You’re listening to Sound Flave Radiae Applis Stuudio Hall! Today’s Topic Candi Staton Young Hearts Run FreeSound Flave! The Podcast sound! Radiae Applis!I’ve been hearing Candi Staton’s song Young Hearts Run Free most of my life and always believed in the song. I first heard it when I was a little girl and understood the lyrics. I knew that Candi was singing her life experience. Candi was singing about the hurt and the pain. The music made me tap my feet, but the words were acted out by some people around me. That’s what made me pay attention. Candi Staton was also singing the lives of others. Men and women fighting all of the time, but staying together forever with children. Married couples cheating on one another. In those days, I didn’t know what divorce was and the woman alone and the man dropped in and out.That’s when I understoodWhat's the sense in sharing, this one and only lifeEndin' up, just another lost and lonely wifeYou'll count up the years, and they will be filled with tearsLove only breaks up, to start over againYou'll get the baby, but you won't have your manWhile he is busy loving every woman that he can, uh-huhSay I'm gonna leave a hundred times a dayIt's easier said than doneWhen you just can't break awayIn those days when I heard a song, I only heard the music. But for some reason, I could hear Candi’s words through her music. As I got older, I understood more.It's high time now just one crack at lifeWho wants to live in, in trouble and strifeMy mind must be free, to learn all I can about meWhat I learned growing up was marriage was forever. You had responsibilty. It could get in the way of you doing things in life that you always wanted to do. I would argue with my parents and tell them I was never going to be married. But that’s just the way that I felt and still feel unless my feelings change. How do you feel? To me, it’s more than a thought."Young Hearts Run Free" is a disco song written by David Crawford and originally recorded by soul singer Candi Staton in 1976. The song spent a week at number one on the Hot Soul Singles chart. It also peaked at number twenty on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Young Hearts Run Free" was one of only two songs by Staton to reach the top 10 on the UK singles chart. In 1999 Candi Staton recorded a new dance version of "Young Hearts Run Free". It peaked at #29 in the UK.I’m Gail Nobles. Today’s topic, Candi Staton. Young Hearts Run Free.
