Absolutely the perfect song for the perfect breakup. I've sang along to this, I've cried along to this, and in 20 more years ill still be rocking along to this. A timeless masterpiece for sure. Poison did the damn thing with this one.
The problem with playing these kinds of songs is that whenever I turn up the volume, my middle-aged Dad stands outside my door and belts out the lyrics.
My ex wife asked me to sing to her last night. It's was super late and I live in a house full of veterans who like myself are trying to get lives out back together.
I resisted at first because it was so late and I didn't want to disturb anyone. I have one of those voices that doesn't sound so well unless I'm really into it and loud.
I've always loved this song and I used to be able to play the entire thing in the guitar, rhythm and solos. It's got a lot of memories for me but not much of a history with my ex wife (I hate calling her that). We've been apart for a few years now and only just started talking again, so I'm finding our a lot about how she took the divorce by the kind of songs she's into now.
Anyway I sing her the whole thing I've the phone, and when it was over I could hear her snoring on the other end of the line. I fucking cried my eyes out. She used to do that when I sang to her after making love and man that song was just perfect for the situation and the way out divorce went.
This is the perfect song to listen to when you're laying in bed, in the dark, you're not nessacarily tired, but you really don't want to do anything because you would rather think about the things that are making you feel kind of down.
Absolutely nothing wrong with this music! Music from the 70's-80's had heart. It came from the depths of their souls. It had real meaning and meant something to those of us that grew up on this. We hear a song and instantly remember what we were doing the first time we heard the song. My kids and I listen to it all the time. We have 'songfests' in my truck driving down the road. Groups today, cant compete with the groups of yesterday...
This is one of those songs that sound better through the speakers of an 80’s muscle car. Just cruising with the windows down. With nowhere to be but in that moment.
