  • I don't care who I'm around, when this song come on, I WILL be singing and dancing. Poorly. <3

  • @hayleysneer92 lol :))

  • i had this album ..cassette tape...lost it though all these years of moving.....

  • @bandypaul I still have my Michael Franks cassettes tucked away in my closet along with all my other hundreds of cassettes!

  • I remember buying this album in college!

  • Michael franks is the real deal. Love him

  • So smooth and talented.

  • @MoviesTubeYou0675 Exactly....

  • This was the song that turned me onto contemporary Jazz and Michael's music - all the way back around '85. Music that still affects me today, the same as over 25 yrs ago. Thank you, Michael.

  • I would have never known about this song had I not worked at the Home Depot in Rialto CA with that damn music looping over and over on the friggin' intercom driving me out of my damn mind!

  • musica relajante !

  • i can't believe i've lived my whole life up to this point and never heard of this guy

  • @crittinger Welcome to Michael Franks' "Your Secret's Safe With Me".

  • (((GROOOVY)))

  • A unique musician who plays soothing uplifting music. A real mood elevator.

  • For many years I would hear this song each time I visited a TJ Maxx or a Ross store. I was determined to find out who sang this fabulous song. Thank God for YouTube to end the suspense :)

  • He Had a Music video for that hit. Can anybody try to find it or could create one for you tube?

  • This song reminds me of On The Beach by Chris Rea.

  • @jwmellott Oh, how I love Chris Rea, too:) Water Sign is one of my favorite albums of his. His early 80s stuff was unbelievable.

  • @jwmellott But much cooler of course!

  • @jwmellott There is a slower tempo version of Chris Rea's "On The Beach"...which I personally regard as the better one.

  • This track sounds so much like Steely Dan. Did Michael Franks write for them too or vice versa?

  • @MrGoblin60 Walter Becker did some work on his Blue Pacific album, either production or writing.

  • @David19225 Thanks mate. The sound is quite distinctive. Both are really high quality musicians.

  • It's for all time.

  • @poogg6

    a top 5 adult contemporary hit from the fall of 1984

  • I remembered seeing him on Video Soul.

    To this day, that was one of the coolest moments in Video Soul history.

  • brings back lots of good memories,would love to see him in concert.

  • thanks for uploading! i have not heard this song in over 20 years since Video Music Box on channel 3 in NYC

  • great song of the 80's !!!

  • Outstanding artist!

    Very much under-appreciated by the industry, nut fnas and musicians, know full well how important he has been to music in the past couple of decades!

  • I haven't heard this song in 25 years.  Thanks for posting!

  • This lovely song never gets old.

  • He got soul!

  • ascension indeed takes place upon listening to this melody...

  • When come in Hungary Michael?????? PLEASEEEEE!

  • A lost classic from 1985! It received moderate airplay on my local contemporary FM station that year. Bravo, Michael!

  • @ChihuahuaboyDH And they did a video for it...I remember watching it.

  • I remember when I first bought this CD and I just couldn't put it down! 

  • The man rocks !

    And has a wicked sense of humour that comes out in most of his songs !

    Funky Jazz style, to Latin jazz, through to romantic crooning !

  • So Good..What a tune

  • I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SONGS FOR YEARS! CROSS ANOTHER ONE OFF MY LIST!

  • I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SONGS FOR YEARS! CROSS ANOTHER ONE OFF MY LIST!

  • He's in Vegas tonight. Wish I could be there to see him. Last time I saw him was in Detroit, early 90s at the Fox Theatre. He was absolutely FABULOUS!

  • @adgurl01 Yes I've seen him several times in person over the years. He was terrific. Actually met him a couple of times. Nice guy.

  • @adgurl01

    You said you've met him....what was he like? Is he as sensual, gentle & sexy as he seems when he sings?? .....just wondering :-)

  • @Mystic7Sunset As mellow as he is on record, that's how he is in person. Very quiet laid back personable guy.

  • @boswell69 It's nice to know that he's like his music, Thank You :-)

  • @adgurl01 I saw him a few years back in San Diego, CA...yes, he was quite fabulous!!! IMO, one of the greatest lyricists ever......gets no cooler than this.

  • @adgurl01 I saw him at the Aliante. I think that's the concert you're talking about. He was alright but a little raspy. He seemed to be straining when trying to have a soft voice. He's getting old.

  • Genius at work.........Again............­..

  • smooth.....very nice music !!~

  • Loved MF's voice the first time I heard it. Thank you for featuring his great songs.

  • good song !!!

  • Yep this and "When I give my love to you" oh and "Please dont say goodnight" This was a great album, I must admit I have used his lines on a number of the unsuspecting and uninitiated ladies.

  • Thanks for bringing back great memories!

  • First heard this when I was in Minneapolis in the summer of 1985. LOVE IT!!!

  • Love the studio version, such a great song.

  • Great song, cheers for uploading the album version, the live version on YT is also worth listening to aswell.

  • One of my dad's (and my) favorites...thanks for the upload!

  • Another fabulous post here!!! Wow, this one takes me back a few years....lol. It was a great time in my life and this song played on the radio all the time! This is definitely Michael's best hit! Thank you Joseph for making my day!
