  • I am in love with this song. I've never heard of this guy or this song, I just stumbled upon it and OMG... sadly this is me. Going through a divorce as we speak! blah. Sounds like a Steve Wariner song or something. I just love it. That's all. :oP

  • Rest in peace Dan. You'll always be with me

  • blake shelton cut this on red river blue

  • What a beautiful, poignant song that is sung in a way that only the great Dan Seals could sing it! A Masterpiece!! BobbyK

  • Dan seals was a very underrated singer/song writer

  • @geversonsr your DAM RITE!!!!!!!!!

  • Always tears me up...especially now that I know exactly how 'she' feels.... ;(

  • Gorgeous song and he does a fantastic job singing it. However, Cheryl Wheeler wrote it. There is a YouTube of both of them singing it as a duet. What a lovely voice he had (and Cheryl still has).

  • Addicted to Dan's music.........rest with the angels Dan .......thank you for your grace of beautiful music .........thank you for posting .........Peace

  • I have been looking for this song forever.. could not remember the name.. she knows she bounces like a yoyo was all I could remember haha.. thank you ...

  • Underappreciated.

    

  • my fav song by him underrated i would say yes

  • I remember this song: She feels like she's addicted to a real BAD thing: Always sitting there waitin' for the phone to RING!!! 1980's.

  • People do the craziest things when they are addicted to others

  • Never been a fan of this kind of music, but this song is the exception.

  • This is my favorite of his songs, very touching..

  • This song is a complete work of art. An absolute masterpeice. Dan Seals was a master talent and a great guy. I miss him everyday.

  • This song still gets to me.. I have been addicted to a lot of bad things... Thank the Gods I just got sick of hating the person looking back at me.

  • gsdfgsdg

  • brings back alot of old feelings

  • beautiful

  • One of my favorite songs of all time.. from the first time I heard it.. it truly captured where I was at the time.. and where I have found myself many times.. so beautiful.. hauntingly so.. anyone who knows what it's like to be addicted to a real bad thing.. can identify

  • Until you've lived the life he is singing about, you will never truly relate to this song. It is by far one of the best songs ever recorded by Mr. Seals, and one of my all time favorites personally. Living it, feeling it, then hearing Seals describe your own foolishness in a song can really drive some emotion out of you.

  • this so true omg i have lived it:(

  • I listened to this "tape" so much when it was released that I wore it out...all the way from the west coast to the eastern seaboard.

  • Everyone who is in a one-sided relationship needs to listen to this song! It's so accurate.

  • Dear Dan Seals Fans: I am asking anyone with Dan Seals first solo album: England Dan stones, 1980, to please post songs from this album, as many places are asking hundreds of dollars just for the CD! That is shameful and wrong, so, please, in Dan's honor, please post songs from the Stones album! I thank you so very much! Peace, BobbyK

  • @bobby7771117 yeah most of Dan's stuff is collector items, my cd of in a quiet room sells for used on amazon for 50 bucks which I would never give up!

  • This song literally saved my sanity and maybe my life ... my sister made me listen to this when I was the woman in the song with a bad relationship and it opened my eyes. Thanks, kiddo. I owe you big time, you and Mr. Seals ...

  • @jmacleve your comment touched my heart.i married a girl who drained my heart and soul but never had the courage to leave.found this song and it helped me though.i wish you all the best .

  • Wow, I had forgotten about this song. Thanks for sharing it with us; it's a great

  • Wow, I had forgotten about this song. Thanks for sharing it with us; it's a great one.

  • What a great song. No matter how much time passes by, this one always still seems to be brand new to me.

  • this song always makes me think of my 20th birthday.

  • its not for his hits i miss him but for the great music he would have made if he were still here.

  • It's been so long scence I heard this track. It reminds me of an ex girlfriend of mine Liz.

    She played this song everyday and I never got tired off it cuz it's a beauiful song.

    Liz has sence then moved on and so have I but does'nt stop me from missing her through after 14 years.

    If you see this Liz bebe just wanna let you know that I still think about you and the times we had.

    also thank you Dan seals for such a wonderful song and I'm deeply saddend that you'r gone man.. markwatters3@gmail.c

  • @roadhouse276 reminds me too but the roles were reversed in my case... moving on but can't image i'll ever forget her.

  • Who says this is underrated? This is quite possibly his single best song.

  • @PTCello Lots of people like Dan Seals but don't know or appreciate this song. That is what underrated means to me in this context. Obviously, those with taste know it is his best song.

  • I have not heard this song in years. It used to be my favorite song. :)

  • Thank you for posting this song. I love it and can never find it anywhere. Thanks again!

  • A voice, at peace, a soul taken too soon. Thank you Dan seals for being all you are and were!

  • Up until this moment-- I had NO IDEA that Dan Seals had passed away. I am truly saddened by this. His music got me through several really bad moments.

  • this song is so truthful .... i'm addicted to this song

  • nice one!!!mah favorite song!!!

  • ...Absolute sonic alchemy. Timeless, pervasive & legendary. Mr. Dan has forgotten more of Love & love expressed, than many of us will ever learn. His loss, can not be recovered. But may we gain comfort in knowing that God's chorus is made MORE beautious with him amongst it...

  • 100% Pillar... You Know!!

  • i've seen many bands but have never stood in line to meet one of them like i did with him at cornfest. he was and still is awesome.

  • I heard this song on the radio. Almost immediately I remembered my friend's relationship with this guy, and how it had gotten really rocky. It was then I realized how powerful a song this is, and how much emotion Dan Seals put into it.

    Rest in peace, Dan.

  • I don't there is an unmarried/unpartnered woman in America who can't relate to these lyrics happening to her at some point in her life. Very sad but excellent song. RIP Dan

  • I just pour myself a glass of a red wine, sit back and listen, and let my mine wonder. Care to join me? Thanks Dan.

  • B4 he went country, he was in Seals & Crofts, right?

  • @barbidoll0

    Negative. England Dan (Seals) and John Ford Coley

  • @mwduck o ok, thanks :)

  • Comment removed

  • @barbidoll0 No, but the late Dan Seals was the younger brother of Jim Seals who was with Seals and Crofts.

  • @barbidoll0 no that is his younger brother, that is part of that group

  • This song still touches a deep part of my heart from years ago...still so moving. Great song.

  • {:^( RIP Dan Seals

  • r.ip dan i miss you

  • best ever

  • This was one of my favorite songs... I just found out like 10 minutes ago that he died last year. That one really hurt, because I grew up listening to his songs... He was one of those singers that... his music's stuck with me all this time... Used to listen to his songs a lot with my grandma before she passed away 2 years ago... I'm honestly wishing I'd gotten the chance to meet him... Damn... RIP Dan, you'll be missed... ;_;

  • He was a great singer!! He will be missed!! But his music will live on!!!

  • i have ben after this song for i dont know how long and i found it now hellyeah

  • i have ben after this song for i dont know  how long and i found it now hellyeah

  • ah... what a song...

  • RIP Dan, I will miss your music!

  • @ jbeebrylle shut ya piehole

  • Best Song Ever !!

  • This is one of his most beautiful songs -- and you shouldn't speak ill of the dead. Especially when he had such talent!

  • If you don't like the song then don't watch the video and make stupid ass comments you asshole!!!

  • Todays Country Music has lost everything

    this is another song the Radio stations passed up.

    This is just a fantastic song.

    The skill in wrighting this song, he did everything right.

    He could have sang a phone book and it would have been great.

  • @keefer2111 very true. No music today like their used to be.

  • @keefer2111 couldn't have put it better, today's country is pretty bad compared to what used to be

  • This is just one of many great songs he recorded, I think he wroght this song thinking of my life,

    We  miss you Dan. I bet you and Chris are singing some great music.

  • His best in my opinion

  • I agree with you, Orig.

  • He was simple and humble.

    That what enhanced his great talend heart!!!

    The best Country singer song-writer!!!

    RIP.

  • GOD BLESS U...we love u d,,,

  • May I say as an englishman with no idea of American culture I was flattened by the sheer class that this song portrays. brilliance and entertainment, a true artist.

  • This song was on a casssette i had borrowed i remember a figment " she bounces like yoyo" and this was 16 yrs back................. how powerful can a song be i am hearing this after so many years and i can almost instantly recollect the golden light from the setting sun shafting into my room late in the afternoon.......... sad to know Dan Seals has passed away may his Rest In Peace

  • I saw the great Dan live in New Brighton (a seaside resort in Merseyside, UK) back in 1988. His set included this song, as well as 'I'd Really Love To See You...' and 'Love Is The Answer'. He is sadly missed.

  • this old fashioned girl is addicted to her man

    I love this song! His best in my eyes

  • Girls are not the women of old any longer..

    Most will cut your throat and blame you for it today.

    But it was a different time when Dan released this one...

    When Women liked being women

    I hope I live long enough to see those days come back around again....

  • A -FUCKING -MEN!!

  • ...No less different than boys not being men. How weak we've become when we've lost the true meaning of love between two. But I agree with your thoughts, "I hope I live long enough to see those days again"...

  • @arromac

    There is a huge distinction to be made.

    But it makes no difference in a debate. The only thing that can derail this terrible circumstance will be a long term depression and it is coming. Merry Christmas!!

  • Im sorry I am sure you have your reasons for saying so. But women haven't changed. Nor have men. Nothing wrong with being nostalgic, but things weren't as good or as bad as we remember. Nor are they as bad or as good now. There are women still standing by their men. And vice versa.And since this song was written by a woman, you will have to look at it from a females perspective.Check out the Cheryl and Dan duet if you want to see the writer of the song.And then you may see why she has such angst

  • Glad you have a objective perspective, but dont be naive.

    I would research court and work laws and outcomes before i said anything else...LOL

  • LOL....will do. I have been to bat three times with women. And had some fun divorces. But I still see women who stick it out. But I do understand why we would look fondly on our mothers and those women within our own family. But there have always been women who will cut your throat and try not to get any blood on their shoes as they leave. Oh I would agree that the court systems are definitely slanted in their favor. But not really their fault. Though they do take advantage of it.

  • I love this song for so many reasons.. and yes he is an addiction for me!.. so this song touches my heart in so many ways

  • Addictions can be broken if you want to quit bad enough. I know, easy to say, hiding behind a keyboard, but trust me it's true. Keep your head up and drive on!!! There is something/someone better out there .

  • A very nice song, like a lot he did!!!

    RIP DAN

  • ...Symphonic Excellence...

  • i just heard this on the radio and wanted to cry cuz i too must be addicted. and i know, no one deserves it, but when you have strong feelings for one especially when ginuine with them, its hard. so i definitely relate especially in my position right now...

  • Yes, sadly, he is RIP.

  • This explains my life rite now. Song explains it all just with the wrong person. I shouldn't be taking the crap he is doing now but like the song says " Addicted to a real bad thing"!!!

  • Comment removed

  • so is he cheating on you? if you dont mind me asking.

  • it is very nice to woke up every morning if you always hear this song.....

  • They should do a tribute album to him.

  • I´m very, very sad, he and John Ford Coley, were a very important part of my "LIFE SOUNDTRACK", GOD BLESS HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Dan Seals was one great singer,songwriter...its sad that hes Gone

  • his voice is so moving and captivating...im sad he's gone

  • The is an fantastic song, and so dead on about love, especially the kind where one person feels it more instensely. First heard it 20 years ago, when I was in love with the wrong young man, still makes me cry to hear it. Powerful.

  • Comment removed

  • This man was taken way too soon.

    A great talent in both the pop and country worlds

    Most of his songs tugged at the heart.

    He will surely be missed by me and I am sure by many others.

  • I agree!! This is my 1st or 2nd favorite Dan Seals song!! thanks for sharing! I met Dan few years ago in Medora, ND and he was so nice and personable! It's so sad he's gone too soon. RIP.

  • His best.  Well, maybe second to "Bop"

  • Damn! What happened to great music like this??

  • Excellent country voice but when it was in combination with John Ford Cooley's, it simply came to perfection. I love their album "I hear the music"

  • I understand, Wylonlover!! Makes me miss my husband. Funny how a simple song can take someone so far back in time. This is one of those songs for me....For a minute, I'm not a mom, not a wife, just a silly confused teenager......

  • Check out the version with cheryl wheeler, the writer of the song it is wonderful rendition.

  • man i miss my wife lol funny how a song can hit you at just the right moment huh??

  • awesome song. Indeed underrated

  • Can we upload videos correctly please? Not things we can't hear. thanks

  • One of my favorite Dan Seal songs. The chorus hits me every time

  • This song was popular here in Texas.RIP We all will miss u . GREAT SONG . Yes it is underated

  • RIP my friend, your music will live on!!

  • this song kinda reminds me of a bestfriend i have that i really love, but one minute he loves me back and one minute he dont...

    it sometimes makes me think about telling him to just stay away... but my heart wont let me.

    great song. :)

  • I don't know about the faith he chose to follow, but I know the music was good.

  • Dan could "hit home" like no other. I will miss him

  • This song is still a staple of Light Rock stations. I admired this man so much and his music will always be precious to me. RIP Dan

  • Rip DAN SEALS.

    We'll Miss Ya.

  • From Portugal: Thanks Dan Seals for so many great songs. You were the best. R.I.P.

  • pick a cowboy from up there and pass it on dan so we can have your music to keep us going....r.i.p .....england.

  • Sad loss ... didn't even hear about it until recently.

    My sister used this song to get me out of a bad relationship. Thanks, kiddo!

  • A true country legend...... His music is timeless

  • R.I.P DAN!! *SIGHS* another great loss

  • I love this song. I was very sad to hear that he had died

  • My husband told me a few hours that Dan has passed and all I have done is listen to his music, remember old times and cry (happy and sad tears). Thanks for the memories to Dan and all the legends who have gone home. You will be missed but not forgotten

  • ouch, this song is awesome but sucks at the same time, haven't we all had those relationships!! Good song tho, excellent artist

  • I remember this song very well. I played this song until the tape wore out....yes tape! Sounds so odd to say that these days.

  • Comment removed

  • Beautiful music, have enjoyed it for so many years. Hear you on the Other Side, Dan...

  • Dan Seals introduced me to country music. One great song after another, and all of them are still dear.

    Dan, you are wherever Jesus is. God Bless you...and Thank you...

  • he should have been in the country music hall of fame a long time ago rip dan

  • Its sad, because there are many like him that should be in there, but probably never will be. Ledoux would be another one.

  • only heard of Dan Seals last week,on my local radio Devon in UK, what a beautiful voice, been listening to Dan ever since, what a loss to country music .

  • one of the most underrated sinder/songwriters of our time. God blessed us when he created you, and you blessed us when you shared your talent. You will be missed.

  • We will always love you and thank you for the beautiful music you have left for us to enjoy.

    *This song was one that has always meant a lot to me.

  • Such a sad loss! Thank you Dan for all the wonderful music you have shared with us. Your music will remain with us for always. I will be sure to look up at the night sky often to see your Star shining brightly down on us. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family.

  • Did you know that this song was written by a great singer-songwriter named Cheryl Wheeler? Check out some of her videos on here.
