The harmonies, geez. Next level genius! In some places they use dissonants in ways I've never heard in my life, and then resolve them heavenly. Listen to 5.25 (alrea-) DY KNOW. When I first heard this song I must have played those two syllables 200 times over, to try and grasp the shear brilliance of that dissonance resolved. And I'm normally not a "technical" listener, I want to féel a song. But that? Blew my mind, still does!
Dude, you ARE bringing that old music to the new generations, just by uploading your reactions! So many people are going to discover great oldies when they watch you watching their parent's old favorites. It's gonna make them curious about all of the other stuff on your channel. Way to spread the love, Man!
Saying I love you doesn't always come with those words. Sometime I love you comes out with "Drive safely", "Eat your vegetables", "Call me when you get home", "I'll give you a ride home." I love this song.🌻💙🦋
Extreme warmed up for ZZ Top and this is the last song they played. We had never heard of them at that time, but there they were 10 feet away, sitting on the stage singing this beautiful ballad! My wife and I love this song and loved watching them perform! ZZ Top was fabulous as well!
In Australia, this song was #2 on the charts for weeks and weeks, because "Everything I do" by Bryan Adams, another beautiful ballad, was #1 and stayed there for ages. I was 16 when this came out and remember I was crazy about a girl at school. This song just seemed to be everything I wanted to say to her but couldn't.
Yep, same story in the UK. I was 17 myself in 91 ... Bryan Adams had the longest consecutive run at No1 ever, and kept this - and 'Wind of Change' by The Scorpions - and 'I'm Too Sexy' by Right Said Fred - from ever reaching No.1.
@@dabblepants Yeah, it's weird looking back now at those songs now. They're all such massive 90s classics, you would just assume each one of them spent weeks at the top of the charts.
Love is a verb. My dad was never one to wax poetic about how much he loved me, but I knew every day that he did, down to his bones. He was always there for me, no matter what, and for my own kids when they came along. We knew without doubt that we were the light of his life. Being loved like that is such a precious gift. And I'm grateful.
This was our song for my husband and myself when we dated. Brings back such good memories. We just divorced in February but are still friends. Married Oct. 1992. Beautiful song and now brings tears.
I bet they were stoked when they had penned this song. They must have just _known._ The video is really effective too. So simple-yet mesmerizing. The guitar player (Nuno something) is distractingly beautiful. Apparently he's a seriously good (rock) guitarist.
@@rileyandmike Extremely underrated, one might even say. :3 Yeah, Nuno has definitely flown under the radar as a guitar god because his band's biggest hit was a ballad. His rhythm chops, lead playing, and creativity are all off the charts. Easily on the same level as EVH as a musician, but never really got his due.
Great reaction video! Unfortunately, for Extreme they found came with this wonderful rock ballad, but those who fell in love with this song who went to see them were in for a shock as these guys are/were extremely heavy rockers.
"It's all mind control now, at this point" you get it! i'm happy to witness your musical journey and what it's done to your mind and soul, it's so refreshing and beautiful to watch, it's like you're growing as a person, it's what music was supposed to do, and going through most of the 20th century before reacting to newer stuff is definitely the right move, you're wise beyond your years :)
I loved your heartfelt reaction- honest , pure, and beautiful! I'm 60, when I first heard this song, I was probably in my 30' S- and it never gets old- it is like I first heard it- just a perfect beautiful song- voices, lyrics, melody, and feeling☺
Party at my house if your ever in Scotland. All this classic stuff your reacting too is definitely on the playlist. Glad to see the younger gen showing the appreciation. Brilliant
Back in my radio days, I had the chance to hang out with these guys at a friend’s house for several hours one afternoon. They even did some music for us. James, as much as you want to be transported to the 70, 80s and 90s, I lived them and miss them dearly.
If you take time and really listen to the hits of my youth from the 80s and early 90s, you'll find a treasure trove of dulcet gold so brilliant, you'll never wanna listen to modern music again.
They also did a song called "Hole Hearted". It's an upbeat song and the harmonies are still amazing. These two songs were huge back in my high school days and bring back many wonderful memories. Thank you!
You know what I love? The fact that you wanted to pause it a 2nd time and couldn't, due to how great the song was. You were in the moment. Loving how great the song was and probably forgetting you were even doing a reaction. Thank you for loving good music. It gives me hope, when someone so much younger than me, can actually enjoy music I love. Music is the language we all can speak. I think we should look beyond our differences, and try to see our sameness. I'm a middle aged white dude. Yet I felt very much connected to you when I saw how this music touched you.
Isn't simple music, thoughtful lyrics and great harmonics, just truly eye opening? I love rock raw energy , i love technical precision, i love insightful lyrics, but sometimes, I am blown away by the beauty of simplicity .
These dudes can rock pretty hard too. They are primarily hard rock. This was just a nice little treat that made people appreciate their musicianship and harmonies. One of my favorites
50s and 60s too, My Brother. Rock began in the 50s, with a lot of awesome tunes from that decade as well, plus the 60s, Dear God, how can you overlook the 60s. Right? To me, pop music went down hill from around, the mid 80s onward, but this was a gem from the 90s that I'd forgotten about, sadly. Good to hear it again. Man, you've got it figured out. Now if only you can help more of your generation to see that, maybe we can rejuvenate modern pop, once again. Love and Best. Out.
I remember this song from the 90s :) Loved it then and it's still special. Please listen to Fast Car by Tracy Chapman. I can't get thru that song without tearing up. It's a touching, beautiful song.
Nuno! He's still rocking to this day! Every time I've tried to watch a reaction from someone I like, it gets blocked. So, thank you very much for doing this one. This is pure talent right here.
JB you so right it was not that long ago when artists had way more freedom . What do ya say let’s me and you start our own recording company. LOL wouldn’t that be a dream just let raw talent do there thing and share it on you tube... God bless you JB and I really hope your dreams come true..
That's awesome that you checked out the lyrics and connected with the song's beauty and message. It's one of my favorite songs and I always sing it when I hear it. Much love!
Love this Band. Extreme are really great. I saw them 5 times live here in Germany....always breathtaking. Nuno is one of the best guitarplayers at the time. Love your reaction videos.... Carry on:)
OMG this brings me back to 6th grade! I loved this song! And I never noticed this in the video- but I find it hilarious that the guitarist and drummer put down their guitar and drum sticks and we’re sitting in front just chilling and waving their lighters 😀
Love this song. They used to play it on 100.3 Pirate radio back in the day. You should hear "Lips Like Sugar" by Echo & The Bunnymen from 1987. There's nothing like it.
Extreme issue of my favorite bands. Nuno, the guitarist, is considered one of the best players in the world, and now he plays for Rihanna. He's incredible. Gary Cherone singing Jesus Christ Superstar will blow your mind.
I am glad to see some of the younger generation, such as yourself, exposing themselves to some of the great masterpieces that came out of the 70's, 80's and 90's... I feel a lot of newer music pushed by the industry today is lacking in emotion and passion, although sometimes there will be an artist that shocks me. But then when I hear about that artist's inspirations (that come from those decades), then it doesn't surprise me as much.
Too exactly right! Beautiful reaction man & as for the music industry. If you don't have vocal talent we'll auto tune it as long as you look a certain way,do what you're told you can be a "star". Making originality,raw passion for music & free thought almost extinct. Actually should put innovation on the.endangered species list.
I just watched another reactioner’s video for this song this morning, and yours is equally as emotional as hers was. As I commented over there, this song came out the summer before I started high school, and it’s what got me hooked on Extreme. It was just so emotional and pure, just these two beautiful voices harmonizing to perfection and a guitar. Nuno and Gary were just so on point in their harmonies. This song and Hole Hearted, both from the same album, bring back such wonderful memories of that time. Love to see you react to that song as well. More up tempo, and you hear both their voices separately as well as their beautiful harmonization. Both songs are still staples on my playlist all these many years later.
I would call it more like a duet in the style of Freddie Mercury and Brian May like with Love Of My Life or Is This The World That We Created, where the drummer and bassist weren't needed and just lounged/watched/cheered (silently) in the background...
The acoustic and their harmonies are flawless!
The harmonies, geez. Next level genius! In some places they use dissonants in ways I've never heard in my life, and then resolve them heavenly. Listen to 5.25 (alrea-) DY KNOW.

That is definately whats happening perhaps he will bring their hearts back in alignment where it belongs
It's pure artistry is what I think you mean. Not forced. It's beautiful and more natural.
Smooth and soulful .Its song writing perfection👈
My husband and I adopted this song as 'ours'. He passed away in 2010 and every time I hear it I think of him. Thanks for this!
@ShariSez1 Thank you!
Saying I love you doesn't always come with those words. Sometime I love you comes out with "Drive safely", "Eat your vegetables", "Call me when you get home", "I'll give you a ride home."

Bryan Adams song was SWEET
I was crazy about this song back in the 90's and I still love it.
Amazing ballad. This song was huge.

To me, This song is to the 90's, what Jim Croche's Time In a Bottle is to the 70's. Beautiful. Timeless. Sheer perfection.
This was our song for my husband and myself when we dated. Brings back such good memories. We just divorced in February but are still friends. Married Oct. 1992. Beautiful song and now brings tears.
Instant classic. Gary and Nuno harmonize so well on this song. I have been a fan of Gary since I was a teen. He is amazing.
I bet they were stoked when they had penned this song. They must have just _known._ The video is really effective too. So simple-yet mesmerizing. The guitar player (Nuno something) is distractingly beautiful. Apparently he's a seriously good (rock) guitarist.
Nuno Bettencourt is a bona fide dreamboat, it must be said.
Kyle S. Yassssss honey!!
Kyle S. He is also an awesome guitarist - very underrated!
@@rileyandmike Extremely underrated, one might even say. :3
Yeah, Nuno has definitely flown under the radar as a guitar god because his band's biggest hit was a ballad. His rhythm chops, lead playing, and creativity are all off the charts. Easily on the same level as EVH as a musician, but never really got his due.
Big hit from the 90s. It hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Pretty powerful voices, harmonies, and message. Straight to the point and sounds nice
"Hole Hearted" by this same group (Extreme) has amazing vocal harmonies and a driving rhythm too.
One of the best ballads.
💜 *SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SONG, WITH A SIMPLE MESSAGE, THAT ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS* 💜
Timeless tune !! And hey, Nuno is some great eye candy, too ! LOL (guitar player)
Amen, sister!
He is one of the best guitarists of that time to.
Yes he is beautiful😍
Oh yes
Oh I fancied him something rotten!
Great reaction video!
Unfortunately, for Extreme they found came with this wonderful rock ballad, but those who fell in love with this song who went to see them were in for a shock as these guys are/were extremely heavy rockers.
Yes, I remember their song Play With Me. Hard to believe it's the same band, lol.
By doing these reactions you are bringing these songs to the millennium imo
Queensryche - Silent Lucidity. I guarantee this will be one of your top 5 songs.
I second that!
@@rafaelalencar3833 I third it!
Yes!!!
I AGREE. damn AWESOME song.
"It's all mind control now, at this point" you get it! i'm happy to witness your musical journey and what it's done to your mind and soul, it's so refreshing and beautiful to watch, it's like you're growing as a person, it's what music was supposed to do, and going through most of the 20th century before reacting to newer stuff is definitely the right move, you're wise beyond your years :)
❤️ This song so much. If only every1 could live whats being said in this song.
I really agree with you, what the industry does with the beautiful artists. Music is about the soul and heart, music has a mission.
Another great tune is "Hole Hearted" by Extreme
my personal favourite
I loved your heartfelt reaction- honest , pure, and beautiful! I'm 60, when I first heard this song, I was probably in my 30' S- and it never gets old- it is like I first heard it- just a perfect beautiful song- voices, lyrics, melody, and feeling☺
Actions mean more than words indeed. Everyone can say "I love you" without any meaning, but actions are a true sign 😉. Beautiful song isn't it 😍
Party at my house if your ever in Scotland. All this classic stuff your reacting too is definitely on the playlist. Glad to see the younger gen showing the appreciation. Brilliant
Trying to imagine what he'd think if he was here for Hogmanay 😄
Same at mine in Canada, rocking loud to the 80's all the time! Nice to see a younger person enjoying it so much.
The acoustic guitar is great. And the voices are like angels singing.😊
This is a massive rock ballad and so unique. The video and the radio edit cuts off a really cool ending so sometime listen to the complete version JB.
Word. The full ending is W.O.W.
Beautiful harmony-something missing in most current music
Pure and natural. No auto tune, smoke, magic and a million backup dancers. Thank you peace ✌️
This song is gorgeous harmonics tone and words are all other worldly it speaks to your spirit and your spirit listens
Back in my radio days, I had the chance to hang out with these guys at a friend’s house for several hours one afternoon. They even did some music for us. James, as much as you want to be transported to the 70, 80s and 90s, I lived them and miss them dearly.
Yup. love is a verb!
Plenty of us 70s, 80s & 90s people are still here *in* the new millennium :D
(only trouble is we're old farts now, ahahaha!)
Unbelievable what is posible with good voices and a Guitar.
If you take time and really listen to the hits of my youth from the 80s and early 90s, you'll find a treasure trove of dulcet gold so brilliant, you'll never wanna listen to modern music again.
I just love watching your reactions. It is obvious just how much you love music, all music, and it shows.
They also did a song called "Hole Hearted". It's an upbeat song and the harmonies are still amazing. These two songs were huge back in my high school days and bring back many wonderful memories. Thank you!
I truly love you. Thank you for all you share. PS, I was born in 1955. I know what you are saying. Great is great no matter when it was conceived!
It's always been a phenomenal song, and very rarely given radio airtime.
You know what I love? The fact that you wanted to pause it a 2nd time and couldn't, due to how great the song was.
You were in the moment. Loving how great the song was and probably forgetting you were even doing a reaction.

By doing these reactions you ARE bringing the music back. Keep going.
Love this Song and the Portuguese flag in the background.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS SONG!! I was a total sucker for it!!
Perfection, everything about it is flawless. I get lost in the smooth beauty of this song. Icing on the cake? Nuno...WOW!!!!

If you want to see them rock out I highly recommend the live version of Get the Funk Out. Nino's guitar solo to start will blow you away.
Nuno! He's still rocking to this day! Every time I've tried to watch a reaction from someone I like, it gets blocked. So, thank you very much for doing this one. This is pure talent right here.
As they say, actions speak louder than words, especially when it comes to love.
Simplicity at it's best. Two men and a guitar. No faking this. They are great.
this is the prime example of a "power ballad" by a rock band. its one of the best
thanks for your genuine reactions. you know when you find a good song and it shows. keep it up
Imagine being a high school teenage girl when this song and video (back when MTV played videos) hit the scene. We lived for videos.
JB you so right it was not that long ago when artists had way more freedom . What do ya say let’s me and you start our own recording company. LOL wouldn’t that be a dream just let raw talent do there thing and share it on you tube... God bless you JB and I really hope your dreams come true..

When i want to chill...I turn this up and feel MUCH better!
Just a beautiful pure voices singing in harmony! So true more than words!
Love this song. They used to play it on 100.3 Pirate radio back in the day. You should hear "Lips Like Sugar" by Echo & The Bunnymen from 1987. There's nothing like it.
Your right.There is such a small group of people that control media outlets and they make whoever they want a star,and everyone else gets left behind.
So glad you enjoyed this song! It is a beautiful old favorite of mine.
Adored this from my very first listen. 💓. I recall I was parking my car and I couldn't get out of the vehicle until the last note.
One of the great songs from that era! Glad you like it!
Thank you, I couldn't agree with you more. Great reaction.

This blew me away the first time I heard it as well.
I saw them live at Hammerjacks in Baltimore in the 90s. That was an excellent show!
I love your beautiful reaction to More than Words. Fantastic
Yes..... actions speak louder than words.
I'm so glad you played this song. It's one of my favorites, so pure and a classic! I loved your reaction! Keep up the awesome reactions!
James, search out Extreme at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert. their tribute was amazing! rock on James!!!
one of my faves
Fantastic song one of my all time favorite songs
just a simple video with guitar and vocals...amazing harmonies! Awesome to see you lovin' this song too :)
I had a whole night where my brain just played this over and over! I couldn’t remember who sang it until 3.30am! It’s still so hauntingly addictive!
This song is their crowning achievement

Thank you for reaction to this song what beautiful word's
Such great harmony. Love it.
Actions speak louder than words.
It's nice someone as young as you can see how much better it is when the music /voices are real not autotuned/backing tracked
Loved your reaction and words. Thank you.
So refreshing to see your passion for music of all genres!
Beautiful!
Absolutely. Pure artistry. Just a guitar and two beautiful voices.
I am delighted you enjoyed song a masterpiece they just looked they were in a jamming session
