People can say whatever they want but the 70’s was by far the best era of music ever made I don’t understand why people quit making music like this This is one of the best soft rock songs ever Songs like this are timeless Never gets old
@@davidellis7786 Farnham replaced Glenn from '82 to '87 recording 3 albums during that time. He's got a really good voice but I prefer Glenn, especially the ones written by/for him.
I've been a fan for over 40 years, this music was high school for me. I'm glad to see that the magic is still there for some. Thanks for your reaction!
The first few seconds you just sit there expressionless and then he sings a note and you 😃 😊 😀 😄 😁. Beautiful huh? I was a senior in high school when this hit..as you kids say, 🔥 📛 👩🚒 🚒 🧯! God bless you 🙏🏼
& to think that I grew up listening to this great music. Notice how they all are playing an actual Musical Instrument, & have to able to sing... Zero computer enhancements, just pure good music.
"Why do I like this song so much"? Welcome to the 1970" You like these songs, yet can't figure out exactly why. It's because the songs were "crafted" by schooled and extremely skilled writers. Then they were arranged by classically trained and extremely talented arrangers. They were performed not by guys who had a computer come up with a beat, but by people who studied and worked hard at the "Craft" of music. It's in the color tones that weave in and out. It's the dynamics of starting sparsely and building, only to come back down again. In making you want that chorus again and teasing you til you get it. This was still the age of trained musicians. That's why you like this song. Long live them and the few today carrying on the tradition.
So proud of this Australian band especially being Australian myself. Love the harmonies. Just a bit of information Glenn Shorrock was the lead singer on this song and most songs, but John Farnham was lead singer for a little while.
They were one of the best Aussie bands, seen them live just after they released the Diamantina Cocktail album, they done a gig at the local RSL it was awesome, the place was packed people were dancing on the tables, they were so good live. Never got to see them again unfortunately.
This song reminds me of a girl I had a mad crush on in high school. She was a pom pom girl and fashion model. Shortly after we graduated that summer she moved to New York and that fall she was on bill boards everywhere for Virginia Slims and Vogue Magazine.
Seen Glenn Shorrock may times in recent years in city and rural Australia. Does all his hits from all his bands, Twilights, Axiom & LRB. Still great well into his 70's.
I'm a Kiwi, and proud to say at one point they had one playing in the band, Farnham era I think. Anyhow, yeah man, my fave Ozzie band of all time. And they fucking cane by a great distance the Eagles man. Just so much more variety, and their harmonies just took their stuff to a whole new level seldom equalled. So yeah, be proud brother, one of the greatest bands and underrated of all time, a victory for Oceania!
This song takes you to a dream state....thinking of that special "lady"💞.....from your long ago past ....a love song to remind us of what was or could've been ❤
Little River Band it is a phenomenon and they have so many good songs that people just don't remember I was born in the 70s so I do remember them they have songs that will haunt your memory after you hear them
It has a way to create a mysterious draw like a luring beauty of a woman you can not resist but also can not keep so as she leaves you weep and when she holds you, you sigh. My heart aches and warms during the sweeps and steeps thru this song. The Little River Band was very good at these electric emotions as they were in Lonesome Loser and Night Owl.
In the early 1980s I was stationed at a remote missile base in Sicily. The hotel owners daughter was the most beautiful girl I’d ever seen. She absolutely took my breath away. I was listening to this song on my Sony Walkman when she motioned to listen. She spoke very little English but melted on my shoulder whispering “love song”. Every day after work she came by to hear her favorite “love song”. I fell so deeply in love with her, but we never even kissed. I was abruptly moved to another base but think about her all the time. Thank you for letting me go back in time.
Several groups and artists have done a song with this title. They are all great and all different! “Cool Change” is my all-time favorite Little River song. Little River is a very mellow and relaxing group, kind of like Bread and Three Dog Night. You will never go wrong with this band.
Yes. I remember hearing that song for the first time on a road trip with my brother. We both so blown away by it, and commented how you just get so lost in it listening to it on the highway.
A very beautiful woman back in the stone age got into this band. We was so young, now we are both Grand Parents. Still wonderful friends. Funny how time flies.
Saw these guys open for Jimmy Buffett in Biloxi, MS in 1978. It was a great show and although the LRB is well-known for their ballads and soft rock hits, they could rock out live as well. Still one of the best concerts/weekends I ever had...I even remember some of it.
Never saw LRB unfortunately, but I’ve seen Buffett a few times… some I remember vividly & some not so much 😂 Jimmy’s shows are the best, never any issues because you just can’t be mad or have an attitude at his show. Parrot heads are full of love , happiness & good times 😎
Great band, I got see them in 1979, they were doing a show in front of the Sydney Opera House, in Sydney,Australia when I was there in the Navy great show...
You have to react to lonesome loser, reminiscing, and night owls. Three great songs by little river band. And by the way thank you to reacting to this great Australian group.
When I was married, my wife wanted to go this concert and I was like " Little River Band??" Who the f*** is that??? Turns out I knew all their songs!!! I love these guys!! They have a lot more songs you will love too!! 👍😎
Little River Band! Great song from them! One of my favorites. There are two versions of "it's a long way there" when you do it do the original 1st because the live version cuts out the opening and ending but the live version has a different and also great guitar solo. I have both versions in my Library. I expect others will point to other songs like Reminiscing & Lonesome Loser. Both Fantastic.
it is so awesome to see someone young as yourself hearing music that i was grown up listening to and to watch you hear them for the first time and to love them as much as i did and still do .....TOTALLY AWESOME'
I'm glad you liked it. The 70's had tons of these songs. You are right about "not over the top". That's the difference between musicians and pop artists
Thanks for doing Little River Band! Not many reactors have discovered them and they are really worth listening to. They have several good ones like this one that you'll "just like" as well! : )
So glad you listened to this great band, I guess they were just great song writers and musicians, keeping it fairly simple and to the point, good clean music can seep into the heart. Not bad since it is your first time hearing this. This band had its work cut out for it in the day as the 70's were a very competitive time in music and film. Yet they made their way with some other great hits I think you will like if you give them a fair go. These guys are from my home town in Sth OZ , and a friend I played guitar with knew them, from his time in another band. Just as an aside I swear I can see Randy Meisner in 2 short clips singing - Take it to the Limit, he is from the Eagles and died recently. Maybe a tribute to him. Cheers Angela and thanks !!
I've probably told you this before, but you have the sweetest facial expressions and upbeat personality. You are a joy to watch.! I'm looking forward to the Christmas countdown, and I put in my request way back when you first posted about it. - Joni
I like a song when all the parts fit together perfectly; I wouldn't change a thing. I hear a song for the first time and it seems like it's always existed. All that applies to this masterpiece.
What a wonderful Aussie band. They have a whole wonderful catalogue to explore. You will enjoy them. Such an unremarkable, remarkable band full of talent!
Hey Angela great reaction! I agree the song was very popular when I was a kid back in the seventies. It's catchy but not Something that would Stick with you but every time you hear it is like wow I like it!!
I think it is the simplicity that makes it epic. The play on words are also, for lack of a better word, fun (“feel for the winter but don’t have a cold heart”).
LRB has so many really nice songs.,They were a great Australian group. Worth a trip down the rabbit hole for you. I knew you d love the song as most do because they are very talented and you have good taste.
Great song, but I also like the Lady song by the band Styx! Reminiscing is one of my favorite songs by Little River Band that originate from Down Under or Australia! Shrimp on the barbee anyone?
The Little River Band- “Reminiscing” Is a great oldie.
A great song. Maybe their best.
Their best.
GREAT song
It's one of my oldtime favorites...must do it
@@bender21man Yes I love it! I have seen many other reactions and Reminiscing always gets a positive response.
People can say whatever they want but the 70’s was by far the best era of music ever made I don’t understand why people quit making music like this This is one of the best soft rock songs ever Songs like this are timeless Never gets old
“Cool Change” is another one of their great songs.
Agree ‘Cool Change is an awesome song so relaxing , love it
The original with Glenn S on lead vocals, not John Farnham's.
@@brewswillis9783 never knew they had another lead singer
@@davidellis7786 Farnham replaced Glenn from '82 to '87 recording 3 albums during that time. He's got a really good voice but I prefer Glenn, especially the ones written by/for him.
@@brewswillis9783 that’s good information thanks for sharing that
Love L.R.B. "Reminiscing", "Lonesome Loser", "Take It Easy On Me".......
"Feel for the winter but don't have a cold heart..". .Amazingly beautiful line..
I've been a fan for over 40 years, this music was high school for me. I'm glad to see that the magic is still there for some. Thanks for your reaction!
it's a sweet love song that is fun to listen to with my wife of 4 decades, we were young kids in high school when this was on the radio
They are so darn amazing ... and I grew up listening to them back then.
It's very sweet that you like the song but can't explain why...except it makes you feel good and smile. And you have a beautiful smile.
The first few seconds you just sit there expressionless and then he sings a note and you 😃 😊 😀 😄 😁. Beautiful huh? I was a senior in high school when this hit..as you kids say, 🔥 📛 👩🚒 🚒 🧯! God bless you 🙏🏼

Little River Band has been my favorite band for 40 years and I can't tell you why, either! They simply touch my soul.

Wow. I have two of their albums and had no idea they were Australian. Always thought they were from the U.S. SouthEast

Man young lady. There is a whole category of music by this band. Very underrated and lots of good music. Can never go wrong with LRB.

I saw them in concert and when they did this song they had a disco ball with lights shining on it. Simply magical, good song!
The Little River Band had that effect on people, it's hard to not like anything they did
Several groups and artists have done a song with this title. They are all great and all different! “Cool Change” is my all-time favorite Little River song. Little River is a very mellow and relaxing group, kind of like Bread and Three Dog Night. You will never go wrong with this band.

Your smile is infectious 😀
I've seen them in concert twice. Absolutely phenomenal band in concert.
@Commie Hunter Original
Love these days. Dude's looking like they were your history teacher getting famous and rocking
I remember hearing this on the radio as a little kid. So many fun times back then I miss those days so much especially now. 🤔
It just has a great sound...Dont question it...just enjoy
A great Australian band from the 70s that had several hits and their beautiful harmonies were one reason they were so popular
not too many reactors do them , Thank You! .I love these guys .
One of the greatest yacht rock bands of all time 👍🏻
I Still Hear this Song a lot on the Radio. I Fell In Love with it because of the Sensation of the Slow Sound and Lyrics.
Little River Band - great harminoes and an arrangement that just sweeps one up with it!
A very beautiful woman back in the stone age got into this band. We was so young, now we are both Grand Parents. Still wonderful friends. Funny how time flies.
Their entire Greatest Hits album is 💯
Always loved The Little River Band. A lot of great songs.
OMG this song. So awesome so 70s.

The background harmonies are in the same league with Queen, The Eagles and Van Halen. Very underrated band.
Their song The Night Owl is one of my all time top ten favorite songs. Lonesome Loser is great, too.
I agree there something happy and every note is perfect
Great band, I got see them in 1979, they were doing a show in front of the Sydney Opera House, in Sydney,Australia when I was there in the Navy great show...

Thanks Day,...yeah these guys are crazy awesome lol!
loved that song we were in high school
It's a long Way,,,Awesome LIttle River Band song
Don't over think it. I believe it's simple. You appreciate MUSICIANS! We don't see many of them today 🤣
Hey Angela great reaction! I agree the song was very popular when I was a kid back in the seventies. It's catchy but not Something that would Stick with you but every time you hear it is like wow I like it!!
Such a beautiful song
This was just one of those cool bands during their time.
Great pleasant music.
Reminiscing, Cool Change, Night Owls. Just a few of my favs.
Reminiscing is A Really good one! 👍😁🎶
A truly great tune and still remembered by many fans today!
great song......melody of the oldschoolers ...😉
If you love 'Lady', you'll simply die for the Billboard #1 song 'Reminiscing' .
Harmonies win the day... every day.
I think it is the simplicity that makes it epic. The play on words are also, for lack of a better word, fun (“feel for the winter but don’t have a cold heart”).
This song got me to your channel today, your reaction is what got you the sub. Can't wait to check out your other content!
The NAME of the singer in LRB is GLEN SHOROCK
LRB has so many really nice songs.,They were a great Australian group. Worth a trip down the rabbit hole for you. I knew you d love the song as most do because they are very talented and you have good taste.
I went to an LRB concert in the early 70's they were amazing,a great Aussie band
Great song, but I also like the Lady song by the band Styx! Reminiscing is one of my favorite songs by Little River Band that originate from Down Under or Australia! Shrimp on the barbee anyone?
Don't forget Lady by Kenny Rogers. Another great one. She sure got around.
You don't need to know sunshine 🌞 millions felt like it as well
I Love how she described the guitar Solo...... it wasnt fancy, or complicated riffs, but it was right in the pocket, I couldn't agree more honey !!
Good choice.
Such a great Australian band with many hits
