My wonderful wife passed away very unexpectedly a few months ago without either of us having a chance to say good-bye. It ripped my heart out to lose her. My therapist suggested that I write a letter to her, telling her what I would have said if we did have a chance to say good-bye. I did, and it helped from that perspective. Then recently "Babe" came on the radio and it hit me between the eyes. This song, in so many ways, seemed to me to be her way of saying good-bye to me. Now I play it several times a week and let the tears flow down my cheeks. Bye, babe.

Makes me feel good in tough times

This song meant the most to me twice in my life. The first time, was about 15 years (and 3 children) after we eloped to get married, my wife wanted to separate because she missed her 20’s as a single girl. We never really parted and it lasted about 3 months. She came back to me and all was forgiven. We stayed married and in love 53 years. Soon after that, in February 2019, she died from cancer. And that was the second time this song had a significant meaning to me. “I miss you, Babe.”

We played this song at dad's funeral yesterday, around the beginning of the service. It was emotionally heavy for us, because the whole family likes Styx. I'm glad my parents got to go see Styx in concert a few years ago.

This is our song. Mine and my late husband. He been gone 8 years now..this song will always bring me many loving memories of our live together.❤🛐

My father played this song the last time to my mother singing word for word to her it was such a beautiful moment to witness ❤❤

I miss so much don’t no how I can go on with out him. I also had this song at his funeral showing. Closing song was stairway to heaven. His death was unexpected

I was lucky enough to see these guys in concert 3 times back in the day. Still love their music 😁

Contemporaneously this song played on the school bus home in a quotidian fashion yet it lingers on decades later for the ear that heard and appreciated it at the time and beyond

Dennis DeYoung initially penned “Babe” (1979) as a birthday gift for his wife. He didn’t envision it as material for Styx - just something personal - but when their record company heard it, they pegged it as a knockout and insisted it be on the “Cornerstone” LP (1979). DeYoung had taped this song as a demo with bass guitarist Chuck Panozzo and drummer John Panozzo. But it sounded so good that the demo was what they used on the album, with just a Tommy Shaw guitar solo added on. All the vocals were by DeYoung, who recorded himself to create the harmonies. “Babe” was Styx’s only #1 hit in the US, and by far their highest charting track in the UK. Unfortunately, Styx had to move on without Dennis DeYoung in 1999. Consequently, most of DeYoung’s creations were immediately jettisoned from the group’s setlists. And unsurprisingly, “Babe” ended up being a staple of the solo artist’s concerts❕ ONE MUST-LISTEN‼️ 💛🎵💙

Back in '80, it became known that one of our friends thought the lyrics started out "Babe I'm believin'...." It took us quite a bit to convince him it wasn't. And if you listen to it a few times in just a certain (wrong) way...it really does sound like "believin'"...in fact, he got us all to change how we sang along, even knowing it was "leavin'"...so, if/when this happens to you...you can thank that kid from 1980.
