Cheap Trick - The Flame (Official Video) 

My first wife and I loved this song. She died in my arms in 2021, and hearing it still brings her back. RIP Terri.

To anybody reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind may clarity replace confusion. may peace and calmness fill your life.

Was my song to my Donna in 88 when we got our first apartment as a couple. She passed in 2015 and this for a moment brings her back.

My sons favorite song , I played it for his funeral. Tears explode from the depth of my soul now when I hear it. I cannot thank cheap trick enough for writing such a ballad. For as long as I live this song will forever bring my son and his life back to me…

The most beautiful song ever written. I am a 70’s 80’ still going strong. Can’t get music like this any more❤

In 2024, April... It's not about the era... It's about the enduring lyrics. Always... ❤

2024. This song remains a masterpiece.

Who is still listening to this beautiful song in 2024❤

Feb, 2024... still a great song.

one of the greatest love songs of all time

One of the very last of the great power ballads

Another drummer that was underappreciated his approach was clear and simple

1989 my highschool sweetheart and i went out, this song our song played, we danced ...i was 3 mo pregnant. Car accident on the was home took him from me. My son looks identical to him. I miss him so much, ive never gotten over him and never will. Ill live you forever TAB..till we dance again .

This is one of those songs that makes you think of someone from a long time ago.

35 years later and still touches me like the first time hearing it

I'm 70 yrs old and still listening to my home town band, Cheap Trick! Yea! ♥

The long hair era... One of the best songs ever written.

Who's Still Listening In 2024 ❤

Your son never left you, he's always with you. Remember he's like a Flame. God Bless

I lost my wife, 8 years ago today, I dedicated this song to her r.i.p ,my love 😢.

An Anthem for our souls. Love Cheap Trick.

One of the prettiest love songs ever written

These guys have performed one of the best love songs ever written. There’s hardly a love song out there that just nails it as The Flame does. They sing it with pure passion and pain. I’m hoping my ex wife listens to it.

Absolutely remembering my beautiful lady Rosalie who walked into heaven to be with Jesus 26th February this year will always love you in my heart forever 😢❤🥰☺️🫂

Sooo gorgeous... The 80s - what a wonderful time to LIFE AND LOVE!!! 🔥❤🔥

Why can't music be like this again? Great vocals, great meaning, great presences.

One of the Most Beautiful rock songs ever written - still touches our hearts years later - forever enduring. ❤❤💔❤‍🩹❤

Gonna be 73 yrs old. Still loving this song. 👍

I had a stroke on 2/1/2024. I woke up without use if my whole right side and my speech was garbage. I sing songs like this for my recovery and its helping. I can walk, talj, and use my right arm now, not 100 pct but im getting better.

I'm an 80's kid and this was and still is a wonderful ballad. They really don't make music like this anymore where folks put their heart and soul into the music.

Reading sad comments to this song makes me dropped my tears God bless y'all ❤❤❤

This is likely one of the best songs written ever by musicians. It will last forever as a treasure of the human race…

August 25th 2024 still one of my favorite song.. Whose watching with me😊😊

one of the best ballads of 80's !!!

Robin Zander's voice is a thing of beauty.

Just saw Robin Zander at the Florida Theatre in Jacksonville. At age 71, he still sounds incredible just like the original song!

When I was 5 I cried to this song to my aunt not knowing why I was crying.. I had not lost anyone in my life. But she said I cried with a deep soulful cry every time it was heard. I lost my husband of 21 years in 2020 and this song came on and the emotions I felt as a child came flooding back… I am not sure but I think God was preparing me at that age of the pain I would feel… this song means so much to me.

ONE OF THE BEST SONGS......EVER!!!!

This is Cheap Trick's only #1 Song, and it deserves recognition!❤😢😊

The 80s forever😊

Best Song Ever.

The voice from lead singer is epic. He could sing this song outside no mic, no special effects . Just his raw voice sounds like he is in the studio everytime no matter how or whete he sings it. Great voice!

One of the most beautiful songs ever written!

Such an amazing, powerful ballad. Robin Zander kills it on vocals. Unforgettable. 😎🤙🏾🎶 🎵

I danced to this at my wedding in 1994. He picked the song. Lost him in 2005 to a motorcycle accident. You’ll Always Be The Flame 💔❤️‍🩹

Robin sings to perfection ! The song is beautiful and so is he.

This is my favorite best Cheaptrick song ever. Who else still listening in 2021?

I can listen to this song over and over…”wherever you go, I’ll be with you…” ❤❤❤💯💯🙌🏼

I can’t believe they originally didn’t want to record this song and have it on the album, absolute classic. What a voice

Soy joven de 18 años recién y puedo decir que las músicas de los 80 son únicas y muy bonitas, y puedo asegurar que esta es la verdadera música sana que cura el alma, no como la música basura de la actualidad que da asta asco saludos a toda a esa gente de cultura buena, Grande la banda de Cheap trick❤ fans

January of 2024 and I’m listening again and it’s taking me back to the best decade of my life!

August 2023... Who's still listening to this wonderful song?

This is how I remember my mom Hey mama wherever you are right now I miss you hope to see u soon

Lifelong dream to meet this incredible artist. Have been to 24 CHEAP TRICK concerts over my life and never lucky enough to have met this man. Still hopeful some day!!

0:29 when I listen to this song I cant help but feeling sad. What happend to the world all good people playing for the love of it and not just fame. The stuff they make these days is not Music just noise. ❤

THE FLAME! What a song, lyrically beautiful, musically perfect. The Ultimate Rock Ballad.

Today is May,28th,2024 Anyone? Still listening 🎶.. What a great and beautiful song.

This song gets me through my tough days of life

This song reminds me of what made the 80's great. Back then people believed in love. Nowadays it's pretty much all about lust and one night stands.

This video seriously needs an HD remaster. It's such a fantastic song.

2023 and I still love this band ! A lot of memories come back !

Robin's vocals are killer on this one! Love it.

I think this is definitely one of the many beautiful songs ever written...I still get goosebumps when I hear it come on the radio😍

@Cheap Trick : Once upon a time, rock artists produced quality songs both lyrically and musically. It was a delight to the ears of every rock music lover. You could listen to it endlessly. It had a special impact for many. "The Flame..." released in 1988 and still popular in 2023...! The sixties, seventies, eighties... great times... or in other words, heydays for rock music...! Thank you Bob MITCHELL and Nick GRAHAM for this heartwarming power ballad...! "Cheap Trick..." pure youth sentiment...! Beautiful memories of this band. Greetings from Belgium (Europe) and Florida (USA).

Robin's voice is so beautiful. He really brings out a lot of emotions when he sings.

Saw these guys in Denver 9 days ago. They still sound awesome! The Flame acoustic and vocals were incredible! So cool

Who else is going through their favorite jams thinking about life back in the days? Please tell me I'm not the only one🖐🏼✌🏼️

My dad showed me this as a kid. Heard it thru the years many times and always loved it. Had no idea at 25 years old, it would hit like a dagger

This song makes me cry everytime I hear it. My ex was my best friend and he used to sing this song to me even after we broke up. He has passed now. Taken too young because of his choices in life. This song is so beautiful and so very special to me, forever. I hear it and I hear him singing it to me again.

Love this song. Love the 80’s can’t get music like this anymore. Music today sucks…

Dieses Lied weckt so viele Erinnerungen,das Anhören fühlt sich an wie nach Hause kommen.Zum Weinen schön!!!🌿🕊

The irony of how dangerous a flame could be 😉! Hairstyles aside, great flash back song! Well played, well played indeed!👂👍 Legendary memories! Thank you!

1980's. There was never a better time to be a teenager. 👌

Come on what a voice. How can I not listen to this everyday! Pure Joy.

CHEAP TRICK ROCKS IN 2024.🎸🇺🇸

The Flame always burns. Always Saw them with ZZtop in Clarkston. Never forget

1988 was a phenomenal year for music!

I loved them in the 80s and I'm seeing them tonite at rogers centre in Toronto along with Def Leppard and Journey 2024 summer tour so pumped

Wow, didn't realize that this song was so long ago in 1988. It is a beautiful song, but so sad, yet so powerful. I hadn't heard it for years but then it played on a station recently and this song has been stuck in my head.

Also one of my all time favorites…they are so underrated. Their live vocals are amazing and I see them every opportunity I get

They have a huge catalog worth pilfering. Not only are these guys good but they worked really hard and produced lots of art.

I was born in the 60's great tunes and still listening. July 26 2024

Another night slowly closes in And I feel so lonely Touching heat freezing on my skin I pretend you still hold me I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you I can't believe you're gone You were the first, you'll be the last Wherever you go, I'll be with you Whatever you want, I'll give it to you Whenever you need someone To lay your heart and head upon Remember, after the fire, after all the rain I will be the flame I will be the flame Watching shadows move across the wall I feel so frightened I wanna run to you, I wanna call But I've been hit by lightning Just can't stand up for fallin' apart Can't see through this veil across my heart, over you You'll always be the one You were the first, you'll be the last Wherever you go, I'll be with you Whatever you want, I'll give it to you Whenever you need someone To lay your heart and head upon Remember, after the fire, after all the rain I will be the flame I will be the flame I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you You'll always be the one You were the first, you'll be the last Wherever you go, I'll be with you Whatever you want, I'll give it to you Whenever you need someone To lay your heart and head upon Remember, after the fire, after all the rain I will be the flame I will be the flame Whatever you want, I'll give it to you Wherever you go, I'll be with you And whatever you want, I'll give it to you

Since I was a kid , I always listened thins song..and now I am 25yo. and still listening this song.. who's with me here ?❤

This is Cheap Trick at their best !,,,Robin sings a First class Power Ballad....Have known these guys from their first humble beginnings.

This song is a piece of ART...

Lost my wife before Christmas this was our song

My wife and I traveling back from Ft Rucker Alabama after an aviation course I attended there. North Georgia, we’re listening to a DJ doing the top ten worst rock loves songs. He gets to number one and announces… “The number one worst rock love ballad, The Flame by Cheap Trick.” My wife and and I look at each other. F, him. lol It was our sing and we loved it.

# 1 this week in 1988-Fantastic song!

September,2023 this music still rocks . Amazing vocals.

This was my wife & i's first dance, july 1997. We're still together & this song still brings tears to my eyes.

Genius songwriter

I'm so glad we have video of these great groups its the only way to go back and remember what a great and simple time we had and old friends we've lost along the way 😪

I finished building my time machine. Who would like to go back to the 80's and 90's with me?🙃

I love this song

Can't wait to see these legends next Sat Vancouver baby.....

January 2021, I'm still listening and still loving this song. Reminds me of someone.

I know this son is a love jam. I Remember my old man screaming this son to us his sons and telling us were his firsts and last 😢

Definitely an 80’s and all time favorite !
