This song remains on my playlist. My favorite Richard Marx song, it was just so different.

This song came to Richard in a dream, it was written, performed and produced on his Rush Street album from 1992. He joked with his now ex-wife that it was laughable and stupid but she felt it was going to be a big hit. The lyrics talk about a girl named Mary who disappeared while out on a walk in Hazard Nebraska. It was a Number 1 hit in 13 countries. Beautiful instrumentation and Richard's dynamic and passionate vocals bring the lyrics to life. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Rob. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

Oh, man, this one of my favorite songs, ever! I would put it on and repeat it and repeat it, just to carried away in the rapture of that beautifully haunting melody and arrangement. My feeling has always been that the sheriff raped and killed her and was trying to pin it on him. In real life, Marx almost didn’t release this song. He didn’t think it had any redeeming qualities, but his wife loudly objected and told him that this was one of the best songs he’d ever written. Thank you, Mrs. Marx!

Richard Marx has a beautiful voice. Check out his other videos.

Talk about an underrated artist. Have to mention him.

Richard is my musical idol and my love

I love how he changes octave in his vocals.

I've heard this one before... is quite beautiful! 😊😊

No, he didn't do it, the sheriff did it. At the end it shows her telling the sheriff that they tell me I should be afraid of you, but I'm not, she gets in his car.

My favorite Richard Marx song. I think his character in the video was a little mentally challenged & she was his only friend. I’d have to say the sheriff did it with the scarf that got caught in the tree.

Nebraska is like out in no man's land. A forgotten place So when we hear this in America it's like man corn then a killing Not a great place to be, but i can only imagine the pain

This is the only Richard Marx song that I like. I actually didn't know it was him for a while when the song came out.

It's my absolute favorite song he did. I'm kind of moody myself, so it fits for me. I dont think he killed her. They may have went to the river but his words in the song said she went walking alone. I think for some reason she went out after he left.

Man how I love this song. Remember hearing it on the radio all the time growing up. Richard Marx was huge and songs like this are why.

sheriff did i+! look @ end of video where Sheriff pulls up and is glaring @ her!

love this song. i always thought he was set up to take the fall (by the sheriff), but I really am not sure now. But the song rocks!

What an intriguing story is told in this song. It’s a beautiful song for the ears as well. Thanks Harri and Rob. 🎄✌️

Check out Richard's early hit: "Don't Mean Nothin'" - great slide guitar work, and showing off his great vocals by bouncing across an entire octave in one measure of the chorus.

I’ve never heard this Song 🎶! Robert Conrad in this? Was this Song from a Movie 🎥? I really enjoy his music and his voice. VERY Talented Man! 😊

The MTV era...when you had the likes of Robert Conrad in a music video...

Hey Harry, I strongly recommend "Keep Coming Back".

Your right he is a poet A genius

Here in Brazil this song was part of a soap opera soundtrack in which an actress was real murdered by her scene fellow. That happened on december 28 th 1992. A sad song that also reminds us in Brazil of a real tragic end. We miss you Daniella Perez ❤

This is my theme tune to my life

Listrn to "One More Time" by Richard Marx

The song is great and I like how it makes me think about the story but it’s not him who’s guilty-it’s the sheriff

Bestie Hari

The video sort of explains why he left her by the river - he saw her with someone else and in his haste to get away left his scarf behind which was used to connect him to her death.

Great song. Harri, check out Dan Fogelberg's Tucson, Arizona (Gazette); similar storytelling, similarly dark...but in Hazard, the main character is being framed, while in Tucson, Arizona (Gazette) the main character does indeed kill...and then kills himself. A terrifically cinematic song, to a greater degree than Hazard is.

hahaha Richard *MaRx* . Not Max. But yeah it's a beautiful song. Great reaction!

it was the cop really he was crazy for mary

Heard this for the first time on a school bus in Miami Heard this again as a truck driver passing through Nebraska a couple weeks ago Brought back memories

Had forgotten all about this one 🤔😅 Thanks Rob for the suggestion 🎉🤩🥰 Thank Harri for a great reaction 🤔😊😉❤️

Beautiful song, love it and his voice! ❤

Sheriff did it that's way she says at the end people say I should be afraid but I'm not she saying it to the sheriff

The sheriff did ir.

The sheriff for sure. I used watch this clip as a kid in the 90's and always thought he was innocent. Its about small town mentality. The town and cops hate him because he burnt the house down as a kid, and his dad was in the Army so the town would have been in favour of the dad, even though the dad left him and his mum. He felt abandoned, but it didn't make him a murderer. The cops used that against him I feel sorry for the character, and the kid. He finally found love and they killed her to make him look bad.

Hi Mr. Harri, It is pronounced Marks no matter how it is spelled.. I like Mr. Richard.. Hey Mr. Harri, U need to hire me as a Speech Therapist or a Speech Pathologist.. ☺ ♠Mr.G..

he left her by the river because he was out walking and saw her with another man making out in a car down there and realized she would never actually be his(seemed like Mary was very close to him and he was her best friend but she didn't have feelings for him in a romantic way, but he was completely in love with her)...there is a part II video that goes into more details and gives you a better answer as to what actually happens...IMO, Mary committed suicide after realizing there was nothing she could do to get him back and he was out of her life for good(as seen in part II). You can see her with the scarf down by the river with a distraught look on her face seemingly having tears streaming down her face looking like she was going to jump in this video...

def one of his best

the song is about a man who took a woman, who he was about to dump, to the river. he let her down, she felt horrible, he left, and she died. now he feels like he is responsible for her death. not directly, but by his guilt.

He's not guilty. The sheriff did it. He torched the trailer and killed the girl. The last frames show that.

👍🏽

@00:06:05 Cop remembers his guilt: The video shows the inside of his police car as he is chasing after her, and she is running to get away from him.

There is a 2nd part video, there it is clearly the sheriff who is obsessed with Mary and I think he is the culprit, if you look at the patrol in the video one Mary runs out in one scene and in the river there is a close-up and The section is seen in negative, there you clearly see that it is the sheriff, Mary refused to have anything with him that is why he murdered her and blamed Richard...here I leave the video of the 2nd part! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h6lgl9CmuL-wnac.html&start_radio=1 el policia es el actor Robert Conrad

Traumatized as a kid by his Father leaving to be with another woman(maybe after seeing his Mother cheating with another man), then sees his Mother in bed with another man and is so upset he sets fire to the house with them inside it...now that I think of it...it shows what happens when Marx feels like he has been betrayed by a woman in his life...he gets revenge...first on his Mother for causing his Father to leave then possibly on Mary for "cheating" on him(even tho I think Mary saw their relationship as simply platonic friendship, Marx likely was head over heels in love with her but she didn't feel that wayabout him)

I think it’s cool that you think he did it. The song was never meant to absolve the narrator. The narrator could be unreliable. He either lived a traumatic life and was a victim throughout the story or he did do things he won’t admit to or can’t come to terms with.

The Sheriff did it and blamed him...

Richard Max? You mean Richard Marx.

Dude pay attention to the video. It's the sheriff that killed her.

He left her by the river then saw her later on in a car with another man.Im pretty sure she either was sleeping with the cop or he was obsessed with her he used the scarf he lost to strangle her he was not guilty.

He left her by the river because he saw her with another man and ran away from her

The cop was the guilty one, because he was stalking her. The cop approached his car to find the lady and guy making out. He (the cop) was the guilty one. The other guy took off, when he saw the cops car approaching. His scarf got caught in the tree. The cop was jealous of seeing her with another man and used the other guys scarf to Strangle her to death and frame the other guy. When the officer was interrogating the younger man, he accused him of being jealous as a motive of strangling her. He himself was the real jealous one and was exposing his own guilt (trying to put it on to the other guy). The younger guy, when he was a kid (about 7 years old) was only guilty of starting a fire to his mom's home when he saw her in bed with a guy other than his father, after his father left them for another woman. It's all in the video. I missed it at first as well, because I listening to the music and not so much looking at what was happening in the video. There's a lot happening in the video. It's not easy to get it all in one watch. It takes a lot of listening and watching, or it's easy to miss the details.

It's just unfortunate that Richard Marx's signature song is the sappy "Right Here Waiting" because he's got so many better song than that one.

Mary was stupid to not hit that, dude was hot Sorry
