I remember when this song first came out! If it does not pull at our core, heart strings, dreams of what your have or want to have then nothing will. Brings tears to eyes every time I hear it. I guess that means 20 yrs..... THis version is beautiful also!
I just found my True Companion 30 years after we first dated in high school. Life is full of surprises. He plays the guitar a little, and needs to sing this one to me!
Thank you for posting this! What an amazing night! I am glad that we braved the cold to be there! It was so worth it. I loved finally hearing the story behind this song, although it was not what I expected! LOL! Thank you again for posting!!
oh. my. god. my Marine sang this song to me. before he left again. oh God i forgot how beautiful this song was :) I love you baby!!! this is going to be our wedding song!
For instance, "Burning the Daze" ranks right up there with his other albums. Cohn proves again that he's a triple-threat with his lyricism, vocal, and musical talents. "Olana" focuses on Cohn's melodic voice, and the many layers of this song sound so simple under Cohn's magic.
A one hit wonder? Take some time out of your day and listen to not only his first album, but all of his albums, and maybe you will see how much of a musical genius he is. I don't know what you think, but in my personal opinion, he hasn't written many bad songs in his career.
Please, next time just think what you're typing before you type it next time.
Walking in Memphis can't hold a candle to this song. Marc Cohn can leave this world knowing he wrote one of the most beautiful songs of all times. Anyone who has been with the same lover for 30 years and beyond will know what I mean.

@ObamaJoker sounds like a delay and volume pedal throughout the whole song.

His whole first Album was great so idk what you're all talking about he's not a one hit wonder.

Marc is far from a 'one hit wonder'
what a ridiculous thing to say--
For instance, "Burning the Daze" ranks right up there with his other albums. Cohn proves again that he's a triple-threat with his lyricism, vocal, and musical talents. "Olana" focuses on Cohn's melodic voice, and the many layers of this song sound so simple under Cohn's magic.
Cohn's musical ability is simply amazing."

How did I just discover this song? When songs are this good, people need to put out some freakin' memos or something.
Can't wait to sing this to my future wife.
