Randy VanWarmer - I Guess It Never Hurts To Hurt Sometimes 

It is 10.55pm 20/07/2023 nearing my 56Th Birthday next month in August I have just listened to this sweet mans voice from his 1979 hit Just when I needed You Most so I research this mans name only to find he passed away in 2004 from leukemia. How so very sad & call me a softy but now I 'am shedding tears for a man I never met nor seen him live in concert but his music touched my heart may he rest in peace.

RIP Randy ❤️ gone too soon

Randy was a fabulous writer of songs that provoke emotion from sadness to introspection to joy with both profound lyrics as well as lighthearted ones. The Oak Ridge Boys took this song and made it into a feel good song with an upbeat tempo that was huge hit. I prefer Randy's version not only because he is the writer and composer but because his voice is perfect to deliver the message of the lyrics. I had the pleasure of living in Nashville for some time and seeing many great artists perform at the Blue Bird Cafe including Randy. He certainly held his own with anyone that graced that stage . Randy's passing is a real loss not only to his family and friends but also to all those that appreciate his talent. He does leave behind these great songs for us to enjoy.

Sometimes I feel a wave of a past break in my mind And I know it's gone for good and it makes me want to cry Is this all we get to keep as the years go rolling by Just a memory for all the days gone by Oh you're always in my heart and you're often on my mind I will never let it die just as long as I'm alive Sometimes it makes me sad that we never said goodbye Well I guess it never hurts to hurt sometimes You try and hold on to the moment but time won't let you stay But for every step you take you lose something on the way You can't look forward to tomorrow and still hold on to yesterday Oh I hope that you can hear me when I'm saying Oh I guess it never hurts to hurt sometimes

What an absolutely beautiful song and a wonderful singer too. One of the best songs ever.

Another beautiful heartfelt song by Randy Vanwarmer. This song is on his album "Beat of Love" from 1981. The voice of an angel. Sadly gone far too soon at the age of 48 in 2004 due to leukemia.

What a beautiful, beautiful song. This man was taken away from us too soon, I think.

What a great song! I never heard this one by Randy Vanwarmer before, what talent and velvety voice!

Loved ones never leave us, and are never truly gone while ever we remember them. It hurts all the time, though...

Absolutely beautiful song 😭💗 My Dad just introduced this song to me, we love our music and Randy's voice is a heaven sent one!!💗 Rest in Peace!! ❤

Definitely it’s a great song to remember for ever, from the most profound bottom of the hearts. What a great singer....

I've heard this song before, but I've never heard his version. I like this one best. What a pure, beautiful voice.

Now one of my favorite songs.

Voice of an angel. Rest in peace Randy.

My little brother Joe passed away @ 40 he was one of the best musician/singers I ever heard,I saw guys in a bar putting pool cues down and listen to him sing one night.

Every word rings so true for me..I miss you laura

great country song! he was very sensitive and beautiful voice......i miss so much that type of music in these days

What a beautiful voice.

Wow! That's a song that once heard, will never leave you and you never would want it to. We only get one Mom in this life. Thank you Randy.

What a song. Will never forget this one thanks Randy rip my friend

So beautiful thank you for uploading

Man, this really hits home for me. It's been over 40 years since I experienced my first love and I'm just now grieving that loss. We were so open with no guards or agendas, just the joy of love. Ultimately it was I who pulled away, but the pain of the loss, it doesn't matter. This experience must be common because there's so many songs about it, but this is one of the best I've heard.

I love your beautiful voice, it makes me sad because your gone 😢rip.

Wow , just researching him today, sad to learn of his early passing, gorgeous voice

I only listen to JUST WHEN I NEEDED YOU MOST. But when I started to explore I found RV has a lot of other good songs like this one

ILove this version first the Oak Ridge Boys do it first,But I like this better I think. RIP Randy.

Wow!!!! A truly beautiful song. 1st time I've heard it.......unfortunately. ❤

First time I’ve heard this song. Great music and such a talented young man. He left us so early in his life.

Byl skvělý zpěvák. ❤Krásná píseň.

this teared me up a bit... :(

What a beautiful song..Sad for his loss..🙏

this sing goes out to my drand mother who died in oct of 09 love you mami we never got to tell you good bye see you in heavan

Hits you in the heart great song

I never knew Randy wrote this beautiful song. ❤

Randy wrote and recorded songs that were later used by both the Oak Ridge Boys and Alabama, these songs all became #1 hits. I can't even imagine the millions he made in royalities alone, little alone off the success of his own recordings. I remember when the news broke 20 years ago that Randy had past away from Luekemia. We lost an incredible talent that was taken away too soon.

RIP Randy. Can’t believe it’s been 20 years.

100% nostalgia

amo esse cantor

Sooooooooo many memories.... the older we get the more memories we create.... these perfect songs recall the memories. Peace to all. 🙏🙏🙏

My tear are crying

It seems from the comments below not everybody realizes he also COMPOSED this song....

We miss u

dulce, dulce, dulce.....

I only knew his Just When I needed you most. This one is also beautiful. He actually sounds a lot like Vince Gill.

really good sound...song..lyrics

Hermosa melodía

OMG thank you so much for uploading this beautiful song

This is so beautiful, I knew it from the Oak Ridge Boys but just recently found out that Randy wrote it. I love his version so much; my son died recently and this is my go to song.

Wish I could turn back time to the days that we were both laughing and happy to talk to each other. I guess. No. I know that you finally found someone. I just can't accept that it's been a seven months since when we stopped talking to each other and nonetheless, I never stopped waiting for you to come back. I don't want to see you happy with someone else. Because it's hard for me to accept the fact that I'm continuously suffering even though we don't have any kind of relationship in the past.

Great song

I lost a love 14 yrs ago and this song sums it up 😢

Joe Bonsall still to this day thinks this is the best version of the song

I lost my friend called Irene..She died together with her baby when she was delivering 😭this song hits me soo hard!!!! “ Sometimes it makes me said that we never got to say goodbye”! RIP IRENE 💔

R.I.P

Awesome !

How come I never knew those song existed? The Oak Ridge Boys version is all I've known.

It is possible your mother is correct. Lonesome Dave created a version of Foghat in 1990 which was different than the band that still called themselves Foghat. But Price was not part of it that I am aware of. But that doesn't mean that Price wasn't there on that particular night.

Hey Friend of Foghat, I'm kind of a big fan of the band since the original early days. My younger brother (Bandmate) from here in Indianapolis is a Luthier, and he has spent 30+ year's building and repairing guitars for the Big act's of the old days and say's this. ""we know that Roger Earl, was and is still living,but sadly Dave Peverette passed away some years back. by 1990 some of the guys had left the band and (lil brother) Gregg says your guess is as good as his as to who made up the band in the early 90's ? P.S. However, one thing for sure is that former Guitarist from Wild Cherry (Play that funky music white boy ) Brian Bassett as of 2019 was holding down the fort on 6 string very well! Also make sure yourself or your Dad remembers to go back to the Savoy Brown days when you are looking for some of the old Rockers that wrote the book on Rock-n-Roll Happy Hunting guys, wish we could have been more help!
