Cochrane, Tom - Wish You Well Lyrics

Thanks, Tom. Great tune.

Years ago a girlfriend dumped me. This song captured my feelings exactly. Tom rocks, but also writes some damn good lyrics.

Einfach ein schöner Rock-Song!!Super!!

sorry i miss doughless steven thill

This song was so cathartic for me as I went through my WORST ... MOST INTENSE love affair.

Love u Camille.

One of my fav feel good songs...

Rest easy Leanne my angel

a great rocker from a great canuck

Yeppers EH!!

Thanks, Tom. Good song.

Nice song

too bad the yankees don't get to listen to tom....fuck em. we have our guys, they get manudo

he whistles the wind

underrated performer that us canucks get to enjoy at the loss of the americans.

Don't know why, as I know he was born in Winnipeg and I loved 25+ years in Lower Mainland, now I live in Alberta, where I am going with this is.......When I miss home (lower mainland) I listen to Tom as it brings me back home....feels like there is so much West Coast in his music....a real LEGEND in my eyes and in my heart!!!!!

Love this song. Saw Tom in concert but his sound quit half way through this song and I was disappointed.

You might find a brighter day !!! But I doubt it :-))

I love him!!!!! Timeless

Makes me think of people you are there for, when they lacked confidence, not once but twice and the two times you fall down, they can't or just won't be there for you, even as friends...you are broken to them and even being a friend, is not an option. They apologize for treating you like a freak, then they go and then they go back and do the exact same thing. This, is about finally recognizing someone for who they truly are, like you cant be mad at a shark for being a shark if they attack you while swimming in their world, same can be said about people, you cant be mad at them, but you can cut them out of your life forever, like they are dead to you. You dont want anything bad to happen to them, but you never want to see or hear from them again...their apologies and begging for forgiveness...they never truly were sorry and they never truly wanted to be forgiven, they just wanted to convince themselves they werent or aren't a bad person...uh, yeah...if they say it enough times, like a lie, to them it can turn into the truth. Hell, animals get treated better...twice...chalk it up to another mistake that should've never happened...yeah, "He's a freak". If anyone has read this far, for some people having a seizure or depression...you are POS to them and in truth, though they won't admit it out loud, they want you to ask them for forgiveness for your flaws....they claim to having found God and still have this mentality...you are there for them, literally, lift them up, when they were barely making a living and lacked the confidence to strike out on their own to cut their cost of living for them and their family, taking two steps back to go three steps forward, help them focus on and then believe, how smart and dynamic they still are, to go back to an industry they used to thrive, but the amount of years away from it, left them riddled with self-doubts, but do the 180 shuffle and you come to them for the same thing and its, did you say something? I'm sorry, I'm busy, I can't focus on your problems, you just need to overcome...fair enough, they got what they wanted from you...like I said about sharks, you can't be mad at them for biting you, they're a shark, duh...that was no carbird seat I was writing about...I was sitting on an ejection seat. You have no idea about the concept of love...either as a lover or a friend. I don't know if you are a truly bad person or just bad at being human or a mix, narcissist light, you, you and you...like your mom ...good luck and never, ever reach out to me again

The road our old friend's cabin was on had the same name as the album. And it really was a ragged ass road. Wonder if this is where it got the name from..

It is a road in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.

Chez I have seen that road before its ragged 😉

great song

I love this song and to you all I wish you well!:).

Wishing you well too!

Same here!!

Tom Cochrane is a Canadian treasure.

This song was Number one in Canada the day I was born. Perfect song for it!

Around the time I started regularly watching the Muchmusic Countdown, it was #1.

I wish you well Kyla!

tom Cochrane knocks em out of the park - hit after hit

OH MY MY BABY ....... I wish you well xxxxxxxxxxx

good lyrics ,time wounds all heals!

There was a pretty good vid for this song but I can never find it...great song from a great album from a great singer/song writer...Tom is Canadiana at it's very best.

Richard Cameron 0

Richard Cameron OP kip
.llll)lllllllll)llllll

so funny my brother's name is Rick Cameron!

I love Tom and just came across this song

His stuff is 99 great

Beautiful, Amazing, Magnificent

this whole album is great

"Hot as a hammer she wants me" ... Classic! Love this song.

fuckin hit !!!!! great song !!!!

And in another year...yeah.

He p[layed an industry gig here in Ottawa and I was lucky enough not only to meet him but to have a chat, I discussed Pablo Neruda with him (I read his work after hearing Tom talk about him). He was kind, generous and a true Canadian. Still digging him after all these years (after hearing "Don't Fight It" when it first got radio play).

What happenned to the official vid for this amazing song?

Why choose?

I've got Cochrane and Springsteen next to each other in my rotation. It works.

Saw him back in his Red Rider days in Calgary - great musician.

bruce sucks who the fuck made him the boss america sucks from bc canada!!!!

I agree! Calls himself ‘The Boss’ Didn’t he leave his wife for a back up singer? Tom is much classier & better music by far

I watched the Junos' last night and he got Humanitarian of the year award. As talented as he is he never let it all go to his head. He is a wonderful man you can tell by just listening to him speak and in his music. He has so much talent to brag about but doesn't. Very likeable and humble.
,

Not to mention he has a thousand times the vocal talent that Bruce has, LOL.

Tom does get the respect he deserves from all his truly devoted fans. He didn't gain he popularity of many lesser U.S. musicians, but he is loved in his home country of Canada. I'm glad that Tom & Red Rider survived "Breaking Curfew" and went on to perform more great songs in the albums that followed.

R.I.P. John my brother

I hear you.. Not "one of" for me, but "THE biggest..." sigh.. and it's been just about exactly a year...

Ya he doesnt grab his nuts or scratch a record backwards...its R&R

clas·sic (klsk)

c. Having lasting significance or worth; enduring.

@barbarossa971 Helped me get over one of the biggest loves in my life. I hear this song now and absolutely smile at the thought of my ex and do nothing but...wish him well...truly. TC is THE man!

I have seen him countless times and he is a true artist in every sense of the word. and humble to boot. One of my all time favourites to toe tap to.

Love Tom...what an artist!!

I still wish you well Melissa.

I would say Bruce Springsteen is the American Tom Cochrain. Tom deserves way mor recognition and respect then he got. He is just simply Brilliant, hands down.

Favorite Cochrane songs of all time!

@Shanoah15 The problem is that the American record companies are too picky about Canadians. Gordon Lightfoot performed on the same stage when Bob Dylan went electric. Bryan Adams had the advantage of writing for popular American musicians and that he lived in the Vancouver area So both musicians got head starts.

I saw Bryan Adams's house in Vancouver along the shore line..Salmon pinkish colour..quite nice..watched the pool guys doing their job maintaining..just passing by ..by the side of the road..

This was our grade 12 grad song...

That's wonderful!! AWW!!

shout out to my friend lisa, wish you well.

such a canadian classic, will never die...thanks Tom

Another great Tom Cochrane song. Don't pass up the chance to see him and concert!!

Tom Cochrane is our Canadian Classic Leader of music !!!💗💗💗

god bless TC!!!

Under rated singer songwriter - love the lyrics, one of my all time favourites.

Should have been TOP CANADIAN SINGER of his time! not enough credit given to Canadian content!!!!

@JrockOnt I agree. Although, there will never be another Bruce Springsteen! But, in terms of songwriting ability and musical style I think he is up there with the BOSS for sure.

Tom's a fantastic singer and songwriter. The definition of "integrity". This is his best album. No insult intended, but I don't get Bruce's popularity. Most of his stuff I can't listen to.

I agree! Tom is waaayyyyyy better in my opinion.

@KISSANIMALIZE No, Bruce is special. Nobody can match "The Boss". This song is great though.

I love his music!

@r3n3gade420 you are so right. (:

the best part of this song 2:43

@WashICH1 Same thing with "Ain't Gonna Crawl" Can't understand why it's not up. I'm no computer whiz, or I'd upload it!

i wish you well :)

If he has so much respect for us Canadian's--why did he wait till 11:55pm to come on stage at a show starting at 7pm...BS!! New Yrs to boot...Edmonton @ Reds..very disappointing...VERY.

This album and single did nothing in the US, though the single is listed on Billboard's "Bubbling Under the Hot 100" chart.

tom has made a lot of good music .

We wish you well too Tom.

On 2nd thought, I think it's another brand of axe that looks like a 6120.

Tommy plays a Gretsch 6120...just like my man, Eddie Cochran.

i agree this guy never got the respect he deserves

would more say tom petty than bruce thou...

fukyahesawsum

Awesome!

love this song
