As a man in my 30's, in Law Enforcement, and a general "man's man" Drinking beers, loud rock music, fast cars, etc.... this song, whenever it comes on or I hear it, stops me dead in my tracks. I usually end up reflecting and tearing. This is one of those songs a friend would go "So, who is she?" We all have that "one that got away". Truly a beautiful and classic song destined never to be topped. A miracle how 4:23 worth of music and lyrics can make a grown man tear and smile at once.

a decade and a bit later, still there - same tune...

Stephen Bishop, like Jimmy Webb, is a national treasure. Enough said.

The hardest thing is to mourn over someone who's still alive, not knowing that it is you who really died...

I love Stephen Bishop and have always loved his heartfelt expression through his voice, guitar, and his music-thanks for another great lovesong Stephen!

How could anyone give this a thumbs down? It is gorgeous.

Saddest song ever. Had to listen to it tonight

Years ago My ex girlfriend broke up with me, then i heard this song... Suddenly I started crying.. Very emotional song..

Until today I had only heard the Phil Collins version of this song. I didn't know Stephen Bishop wrote it, nor indeed that he got an Academy Nomination for it (although he didn't win) It was ALWAYS the lyrics that got me with this song - and now, knowing that it's yet another stunning Stephen Bishop creation - I'm going - BUT OF COURSE - duh.

I didn't know he wrote this. Beautiful and heart wrenching song.

One of my favorite. It always reminds of so much heartache's before. Wonderful rendition by stephen bishop

This song is very heartbreaking. Reminds me of all the heart breaks ive been too.

It's widely known the woman Bish is singing about is actress Karen Allen, who had been his girlfriend. He always said he writes better songs when he's depressed. When he sings about "someday looking in your eyes" just imagine her eyes . When I hear this song now, I wonder if he ever had the chance to look again in her eyes.

while listening to this song makes me think my past.........this song still brings back the tears...........

Plucks at the heart strings...

How can someone make a comment so cruel about Stephen Bishop? The interpretation of Phil Collins in Separate Lives is phenomenal and would not have been possible if not for Mr. Bishop, because Bishop is the author of this masterpiece. By the way,Bishop`s performance in Separate Lives is also excellent.

@amtrak207 Kind of a straight, silent shot to the heart, isn't it? No matter how often I listen to this one, the power of evoked emotion always catches me off guard. One ot those songs that slams into your heart, and you whisper "thank you" as you lie there bleeding.

Just lost my wife of over 30 years. So hard to go on.

Lovely, lovely words, full of honest feeling. I love to write songs ... maybe some day I'll write a classic like this! :-)

Yes. (sorry for the late reply all). This song always hits hard. Those critical words "Someday... I might... Find myself... Looking in your eyes... But for now... We'll go on living... Separate lives." followed by the piano closeout still has the power to move Mt. Rainier. Sheer brilliance. These aren't lyrics but a work of art (coming from a man who probably just played AC/DC.). We all have been there. You're right, some wounds just aren't meant to heal.

schoolboy emotions ...again ..takes me back to a different time ... beautiful and sad

Some scars take a lifetime to heal from... RJ

hindi nakakasawa. ang galing!

Some day I might find myself looking in your eyes

Just lost my wife of over 30 years. So hard to go on. How are women able to just write you off with no feelings about it at all, especially when you gave them everything you have.

hang in there brother !

I love this song! amaizing guitar arrange！

I didnt know this song could be more painful when it actually happened to me. When my bf broke up without telling the reason, this is what's keep repeating in my mind. "You have no right to ask me how I feel. You have no right to speak to me so kind. " Well, he didnt talk to me again and asked how I was hahah

some wounds just wont heal... =(

this song clearly states my past love now we are living are separate lives.

i feel something lose, feels empty, everytime I hear this song...

Fantastic performance

He's a powerful fella

My favorite version ever!

Beautiful, Stephen!! Jeremy

Happy Valentines Day!

I love this song so very emotional...

Awesome song! The best of his whole career, in my opinion. Made popular by Phil Collins and Marilyn Martin. :)

Ooh, it's so typical, love leads to isolation So you build that wall (build that wall) Yes, you build that wall (build that wall) And you make it stronger Well you have no right to ask me how I feel You have no right to speak to me so kind Some day I might (I might) find myself looking in your eyes But for now, we'll go on living separate lives

EXCELENTE CANCIÓN!!!!!!!!!!

Loves lead to isolation.. 💔

This song have the same effect as Gordon Lightfoot's "if you could read my mind". Women at many times don't seem to understand the pain when they do hurt Men emotionally. To a woman, they can get men as if they're a bunch of clothing at a store. But to a guy being torn by heartbreak, its devastating!

i cried

Infinite torch song beauty!

soothes to the heart

omg fantastic song missing u always

By far! Both versions are still beautiful and some of the best in their class, however, I feel.

@amtrak207 yep, so true...if you've lived a life at all, you've thought these words once or twice...

Man your so good.......

very nice!

excelente

I didnt know it was a Stephen Bishop song...

One of the best break up songs of all time! It just hits my heart strings whenever this song is played. Someone has to do a revival of this song, maybe Mariah or Celine

Kinda sucks to hear the floor creaking and things shifting offstage in quiet sections where you should be able to hear nothing but a pin drop with the audience spellbound frozen and breathless. I remember watching him play this song with just his guitar on some daytime talk show in the 1980's. I know you could have heard a pin drop in my living room that day during the quiet moments of the song.

His version is better than Phil's.

He did it in 2 hours before a concert in a hotel room. And one more thing is that its quite of on the spur of the moment when it was made.
