I remember finding out about you
Every day my mind is all around you

Looking out from my lonely room
Day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you

I remember holding you while you sleep
Every day I feel the tears that you weep

Looking out of my lonely gloom
Day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you

Looking out of my lonely room
Day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you

I remember finding out about you
Every day my mind is all around you

Looking out of my lonely gloom
Day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you

I just looked over to check thinking it might be Delaney & Bonnie... long time since I heard this one. This song is an earworm for me though - the chorus/that phrase "day after day" often runs in my brain.
Wow, i just realized  'Ol Joe Jackson ripped  the verse for "Breaking us in two!"

Anyone fancy a trip on The Magic Christian? I hear she's seaworthy again.
I saw Badfinger on their first US tour, a really good show. Shame they never really got the opportunity to grow out of the Beatles shadow.
It’s a beauty

This track was produced by George Harrison, so....

Pretty hair Great song
A band with a fascinating history; and some catchy tunes too!
Wow. And all this time I thought it was Clapton.
Beautiful song. Tragic story of the band. This has to be my one of my top ten productions.
So much hair.
Listen to the start of this song, then listen to the start of Joe Jacksons Breaking Us in Two. Coincidence?
This has always been one of my favorite Beatles songs personally.
Great great love song. Tragic losses of two band members by suicide. Wondering if our recent losses are prompting this. Thanks Bill.

One of the songs that defines the 70s for me...
This was snaffled by Embrace in some form or another, I remember.  I saw Embrace at the Anson Rooms in Bristol and it's still the only gig I've left early.  Such volume it was just unbearable, plus the sheer Gallagher-mimicking arrogance of the lead singer.  I retired to the bar, where I could still listen clearly, and drank cider till it was done.

Get off my lawn.
Great music. Read the tragic history of this typical british band on Wikipedia

I get fooled every time with this song at the start. I always think it's that "Breaking Us In Two" song by Joe Jackson.
Love the "Carry on Till Tomorrow". In fact, I uploaded it... seems Rebecca didn't.
No wonder this band sounded so "Beatlesque". cptbuz wrote:

A true classic.

Sorry, this is so entirely AM FM. Another cut, unknown, from the BF LP would have been appropriate. Q: Who wrote thhis?
I agree, but since I don't listen to AM FM I'm glad it's here. A: Pete Ham is credited with writing the song, though both George Harrison and Todd Rundgren produced the album so who knows how much influence they had in lyrics & music especially since it was Paul McCartney who wrote Badfingers breakout hit "Come and Get It"

Yes...Yes I do!!!
This is pretty good, but they had a lot of better material. May try to upload some that is less pop-oriented.

Classic template for power pop. Badfinger really wrote great songs, despite being a train-wreck of a band in other ways. With the Raspberries and Big Star, they really kept alive, in the prog-infested early '70's, the Beatles' notion of what a pop-rock song should sound like. Long enough for folks ranging from Dwight Twilley to Elvis Costello to pick up on it in the late '70's and reinvent smart pop all over again. "Day After Day" is a lovely, wistful, powerful pop song that thoroughly deserves the positive memories it evokes.

Nice song...makes me recall the crackle and pop of AM radio!
Am I the only one who hears Neil Diamond's "Coming to America" in those little piano bits?
maybe it was the time, maybe it was my adolescence, but I sure loved this song and LP!
1 1 1 1 1 yup... STILL a 1. WHY is this song in the RP playlist? It sucked back then; it sucks now.
Bad.....finger...gooooooood.
Man, I had no use for this song then, and hearing it again only confirms my distaste for it.
Nice to hear some Badfinger on RP! Would be great to hear some more, especially some of the lesser known tracks. Badfinger's output was spotty, but when they hit the mark, they really nailed it. Wish You Were Here (last LP with Pete Ham) was quite outstanding.

My college roommate and I had a running joke that if you were listening to a classic rock song and you didn't know who the band was, it was Badfinger.
I've always enjoyed Badfinger and their simple music. George and Paul seemed to influence the most no?
