas, vc sempre será meu cantor preferido.Adoro sua voz!!

[Cowboy11677]

Marx is one of the greatest Singer/Songwriters ever, period.

He has more Top 10 Singles than pretty much any other songwriter out there, mostly not recorded by him.

He has been the entire reason that I wanted to be a musician. Hopefully my dream of meeting, & performing with him will be realized.

Just stay true Richard, you will always be my all-time favorite artist!!!

[rockncountryfan]

love this song and the lyrics, he's one of a kind, perhaps the best of our generation tho he NEVER gets his props....song of the year, hello? Luther...??? great talent.

Keep rockin RIchard~

[gagandeepsinghmithoo]

Well - an inspiring song - to move on in life and rise above daily problems - this life is beautiful - we make it bad n wicked ................ our father has given us a wonderful place to live ............. Gagandeep Singh

[sunbury11]

As always, he is a musical genius. I hope he never stops creating his magical musical pieces of heavenly glory. Love you Richard!!!

[johnnybaby244]

whaAT TRUE MUSIC IS ABOUT

FROM THE HEART

WOWW YOU STILL GOT IT MATE

[SILMARAMARX70]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

[Rainwarning]

Awesome song. Too bad it won't get much radio time. Why?

1.) He can sing

2.) Lyrics are intelligent

3.) Melody is original

4.) Music video don't have naked tarts slithering around

5.) You won't catch him in trashy celeb mags which makes him uninteresting to the idiotic masses.

[amberyoursilly]

ohh focus:]

i was tina turner

[carefreehotguy]

@amberyoursilly i was a butterfly

[wileypayote]

His voice is so dynamic, just Stever Perry's and others from the eighties. Guys then could sing, now they just grunt with their bad music.

[marionruth3]

Foucs♥ i was a butterfly =]

[RicherWhileSleeping]

As always... a class act!

Undeniably a great voice!

[MollyS09]

[kyaroru55]

god i love this man. saw him in concert like 20! yrs ago, still remember what i wore to the concert! haha. who knew how HOT he would look without the 80's hair. love u!

[WackelHomer]

Habe das erste Mal von Richard Marx beim Skispringen in Oberstdorf gehört, wie ich live mit meiner damaligen Freundin das Lied gehört hab. Das war unser Lied...

[andralife]

"I always had wings but i wasn't ready to fly". Great words!

All my respects to Richard Marx, this song i never get bored to listen and many more from him. He is talented and good composer!

[mandyx4z]

Omg! What a sweet man and a wonderfully soothing voice.

[sernitysmiles]

I love Richard Marz! ever since I heard his "Right Here Waiting For You" I've been a fan...

[Beachdiamond01]

im a darringtn academy graduate pc4 is da best

[Fidel4131]

hi! my daugther is at darring...444`s

[lalalalapoooman]

brings me back to focus hahaha

[Ellypssia24]

One of the best songs from

richard marx and he's so damn sexy.I'm been a fan every since i heard "Right here waiting for you"when i was a kid,still a fan.Thanks for the upload,Saving to favorites.

[Westchaser]

I knew Richard was an extremely talented singer AND songwriter ... but I had no idea HOW MANY songs he authored during his career. For example "Dance with My Father" which was made famous by the late Luthor Vandross"!

[omegagilgamesh]

I know he wrote "to where you are" made famous by Josh Groban, but I didn't know he wrote "dance with my father". That was a damn good song.

[ChevalMugs]

Richard wrote the music to Dance With My Father, Luthor wrote the lyrics

[Divaselite81]

"..never dreamed id find something to lift me so hiiii iiiiigh" ah i love it!

[Westchaser]

This sounds like a story of Richard discovering God's unending love for him ... as well as for each of us.

[Caribbeancruise2007]

das is echt schön das lied..

mich erinnert des auch immer an skispringen..

greg schlierenzauer is the best <3

[Breshin]

this song is so nice...i like his voice and the music...i am always listening to the songs and everytime i hear the songs i feel like i am in another world for the moment....just dreaming...

i love this man nd i think he´s one of the greatest singers ever.

[recorcholis007]

nice song!!

[klaudo12]

Have somebody guitar chords to this song?? Sorry for my English but I'm from Poland ....:(

[samyoureye]

:)good

[Nadl08]

des erinnert mich immer an skispringen<333333 und ich liebe es

[sylaschlierenzauer]

Und mir auch! Das passt ideal zu Skispringen. Grusse fur Schlieri^^ ;*

[kdrumzz]

I'm a musician and heard garbled bits of this song on my way from Nashville to east Tn when my Father was passing, I searched hit and low to find the song and when i did it couldnt have reminded me more of my wonderful Fathers acomplished life, yet with a few things left to do! So thanks for finding a way to explain my heart to me and letting me know it was ok to let my Dad FLY! Much Love,....

[maria3845]

I would like to have the chance to meet him in person someday! love his music.. can't get enough of rm..

[FuckTheFuckOffgwb]

This man has inspired me more then many people could imagine. The only people whom i believe would understand is my focus grads!!!!!!!!!

4 over my heart,

still have my bracelet from focus on to this day!!!

[jtm101583]

I have a shirt that looks just like the red one he wears in the second verse; The one with the white stripes.

[MrsMJFox]

This is pretty random, but is Richard Marx a Christian? I notice he wears a cross around his neck. Just wondering.

[JasonRadley]

I believe so.

[bluelinedisciple]

Do you know where I could find that cross /

[jaydelacruz2008]

Thanks God, I have the cd of this album...I listen to it from time to time.

[maria3845]

What is the name of the cd?

[jaydelacruz2008]

The name of the album is "My Own Best Enemy."

[maria3845]

Thank you so much! I will get the cd.. :-)

[charmedstrange1]

This awesome song is inspiring and encouraging, and I love it. I like that the vid shows them on tour and on stage- just makes the song more authentic and honest. A real find here.

[supreme23154]

Siempre tuvistes alas

Pero no estabas listo para volar....

[ChevalMugs]

I love this video, and not just cause I'm in it! This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, definitely one of my favs. And I love seeing him interacting with his band, Matt, Sean, Steve, Kevin and Tim, they always look like they're having so much fun! :) His shows are always phenomenal!

[sk30l]

Richard looks like hes done facial surgery or done botox shots.

[ThePinkDragon]

never Heard This one  Amazing as USual from him, :}

[maria3845]

love him.. and all of his music..

[moss1transcendant]

i cant get enough of him either , hes amazing. he has good roots. his father is a compser. just think how good thing could be if we didnt have corrupt war waging politicians , im sure wd have a beautiful blosoming of cultures, but not in our lifetime . too much pain in many nations.

but theres hope!

[maria3845]

Did you see richard marx father on his video of Now and forever?

[moss1transcendant]

no, ive no idea what he looks like, just new he was a composer from a interview i heard. i saw him smile at a man conducting . must have been him.

[maria3845]

Yes that was his father!

[moss1transcendant]

ahh yea i just rewached that part. i can se the resemblence. thank you !

id not have realised that.

id love to meet him.

he is uplifting for me but at the same time it depresses me to think how grounded we are as a race and how poor some areas of the world are. im suprised famous singers dont give aknowledgement to the great oneness of God! its really important to let others know its good to respect nature and feel comfortable with spiritual notions.

right now is very important not tomorow

[maria3845]

I also would love to meet him!

[luvlytinker]

nic song.........

[Syudu]

where is he from?

[Jubilee2]

he was born in chicago

[beccad5]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!

[JRoca79]

i love this song too.One of my favourites really beautiful song.

5/5

[miblopng]

Oh...that voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mariuszcafe]

Fajny kawałek !!! Pozdrawiam :) Mariusz Dolinka

[nikfil92]

Dude, this guy sounds just like Bryan Adams.

This is my favorite song (besides Right Here Waiting).

[HungBlow]

Bryan Adams owns Richard Marx

[DreamLoveChild7227]

NO way!! But it's all a matter of opinion i guess. I like the both of them and i believe they're great. Bryan Adams is an amazingly talented singer but Richard Marx is just as talented, just as amazing. Totally different decades though. I love Marx's songwriting especially for the tings he's written nowadays.

[sk30l]

I think Michael Bolton owns both Adams and Marx.

But I don't like Bolton because he dates that Desperate Wife for too long.

[iambernig]

Dude, that's Vertical Horizon in the background. ROCK ON!

[ATLNice]

Is it me or does this man get's better looking with AgE i thought he was gorgeous way back then but now it's like damn. Wow Guyz tell me am not crazy.

[BLUEEYEMOUSE]

i am a guy and i said your not crazy

[ATLNice]

My favorite singer now and forever;his music makes me feel like I was ready to fly.I should've known better and more about him but it's never to late.I m so satisfied when I listen to this guy and forever,I'll right here waiting for his new songs.

He helps me forget of those girls(Angelina,Mary,...)that hurt me and please stop your gossip because I ignore who killed Mary...

[citizensoldier31]

You are funny as hell, but you should know that the name is Angelia, not Angelina. Beautiful name too...too bad my daughter hates it so much since it's what I named her!

[america8877]

My bad then!!!It's a butiful name howeva...Cant undrstnd how any1 culd hate on such a name

[citizensoldier31]

lol It's ok.

I agree, it is a beautiful name! That's why I gave it to her...but she is a girl, therefore stubborn! lol

Gotta ask now, are you from or in New England? You wrote howeva, and that's exactly how I say it!

[america8877]

Oh no!!!I am neither frm N.E. nor am I in N.E. am instead in Maryland

Amen, I am a beautiful, creative, lovable woman. Focus was life changing for me as well. Glory be to God

[FuckTheFuckOffgwb]

[StartingRebecca]

Do you mind if I ask how you came about chosing the words you did? Only asking because of a special time this song was played for me.

[mjwsatx]

yes you are - but your screen name is not fitting for a Focus grad.

I am a courageous, accepting and sharing man
