  • We saw these guys this past summer (2011) in Vancouver at the Pacific National Exhibition for free and they played their guitars off. An excellent show, superb musicianship (both studied music at my alma mater, Temple University in Philly), and they played for 2.5 hours ... all their hits and near hits. God bless 'em :-)

  • These guys were great (prior to the bubblegum shit.) Just revisiting this wonderful album...please give it a listen folks, you will love it.

  • No doubt, their best. Every song on this album, awesome. The later stuff got kind of lame.

  • Fantastic, just fantastic. I never get tired of this song. H&O made some really great music back in the 70s. I just recently found out. Before I just knew them from hits like Maneater and Private Eyes. This song, and the whole Abandoned... album is awesome.

  • I heard this song on the radio the other day. Haven't heard it in 30 years! Great album and great song! Thanks for the post. This song made me think of the good ole days. I miss those happier times....

  • Hi! Love this album...this song showcases Daryl Hall and John Oates' signature harmony and John Oates' wonderful voice...and the awesome thing is...IMHO they STILL have it!!!! Thanks for putting this here! Type to you later! God Bless! Jan Hawkins (Jan in VA)

  • I hear this poignant song playing in Wawa stores; an East Coast convenience-chain, and I linger whenever it's playing until it fades-out. Great song.

  • Goodness, I took this wonderful music for granted back in the day.....like it was just there for the taking....no appreciation of the genius behind it! Wonderful song....

  • this album is so overlooked, and such a masterpiece.

    not at all like their later pop hits, which i find quite juvenile.

  • Lost wages turnaround.......flying gamblin' fools to the holy land Lost Wages!

  • Everything about this song is mesmerizing. The vocals, harmonies, rich quality sound, and Oates' smooth deep pitch. 

  • this album holds up. Maybe the most sustained effort of their careers.

  • don't forget ... they met each other in Philadelphia at Temple University ...

  • god bless daryl hall and john oates.

  • great memories for me!

  • why do they never have this song on their greatest hits collections?

  • @iamawhore1 I totally agree with you. But, then, why did "I'm On Fire" by Springsteen only last for two minutes?

  • great memories

  • Hey cool song and video!!!!!!! :)

    If its no trouble would you mind allowing this video to accept iphone, so i can subscribe to your channel and watch more of your videos?

    if you cant thats okay :)

  • vocals are great but the soft-rock attitude is lame.

    check out "war babies" which is the real deal if music is what you`re after ;-)

  • @shotdonkey War Babies is my favorite album of theirs!!!!

  • this song is so awesome....many memories of Ottawa in the early Seventies!

    Love yah all

  • Love this track right here.

  • wow i forgot about this cool song. i like it

  • lovely song. I almost like them better in this phase of their career than later with all their top 10 hits.

  • @zzyyxxo I completely agree with you. Their earlier stuff was great! Like this song...how creative and "authentic" to them and their own style. Their later stuff -- like the hits -- was sort of a sell out, ya' might say. So "not them." I just think these older songs let them express their talents so much better.

  • This song was off the album, Abandoned Luncheonette. The album was a piece of musical genius.

  • sara smile before u go

  • all mine

  • Incredible.... brought me many memories of my Flight attendent Lover...... Amy

  • Would have liked to have met Sarah on one of these turnaround flights. Clearly had a big influence on John or Darryl's life. One of Hall and Oates' best tuens ever.

  • @caesar10022

    Sarah was Daryl's GF for about 20 years and she and her sister (who died) co-wrote several songs with H&O.

  • Comment removed

  • one of the best songs!

  • an amazing song

  • One of the most awesome songs created by Hall & Oates...! I Absolutely Love it! Thanks for the oppurtunity to hear it again...............!
