Memories of a time that will never be again.... So grateful for the 70's

RIP to Dave Loggins who passed on a few days ago. He was 76. For this wandering young man, his song was my anthem. Home at last.

He's never coming back to Tennessee. He even says in the song that he's a drifter. If she was ever foolish enough to go to any of the places he writes her from they would be moving to the next wanderlust destination before she ever had a chance to settle in. They may love each other but they are completely mismatched. They might long for each other but he's doing what's right for him and she's doing the same for herself. That's what, along with his plaintive singing, makes the song so bittersweet.

Another 70’s CLASSIC

Giving my age, but I remember hearing this song in the summer of 1974. I was 16 yrs old. It changed my life. Never have I heard a song that had such a profound effect.

Great song. Love the way Dave says his lady's "No. You come home to me". It varies every time. Thanks.

Love the way he kicks his vocals up a notch for the last chorus.

Harri, when you said, "The woman always wins," you left off the ending: "because she's worth it." The woman never wins unless she's The One. 😊

I was in college in the early seventies and sang in the college men's glee club. One spring we toured colleges in New England and stayed a couple of nights in the Cambridge section of Boston. Two of my buddies and I sang in a "folk" trio within the group and were fully immersed in the burgeoning singer-songwriter scene of the time. We read that a local coffeehouse had a performer named Dave Loggins playing that night, so we went and were thoroughly entertained and impressed by his performance. A year or so later, this song was released and we knew immediately what its inspiration was. btw, one of the three of us became a very successful sing-songwriter. His name is Jules Shear, and he has had a lifetime career on the national music scene.

Forgot about this song. So glad to rediscover this one. Great song.

“And there’s some stars who fell from the sky livin up on the hill” awesome lyrics

One of my absolute fav's...! "Someone I can sing to..."

I interpreted the song the same way bruh. He’s a musician and traveling where his job is taking him. In Boston he’s trying to land a job at a cafe, living in a friend’s room, and just surviving. By the time he reached Denver he’s more established, looking to settle in a home in the mountains. He finally gets to L.A., the height of success, beach front property, yet never convinced his love to come join him, probably as she knows it’s only a matter of time before he’s off to another place.

So I'm at a bar eith friends. I was about 6 when this cam out. BEAUTIFUL song, BEAUTIFUL voice. My little sister who was born in 1971 doesn't remember this. My friends born in 69 and 61 remember this. I just sent to my sister. This is making me emotional 😢

I've been listening to this song since it came out when I was 10. I'm now 59 years old and was "today" years old when I learned - from you - that Dave Loggins and Kenny Loggins were cousins. Wild. Keep up the great work!

Dave Loggins has been one of my favourites over the years. Apparently only made it "big" in South Africa and Australia

I remember this song, loved it then and still love the song

I love this song. I grew up near LA, had to move to North Carolina with my family. Now I have kids and I'm stuck here. I hope to one day go back to the LA area because I miss the weather so much. I tell my sons to move where they want to live before they get stuck and have to settle down.

Your videos make me happy. Such a beautiful energy. Keep up the great work friend

I love that song one of my favorites thank you

Dan Fogelberg~ "Same Auld Lang Syne" is AMAZING....!

One of my favorite "old folkie" songs.

Funny how a song can break your heart. it broke all those years ago when just a girl I kept wishing the woman would go to him...she never did. i wished he would go home.. but he never did. A great love lost...after all these years now close to 60 yrs old, it still breaks my heart.

This song never fails to catch me off guard, I am an eternal wanderer and this song reminds me of just how lonely this lifestyle is. I want to see everything this beautiful world has to offer even more so then a singular love locking me down. Beautiful song.. If you get the chance, take a look at "I Wouldn't Have Missed It For the World" and "Smoky Mountain Rain" by Ronnie Milsap...

Another Dave Loggins song to listen to is “Sunset Woman”. Don’t think it ever made it to the charts but people think it’s one of his best.

This song is so drenched in the harmonies of my youth. Geeeee

Another song from my childhood, I don't want to get old I just want to go back to my childhood when I was at home with both my parents and life was so simple. Beautiful song.

This has been a favorite song of mine since I was 12 and it came out. Even as a kid, I could understand how everything we was looking for was right in front of him, but he couldn’t see it. Despite her reminders.

Beautiful and sad song

He does make it back to Tennessee. Mountain City as a matter of fact. Married his gf in the song, been with her ever since. Loyalty and faithfulness. Notice her commonsense "There ain't no gold and their ain't nobody like me. I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee." Took her to keep him grounded and recognize where his home was, and still is.

Liked your reaction, good song, subscribed.

That was always one of my favorite songs and I can tell you that Paris comes after London. Yes, I was madly in love with a man who moved like that and I did live with him in LA for maybe 5 years, but he went to London and then invited me to work at his restaurant in Paris, but I went home.

Love David's voice and this song. He just drifted away after this great song.

Wow Harri! SO pleased you've reacted to this - I suggested it back when you were first encountering Marty Robbins and Jim Croce and it was clear you truly appreciated a good story or the clever expression of complex or mismatched relationships. There were three songs that were hardly ever played on UK daytime radio but made a mega impact on me on just one hearing on Country Club or the John Peel show in the 1970s. This Dave Loggins song was one; the other two were Jim Croce's 'Lovers Cross' and Dolly Parton's 'Down from Dover'. So I think you'd really like to hear those too! On another tack, as a massive UK hit you probably know, but one of the 'cleverest' songs ever written, and beaurfully performed, must surely be Peter Sarstedt's 'Where do you go to my lovely'. Up there with 'El Paso' for stunning with sheer genius IMO.

Yeah, as joel65913 says, when this song was written, a LOT of guys were drifters, hitchhiking around the country, never really settling down. The girl in this song was smart enough to know that and to tell him, "No, I'm not traipsing around all over the country. I am your #1 fan, but I'm staying right here, waiting for that bug you got up your butt to get tired of traveling, so you'll come home to where you belong". James Taylor called it the "Highway Song", and when you hear that highway singing to you, you know it's time to leave. Nobody's gonna win with a person like that until they get it out of their system.

Being a Navy wife is just as hard. My husband was a former submariner. Having him leave for 3-6 months at a time was hard. I never knew where he was because it was classified

Use to hear this on the radio, then I heard David Allan Coe's version, I've never listened to this version since.

This song is one of my go-to karaoke songs and coincidently, I used to live in Denver, Boston and now Tennessee for the last 20 years.

i used to have the 45rpm record when it first came out

That song always touched my heart

David Allen Coe has a great cover of this track. Funny they're both Daves.

Dave couldn't get no one to sing his songs so he made this album, mostly he is noted as a song writer. I imagine if he tried to get this lady for that many years he moved back to Tennessee.

Hari, when you finally watch it and break down , don't say I did not warn you. The ENTIRE ALBUM will put you in a place you have never been.

This could be my song.. But mine began in New York and ended in San Francisco. We were both in our twenties. I never went back. I never went back and I lost the love of my life. I was to blame, no one else. I am now 78 years old. I never saw her again. She just had enough of my rambling. I found out she passed away last year. I wasted it all for an impossible dream.

"The woman always wins" is rather short-sighted. There is no way she can win. He's moving from one place to another to the next place. A woman can't live like that, not if she wants to have children. She knows if she joins him, where ever he is, he will leave her. He can't be happy in one place, she needs stability. She loses. More appropriate to say "the woman is always right". Because we are, you know. I had to make the same choice, long ago.

Oh, I've loved this song for so many years! It always spoke to me. The restless artist who wants to travel and see the country, and his love, who is thoroughly grounded in her home state of Tennessee. Maybe she's in a cabin on the hillside, same plot of land that her daddy, granddaddy and great-grandaddy farmed. She's got a milk cow, a couple of goats, a few chickens, and a sweet well. She takes granny to preachin' every Sunday, and she has NO plans of going ANYWHERE. It just made me want to weep, "WHY won't you just go on home to that girl?!" But he probably never did, for he was seeking fame and fortune. Pretty soon, she gave up, married Buford Skaggs, had a passle of young'uns, and never looked back. One day, he came back though, and stood there at her door all mournful-eyed. She wiped her floury hands on her apron and said, "What's ailin' you?! You got what you wanted, didn't you?" Then Buford came out with the shotgun, and that's the end of the story.
