  • @pearle593 I have saw this as 'unread', in my mailbox for 1 year and 20 days. Decided to read it, now, at 3:20 am. Your unread note haunted me for over a year! I didn't know what it'd say. I hope you're well! :-) I haven't listened to the song, again, yet. Sigh. Hugs

  • Border Collie?

  • My soulmate is marrying someone else now... That was always supposed to be me, and she gets the title of 'wife' without working for it at all like I did. I hate my life :'(

  • I still remember what you said, when this song played on the radio while you Iheld me in those amazing arms after one of our many nights of crazy, wild abandon love making as only 16 year old teens can acomplish. You said, "This is it. This is our song." Why? Because you said, in your 16 year old wisdome, " We will never have this problem." Ah young love at it's pureist. Larry Austin Bright I will always love you though I lost you!

  • Harley, I wish I could make you love me, but I know I can't. And so, I wish I could make myself NOT love you... but I can't do that either. So I suppose I'm stuck with this horrible feeling until god knows when.

    Just want you to know, you're a beautiful man and your personality is the most amazing I've ever known and will probably ever know. I wish the very, very best for you, Harley. I love you. I really really love you.

  • Friendship often Ends into Love....... but, Love and Friendship!.. Never....!

  • I'm in love with this song! I can listen to it everyday :)

  • @PrettyGiirlJ i would listen to this song at work. didn't know for years who did this, but one day i found out. sweet song that is so sad, but somehow offers hope.God, or Life itself offers us other opportunities at Love ;-p

  • This is a great song !! Sad but true!

  • Great singing on Bonnie Raitt's part, from around the year 1992 when she visited Pgh. and sung outside of Pittsburgh.

  • This song has been done many times, and in many ways. But there's nothing like the original. The sadness and dignity have yet to be recreated or duplicated.

  • I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE TOLD SOMEONE THESE VERY WORDS BEFORE THEY WALKED AWAY

  • great songwriting

  • I love this song . one of my favorites............ this is a wonderful song.. reminds me of the one i loved for seven yrs and he cheated .. but its still a wonderful song and so true..

  • I love this song . one of my favorites

  • i love this song :)

  • I hope to someday be able to listen to this song and not cry. You're not with me physically, but your heart will always be with me. I will always love you, D.A.S.!!

  • I know you do love me...but decided to do the right thing. I'll always think of you whenever I hear this song. I can't make you stay with me physically, but your heart will always be with me. Love you, D.A.S.!!

  • “I can’t make you love me if you don’t. You can’t make your heart feel something it won’t.” This summarizes how I felt about someone I had a major crush on in high school. I couldn’t make him love me, and I wouldn’t want him to love me if it wasn’t genuine or if it was against his will.

  • It seems to me this song is about resignation.Resigned to the fact that something that was once beautiful and sustaining is now over.But once you realize that it is indeed over,you can begin to heal.Not to say the pain suddenly disappears,but the weight starts to lessen.You stop putting all your efforts into doing ANYTHING to make him/her happy,hoping you will say or do the one thing that will change their mind. Reality is realized,and,is excepted.I resign.I've excepted it.I have hope.Thanks

  • I feel this way right now.. I have fallen for a friend.. who is very close.. we sleep together, hang out together, do almost everything together.. but he has told me he only wants me as a friend.. I have to accept it, but it still hurts.. cause I know that I can't make him love me, the way I want him to.. he loves me as a friend but that is not enough for my heart.. I need all of his love and being.. It's not the same..

  • @stylestar07 Love can be messured in so many different ways. the love you have for your friend will be stronger then the love you may hae for a companion. A friends love is stronger then any love you may ever have. When you have a "true friend' they don't judge you like a mate will. they love you for you. good luck with the love your looking for.

  • @tim382800 thanks tim, each day I am learning to move on and just enjoy being with him as a friend. We have the most amazing times together.. I am learning to be content with what i have, and if love comes along I will be ready, but if it doesn't I will be ok with that as well.. thank you again

  • @tim382800 I have never received a reply from the comment section here. Those amazing times will build a bond between you that will last a life time. I too had a friend whom i loved more then she ever knew. After 20 years of being "friends" I told her of my true feelings. Only to find out she felt the same way about me.. We are now both with someone else. we still are great friends but realize i ships passed in the night. we just didn't see one and other. good luck to you!

  • Hahaha that's what happend to me too lol

  • i just decided to listen to this song and i just started crying cause it reminds me of death :/ is that weird?? haha

  • @foreveremo nop not weird at all. The end of a relationship is the death of a relationship.

    

  • @lalaland2064 i wasnt not crying over a relationship tho :/ i cant remember what i as crying over haha

  • so sweet she does this..i love it!

  • famram4 that is the saddest thing i ever heard. i feel for you. i myself have been in that situation. i was engaged. i loved my fiance with all my heart...but he didnt feel the same. it was the worst feeling in the world. i felt myself shatter and crumble. everyday that went by my pain grew worse till one day i had to walk out the door. im sorry for anyone that has to feel like this. because its very hurtful

  • this is the saddest song i ever heard.

  • for the folks that replied to my comment i would be honored if ya looked me up and added me on facebook cuz yall seem like good ppl my email is jp83187@yahoo

  • 15 years of marraige and my wife no longer loves me . it is so hard to look at her because i know she does not feel the same as i do. i would walk through hell in a gasoline suit just to feel her love once more.i feel like a failure.i pray for the pain to stop but it just keep etting stronger.

  • My life is this song I'm a 12 year old girl who fell in love with the wrong guy who has a huge crush on my friend it's like slow torture isn't it?

  • my heart hurts so much now cuz i love a woman who never loved me it is the worst pain you will ever feel your mind doesnt choose who you love your heart does cuz your heart has a mind of its own and my heart has fucked me over all i do is cry and i dont eat i dont sleep im so hurt and no matter how many times my mind tells me to give up and move on my heart always will love her and want her i just cant take it anymore

  • @jp83187 i know how you feel...........

  • @jp83187 I feel you brother, just because you love someone doesnt meant she is gonna feel the same about you and chooses the wrong partner. Been there and done that, so dont feel alone. Just dont fall in love for her first, let her fall in love with you. Peace to you, remembered.. be very very very Strong.. Sleep early or more and do somethings that will keep your wounded heart at bay, dont think of negative solutions. You have the will power and you only

  • Much props to the original but Tank completely killed this song. His voice just makes you feel all the emotion even more soo then bonnie

  • Comment removed

  • Bonnie Raitt, one of the most talented, expressive, musically gifted, versatile, sexy, beautiful and intelligent women in music...nobody else can do this song the way she does it. Just the living end, a moment in time where angels hover and the choir of heaven itself stands up and cheers in adulation for this gentle flower with the soulful voice...

  • I will always love you Lynn even if you don't love me...........

  • Amazing how Bonnie opens her feelings ... what a incredable talented artist... how many of us can be as honest as Bonnie express her words. She is like a stamp ... the older it gets, worth much more and Bonnie surely is brilliant. Bonnie will always remain here singing this tune in the future for all those people coming around.

    Deeply enjoyable perfect sound here...appreciate it alot ...5 stars

  • Unknown Prophets did a great sampling of this song

    and manage not to damage the song and it's meaning.

    I always respect the origional songs ofcourse since it's

    very inspirational to other artists and fans like you and me.

  • You can feel this song when Bonnie sings it. . She makes one feel that she has gone through this sadness before.  She calls Jackson Browne her soulmate and they both can make me feel the song.

  • I find this

    one pale imitation.

    Got it?

    Pale Imitation!..

    roflmao

  • love this song awhole alot especially when im making love to my man lol

  • Between this and Marvin Gaye's "I Want You," they both remind me and bring me to tears of what could have been. Second chances in love are not a rarity but we often make the same mistake again. To those of you who have never had to endure the pain this song speaks of I, and many countless others , envy you.Over the years I have learned to laugh, but I have never forgotten how to cry.

  • @luckylou1111 Your comments about both songs are so ironic because I have always felt the same way about both songs. Great music!

  • @luckylou1111 I thought your words were so beutiful, and true.

  • Comment removed

  • She is as old as me, and looks (and sounds) a whole lot better than I don't.

  • Good night Ms M, wherever you are. Ric

  • nice upload.... i remember when Bonnie won like 8 grammys for that album. never heard of her then, but in hindsight she deserved it...

  • Tank for sure did a better job.

  • The piano kills me

  • Hate that I can relate to this song right now.

  • @LustfullOne Same here, thats why I came lookin for it.

  • heart breaker for sure .thats how i feel to tonite . gave up this fight .she stil young dont blame her .in my 50;s , but dam stll hurts

  • @PiusMarshall Don't feel old! Bonnie is 61!

  • Many sad memories......

  • WOW what a great song!! Such melancholy & heartache,this song speaks to one's soul

  • Not very often has actual heartache and that "empty feeling" been acurately translated into a song. This is one of those few times.I have sang this song countless times with tears and pain. Missing the person it was about each time. Sometimes it would be so much easier if we could just "make them love me". Thanks so much for posting

  • I've always loved this haunting yet heart wrenching song. I've dedicated it to more than one person in my life in my past who i've loved....but the love was never returned back to me. so I can totally relate to this song in many ways. thanks for posting this lovely song. no one sings it like Bonnie.

  • You speak directly to me...............and now you've set me free....... Thank you Bonnie!

  • best of the bests :) !!!! lovin so much

  • Its so slow and she sings it perfectly.. Soul , feling

  • stunning song....

  • he says he love me beyond time and space but i've been hurt so bad its hard 4 me 2 trust .even thou he's there with me now 4 everything i love him more than life itself i'm just scared

  • you can't make someone love you if they don't

  • This is such a great song! I do always think about my soul mate when I hear it...too bad he didn't ever realize he was.

  • @lightningskies I'm right there with ya sister! Known the guy for 20 years and he still doesn't understand. Men for ya! :)

  • makes me just want to look into my boyfriends eyes and lay next to him

  • My only wish is that one day, I'll be good enough for you to love me again. I'll wish till the end of time.

  • Great rendition of this song. So soulful. She almost makes the song hers, but I still like Maria Bello's so much. Kind of a tossup... different styles, both magnificent. 

  • @lightlyone check out my version of this, I'd love to know your comments!

  • Ramona its for you..................

  • if i can just make a wish to have a power to make him love me.

    i love this song very much.

  • Pure and simple ...... Thank you Ms. Raitt

  • It was my fault, I know. But it still hurts me deeply when she left me for another. It was in May and I still ache. Whenever I hear this song, it reminds me of her and our last time together. To say it was bittersweet is an understatement.

  • i feel lonely

  • Sadness,hurt,painfully Love !

  • One of my Favorite songs by a great singer!  And it is so true that it hurts.

  • @Starjock2 Does it Ever! My life has changed so abruptly since losing My "Best Friend" in July.

  • One of the greatest recordings ever made...

  • damn this song is tough. Have heard it for a while now, but today it came on during design class and i got on the mission of tryna find out who sing's it! she got skills! and she beautiful!

  • what are you going through. i could listen.

  • This song is so perfect for what I'm going through right now.

  • This was my all time fav song of hers for yrs. Yeap, maybe it still is .Makes me cry!

  • love this song!

  • love this song, makes me sad though! :(

  • I love this song so many ppl have tried to do it but i have to say that Prince and Tank did the song some justice

  • Sarah's mum 2 me

  • Great song Bonnie Raitt.

  • No matter how many times I listen to this song, it always makes me cry...

  • this song is timeless!

  • whenever our band would play this bonnie raitt song, the dance floor would fill to capacity... This song is endless as time...

  • I'm crying right lnow. Such memories. It applied when I first heard this song and I still feel the words working on me.

  • @mwasser11 --This song was written by a great football player, his name is Mike Reid and he played for Penn State in Joe Paterno's early years, he once recorded 3 safeties in one game against Maryland, went on to play pro for the Cinci Bengals. Bonnie just pours her heart into this wonderful song.

  • Simply the best .... 

  • My heart hurts when I listen to this song, I guess its part of the healing process. I truly loved her but I was to stubborn to let her in my life. Im sorry.

  • Tank did a good job of this cover

  • @iAmLPhoeniX I AGREE

  • @iAmLPhoeniX I still think this version is MUCH better though.

  • @iAmLPhoeniX Yes, and so did George Michael, but Bonnie's been the inspiration...now I know why...

  • @iAmLPhoeniX

    Bonnie's still the original and best IMO, but Tank's version is right up there with hers! No one else has ever come close. I can listen to hers without crying, but I can't hear him sing it without crying all the way through. Would love to hear these to do a duet of this song! Can even imagine how awesome that would be...

  • @iAmLPhoeniX and I love it! this song is amazing

  • she did a good job. I like tank version better

  • such an honest song.

  • love this song <3

  • I've always loved this song. The original. Artists have covered but Bonnie did it best.

  • @tiffanye123 your absolutely right

  • Tank covered this song, and he did well. Timeless music.

  • this song hurts

  • this song is so sad...but beautiful and soulful....omg

  • I've been a Bonnie fan since I was in high school many years ago, but this is the first time I listened to this song and it actually made me cry !! She so RAWKS !!

  • I love this original version

  • Pure light.... Amazing dedication to J-Bird... fro L-Pop.... I love you baby..... there;s nothing else but love.,.... <3

  • I looked to my right and it suggested adam lambert's reindition among various others and I thought to myself no thank you bonnie is the best no one can even light a candle to her.

  • @keepingitreal15 well put your so ight

  • This is one of my all time favorite songs! 

  • This is a song that I truely enjoy listening to when I'm sitting alone in my home office and quietly singing along. What a great artist! :)

  • This is a fabulous song but the very best version is by Nancy WIlson, who manages to capture the tragic emotion and discordant depth of the lyric. Her voice is almost crippled by the pain of it all. A stunning rendition. Particularly her pause at the "if you don't' part. So much more emotional than this. Go on, have a good cry. We have all been there.

  • Bonnie Raitt has the right voice for this song, and thumbs up to Bruce Hornsby for doing the piano arrangments for this song. Just beautiful.

  • When I first heard this I was stunned. They picked the right woman to sing this song.

  • *long sigh*...... *sigh*

  • This is what I'm dealing with right now. Unrequited love sucks.

  • so true

  • Bonnie is GORGEOUS! Real, Live, Can't Touch Her!

  • You know, I have heard so many types of music in my travels, but I gotta tell ya, this song just happens to be one of my top fav. I can relate to the lyrics all to well. I bet you can as well.

  • i feel like this song was just for me at a time in my life , so glad its over

  • I cant help but cry when I hear this :( ohhhh

  • i have never heard a song so true....except for Yes Jesus love me.

  • I like the George Michael version the best...seems like this is a popular song for people to cover. George Michael has the right amount of silk in his voice to really reach for the soul in this song, in my opinion.

  • How true this song is...it hurts so bad....had a night exactly like this with the person I'll always love the most, someone I believe was and will always be my true sole mate

  • cdizzletrp obviously has no soul and enjoys swallowing loads of cum...

  • its a wonderful song - amazing........

  • Love this song!!! So much passion....soul!

  • Grown men crying isn't shameful...but i wouldn't date one :)

  • I'll always be there for you.

  • this song is RIGHT WHERE i am in life right now with my boyfriend of almost 6 years. yep....the promise ring has come off...and "marriage dream talk" is now forbidden.

    actually helps to sit and look up gut wrenching songs on youtube.

    ughhhhhhhhhhhfuckkkk

  • GREAT SONG 

  • ITS SO SAD BUT YET BEAUTIFUL AND ADDICTIVE......I LOVE WHEN SHE SINGS "AIN'T NO USE OF ME TRYING TO MAKE YOU", LOVE IS BLIND ITLL HAVE YOU SAYING POETRY WHILE TRYING TO TELL THE OTHER PERSON HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THEM......IT FEELS LIKE YOUR WHOLE HEART HAS SUNK INTO A PIT A LITTLE HIGHER THAN THE FIRE BENEATH......

  • TO ME THE BEST VERSION......!!!!!!

  • This songs really touchs home for me

  • i really started liking this song, ever since i heard Corey Levoy sing this song, this is a very sad song and its really beatuiful great job:)

  • i can't make you love me, if you don't.

    but i wish i could, and i wish you did.

  • how in this world someone is capable of don't like this song???? There are 13 of then, peoble who never felt love before....

  • Great chorus

  • :_(

  • LUV YA BONNIE.THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR TALENT.

  • Love this song so much........

  • who could possilbly dislike this song...and im a man!!!!lol

  • so true!!!!!!! feeling this song right now!! i will give up this fight!!!!

  • beautiful song .... why do people with broken hearts seek songs like these ... just reminds and prolongs the heartache .....

  • @lithgowrat because it makes them feel like they're not alone.

  • @lithgowratwhen you listen and cry it out,it'll pass over faster.and then move on.bottling it up prolongs,(or postpones),it.let it out now and get it over with....i guess that'll be why they listen to it.

  • This song reminds me of my daughter's father... love this song... very true...

  • All I can say is George Michael is gay and I can bet any man singing this song- straight or gay or bi or trans- could not make it better- so go back on your dance floor until you learn better tastes.

  • @jonadoug First what does Sexual Orientation have to do with anything? Second, why does one version have to be "better" then the other? I just listed to George Michael's version, and it was good. I know people always want to compare remakes to the original, but why can't there just be two different artists who sing two good versions of a song?
