I used to sing this song at the top of my lungs when I was a teenager. It drove my father crazy and he would pound on the wall to get me to shut up. I met Gino in Canada and he was so nice and humble. Everything I hoped he would be. A true Idol of mine.
Real lyrics, real musicianship, real emotion, real human voice, something that is seriously missing from modern music. This track is absolute musical perfection.
REAL music (still being created these days by unknown niche artists - similar caliber to Gino) has no slightest chance to be heard and recognized by the wider audiences. People don't want listening to music that requires a little bit more intellect and emotional maturity to absorb and process. They don't know what to listen for. They lack basic education in all areas of humanism. They don't recognize (and value as a result) any true musical elements : harmony, melody, meaningful lyrics, artistry etc. They prefer vulgar nothingness instead. End of the strory.
Gino is one of my all time favorites. He did music that HE liked vs conforming to what producers wanted. This severely limited his commercial success as his music was hard to categorize. Pop? Soul? Jazz? Yes, yes and yes. Well done Gino, your music was unique and touched my soul.
Then keep checking the older stuff out. You won't be wasting your time, and you'll be amazed with all you discover...or "missed out" on. I was lucky to have discovered music as well as grow up during the 1980's. Those were ages 13 thru 21 basically. The music and those great, great artists and those amazing songs never left my soul...or my record, tape, & cd collection. I listen to a lot of that music on a daily basis. I never realized I was lucky until many, many years later...especially now...when I hear and see all the garbage kids today are being suffocated with. You've been so starved of quality, meaning, and depth for so long. Little by little you're beginning to realize it. So, I'm thankful to the various social media platforms that are utilizing the older music, especially in advertising, movies, and TV. It really makes me feel good to see younger generations just now discovering all this great music from the not-so-distant past. So, keep it up. Keep looking into all these different singers, songwriters, and musicians... back when bands wrote great songs and played real instruments...songs had melodies, meaning, and depth. It's the type of thing that stays with you in your soul for the rest of your life, and is never forgotten.
I can't explain why, I have loved Mr. Vannelli music ever since the 70's and this song stills brings tears to my eyes. He sings with such feeling that one feels the sadness, the longing, the loneliness of being lost living with all that love that becomes such a heavy load that drags your heart, your soul to such hurtful sorrow...
It is sad they can't make music like this today his voice so rich. And clear this song reminds me about someone I let slip away since then I had an emptyness and possible for the rest of my life unless she comes back.
Yes, I get chills too…..incredible from head to toe!! Just goes to show his genius is a brilliant combo of head and heart ….pure, honest and very skilled musicianship. What a composition, what a beautiful person, what talent…
I remember this song being on Soul Train in '81. Few, very few, White singers ever were. Beautiful arrangement, instrumentation, backing singers and, of course, Gino's voice.
Linda !!! Pena que hoje em dia parece que o amor, o sentimento , a emoção, imaginação , acabou. Triste! Agradeço a Deus por ter crescido ouvindo BOAS MÚSICAS!!!!!! AMO!!! Viva os anos 70, 80, 90.
Devemos gostar de tudo que é bom , nossa vida é feita de momentos e as lembranças que fica conosco . Infelizmente oque passou passou só resta lembras os momentos bons . A vida é um ciclo existe pessoas que nesse tempo estava conosco hj não estão mas .
Ain't that the truth!!!!! Dearly missing the great music that once was, when everyone had their own sound. Now it has to fit the "cookie cutter" mode where everyone sounds the same.
Absolutely love this song and wonderful memories on campus during the 80'/90's. When music was music and each word of songs had meaning. Miss those days dearly. Love❤❤❤❤❤
As a a teeny bopper til early teenage adult years, late 70's to mid 80's Gino V's music lingered into my mind and soul brings beautiful visions to my imagination. The lyrics goes deeply in your heart expressing innermost haunting feelings..his voice hmm one of my favorite and crush..So to speak years later I married a Humanitarian Writer Canadian Irish guy it's only then I found out Gino V's an Italian Canadian his artist. Wow!!!
This came out when I was 9 years old. Hearing it now in my early 50s, the line "I was young, and time was on my side/But like a fool, I let it slip away, and now those days are gone." hits really hard.
Essa música marcou minha infância. Quando fecho os olhos, me recordo da minha mãe indo trabalhar bem cedo, penteando os cabelos pretos todo repicado, o famoso corte Pigmalião. Eu achava tão lindo o cabelo dela, no clipe o Gino está com mesmo corte..Bateu uma nostalgia dessa época, tempos que não voltam mais!
Lyrics In my life I've felt so self-assured But suddenly, it's all changed She's a cloud That hangs above my world And I find myself wandering in the rain And now, I can't go on 'Cause I am lost Living inside myself Living inside this shell Living outside your love I am lost Somewhere inside my own dreams Afraid of what life really means Living without your love I need a guiding light To shine on my darkest days I was young And time was on my side Like a fool, I let it slip away And now, those days are gone I am lost Living inside myself Living inside this shell Living outside your love I am lost Somewhere inside my own dreams Afraid of what life really means Living without your love In my life I've felt so self-assured But oh, how all the seasons change And now, I'm not that strong 'Cause I am lost Living inside myself Living inside this hell Living outside your love I am lost Somewhere inside my own dreams Afraid of what life really means Living without your love I am lost Living inside myself Living inside this shell Living outside your love I am lost (Somewhere inside my own dreams) (Afraid of what life really means) (Living without your love) I am lost Living inside myself Living inside this shell Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Gino Vannelli
Gino still looks good. I thought he was handsome when he sang his hit songs, and I recently saw a picture of him, and I think he still looks good. He is aging gracefully. Still handsome.
@@jonremymusic5192 Yes, I understand that he did at the time have those type of followers. He couldn't help who he attracted, but I assure you his reason for the style he chose was for the opposite sex. He was well aware of the others, and it mattered not to him. I saw an interview many years ago, and when they brought that up to him, he just laughed it off.
2022 still listening 🎧 to this gem, for me this song will never get old. 80s come back, it's really the music 🎶🎼 for me some of the prettiest music I've ever heard. 🧡🧡💙💙
Me too, still listening. I was a true to the heart "soft rock" girl. Love this song by Gino Vannelli. Amen to everything you said. They sure don't make music like that in today's time! Classic. Pure Classic!!
@@CherylDavis321 I was and still am a soft rock old school girl.... I'm Africa American and most girls of my age/ race weren't... but I am very diverse when it comes to music..
@@murielbutlermartin927 I know girl, me too. They look at me all crazy, some black folks but I do not care what they think about me. "Music" just like love has no color. If I choose to date and marry a white man, it's my own business and I will never allow any of them to define me!!!
@@murielbutlermartin927 me too Muriel! I always felt I was the only one lol. Also still love & listen to Hall & Oates, Duran Duran, Tears for Fears...etc 🥰🥰🥰
É verdade, ficava ansiosa para comprar as trilhas nacionais e as internacionais eram imbatíveis. Hoje é só porcaria e algumas vezes eles pegam até trilhas passadas mas não tem a mesma emoção pq os Personagens das Novelas eram apaixonantes! 💖🎧🎵
He is so talented! What an amazing voice! Seems like he could also sing Opera! Brings me back when I was a little girl! This song never gets old never!!!😍😍😍😍😍
This was one of my float down the highway at 80 MPH songs with my first car, a limited edition Ford Mustang with a killer sound system. Good vibes from the early 80's!
🎶 In my life I've felt so self assured But suddenly it's all changed She's a cloud That hangs above my world And I find myself wond'ring in the rain And now I can't go on 'Cause I am lost Living inside myself Living inside this shell Living outside your love I am lost Somewhere inside my own dreams Afraid of what life really means Living without your love I need a guiding light To shine on my darkest days I was young, and time was on my side But like a fool I let it slip away And now those days are gone And I am lost Living inside myself Living inside this shell Living outside your love I am lost Somewhere inside my own dreams Afraid of what life really means Living without your love In my life I've felt so self-assured But oh how all the seasons change And now I'm not that strong 'Cause I am lost Living inside myself Living inside this hell Living outside your love I am lost Somewhere inside my own dreams Afraid of what life really means Living without your love I am lost Living inside myself Living inside this shell Living outside your love I am lost🎶
Ouvi pela primeira vez no extinto programa TV Mulher na Globo; eu tinha 14 anos na época e sonhava em ser radialista; hoje estou com 50 anos; estou momentaneamente fora do rádio, mas é uma profissão incrível.O tempo passa, mas as lembranças permanecem ou insistem em nos acompanhar.Outra linda música do Vannelli é 'Hurts to be in love' (Dói estar apaixonado).Felicidades para vc Jussara e para todos que curtem musica boa e envolvente.
@@rebeccameyer6104 true Rebeca..true..true.I had a lock of hair,I needed a weedwacker to cut.but now my hair got shot to hell.but you know something..... the classic rock music still sound the same.
His voice is soothing to my soul... what a beautiful voice. I remember listing to him in the late 70's early 80's. Loved the song when I was only 15-17...... still love it at 60.
Music is a timeless entity that will forever remain eternal as long as there is time. This classic, jazzy-pop track of Gino Vannelli transcends everything that pertains to life: time, love, and happiness. It is such a travesty that we allow music to deviate from its original intent for capital gain. But, record companies only look at dollars and cents, not lyrical content. Thank God for a platform like RU-vid to keep golden classics alive.

Gino Vannelli is one of The Greatest Artists Ever~He's still going strong & Never lost his Voice or his Talent. Bravo Gino for Fabulous Shows which since The 70's I have had the Honor of meeting you many times! My memories will Live on~~
Summer of 1981 this hit. Living in the projects, listening to the radio in my backyard. Going to summer school and eating lunch at the community center. Such good memories of a simpler time I never realized how gorgeous Gino Vanelli is in here...Look at his hair
@@kelliewilliams2895 lol and when you were in school that year I was only in kindergarten or first grade. I totally remember the music and now is really making me feel old and I am pushing fifty now...lol..love the old music and my folks that are now dead that also listened to it
I first heard this song in my Junior high dance class. I took dance instead of gym class. My dance teacher played this at our dance class warm up excercises on the auditorium stage where we had dance class. I was 14. I still like this song and artist today.
Estava assistindo a novela Baila Comigo e ouvi essa linda canção e disse minha nossa que música linda e agora estou aqui acho que só hj a ouvi umas 500 vezes!!!
