Phyliss Hyman- "Old Friend"

Words can not describe how much I love this song. I remember the year it came out (86) I had just met the women who would be my lover&friend for the next 5 yrs thought I would marry her but things didn't work out and everytime I hear this song I think of her, so of course I heard it today such a beautiful song one of Phyliss's best anyway hope ya'll feelin this one.

I absolutely love this song! This is arguably Phyllis Hyman's best song.How can anyone not be moved by this song? It's gorgeous,and the lyrics are incredible,especially the bridge...


Yes,I've tried to live my life without you
knowing I had lost my closest friend
and though I'm feeling low from time to time
knowing I will never find
the kind of love I had when you were mine



music

I get a warm,yet sad,feeling when I hear this song sad

Preach!!! That bridge kills me everytime. It's that part of the song that reminds me of her. I can't take credit for this. But I remember someone saying that music is the soundtrack of our lives. So true.

I Love her Philadelphia years, and especially this song. Although i prefer her more uptempo stuff, this one is among my favorite Phyllis Hyman tracks.

I don't think I can listen to it without tearing up. I indeed had an old friend who use to sing and play this song on piano. It's one of my favorite songs by her.
Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off

This song was a tribute to ITS writer, the late Ms.Linda Creed(who was a close friend to Phyllis) which is the last song written by her.

Its haunting.
