      Me too. I like most of his songs, almost all, and it was so nice the 80's ( I know he started in 70's) but the 80's are the top still are...and this singer knew how to go older very well, he really is one rare that looks super, for his age and no plastics, or not exagerated which seems to be a problem, for others. They do so many and start at such younger age, that when they reach 50 the face looks horrible instead of nice.

    When I was pregnant with my daughter, this song always came up on the drive to work, and she would kick kick kick in the womb. When she was born, knowing then we had an hour, maybe two before she would die, we played this song to her. It’s Sophie’s song. She died of a complex heart condition in September 2020 and the line “you stole my heart and that’s what really hurts” really connects us to the song. I cry whenever this is played.

    After my mom got diagnosed with lung cancer, I brought my gigstar karaoke machine over. She sung this song. I still have the video. She finally passed two and a half years after her diagnosis. She fought so damn hard... This video, and song I will always cherish, because I know just how many times her very ears have heard it and love it. I try to put myself in those exact moments somehow when I listen...

    "Maggie May" is more than just another song; it holds a sentimental place in my heart. The nostalgic opening guitar riff, coupled with Rod Stewart's soulful vocals, transports me back to the carefree days of my youth. The lyrics perfectly capture the unrequited love and coming-of-age experiences that many of us can relate to.
    This song showcases Rod Stewart's undeniable talent. The combination of his raspy yet melodic voice, the energetic guitar solos, and the infectious rhythm creates an unforgettable listening experience. The folk-inspired melodies seamlessly blend with rock elements, making "Maggie May" a true masterpiece of musical craftsmanship.

That being said at Daniel 2:1 those asleep in the dust of the earth will wake up Romans 4:17 God makes the Dead Alive acts 24:15 there is going to be a resurrection. So our almighty God has given us the scriptures to assure us of better times to come for instance Ecclesiastes 1:4 the Earth remains forever Isaiah 65:25 the lion will eat straw just like the bull. Psalms 3:29 the righteous will possess the Earth and they will live forever on it. for more information go to jw.org

      Well I see the guitar, you can always start a rock-and-roll band.

    Reminds me of 6th grade. I knew a girl named Maggie. We were not dating but we were friends because she was my girlfriend's friend. I remember when I was with my girlfriend and Maggie was there I would always think of this song. I still talk to her through facebook.

    My dad loved this song and I hated it. I was 10 or so and in the car when Maggie came on I always fast-forward the song.. Years later I began to like the song. To bad my dad ain't here anymore. We would listen to it together. He never new that one day I liked the song... I'll play it again, maybe he is listening 🙏

      I was the same age when I first heard this song and my mom loved it and I also secretly liked it but would not admit it! Also miss her and wish we could sing it together now and I could tell her she really did have great taste in music!

      It is called being mature. Comes sooner or later. But you have to accept life as it comes in installments . It does not present itself in full at once. Good thing too!!! We'd give up!

    When this record came out I went to a record shop to buy it as a present for a friend. I came home with the album ‘Every Picture Tells A Story’ as well. I still got it.
