Yes, I'm aware that my blog is supposed to be humorous - what are you trying to say?. hang on, I'm getting a call from my agent. I'm sure we all have lost loves of whom we often think, wondering how our lives would be had things only worked out differently. Just apply it to whatever personal situation you want to think of. I don't care that the rest of the song makes very little sense and thus there is no context in which to place it. What does it say about this song that I have literally no idea whether the last line should contain the word "were" or "we're"?Īnd I meant, every word I said / When I said that I love you I meant that I love you foreverĪctually, this lyric is not bad, just awesome. So, so tired.Īnd though I know all about those men / Still I don't remember / Cause it was us baby, way before then / And we're still together And what are we talking about here? I'm tired.
I had no clue Cronin sang this here, but now every time I hear this part of the song I will giggle. You played dead / But you never bled / Instead you lay still in the grass / All coiled up and hissin' Still a little dicey on the details though. So, this song is definitely about a relationship gone bad. This is kind of vaguely threatening taken on its own. You should've known by the tone of my voice, maybe / But you didn't listen It is definitely not about wanting to have sex all night, which meaning is what I had initially hoped for. However, after reading and re-reading the two verses, I can honestly say that I really don't know what this is supposed to be about. When I started this post I could only really remember the chorus, and I was going to have such a good time making Viagra jokes (always comedy gold) and warning Kevin Cronin that he should potentially see a doctor, as I am wont to do.
I want to say right off the bat that this song is just entirely incoherent. You should've seen by the look in my eyes, baby / There was somethin' missin' Also, can anyone tell me what game the two band members are playing at about the 1:15 mark? It looks sort of fun. It was truly a miracle.First of all, check out this video and tell me that Kevin Cronin (who now apparently favors short spiky dyed-blond hair over this shaggy afro) doesn't look like some kind of goofy love child of Andy Samberg and Michael Showalter. I still remember it as that heartfelt little song I wrote in the middle of a long night, which came to life the next afternoon. I had no idea that ‘Keep on Loving You’ would take us on such a wild ride. “When you first write a song, you have no idea where that song will go. I love that first Fogelberg album, and still play it often.”Ĭronin said he never could have predicted what that song would do for the band, which had already released five albums with Cronin out front. I would sneak in and listen as Dan was cutting tracks with Norbert and his band of Nashville cats. We were making REO/TWO at CBS Studios in Nashville, and Fogelberg was recording his first album down the street at Norbert Putnam’s Quadraphonic Studio. “Dan and REO were both managed by Irving Azoff, who would go on to rule the world. “That foreverrrr was actually me channeling Danny Fogelberg,” he said. But none come to mind at the moment.”Ĭronin’s Chicago accent was at the fore on this tune, especially when he sang the line When I said that I loved you, I meant that I love you foreverrrr. That likely got the attention of other rock bands who were having difficulty getting their records played on Top 40 radio. ‘Keep on Loving You’ is often credited with being the first ‘power ballad,’ but I suspect there were others before it. All I know is our record went to number one on the Billboard charts, and put REO Speedwagon on the map.

As far as being as power ballad pioneer, Cronin doesn’t necessarily want to take full credit.
