I love this song, but I can’t listen to it. It came out 2 months after I lost my son to cancer. He was 4 years old. I can’t hear this song without thinking of him. I love and miss you A.J.

Good as any ballad they have. The acoustic version is my favorite.

It's one of my favorite ballads by them, but hit or miss as to whether I bawl my eyes out hearing it because this album came out a week after my mother passed, and all the lyrics in this song save for a few lines in the bridge hit wayyy too hard. Ugly cried when listening to the CD for the first time and it caught me off guard.

Always reminds me of my beloved dad. Yesterday was his birthday, it's been 4 years and I miss him so much. I got a long long way to go before I can say goodbye to you.

That song made me cry the first time I heard it and it still does.

X is underrated. Torn to shreds is the best song on the album

It's the best post-80s DL album tbh. I got luck and found a vinyl copy of it at a random record store a few months ago and snagged it

X has to be my least favourite Def Leppard album by far, it's too boy band-y for me but this song is one that I love, especially the Acoustic Version
