Song was from my senior year in high school. I had been selected to all-state choir, which was awesome. Then, on the bus trip back from Olympia, I sat with this total fox cutie from another high school clear across town... and we shared her earphone splitter on my walkman and listened to this. I was totally smitten by her and wanted our moment together to last forever. When we got back to town, she gave me a hug, and I never saw her again. But every time I hear this song... it's the fall of 1989, and all over again I'm that shy kid in high school. It's the end of the 80s, and I've got this terminal lump in my throat, and for a moment, for just a second or two, for old time sake... she's right there, listening to this with me.
How I know you are legit is you called her a fox. Great memory for you but life goes on and hopefully you didn't miss out on a woman because of a memory. Or maybe, just maybe that girl is your destiny.......
Richard Marx is a great singer and song writer. so talented and wonderful singing voice. I can fall asleep listening to this song. OMG, I miss the 80's. I am a part of the class of 88 and am 53 today. Nothing can replace 80's music; the music was real and sincere.
The Internet contributed to the demise of good music because people downloaded the musicians' hard work. Hence, there is no longer an incentive for musicians to put all of their efforts into singing a good song.
He came from struggled childhood, Lionel Richie helped him a lot. Richard Marx one of the talented, brave and humble singers. Let’s spread his music all around the World !
Read his book, he did not have a struggled childhood. He had 2 loving parents who encouraged him in everything he did. He was and still is a very talented man since he was a young child.
What a time it was to be born in such an Era. The music really transcended issues of the heart. Did you hear it?! The raspiness of his voice...loud and clear. The smoothness of the tones and such a high level of precision performed with esteemed emotions. Richard Marx is one of a kind!
My one and only love dedicated his life to me. Richard Max was the glue that held us together. He's been long gone, but I know I'll see him again, because the Lord is my God and we have eternal life in him. Amen
I had forgotten what real, clean, beautiful & romantic music sounds like until today. I have treated myself to 15 minutes of wonderful music & walking down memory lane, in mt mind. Thank you Richard ❤
He was so authentic, and I fell in love with him instantly on stage because I was a young 14 year old impressionable teenager...not long after the concert I decided I was going clubbing because I felt safer than being at home with a Step Father who was under the influence of Scotch and looked at me as fair game,I saved myself from his leering and unwanted attention
Not on domestic US radio, but there are still artists doing it (I won't debate whether they're quite on RM's level, as that's a different discussion).. new last October: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jbGlYsTJjYI.html
A great and beautiful example of "Soft Rock" Sensual and heartbreaking. A hymn to memories of my first Real Love who I loved then and will love forever. THANK YOU RICHARD
He was never meant to be an artist. He was a song writer for many acts. Wrote many songs for Michael Bolton. Then he started to sing his own stuff and became famous.
so true HBA Power. In Germany we call him a "Vollblut Musiker". This year we've seen Tony Hadley and next year Richard Marx here in Hamburg. So happy ...
Then you best start showing your kids because I'm 22 and I didn't even know him or this song it's a coincidence that I'm even typing this just saying it won't live on forever if no one mentions it. you have to pass on knowledge to live forever.
just amazing, the days where it was just the artist not only having amazing vocals but playing instruments as well. That is a talent that is sorely lacking in modern music. No auto tune, no lip syncing either.
Richard Marx is just the best. His voice is the soundtrack for my high school years. Good times, heart breaks. My sister and a friend and I used to drive around playing this tape over and over and over again with the windows rolled down, singing our hearts out. Great memories.
Hope you get over the pain enough to remember her for all of your love she shared and even though she can't come back, she'll be with you when you play songs you both shared. I know grief. Lost my son at 17 & lost my mom when I was 18. I'd give anything to have them back..
Just when I believed I couldn't ever want for more This ever changing world pushes me through another door I saw you smile And my mind could not erase the beauty of your face Just for awhile Won't you let me shelter you Hold on to the nights Hold on to the memories I wish that I could give you something more That I could be yours How do we explain something that took us by surprise Promises in vain, love that is real but in disguise What happens now Do we break another rule Let our lovers play the fool I don't know how To stop feeling this way Hold on to the nights Hold on to the memories I wish that I could give you something more That I could be yours Well, I think that I've been true to everybody else but me And the way I feel about you makes my heart long to be free Every time I look into your eyes, I'm helplessly aware That the someone I've been searching for is right there Hold on to the nights Hold on to the memories I wish that I could give you more Hold on to the nights
Excellent all around. Great keyboard player. Good character. Very nice guy. I met him in Manhattan, NY in 86. It was a mirror as we looked alike . Crazy
Wow! I was never into this guy, but now that Im in a situation, the lyrics hit me hard, when I heard it today on a soundtrack of a movie. Amazing how a total steamger can read out loud the thoughts of my heart.
here it is 2020 and yet I wish I was able to time travel back to those years. such a different time such a different world. yes memories. it is what keeps us alive
Those were the good old days, 80s,90s.I remember these times I was still working at SABS travelling the whole of the Republic doing inspections at shops.
Saw Richard Marx the first time at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, with my girlfriend and her best friend. Was an incredible evening. We sat in the nosebleed seats of Arnold Hall, and felt like we were front row and Center during his performance. CHEERS from Colorado
How did we lose this MAGIC in music?? I almost want to mourn the loss of it. At least we can press play and continue to cherish for all eternity magical 80's songs like these. Richard Marx was so underrated. He has a rare pitch to his voice.
You do realize music is everywhere and since the beginning of ⏲️? This comment is weird and so horse blinder like.... omg. American like music like is the like only like music. 🙄
I was watching The Talk today , and Richard Marx was a guest with his wife. I was blown away by memories of the 80s! His songs have left an imprint on my heart. Such a great singer/songwriter. Yes, the 80s were the best! Take me back! 🙂
Honestly, I am so glad that I was able to go through the 1980's immersed in the music of the decade and loving every minuter of it. I was only in grade school at the time but I knew even then that music would never be as good as it was then. I have dozens of tapes I used to record songs on to.
Used to listen to many of RMs songs long ago never knowing who really did them. Always liked them but never appreciated them. But as I got older and life and experiences made me a mature and thoughtful person, these songs came with more meaning as time passed. Seriously, Richard is WAY under rated!
i know right. first when i heard 'this i promise you' i thought it was richard who sang, but then there was second different voice, i started to look up, and it was Nsync.
Never get tired of this marvelous song Hold on to your memories no one can take that away from you. Thank you for this great passionate song you sing. You are a star.
My fiancee and I saw Richard perform a few months ago at the Rialto theater in Joliet, IL. He had an acoustic guitar and a piano. That's it. Wow! I was blown away to hear him live after not really knowing his music. Talk about talent. True entertainer that desires to connect with the live audience. Don't miss his one of his concerts/shows if you havd the opportunity to go. You WILL NOT be disappointed!
So many of his songs hits the heart strings with me. Especially Right here waiting . I heard it for the first time when I was going thru a breakup with my first girlfriend. I was 15 and heart broken. Music today doesn't give you that connection. I was lucky to grow up in the 80s born in 1973 so the late 80z early 90s were my time. And I'm thankful for them and music from artist like Richard Marxx
Richard Marx has a voice that you recognize right away. It has been years since I have listened to him, but when you hear his songs like this one, it always brings back memories. Music is not like this anymore.
@richardmarxlive listening to this song over and over...one of my faves! Richard...iam 47.i have been your die hard fan since age 13.I know all of the words to all of your songs and listen to the old stuff daily.Now I'm gonna listen to "should have known better" and "endless summer nights".your loyal fans are still here...WE WILL NEVER LEAVE!Your talent is beyond words.WE LOVE YA!🥰🥰🥰
Every time I hear the intro to this song, my heart does a little flip!! It will always be a song that touches me & I will always be grateful that Richard shared his talents with us!!
This song touched me way back in the 80’s. It was my go to song when times got to hard on me. And it also reminded me of how life can change in instant. And it will always have a place in my heart ❤️
He was the reason I kept going through High School,my best friend paid for me to watch him live at the Civic Theatre and I was so enamoured by him....I was so captivated by his music and his lyriques
Thank you, Kelly! Your kind words are like fuel to my creative fire. Knowing that my music resonates with people like you keeps me going. Let's keep the good vibes flowing!
Been listening to all these old songs a lot lately. Inspiring me to go back to playing piano again, or at least trying to (two improperly healed broken fingers on my left hand). Music is life❤️
even though i listen to Christian metal, i will agree that Richard marx is a very great singer and his music is out of this world. you will not find a singer like Richard Marx today
