It's where people have had near death experiences and what they saw on the other side for those brief moments. They are beautiful!!! It changed the way I feel about losing people and pets in my life. I'm no longer sad. I Highly recommend watching those on KZread. It will change your whole perspective 😊

I was in a serious accident in Minneapolis in April of 2014. In my Semi. A woman cut me off in traffic. She had 8 children in her vehicle and I swerved real hard to avoid hitting her because I was concerned about the children. I had a Traumatic Brain Injury and I was in a coma for 7weeks. I walked with my Lord and Savior Jesus. I. Thought I had passed away from the Accident. But Jesus said that I had more to do here with my family. I've become more confident that it was a real experience
As a teenager I wanted to download this song but was not available in New Zealand - I left a message Michael Murphys website asking how I could purchase it - instead I got a personal email and a file of the song from Michael! One of the most influential songs for me

I was a senior in high school when this song hit the airwaves. Back then, it was just another tune written by another country singer. I'm now 66 years of age. I've been listening to this fabulous page out of my past and am amazed at just how quickly it conjures up so many different yet poignant memories each and every time I hear it. It's almost as though I'm staring at a reflection in in a hazy window but can never pin down whether or not I'm on the outside looking in or vice versa. Loves that have been lost, loves that have been won and some that never even had a chance. I will always drift back to my youth whenever this songs graces my sense of hearing and I will always be grateful for the peace and tranquility that it provides. Thank You M.M.M for this precious gift!
This song reminds me of my sister. She loved horses. She was killed by a drunk driver a few years ago. She was such a beautiful person.

My late husband and I attended a Seals & Crofts concert at the Dome outside Rochester, New York, many years ago, thanks to our friend Curt, who was the father-in-law of one of Seals & Crofts' roadies. Michael Murphey performed "Wildfire" that night at the concert. I think it was soon after the song was released. We met Michael and his wife before the show. Of course we were thrilled when we realized it was his song we had been hearing on the radio. We met Jimmy Seals and Dash Crofts after the show. What a wonderful evening and memory for a small-town couple! We were married for 60 years and still mentioned that evening throughout our time together.

Back in the 70's I worked at a stable in Southern Wisconsin and remember this song playing on a small hand held radio in the barn and fell in love with it ever since. We named one of the new colts Wildfire after this song. Many fond memories of a beautiful and simple time.

Hello Angie how are you doing?
My mommy is currently in the hospital battling breast cancer. Every single weekend she played this song, sometimes multiple times, and I always kept telling her to listen to something different. I can’t believe barely today is when I realized how beautiful it is. I love my mommy.

I’m so very sorry to hear about your mother with her battle with breast cancer. I know how awful it is. My sister is going through the exact same thing with breast cancer that spread through her body. She starts her 2nd bout of even stronger Chemo that is sure to make her hair fall out and make her very sick. She’s 9 years older than me at 67 and her being a teenager in the late 60s and early 70s, she taught me about all these bands and musicians and we would listen to records together. I was 4 and she 13 in 1969 when she started as my Rock&Roll Teacher, despite the serious generation gap between our parents and us kids, who hated Rock&Roll. (Though this song is a beautiful ballad, and considered soft rock.) My sister would often babysit me on the weekends and she’d sneak us to concerts in Miami with her hippie friends.. I would ,literally, be the youngest kid there. She was a very caring sister. I hope she makes it through this disease, but if she doesn’t, I’ll always have sadness in my heart for the rest of my life. Again, I’m so sorry to hear about your mommy. Incredibly mine, as well as my dad are still alive at 92 and 95. My parents and I are all heartbroken that this is happening to her. I very much hope your mommy pulls through this dreaded disease. You have my sympathies.

Referring to Michael hart
This is by far the best version of this wonderful, beautiful song. The extended piano and Murphey's guitar totally drives home its loveliness. Murphey's intro illustrates how special the song has been to him for all of these years. Just pure musical magic here, about a magic horse.
This song has "moved" my heart and soul more than words can explain for such a long time. It is just beautiful & majestical. I have named my sailboat "Wildfire" and someday, when I get my own Palomino, like Michael Martin Murphy did, I will name her "Wildfire". I really love this song with all my heart, so much, it makes me cry...not for being sad or happy, just the passion it evokes in my soul.

Back in the 70’s I worked in a little downtown beer & wine bar frequented by a great variety of folks. We had one regular customer come in as soon as we opened up every day - an old guy ravaged by time and alcohol who had given in to his addiction long ago. He used to sit by himself at a little table near the jukebox every day, order a beer, and play this song over and over, singing along with it at top volume with all his heart. He never bothered anybody, and after a few beers he’d get up and walk out. I can never hear this song without thinking of this old man. He sure did love that magic horse.

One thing that cannot be denied, the 70's singers relied on actual voice. He sound just as good live as he does recorded. No auto-tunes back then! Good job!

More importantly, music from 70's-80's have stories and meaning. Completely different from the trashy music today.
An inspiration of my mom as she fought dying from cancer in the 70s.
This song takes me back to my younger years. The first boy I ever loved played this song on his guitar for me. This is such a sweet memory for me.

My wife who I lost 3 years ago loved this song. She rode in horse shows and loved them. When I hear this song I see her riding as a young girl. I had her for over 50 years but this song brings the tears to my eyes as I loved her so. The courage and dignity she showed through her illness I will never forget and I hope I have the same at my end days. Thank you wildfire

One of the greatest songs, ever sung.
This live version of "Wildfire" is absolute perfection from beginning to end. Nothing that I or anyone else could say can add or detract from it's Timeless beauty.
One of the best songs ever.
I went to a Michael Murphy concert at Red Rocks Amphitheater outside Denver in 1976 or 1977. The lights were turned down when they began to play this song. I'll never forget that opening piano, under the stars on a beautiful Colorado summer night.

Red Rocks is a unique Amphitheater. The Shape of it was designed for music, and its a wonderful experience if you ever are in that area to attend a show.

Wow how 😎
My God that piano intro is from some celestial place! Gives me chills every time I play this. Michael chose the perfect player to play that intro for a live setting. Fantastic musicians on that stage. Long before protools and auto tune. When musicians rehearsed until it was perfect and didn’t depend on technology to make it better. People were playing complex music to perfection for over 500 years before the technology. I wish they would go back to recording old school live in the studio with very few overdubs. The music used to have a heartbeat and swing. Todays music sounds like a machine droning that has no way to give you chills of joy. Chills of pain is about it. Thank goodness there are a few bands that still make it old school.

It IS magical isn't it? I can think of no other song that envelopes me in such melancholy and yearning as does this one. In my mind, Wildfire is a once in a lifetime song.

Great music does not age! I still marvel at this song years later. The piano introduction is one of my favorite of all time, acoustic guitar is awesome.
The 70's had the best music......and this is one of them......Fantastic
Listening right now may 19th 2024 these songs never get old I'm 60 and they relax me
You can take your music that is recorded now and stick it where the sun doesn’t shine. This music is classic and can never be replaced . I grew up in the 70’s . What a fabulous decade . Makes me cry !!! 😢

70s what a beautiful time. That was truly a peaceful era It would be so nice if the world was still that way. Nothing can ever replace that time wouldn't that be great. We can just be greatful we did live through that time. And when we hear the music from those good ole days we can smile and relive it not only in our minds but in our hearts.
