God I love this song!! Spent many times riding my bike through nameless towns being wild and free and reckless.Listening to this song takes away all my anger makes me happy!! 15 people are morons!!
I got married to my life companion and best friend on 08.08.2008. We danced to this song. She said she didn't really liked it before, but now as it's playing she looks at me with the smile and the look in her eyes that says it all...
The piano performance is brilliant, as everything "Smokie" ever did. The version has never come out on vynil so it has been a nice surprise to find it now.
@jhunrose1 Too right brother, this song and arrangement just sweeps the years away. The memories I recall are so lovely, shame I cannot share. Go Well.
Thank you Pat Benatar for performing this LIVE this year 2010... from your first album "In the Heat of the Night" back in late70's early 80's. Your version was
so beautifully done and hauntingly perfect. You ROCK !
When I used to be a little girl ,I felt in love with Chris Norman and got luck few years after to met him personal.So Im his big fan :) But thats doesnt meant because i dislike Smokie's performance without him. And yes, arrangment is great.
This was my weddingsong at my wedding. We danced to this instead of any old dreaded music. Reminds us about all the trips on our touringbike around Europe, all the memories we shared, as well as all the friends and the parties we held... This is one of Smokie's best. Even if the version with Chris Norman is even greater...
this is no way the original version, or not in this mix with the piano at least, the piano ruins it to my mind but then I may be a grumpy old man, haha

there are some who really doesn't know how to appreciate lil' things in life,and some just take love for granted in so many f ways,some drove a lovin' arms away,play and shove some trust away as well..sad but true.
They are the best, is just that a lot of people don't know them, despite they have sold more than 35 million albums, and have 13 top 20 hits in the 70's.
one of the best songs ever! beautiful beginning with the piano which is the background afterwards. makes me thinking about many things... this song is making my life better ;-)
i love all their songs.. but when your feelin blue this is the one that picks you up.. can anyone please tell me are smokie comin to ireland soon. i have yet to see them in concert..??
Just got married a few months ago, and instead of using the same old music for the ceremony. We used this song to dance the "bride's dance" just before midnight...
It says a lot about us, our relationship and how we spend our time. Started driving motorbike in our 40'ties, and have travelled most of Europe on the back of it since. She's 12 yrs older than me, and it's the best woman I've ever had. Love her to death, and I know she loves me too...
I love to read this.. My boyfriend is 6 yrs younger than me, and people have ALOT to say about it. But i have never meet a man who is as smart as he and i love him whit every pieace of my heart.
In Sweden? Really?!?! Don't bother about it - love conquers everything, and love has no age at all...
I was 34 yrs old when we met, and her family called her a "babysnatcher"(!) - They didn't even come to our wedding this year, even though we've been together for many years! We have a great marriage, and lead a good life together. I'm stunned that age means so much for some people in 2008! And in nordic countries like ours too!!! I wish you all the best, and don't give up!!! ;o)
Es el mejor grupo de todos los tiempos, el unico que con escuchar sus canciones levanta los sentimientos mas profuntos, mas ocultos, y los mas bellos que tanto tiempo atras desterramos por culpa del paso de los años.
the side of the world, that speaks english they never feel a song beautiful without you know it speaks about...
when i heard it... back in the seventies i had no clue what it says... but i loved it... since that time i'v got in english a little so i just like better this.. we listened from the luxembourg radiostation and tried to record on some old tape recorder...
there were no computer yet... people don't even heard about monster named internet :-))
This was Smokie's biggest hit as well, just next to Living Next Door To Alice. It's gorgeous - showed that Chinn & Chapman were capable of writing nice melodic ballads as well as rock'n'roll anthems.
Everybody has their choice but someone should post this song by Pat Benatar. The tempo is more upbeat and you really need to have a little of the wild side in you. My first wife was 18 and just out of a Catholic girls school. We ran off to Las Vegas from Barstow, California and got married in the "Chapel of the Fountain" located in the Circus, Circus Hotel. 25 years later I realize I had a little tiger on my hands and did not know it. Last saw her in Sept. '83. Would like to see her. bilbo2shire
oh ... love this song...I can't help but to reminisce the good old days :-))
