    country music is what Dan Seals has given us, it spells out the human situation good or bad, not the necessarily the bill of goods thats being marketed today. Where have all of the real troubadors gone, we miss you Dan…

    Is Jennifer Warnes singing back up on this song?

    thanks for sharing your talent with us

  8. PTCello Says:

    I like both those songs better as well. If you have time, you might look up Paul Overstreet’s music.

    You are absolutely right that justice and mercy are opposites. The two are only resolved on the cross, where Christ, in His mercy, pays the full penalty demanded by God’s justice for my sin.

    Personal mercy, official justice.

    I prefer songs like “They Rage On” or “Addicted”, where it is hard not to identify with the struggles of the characters, and almost impossible to judge them. That’s the beauty of country music, is it not?

  10. PTCello Says:

    Without disagreeing, I’ll add this: Justice is not good or bad, it is only justice. Mercy is, by definition, NOT “justice” because the word implies witholding deserved consequences.
    In this scene, the man is allowing his personal beliefs-at least at that moment- to override his professional obligation, which is the poignant theme of the whole song.

  11. dragknuckle Says:

    You raise an interesting point, one which really reveals defines the difference between liberals and conservatives.

    A conservative sees mercy as an inherently personal trait, one to be extended by people at their own personal expense. Mercy applied by government officials is seen as antithetical to justice, since you are being merciful at the expense of others.

    True compassion would have moved the guard to actually help the girl on his own time, rather than refusing to do his duty.

    I grew to love CW music when Dan Seals sang it. He was a special artist – something poured out of him that touched my heart. Sorry he’s gone too soon.

    I care. Got it? Got it there, PTCello? Maybe, you should just go and twittle your fingers, or whatever you do or are you that coordinated? . :) I don’t care what path you take . Really!! I’m baaaaack!!!!….:)
    Sorry to hear about Dan’s passing…..

    Mr Seals was one of my favorite singers. I began following him when his name was England Dan. I got to see him when he was getting started and then as a great solo artist. A few years ago my wife and I saw him when he reunited with his brother and became part of the Seals Brothers. I have his music and the concert memories. Thank-you Dan for sharing them and allowing me to be a part of your musical journey which ended to soon.

    God Bless you

    ….As under-appreciated as his message, under-appreciated was his music , until it’s gone. Maybe now, those of us that would normally throw stones will instead give homage to one of the greatest musician legends of our day. And instead, be grateful of what we had, and always we will be….

  19. PTCello Says:

    I can’t understand why this debate is raging. Who cares? This song is about mercy, about the conflict between Law and Love, which often happens… Which of us whould choose which path? How do you know until it happens?
    It’s a great song, and it came from a great Heart.God bless you, Dan…

  20. Cocodawg3000pwn Says:

    On that, we can surely agree. It is truly a sad day for country music fans- a truly, sad day.

  21. Bokcani Says:

    Sad news for country music fans: Daniel Wayland Seals, the Texas-born, CMA-award-winning singer who piled up 11 No. 1 songs between 1985 and 1990, passed away yesterday after a battle with mantle cell lymphoma. Initially known to pop fans as the “England Dan” half of England Dan and John Ford Coley, who had a No. 2 single in 1976 with the soft-rocking classic “I’d Really Love to See You Tonight,” he went on to forge an impressive solo career in Nashville.

  22. ramblingdude2008 Says:

    Don’t talk about YOUR comments like that, Bokcani…. :) I mean to say that your comments are just a little dumb, IMO

  23. meml9571 Says:

    is this song christian?

  24. ramblingdude2008 Says:

    Bockani,
    I was wondering if you got permission from Dan Seals to post these videos. Or, are they an illegal posting on YouTube? Please let me know, cuz I woundn’t want to be breaking FEDERAL COPYRIGHT LAWS by watching your videos. I’m waiting…:)! Also, Bockani, PLEASE KEEP THOSE THUMBS DOWN COMING!! I LOOOOVE IT!!! HA HA HA HA HA AHHHHHH!!! In fact, I hereby order all you liberals to give me a thumbs down. NOW!

  25. ramblingdude2008 Says:

    Oh, btw, I do understand what you ARE trying to do with this video. You are pimping a “bleeding heart” ideology. Nice try on your attempt to deflect your true intents/ideology , though…. :) And, “you’re welcome” for my comments…. :)
