don't know who I loved more back in 1972..my boyfriend Buster Maltese or this song?? loved them both I guess..wow some really cool memories of one of the best times to be a teenager, sure do miss those days...and sometimes even Buster "-) great song Edward Bear, it holds a place in my heart 4 ever =))
This song was always there on my backburner so to speak since I heard it in High school in the late 70's. I didn't really know who sang it but the main vocalist has such a clear and smooth voice for this song and the easy flow of the melody made you want to buy a copy. I didn't buy my copy till the early 90's.
This has got to be considered the anthem for all, who at one time or another, have suffered through unrequited love. Hadn't heard it for decades until tonight. It brought me back to the 70's for a few minutes.. ... sheesh..... Powerful .... Edward Bear ... Certainly didn't remember the name. Nice find. Thanks OP.
I haven't heard this song in years, as soon as it started all my old memories flooding back of the girl that I loved so deeply so dearly, she left me and I was devastated severely and even now I realize that I still am today - 41 years later - and I know it's impossible to wish but I wish we were together again......
When this song first came out, it was viewed as a sappy song back then, but really it was one of the last best love songs for that year........
Two thumbs up if you thought that this song was sappy back then but wish we could go back to those "times" when sappy was the worst thing that could happen to you......
Heard for the first time today on the radio- XM 70's. After a single verse, I knew I had to add it to my growing list of favorites! Music and lyrics speak volumes!
The 70s was my teenage years and your teenage years are your most influencial years as far as who you will be as a person. Its to bad teenages today are growing -up with what they hear today. We were lucky to have come of age in the 70s. However, with that said I see hope, some of the young generation is recognizing the great music we had then. Just keep playing it loud. Thanks for posting this great song.
@usafreedom100 I'm 20 now, so my teenage years were spent in this generation.... Fist fights lead to drive by shooting, theres no more meeting up at the pool hall, its going to the club and either looking for fights or STD's, "peace and love" is now "money and hoes" and if thats influential, i dont even wanna see what these people are gonna be like when were running shit... All we can do is listen to the good old tunes and hope she changes, not very likely tho..
Reminds me of driving my MGB from Brisbane to the gold coast in the early 70's with my then girlfriend, listening to colour radio 4IP. Very sadly all three have not been part of my life for years and years.
This song was popular during my last year in elementary school and reminds me of a certain girl that I had a crush on at the time. Of course, I was too shy to let her know.
This is one of those songs that makes me sad every time but I don't know why. Something must of happened. Doubt it was love, i was only 9. What a great song. Thank god for youtube!
I think we're all full of shit.... I remember this song and it's really a syrupy dopey song but, I know every word and I guess that's the simple proof that its really pretty good.
Here's a place in time that society forgot. When music was cool, groovy & innocent. Lyrics were clean and people were pure and unspoiled. Unlike today how media serves our kids a bunch of FILTH where lyrics of gang-sta rap & hip-hop are full of profanity, recording artists are horny sexual beings portrayed in videos & pop stars are admired for getting in trouble with the law - WHAT kind of CRAP is that ?? Just citing how societal erosion is deteriorating the very fabric that holds us 2-gether.
Song reminds me of a very depressing period of my life (there hasn't been many good ones). Reminds me of drug addicted friend who was quite the lady's man--wonder if he still alive. This song was playing when we had a frank discussion about his life. Now I have a son who is a drug addict-kismet!
I was 11 years old in 1973,so glad i was already listening to the radio back then Big WAYS 97.3 Jay Thomas and George Cheney. Charlotte,N.C. Helped me get
over my homesickness for the Big Apple as a young one.Great Song!!
@AnnaAnnaYes Hello. Is this the same Jay Thomas who was also an actor and now makes a yearly appearance on David Letterman's Christmas show? He discusses his working with The Lone Ranger and then tries to knock a big meatball of the Christmas tree on the stage by throwing several NFL footballs.
@AnnaAnnaYes Sorrt to hear about George's death. Jay seems like a cool guy. Wish him well. It would be nice to see him do more televsion appearances than just once a year. Several real life friends of mine live in the Charlotte area now, including one who performs as Elvis which you may have heard of because he's very active there.
if u dont get sentimental on this song, then you wont get it at all! summer of 73 for me ,7th grade , the one that got away.. if you heard the rest of this album, youd know why they only had one hit, but a great one hit wonder!!
1973...Stuck in boarding school..homesick...moonin' over a girl who "liked me as a friend..." LOVED this song, still do. Knew a guy at that school who sounded JUST LIKE Larry Evoy..
milesmuhldoon1 & phoenixtimes2 are dead-on correct. This tune is a trip for the senses, so lacking in most of today's music. To the latter I can only ask; "Where's the Beef?!".
I hear this song and suddenly it's 1973 and my best friend and I are in her brother's van, driving up to Running Springs in the winter, looking out the back window at the lights of San Bernardino glittering in the valley below. Thanks for the memory. :)
Memories of driving with parents and brother from North Jersey to Jersey Shore (yes! Seaside Heights!) back in the early 70's and listening to this song as well as "Everybody Plays the Fool" (the one with Cuba Gooding Sr. singing not Aaron Neville) on WABC radio.
Love the song...and the Union workers pic! and Thanks Mr. Hoffa! for giving the hard working man a chance! and dignity! Glad your reunited with your wife in Gods Kingdom
Nothing beats the 60's & 70's music, wish I could go back just to enjoy the good times I had. Todays music just plane makes me sick, that fucking rapp shit and even country music is not like it used to be to fakey and to fast boring. bring back the 70's
@tjs7432 DO NOT sit and wish you could go back buddy!!!!!, think of guys like me who completely missed out..... I never had a fuckin chance to experience a life that dont include all this bullshit we have now days, all this texting and bullshit, no ones friendly, FUCK!!!, i missed it man!!!, now I don;t wanna hear you complain, lets just enjoy this music, and hope that the world maybe see's that thier ALL FUCKING RETARDED, and everyone relaxes, oOOOooh, i forgot, NOT HAPPENIN ;)
@tjs7432 What was wrong w/the 80's? Even the 90's had some decent tunes. You're right about today's music. Definitely crap unless it's from a classic artist.
@bucky468 Good day By 1983  Pop music was going bonkers with too much electronic substitutions for real instruments. It's "easier" I presume to set up an electronic back beat, etc,..but,..somehow our ears sense this,..& tire easy.
Think of it like comparing Mothers home baked pies VS a Sobeys/Zehrs etc pie.
I agree some 90's bands & music good (like Ray Lyell & The Storm, Cowboy Junkies Lisa Stansfield)
@RetroCaptain You forgot the AOR/hard rock aspect of 80's music. There were plenty of great artists like Def Leppard, Tesla, Queensryche, 38 Special, Survivor, Asia, Scorpions, Whitesnake, Zebra, Axe, Giuffria, Saga, Fastway, Point Blank, Tony Carey, Russ Ballard, Quarterflash, Motels, Missing Persons, Frozen Ghost, Toto, Prism, GTR, Tangier, Kings of the Sun, the Cult, Romantics, Inmates, Bad English, Damn Yankees, Red 7, Bauhaus, the Blasters, Kings X & Red Rider amongst others.
first record I ever bought.99 cent 45 rpm record from a hardware store.I was 9.My older brother gave me a hard time for buying such a "girl" record.
I am 44 years old, this is one of the first songs I remember digging on AM radio as my sister and I rode in the back-seat of our parents station wagon, singing along as we drove from one Eastern USA vacation spot to another (e.g. Hershey, PA, the Delta Queen in Cincinnati, OH, Blue Ridge/Appalachian Mountains) in the early 70's.
@frankc32 this is the first album i bought/ dont buy it/ , chicag 5 was my first 8 track. bread, guitar man first cassette & cant take my eyes off you, first 45. been awhile, huh?
I Love this song, in the year 1972 when this song came out i was 5 years old, and i remember Listening to this song in 1972 when the school bus use to come to Union City nj to pick me up and drive me out to Mount Carmel Guild Alhambra school in Newark NJ . with a few friends on the same school bus. when i listen to that song now it brings back memories of 1972 when i was 5 years old.

I introduced Larry to my sister Chrissy, he wrote this song to her.. the greatest love of his life thus far... You can see her on the back of the album. Too bad he didn't send her a cheque... hahaha
Very personal, my uncle was murdered the year this came out and I was 7, and I will always leave the light on waiting to see him again, "I Love You, Yes I Do" Uncle Moose. RIP
I absolutely love this song! Why can't they write'em like this anymore? This song has melody, great lyrics, and a great voice. Is that too much to ask?
This song, sadly, takes me forcefully back to the dim, crowded locker-lined corridors and dank stairwells of Brebeuf, my junior high school, and the first of an untold # of unrequited loves. Where are you now, Margaret P.?
Great song, great memories and great singer. Had big time crush on a girl, moved away, and never had a chance to ask her out. This song always reminded me of her.
But you know what? Engine58Dan, dude I think you hit on sometime,.. I can see a screenplay using your comments as the concept for a 70's based story, like an American Grafitti. And the divorce thing at the end,.. brillant! Party on Brethren!
@flyerspa67 (using moms' computer') feel good? a song about leaving the light on for 24 months because of an obsessive depression? graet great song but its SAD as hell not happy "feel good" .
Seriously, that was awesome!! I used to fall asleep listening to this hoping my non-girlfriend would somehow know how I felt about her back in 1973 when I was 10. I ran into her when we were in our 20s and she had the same crush on me that I had on her. Unfortunately, I was too stupid to seize the moment and blew her off. Oh, if only I could do it all over, we'd be divorced by now.
My claim to fame (albeit a dream) to this song. I was sleeping ..i assume it must of been r.e.m. sleep and i woke up and I immediately starting writing down the words to this song...i was like pumped and I showed the words to my two older sisters and said, listen to this song i just wrote...they laughed at me and said, "yeah, right" that was just on the radio a couple of minutes ago. I promised them I wrote it..later that day, while listening to radio...my heart was broke...LoL - Jenni
nothing cool about today, take away their Google, Iphones, MP3, WiiFii, Xbox, etc. etc. and you got a bunch of crybabies whose music not only sucks but it swallows as well!.
@milesmuhldoon1 however, you are using a computer to type your comments, so you are participating in technology. i'm 53 and i do think music was better in my day, because artists thought of music as a craft. but there is good music today. you do have to search for it. my son is 22 and has excellent taste in music, so don't lump all young people together.
@milesmuhldoon1 even if you hear a tune that might be pleasing to the ears,you cant trust it with everbody using the autotune technology. thats the process that takes some one with my singing voice and makes it sound like i could actually carry a tune. now they have auto tune micro phones. its a hopeless phoney world we live in now.
@bctruck of course its a phoney world but grab a beer, go to the beach, and put on your headset....listen to your favorite songs, by the way, bring a automatic weapon with you becasue you never know these days , ya' know.
A time long ago and far away. Way before tatoos, piercing, punks, purple hair, and all of the 'wonders' of today. I never thought we'd be the last generation of cool.
@phoenixtimes2  I'm 43 born in 1967 and ur right! We are the end of a generation..gone the days of good music from the heart, good morals and ethics..and the cars...everything was better then eh..
@RFKFANTS67 You betcher sweet patootie it was the last stand of our times, but I am going to be nift fifty plus 3 more in 10 days. Our songs had moralities, and even cranked out a few goofy ones, I thank God for that time in my life. Angel huuuuuugggssss! ; - }
@phoenixtimes2 Well, I'm 15, but I'm obssessed with the 50s (the greaser part), and I dig the 60s-70s as well, then there are some 80s I like too. I mean ofeverything to do with the decades in general
Great songs from this group-saw them live in London,Ont-A treat.Larry had a terrific single with "Here I Go Again " after the band broke up . Today I believe he and his wife run a horse farm.
i left the lights on for a girl named kristine...she never came looking for the light. in fact, she got married and moved into a trailer with a nice italian guy. she is so happy.
Still go the 45. just looked at it "Sleeve design by Paul Weldon". Unfortunately i can't play it. I lost that round plastic thingy that goes in the middle :)
I lost my middle thing too, but i use a cap w/ a hole drilled in the middle. I still play my 45's and even the grandkids enjoy a lot of 'em. Nastalgic!
Love this song, even though the lyrics are sad when you listen to them.

@dorksvilledog, that is classic, dude!
I am 44 years old, this is one of the first songs I remember digging on AM radio as my sister and I rode in the back-seat of our parents station wagon, singing along as we drove from one Eastern USA vacation spot to another (e.g. Hershey, PA, the Delta Queen in Cincinnati, OH, Blue Ridge/Appalachian Mountains) in the early 70's.
Incredible memories!
Cheers!

Seriously, that was awesome!! I used to fall asleep listening to this hoping my non-girlfriend would somehow know how I felt about her back in 1973 when I was 10. I ran into her when we were in our 20s and she had the same crush on me that I had on her. Unfortunately, I was too stupid to seize the moment and blew her off. Oh, if only I could do it all over, we'd be divorced by now.

My claim to fame (albeit a dream) to this song. I was sleeping ..i assume it must of been r.e.m. sleep and i woke up and I immediately starting writing down the words to this song...i was like pumped and I showed the words to my two older sisters and said, listen to this song i just wrote...they laughed at me and said, "yeah, right" that was just on the radio a couple of minutes ago. I promised them I wrote it..later that day, while listening to radio...my heart was broke...LoL - Jenni

@milesmuhldoon1 however, you are using a computer to type your comments, so you are participating in technology. i'm 53 and i do think music was better in my day, because artists thought of music as a craft. but there is good music today. you do have to search for it. my son is 22 and has excellent taste in music, so don't lump all young people together.

@milesmuhldoon1 even if you hear a tune that might be pleasing to the ears,you cant trust it with everbody using the autotune technology. thats the process that takes some one with my singing voice and makes it sound like i could actually carry a tune. now they have auto tune micro phones. its a hopeless phoney world we live in now.
