More about this title

About the Artist: Richard Marx

Richard Marx built his career on crafting pop-rock songs with memorable melodies and emotionally direct lyrics. His work across the 1980s and 1990s established him as a skilled songwriter and vocalist, with particular strength in ballads that resonated across adult contemporary and rock radio formats.

Why we love this

This song sits squarely in the adult contemporary wheelhouse, making it ideal for singers who want to develop control and nuance in a contemporary pop-rock idiom. The piano/vocal/chords format gives students and accompanists flexibility to interpret the arrangement while maintaining the core melodic identity that makes the song work.

What to expect

The song carries the earnest, reflective tone characteristic of adult contemporary rock. Melodically accessible and harmonically grounded, it invites intimate delivery rather than bombast, allowing the performer to connect directly with the emotional content.

Who it's for

Vocalists preparing contemporary pop-rock repertoire for recitals, auditions, or cabaret settings will find a song that sits comfortably in the middle voice and rewards expressive phrasing. Pianists and music students studying adult contemporary songwriting can use this chart to understand how melody, harmony, and lyric work together in commercial pop idioms.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the vocal line against the piano accompaniment so the lyrical content remains clear; avoid letting either element disappear into the texture.
  • Pay attention to phrase length and breathing points, especially if the melody extends across expected bar lines.
  • Use the chord symbols to explore harmonic substitutions or variations in accompaniment that suit your interpretation without undermining the song's emotional arc.

How to use it

Include this in a contemporary repertoire set alongside other pop-rock standards, or use it as a bridge piece in a recital that mixes genres. It works equally well as a teaching tool for understanding how pop songwriting balances accessibility with emotional substance.

Skills your students will build

  • singing through sustained phrases in a contemporary pop idiom
  • interpreting chord symbols in real time
  • balancing vocal production with piano accompaniment
  • phrasing and breath control across a melody-driven song
