Michael Martin Murphey - Wildfire

[Newzchspy]

How could she go calling "Wildfire" if she died one winter when there came a killing frost? Wasn't she dead already when Wildfire "busted down HIS stall?" How could she go calling Wildfire??? I am way confused??

[acousticguitarfan]

Brings back memories!

[09phantomphan]

oh god...i just love this song

[mikey1829]

One of the most beautiful songs ever written.Murph still sounds great today as well.

[fairump2003]

Great old tune!

[Hljakes]

love this song 

[gianna1able]

This song just takes me to a peaceful time in life...when life was simple.

[mixedbreed19]

@gianna1able Since I could remember, I've had a yearning to have lived in the 70s, I love that decade, just from what I see. Plus, my parents keep telling me their stories, and just how fun and amazing of a time it was in the 70s. Perhaps being 15 in 1970 like my Mom was lol. But that would have been perfect...then ride out into the 80s as well....wat a trip that would have been..

@MrRichardKraniun

How much coke do you think was done to that song?

[Grimblix]

My mom died on Christmas 2010. I would have played this song at her funeral,

except that I'm poorer than dirt, disabled, and have no car, so I had no way to travel to another city to attend her funeral. Coincidentally, my dad was born on Christmas day, and died 2 days after my birth. Fortunately, I was prematurely born, or he would never have gotten to see me.

As far as Christmas goes for me from now on, it'll be "Happy Birthday Jesus and Dad" and that's it. No "celebrating" for me....

[fletchlver]

LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[JimyJak]

Complete & absolute great memories of my father this song brings to me.

[jholloway23grim]

thats my brother on lead guitar. his name is Richard Dean. my name is bean dean and im clean in between the scene

[cocobean101010]

MMM is FOR slaughtering wild horses. (Just ask Madeleine Pickens, who's trying to save them) I don't much like this song anymore.

[minks1968]

@cocobean101010 how is this song bout slaughtering horses?? how do you even get that from those lyrics?? duh

[cocobean101010]

@minks1968 duh well duh minks duh how do you even think I got it from the lyrics duh?? The song isn't about horse slaughter - the artist, is. duh

[minks1968]

@cocobean101010 I never SAID it was about horse slaughter ya dork << SHIT FIRE<,,

[Newzchspy]

@minks1968 I do agree, what happened to Wildfire??? and why was the Mountain Yellow, from Horse pee??? The song never says and inquiring minds want to know why??? Why did Wildfire run away,? Was he being abused?? He busted down his stall. Then he got lost!!!

[minks1968]

@Newzchspy he got tired of that cold ass freezing stall is what LOL,, headed to warmer climates,, smart horse hehehe :)

[Xavienne]

@minks1968 I'm going to tell myself that's what happened, it is a damn sight cheerier than what my mind fills in. I like your version, thanks!

[TheIreneT]

@Newzchspy The song is based on a dream MMM had. So I guess the dream didn't address everything. Beautiful song!

[dapianoguy07]

that's what I call a true cowboy music!!

[kenscar]

This was about the time I first met MMM. He brought a copy of "Blue Sky, Night Thunder" to our house and gave it to my parents - before it was released. My parents still have it - with the "Not for Sale" stamp on it. If you go see this guy in concert today he sounds even better than this, BTW. The guy is an amazing artist.

[digitalwatcher]

Makes me think of every lady that had a pet that passed away and tore a hole in her heart leaving her cry..... oh yea does it o me too .

[TamTam7269]

This song has made me cry ever since i was a little girl and it still does to this day =(......

[MrJacMac1986]

Good song to get a woman in the mood

[MrJacMac1986]

Makes me think of Playboy Playmate Linda Vaughn. They used this song on her video profile back in 1982's Playmate Video Review.

[reymatt76]

Oh no, he's not lip syncing. Be still my heart.

[westrokker]

i lived on fig st. in new orleans when this came out , long way from home.....this really takes me back

[kmonahan08]

I love love love this song. It puts a big smile on my face. I was in my 20's living in Florida when this song came out and life was great. Brings me back to some good memories and great friends I met along the way!!

[Oceabrz]

I had forgotten how handsome he was! that was the look back in the day, the long hair. I still love it.

[Sunni1955]

talk about a rush of memories...was pregnant in late 75 and this song would make me cry every time I heard it...the hormones? or just a DAMN super song!!

[Tnlrop]

Beautiful song. Nothing more free than riding a fast moving horse. Makes one feel invincible but just an illusion.

[westrokker]

god what a great a song

[GrnEyed81]

If you like Michael, check out his appearance on "Legends and Lyrics" on PBS - he appears with Pam Tillis and plays beautifully. That said, this song as well as so many that he wrote for others always brought tears to my eyes....

[AnthonyStJames]

Lot of live versions of this here on YouTube, and they're all GREAT.

[webmail111]

i set pandora radio on low when i answered the phone. when i went back to pandora i realized from the history list that i had missed wildfire, so i had to look it up in

youtube. i remember hearing this often on the radio in the mid '70s

[rattinox]

Outstanding! Tell your Bro he Lived the Life.

[dockie1964]

This is one Hell of a good song..Thanks for the post ..

[goode2shus]

I love this song! My boyfriend sings this at karaoke and he's amazing!

[nzkiwi1a]

Really beautiful song

[Henrytheape]

thanks for sharing this!

[StarburstPhotography]

This is a great song for me as well.

It always makes me reflect when I first heard the song. I was fucking a girl named Cindy in the ass, when this song came on.

[rextrek]

@StarburstPhotography now thats a funny comment.....I remember what I was doing when I heard the song "Tainted Love"..LOL

[RedfireBlueice]

When I heard this song when I was little I would cry. Still do!

[regency98us]

me too, It always makes me cry because it reminds me of one day in 1988 when I was in my 3rd yr of college a few states away, my mom called to tell me our irish setter who we had since 1975 had suddenly died. I took a drive in the country and this song came on and it reminded me of her since I used to call her wildfire because she was red. I felt bad since I wasnt there when she died.

[RedfireBlueice]

@regency98us

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss and to connect it with a song like this would definitely make me cry too. :(

[jimpy419]

That bassist hit an F note instead of an E at 4:02 and fucked things up pretty darn well. Otherwise very moving indeed. You can really hear the emotion in his voice at 3:18 when he says "gonna go." Great tune man!

[greekbassist78]

bimdan this song is incredible. i will be 32 this year and its incredible

[bimdan]

yeah, i was about 15 or 16 when he released it and loved the song then... love it now. what a great singer/songwriter.

[kevin4102006]

wonderful song.i was 16 year old and today when i listen it i feel something in my heart.

[CreamyKrau]

haha, nice long hair. BTW, I went to a few of your concerts growing up.

[G0K3001]

I saw him in Gruen Hall in around San Marcos Texas early 80's nothing but trees, Texas Hill Country and about a 100 year old dancehall. A Great show excellent muscianship great showman greater songs.......I know he is still doing it... I hope he does Carolina in the Pines, there alot of good ones.

[69Telecaster]

Wow, is that John McKuen on banjo?

[boulderjames]

Nice to see older videos from MMM... been a favorite of mine since the early

70's and this is one of my all time favs!

Thanks!

[sookiestackhouse2u]

jesus, what a gorgeous man!

[geridg]

if your into hairy 70's guys :)

[sookiestackhouse2u]

i sure am! it was *another* time, the 70's ... beautiful men and women.

[Zzsmile]

what ever happened to this guy.?

[sookiestackhouse2u]

he became a huge country star not to mention songwriter for others.

[Bigjohnnywad]

He is still touring! I saw him in Concert last week in California. What a show!

[SullenMorbius]

That's my bro on lead guitar. His name is Richard Dean.

[dockie1964]

@SullenMorbius Cool..

[deathmetaldouglas69]

@SullenMorbius Not only did your bro provide some killer guitar tapestries but his vocal harmonies here are absolutely crucial to the song. Kinda cool how Richard and Micheal trade their vocal harmonies in the last chorus. Liking it!

[Culebrinha]

@SullenMorbius tell your brother he¨¨s a great musician and that´s a wonderful wondeerful song

[85jaded]

@SullenMorbius kool

[brandchanning]

@SullenMorbius

You gotta be proud of that. I'm 46 and remember how beautiful that song was and how it affected me so long ago. Cool.

[megamanmaniac]

@SullenMorbius Talented man!

[mandogirl62]

I Love This One. So Cool!
