I'm never forget the first day this song came on the radio!! I was in a Terragator fertilizer spreader loadin the ground with all the good stuff in a 3400 acre feild and I called my wife and told her I have to have this song!! To play over n over!! And low n Behold she went and bought me this Cd and brought it over 47 miles away from home bless her heart and she loaded up in the cab with me and we spread over 500 acres together just listening to this Cd! And having a sammich! Together ❤❤ I hope you had a fine mothers day today in heaven sweet darlin!! Long live Blackhawk!!!👍miss you baby! 15 years later!👍😉
I hear ya! This is a memory of playing NES with the sound off, while Mom listened to Black Hawk and cleaned the house. The only moment I got the TV. Cheers to that 25 years later.
1994!! Best Blackhawk song! I heard this song today, probably haven't heard it since it was out and on the radio in the 90s but I remembered every word. I was crazy about Blackhawk when I was in jr high in the 90s! I sent it to my mom today after I heard it because she loved it too when it was released. Not only is the music gorgeous but the song is so well written.
I was in my 30's for all the 90's and this era, by far, was my favorite for country music. Here it is June 2022 and I'm still listening. It's timeless, much like outlaw country that I love too. The harmonies were unbelievable in the 90's. Diamond Rio, Blackhawk, Little Texas....so many more.
She still says I love you if I ask her, but she never volunteers. This line is so heartbreaking. It sucks to be in relationship that is neither good or bad.
@@senseijuan3230 true...its difficult overall. So far, ive been riding it out and it has its ups and downs. Nothing to tell me i should walk but yet sometimes i have felt a little neglected because the relationship has gotten stale in some aspects...like i feel like its goin no where but not goin backwards either.
So she should win Oscar if she's lying when she says that nothing has changed... everyday I brace myself to hear the words I'm scared she's going to say and every night I think the Lord somehow I dodged the bullet one more day... Song is just absolutely lyrical treasure... is so simple and yet so profound... I could keep writing every line from the song ...it's just absolutely incredible.. think this song and let it wherl... postmarked Birmingham... I better stop now lol
Maybe the best story of this song, is that the song writer, John Jarrard, was blind. That is what gives me chills about "I can't see the storm clouds...."
Oh yeah. The 90's were a golden time for a lot of us. SO many great bands on tour, and I saw as many of em as possible! Plus, the music scene in the bars was hoppin like mad, too.
Black Hawk has been a great group since day 1! In a relationship when the other person doesn't want to talk to you or just ignores you it makes you wonder why because you haven't done anything to them to make them act like this toward you but some people bring in problems that concerns other situations! May God continue to bless 🙏 you All and your families!!!
All the comments reminiscing are great but you guys know this band is still active right? They still tour & are playing tonight 6/16/22 in Wise Virginia. Start attending concerts & buying their music and maybe you’d hear them back on the radio.
After 14yrs of marriage this song hit home. I tried and done everything but After to many lies and so many times cheating. I had to let her go the last thing I wanted. God it hurts.
Love the use of the snare to produce the F# tone mixed in with the mandolin to give the chords a little added tension to set the mood. Play an E major chord and add an F#. It’s like a 9th chord without actually playing a 9th chord. Of course, the F# is mixed with the other chord progressions as well, but doesn’t have the same effect as it does on the one. Given that it’s a slower half time groove, it really has time to linger and set the mood. Tip o’ the hat to the producer for that gem. I was a huge Blackhawk fan in the 90’s. Great band to warm up the vocals on when you’re on your way to a gig.
My Best Buddy has a friend that would sit in as drummer for them when in Tampa. If l recall. I took them on a boat ride to Shepard's Landing, where we waded ashore to order food for the gang. Phil, Erik and I waited for the order, Erik struck up a conversation with the resting band, and asked if he could solo while they rested. That was nice. Got the food, waded to the boat and his GF asked was that you on the drums? I guess she hears a lot of practice sessions.
Love the slow meandering wrap up on this song. When they play it live, it's almost jam band status the way the instrumental just rolls on till the end. Except unlike jam band, it sounds great. 🇺🇸
I remember driving around the back dirt roads of Hidalgo county Texas in high school jamming this song thinking about what my future would hold. This song shaped my young mind.
When you're good you can pull anything off and make it work. To sport the Mullet and leather vest all the confidence in the world will be necessary. If there is the slightest insecurity forget it you will look like joe dirt And one hell of a singing voice and a good songwriter.
“I can’t see a single storm cloud in the sky, but I sure can smell the rain.” That line hits so hard. Sometimes you can’t see something coming, but you still get that feeling.
I can't see a single storm cloud in the sky but I sure can smell the rain...that is how I feel at this moment in time in my journey in life. People have created it for no reason at all. Sometimes it is ok to smell the rain at times but not when people walk away from you and have created the biggest mess for you to clean up ! And it really was not yours to clean up in the first place! It does not matter it is still one of my favorite songs.
I get what you mean about people making up problems that aren't even real. We can only go by what people do and not just what they say. They can try to paint a sunny picture about themselves when inside of them it is thunder and lightning waiting to strike. They can't hide the smell of the rain when actions speak louder than words.
Us Pacific northwesterners start thinking about this song's title come the tail end of the year. I also find it weird knowing that Henry Paul is in his forties in this video, but he looks like he's in his twenties.
The 1:38 mark is my most favorite moment of this video. To me, the lead of this awesome act couldn't look anymore stone-cold hot right there! (fire truck red faced) God bless him and the other remaining member always!!! Holly in East Tennessee
All three were very good looking men! I saw them in concert back when this album was out. Even better looking in person! Miss this kind of music so much!
@@angiehatfield7935 Blackhawk is still a band. Their guitarist, Van Stephenson died in 2001, and Van's wish for Henry and Dave was to keep Blackhawk going. So Henry Paul and Dave Robbins are keeping the band going.
I was fortunate to be in a cover band in the 90's and the music was absolutely the best from these guys to all the other artists we covered. We still gig and still play our 90's music cause we feel there are still people that miss hearing the songs😎
Oh my gosh! He was wearing a black. ..my hubby called them wife beaters, I hate that term....but that just brought me waaay back! My hubby used to wear them all the time! That was his shirt! And he looked really good in them just like this guy on the end! 😭😭😭 miss you John Laidley! 😭😭😭
I miss the 80s and 90s country music that was the best time for country music it had meaning behind the song I LOVE blackhawk they are a very good group
My all time favorite band in any type of music. I've seen them in concert several times since they came out in 1994. Awesome live shows and great guys to boot. I've met them a few times at shows and at a fundraiser dinner. Very genuine and talented.
first time ive heard this song i was about 16 years old... fell right down in love with it right then and there... couldnt hear it enough!! couldnt wait for the radio station to play it again... that was 1994... before we had a computer and internet wasnt anything like it is today.. so had to resort to what we had....
She hasn't done a thing That really has to mean she's going anywhere I haven't seen it showing in her eyes But I swear it must be there I don't know why I feel it so strong But I feel it just the same I can't see a single storm cloud in the sky But I sure can smell the rain She'd still say 'I love you' if I ask But she never volunteers Somehow what she never says Means more than all the other words I hear Still she should win an Oscar If she's lying when she says that nothing's changed I can't see a single storm cloud in the sky But I sure can smell the rain Every day I brace myself To hear the words I'm scared she's gonna say And every night I thank the Lord Somehow I dodged a bullet one more day Sometimes there are things a man just knows That he really can't explain I can't see a single storm cloud in the sky But I sure can smell the rain I can't see a single storm cloud in the sky But I sure can smell the rain
