The Shangri-Las - I Can Never Go Home Anymore

[nightmarebeforeXmas8]

real voices....real music....wow what went wrong

[BigBrother08007]

TO ALL TEENAGE GIRLS: IF THINGS GET TOUGH,AND YOU EVER THOUGHT IT'S BETTER OUT THERE...''IT ISN'T''..!!!

[lyonslaforet]

It's impossible not to listen to this gem without feeling an intense emotion!

[catherinef87]

I'm 2 years old and love this song.

[TheSuperDawn]

Rips my heart out everytime I hear it

[90038jhon]

Mind blowing song...I am 42 and a huge music fan. Always dismissed the La's as lightweight fluff. Totally incorrect. These are themes that artists STILL do not touch on in 2012. A first person account of a teenage runaway. Unsaid why she's running away, but take a guess, the pain is plain...an abused young chick, and a powerful song. Glad I was wrong about the band.

[Lolita82ify]

I dedicate this song to all the people missing esp. the ones on the doe network site. I know not everyone ran away thats on that site. I just pray that everyone is safe and returns home soon. for those who have passed, i hope your family finds you soon and identifies you.God bless you all!

[hkhenry01]

I love this song <3

[bailinnumberguy]

I've always thought that's a great line: "she grew so lonely in the end, angels picked her for their friend." Mary Weiss says that the crying that you hear at the end of the song was real.

[therealjoebloggs]

The oldies stations only play Leader of the Pack-- and that's called, F'd up!

[59jimkay]

Awesome & deep, this song demonstrates that this group actually has TWO very valuable lead-singers! Cool bizness man. Thanx-Big Jim

[lifeonloop]

I`m not going to tell you how old I am because nobody gives a shit....songs great, that is all

[irada20]

Amy Winehouse 'Back to black' anyone?? She loved this song. It's such a sad song.

[talliwoof]

Aaaaahh...sad!

[sixstringmusic6]

I'm 13 and this is one of my favorite songs. People have no taste in music anymore. why would you listen to all the crap music of today when you have the oldies?

[bluecatky]

My mom had a heart valve operation 6 years ago and at that time it looked like we might lose her. One day, I was on the way to the hospital to see her and this song came on the radio. I had to pull over because I was so upset. Thankfully the operation was a success and she is still alive and doing fine today. But don't ever take your mother for granted. You never know when you might lose her.

[starestrellakal]

I'm 16 and this is one of my favorites songs :) One of my favorite groups :) And I relate so much to this...though don't worry I didn't run away. RIP to the Shangri Las who are gone and live on to the ones still here. They live on always in their music if a 16 year old kid like me is listening! This stuff is sooo cool I LOVE it love them. <3

p.s. I love you mom

[CaptainJimKirk]

@starestrellakal Sweet comment - thanks, starestrellakal.

[john63van]

Signature Shangri Las classic! Beautiful background harmonies; georgeous strings; and the youthful angst of the great Mary Weiss.

[bailinnumberguy]

This is a serious, heavy song. Chilling and heartbreaking.

[exgroupiefromelmont1]

I CRY WHENEVER I HEAR THIS SONG...

[689321546]

[QUEENALIZE]

[rover940]

wonderful poignant tune-they couldnt make a song like that today if they tried.

[hippieonabsa]

my mom used to listen to this song over and over when my older sister would run away. despite my best efforts, mom "grew so lonely in the end that angels picked her for a friend."

[CaptainJimKirk]

@hippieonabsa And that's called... sad.

Sorry to hear that hippieonabsa. I was a hippieonalambretta, but always liked the old bikes.

[DorisDayFanatic]

Wow, this is a really sad song.

[1956lakota]

All of those you out there remember your parents learned a few things along the way!!!!!!!!!

[ChicanoTattooArt]

This song is great!

[leahjustme]

[klaus2guck2raus]

I wish it would be that easy...

[countrysinger1952]

@leahjustme You are so right! My mother died in 1997 and I really miss her!

I just wish all runaways could hear this song!

[54nomore]

One of the greatest mini-operas ever penned. This song is being played out in almost every household in the world. Rebellious teens driving their parents to drink, to divorce and finally death. I just hope people listen to this song, and learn from it. Peace!...

[689321546]

YOU ARE SO RIGHT I HAVE THREE DAUGTHERS

[54nomore]

Thank you for your kind remarks. What's impressive about this song is it's haunting and truthful tale of teenage rebellion. Though the end is truly sad, it's the finality of this tale that hits hard...

[vicodin75]

I love this song.
