Sitting alone in my lonely room in my lonely small town, listening and hoping that one day, a guy like this would say these words to me....and he did (may have taken 30 years..but he did!)
Ray Maguire, or McGuire I've forgotten which, but I alway's thought he was one of Canada's best vocalists. In fact, Canadian or otherwise. Thanx for the phenomenal post. Haven't heard it in at least 25 yrs.!!!!!!!!!
THANKYOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS WONDERFUL SONG,FOR BRINGING BACK FOND MEMORIES OF HIGHSCHOOL DANCES,THE SMELL OF PATCHOULLY ON MY GIRLFRIENDS NECK WHILE DANCING SLOW TO THIS,AND BEST OF ALL SUMMER OF 79 PARTYING WITH TROOPER,SAULT STE MARIE ONTARIO,MEMORIAL GARDENS,TURN IT UP OR TURN IT OFF,REMEMBER?ALL MY HEART TO YOU GUYS,CURTIS
This was the song I chose for the first dance with my wife at our wedding. She was a pretty lady back then and I always think of her when I hear the song play.
All these years later she is still the most beautiful woman in the world to me and this song brings me back to the night we danced to it all those years ago.
Trooper thanx for the music. Only a very special song can bring a person back that many years again and again and again....
If u like Trooper try Blue Rodeo...CND Band....they were awesome live up in Whistler Square after the Hockey game...in a sea of Red and White.... grt. time.
This has been my favorite song since I was about 10 years old. I played it for my fiance who had never heard it before. It was cool to have it as our first dance at our wedding.
Great song, very nice souvenirs and your comments are really appropriated. They are reflecting what we could imagine while listening to this song. Thanks! Great Job!!!
I grew up thru the 60's 70's 80's I have many favourite bands from all over the world but I have to say that April Wine makes you feel your emotions and it helps myself to deal with lifes little problems.
I've been searching for free trooper songs downloads for quite sometime.. Luckily i found this.. Hope you can help me with "ONLY A FOOL", IT COMES & IT GOES" and this song pretty lady...
i have to say, that she love me with the same intensity, as i love her, and she is a real fan of trooper .Thank for upload this song with the liryc, it help me to touch her soul
my pretty lady, my pretty lady,,, here i am....... here i am,,,,,,,,show me you can change my life,,,,,since i saw you the first time, i knew i would love you forever........my love for you is forever......i am here .........my heart is not moving...... waiting for you.........
my beauty, my love , my pretty lady you are in my mind all the time, when i found this video, it touch my soul and made me love you even more.Here i am, my heart on my sleeve, hat in hand, you said you can love me....love now... change my live.. please do it now!!! love you ... tf
Oh darling, every girl becomes a 'dumpster diver' when they see my junk. Seriously though, I have always loved this song. One of the few that can makes you melancholy and reminisce about 'could have beens' and 'should have beens' and, especially, the ones that were.
@floatingcompassmedia gay nuthin gay about it,and those are words of today,those days were the best days of my life,the best of our beloved canadian bands,i live in the sault i saw these guys 3 times,i partied with trooper i will never forget it,how this music made me feel,my shiney black long hair,long leather coat,white t shirt,tight faded jeans,smelled great,best days of our life,mine anyway,ist harley,1st love,first dooby,and 1st......man heaven,hang on to heaven pretty lady,yours~curtis~
My name is Richard Gordon and I am an English teacher from Houston Texas. I hate poetry so I use trooper songs in class as an alternative to the set curriculum. I have since been fired from the school for sexual impropriety but Trooper will always have a place in my heart. Rock on!
@ramsIgordo More details about the "sexual impropriety" please! And good on you for using Trooper. Now back to the gory details. Curious minds want to know.
@ramsIgordo, wow! what a worst thing could happen to a man. well, the offence you have committed sir, is a serious one. if in my country you could be stone to dead, for the same offence. i hope you can repent and turn a new leaf.
@ramsIgordo leave Trooper and sexual impropriety separate. It's awkward. I can understand your pain though...I was once an "exotic dancer" outside of a truck stop/restaurant that was famous for it's karaoke bar on the weekends, just outside of Mackinaw City. It was wonderful, just how beautiful some of those trucker's could make a man feel. Then it happened...I bludgeoned a man to death for calling me a whore and had to quit the game. But I still love Trooper.
@ramsIgordo you should have your balls cut-off. There is no excuse for perverts like you in this world. Nevermind people like you who get in a position of authority with children. Peole like you destroy the souls forever that you mess with. Even jail is too good for your kind. Now, go to hell. And do wreck a classic love song, with your sick mind.
I haven't had a pretty lady in my life for so long... But, I know all about the prince juice that makes you see pretty ladies everywhere... BOMBS AWAY!
Wow, the timing with the lyrics is done very well. This song takes me right back to the carefree days of my youth. It makes me want to cry! I love Trooper - his voice is amazing!!
Yes your right I danced to this song at my high school with alot of nice looking women when I was 16 in 1983. Had even more fun after the dance. Oh how those were fun times!! I wish I could go back for just a night to relive some very times during those good years. Now I'm 41 and life is not as rose coloured as it was back then :-(
Can't complain how it turned out but this song captured the moment and the era of the late 70s/early 80s for me.
hebber, you're right, the words are 'I feel like I've weathered eternal storm', and 'a face of clay and yet so warm' -not how the words are in the video. Ra McGuire has written some excellent tunes.
lot great memories seen these guy 4 times and give great memories at lulu `s in kitchener . a very great concerts indeed .they put there heart and soul in every concert and getting crowd into it keep rocking boys Leon Culp
I got to thank this song for making my wife and I make back up in 1998, she is now my wife and we are really sensitive to this song...Thanks a lot for uploading this song!!!
My honey sent me this song on my bday this year, 13 years and still going strong. I love him so much. Stewart.
