We were there when Firefall was inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame...Denver, best time I had getting drunk on music and drink downtown in years!! LOVE these guys!
There is nothing like this music; I am in my 60's so I grew up with it. I would LOVE to go back to those days again. Just remember, you can't say crap without rap!!!
@pinkydogbear Where do you live ? I've lived in Calif. most of my life, but I'm living in Texas now. I doubt that I'll ever go back to Calif. unless I can find someone with a time machine! I just couldn't afford to live there anymore. I love classic rock & every couple of weeks or so, I go on You Tube & listen to them again. I'm glad to hear there are so many people that feel like I do about it. I MISS THOSE DAYS!!!!!!!
JUST MISSED!!! "Strange Way" just missed making the Billboard's Top 10 chart; it peaked at No. 11 and spent a total of 19 weeks in the Top 100 in 1978. A year earlier, in 1977, Firefall would have another record that would peak at No. 11, "Just Remember I Love You" spent a total of 20 weeks in the Top 100!!!
Saw Firefall last Saturday in Henderson, NV! What an awesome show; They are still playing and sounding like they're at the top of their game! GO CHECK EM OUT!
I love this song. I am now 61 years old and stuck in the old music of the 1970's. What great memories. The Beatles on Ed Sullivan! This current song makes me cry. The lyrics and my grief, I suppose. It was a great era and I am glad I was born in 1950, as I had it all! And, still young at music.
Rap sucks donkey balls, and so does MTV for shoving the shit down the public's throat. But rap is not the worst of MTVs sins. Putting The Jersey Whore's, with that dumbass fucking, The Constipation and Nooki, on television, was a mortal sin in which all MTV execs who okayed it should burn in hell. Dumb fucks.
Just reinforces the absolute KRAP that is coming over the radio now. No talent whatsoever...completely relying on electronics to be on pitch. It was so refreshing to watch the "Sing Off" with groups who could ACTUALLY SING ON PITCH AND IN TIME!
Sitting behind the PC you get bored so what do you do go to your favorites list and hit the play button and think about your past how cool is that brings back good and bad memories :)
I would give anything to be alive when time travel is discovered so I can go back to my high school days, 1976-1979, and enjoy this music as it came on the radio for the very first time !
@spiderdragon1969 I agree completely but just keep in mind that in another 20 years or so, we'll be searching YouTube for the music we are hearing now....at least some of it anyway. Enjoy!
Love this song im african american and this is some great stuff i grew up on 70s music, times change, such is life all music changes this is great though.
@djtoonice100 ..yes it has but then again i guess that's what they said about our music we listen to growing up, things change..not always for the best
@djtoonice100 Not only that, it's the technology that we have these days that do most of the work these days that make the music instead of us making it by hand. That is why rap has taken over because of that part!
I disagree. Rap has nothing to do with the music industry. ;)
You know how we got the current form of rap? They tried A-rap and that didn't work, so the tried B-rap. That didn't work either, so they settled for C-rap. ;)
I agree with many of you who commented here. Something happened in the 60's that music just exploded into a couple of decades of amazingly rhythmic and creative music. I keep wondering if we can pinpoint what single action or event led to the destruction of this wonderful era of music. Nowadays, I turn on the radio for a few seconds and that's enough to discourage me from even trying to find something decent to listen. Somebody please invent the time machine already.
this is magic (after year of the cat by al stewart probably my fav song). On Napster you get a recent 9min long live version but due to "difficulties" the dvd has not beenm released - get ovewr the difficulties and release the dvd please please please please please!!!!!
beth you remember this song? you walked out when i needed you and even today i still think what if but we all make mistakes i hope you are well love this song it will never grow old
I saw Firefall in the summer of 1975 at carowinds paladium. Got to go backstage and meet the fella's. They were all so nice. the lead singer wanted nothing to do with us, but I remember getting my picture taken wuth the saxophone player and the backline players...I was 11 years old. An experience I'll never forget. Had all of their autographs too. maybe that scrap of notebook paper will turn up eventually.
many years ago my college girlfriend and i were close to the end of our relationship and we were together for one of the last times ,when this song came on i remember she said this was such a sad song. this song more or less explains what happened to us. soon after that day it was over. i think of her often when i hear this song.
I was born in 66 and i was somehow( fortunately)completely aware and hip to the great music of the time at a very young age (7 or 8) It has always stayed with me, and it is always amazing to me to read so many comments from all the people that feel the same way I do.
@Jeffkozmusic I was born in 67 & ur rite how some music just "stays w/u." I have 2 best friends that are in their 70's & tell me I'm an "old soul." I take that as a compliment!
@48kams It is a compliment i think. Is'nt weird that when your 45 you still in most ways feel young but when you try to do things you used to do your body quickly reminds you that you are NOT so young anymore! It's that way with me anyway.
I dedicate this song to Diane Oberle, dear friend of mine, California. the night we heard this song together,was the last time we saw one another this was long time that passed but the memory with me for ever will last
Time marches on...but these sounds stop time for me. Excellent music that will never be produced again. What a time the late 70's were!! Such an amazing time.
every time i here this song im reminded of you looking at me telling me we need to part i was so sad from the loss but i hope you are well beth kennedy
reminds me of a long lost love beth she was my world but i let her slip thru my fingers hope she thinks of me sometimes i sure think of her at times great song great great band
Not everyone knows how to love because they do not love themselves. This song has profound lyrics and the music is awesome. I have always loved this song despite the darkness inside it. The composition of this song is perfect.
One of my first albums bought and Im 62yrs old, was 19 then, wow, life has been a roller coaster, keep the memories. at least the words we can understand, life
I love this song so much. I was listening to AFN (Armed Forces Network) in Kandahar Afghanistan and this great song came on. The memories of my youth came back. I had to come here and download it. Thank you.
The first time I ever listened to this tune; I felt something quite special. I was raised in somewhat of a "successful" musical family; despite of who I am today; I somehow feel a constant connection to these words.
The first time I heard this was through the headphones on an Air Canada Boeing 747 on the way to Switzerland for the Silver Broom in 1979. Good to hear it again.
@tamerswan - I think the lyrics is what makes this song. I think the 70's were a very different time for many things, especially views on love and friendship. Half of these guys were married or committed, but cheated around constantly. But some of their wives and girlfriends did the same thing as many of them only got hooked with them b/c of their musical status and whatnot. I would agree the lyrics r harsh to an extent, but I think most of can relate to relationships like that at some point.
This is one of those songs that makes me feel so mesmerized. I get the same feelings from Wildfire, A Horse with no Name, Year of the Cat, and Baker Street.
These guys were very comparable to the Eagles yet it's the Eagles that get lots of love on classic rock radio & (classic rock radio) gave Firefall the cold shoulder. I just don't get it?
they were so good huh? I miss a lot of the old music.......but we change with the times.... remininissing (i think thats how u spell it) ha ha is good.. later T
Firefall hit #11 in Billboard, 12-9-78. Sure wish Rick Roberts'd come back and reunite with the band, right, gang? God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!
I will say this much todays music (mainly 1990-now) seems soo angry all the time and misses the true feel that "our generation" had back then in the 1970's
1974 Firefall forms in Boulder...I was a junior in High school in Aurora, Co at the time..1975 and they are producing an album...By my senior year they have a top ten hit with "You Are The Woman." They were considered homegrown talent in Colorado even though many were from the west coast. A great Band I will always remember and their music takes me right back to high school.
I was hearing this in my head and started singing it. Love this song. When did it come out. I think back in the 80's. I remember hearing it then but forgot.
thats the awesome beauty of music...time travel. It's second in memory response only to smell.Smell is the# 1 memory trigger. just a random fact for ya all. btw...this a great song!!!
Damn,if THIS song is NOT a NOSTALGIC masterpiece,I don't know what is.I was about 4 or 5 when this was popular,always liked it,STILL DO.many thanx to the 1 who posted.
This song hits a home chord with me also. Even if it came out after my times. I am 62. and my first love was lost in Nam. But he used to tell me that all the time... I was so shy, and he would try to bring me out. Finally give up and say..............." You Have A Strange Way about you
Saw them as prep to Marshall Tucker Band in Missoula MT. This was before we lost Toy and Tommy. Magic is the word that keeps coming to mind. Nobody detracting from the show. Just so many people getting lost in some of the best times ever. No one wanted to go home. For me, it was back to base. Wait for orders. So gald I can pull these great memories up , close my eyes and drift away.
...geeze I miss people making good music like this, we are poisened by Gaga and Bieber... classic rock is called classic for a reason, it's CLASSIC, CLASSY, and JUST PLAIN GOOD...
@jeffuSG Me also...I'm 52 and I will share a memory about my youth. I was just about to turn 21 and working in a mall at a men's clothing store, directly across from our store was a music store and they would play this album "Elan" everyday. So when I here this song, my mind immeadiately flashes to that time period. I love the way music takes us to exact moments in time of our past. I wonder where the youth of today will return to when they hear their oldies?
@Krazede The youth of today will later remember rap/CRAP, gangbangin' violence, popin' caps, shootin' "niggas", chasing down women like dogs chasing dogs and screwin' in the alleys. That's about all I get out of what little I have been able to understand or catch in trying to avoid rap/crap.
@Krazede sadly, they will have their mass produced crap and never be privy to good music like this,.....thankfully, I am raising my son to love all types of music....
@Krazede Well I'm about eighteen now, and for me, THIS is my oldies. My dad has done an AMAZING job at influencing me into the best music of the world.
This song is such an awesome song!! Firefall sure put out some great songs in the day. This song takes me back to days of true happiness and innocence. I miss those days. My heart just aches for those days. There was a magic in the air back then that you just cant feel today and that is a real shame. This song is pure magic in itself!! Missing those days but hold the memories so tightly in my heart forever!! ☺♥
@awesomeeras131 What a great way to describe the Music and the feel from that time. I am almost 50 and could not have said it better and I miss that time in my life so much. Happy New Year ! And Be Blessed! Robby
@33891405 Thank you so much for your ever so kind words my friend!! Happy New Year to you as well my friend!! And many blessings your way too!! Carly ☺♥
@awesomeeras131 This song is totally awesome, hands down. Too bad the accompanying video is just a bunch of stills woven together. And you're totally right: takes me back to days of childhood innocence. I, as well, would love to go back, if even for a day, but that is never going to happen, so we must put on a brave face and go forward and onward. Cheers, and God bless.

I never knew this band. Back in the day whenever I heard this song I just asumed it was performed by Santana.

I will say this much todays music (mainly 1990-now) seems soo angry all the time and misses the true feel that "our generation" had back then in the 1970's

1974 Firefall forms in Boulder...I was a junior in High school in Aurora, Co at the time..1975 and they are producing an album...By my senior year they have a top ten hit with "You Are The Woman." They were considered homegrown talent in Colorado even though many were from the west coast. A great Band I will always remember and their music takes me right back to high school.

Firefall was always one of my favorite when-I've-got-shit-on-my-mind bands. I could feel what they were singing, and apply it to the situation.

Does anyone know if Fleetwood Mac's Christine McVie is featured as the backing vocals in this song? It sure does sound like her but I'm not sure.

This song hits a home chord with me also. Even if it came out after my times. I am 62. and my first love was lost in Nam. But he used to tell me that all the time... I was so shy, and he would try to bring me out. Finally give up and say..............." You Have A Strange Way about you

Saw them as prep to Marshall Tucker Band in Missoula MT. This was before we lost Toy and Tommy. Magic is the word that keeps coming to mind. Nobody detracting from the show. Just so many people getting lost in some of the best times ever. No one wanted to go home. For me, it was back to base. Wait for orders. So gald I can pull these great memories up , close my eyes and drift away.

@jeffuSG Me also...I'm 52 and I will share a memory about my youth. I was just about to turn 21 and working in a mall at a men's clothing store, directly across from our store was a music store and they would play this album "Elan" everyday. So when I here this song, my mind immeadiately flashes to that time period. I love the way music takes us to exact moments in time of our past. I wonder where the youth of today will return to when they hear their oldies?
Krazede 1 year ago 47
@Krazede The youth of today will later remember rap/CRAP, gangbangin' violence, popin' caps, shootin' "niggas", chasing down women like dogs chasing dogs and screwin' in the alleys. That's about all I get out of what little I have been able to understand or catch in trying to avoid rap/crap.

This song is such an awesome song!! Firefall sure put out some great songs in the day. This song takes me back to days of true happiness and innocence. I miss those days. My heart just aches for those days. There was a magic in the air back then that you just cant feel today and that is a real shame. This song is pure magic in itself!! Missing those days but hold the memories so tightly in my heart forever!! ☺♥

@awesomeeras131 This song is totally awesome, hands down. Too bad the accompanying video is just a bunch of stills woven together. And you're totally right: takes me back to days of childhood innocence. I, as well, would love to go back, if even for a day, but that is never going to happen, so we must put on a brave face and go forward and onward. Cheers, and God bless.
