David Cassidy - You just can't go home again

[MegaCassidyfan]

I love this song from the Dreams album - and yes it's true you can't go back home and if you do things really do change. I don't know why but I always start crying whenever I hear this song - I guess I start thinking of when my mother and father separated (this song always reminds me of that occassion)

Thanks for sharing this song Sumer.

Can't go home,can't go back in time but listening to this I do,I know exactly how you feel with the obsession...kids , a life, a good man and still I hear this voice,and I'm back listening to my vinyls in a darkened dining room by an open hearth fire and wondering why no-one undertands me when David Cassidy seemed to! Some things never change...I still feel that way I guess!Ty David for the words and the hope one day a man with your emotions would take your place :(

[1HappyJill]

When I woke this morning, it was THIS song in my head. The writer of it was so insightful. What poignant lyrics. And how beautifully David sang them, so evocatively. No wonder I hear him singing in my dreams...thanks for all the work you did on this and for sharing.  You got some great photos! x

david cassidy was a big hit during his early years, he came to my town of brisbane in australia and it was a big deal. he sang some fantastic songs away from the partridge family image and these are the tunes i am most fond of. i was very disappointed when he visited brisbane a couple of years ago and turned his back on his original fans, don't forget david, these are the same people that made you who you are.

absolutely gorgeous SumerKiss38 thank you

[richardstuff1]

My word,this record reaches my soul like no other.The past is so far back down that road.Why did life lead me away from my childhood & when i wasnt ready.If i could just go home again please.Home where my father would call out my name,Home where it never rained.Home where i ran free,my brother & me.where life was so carefree.

[richardstuff1]

Just a kid,my mother got up and left me,my brother & an elder sister.Still cant rid the pain in my soul i felt that day after all these years.i go back home to where it all happened now and again and this tune runs through my very heart and soul everytime.I love life,i love my God and even though the pain still hurts i havent stopped loving my mother.Thanks for the song David.:0)

Hi Tiredoldbag

[tiredoldbag]

[cawells]

Hi tiredoldbag

Am so excited I've just managed to get this on itunes and suddenly remembered you. Hope you're ok. x

[tiredoldbag]

@cawells sorry to say - no hope !! lol but at least we arent alone xxx

[tiredoldbag]

@cawells - you still here honey ? hope the years are being kind to you! Whatever happens I still come back to David and this song ,,,,,, x

[cawells]

Hi tiredoldbag

Are you still there. On the eve of my 51st birthday I find myself here again, Still a little bit in love with David Cassidy, do you think we eill ever outgrow this ?

[tiredoldbag]

Me again = tried to go home for my aunts funeral and this song says it ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can never go home and promised myself never will visit again - it was heartbreaking!! David's beautiful voice makes this so so so .......................... xxx

[cawells]

Hi tiredoldbag

That's so sad, I know how you feel. Have never been able to go back, feel like it's too late now. It's strange because I'm so happy where I am now but a part of me will always be in the 70's listening to David Cassidy and Donny Osmond. Perhaps we both need therapy !!

XX

[tiredoldbag]

no... a bottle of wine and a good night out = together would b nice , one day who knows??? xxx but yes you are so right so much of me will always be in 1971! x

ALWAYS - dont try to go back it is too late - b happy xxx

[Hypermommy]

Oh i am soooooo glad you posted this! Boy, do I remember this song! How about that one about "this old woman telling lies about me"... do you have that one?

[tiredoldbag]

hiya Cawells - being gobby and inebriated shouted out to ask David to sing this in Manchester - God bless him he tried but gave up because he'd forgotten the words!!!!!!! WE could have told him lol!!!!!!!! x

[cawells]

[tiredoldbag]

[SQDLVR]

Thanks...I went to visit the old neighborhood where I grew up as a David fan and I was thinking of this song while I drove around..."Has Time Really Change So Much, Or Is It Just Me?"....I guess it's a little of both...

[cawells]

[tiredoldbag]

this song breaks my heart - when i was 14 i thought ah thats sad! now im 48 my parents both dead, and the place i grew up changed from leafy small suberb to outercity, friends a precious few remain! to be 14 again!!!!

[gmcorrea]

"Can't Go Home Again" was written by KIM CARNES, DAVE ELLINGSON and DAVID CASSIDY. Kim Carnes provides the background vocals. This song is from "Dreams Are Nuthin' More Than Dreams" album (1974).

[gmcorrea]

I mean "Dreams Are Nuthin' More Than Wishes". Yeah... I got the album and it's "nuthin'" and not "nothing".

[0001432]

A voz de DAVID é SENSUAL e DOCE!!! Juntando mais a beleza física!!! Não existirá outro para substituí-lo, jamais!!! Amo você!!

[0001432]

sumerKis38!!!  Muito obrigado por dividir conosco os videos de DAVID!!! Ele transcênde tempo e espaço!! Eu o adoro!!!

[Riley0205]

ok-this man is/was beautiful! still melts meeee-you did a great job w/pix and really captured the real David. Nicely Done

[dawn05]

The Dreams album is and always has been my favourite, shows the quality of David's voice, Romance being 2nd fave, thanks Sumerkis38! wonderful pics

[ebrandenburgh]

Which cd did this song come from? I have never heard of it. And I would like to get this cd if I can.

[SumerKis38]

David Cassidy - Dreams are nuthin' more than wishes

[ebrandenburgh]

Thanks!

[cherish1950]

Beautiful song. I only bought the cd recently and love every song. Thanks SumerKis38. You're doing a great job.

[cheekysmiley]

Good heavens, the amount of pictures there exists of that man out there! Looks like some of us missed out on quite a phenomena...

Anyway, the last three songs you´ve posted I´ve never heard, so it´s been great fun.

Thanks a bunch! :o)

[SumerKis38]

There are tons of pics, thats for sure, ya just got to dig for them =) Thanks!

[cheekysmiley]

Or I could just sit back and enjoy your videos. *lol*

I´m just a bit baffled at the insanity at the time I guess.

Poor guy...

[cas3003]

Maybe the best lyrics (after "Hold on Me" from the same LP). Totally my song! I do it often, but I "just can't go home again".

[tiredoldbag]

just read yr comment and yes thats me too, youre not alone! this song really captures it all doesnt it???????

[cawells]

I really should be over my over my David Cassidy obsession by now. Have a great life with lovely husband and great kids but a little bit of me wishes it was 1972 when things were so simple.I'm guessing you understand that !!!

[cdtseng]

my most favorite dc song. you put together unbelievable collection of images. brilliant work. thank you.
