That album was released in 1983, and was never re-released on CD. So the only versions available would be a vinyl copy or cassette. (probably easy to find on e-Bay)

@doctrDave

If you are talking about the album "River of Time" on which this song is included, I beg to differ. I have the cd of it.

No, I was replying to thegrizbear, who asked about the song "The Heart Never Lies". I know that "River of Time" is on CD, I played the keyboards on it and co-wrote two of the songs...

Wonderful video, I also thank you. I am from Idaho, and these bears are magnificant. Unfortunately, what the song says is true. The Sawtooth Mountains are gorgeous and very wild, and are a prime target for new homes. We are now having issues with the gray wolves, too. Some want to shoot them, others want to save them. Like the song says... children of the wild world, go there now...

Thanks for posting this video as the song is wonderful. Where can MMM fans get his music these days let alone videos like this? MMM has many songs that are awesome beside Wildfire. Anyone know the song "The Heart Never Lies"? Where can I get it? Ebay? Very hard to find his work anywhere. Any help is appreciated. His fan club is no help at all. I have emailed them several times re: these questions with no response.

Always his song treat me natural.

I am great lucky to know his style,how to sing,songwriting in my life.

[lobo81865]
