Marshall Crenshaw Whenever You're On My Mind (HQ)

[HeartInThe60s]

*weeps* where did music go????

[97doodlebug]

Great, great song. This guy should have had A LOT more airplay. Very good guitarist as well.

[petecxcx]

Saw Marshall and Dave Edmonds in Chicago a few years back (probably 7 yrs now). They both played solo and were outstanding!

Crenshaw - One True Rocker and one of the true Greats! One of my all time favorites! Keep Rocking Marshall.

[goofygoat2009]

great song

[markm5997]

MC is the BEST! My wife and I instantly fell in love with this song the first time we heard it in '83. I agree with those who feel he should have been a household name.

Of course, he has always been so in our household! Absolutely a wonderful musician! Thank you Marshall!

[Maxharddrive64]

The reason you don't hear music like this anymore is becuase alot of musicians don't know where their music comes from and they don't know how to play a chord on a guitar clean with out distortion. And never mind chord structure

[Hemlock54]

If I ever get married, this is the first song I dance to.

[ara1970]

Would love to see the original video again...spring of 1983!!

[rb62470]

I always really liked this song, but the music drowns out the vocals. I can make out very little of what he is singing. It's not down to his vocal style or anything; it just needs to be levelled better (imho).

[billboze]

@rb62470 Your right! I have always thought that as well. I do have the record and its not as bad as this recording. Sounds awesome through head phones.

[lrd9999]

@rb62470 I don't mind it nearly as much as when an egotistical lead singer drowns out everything else, but I believe it's exacerbated by the fact that the guitar plays in unison with his voice at the start of each chorus. Maybe they should have separated them L vs. R during those sections. This could also use more bass, but it sounds great otherwise.

[stardaddyo9]

people will still be listening to MC when Justin What's his name is just a trivia question.

[bassmanjoe]

Fantastic!!

[ralphian67]

That opening guitar riff is so undeniably woven into my soul. I think it heals me. Love you Marshall. 

[kirkwood512]

Woke up this morning with song on my mind and just had to hear it. Great song! Ahhh! Now I can start my day. :)

[CLEVELANDJOHNNY]

ABSOLUTELY A SMASH HIT BY A TRULY AMAZING MUSICIAN< POET< SINGER/SONGWRITER. BRILLIANT FIRST NOTE TO FADE OUT !!!!

[yoburke]

in a just world, Crenshaw would be a superstar, & Justin Bieber would be shining shoes at the airport...

[markm5997]

@yoburke what a perfect way of putting it! LOL...I totally agree!

[KOSMICKEN09]

@yoburke ok ENOUGH with the bieber comments it's the most tiresome thing ever on youtube.

[jmarch100]

God damn!



[cmmolthr]

@yoburke I couldn't agree more

[HeartInThe60s]

@yoburke - lmao! GREAT GREAT comment!!!!

[thewifflegod]

Original video was awesome! Too bad they kill all the great things!

[dbhowland49]

jingly jangly

[micktheMaag]

Marshal definately had a minimal bubble gum pop sound with a very descent voice and easy listening capabilities... easy to sing along with and identify with...

I definately enjoyed his sounds and songs.... take a good listen and save..

[alda0108]

Thanks for posting! I saw him in NJ in the late 70's and fell in love with him and had this album. Great memories!

[poptopia1]

pop perfection!

[dannydutchboy2011]

loveeee this song!!!!

[cynicalgirl5]

LOVE this hook- Such talent! there's no one like him-

[flash7725]

He should have been a household name. Absolutely love this guy's music.

[msxeno]

Still great after all these years. Oh, and a big raspberry to whatever record company yutz forced YouTube to yank the original video.

[55westend]

@msxeno Is that what happened? I love the original video - - hope it comes back!

[AdamCoffin13]

I played the hell out of this cassette when I first bought it in 1983....great from start to finish. I need to buy it again!

[TheAgwoodliffe]

One of my favs. Thanks a lot!

[DharamrajKaur]

the best...had on cassette in the early 80s...still love it

[11xzxzxz]

One of the greatest songs I've ever heard.

[plub114]

A true original pop-master. In the tradition of Buddy Holly, Beatles, Squeeze,etc...

You either have it or you don't . Glad to hear he still does! Thanks for posting his songs!!

[trashy2012]

Saw him live 5 years ago,he still has it!!!

[chuckdiann]

Only heard this song on one station in chicago wxrt in the early 80's. Had to go out and buy the album. Still have it. Great song.

[funkycandycool]

@chuckdiann I did the same exact thing!!!! Still love it, too.

[hibob418]

Why this song was never a major hit is beyond me. Great hook - thanks for posting.

[aer71367]

I used to listen to this song for hours!

[Songmandave1]

awsome..........new wave Dave

[csp1csp1]

never received enough air play ..... soooooo sorry 1980's radio has thrown it away ... i think some never knew it existed ... such a shame , it's such a super nice song !!!

[sherryannelee]

beautiful song takes me back
