i used to live in fort bragg,CA in 1972 And my dad would play this song on 8 track in our car, Its funny we were loud kids me and my brother but when he played this song it went dead quiet, Ive always been memmorized by this song. It just reminds me of my childhood what great times. I wish I could go back to those days i miss them very much!

As a boy, he first heard the story of a ghost horse rescuing people in the desert from his grandfather. Years later, Murphey had a dream about this ghost horse and wrote the words and music the same day with songwriter Larry Cansler.

I don't know how anybody could hear this song and not be moved by the emotional content and the story that is told. It is one of the finest songs from one of the most under-rated performers in American music history.

When I was a kid I used to listen to my aunt Ruthie's 45 rpm records, and I wore this song out on her record player. I just came home from her funeral today (she was only 47) and I thought about this song the whole 3 hour ride back home. I love this song...and I love you Ruthie....I'll miss you. Love Always, Pete

I grew up in Fort Bragg, CA. Sometime in 1975 MY dad was driving us home, I'm sure my brother and I were getting On his last nerve, And he slipped in his 8 Track of Micheal murphy martin,And I remember the song Wildfire came to play and it became dead silent. The funny thing is I am older now than my dad was back then, And i am still playing this song, I miss him so much!

My Mother died July 30,1975, I was only 20yrs old with a new baby, I heard this song, it reminded me of her that moment on. After all these years I still wish when the phone rings it would be her. But I do hear her at nights when it is dark and not a sound in my house. I feel her brush her hand across my face even today while laying in the bed. I'm sure there are many out there know what I mean.

I loooooove this song. It takes me back to Jr. high (the late 70's). The piano is beautiful at the beginning and the end as well as the entire song. The video is great too. I used to have a horse named "Pirate". We rescued it from an old abandoned ranch and it had lost an eye on an old rusty fence. We had it until it died 8 years later. This song always brings him back. Great job. Thanks Kristi.

Makes me think of a girl I dated briefly then.Nothing ever came of it. I hope she is doing well. I married another girl I met about the same time..We celebrated our thirty-third anniversary last year...Lot's of challenges and hard times but also moments of sublime beauty.
