As I kid, I cried every time I heard this song and it happened again just now. I haven't heard this song in decades.

My senior year in high school, the night our varsity football team won the championship in 1979, this song came on the bus's radio as we rode back to the school. The entire team sang along. Was an awesome end to an awesome day.

[topresearcher]

The lyrics are those of a homesteader telling the story of a young Nebraska woman said to have died searching for her escaped pony, "Wildfire", during a blizzard. The homesteader finds himself in a similar situation, doomed in an early winter storm. A hoot owl has perched outside of his window for six days, and the homesteader believes the owl is a sign that the ghost of the young woman is calling for him. He hopes to join her (presumably in heaven) and spend eternity riding Wildfire with her, leaving the difficulties of earthly life behind.
The song has a piano intro and outro which was edited out for radio. The introduction is based on a piece (Prelude in D-flat, Op. 11 No. 15) by the Russian classical composer Alexander Scriabin.

Murphey and Cansler co-wrote "Wildfire" in 1968, shortly after Murphey emerged as a solo artist. Earlier in the decade he had been part of a duo known as the Lewis & Clark Expedition in 1968 with singer-songwriter Boomer Castleman. They appeared and performed in an episode of the TV sitcom I Dream of Jeannie.
When Murphey rerecorded "Wildfire" for a new album in 1997, he was quoted by Billboard as saying that what many consider his signature song "broke my career wide open and, on some level, still keeps it fresh. Because that song appeals to kids, and always has, it's kept my career fresh."
In a 2008 interview, Murphey talked about the origins of the song and the context in which it was written. He was a third-year student at UCLA, working on a concept album for Kenny Rogers (The Ballad of Calico). The work was demanding, sometimes taking more than 20 hours a day. One night, he dreamed the song in its totality, writing it up in a few hours the next morning. He believes the song came to him from a story his grandfather told him when he was a little boy – a prominent Native American legend about a ghost horse. Murphey did not have a horse named Wildfire until a few years before the interview, when he gave that name to a palomino mare.

Released in February 1975 as the album's lead single, "Wildfire" became Murphey's highest-charting pop hit in the United States. The somber story song hit No. 2 in Cash Box and No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in June 1975. In addition, it hit the top position of the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, displacing "Love Will Keep Us Together".
The single continued to sell, eventually receiving platinum certification from the RIAA, signifying sales of over two million US copies. Members of the Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time.

I’m a 58 year old man and still get goosebumps hearing this ✌🏻💙🙏🏻

[scottmelligan]

46 years after first hearing it I have the same reaction: visceral. Actually, at my age I do not try so hard to hide the poignant emotions this song stirs.

[mikeharvey]

The 70's was the ultimate decade for the "Singer/Songwriter" there is just too many to name

[TT-jsjn]

Michael was my neighbor in the mountains in Colorado and the guy playing that beautiful piano and synthesizer was a very good friend of mine Jac Murphy. He also was my neighbor. No relation to Michael. We just all lived up there when they did that album and it was a big hit. Super nice guys both of them. Very talented ! Unfortunately Jac took his own life, but Michael is still doing his thing beautifully. I used to love riding over to Jac's house just down the road from the KZ Ranch where I lived, and listening to him play the piano . He had a request from the Queen of England to come play for him he was so good. He even put out his own album before he died. Those were some very special days in my life in the 70s and I'll never forget them..I miss you Jac.😔 R.I.P.💖

[selmagalev]

This song makes me cry every time. Especially being a horse owner, I identify so much with it. I couldn't imagine my Dragon doing this and getting lost in a blizzard. He did get out once and when I called him, thankfully, he came running back. It was in the snow but he went only as far as my neighbor's house. LOL. I have a video posted. It's actually beautiful seeing him running towards me, then slow down while crossing the street and take off past me and back into his pasture.

[kylekerwin]

It’s time for crying again. This song is beautiful and heartbreaking every time I hear it.

[earlobannion]

I am Native American and this song hits close to my roots yes I almost cried myself.

[tomcollens]

It’s a classic because Michael Martin Murphy did it right. No one else.

[bravesirrobin]

Whenever I hear this song I'm instantly drifted back to the 70's, what an amazing decade it was.

[alaninohio]

This was my little sister's favorite song. I used to play it on air for her as a DJ on a Top 40 AM Station in KY. I would play it when I could before she passed from liver disease in 1985 at age 17.

[fishouttawtr]

Man, this song always got me as a child, such a beautiful intro and song!

[christopherpollak]

I believe this song came out in 1975. Sounds just as beautiful today.

[rhondaharmon]

This song is like Christopher Cross Sailing. It just is so smooth and just so beautiful and calming.

[sandymyers]

I love this song. Never realized as a kid listening how sad it is. They all died even the horse DIED! Still one of my favs!

[kelleychilton]

Some Native Americans believe that an owl hooting outside your bedroom window is a sign that death is coming.

[harrybrumfield]

I was 21 when I first heard this song. No song before or since has evoked such an emotional response in me. This might be the greatest song I have ever heard. When I hear that opening piano, I know I need to find somewhere to sit, as my emotions still move me greatly. I can't explain it, it just happens, even 47 years later!

[LouisLarsen-vpoc]

I'm a65 years heard this song when much younger man still feels like it's the first time when ever I hear it 😅
