38 Special - Second Chance

[benfisher200744]

my high school !!!!!!

[marta0834]

A classic. Fabulous.

[AntsNYC]

Good song...timeless beat

[Immiddim]

When you "look around" you will find that this song is (still) an international sensation that appeals to the masses....

[Bansheeeyes78]

I should have appreciated these days more. I am paying for it now cause I miss them BAD! Absolutely one of the best songs of the decade!

[SIRTONY]

classic...this is what makes music a Miracle...

[mjackdiesel]

very well said

[lisa92ify]

yeah love is really standing in the pouring rain!

[doremi5002]

great

[PP22TT11]

Bela música. Lembranças de um tempo bom que infelizmente não volta...

[nyrichiek]

Max Carl ventually went on to form a band that was done before it ever started with Paul Carrack,Timothy B Schmitt and Don Felder.

[GisherJohn24]

Universal records needs to write WMG and tell them to stop being so shady. WMG is ruining Youtube.

[koncretegorilla]

wow never noticed the 'lithp' (lisp) before.

[oyet23garcia]

great!

[oakraidergrl4lif]

I remember this song . I am 31 years old. It has significance now. I have been crying over an ex of mine for 7 months now and this song brings me to tears even to this day. He didn't cheat on me technically, but I feel after everything we had been through after a year long long separation due to both of us having millitary obligations and after all the times we said we would meet up together. He ended up with someone else and is still with her til this day.

[NickCobra]

Sorry to hear that. Certain songs evoke such emotions and take you back in time. Best of luck and keep the faith.

[cholulo602]

This song is a classic in Argentina. It sounds great!

[jcs4bama]

another touching song about another breakup/ thank you to whoever posted.

[American86]

Music from 1980's and before.... Great I listen little to that modern music today and I am not really all that comfortable when you hear some loudmouth from some band called Nickleback and it lead singer is a wannabe Meat Loaf.

Todays music all I can say is that it sucks and Rock N' Roll has been spiraling out of control since end of 1980's

[pmishke]

Great tune ! I go back in time makes me feel young again...

[Mailboxbillthefirst]

I just came.

[lucifer9339]

dedicated to lg.

[fabulousvintage]

Somebody please answer: Who in this video are original members? For those who aren't original, where are they now? Thanks.

[dude23848]

donnie vanzandt and jeff carlisi are still in the band, i saw tham when they came to south carolina, but i dont remember where the other members took off to. Back in 1987, they used to play at a club where i grew up. I met donnie vanzandt, and jeff carlisi, but thats about it.

[fjislander]

keep listening to this song . The memories

[Perry4evrJourney]

I completely agree. Today's music sucks SO much. This lead singer looks different form the other video. Were there 2 lead singers in 38 special?

[daddymak9]

Don Barnes was the lead singer, Donnie Van Zant was the backing vocalist. This song was sung by Max Carl, who joined the band on this album after the departure of Don Barnes. Barnes eventually rejoined 38 Special and Max Carl left.

[jimmydcap]

Band went into the toilet when Carl joined.

I hated this singer. 38 Special lost there southern rock image. I was glad when Don came back. All I can say is Don Barnes is the vocals for 38 special!

[daddymak9]

No doubt about that. This song was something you'd find on an easy listening station.

[BigjagCK]

Perhaps...but I think Ronnie is still smiling down from up above on these guys, no matter who the singer is.

[betonits]

God damn I miss all great 80's tunes. How come todays commercial music sux big time?

[Perry4evrJourney]

sorry, I replied to the wrong person! yes I agree todays music sucks big time. how many lead singers does this band have. I just discovered them recently, although I have heard their songs for years but never knew who sange them. I guess better late than never.

[gleng79]

80s mellows are really great!!!!!!!

[17865329]

Once again, a basically middle of the

pack band from the 70's and 80's blows

away all but a very small handful of today's artists.

[furonoverlord]

Nobody get mad at me if you think I am very wrong, but this song reminds me of Every Breath You Take by The Police.

[my2boys8386]

I hear what you are hearing, its the beat of the music

[aershamus]

"this heart needs a second chance.... she never meant a thing"...please don't leave me now... why can't we forget about the past...don't say it's over, I just can't say goodbye"-- classic stuff-great song!!

[mohawk102]

i don't think 38 never got the respect that the desrved. they still are out the after all these years.

[bj616]

I have always liked this band. I saw them back in 1982 when they backed up ZZ Top.

[RyeGrog]

Every badboy has his soft side. Great rock ballad.

[marbleann]

A great song. Max Carl sings the hell out of it, Me too was surprised this came from 38 Special. Wasn't a big southern rock person. But this was great. it;s on my all time favorite list.

[psvs1]

holy crap i didnt know this song was by 38 special.

[WILLFREEDMUSIC]

I can't wait to see 38 again, I also videotaped 2 live songs of them, if ya have the time check them out. "38 SPECIAL ROCKS"

[USCgold]

Great love song! .38 Special is AWESOME!

[davidmok7]

es una balada de calibre 38.special,excelente cancion,para escucharlas en mas de una segunda oportunidad

[MrHARDFM]

I´m impressed with this music. Very very good balad from the 80 th´s.

[curitube]

As incredible as it may seem, being an 80s creature I came to hear this song for the 1st time 20 years after its release. Mmm, the 80s, the best memories. "I wanna go back and do it all over, but I can't go back, I know" - Eddie Money

[cfmagal]

Great and beautfull ballad, from their album "ROCK & ROLL STRATEGY",released in 1988. Lead vocals by Max Carl.

[mrbarbaro7]

me trae muchos recuerdos

[RiskyStickers]

Those were the days. Falling in Love and Breaking up.

[GisherJohn24]

One of my favorite songs near the end of their era. Wonderful 80's tune.

[fabulousvintage]

Who are the original band members in this video? What happened to the original lead singer? Rather ironic because the drummer sort of resembles Frank Beard...ZZ Top's drummer.

[aurelio1822]

una balada que hay que escuchar. es de las mejores en el rock. una tremenda banda

[coreyang08]

Have always been one of the few great songs of the 80's. The fond memories of the girls in high school and the many summer cruises through the nights. :)

[cemafan]

esta cancion trae recuerdos inolvidables de una epoca 80s inmejorable, gracias a 38 special por legar un tesoro al oido y al corazon....

[0ren3]

good times good days good band...love from israel

[MrJohnCarr]

Definitely, good times back then. Life was easy with these kinds of music. I miss it..

[violentautopsy80]

back when mullets got you pussy...

[tecnoborg75]

wow i even know that 38 special own this song!!

[rope2hocks]

Saw Max last night...with Grand Funk Railroad....he sang this wonderful song....& he was right on as ever. Yeah....he's still got IT. Brilliant! Loving Max Carl.

[ticketrunr]

How cool would it have been to hang out at the Van Zants on a Sat. nite, back in the day, with a bottle!!

[palomoquinto16]

muy bonita cancion para rrecordar.y disfrutar de la buena musica de grandes artistas ....ke para mi seguiran vivos en la historia.thanks y gracias.

[littlenicky999]

R.I.P Ronnie van zant

[pnoyrock76]

I LOVE THIS SONG I DEDICATE THIS FOR YOU R.M..D. frm Me-Man

[csteuart]

This is an awesome song.

[MrLuisito98]

me encanta esta rola.!!!

[asianwannabeamerican]

this song at the beginning sounds like the Police's 'Every Breath You Take', doesn't it? man, 38 Special is such a great band. can't believe I didn't discover them sooner. heard a few of their songs but never connected the band to the songs

[terrencelaisin]

this is a typical dude song. it is not heavy on feelings, and it conveys the message. right?

[Treaty4]

One thing that is really good about youtube, besides the fact that we can look at the artists we love, is the videos that come up on the side with artists we really never knew or artists we vaguely remember. This is one of those times. Glad I clicked on 38 Special. I remembered this great song. Now I can listen to more of their music.

[hotrod9102]

Saw them Sunday at the State Fair in Dallas....The best way I know how to put it...AWESOME!!!! These guys put on one hell of a show.

[gagebrwn]

Seeing these guys live Friday!

[coolrooney09]

One of 38 Special's smoother song ballads from the spring of '89....Awesome 80's live on!

[carcasion]

Beautyfull classic.

[DaintyDeema]

What a soul-ful song.

[rocketman6464]

great song......way too many mullets!!

[Lili1Music]

the best song!!!! i love!!!

[yawn370]

yep this is the song, absolutely love it

[journeyfan1995]

Can anyone really sing these days? All you really have to do is go to a recording studio and you can make your own album with a better sounding voice then the original.

[macmac436]

The best way to explain todays lack of real music is the record labels. Instead of promoting artists which bring something "new" they would rather promote artist which will provide more of the same because they are afraid it wont be as succesful.

It really is a shame, Record Company's seeing new inspiring artists as a threat. :(

This song wholly represents a time when music was art, and came from soul, rather then a team of writers paid for by the company.

I miss these days :(

[walakapalaeh]

i sorely miss these days too...=(

sell out bands usually appear on tv coz they look good not because they sound good...

[smith7829]

haven't heard this for years - gr8 track thx for uploading :)

[LDYWOLF27]

SECOND CHANCE YESSSS!!

[ultrakool]

nice tune. i remember this one back in the day getting heavy rotation in the piped in music at work. i prefer shinedown's song second chance to this though. so what if the lead singer is ugly as a mud fence, that boy can sing. lol

[duckoes]

ugly cunts

lucky for them it was the 80's ;p

[Obelisk2290]

super

[carm3d]

That smile creeps me out. 1:02

[ThePurplepussyeater]

38 Special played at the Parkersburg (WV) Homecoming and put on a great show. I hope they can make it back.

[4everLinkinPark1]

fuck the 80s

[czimeragi]

You are really sick.. I'm sorry you

[ThePojo77]

lol 4ever linkin park grew up in the 80's and i bet u alot of these bands influenced them so stick that in ur pipe and smoke it lol

[aerocoupeman]

1988, off of Rock and Roll Strategy album.

[deckham]

aw thanks.... that was starting to bother me!

[ThePojo77]

great song miss the 80"s

[TheDockside]

1986 ....love this song

[deckham]

1988 isn't it?? i could be wrong... One of the best songs of the 80's!

[TheDockside]

for sure:)

[mattdawg83686]

1989 I think.

[deckham]

we'll average it out between the 3 of us and say 1987.5 ........... hahaha..

[RyeGrog]

38 special did soundtracks for some movies. Teachers & Revenge of the Nerds.

[zbrusky]

J-ville 96.1 had this one on today at 6:15pm. Got me in the right mood for work... The slow fist pump was used...

[RyeGrog]

Every bad boy has his soft side. Great Song.

[scooterstrats]

Just saw\him do this about an hour ago in Pittsburgh. Sounded great. I forgot was him !

[pinkyswear51]

I love this song... the video isn't so great.. talk about mullets!

[englishsunset]

It was the 80's and that was part of the uniform.

[TheDockside]

oh ya....I don't miss the guys with mullets

[RedneckRickem]

I do, there's so few of us around anymore.

[TheDockside]

LOL!

[vodude]

Was really sad when Max Carl left .38 Special. "Bone Against Steel" was one of their best albums & he is a fantastic singer/songwriter. I wish he'd come back to them but I guess 2 lead singers is one to many & he's with GFR now. Would love to see a .38 special reunion though.

[Hnitida]

vodude want to see 38Special come to Dallas 27 September '09 State Fair of Tejas 5:30 Chevy Main Stage

[vodude]

Well I would if I could but i don't live anywhere near Dallas. LOL Hopefully 38 Special will come to Michigan one of these days though. Would luv to see them.

[Hnitida]

Sorry just lettin u know where they are if in the area. Go to their website and E-mail them to come to Michigan during some event in your area. Worth a try LOL. Hnitida

[florecitadeabril16]

gracias mil gracias por subrilo de nuevo.....amo esta cancion

[prorecone]

This song is sublime. Max has one of those soul stirring voices. He is a fine replacement for Mark Farner although I wish Mark was still with Grand Funk. Music doesn't get any better than this.

[englishsunset]

It was the era of the Ballads.

[eydafaridah]

I love this song so much.. remind me to someone that i hv missed so much ... I wish that he is still around wit me ..

[greenfields47]

38 special, is good with this song. Delightful song to listen to.

'Second Chance ' song is nice song

[runtanito]

so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Steveperry1981]

Thank you so much for posting this song!! I just love it!! It's definitely one of my favorite songs, and one of 38 specials best songs!!!

[RamrodProdigy]

Gr8 post ! i would like to take the opportunity to dedicate this song to a very special friend of mine.

[JYMSKYPER]

Desde Medellin- Colombia que Chimba  de video MARISOL VILLA

[runtanito]

la mejor cancion de todos los tiempos en la historia del pop music en ingles

[Urbby78]

great song

[chemytiger]

redburchell sounds like a teen-age punk.

[redburchell]

I bet they look back at themselves and laugh at their hairdoos and clothes! hahaha

[xvabeachgirl69]

I would have never known this was 38 special....what the hell??

[crossvilleboy]

Yeah, I remember this one. A good song, but, quite a mind blower. 38 special. Hmmmmm........

[dieselheart001]

The PERFECT example of Southern Rock taking a dump and playing with it. This is just soooo wrong. On many levels. The "wild eyed Southern Boys" really pussed it down to do a Lionel Ritchie rag like this.

This is better than F****n' Ex-Lax.

[Zealmonkey420]

This video is awesome, must of had a budget of like $25

[rookiesink]

I was never a huge 38 special fan...but...They did rock out last night LIVE!

They know how to work a stage!

[lexusry]

this song bring back so much memories. i wish i can turn back time

[SteelViper266]

Awesome! song love it.

[68wendie]

I was mind blown when I JUST recently found out 38 Special sang this song. I am very disappointed in myself for not knowing this being the fan of theirs that I am. I have always loved this song and never took the time to find out who sang it! Why this is not on their greatest hits CD is a mystery to me! By the way....these guys are still rockin' in concert!

[tank71988]

Which Greatest Hits CD do you have?

[chemytiger]

Beautiful song from an awesome band. Tons of talent from the guy's!

[armswing]

great mullets

[deckham]

business in the front, party in the back!!!!

great song!

[vlynge1979]

Thank U for sharing this video!!!! At last. I simple Love it.:)

[chickachickalady]

Doug McCauley you are out there somewhere. This heart needs a second chance. I was wrong and I admit it . I just can't say goodbye.......

[VaughnBrogdon121]

excellent music video

[runtanito]

¡ exelente video, excelente tema!!!!!!!!!!

[cwwbg]

how did they go from "Rockin Into the Night" to this??

[ThePurplepussyeater]

38 Special's playing at the Parkersburg Homecoming (WV) August 23...looking forward to it

[my2boys8386]

Interesting screen name...enjoy the concert...

[ThePurplepussyeater]

one of my high school friends posted a picture of some chick with her hair dyed purple on Facebook, so I made the comment "wonder if she's a natural purple" and he got pissed off and took me of his "friend list"...so I thought this would make a good screen name

[my2boys8386]

guess the guy couldn't take a joke, some have no sense of humor, enjoy the concert...and keep the screen name LOL

[caleb11583]

Sounds like he's a bitch

[homeskillet1962]

They played here at our county fair last year and they were awesome...

[dialysisrn]

Great song...but...it's a "Sorry I couldn't keep it in my pants...forgive me" Still love the song but lived through it and brings back too many bad memories...

[GIONIC1969]

Special 38...Great Song Great Lirics and ..that Burning Passion...For those who got a Second Chance...Great!!! I didn't Get it. This one is for SARA WEBB From STATESVILLE, N.C. SARA I'll Never Forget you... Love Shall Stand Every Pain.

[TheCaptainDenny]

Max Carl...wow...what a voice...and what a time. Brilliant song-writer. He knows how to hit the heart and capture every feeling. Not many can do that...

[Marcelim02]

When love makes this sound babe

A heart needs a second chance

Don't put me down babe

Can't you see I love you

Since you been gone I've been in a trance

This heart needs a second chance

Don't say it's over I just can't say goodbye

[dilts36]

Heard these guys in concert like a week ago, and lemme tell you. these guys should stop touring... Love there music thou!

[sasuke65743]

38 special!!!!! *_*

[zbrusky]

Jacksonville, Fl lovin it!!! great driving and singing song.

[2008mplee]

yes!!! jacksonville fl always plays this songgg on 96.1 fm its greattt!!!

[SFMonster]

Interesting seeing a 70s rock band repackaged as an 80s pop band. They make the shift with surprising grace.

[lupusgirl1000]

best song in the world for love songs

[aubriana2296]

MY HEART NEEDS A SANDWICH!

[aershamus]

great comment aubrianna!!

[blooda55]

so great but so depressing

[FlyingWarrior08]

So true but very powerful

[FordsRule351]

wtf is wrong with you? you fucking nasty

[FordsRule351]

you can go fuck yourself you stupid motherfucker ths song is awesome .38 special rules!

[Fanfardon]

I must admit that I love to fik myself, especially that now at 15 I have grown a very large milkstik. I love to work my meat at nite but the sound of my hand slicking up the meatpole hisses loudly and wakes my sister who comes to my room.Last night she gasped at the sight of my rod, criss-crossed with veins and raging purple, angry in its majesty. In a fit of lust she rushed over and swallowed it whole. The women of our clan are famous fellationists.

[aekevin77]

Very weird, but good and vivid writing, you should write childrens books.

lmao

[vallon1]

Bahaha

[vallon1]

I do agree this is good writing though, even if it is a little perverse.

[dawnsmysis]

Epic win.
