Firefall's best and most meaningful son (and biggest hit) was *Just Remember I Love You*, also from the mid-70s. Without spoiling it, it has a few aspects that Amber will love, but even J will like it. 👂❤ By the way, those short violin notes that J mentioned are called "staccato" when played like that on any instrument. Those short duration, quick notes are staccato.

Firefall is from Boulder, CO. The lead singer (Rick Roberts) spent time with The Flying Burrito Brothers. They are a very cool soft rock 70's band. A favorite of mine by them is "So Long" from their second album (Luna Sea) "You can say most anything you want to. I'll just say 'so long'."

Remember this from high school, graduated in'81, and groups like this just sadly disappeared. As someone else similar said about Pablo Cruise. If you look into who played in these groups you can see where they went. Same can be said for people who went solo in the 70's like Jim Capaldi and Ian Gomm. This music was so good then. You should also check out early Dan Fogelberg As The Raven Flies.

GenX here. Listen to all genres. These types of bands in the 70s were great to listen to around the campfires and cabin parties. We were the young hooligans that would hang out just outside of eyesight and listen to what the adults were listening to. We got to listen to a lot of good jams and then we would go through our older siblings' records and pick out the songs and jam the 45s while trying not to kill ourselves in basements and garages boxing each other. Still waiting to hear you react to Sevendust. A band you've never reacted to in the two years plus of this channel.

Very wild compared to the studio version, everybody went crazy. And the flute was supercharged.The drummer was beating on the Bongo drums and then one of the other guys came and started giving on another set of bongos And another guy came in with a saxophone..It Was an incredible Performance. They must have jammed the breakdown for about 15 minutes. It was So much fun Anyway they're alive and well I would next recommend " It doesn't matter" It's a banger.
