[hawk461]

[ritarunsrampant]

@hawk461

Hawk, we all eventually lose our Dads to something. I am glad you were at least blessed enough to have this beautiful song playing as a reminder. As bad as it must have been.... it could have been much worse. Take care

[BabyBlue3196]

Man, that brings back some memories, some of the best ones for me... thanks for making me smile..

[Chalibester]

Good Stuff! That's the gospel according to REO!

Tempus Fugit...

[macinfloydvolk]

Thumbs up if shopdogsam brought you here! :)

[computerpurple]

Excellent fine tune just grooving along. LOVING it.

[HeySoulBrother]

his voice is flawless!!

[mikaelasa100]

Hi infidelity is definitely one of the best rock album released in 1980. I truly believe it was the right time for it! Nonetheless i remember seeing some members of this group on Good Morning America...yeah spring of 1981.

[123avdb4]

i know they hit it big in the 80's, yet still under rated.

[Drydoc2]

@123avdb4 I think a lot of rock groups did well in the 80's. We were ready to move on from disco and the easy feeling of the 70's.

[ChuckieInMT]

Ya, 'Flyin' High, Layin' Low...'

[Brutis94]

I love this song!! Great memories.

[marcdell]

least fav song on the best album ever. Yet ill still sing it every now and then!

[keyeword]

[me31188666]

when ur flyin hi ,layin low

[TheEmily236]

[crazyme1957]

[kelogsman]

best band of their time. did not have a bad song ever and this is my favorite

[biggin2g]

i like it

[ed69netherlands]

great album!!! I just listened to some tracks of Hi Infidelity and got to have the songs on my i-pod

[keyeword]

coulda swore that was gary richrath on guitar . . .but i see dave amato?

[shawno66]

Probably the most under-rated REO song. To me, it's way better than "Keep On Loving You".

[MeanyJeanne]

I still sing this song in the shower;-) It would make a great acoustic cover song, although as far as I know no one has.

[38sydsdad]

i JUST WISH YOU WERE THERE!

[MapleMable]

Wow! I almost forgot about this REO song!! Which album was this from? I've seen them in concert at least 2 times (with Styx) and they've never done this song!

[talkin79]

Hi infidelity album-  great song!

[tadejrocks]

I DONT REMBER

[beyondtheveilofdeath]

...the right song when you watch outside the window and the snow's falling...a cup of hot tea and peace at heart!!

[rupleskinner]

hahahaha, hell yeah, this is very good as well because it didn't get over-played by radio stations

[mikol2007]

memories, memories!!

[oldcigarette1]

Richrath can really get that paul to sing....

[darke812]

Wow, forgot all about this song! One of my favorite albums and definitly one of my favorite songs. Man how time really does fly. Play it Gary, play it baby...make that guitar cry!!!!

[kidnbeast97]

@darke812 definitely one of the best voices to come out of the 70s and 80s!!

[RICH78666]

awesome, takes me back to when I was my sons age listening to my dad's 8-track Hi-Infidelity, with those big ass earphones on....never dreamed I would be in my thirties watching my kids enjoying some classic REO

[xBornToBeWildx]

Well i enjoy older music. and im 16 so lol, i would rather listen to older style rock. country than todays stuff

[dazedguy]

I love this song. I'm alot younger but someone has introduced me and yes I enjoy it.

[aa90214a]
