His voice is strong and sensual and has a longing to it that makes you believe the story he is telling. Rick does a very nice job covering this song. This song has moved up on my list of favorites, though. Now if the children's parents were splitting up, or one of the siblings was pregnant and contemplating suicide, well maybe :-P There are points of references that are very much Rick - Frank Sinatra (who he mentioned on Larry King Live), The Beatles, and John F Kennedy (who he mentions in My Depression). Now the question, is this a song RickĬould have written? I just don't feel it. His voice is so smooth and the song totally flows. I also like Rick's recorded version much better than the original. My favorite part of the song during the live performance is when he yells "get back". He gives this song some real energy doing it live. It's definitely the first song from TDAY that I heard him perform that I really felt like he was wanting to perform it. It's funny how Rick can do that for a song.

Then I heard Rick perform it lived and everything changed (kind of like Jesus Saves). This did not stand out as one of my favorites either when listening to the cd. One thing that sticks out totally for me is the way in the original song they say "the children drunk lemonade", and Rick changed it to "drank". I did get a copy of the 45 single and listened to that. I honestly don't remember ever hearing this song until I heard it on I could listen to just this one for hours. (nope, it wasn't Rick - but that's another story) Later when I reflected the moment, I realized she is now at the same age as I when I discovered my first teen idol. He sounds soooo good on this song." I just smiled at her, a bit taken aback by this statement. I just know now why you love Rick Springfield. I turn off the car, and she gets out sighing. We had a short time until we were home, so the song had just ended as we pulled up the driveway. So I obliged, and popped the CD in while we were driving in the car. For a minute, I had no idea what she was talking about, until she started singing the chorus. So imagine my surprise one day when she asked to hear this song specifically. Now, I try to not push Rick's music on my children - and in fact they are so *not* into Rick Springfield that they usually request that I do NOT play any of his stuff while they are within earshot. This song also happens to be a favorite of my daughter's. I love seeing him break out the acoustic guitar, and wish he could continue on with a few more of his songs with that before he put it away. I'm so happy he decided to start performing this one live. The words, telling a story (and I just love the story songs) sound as if Rick could've written them. The chords are just right for Rick's voice. I loved this song when it was originally released, and didn't realize I missed it so much until TDAY. Now this one, I love! I think this has to be my favorite on this CD. Rick started performing this in concert on Augat the show in Hampton Beach.įootnote - background photo was taken in Red Bank, NJ on 8/19/06 by Renata Hearn Song Facts: This can be found on The Day After Yesterday.
