Wildflower - Skylark [HD]

[steve119100]

One of my favorite songs from back in high school. Outstanding vocals, and that beautiful, powerful guitar sound-kind of Santana-esque.

[hardheadedson]

This song is absolutely beautiful. And the accompanying video makes it priceless! Thanks for putting together such a masterpiece.I met my girlfriend when this song came out. This was our song,and 30 years later we're still married.This really brings back some wonderful memories.

[febzzianra]

I have the man with me who had awakened me ... he all did was to touch me, and all goes with this song

[sptinydancer]

This song so expresses how I feel. Often I lay down in silent pain and the words "For sleep's the only freedom that she knows". Thank-you - what a beautiful video to a timeless song.

[stircrazy10]

GrumpyMama54, reading your words gave me chills! I am so sorry that you went through some terrible things but I hope that life is much better for you and that you can finally be happy! This song does it for me too but for very different reasons. It's amazing how much music can touch a person and help them through some very difficult times in their lives!

Wish you all the best! :)

[barneyronnie]

Reminds me of the time, shortly after leaving the army, when I beat the tar out of some lousy pimp who was trying to strong arm one of his former girls to come back to work for him. After my "visit," he never bothered the young lady, and I heard that she married a great guy, and has a lovely daughter of her own.

[MsCarmen1952]

this song brings me memories, i close my eyes and see a 20 years old myself in 1972,,,,,,,,,,,,,,life is too short!,

[lassie999]

This is true of most women of today and yesterday and of all the tomorrows too. I love this song,but I often wonder if Dave the cop ever got his woman as his wife. When I man can write such words from his heart and soul ,all I can say is I hope there are a lot more of you out there Dave ........thank you ..You my friend are every women's soul mate ...... WildFlower

Man, I just took a major trip back to the summer of 1974. This is a beautiful video. Thanks for posting!

[Jacqueline4u2]

I love this video. Great song, great pics. A BIG thumbs up!

[Jacqueline4u2]

An all time great song! Thanks, I enjoyed it so much.

[joezjoezjoez1]

outstanding song and video:)

[utopiansoul61]

The better angels of our nature... not cornball. It's actually a really beautiful song and many closet romantics can take heart. There is some good in this world.

Try Stevie Wonder... that's unbelievable, but this song has that quality too.

[GrumpyMama54]

As an incest survivor, and a domestic abuse survivor, I strongly relate to this song, have all the time since I first heard it, it hits home for me, "be careful of how you touch her, for she'll awaken, and sleep's the only freedom that she knows" is the absolute truth for me. I love this.

[hero2d0s]

I love these type of songs.

[mlynchist]

For my wife Jessica and my two girls Angelina and Marti

[celinevsq]

I will always love to hear this fav. of all times. mas lalo gumanda sa images and editing. thumbs up!!!

[aprildaisy09]

wow! ang ganda ng song,images at lyrics. great post my friend...thumbs up!

[judewishedhimselfout]

Amazing song, now that I have read how the song got written it means even more. Beautiful song, beautiful words. That a man had such insight and compassion for the woman he loved makes me cry. Love the visuals you put to this song as well. Thanks for the upload.

[hardcorehouse]

This, Nights in White Satin and Air that I Breathe have some similar, melancholy and haunting qualities.

[cassystrayter]

This song hurts me and hits home 1o1 ways...but I still find it beautiful. THS and "Look for me in rainbows will be played at my funeral. Thanks for posting it.

[emmaaum22]

What an incredible beginning for Foster, who has written so much great music. This has a similar feel to his "AFter the Love Is Gone" and "Love, Look What You've Done to Me".  he learned well.

[camilledegroot]

This is so true .........awesome !!

[wildflower651]

tito noli... remember ds song... my masterpiece... hahaha... cant 4get ds song wen Renato "thox" Aviso sang it in front of me... nlaglag 2loy ang binubukayo qng "OO"...

[RoryNights]

An amazing song and video to accompany it. Thank-you for creating this and posting it.. and a dear person for sharing :) Its lovely in every way...

[sharonrotha]

One of the most beautiful songs ever written...Thanks a million for sharing ..its great to be able to play this here whenever the urge presents itself.

That cop who wrote this song really knew how to look into a womans soul. He completely captured what life feels like to some of us and how we long for someone to see how delicate we are...sometimes sleep is indeed, the only freedom one knows....

[SteveinMASS]

ONE among doesn't know good music from his/her ASS

[whitewing62]

How could there be 1 dislike ? This is A beautiful love song.

[my99girl]

I just lost my Grandma who was 94. She lived the beautiful life and this song makes me think of her as I imagine all that she had seen in her long life. Thanks for a terrific video of a beautiful song!

[Wildflowertg]

I love this video you've made with a song that goes so far back in my heart and childhood. I can still remember at 9 years old laying in my bed hearing it come on the radio. I would always hold the radio close to my pillow and let all my tears out for everything that hurt. I've always understood the meaning of this song deep in my heart. Thank you for the video, I've watched it a on your page for years. it's so beautifully fitting :)

[guarus123]

I was a young boy. 18 years old. I had just received my license to drive. I remember I went through the entire city driving, alone and lonely, hearing this beautiful song. I am very grateful to remember it again.

[sactiger]

Truly timeless! This song is approaching its 40th(!) birthday, and it still sounds just as beautiful now as it did back then...

[Minotauros]

Fifty three year old, 215 lb guy here who tears up hearing this song. Anyone not touched by the song has no soul.

[dirtydiana423]

@Minotauros the first time I heard this song I was 12 years old and I fell in love with it

I still love it...so nostalgic ad beautiful

[takemeback2]

@Minotauros You're correct man, and I do hear ya.

[utopiansoul61]

I just turned 50, and I had completely forgotten about this utterly gorgeous song and someone I will always love so deeply for the rest of my life...I hope she is still a free a gentle flower growing wild. She was everything to me - a friend and a lover.

I do miss her each and every day...

[loondoo]

Thanks for posting this wonderfully clear HD version! One of my all time favorite songs...

[pamimilicious]

♫And if allowed just one possession, I will pick her from the garden to be mine.♫ One of the sweetest lyrics ever. I hope someone would sing this to me while we're dancing under the rain.

[CaritaDae]

This is so so beautiful!!! It was made well before I was born but the song is timeless! I wish music was still like this!!!

[faihtworks]

That David Foster has written some really great love songs over the years, one of my all time favorites.

[wH1n3up]

very nice video!. great job.

[takemeback2]

Always great to hear.

[AnthonyT50]

I woke up with this song on my mind this morning and had to find it here.  Thanks so much for the high quality recording. This song hit the airways in my college days. It brings back great memories!

[blupaul1]

Soul stirring vocals & lyrics

[1235MrRick]

@blupaul1 "Soul stirring", well said.

[icangelz]

This is my absolute favorite out of all the songs out there..since I was 17/ .I felt it was written just for me...it just hit a nerve somewhere inside my soul...I will never tire of this song no matter how many times I play it...I always wanted someone to sing it to me..:o) I will have it played at my funeral...(not trying to be morbid, this is how much it means to me) Thank you for posting.. Certain songs stir the soul right to the core..♥

[unprose]

@icangelz --I do understand. It is a wonderful feeling to recognize that SOMEONE KNOWS! and he/she loves us just the same.

[50lovey]

@icangelz Hi You! Perhaps this is your year my friend. I have always loved this song too. Maybe not written for me because I didn't feel worthy of it. Again, not be be morbid but have always wanted someone to feel this way about me. Yes soul stirring.............

[icangelz]

@50lovey It sure would be nice if this was my year!! We are all worthy of love my friend...took me awhile to believe it...but it can happen...at any time..♥..

[Applehiro]

One of the earliest songs by David Foster. Great composer great song.

[Doobie1975]

One of the most beautiful songs of all time, wish today's music would have the passion and the emotion like the older songs did

[unprose]

I was told about this song - told it was "my" song -- and I have to agree. There are so many of us who know a Wildflower - or who are Wildflowers - people who were not wanted, not nurtured. and who raised ourselves, often with a dumping of abuse and neglect. This song is a reminder to be gentle with one another. Wildflowers are sturdy; we survive, some of us even learn to thrive in an environment that welcomes us for the genuine beauty we hold, often inside.

Skylarks are birds.

[celticsdude]

@unprose I know that, but I was using some jokes to break ice!!!!!

[celticsdude]

LOL this is the perfect song to play if you own a Buick Skylark!!!!!!

[celticsdude]

I love this song!!!! But LMAO, the group is named after a car by BUICK!!!!!!

[rudeger66]

It has just been announced that this song wil be inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame. I wonder if Dave Richardson is still around to be at the ceremony. I live in Victoria, and I have never heard his name.

[ubetripen]
