Restless Heart - Don't Ask The Reasons Why

[bigdctherock]

@marbananta Restless Heart are kinda in the middle. Technically, they are Country, but had a lot of Rock/AC/AOR/Pop leanings as well. Their albums had plenty of West Coast styled numbers, but always had a Country vibe, and occasionally straight Country songs. They were unique.

206 likes and no dislikes. that`s the 80`s :-))

[marbananta]

Is there any original video of this song?

[marbananta]

I love this song since I heard it years ago. I'm still curious, is Restless Heart a rock band or a country band? This song seems a rock ballad to me, so I'm assuming that they are a rock band. Anyone ...?

[cingny1]

The song was "Spmething I Gotta Do" in the movie with different lyrics, and I really don' know the reasons why.

[purnama8899]

...membangkitkan kenangan lama...dont ask lah..

[ORBuddha]

I just got their best of cd last sunday

[mrhuge815]

Nice one mate!

[SteenbergenP]

saw the movie last night.. one of my favourits

[The1500Suburban]

Great movie and song!

[Crazcompart]

From what I read, Foster and RH composed the tune with the original lyrics (these), and they had to be slightly altered to fit the movie storyline...In my opinion, they should've kept these...They do just fine...

[hansumjoe]

there's another song that RH did for this soundtrack...anyone know what it is?

[jetset900]

@hansumjoe

Same song, different lyrics ... that's what you probably meant?!

[surf403]

@hansumjoe It is the same song. THey just changed the words for the movie.

[deputyseal409]

perfect

[CuervoBlack06]

If anyone wants the soundtrack, the download link is in the description section.

[athiadore]

@CuervoBlack06 Thanks a lot!

[lmontecc2011]

One of the song of my life... makes me cry... great.. Thanks for posting

[askadetra]

i love this song, david foster is a genius, he composed the melody for this song and the melodies for some other tracks from this album: three themes, i burn for you, gazebo.

[bigdctherock]

As much as I love TIM DuBois production on their albums, I would have loved to hear a Restless Heart album produced by David Foster. Would've been amazing!

[askadetra]

david foster is a genius

[Manilownv]

I'd never heard this song until today. Thanks for putting it out there for us to hear it. We love you guys.

[arcangelo2112]

La genialidad de David Foster en plena manifestación...

[arcangelo2112]

La mejor época de mi vida... le doy gracias a Dios por permitirme vivir mi adolesencia en los 80'S apesar de que tengo el soundtrack y la pelicula no pude evitar escucharla una vez más. otras de mi favoritas de esa época: night shift de quarter flash,night move de Marilyn Martin, sunset grill de Don Henley,taken in de Mike & the mechanics, cry de Godley and Creme.......... la lista es interminable.

[EARTHSHAKER81]

This song is beautiful!

[auzsurfer]

I think the music can be re-created, well it is being recreated just more refined because of electronic computer programs, we have learnt from the 80s and can expand from that. I am Gen Y born in the late 80s and i can say it did look like an amazing era.

[solo3some]

i remember walking home in the rain,with this song playing on my WALKMAN,back in highschool..80's music had feeling,thats why you always remembered the songs,it just never leaves you..

[chrisjpopp]

Wish this was still in print. My cassette wore out years ago

[Latino69c]

@chrisjpopp chek on ebay you'll surprised what you find there

[mcmjr405]

I miss the 80s, the optimism, in movies, music, even in politics...when RR was in office, unashamedly proud of being an American, and proud of America, knew what this country could be. Certainly not what we have now...

[Liquidcadmus]

I have always loved this song, its very touching.

[vwacle]

like the lyrics

[DConS81]

I love the music and the movie....

[minhasc]

2:05 - 2:27 = possibly the most nostalgic piece of music I have ever heard. Takes me back to the age of Flight of the Navigator, The Goonies, Weird Science, Lost Boys, Back to the Future, Little Monsters, Teen Wolf, Top Gun..... :' (

[TheDistilledMan]

@minhasc me too mate, me too

[RJGB123]

Classic........... Nuff said!!!

[sgw0624]

Beautiful harmonies...love it.

[etsuko624]

god! i love this!(^^)/

[SanchEnhance]

I love this movie and this song! this would be a great Graduation song ! or a song to inspire!

[SuzieEyes]

The memories of carefree days come flooding back....haunting my soul!

[Glitterbladejester]

God this song is so full of real emotion...so beautiful and haunting...

[seajaybird88]

Great Song for those alone on your own in any decade. Love the Message

[TheBlueConch]

All I can say is I thank you Micheal J. Fox, You were love. sincerely.

[manojnanda001]

thanks a lot for posting this song...really takes me back to 80's...man i loved the era...songs made in the 80's ..can never be made again..the lyrics..the sound..man thankz once again..

[jacfred]

@manojnanda001 Yes! The '80s were fantastic. I met my future wife (and yes, we're still married) back then. There were many romantic love songs from back then. This is just one of them.

[Alysoup10]

I still love to hear Restless Heart, even after all these yrs. Wish they had never stopped singing. They were soooo good!

[enforcer2011]

@Alysoup10 They just played at the Head of The Lakes Fair in Superior, WI. I could not see them, but just thought you should know. I had to look them up they were a bit before my time and before I listened to the style.

[TheSatori163]

@Alysoup10  agree

[metalwizard65]

@Alysoup10 yes they were ill always love their music

[cingny]

It's the same song as "Something I Gotta Do." Only the title and lyrics of the song are different. And I really don't know why! David Foster didn't sing on the movie track. It was produced and co-written by Foster.

[kobifuzz]

Sounds like a few people really like the movie version of the song . Maybe its time to contact David Foster directly.

[nandino265]

the movie track was sung by david foster with restless heart..he composed this song

[greatkb]

stupendo

[welchchcp]

All of Michael J. Fox's movies rule my favorites are Back To The Future 1 and Teenwolf and The Secret Of My Success

[JLC31383]

All of his good stuff was made in the 1980's. I don't really care for anything he made in the 1990's.

[lawdog2008]

If you folks are still looking for this song I can make an MP3 for you, just send me a message.

[hoth1138]

great song

[CLO619]

I have this song in my cd stacks like on cd rom memory. but sadly I can't get to them at the moment.

[JorgeReynal]

Does anyone have the mp3 version of this song???? I cannot find it anywhere

[JorgeReynal]

Does anyone has the mp3 of this song? I am struggling to find it. iTunes does not have it, Amazon does not have it...or maybe point me in the right direction as to where to find it

[mcmjr405]

there's a post offering to make an mp3 of it if you haven't seen it.

[Titanic23o]

he sure is beautiful, gorgeous, sexy hot you name it (: love secret of my sucess and all his other films too! love you michael j fox x

[annamariaduval]

i love michael j fox he is still so beautiful

[justjanhere]

That was nice

[eduardipolio]

Lo uninico, es que no es la letra original de la pelicula.........que lata!!!!

[InuyashaPrincess14]

I saw this movie on encore on demand last night and I loved it. I also love the music.

[featshawn]

Hey jetset, i don't know if it'll help, but the movie track for this movie was done by David Foster. I have found lots of music by looking through his name. He also did the music for "Stealing Home" w/ Mark Harmon and Jodie Foster. Fantastic music too!

[fieryphoenixe]

Thanks so much for posting this!

[jetset900]

Still no success in finding THE original movie version ... it's killing me. That should be possible...

[SareyGamp]

Love this song, reminds of Michael when he was young and full of energy.

[MrsMJFox]

I totally agree! Everytime I hear this song, pictures of MJF when he was young flash through my head, LOL!

[luchino5891]

the title of original song is "something i gotta do"..SAME music but the lyrics is by david foster i think! it seems like the world is upside down i dont know what i m going through...."it's better in the movie but i like also this version...

bye guy

[jetset900]

THX!! luchino and MrsMJFox ... I really never realized, that this song might have been from Restless Heart. Although it's one of my favorite movies and Restless Heart one of my favorite bands... Hope I can find the movie version. Don't know which version came first or if Foster wrote both etc. but for me the MJF version was the first and it's impossible find online ;-((

[luchino5891]

hi jetset...i m glad to help u!

i hope u can fine the movie version,but it think is impossible!!!i ve tried sometimes on the web and i always have found this version...

anyway have a good luck..if u find that, tell me your msn account Ok

[jetset900]

Right, I have to admit that this probably shows the limit of my internet resources. We can't burgle Fosters Malibu estate. I was just wondering why nobody ever tried to rip it off the DVD to have at least some pieces in acceptable quality... mmmh, ...maybe I'll cut something when I get the DVD

[MrsMJFox]

Hey, great to be of help, jetset900!

I've been having a real hard time trying to find the movie version too, but from what I heard, it's not in production anymore. I have no idea why they changed the lyrics though.

In my opinion, I think that the movie version came out first, then they changed it for the soundtrack, but I'm really not too sure! =P

[jetset900]

Hi MrsMJFox!-) ...the only possibility could have been the movie itself. I was constantly looking for the real score and it's definitely impossible to find. But there also ain't no possibility to rip it off the movie, as there's only the short part that is on youtube already ;-(( Maybe some later DVD release or a Foster collectors box will mend this gap.

[MrsMJFox]

for the chorus of this song, the lyrics in tsoms was 'it seems like the world is upside down, don't know what i'm going through'....but this version is 'if right now you're feeling lost and lonely, crazy to even try"

[sjr1305]

great song, but has anyone noticed the words are different in the film

[vicki2712]

Yeah I have always thought that. I've never been able to find the version that was in the film, i liked that one more i think. Great film though.

[luchino5891]

i heard this song for the first time when i watched this movie on tv...it's so cute...remind me at the scenes of that movie...mjf thinking about his job and his life,...perfect...ty for the post

[alexmarshallll]

Wow... finally, the earth can continue to turn now that this song is available to listen to...

[normanders]

bello, delicado, suave y tierno... quien pudiera expresar en sonido tanto sentimiento!.

[neimadmi]

la pura verdad!

[tk1ireland]

Have been searching for this song for a while, thank you. I have always remembered it since i had the vinyl soundtrack, memories!
