I am a veteran of some of bad stuff. And, when I hear this it really does hit me. My first wife and I were young back in '82 and...well...things happened. We were both in love but time and distance killed our relationship. I still love this song and remember... .
"I never loved her. I never need her. She was willing and that's all there is to say. Don't forsake me. Please don't leave me now." ~ I LOVE THIS SONG!!!! Thanks for posting :)
this is so great, Thanks for putting this on youtube. My son and his friends are just trying to play this now. The purity of this song is so rock n roll. Thankyou.
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
this song reminds me of my ex!! i heard this song as a kid on radio but hearing it for the first time once again it makes me think of someone i shouldn't have never let go....
OMIGOD. I can't believe this is 38 Special--being from that generation. Never knew, could never have guessed. Who was the singer? It couldn't have been Van Zant. It's so different from their other hits. Great song and performance, but mind-blowing to know it's 38 Special.
I was born at the end of the 80's in 1989 when this song was made but manI still love the 80's and this great song even though I was raised mostly in the 90's and 2000's. 80's rock.
This is one of those songs I’ve liked, but never knew who sang it or when it was first on airwaves. I do remember hearing it during my senior year of high school, but assumed it was an older song getting frequent airplay, the way classics do. Imagine my surprise to learn on 6/07/10 in the 5PM (EDT) hour that “38 Special” is the group and it was a NEW RELEASE when I first heard it! Wikipedia says it was released as a single on FEB. 11, 1989—a 25th birthday for Alaska ½ term governor, Sarah PALIN
Wikipedia says “38 Special” was formed by Don Barnes (vocalist & guitarist; b. 12/03/52) & DONald “DONnie” VAN zANT, whose JUNE 11, 1952 birthday coincided with the 89th anniversary of the birth of Winston-Salem State Univ. founder, Dr. Simon Green Atkins (b. JUN 11, 1863). Surely, “38 Special” has played NEW ORLEANS. Former NEW ORLEANS mayor and COX CABLE TV executive, CLARENCE RAY (beam attack) NAGin was also born on JUNE 11th in 1956. “38 Special” member Danny CHAUNCEY hints at the future
“38 Special” guitarist Danny CHAUNCEY was born JUNE 19, 1956 or exactly 37 years before some grannys born on JUNE 19, 1919. Unrelated: 246-64-1175 expiring as “breached” levees began to allow floodwaters from Lake PONTcharTRAIN to sink NEW ORLEANS under the watch of mayor RAY NAGIN. 64-1175 is like U.S. Hwy. 64 “menace of the state” + .75 cent french fires. Also born 6/22/19: ALFONZO WHITAKER, but unrelated to STONE CULT ALFONSO. Also born JUNE 22: comic FREDDIE Prinze in 1954 (d. Jan. 29, 1977)

"Hold on Loosely" is kinda a motto for me. I've held on too tight and it does NOT work, so it's like 'wisdom' in a song so to speak... And I've always had a preference for upbeat songs, but this is their most beautiful piece of music for sure. ;-)
Sounds like a new song always!
