I always think of my sweet mom who loved this song so much, of course I love it too after hearing it all of my life pretty much. My mom sadly passed away 19 years ago, I sure miss her but this song makes my mom feel close to me. She left me her 45” vinyl records, this song is one of them.

I love how in the 3rd verse he changes the object of attention to himself (rather than other people) and changes the chorus phrase from "crying" to "dying". This is masterful work. This song is pain and pleasure.

I loved this song from its release. How can something so incredibly beautiful break your heart and make you fall in love with it? Amazing.❤

I was just a little boy when the song came out. For some reason, it’s one of the songs that stays with me. I love the music and his vocals have so much emotion. But the lyrics are very poetic. Very underrated.

"toss up my heart and see where it lands"......beautiful poetry. Gorgeous song.

the 70's was a good year for rock ballads especially this lovely Stephen Bishop song :)

One of my late Mom's favorite songs!! I hope she gets to hear him sing it in Heaven.

Does it get much more beautiful. We are so blessed for artists such as S. Bishop.

Everytime someone tells me they're going to Jamaica I think in Stephen Bishop, love this mellow laid back.

I am only 15 and i love to listen to music like this. It was a gem that i found this music and its on repeat all day i thank stephen bishop for giving us such a comforting song to listen to❤️

Although your point in correct and your heart is true, you cannot win this fight. Objectifying and belittling women is part of what popular media is all about. If women don't feel bad about their appearance, no one buys lipstick, or leg razors, tummy tucks, or 10,000 dollar Armani dresses. The first thing anyone must do to escape the constant nagging indoctrination into the cult of woman hating and female inadequacy is to stop watching television. Since no one will ever do that (for reasons that altogether escape me-TV is still the Great Intellectual Wasteland-it is unlikely that objectification of woman as a whole-and as individuals-will ever cease. Next, a woman must give up Cosmo, and all the Home Beautiful Magazines-who ALSO push that same false image of the "Perfect Housewife", or "The Perfect Lover", which suggests subliminally that you are not. We are fed falsehoods and degrading opinions about ourselves for one reason only: to sell us products we do not need and cannot afford. Give up on that stupidity and, I hope, manufacturers and publishers will start pushing more goods and services that we DO need. The reason they don't already? Simple; profit margins on necessary goods are not as great as the profits made on luxuries misrepresented as necessities. "Designer" Clothes . . . not necessary. Credit Cards? one of the most amazing scams ever run on the helpless and hapless. Buy Now, Pay Later? Ruinously expensive way to do anything. I point fingers here at Ownership in general and owners in specific: no matter how they disguise their culpability in our financial distress, they are the whole cause of it.

What a Great Song by this Singer, Stephen Bishop!☺👍
