I saw Richard Marx in concert in 1992 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis. He performed this song just before it was released on album. Awsome concert! I had 5th row center, and paid $5 for the ticket.
I've never seen this version before... this is simply AWESOME.. a classic!!!
Richard Marx is a true songwriter.. singer.. story teller.. whose voice just gets better as the years go by! I know... cause I saw and heard him 3 weeks ago....
I have a picture with him in a rehearsal before a concert, and hear him up close is awesome. His voice is perfect, never wrong, this is who is singing .... LEARN
i agree highlander01 just seen richard marx at the royal concert hall on 25th may 2011 and he blew me away i already knew he was a superb singer songwriter,but the rapore with his fans was second to none,the fans were shouting which songs to sing and he obliged,i have now been to various concerts over the past 20 years and the richard marx concert is now my fave of alltime,how this guy was not mega in th uk god only knows hazard is a close second but my fave is children of the night
I keep going from site to site, can,t decide which one I enjoy the most, it just gets better. His vocals, the band, and the lyrics just keep drawing me back , I can,t get enough
Brilliant!! Beautiful song sang live by the beuatiful Richard Marx. Love it very much!! I remembered watching him when he was in Singapore. Brilliant and the crowd went gaga over him..!! Excellent!!
"Hazard" tells the story of an implied relationship of some kind between Marx's character (usually considered the protagonist) and a woman named Mary. Mary is presumably murdered and Marx, shunned by many in the small town since his childhood, is immediately considered the main suspect. Marx, however, maintains his innocence throughout the song, and the question of such is left open to the listener's interpretation.
@baltecbrad i dont think shes dead at all,the river is always talked about as a place they dreamt about leaving the town,& it says "until the night she went out walking all alone,& never came home" & then he "needs to make it to the river,& leave this old nebraska town",so i think the town just finally got to her,& she skipped without him,& he wants to follow her..but possibly unrequited love,& he never featured in her plan to leave,as it never says they were together,just his feelings for her
I always was amazed by Mr. Marx's awesome voice. This album had such beautiful guitars leads and solos. Hazard was one of my favorite songs growing up as well. And it still destroys most crap on the airwaves today.
bad cloths.. no charisma..no stage presense.. deluded.. . --> this cud be the possible comments if he was competing for x factor infrnt of simon cowell, & good of nothing rest of the judges...
im not that crazy to compare him with x-factor contestants. i never belive x-factor or any other reality talent show can create an "artist" or "legend"
This song is so haunting, it stays with you for a long time after hearing it. Story telling at it's best. I was a teen when Richard Marx broke out on the music scene, I so wish I would've opened up my mind to his music then. I love him now that I am in my 30s. Good Stuff. It is rare to find music and artists this great now days.
Who knows why, 10 yrs. ago my then preferred airline used to play exactly this song right before landing at somewhat 'hazardous' destinations like Miami, Male or Hong Kong.
Instead of soothing and calming me, it always scared the hell out of me...
Parece que nos dias de hoje as musica não são musicas! É dificil entende isso! Basta olhas para os ultimos 10 anos, tem alguma musica que marcou até hoje? Dificil!
Antigamente se cantava as? coisas simples, simplesmente musicas, boas letras.
Hoje não, ta tudo um lixo, tudo em cima de filosofia ridicula, do eu sou mais eu!!! que bosta.
It's so beautiful. I found this after almost 20 years... I used to watch the video on mtv. Now I fell in love with it again. Now I understand this sadness.... It makes goosebumps!
Richard originally was going to bag this song off the album and never thought it was worth the time for anyone to hear. His wife heard it and told him it must stay on the album. It became one of his biggest hits.
Great song...nobody could sing it better that this man...I've noticed something,Richard Marx does not show facial expressions,does he?i've watched many of his live performances and his face is so relaxed,so "the same"...but i know for sure that he feels every word he sings because he also makes me feel every word he sings...
I never like to hear singers live cause it sounds so different from the recording. Not this one, i was speechless when I heard it, he is totally amazing. God Bless him.
