More about this title

About the Artist: Richard Marx

Richard Marx emerged as a defining voice of 1980s pop rock, blending sophisticated songwriting with accessible melodies that connected across radio formats. His work as both performer and composer established him as a craftsman of emotional ballads and uptempo pop-rock anthems, with particular skill in crafting vocal lines that sit naturally in the contemporary voice.

Why we love this

This song sits in that sweet spot where pop-rock accessibility meets genuine emotional depth, giving singers a piece that feels current and singable without sacrificing musicality. The piano/vocal/chords format gives accompanying pianists real agency in shaping the arrangement, and the progression and melody are strong enough to sustain repeated rehearsal and performance.

What to expect

The song radiates the polished emotionality of 1980s-90s adult contemporary pop rock, with a melody that hooks immediately and lyrics that speak to connection and vulnerability. There's an earnestness here, a sense of intimate confession delivered with professional craft and production sensibility.

Who it's for

This piece works well for high school and community singers looking for contemporary material with real substance, as well as for music theater students building contemporary song repertoire. Pianists will appreciate a part that is musically engaging without being technique-prohibitive, making it suitable for accompanying singers in lessons, recitals, or informal performances.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the vocal line against the piano part so the text remains clear; this song's emotional arc depends on lyrical clarity as much as melodic purity.
  • Work the dynamic shape carefully with your accompanist, building intensity through the verse and allowing space for the chorus to expand naturally.
  • Consider the tempo relationship between sections; slight flexibility in the verse can enhance intimacy before settling into a more driving chorus feel.
  • Pay attention to vowel consistency on sustained notes, especially in the chorus, to maintain tone quality across the song's full range.

How to use it

Program this in a contemporary music concert or mixed recital where you want to bridge classical and popular repertoire; it pairs well with other adult contemporary material or as a counterpoint to musical theater selections. The song's emotional directness makes it an excellent choice for a student recital or showcase where you want pieces that demonstrate both technical control and interpretive maturity.

Skills your students will build

  • Singing with consistent tone across contemporary vocal ranges
  • Shaping phrase dynamics in pop-rock contexts
  • Coordinating vocal expression with piano accompaniment
  • Interpretation of music written in the recording idiom (understanding studio arrangement conventions as a foundation for live performance)
