I sang this song every day, at least once a day, for 3 years after my husband left me for another girl. I was absolutely shattered. Wore out 3 CD's and one DVD. I still play it now and then. It doesn't hurt so bad any more. I still love this song. Thank you Aerosmith. *BIG heart* :)
Susan Rasmussen I hope it is better for you now. I am going through this right now. It really hurts. I keep hoping she will change her mind but I know she won't
This has to be one of the most perfect songs I can think of. Every note, every beat, every lyric, every sound that comes from Tyler's voice, the whole combination from start to finish ... flawless.
This music is such full of life, intense, beautiful, awesome. The arrangements, te lyrics, beautiful at infinity. In Brazil a romantic band does a version, so beautiful like the original, although the theme of the lyrics was different, but, it's was such a gift to people here, for the rising of soul that afford. Aerosmith fan from Brazil.
They sure as hell don't make music like this anymore. The feeling it invokes......Damn. How will future generations experience this? That's the real tragedy here !!
Was married until my wife pretty much went cold turkey on me and cheated on me with my friends. This song really shows how i felt afterwards, but for those out there who think that theres no one else out there then keep looking. I found the most amazing girl nearly a year on and im really far happier than i ever was before. Thanks though Aerosmith for an amazing song.
Tony Mann thanks for encouraging words. Mines a guy leaving because I’m not one of course lol but same stuff💔💔😭everyday is a hard uphill struggle, another day long crying spell lurking just beneath the surface for now. He chased me down and cornered me, then I relented and fell deeply in love, was sort of getting by ok on my own, seems extra cruel little twist. But anyway, I hope things have worked out well for you, maybe I can hope again someday too😭💔
Codilla yeah, mine ran off with the literal town whore, and in Jacksonville Florida that’s really saying something. Don’t get it, he chased me down at first..
This song summed it up when I left a bitter marriage 20 years ago. Back then the pain was so deep I remember saying to myself "geez, I wish it was 20 years from now." Well, it is now 20 years later. Those wounds healed but it took a long time and needed a lot of effort. For people finding things unbearable now, all I can say is hang in there, have faith and you will be freed from it. Time is your best friend, use it with love.
***** Bless you Jon... just pray for healing, for you, for her, for the situation. It was a time in your life. New chapters have been written. Acknowledge it on your path. Allow the scars to heal. That was the way I made it. I hope this helps you.
This song is one of Aerosmith's GREATEST pieces of work. It's one of those songs for me that grew on me and those are the songs you love for a lifetime. Thanks for posting this.
Is my favorite too! I like above all other musics, although, Crying, Crazy, Hole in my Soul, and I Don't wanna lose a thing, and others, is fantastic. I love the intensity in the songs of Aerosmith, they are really full of passion.
One of most passionate and deep felt tracks. Some songs get close to describing the pain. This one is spot on. Even if the pain was first experienced over 20 years ago, it helps to not feel alone in the agony that was felt. And years later, it is excellent to listen and reflect on it.
jrenae75 I sang this song for 3 years straight to help me get over a love that cut so deep..... I'm so glad the pain is finally gone.... but won't ever be forgotten..... Thank you Aerosmith!!! Love you!

Most people, including Aerosmith's biggest fans, have no idea what a complete and true masterpiece this song track is. It may take listening to 1000 times, but once you see the inner-workings of "What it Takes," you have this "holy shit" moment when you realize the magnitude of its complexity. Desmond Child together with Joe Perry and Steven Tyler created this magic and I literally feel sad for anyone who hasn't a clue as to what I'm going on about here because it means they have never REALLY heard this song for what it is -- A true musical masterpiece.😎
The inconsistent chord changes could be considered complex I guess...but complex does not make a song great....a great song makes a song great....the magic of this number is the vocals specifically the range combined with the lyrics fitting the mood of the song perfectly.... Tyler's vocal range and harmonies and presence are what's most difficult and also what puts this song on another level
I played this song, What It Takes, every day for 3 years until the tears started to subside some for my husband.... even now, 20 something years later.... it still hurts and I cry at the end..... I would hug this song if I could.
This reminds me of my dad. Once, we where rocking out in his car to this song. And he was repeating the chorus, asking if I understood. Ahh, the memories
I've been an Aerosmith fan since the first time I heard "Sweet Emotion" on a 45 RPM vinyl record on the "juke box" in the cafe/bar of a small Holiday Inn in Williamston, NC in 1975. I'll turn 67 in May of 2020. I don't know if it's maturity or that many failed relationships, or maybe they're the same thing. It still took over 30 years to realize that "What It Takes" is the perfect song for anyone who is growing old without a significant other. Mike Griffin
my heart is totally breaking more everyday from this man who told me he loved me so, my person. When I think it couldn't possibly crack more, another little piece falls off. I'm not sure I want to let it go, then it will be like it never happened. Cathartic Aerosmith, thank you, on this awful morning.
+EmpireYellow1 I'd say forgive them but I know all to well what it feels like to have every little piece of your heart ripped out of your chest and crushed under foot......forgiving is next to impossible and forgetting IS....that being said, take the experiance and turn it into something good for yourself. Yes, by all means forgive the shit bird, but never forget and ALWAYS look for the best in people....it may be hard to find but its there
My All time favorite Aerosmith song! It resonates with me every time I hear it! This song was written by someone hurting bad! Another is "love bites" def leppard
@@Sally-uu3yt My Top 5 are, Get Ready, not in order __ 1_Bon Scott 2_ Steven Tyler _3_Johnny Rotton _ 4_Lux Interior_5_ Me Singing in the Shower, a know for a fact a sound Fuckin Amazing.
My all time Aerosmith favorite. The reason why is because it's got more of that certain classic Aerosmith sound to it than mostr tunes they've done. Sreve's harmonies really come out in this tune (3:00 - 3:15). You can tell he put a shhitload of blood an guts into this one. It takes balls to bleed your heart into a microphone for everyone to hear it ya know. Steve, you are the ruler.
Takes me back to 8th grade when i was heartbroken over some loser and jamming this in my room lol. Aerosmith is timeless. I've been listening to them since I was in the womb😂 my dream is to see them live at least once in my life.
A lot of times when I hear this on the radio they cut out the entire ending portion starting at 4:14, which is like the best part of the song. Glad I can hear the full thing here.
I’ve heard this song a thousand times, always kinda just blended in as “an Aerosmith song”. Then one day I actually listened to it, and it just hit different. Suddenly I can’t get enough, probably Steven Tyler’s quintessential performance. He’s adding something to every word.
2022 And still rocking this song! Love you Arrowsmith! I got my baby back after years and weve been happy for 20 years. Nothing going to tear us apart again.
I listen to this heading down south to New Jersey Sometimes when flying down the Highway!! Thanks Aerosmith for a great song!!! Still one of the best songs from the 2000’s
Great song.... Great album!!! I was only eleven and I knew that... Geez what happened to music, I remember I got this Xmas 89.... PUMP! My eleven year old would never ask me for a rock album....then again it's not 89 :(
From Steven's outstanding vocals and ties to F.I.N.E fine, to Joe's heart-ripping crying solo, this is an incredibly classic and amazing song; further entwinement intended. At 65 years old, and since I borrowed my friend's vinyl original album and recorded it on my cassete deck in 1974, AEROSMITH is still my all time favorite band. 99% of my dreams have come true, largely due to Dream On. Just remember, "Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it."
This was a great song that many can all relate to. It came from a period when Aerosmith wanted all their songs to sound the same (it seemed). But it stood out.
Musically what makes this song click so well is that the chorus is actually a key change. It begins in G Major, but shifts to F Major. It's a beautiful thing.
Lol! This is one of my favorite songs of theirs, and I'm just now learning music theory. I learned the verse without playing the music, and I couldn't find the chorus at all. Then when I did, my singer shouted so it's a key change! Totally funny!
"tell me who's to blame for thinking twice, cause I don't wanna burn for paradise" I think the difference between someone thinking this is a good song and someone thinking this is an amazing song, is whether or not you can relate to that line. It is painful having the person you love break up with you. But to have to break up with the person you love because they stopped loving you back is to condemn yourself to a lifetime of torment, in order to avoid a lifetime of torment. For the days you can't keep it quite as far in the back of your mind as you'd like, there is this song.
I simply love this song, but unfortunately it reminds me of someone who deceived me and I didn't find out how many years later. It's still hard letting go. Damn hard.
mine too...great memories 😜😜 (most of me crying my heart out, screaming out the lyrics as it runs for days on end, on replay, full blast, during all of my "teenage angst", and teen heart breaks) sorry mom...hah 😕
Great song if someone break your heart and she's moved on while you're still putting the pieces together. Hard as hell to see your ex found someone and you haven't yet too.... such a great song
So unknown and so incredible. Maybe their best or of their top songs. Strong and sweet, irresistible Steve Tyler charisma and this music...Paradise is here
Every time I hear this song I'm reminded of this diner my mom used to take my brother and I to in Baltimore back in the late 80s. Each booth had a mini jukebox and I would play this song every time we went there. The place is long gone, but the memories aren't.
This song has meant the world to me since 89, why I don't know but everyone Ive known has fell in love with it too. Listen to it carefully and you will understand.
You ever find that poetry worded, truly finds you back once it makes more sense, maybe it was always relevant but not quite perfectly, but the weight of certain intracacy tells you if you are on time or early.. it's more than a feeling...
Im living this song. I know her love is toxic and it may be easy for her to move on, but my heart won't let go. No one shines like her, as bad as she was....
When music meant something, when honesty made a huge hit everyone can relate to. Not to mention Stevens one of a kind voice matched the emotion in his words. Aerosmith was my first concert I ever saw in 1996 in Cleveland Ohio, 9 Lives Tour. Seven Mary Three opened. Dad and I had nosebleed seats but the electric was flowing through the air. One of my favorite bands. I'm 39 yrs old and love classic music, always will. ❤️🙏 Music is what brings people together, and we need that more than anything else right now in October 2021. Positive vibes to all that see this comment and like it ❤️ I have a saying, Make your own luck. 🙏❤️😘
The guitar, drums, and background accordion etc. Awesome. I imagine, God has this song on repeat at the Gates Of Heaven. I saw a sign once that said " "Remember the next time you criticize me for the world I gave you Steven Tyler - God"
Virtually all that have listened to this song, have in one way or another experienced the contents held within the lyrics of this superb song. Happy days lol :)
I said anyone who loves this song is hurting, yes I am hurting too, that is why i return to listen to it again. I also lost my love, my lost it still hurts, but its not going to buried me, I thought we were unstoppable, I was wrong, I will find soul mate, and yes she might have forgot but I haven't and probably never will.
This song doesn't hurt anyone. It is an eye opener. It's literally asking the woman in question to reassure the guy that she doesn't need him anymore that doesn't care for him anymore. IE ''Tell me that is better when your all alone'' In the end all it takes to forget someone is your own belief in doing so. This song helped me a lot when I most needed it.
I didnt realize how many Aerosmith songs that I liked until I started listening to hit after hit tonight. They are one of those bands I usually just listen to on the radio when they come on every and now then.
It took me that long as well,but I think I was 41 so was she and the woman use to be with a friend of mine back when I was 15, years went by and I have not seen her in over 25yrs... I finally found her on Facebook and we started chatting,she was married but she wasn't happy and was going to get a divorce... We hooked up about 2 weeks after we started chatting and she was the best thing/person/woman that I have ever met and been with in my 41yrs of life at the time... She was my best friend and the love of my life... We was together for a year and a half and she passed away. I was so hurt and depressed because she was the best thing that ever happened to me,the depression I was in was so bad that I attempted suicide... I now think about those 18 months we was together and they were the best time of my life!!!
One of the best Aerosmith songs ever. No matter what people say, Pump was a good album.
The best.
Pump is a masterpiece
BEST
Agreed!!!!
AWESOME ALBUM!
One of the most UNDERRATED Aerosmith songs, from both a lyrical and musical composition complexity perspective.
Testify!
Yes!!!
It ranks pretty high for me I was just feeling a bit love sick I put it on and seen your comment
AAAAAMENNNN!!!!!
Not really.. it’s one of his biggest hits.. it’s on the radio all the time lol

One of the most beautiful lyrics of Aerosmith
Thank you you're story is helping me to move on. This song as well. But thank you hope all is well now!!
Find better one ... trust yourself ....
So what's the story did he find another man?
I don't think anyone could reproduce Steven's vocals if they tried to cover this song. His singing is immense!
he is the best
If you want to make a good cover, do not imitate the vocal parts...
@James Jarrett 😆
Only Robert Plant
Absolutely. Steven, Joe, Brad, Tom, Joey, thank you for all you've brought to our lives!

I was born in the right generation. I can easily listen to songs like this on UA-cam, and I don’t have to wait for them to be written.

My all time Aerosmith favorite. The reason why is because it's got more of that certain classic Aerosmith sound to it than mostr tunes they've done. Sreve's harmonies really come out in this tune (3:00 - 3:15). You can tell he put a shhitload of blood an guts into this one.

My god this song really speaks volumes. Been betrayed and hurt so many times. I've learned to be happy and content single and now I'm single for life.
I hear that, same story different people, single is my way of life now, no more heart aches no more bullshit.
just broke up with my gf and now this song is bomb...thank you aerosmith for making this song...
Let go, let go, let go....something very healing hearing those words over and over again!!! Sung with such passion this song.
A lot of times when I hear this on the radio they cut out the entire ending portion starting at 4:14, which is like the best part of the song. Glad I can hear the full thing here.

Guitar ,voice,lyrics, music.. doesn't get any better than this
My favourite Aerosmith song.....
I think it's mine too...so many great songs, and S.T. has done some really fantastic solo music :)
mine too
Definitely mine too, this song has so much meaning it's unreal and everyone, and I mean EVERYONE can relate to it one way or another.
mine too...great memories 😜😜
(most of me crying my heart out, screaming out the lyrics as it runs for days on end, on replay, full blast, during all of my "teenage angst", and teen heart breaks)
sorry mom...hah 😕
This is actually my second favorite Aerosmith song. My all-time favorite is got to be sweet emotion
Little Stevie Tallarico, he makes me feel good. His vocals sure hit the soul. Thanks for everything!
This song helped me through life, do not dislike it🌹🙌
"tell me you ain't dying when you're crying for me"...
thank you !! always wondered about this particular line 😀
by far my #1fav Aerosmith tune
sometimes .. aerosmith's songs leave me WITHOUT WORDS ...
The description for this song itself deserves its very own thumbed up comment ;j
Great song if someone break your heart and she's moved on while you're still putting the pieces together. Hard as hell to see your ex found someone and you haven't yet too.... such a great song
Exs are exs, who lives from past is museum.
So unknown and so incredible. Maybe their best or of their top songs. Strong and sweet, irresistible Steve Tyler charisma and this music...Paradise is here
Best Aerosmith song ever!
Every time I hear this song I'm reminded of this diner my mom used to take my brother and I to in Baltimore back in the late 80s. Each booth had a mini jukebox and I would play this song every time we went there.
The place is long gone, but the memories aren't.
I can't listen to this song without singing my lungs out, I'm just glad my neighbors haven't called 911 yet thinking I'm probably dying lol
Lol
Nice!!!!
let it be
Fuck... I thought I was the only one
My neighbors love this song whether they know it or not! 🤩😂
Another Aerosmith song that saved me .. at a time in my life just when I needed it
THIS is songwriting...Wow!
Clifton Isaacs tell came from the heart
This song has meant the world to me since 89, why I don't know but everyone Ive known has fell in love with it too. Listen to it carefully and you will understand.
2:30 este solo de guitarra me endulza los oídos cada vez que lo escucho
Incredible song played exactly as it sounds in concert in Bogota, 2010. Fanstastic!!
This song hits all the right feelings!!!
Sure does 💯❣️
You ever find that poetry worded, truly finds you back once it makes more sense, maybe it was always relevant but not quite perfectly, but the weight of certain intracacy tells you if you are on time or early.. it's more than a feeling...
Im living this song. I know her love is toxic and it may be easy for her to move on, but my heart won't let go. No one shines like her, as bad as she was....
Amo essa música 😆😆😆Linda musica da minha adolescência amoooo ah tempão bom
It is easy to miss them but there are some amazing harmonies in this (and many of the "post comeback" aerosmith) song(s).
My all time favorite band! Steve Tyler has the best rock voice, hands down. Second, only to Freddie Mercury, and he just gets better with age!
When music meant something, when honesty made a huge hit everyone can relate to. Not to mention Stevens one of a kind voice matched the emotion in his words. Aerosmith was my first concert I ever saw in 1996 in Cleveland Ohio, 9 Lives Tour. Seven Mary Three opened. Dad and I had nosebleed seats but the electric was flowing through the air. One of my favorite bands. I'm 39 yrs old and love classic music, always will. ❤️🙏 Music is what brings people together, and we need that more than anything else right now in October 2021. Positive vibes to all that see this comment and like it ❤️ I have a saying, Make your own luck. 🙏❤️😘
OMG this song brings back a lot of memories I so miss the 90's
The guitar, drums, and background accordion etc. Awesome. I imagine, God has this song on repeat at the Gates Of Heaven. I saw a sign once that said " "Remember the next time you criticize me for the world I gave you Steven Tyler - God"
My all time favorite break up song. A beautiful song.
Virtually all that have listened to this song, have in one way or another experienced the contents held within the lyrics of this superb song.
Happy days lol :)
I said anyone who loves this song is hurting, yes I am hurting too, that is why i return to listen to it again. I also lost my love, my lost it still hurts, but its not going to buried me, I thought we were unstoppable, I was wrong, I will find soul mate, and yes she might have forgot but I haven't and probably never will.
I love this song and I'm not hurting.
But I am F*d up, insecure, neurotic and emotional!!!
which is why i love it
This song doesn't hurt anyone. It is an eye opener.
It's literally asking the woman in question to reassure the guy that she doesn't need him anymore that doesn't care for him anymore.
IE ''Tell me that is better when your all alone''
In the end all it takes to forget someone is your own belief in doing so. This song helped me a lot when I most needed it.
Thanks Roddy,,
240p with millions of views? Must be a true classic. God this song gives me goosebumps and I've unfortunately lived it a couple of times over.
Exellent song!! Thank you Aerosmith...
That's why you don't walk away from something you can't go a day without thinking about . That being said grate song
"Girl before I met you, I was F.I.N.E fine"
Favorite Part
Thats my fav part
Fucked up
Insecure
Narcissistic
Can't remember what the E stands for.
@Mike Anderson
That's women, not men. Fuck off.
@@TheDemoniusX JUST THE EMOTIONAL PART !
I didnt realize how many Aerosmith songs that I liked until I started listening to hit after hit tonight. They are one of those bands I usually just listen to on the radio when they come on every and now then.
One of my favorite songs. Timeless
Powerful, sentimental, passionate love Song. His voice, Joe Perry Guitar and this Melody. One of their Absolute peaks..So good..
Aerosmith will forever be my favorite
First concert i ever went too was Aerosmith at Hershey Stadium. Im 19 years old, and I love them very much, I saw the concert when I was like 7. :)
This song hit me in the feels a hell of a lot more than I expected it to.
had looped this song for an entire week...luv it
it took me 43 years to find my true love so keep trying
This is my favorite band. I've seen them live more times than I can count
Adam Smith 43 years? Goddamn it...is she worth waiting?
It took me that long as well,but I think I was 41 so was she and the woman use to be with a friend of mine back when I was 15, years went by and I have not seen her in over 25yrs...
I finally found her on Facebook and we started chatting,she was married but she wasn't happy and was going to get a divorce...
We hooked up about 2 weeks after we started chatting and she was the best thing/person/woman that I have ever met and been with in my 41yrs of life at the time...
She was my best friend and the love of my life...
We was together for a year and a half and she passed away.
I was so hurt and depressed because she was the best thing that ever happened to me,the depression I was in was so bad that I attempted suicide...
I now think about those 18 months we was together and they were the best time of my life!!!
Me too buddy
Found mine at 62
I love Aerosmith from Thailand......
