REO Speedwagon - "Live Every Moment"
from the album Wheels Are Turnin' (1984)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #34 (one week)
Weeks in the Top-40: 3

Today's Song of the Day is from the Midwestern arena rock band REO Speedwagon, whose eleventh studio album Wheels Are Turnin' had already generated three top-40 pop hits with "I Do'wanna Know", "One Lonely Night", and the #1 single "Can't Fight This Feeling". For their fourth release from the project they went with the easy-listening rock of "Live Every Moment", written by lead singer Kevin Cronin about taking all there is in life by the horns...

"Live Every Moment" became REO's fourth top-40 hit from Wheels Are Turnin' in August of 1985.
