The wimp factor is increasing to critical levels here but is barely kept in check. This is the last of the Chicago ballads that keeps a sense of balance. They're already getting used to loading on the extra syrup, something that will forever ruin them as artists by the 80s, no matter how many pancakes they sell to zombies as a result.
a song from the 70's love it then and love it here now on youtube. something about that great vocal from peter cetera. just love that voice. distinct!
I remember hearing this so long ago. I loved the lyrics and melody right away. "What a big surprise...right before my very eyes..." Something so universal about these words! "The value and dignity beyond compare of each human being..." John Paul ll in 1978. This amazement at the beauty of each human being is the "Good news" according to the same John Paul. So many, if not all, pop songs touch the truth of man. "Lord, that I may see..."
Nothing can compare the 70's and 80's music. Artists were so talented and the words they choose to sing really is soothing to the ears.
Nowadays music like grenade by Bruno Mars is scary. I'm sad that this is the kind of music my son will be listening to as he grow up. Trash and violentic lyrics.
im victor my life revolves around daves farts and mathboys green crap after he ate rotten pork for a week.right b4 my eyes casper the friendly ghost asked me to suck his cock.i did it so quickly ive never had such fun in my life except when i bummed my father in my kitchen.

This is the song that I sing to my wife erry nite when I'm about to cum my load on her face. When I realize she "aint fakin it" .... I sing at the top of my voice "BABY-WADDA-BIG-SURPRIZE!!"
@blueticecho I realize this is a year old post but I am wondering and I have to know.......what did you think the lyrics were?!? It's not like this is death metal or fast rap. Its slow regular english singing. What did you get wrong?
Beautiful song! and the video is a really big surprise to me; including the lyrics as well as information was an interesting idea. Good job!
