Wow, this is as good an anything they've ever done. And that's saying a lot. Thanks so much for posting.

I think you can really hear the U2 influence in this song.

I fuckin love this song. One of the best rock songs in the last 20 years. They sing and play with such passion.

Read about their performance in LA yesterday and saw reference to this song. My first listen, I love it. This reminds me of the Sultans of Swing, very smooth, cool sound.

There is so much to like about OneRepublic. In this video, apart from another great song, the drummer looks like he's really having a great time and really delivers in this song. These guys are always good.

Altho Rumors sold more, I've always thought this was their best. I had it on cassette when it came out and it has gotten lost. Thanks for posting.

Thanks so much for posting as I prefer the Fleetwood Mac version. I remember first hearing it shortly after Bare Trees came out, about 1972. They were known mostly as an R & B group at the time, as I recall.

Have been following GL for about 40 years, this might be my favorite song because when I was growing up my Mom always warned me about "fair weather friends", so I've always tried to be a "rainy day person" altho GL was the first time I heard that term. After having too many people turn into fair ...

Thanks again for posting another Gordo gem. I especially like this one cuz it is a perfect slice of my life. When I first heard this I thought, "My God, he's lived my life."

The piano line is so simple yet so addictive I could listen all day and the use of the strings is really beautiful. What a great song that should be better known.

Watching Dick Clark's New Year's whatever with Ryan Seacrest last night, couldn't help but contrast these guys with so many little or no talent performers before and after them. Imagine, a group that writes its own great music, plays multiple instruments and actually sings great melodies. This is...

@MisterE103 Two examples of recent songs that aren't what you describe--Firework by Katy Perry and Good Life by OneRepublic. Actually, back in the late 50's, early 60's, the songs were much more depressing, IMO. I think there's more upbeat music now than in the past and l've been listening to pop...

@home2ideas Very insightful. Your ideas give me a suggestion about what the theme of the video is--if you are afraid to move on, you will die figuretively if not literally. The desolation of the video stands for the desolation of a life left unrealized.

@indodesi Most of today's music is absolute crap, but there are exceptions. Check out OneRepublic, Fleet Foxes, The Head and the Heart, for example.

Whether this or the Timbaland version, this is such a great song that it's hard to fuck it up and I like both. Whatever, this is a great video that goes with it. From the video standpoint, it's easily the best I've seen with a OneRepublic song. Kudos to the above mentioned Aaron Platt.

This has gotta be one of the sexiest songs ever.

The Wilson sisters were goddesses and this song is truly haunting and awesome.

There was and always will be only one Roy Orbison. Maybe the greatest male voice ever in rock and roll! What a shame he had to leave us too soon.

I played this 45 till it was all worn out. Thanks for posting. I prefer this to the Righteous Bros. version, even with their wall of sound production.

Agree this is a great song when today there is so much absolute crap. There is still some good stuff, tho. Try OneRepublic for some real music by a modern group. Most all of my favorites are from the 80's and 90's.

@bigdaddyfranchise Read his bio in Wikipedia. I have listened to a lot of music in my life and I am in awe of his talent, especially compared to how much crap there is out there these days.

The girl holding one of the picture panels at 1:14 looks like the same girl who was featured in the Secrets video. Wonder if she is a gf of one of the band members?
