Eddie Money - I Wanna Go Back 

I agree.

Simple times

aint going to happen hurry and do you before you die. 68 guy 80s rule

Me too. They were the best time in my life. I am 62 now and I ask myself every day where did the time go

I miss aspects of my life as a kid back in those days

You and me both my brother. They were great times the best. 55 fuckin sucks.

Amen, absolutely

Drop me off in the 70's and let me catch up with you. I graduated H.S. in 77..... Do the math.....

@@aubreytucker654 you are 64

Oh, my gosh, me too.

@buttercookie we were in the best days of our lives.. I'm glad we had them :))

@@lisaking9854 100% agreed

trudat!

I heard that

BINGO! I wanna go back to the 80s! When life was simpler and people d cared. It's sad to live here in the world today I n 2021

80s kid here. I'll be 50 in July. We're lucky that we grew up when we did.

We were all blessed. Looking back, it's been great yet sad at times for what is now

80s kid right here. His music meant so much to me. Especially in those times....

Sooo true !!!

I was maybe 14 when this came out. How little did I know how hard those lyrics would hit 39 years later.

From one 52 year old to another, I feel you man.

55 and I wish I could go back. Best decade best time of my life. If I could go back I'd never leave.

51 and yeah! Been feeling it a lot lately.

Same

Come on GenX Brothers and Sisters, we’re going back. You have to believe it…😎

I cant stop crying 😢

Me too!😭

It’s true. Aside from maybe the 50s, we were blessed with the best era to grow up in.

@@PeopleRTellingme I absolutely agree!

I feel so fortunate to have turned 13 in 1980. Got the full 80s experience.

I feel you! lost my Mom & Dad over 20 years ago seems like yesterday .

I'm so sorry

God bless him ... he's in a better place remember that 💕

❤

Lost my dad 12 years ago. I know what you’re saying. The pain never goes away. Might get numb after many years but something will pop up and you feel it again.

he was great when i was kid back in the 1980s good times i will be 40 this year this brings back memories

Oh same here it does bring tears up, the energy is just as strong now as it was back then when we was kids all thru the 80’s. At 3:09 when Eddie turns to the crowd hey I still got it❤

Exactly. Love telling my kids what it was like back then.

I agree

I was on my 20's love Eddie Money songs. It was a great time, when music lyrics really meant something

Now that he’s gone I miss his voice!!! I never thought I would… He left us his songs with his distinctive voice… ❤

Aww to bad

They truly are BITTERSWEET aren't they ??? 😥👍😊

I saw Eddie Money at the Sanger Theater on Canal St in New Orleans for the No Control tour.

It’s so true. It was a different time. There was more connection & people had more time for each other.

I agree

There were infact computers and cellphones in the 80s. Especially computers.

I'm with you.

Me to. The 21st just sucks ..

I wanna go back. It was easier back then. People were happier.

I feel the same way. Please just take me back to the 80s

Feel the same!!! Perhaps building an 80’s town without today’s technology that has killed our kids… 😢😢😢

Best of times by far. I miss em badly

Nothing will beat the 80's if you were young and just driving around too music with a girl attached to your hip, god I miss those days.

I had a great 80s

Same❤

We were lucky!!! Imagine today eventually being -- the good old days?!?

I’ve been feeling like that for many years now.

Well put!

So true.

You can go back with those who feel what it was & what it is using what Eddie provided.... JCS Premium Basin Tx...

I did the same thing in high school. #Classof88

Just as appropriate is his tune, peace in our time...listen and smile.... I wanna go back..too

Todd Stein 3

James Faulkner thanks

Man, how true :( Such a sad day.

Yes exactly!!!! I think his best song

Me too. Thank You for the music Eddie. Rest In Peace.

I was born 20 years later in 1981 and I remember being a kid and jamming to Take Me Home Tonight..Definately a star to multiple generations :( RIP

R.I.P EDDIE. Your music was a part of the soundtrack of my growing up also.Two tickets to Paradise was my ex wife's and I ...first all the way song.lol Thank You for your music you left us with brother.I was just listening to I wanna go back..it is spot on of how I feel sometimes about my youth.Enjoy Paradice Eddie.🌴♥️🌟

He was my first concert at 16- in 1987. Love this man. Heartbroken today. 😞

Paradise

ME TOO! Kind of...

Yes...Social media has ruined the world

I wanna go back to smoke signals and snail mail...😭😭

I don't social media has helped me get to know more people

@@BAKER22-l4u comments on youtube videos are the worst

Me too. Water works every time. ❤

Might have done a few things different but would love to go back

@@tammylampp808 I would have done a LOT different! Where is Quantum Leap when you need it?

@Remo Williams . Same here. Would jump in a time machine right now if I could ( retaining my memory).

Me too, love the guy. 🌴🌴

I hear you Amal but as long as it is still alive in us ,has it truly gone?

@@nikkibox true. Thankfully we can pass it on to our kids. Let them know what real music was.

@@amalberry2090 May I ask what year were you? If not then ,ok.

I was an 80s kid and it’s MOST TRUE

YES WE DID

And Freddie Mercury

@@lynneufeld3175 Cant argue with that 🙏

Man, death of my childhood when Eddie Van Halen passed away.

Amen ...

Me too!!

and none of us are calling him an old man, lol

Everyone else thinks this song is about the 80s. But we know it's about when anybody was a teenager in any decade. One guy said I was so wrong. But I said Eddie Money was not a teenager in the 80s. No answer on that.

​@kimbergeron9720 I agree with you. Eddie was about 37 when he did this song so I highly doubt it was about a specific era and if any probably the 60s 70s but I think it was probably more about any Era for any teenager. He also did not write the song.

And ironically, this song is timeless

​@@kimbergeron9720Anytime

He lost his battle with cancer --- but he won our hearts with his music :-)

@@billbelzek6748 - You got that right!

he started in the 70's

Absolutely! Eddie Money songs are a part of my childhood back in the 1980s.

❤❤❤

Hell yeah

Sure does for me!

I couldn’t have said it any better. I miss the 80s so much it hurts.

Couldn't agree more. Some classic 80's songs put a deep/sad nostalgic feeling in my stomach. I just want to go back there so bad!!!!

Me too !!

Sorry to say, you look younger then your age. What time do you wanna go back to?😉

@@scottrichard5792 take it easy creeper

We seem to have arrived in our sixties faster than we anticipated

Turn 51 in August.. want to go back

We March forward always

100%

Absolutely

So right!

He truly did . Those were the days

Damn straight the money man was and always will be one of the best period.

RIP Eddie

Without a doubttt

Right ❤🙏😁🖖🕊🌍

Well said.

RIP Eddie 🙏🏻

Extremely well said my friend.

R.I.P Eddie. May the Lord take you into his arms and grant you eternal peace

Very well said! 👍❤️

Yesterday?

That was very nice

Me too

Comment makes me cry, I wish I could go back and see my dad again he passed in 96, RIP Eddie

I saw Eddie at Panama City Beach ,on the beach, at a place called Spinnakers. He was so good. Rip Eddie! You are an icon of excellence.

Me too 🎉 I can still where I was when I heard this song for the first time ❤

Me 3

Yep, he made the best music

Great music always lives on!

@@sabrinatanner9735 isn’t that the truth!

😢

Every day i say it....friends and good times...miss em

The 40 year olds in the 80’s were saying how they want to go back to the 50’s and 60’s. Instead why not make this time even better. Go out and make some memories.

@@alwaysmiserable .... Wow,,, I am truly sorry for the abuse you endured, however the longer you hold on to it, wherever he is he is still winning. I pray you can heal in your very soul from it all. You can make the change and surrender it over to Almighty God, rebuking that generational curse in Jesus Christ Powerful Name. Almighty God is thee only one who can heal you, if you allow HIM. Never wish eternal hell on anyone, you will live your life in regret, rather pray that in your dads last days which I’m sure he knew and regretted being a pos,,, that he asked forgiveness of God. You see when someone treats others so horribly you have to step back and realize they treated you the same way they were treated as a child. That’s why I said God gives us power and authority to break and rebuke those generational curses. You are nothing like your father was right? No matter what, you can change the course of your life and become who you were created to be, you are NOT a product of your father or mother, God made you and every human being uniquely different. My prayer is for your soul to heal. Amen. 🕊🙏🏽🕊

God bless Eddie Money RIP I love this video! This song is dedicated to everyone who lost a loved one. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JSbGGiSe3S8.html

60s n 70s Rocked more 80s blah not very good

Not just that, but music stinks these days!

Time slips by like water through your hands in a cool running stream - it feels good, but you do not know where it came from nor where it is going. That is the point - teach your kids to love the cool running stream.

Yes, but even so, it will never be as magical as what we had in the 80’s..the music, movies, arcades, freedom, cheap gas, fast cars, cruising, the malls, the fashion, decor, style..there will never be anything that compares. There may be another amazing decade, and I hope I’m able to enjoy it, but it hasn’t come yet.

I do the same Vito, I always tell my son to look around and enjoy these moments because they are truly great days.

​@@greywolferhmbeautiful very true

I was thinking the same thing listening. Getting old is pretty strange.

@@SouthernSkeptic if we weren't old we would have missed so much.

NFL is rigged You are my brother from another mother. Huge KISS fan and love Eddie Money and know the NFL is rigged 👊🏻

@@dpc374 I cant call myself a huge Eddie Money but I did like a lot of his songs. The NFL is definitely rigged though.

@@SouthernSkeptic Give me some water was his best song

I just want to buy two tickets to paradise while taking me home tonight. RIP to a great rocker.

I saw The Who at Fenway Park last night. I was at a meet and greet buffet and open bar with the band and I thought it was pretty cool when after the DJ played all Who songs for an hour and a half or so, he then played I Wanna Go Back from the late, great Eddie Money. It was a nice tribute. As I'm approaching 54 years old...... I wanna go back. Wow - those high school days.....absolutely amazing times back in the early 80's.

We had the best decade to grow up in... Wish we knew it

Indeed!!! I turned 54 yesterday and the music from our generation is legendary! I wanna go back....................

Agree! I’m 52 and damn I miss the music and the simple life back then! I to wanna go back!

54 here same thoughts

I'm 64 and it hit me today, when a friend posted a photo of the beach where I spent a ton of time my entire life, until our friends who lived there died in the past year. I immediately thought of this song, played it, and started crying like a baby.

I’m 46 and even when this song was new, I somehow felt like understood what Ed was conveying. Of course now it’s very real. I tend to think humanity peaked somewhere around 1986 😂.

To Eddie Money's family, I am so sorry for your loss. Eddie was a music icon. I enjoyed his music on 8 track tapes. R.i.p. music Man. R.wagner, Belgrade my.

He was an amazing artist. RIP

How sweet!;!!!

That's an awesome story!

Wow--what a great memory to have!

Suzanne and I's song became "Stuck With You" from Huey Lewis & The News because we shared the love for his music.

You sure do have a sweet memories on Eddie ❤️

RIP Eddie. Thanks for the songs and the memories

What a sweet comment

I don't want to *ever* go back to this terrible decade. Everything in the world is so much better now.

@@scottlarson1548 Really?How is it better now?

@@TheSportsfan35 No civil wars, no Cold War, we have *fewer* nuclear weapons, much less unemployment, inflation is barely a factor, toxic waste is much more regulated (remember Love Canal?), the Middle East is much more peaceful (remember Lebanon?), there is less overt racism and sexism, gays are not being assaulted in public now, people around the world are more connected than ever (no Iron Curtain), we have much better understanding of how our planet and universe works, and despite health care costing ten times as much our life expectancy has gone up five years. It's a *much* better time to be alive.

@@scottlarson1548 Nope, Still not better.

@@bobg7179 Awww, what do ya miss? The Cold War? The unemployment?

❤ this!

Reading this just made me love Eddie more than I already did. I've heard countless stories about how good of a guy he was. I miss him a lot! I miss my 70s, 80s/early 90s more than I probably should. Makes me tear up a lot thinking about them.

I sing on the SMULE APP..I GOT A SPECIAL INVITE TO SING THIS WITH ANOTHER SMULER IN A DUET...SO I'M JUST MOW LEARNING THIS ONE ..HES A GREAT SINGER ..ALWAYS HAS BEEN.🤩

God Bless Eddie Money

😢

Amen

So sad today --- Eddie provided so many great songs for my 80's teen years --- I miss him and those good times

I know right? The artists are dropping like flies. Some even in their 50's. Wth?

I agree, I was 17 when No Control came out, many of cruisin nights to that cassette!

*You can get older without getting OLD*

Yes I didnt know time would fly by so fast seems like a dream

My youth went by slowly,older age is going by faster.

sad but happy knowing that it happened and can relate 👉👍🤘

Way too fast. I wanna go back!

We never realize how precious those times are of our youth. We didn't treasure them, like everyone. We have sweet memories, but if I'd just known how much those times truly meant, I would've stepped back, took a breath and savored it all. If I could only go back...

If I could go back, I know what to correct!

@@CatholicTraditionalI’m afraid to even ask lmao

Amen!!!

You are absolutely right! I was born in 1963 and OMG how I wish I could go back to my childhood and teen years they were without a doubt the happiest time of my life thanks to my wonderful family I was truly blessed! Love to you and yours!!

Yeah the 80s

So true....

Yes how true

Sad but true...

You are 100% correct...Time flies the older you get,and more regrets you accumilate

@@kelledickman3038 A Z! I wanna go back

Absolutely agree!

Wanna go back and find that one I let go

I have always felt that way; and when the song came out, I was 16. This is a very deep song for Eddie Money.

Gen X, we did it big. Didn't We?

God bless Eddie Money RIP I love this video! This song is dedicated to everyone who lost a loved one. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JSbGGiSe3S8.html

Indeed he was.

Amen, saw Eddie in 09...I Wana go back. Rip Brother

I wanna go back 🥺

Yeah , would love to go back better music, and people were nicer and caring.

But I think when Eddie made this song, they were talking about the 50s or 60s. It's strange to think about.

I'm in . Let's go back to the 80s my friend. God I miss them so much.

Raises hand ✋️

You did the same things mostfolks did.

Amen me too

@@bobbydale1938 Yes Ginger as well, but when I posted this, Ginger was still alive...Over 2 years we lost the great Tom Petty, who I did meet, he was so nice.I cry for Tom, he was a true legend and a nice man. A song writing genius.

@@ratter531 I was devastated when I heard about Tom Petty. His music inspired me..😢

I miss REAL music like this!

Well said. Hope our kids feel the same way...

if u could give up your life now and go back and live your life in the 80s again would u do it?

If you're in your 40's you couldn't have been a teenager in the 80's

Couldn’t have said it better myself. I’m 41.

@@scottbutler9005 was born in 1972 i beg to differ lol

I'm 40 and I love this song

Same here!! 😢😢

this song has so much meaning.. i bet eddie the $$ man would love to GO BACK NOW and do it all over again hmm

Yeah, I loved this song as a kid. Now that I'm middle aged, I have a much greater appreciation of the song. This song about growing older is probably one of the best I've ever heard about the subject. It captures the process perfectly. RIP Eddie.

I was fortunate enough to be front roll center at his no control tour back in about 1987. Memories fade. Wasn’t old enough to drink but still got slammed. There was joint after joint being passed I told the old man at the time he probably was 40 lol. He should be ashamed does his kids know about this. He laughed and pointed to his son partying with us

+Donnie Lloyd The 70's and 80's were the best time to be a kid. If I had only known how lousy things would become, I would have certainly appreciated it more :(

I agree. Same here.

agreed 100%!

+Donnie Lloyd Same here! Feb 1970 birthday. The 70s and 80s as a kid were amazing... I miss them so much.

+Desstrik - It was awesome !!

Good song for movie soundtrack

How true

Sad

That last sentence is so true

Amen to that. I was a teen too in the 80s and definitely would love to go back to this time!!! Just turned 49 and didn't want to even celebrate my birthday bc I just feel so down at this phase in my life. What I wouldn't do to go back again!!!

I'm with you my brother once a cop now I'm a Rockstar who's better than that? Rest in peace Eddie you were my teenage years

Even the cars lead singer Ric Ocasek passed away to.

I MISS ALL OF THESE GREAT ROCK SINGERS AND BANDS!!!!!!! I WANNA GO BACK!!!!👱💗🎧🎤🎷🎵

So So True.. I wanna go back 😢

So so true. I’m also 49 & I feel the same way. Please someone take me back to the 80s

Back to the great Reagan era. Man those were good days.

Did they use his name for Steve Gutenberg character in police academy?

You got that right, jam.

Jaime de Sevilla I thought he was injured (I think shot) on the job, which was why he left law enforcement.. I could be wrong, but hey, he ruled at music! Lol 😎

He never actually became a cop, he just was a typist with the NYPD and planned on joining, but luckily his music took off first.

jam cam seen. Eddie Money the other night at the CA. State fair ..FREE. awesome .took me back big time

yeah how can we forget the 80s

I had a chance to see him in the 90s and some stupid insecurities got in my way and unfortunately, never got to see him b4 he died.

Absolutely. He was one of my favorites also truly miss him.😢

You're right...

He went back to paradise.

All I ever do is dream imagine if you could go back would you?

@@jamescarey2367 do you really have to ask

@@jamescarey2367 no I wouldn’t the future we have in Christ is greater then anything we’ve ever had in this life “No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭3:13-14‬ ‭ ““Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭43:18-19‬

Tis true!

Spandeau Ballet 80s sax music too...

Truth!!!!

It is still there in your heart, soul and mind-lets's pay it forward!

Music gave us feeling that was so real . Miss generation x.

I want to go back to the 70s but I love 80s hits

You’re damn right the 80s was the best decade. Glad I was born in one of the best decades.

@@catradabaugh I was lucky enough to be a child of both decades. I was a teen from 1976 to 1983.

I'm 57, and these days suck ! America is falling apart !

I do for the memories of the great 80's and there will never be another decade's like the 80's😥

I'll Always cherish the time I met & couple hours spent with him & his daughter Jessie 2014 Fort Wayne. RIP Eddie

I'm dancing now.love it

this music was part of my military time and remembering dancing the whole weekend with the girls. Now 30 years later Eddie is part of Corona Times and we keep on dancing at the weekend
