@lauriwest435 2 жыл бұрын

This was a very iconic song for hubby's and my relationship. We had been acquaintances for many years, both had been married and divorced, I actually babysat his kids for a little while!! Fast forward to mid-summer of 1997... we reconnected after no contact for two whole years!! THAT started a great friendship, we saw each other almost daily starting at the end August. Long story short... he took a big risk on November 5, 1997!! As I was leaving from our evening of watching E.R. or whatever was on that night, he literally grabbed my hand, pulled me back in his apartment, pushed me (GENTLY) against the door and proceeded to kiss me!! It was what we both had wanted to do but we were each thinking the other only wanted to be friends. We just celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary at the end of August. 💜💜💜 It was this song playing on the radio just before we met that evening that prompted him... then he felt that I was hesitant to leave like I wanted to say something. That kiss was the most pleasant surprise ever!! We both knew we should be together, but prior heartaches almost stopped us... so glad he faced his fear!! GREAT reaction, by the way!!!

We are now grandparents in our mid/late 50's, our kids don't use the word 'step' in front of brother or sister because they really grew up together.

@@kenqb5450 i found a live 157 Riverside Avenue that runs 10 minutes, including a bass solo from Bruce Hall. Sheer beauty. Of course, what's fun about 157 Riverside Avenue is that you get to compare all three singers. There's video of Terry Luttrell (vocals, 1st album) and of Mike Murphy (vocals, albums 3-5) out there, as well as Cronin (2nd album, then albums 6 and on, after the record company insisted the band re-hire him). So you get a nice mix.

I am a man and I understand this song perfectly. I used to be popular in college and had tons of girls as friends. But there was one or two that I was afraid to date for fear that they might not reciprocate. And also my parents were divorced and I did not want to hurt theses girls. My mom had two terrible marriages so I did not believe in relationships. It had also happened to me once before that in high school and it hurt really badly. Although I did end up dating her 2 years after that. So it was worth the risk.
