This song makes me sad.
Sad that I can't give it anything lower than a 1.

Ah... this song reminds me totally of hanging out by the pool of my dad's apartment complex all summer when I was about 10... this song and Cheap Trick "The Flame" were all over the radio. Man, what summer was that?
Anyway, one of the most specific-memory inducing songs I know.
I wonder what ever happened to that girl that hung out by the pool and brought me soup the day I had the flu and couldn't come out to swim...

Thank you for this beautiful word picture. Your comment added to my enjoyment of this song. |

Actually, she's got a nice, subtle, self-deprecating sense of humor. Saw her at Red Rocks a couple of years ago, and she was funny and engaging in between the sad songs--though she also seemed shy and almost embarrased to be sharing her feelings on stage. |

I thought this was a Kenny Loggins song for about 10 years of my life. That's a combination of being young at the time the song came out, and the fact that I never saw who was actually singing the song.
It's still a good tune, nonetheless...

This song continues to get overplayed on commercial radio stations around here.
It was a good song, but I am just plain sick of it now.

I think this song came out during a time when a bunch of good new songs were coming out. Sinead, The Church, Eddie Brickell. I bought them all including Tracy's. It added such a fresh new change to the music being played at the time.

This was the first song I heard after I crashed my first car. Great song, but personally painful.
Thanks for letting me vent that... |

Me TOO! I was thirteen, saw her on TV and couldn't figure it out...doesn't really matter I guess, its such a good album. I'm glad I wasn't the only one! |

I LOVE this song. It never fails to make me stop in my tracks -- I suspend whatever I'm doing and listen to every word, every strum of the guitar. It's breathtaking.

Only if you are using the total of ten raters. 
Every time I hear this song, I think of the hysterical SNL takeoff, which nailed this song to the wall |

Ah, this song brings back some silly memories. I was pretty young when this song hit the charts -- about 12 or so -- and it took me months to figure out that Tracy was a woman. A bit of a husky voice, and, well, the video and album cover didn't really do much to reveal she was a woman either.... :oops:

Curious 'bout what are the other "saddest songs ever made", on your list, Brian. On my list with saddest songs ever made, Leonard Cohen, for instance, will surely be prominent.

I hear an uplifting song where dreams are kept alive through a pretty dreary reality. 6/10

It's too bad this song got so overplayed when it was
released. Haven't heard this in a while so I can
appreciate the talent more.

while I do Like her music...This has to be the most depressing album that was ever conceived...listen to it all the way through and you're liable to put a bullet through your noggin. I highly recommend a listen (...under supervision).
