Today, I discovered this song trhough my father's record collection. It was included on a Ballad Classics album together with (among others) Giant's I'll See You In My Dreams and Skid Row's Wasted Time. I wish I was young in those days - today's "rock" is not nearly as deep and breathtaking as this is...
1980's...Big Hair, Rock Ballad's, Stylish Clothes...Real Music was made and lasts through Today. I would LOVE to be a 1980's Radio Disc Jockey...Memories were made then with songs attached that Today I reminisce over and remember the past. Long Live the 1980's Music..
My god I miss my youth. I'm 42 and I look in the mirror not the same man. This song came at a time in my life that was so amazing. I love my family so much but miss my past. Miss my friends. I wanted life to move on and now I want it to slow down.
Winger has a bad rep because ther're all pretty and sing no songs about destruction or death. These guys had passion and I applaud them for going their own way.
wow! what a beautiful song. amazing words and an amazing voice too by kip winger. great song! one of the greatest rock ballads ever made! its too bad they dont make music like they did back in the 80's
Because that take talent and grace, and these are rare birds these days... You can see that Kip is singing this straight from the heart...Now that's more than just skill, you either have it or you don't!!!
I really feel happy when I can read young guys say this is good music. Because in this days is not important musical knowledge and talent. Only electronic demands. Miles Away is a real good love song.
A lot of people gave Winger a hard time. Even Beavis and Butthead did. Nobody can deny that this rock ballad rules though. I also just turned 40 and I too will rock until I'm dead.
All the digitally created music and voices these days have actually brought many people to appreciate the true talent these artist offered. I sincerely hope that music will get back to the elements that created such classics!
This is the ultimate hurt song for heartbroken people. It's like Sinatra. His lyrics can make you heal every time you listen to each song. But than again it even compares to 80s metal hair bands. Some of their lyrics are similar to Sinatra's hurt songs but have different arrangements.
II was very young when this song was a success. Here in Brazil this song was a hit in 1991 on the soundtrack for a novel. I was born in 1984 and wanted to live the best years of Rock, now has many other good bands and some bad, but the rock music industry is no longer the same. Thanks for the music winger
"A solidão simplesmente desaparece Pensamentos em você, apenas lembranças Sem choro agora pelo que sentimos falta O tempo não esquecerá o que você significou para mim Ainda que apenas por um momento Agarre-se aos sonhos que tivemos" :/
Not too many power ballads get much better than this...Reb, the 'Burgh loves ya, you still rock, all these years after leaving your home town! Kip, you're an amazing song writer, singer and bassist...wish I could get these years back!
MILES AWAY Tests the STRENGTH of LOVE Moments make Memories Love each other always For when time passes The time is gone Remembering when the HEART is involved There are FEELINGS MISSING YOU BABE I LOVE YOU MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE
Out of all their songs, their most power-ballad song. :) That I have heard anyway! Still one of my favorites of theirs, even after hearing it upon its release almost 22 years ago...
Lembro dos comerciais do Cigarro Hollywood que passava os caras andando de Jetskis,lanchas,triciclos...Certamente hoje sou apaixonado por Jetski graças a essas e outras influências
It doesnt get any better than this. Kip Winger and an extremely talented band. This is my kind of music. I could look at him all day long while listening to him, and by the time the hubby got home from work, hed be getting lucky. LOL He loves for me to watch a Winger video, cuz hell reap the benefits. DAMN Kip,you are one sexy man. mmmmm
MUSIC ISN'T THAT GREAT ANYMORE, I have always listened to 80's music here and there, but find myself listening to it more on a daily basis now. 80's MUSIC RULES!!
yeah i'm 34 years old this year, & when i hear this kind of music, i going back teen cool guy. no doubt 80's music is real. not like now no power. hehehehe,,,,! no soul! shit! & no life,,,!
This song reminds me of when I was recruited out of college and I was leaving LV to work in Cali., my ex-GF had just had an abortion and told me like it was no big deal. She found out where I lived and went looking for me. This video just reminded me of that day she was knocking on my door, I was standing on the other side. I never answered the door, I let her walk away. She left me a note but I never opened it, I don't regret it.
Winger was/is a solid rock band. They have really great musicians and good tunes. The musicians back in the 80s could really play their instruments, unlike most of these neo punk, emo, rapcore bands or whatever they call themselves- they are 3 chords, no solos,and out.
God i love the guy in this video..he is soo finnee.. i have crushed on him since like way back when this firs came out.. i dont know who he is..but woooww..lol
