What a band, what a song.. this song begins generating emotions from the first line. The band may not have been the same without Pete, but the talent of Tom Evans is shining through...
Another song I loved on this I loved was Sympathy ....it did my heart so much good when this came out and I saw them on Don Kirshners rock concert ..I made up a cassette of a few of these songs along with the originals ...and all my dates loved these songs ....great mood setters!!!...ahh to be young again ....
Gottah know your manager or you will get sunk really bad. Just like Grand Funk Railroad in their early years...and the Beatles which was a contributor to their disbanding along with another item we know all too well.
This song and "Love is Gonna Come At Last" are two of the few Badfinger songs that I liked after Pete Ham's death.
Other than those two songs, I really don't consider Badfinger Badfinger without Pete Ham. The same thing goes for when I've seen Joey Molland live twice (playing Badfinger songs). Of course, for those concerts, it was more like Joey Molland playing a live tribute to Pete Ham, since it was mainly songs of Pete Ham's.
Badfinger had the most tragic story in music that I know of.
Youth fades; time takes no prisoners. Sadness always fills my heart when I see these guys. I am glad I became a Christian. Life is better now--Badfinger music almost put me over the edge when Pete died. Be careful how deeply music you listen to mesmerizes and influences the heart and soul, for out of them flow the issues of life.
Joey and Tom made a lp that came out after this one.SAY NO MORE is the name of the lp and it is a kick ass rock album.Underated and never played as usual.That is what pisses me off about radio.
not so much with radio as much as poor management.
as you know with the manager with management of this group, once they left apple (hence, 'apple of my eye..apple of my heart), they became victims of stan polley.
and this guy from what i can see is alive and well (see google page) and 3 of the members are gone. sad.
Polley is indeed alive, in his 80's, living the high life in California. You can locate him online with little effort. How he can live while these brilliant artists die so young?
I put this beautiful song on the first mix cassette I gave my wife many years ago. No wonder she fell for me ;)
it was in the key of A

Tommy Evans & Joey Molland with Joe Tansin were a great band. It's still
BADFINGER and it is still a great band. So check out Joe Tansin's new song here on YOUTube "The Last Ride" It'll break yer heart mates.
AIRWAVES & Say No More were two really great BADFINGER cd/Records. Go search them out. You'll like them a lot!

Definitely one of my favorite songs from Tom Evans. I believe he was up there with Pete as far as writing the best songs of the group.

This was about four years after Pete's death. Mike wasn't part of the 1979 reunion album Airwaves, from which this song came.
