Sedaka, Neil - The Hungry Years Lyrics

The feels of the lyrics & his singing, my that tugged the heart, brings tears to a grown man! 😢😓

Truly perfection. Makes me cry every time I play it. Tears just spring from nowhere. Magical

One complaint: "I _know_ hunger for?" They don't write 'em---or sing 'em---like this anymore.

Look inside my tear's😪

with all the clowns in the rock and roll hall of fame.how in God`s name is this man not in?

I love this song as much now as I did the first time I heard it.I suffered a lot of Hungry yrs & I don't mean just food. Mr. SEDACA this still is one of my favorite songs. Any time I can relate to the lyrics of a song it is worth listening to. U r a great songwriter.

A great artist a great song

A song from my childhood,and STILL the most beautiful song and words i have ever heard !!!

I love this song so much, thanks for posting it (hugs). May 20/18.

its been my life exactly like this thought that business was everything and we had a business so we did not need another but the stress it brought on us and other things ?now we have nothing no happiness no love no fun is all gone in one mad decision so song says it all

This song reminds me of the first few years of married life it has now been 38 years wonderful this song is poignant

The best slow ...of Neil Sedaka

A very touching song,splendid!

So many the song's but this will always be my favourite.

The things that we were after...were much better from afar

Everything we wanted..was everything we had...

Honey take me home... let's go back to yesterday..!

Marilou...My favorite line in this song...This song is now the story of my life...Sad sometimes where life leads you...

Yes..and i love this song very much wil... its very sad

The MMMMOST beautifiul song Neil had ever made I believe!

Great song, to view your own life......

Everything we wanted was everything we had. OMG so very very true

we hear about burt bacharach and hal david brilliant writing skills but neil sedaka writing and composing is truely subline.Hungry years just brilliant

Its been a long year, wish we could could go back to yesterday miss you honey see you soon

Everything we wanted was everything we had

Beautiful.Song .

looking through my tears.💖Fantastic....

Neil Sedaka is unbelievable. A national treasure!

I am in tears now, this is so poignant at the moment in my life. Thank you Mr Sedaka

reminds me of a a wonderful lady gone

reminds me too of a wonderful lady also gone. great memories of her though, of 35 years ago!

so emotional.

great bit of songwriting

spiritually uplifting .. thanks for the memories...

in my opinion he wrote and sang some of his best songs in the seventies,like this great one !

@wagbelt Neil said in his autobiography that,  he was inspired by Sonny and Cher, whose career together had romance, talent, success, drama, ambition, ...... and eventually tragedy.

@tunefultony johnson wow

Wow, well done, thanks for a great show as well as some great memories. That IS the best thing he has done and that is saying something with all he has done, so much great music, (and just by him) so little time. Good score but have to feel for the 1 with the weak wrist that can't hold up the thumb. Thanks again, j

Just Wonderful...moving and well written

So true

just lyrical perfection. Too beautiful x

It would be so nice to MISS the hungry years...

how can human write this ?! unbeliveble

This just too heartbreaking . A masterclass in how to write a song

What a GREAT posting!! Sedaka fan since 1975.

Such a moving song plus a nice video equals 2 THUMBS UP!

A truly beautiful song, and yes, its one of those that comes once in a lifetime.

This is my prefered song by Sedaka, because it is a perfect one, the kind you'll only write once in your lifetime. Sedaka wrote several very good songs, but this one is just out of sight.
