The band was still popular. They just didn't stand the test of time as well, also got overlooked later in their career. They had 3 albums go multi-platinum, there are 1000's of bands that will never do that.
This song could have done good for them if it got promoted better.But MCA was too busy trying to find more metal bands at the time,so they overlooked this album completely.Reason To Be is the best track on this album.
@BBKlima i know this band is completely awesome just wished this was a hit still it makes me feel like i own this song lol as not many people have heard it :) or :(
I loved this song, although it sounded like a parallel of "When You Close Your Eyes" that ended tragically! I was a member of the NR Fan Club, and saw them in '87. When Fitz left in '88, and their first "Man in Motion" single (written by a non-member) tanked in the fall, I knew they were dead in the water. My local station in Asheville NC only played "Don't Start Thinking" one time by my request.
@JeffLeather Thats awesome my friend shame don't start thinking wasn't a success it sounded like it shame music changed before night ranger could release man in motion i have uploaded the live version of dont start thinking on my channel check it out if you're interested take care.
This song should have been placed on the Greatest Hits album instead of "Restless Kind" though that's a good song too. All the songs on the album are killer. It's my favorite Night Ranger album and I play it on my iPod every week just about.
This uncredible band split up just because the record company took way too much influence! Songs like "I did it for love" wouldn´t have been on Man In Motion if it hadn´t been for them! Blades thought it was too mainstream. But the company insisted. They needed a single. He said that in different interviews here in Germany. Otherwise who knows ... maybe it wouldn´t have been the time for another fantastic band ... Damn Yankees!
@jafipriest definetely time for a fantastic band like the damn yankees too come along although i love man in motion i think everything needs a change from time to time. i have uploaded dont start thinking i'm alone tonight live on my channel if you're interested.
Great song from the Man In Motion album ... The record company screwed up, with that album, by releasing the wrong song for the first single. Should have been this, or "Reason To Be"
@Padarack1 hello i think they did screw up in a way i think because big life bombed although went gold which was alot less than what they were normally certified i think promotion might of been poorer and also big life tour they toured with the outfield so alot of the hard rock fans would of been frustrated that they were among the same lines of a pop/rock group so i think there would of been a decline and also they opened up for kansas with the man in motion album so.... thanks for commenting.
@miketheblueeagle Hi. I saw Night Ranger open up for Kansas in Jan. 89 in St. Louis. This was by far one of my most favorite concerts!! Night Ranger was excellent, as was Kansas. I also loved this album. I don't think Night Ranger got enough credit for this album. I don't remember hearing any of the album on the radio.
@SugaMetal07 thats awesome i take it they didn't play any man in motion stuff though? if they did i would be shocked and jacks voice has gone quite a bit or did it sound the same when you saw them?
@renrob88 hello i have just uploaded don't start thinking live 1989 on my channel take a look if you're interested take care and thanks but i don't know if it was the same show you were at?
Thanks for putting this up. This band is my second favorite after the Scorpions. Do you know if there is an actual video to this song? I love this song!
Thanks for putting this song here. I was hearing this today at work on my live from Japan cd and I forgot my cd. I really wanted to hear it tonight! Really great song!
If you go on night rangers official website and click on the video time machine thing you can find i did it for love!!! but youtube doesn't have it i tried to upload it and it got blocked
I'm glad you posted this Mike.I've been looking for this song for a while.I noticed you have some Night Ranger on your page,but I didn't know you posted this song until now.I did subscribe.
Thanks for subscribing Ron much appreciated if there's any night ranger songs you want i'll have it since i own every album apart from feeding off the mojo. Thanks again
ooh i just realized that they ripped a song off their new album from this one. Their new album has a song called "bye bye baby"

I always thought this was a great song, and I agree, it SHOULD have been released as the first, maybe second single.
The live version is great too.

This is a awesome Night Ranger song!! The live version from Japan is great too!!
This song should have been a number 1, but never got the exposure it deserved.
At least those of us who know it, can still appreciate it!
