So pleased that we wrote this song. It was one of the last ones for the album. Didn't realise how many people it would touch. Thanks for liking guys. Trevor
This song came on the radio when I drove home the day I found my father had passed away after a 9 month illness (brain cancer). It always have been very close to my heart.
I introduced my Mom to this song when my step-father passed on 12/26/1991 in a car crash. My mother passed 06/02/2023 and this is the song we will play after Hello Darlin’ by Conway Twitty at her celebration of life. This song means so much to my family to this day.
My mom went to be with my dad on June 25 2018. Daddy passed Aug 1, 1976... when she opened her eyes, there he was, right along with Jesus...I pray she finally found the smile that was left in 1976...
This song truly saved my life. it had been 3 months since my husband died I worked nights had a very long drive home. Everyone knew I wasn't able to sleep so I knew it would look like an accident. I put all my affairs in order. On the faithful night that I planned to drive off the top of the 3 mile bridge This song came on the radio 1st time I ever heard it. By the time I got to the top I just kept driving, new he'd always be there. Almost 20 yrs ago&I still feel him. Song is true love is 4-ever
This song came out shortly after my son died, It is Just Beautiful and I love it and wished I could have played it at his funeral.... God Bless These True ARTIST. Thank U, ESCAPE CLUB
While my mother was dying of cancer in the fall of 1991 she heard this song on VH1 and loved it. She told my sister and I she wanted it played at her funeral. She died January 1, 1992. We played this song at her funeral like she requested. I will always love this song, as it was a favorite of my wonderful mother.
I miss you Dad...the sound of your voice, your crazy smirk, hands; rough and weathered that worked so hard to provide, your deep and abiding love for Mom and for kids and later the grandchildren...a day does not pass without thoughts of you. I miss you...July 22, 2006 R.I.P.
Wow,I am so happy this song has touched so many.This song and Tears From Heaven by Eric Clapton always remind my mom about her sister who died from a drunk driver.She still has this song on cassette tape.Everytime I hear it,it makes me cry. R.I.P Suzanne♥
My brother was killed 1 year ago, and in his funeral I played this song, I believe he is with me, I month later exactly, my wife and I knew she was pregnant, we had tried for several years, so, he, my brother made that possible, he talked to God and the miracle was possible, thanks Jairo, for that gift, at this time my new borned son is with us, and we are very happy, but sad at the same time because you're not with us to share that happiness, we will love you forever, wait for me, I'll be there...
Just listened to wild wild west & call it piosion . Never used to like wild wild west . Its on a dvd i have ,it grew on me . Why the hell this was never played on Australian radio is beyond me . This should have been a big hit for the band . Top song freakin' love it . ❤😊sydney Australia 🦘 2/6/2024
My mom listened to this alot after her brother died. She told my grandma how much it reminds her of him. We played it at her funeral. Chenoa D. Gibbs July 17th 1971 - September 1st 2009 I wish I could tell you how much you meant to me. I love you so much.
I heard this song on October 19th 1991...listened to it in the car driving home thinking about my brother...couldnt figure it out - then two days later he died. This song has meant so much to me over the last 20 years. Miss you Joey...wish you were still here with us.
The first time I heard this song was September 3rd of 1990, It was the day my mom died! I always felt as if this was her way of telling me she would always be with me! I still believe that and cry like a baby when I hear this song!!! Whoever updated the video, thank you! the quality is soooo much better!!!!
I never knew you sang this song until it played today on a back in the day replay on SiriusXM for the year 1991. I've heard it around before but had no idea who performed it. Well done!
My brother introduced this song to me when I was a kid. He passed 2004, few days after my birthday. It reminded me of him when he was alive, and now that he's gone. Great song.
i miss my uncle, he was like a father to me my sister and brother. he took us everywhere he was such a great man. i was only like 11 when he passed and im 17. this song is in rememberance of him 35 is too young he had a heart attack and gosh i miss him soo
This song was given to me when my son died....I cried all the time with it. Now my other son has died and it means so much to know they are both with me forever. Nothing can separate us... ever.
I lost my Father when I was just a boy of 12 years-old (1991). I had this song on a cassette tape, still do, I listened to this song more times than I can count. Loosing my Father as a boy was VERY hard... but this song connected with my soul, and I felt a little better when I listened. THANK YOU Escape Club for making this beautiful song, and thank you Trevor Steel for posting it. I am a Father now... I wish my Dad were here to hug and play with his grand children...
This song was for my 6month old Michael in 1991. I have it saved and came across today still gets me especially momma passing last year. This song has crashed my laptop due to tears. Well worth it and it was my first and last laptop but the song will go on. Not another song I can say means something to me. This is the one and only. Thank You Escape Club for a way to escape tragic times in my life. Your a rare breed. God Bless
This came out the year that my step son took his own life. A very dark time. I remember hearing this song and going out to buy it. I played it over and over that Summer and got great comfort out of it. It has been 19 years and I still miss seeing him come through the door with his smile.
This is one of the songs I remember from the summer of 1991 and it still holds up almost 20 years later. When my grandma died a few years ago I played this song a lot to get through my mourning and it did help. This year when my best friend passed away at the age of 25, I went back to this song again and it still helped with healing me, slowly but surely. Songs like this are what music is truly about to me... it's just beautiful.
I have cancer and 2 brain aneurysms! So I am living each day to the fullest as long as my lets me. My headaches are the worst! But I have plans made for this song to play dedicated to my 2 beautiful daughters in hope on their bad days it will get them through this! I also want them to mama was not afraid! I love them oh too much!!!
God Bless you!!! This was dedicated to me from someone I loved very much and lost extremely suddenly back in 1991, it still has the same meaning all these years later. I hope it will mean as much to your family! I wish you all the best in your fight!!!
I can't express how much your thoughts and prayers mean to me and my family! Thank you all prayers and only thing I have to lean on sometimes. Again thank you for all your prayers and wishful thinking, just know that ihave it stopped fighting yet.....
Angela Harrison You should live to the fullest. Im sorry about what has happened to you. I lost my dad when i was 11 years old. He had a brain aneurysm and his brain aneurysm took over and got in a car accident. we never knew he had one til it was to late. i wish you the best of luck. Im 16 now and still cry when any one mentions death. you never move one from something like that. R.I.P Daddy (03-27-71)-(02-04-11)
i heard this song for the first time when I was 8 in 1992..Then I heard it agin in 2005..I was in love with it and looked for it for years..the video being ethereal and dreamlike is perfect for the song!!
I heard this song after my grandfather died. It describes how he lived his life and brings back happy memories of him for me. Thanks for making this one available for me to listen to!!
I didn't have many things to be responsible for when my Mom died a few years ago, I was destroyed, but I did want to be involved. I searched for hours and hours for a song to play that would represent her. I so wish I had stumbled upon this sweet song. I will always think of this as her song to us from Above. Love you Mom, miss you every minute!!
ill rely love this song......one of my 10 most favorate song ever...very sharp nd deep love song that makes our heart take a fly over oceans and over seas and over mountain and over trees.... how i wished that my darling may hear this song.... and surely she will realizad and remember me...that... ILL BE THERE...
Incredible Song!!!! Makes me tear up every single time I hear it......we need bands like this back in music today!!!! So much emotion in each word sang!
Played This Song At My Grandma Funeral And I Miss You So Much !!!! Evertime I Listen to this song it just makes me brake down and cry beacuse i lost my gramdma in 2001
I lost my wife last month. She was 35 and I am left with 2 young children. I miss her so much. This song is amazing and every time I hear it I fell like she is watching over us.
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Carry your wife in your heart and she will always be with you. I lost my husband 12 1/2 years ago at 39 and this is what I try to do. Take care
This song is just so utterly beautiful... every-time I hear it...it always relaxes me and makes me daydream of some place tropical....such a timeless piece.
I've looked for this song for years! My small town station didn't play it much and never announced who it was the couple times I heard it. Heard it again in 2005 but was otw to ER & forgot everything.Long time mystery. ❤
had this song play at my mother's funeral. Wasn't a dry eye to be found. wow.. did these guys know they had created a masterpiece when they recorded this?
I saw the video of this song on television one day while I was still attending College, in the mid 90s. When my father passed away with type 2 diabetes in 2003, this was the song that I listened to. I still listen to it today. It brings me comfort and peace, knowing that even though my father is no longer with me, I know he will always be with me in spirit. I just wanted to say thank you so much for this beautiful song. Praise the Lord for such a wonderful gift that he blessed you with.
Six and a half years... I feel her within me as if it were yesterday. Twenty three years of the most incredible gift. I may have given birth to her but she wasn't mine. She belonged to the world... So many who loved her... So many who had the benefit of her love. She's still with me, and she's part of my soul. I can still shed a tear, I'll always miss her physical presence, but I can laugh and smile again. She's part of my forever...That brings me peace of mind.
I was 10 years old when my aunt, whom I was very close to, passed away from ovarian cancer. I cry whenever I hear this song, because this was played at her funeral. We love you, and miss you, Tia Christy! Semper Fi
this song is a great song the lyrics really hit the heart especially if you lost someone close to you... i love you mom, Susana Esqueda... 1954-1983.. you are greatly missed..
I remember getting out of the Marines and living with Lisa, my girlfriend at this time and listening to this song, it's like another lifetime ago. Let's all cherish these days we have alive. Maybe on this day we can all contact an old friend or someone we once loved and remind them that you still for them. Let's make this holiday season one to cherish.
everytime i hear this song i think of my boyfriend that passed away 10 months ago id do anything to feel him or even see him alot of people take life for granted and he loved life even on his bad days he always laughed or made jokes to make others laugh i love you billy miss you babe
This is absolutely one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I did a scrapbook for my best friend who lost her best friend in a car wreck. I put this song on a c.d., and since then, every time she gets depressed, she listens to this song and it reminds her that her friend is not truly "gone". This song will definetly be played at my funeral. Beautiful music and beautiful lyrics
I've been listening to this song since i was a lil child I really love this song since then. its lyrics is really touching also goes to its music & it really makes me cry every time i listen into it all the time. its melody & lyrics embraces me.
I'll be there was one of my husband's most favourite songs. I still enjoy sitting &listening to this song ...many years after too. Never dreamt that he would leave me so early.
love the song. It was played at my step dad's funeral when I was 5 years old. Hearing this always brings back those memories. I am now 31 years old. I always tear up hearing this song
on june 1st 1991 my dad passed away, I was 18 and a time I needed him most. it was also the first time I heard this song on the radio and it seemed it was playing every hour. this song helped me through as if it was my dad singing to my family and I
Wow! What a blast from the past! I remember dancing to this song at my Senior Prom in 1992. Amazing song, but I don't think I've heard it in more than 20 years.
I just lost my best friend late last night I can't live life with out him!!!!!!!! my HEART IS BROKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE U MARK!!!! RIP * BALLING HER EYES OUT*
very beautiful song...it's hard when you lose someone you loved very much i know that.i would be crushed if someone from my closest family dies...especially father,mother or sister...so to everyone who lost their dearest, peace and god bless you and and your dearest who are not with us anymore!
This song was released during a very dark time when my step son took his own life at 22. I played it continuously that summer and got comfort from it. When I hear it now, I still feel sad and remember how much we all love and miss him.... still a beautiful and healing song
ive listened to alot of alabama over the years, but i dont remember that song. it was fantastic, thank you. that is pretty cool that teddy gentry is your dad. i grew up listening to alabama, waylon jennings, kenny rogers, willie nelson, and a bunch more because my mom and sep dad loved country. thank you again.
love this song, it was played at my dad's funeral 2 weeks ago, i miss him so much, it sucks losing your father at 16 years old, love you dad forever, luke
I think this is the prettiest song ever made. This album came out in March of 1991, what a wonderful time. I was a freshman in college learning my way. Me and my girlfriend from high school were still kind of seeing eachother, and this song brings my heart back to that moment. Struggling to make a living, going to school, but we had our love for one another and this song took us through tough times. I remember lighting a candle by that old jam box and listening to this wanting it never to end...
My great grandfather died in October 5, 1991. I was 18, his last words to me he was looking forward to visiting me at christmas but sadly he never came to see me at christmas. This song haunts me. I both love and hate this song with a passion. As soon as I found out that he had passed. This song was on every radio channel, it played over and over and over. I believe it was my pop letting me know that he was there. 21 years later and this song still reduces me to tears. Love you Mocky!!!!
Class Trip riding from Upstate PA Mts to NYC; recalling all that had changed in my small town and all of those who weren't making the trip; changing of life song. Time had come to put away the childhood games and face the reality of the world...this song brought so many of us joy, comfort and hope for new lives, new friends, new adventure and of course new love... Thanks Trevor
a few weeks ago i was flicking through the radio stations and i heard this song and it makes me cry everytime i hear it my friend killed himself at 18 this song lets me know that i'll see him again..I miss you Kimbo you left us way to early..i'll miss you forever.
i dream of this song ....I love it that much...I lost a family member, and this is a comfort to me, and it's still sad , but spiritual and thoughtful .....I wonder how many wakes this song has been played at.....it's THAT special.....thanks for sharing!
Lost my mom suddenly on 8/14/16. Just heard this song for the first time (in many years, at least) minutes ago on Backtrax USA and almost bawled my eyes out. It's almost like she was sending a message to me through the radio because this was one of the hardest days in a while. Hard to believe this is the same group that did Wild Wild West!!!
'91 was a great year. I was 25 and felt like I had the whole world at my feet. I was in love with a girl and we loved this song. Its kinda funny how a little played song from a kinda random band could be thought of so well today. I'm 46 now and still love this song, but that girl doesn't really remember me. Such is life...
i still to this day shed a tear when i hear this song...even though it was/is for the best for me the song represents the loss i felt after 20 plus years being married and 3 children!
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. I heard it as a little boy and it touch me then and it still touches me now. I am sorry to hear about everyone's lost. I just hope those people who have not lost their loved ones will learn to cherish them. I am sure all of us will do anything for one more day with my loved one. God bless you all!
A friend JUST sent this to me, I've had a bout of depression remembering my beloved fiance' and our two best friends drowning in 1982. They were missing for several days, I had to ID their bodies at the morgue. This song has helped me through all the remembering, helps remind me they're still watching over me.. Love you Brian,Julie, and Dirk..
I had never heard this song before this past friday when they played it at my cousins funeral. I love it. I haven't been able to stop listening to it since. It brings me to tears every time.
