So same. And they are oh so relevant, still, to this very moment, actually. Saw them so many times in the 90's and I am sill smiling about those shows!
The depth and breadth of this song is amazing. it reaches down into the gutter and finds those of us that do not fit inside the status quo.i am not one that sits inside the norms that society has defined. I am happily one of the losers. I am a Native American that does not even belong to a reservation. i am a total loser and I love it. Look around those of you that are considered the "beautiful people." There are more of us and we are finding a way to make ourselves known and our opinions matter
He is and was very well versed in the days/todays problems, and the politics, etc. of Americas problems. I played with Warrior Soul after John Rico was fired. At the time, I was too young to appreciate his lyrics. But after that, I really listened, and knew, he was brilliant, and the rest of the “masses” to understand, and grasp ahold of his lyrics. I’m listed as among all the other guitarist after John left. But I was the 1st along with Alex “X Factor “ to join, and was with him for a year. Although his lyrics were great, behind the scenes, he was an asshole 100%, and DID NOT act as his lyrics portrayed. Which is heart breaking. My name is Chris Moffett. He ended up stealing my beautiful, loved guitar (which wasn’t a Gibson. I was signed to Gibson in WS and a band I was in before WS on Sony/Epic) and an incredible Marshall JCM 800 2210 and cabinet, all worth about $5,000. His explanation to me I was “fired”, that I was getting unemployment. It breaks my heart. And I’ll break his face when I catch up with him.
I remember seeing this for the first time on Headbangers Ball--yeah the one when Rikki wore his hair long-- and I was hooked. Been listening to this CD lately. Still powerful stuff after all these years.
Warrior Soul got me through some hard times, and still do 22 years later. Thank you! My son will be six years old today. Christian, I love you. You are the best thing in my life, and remember...you will ALWAYS be loved...you will ALWAYS be loved. ALWAYS.
I watched this video on headbangers ball when the 2 guitarists from Queensryche were hosting for Rikki Rachman back in 90' one of the best years of my life.
This song meant so much to me as a teenager. My mother had died when j was 14 and I was in a bad place. I saw this on Headbanger's Ball and related to it so much.
I’m sorry about your mom. Mine passed away with Alzheimer’s a year ago, and I can relate. I also was the 2nd guitarist in Warrior Soul. With love, Chris Moffett
I agree.. one of my favorite bands that ended up right in the middle of the changeover from the '80s to the '90s one of the last hair bands unheard. Considering they should have been as big as motley Crue I had to happen to a friend of mine about the time they were getting signed everybody started listening to Metallica band called solinger so they broke up and the singer ended up trying out for skid row and got the gig go Johnny Dallas Texas
I saw them too during that tour, but Kory being Kory he started chanting 'f*$k Bush' and the crowd booed them off-stage and unfortunately we only heard one song from them (I think it was 'Interzone'). Still love them though!
Ran sound for these guys in the 90's. Saw tons of bands. Chatted with them and bought the album that night. Very underrated... I thought they would be huge. Listening to it again after all these years I still say...one of the best!!
Awesome song. Always thought these guys should have been more popular. They were overshadowed by lesser bands like Poison and Skid Row. Their songs are forgettable, and this song is still beautiful to this day. To all my fellow losers (we aren't but the rest of society may think we are), I think you are all beautiful.
@@michaeltabor9664 Exactly lol, Poison, warrant and company weren't keeping these dudes down. The "hair metal" bands would bring alternative acts on the road all the time. These guys looked too LA glam with their leather jackets and long beautiful hair to survive the corduroy pants and shoulder length hair that was coming in fast
I LOVED these guys, and no one I knew had ever heard of them. One day a friend of a friend was giving me a ride home, and he told me to just pick anything he had to play and he had a Warrior Soul cassette. The whole rest of the ride home was "no one else has heard of these guys!" only person ever I have met who knew them...
I love You Tube. Found this one I have not heard since 1996. It was my classroom theme song along with Another Brick in the Wall when I was teaching a self contained classroom in a large metro high school for the kids who were labeled as Juvenile Delinquents with Emotional and Behavioral Problems, which it was my great pleasure to serve and aid them in putting their lives back together and undoing the damage the very schools, social workers and worthless parents had created.
Great band, I remember the first time i heard this on MTV's headbanger ball. I went out and got it the next day and played it time you couldnt read anything on the cassette...lol Good stuff!
I feel everyone that have commented. I was in and out of the music buisness and have listened to uncountable music scores. This is the only that reaches all the way down to my calloused soul. I'm a 61 year young never die metal head that still to this day gets tears in my eyes and all choked up when I listen to the true anthem of our lives. We live a lifestyle that is the truest of all." LET'S RAISE OUR GLASS AND MAKE A TOAST"
Albums Because Sure this Was A Master Piece But So Was DRUGS, God and the New Republic and The Salutations from the Ghetto Nation was Great Too. Chill pill and Space age playboys Weren't bad but Just Not The Same As Those First 3 Albums they Put out.
Lost a close friend few weeks ago, and he played this for me...we were eighties kids, metal heads...I miss him so much!... We smoked and drank and did dope slot ...this song means so much 😭
Thank you Warrior Soul for this music...I remember seeing you live the first time at the Cat Club, NYC, walking around the Village after the show, Thank you for being human and kind, I'll always love you.
Just saw them in chicago at the live wire a couple weeks back. Sure, his voice is rough, but what a great set. Super fun night. Crowd was totally pumped. Band was having a great time. Big thumbs up
I agree Kory Clark. I also love you dude. I love your voice. It is so recognizable, that it could be you, when you start singing. Thank YOU Kory for this phenomenal song. xoxoxoxoxo
My own personal Hymn. This should be played at my funeral. If there was anyone left that actually gave a fuck about me . Here's to the Losers, we are beautiful, shame that no one else knows... worlds most cruel secret.
I saw WS a couple of weeks ago at a tiny gig in Manchester at Satans Hollow, they were absolutely awesome one of the best gigs I have been to, I have enjoyed their music since the late 80s and it really was a night I will not forget. This band should have been huge, Kory has so much charisma. We met the band after the gig and Korys wife was selling WS T-shirts too!. I cant wait to see them again, hopefully soon.
One of my all time favorite songs ever. 54 years old, and this is awesome. Loved it when it came out, these guys were underrated.
I couldn't have said it any better!
I’m 60 and still rocking to this song in 2022
@@parisshelton8292 one the most underrated Metal / alternative rock bands ever ,They are fantastic !
57 yrs old and still rocking !
Warrior soul 🦵🦶🦵🦶 kicks ass !!!
This song STILL holds up
This band were waaaay ahead of their time
Yea your absolutely. Right never got the credit they deaserve
EDWARD WRIGHT hell to the yeah!!!
@@phillipwalls3703 Soooo true !!!
Everyone concurs
Sigghhhh….. yep. They should’ve been huge…even before I was in the band. I was the 2nd guitarist after John Rico. Chris Moffett
This deserves a million views. I'll never forget them.
So same. And they are oh so relevant, still, to this very moment, actually. Saw them so many times in the 90's and I am sill smiling about those shows!

Warrior Soul stands the test of time. If the rest of the world had listened to this music, the world would be a much better place than it is today.
very well said Mary
Its worst more than ever NOW!!!!
Amen to that!

I am so sorry to hear that Chris. I love the band but i do know he is an asshole
This world definitely needs a old school Warrior soul
One of the most underated bands with possibly one of the greatest rock songs ever written .
im struggling today i need this thank you
Lullaby?
These guys spread eagle and a band called law and order I used to go see in nyc all the time
100% agree totally underrated
I remember seeing this for the first time on Headbangers Ball--yeah the one when Rikki wore his hair long-- and I was hooked. Been listening to this CD lately. Still powerful stuff after all these years.
Me too.
First time seen this was 1990 at the marquee NYC, they headlined, opening was Love/ Hate; pretty much blew the the mind of this 16 year old “loser”👍🏻
Just about to write exactly the same words... back in about 1994
Yeah it still gets to me after all this time.
Anyone here watching in 2024?
Used to see them all the time when I lived in NYC!
Warrior Soul got me through some hard times, and still do 22 years later. Thank you!
My son will be six years old today. Christian, I love you. You are the best thing in my life, and remember...you will ALWAYS be loved...you will ALWAYS be loved. ALWAYS.
This song is my anthem every part of it hits home to much
I watched this video on headbangers ball when the 2 guitarists from Queensryche were hosting for Rikki Rachman back in 90' one of the best years of my life.
Me too . miss MTV.
Don't miss wacked GF
This is what, a quarter century old, but sounds and looks like it was made yesterday. Spine tingling!
have a listen to the remastered version on their classics album, awesome
best song ever written
... 90's - 2020 and still sounds great... what a tune, Totally agree!!
Absolutely agreed.
This song meant so much to me as a teenager. My mother had died when j was 14 and I was in a bad place. I saw this on Headbanger's Ball and related to it so much.
I’m sorry about your mom. Mine passed away with Alzheimer’s a year ago, and I can relate. I also was the 2nd guitarist in Warrior Soul. With love, Chris Moffett
And I’m still struggling….
Wow me too lost my mom at 12...in 1984..was in prison for adults at 16....this song still brings tears to my eyes ..im 50....now...
Hope you're in a better place.

Friken right we are even animals are beautiful a especially beautiful lord thankyiu lord for making me a beautiful woman. Beautiful song 👍👍👍👍
Opp women beautiful tune

They never got there do, they should off great band
Saw this tour in 1990, opening for Queensryche and they just killed it. Won me over that night, been a fan since. This song is powerful!
I saw them too during that tour, but Kory being Kory he started chanting 'f*$k Bush' and the crowd booed them off-stage and unfortunately we only heard one song from them (I think it was 'Interzone'). Still love them though!

actually outshined by grunge and Nirvana
Thank you brother.....
I assume it was an internal problem?...who knows,I donb't
they were GOOD

This is one of the best songs of ALL TIME! So powerful & emotional
I raise my glass, and make a toast!
...i raise my glass and make a toast..!❤❤❤
I can't get this band out of my head!!!! Grrr..........................
.
Pete McClanahan is the best bass player I have known. Rest in peace to a legend.
was he from Detroit?I heard the bass player was from Detroit!
which would make sense
Pete was from rhode island very cool dude !! Rip
he was a great guy
@@edwardluke6699
Now that is a fkn anthem!
Warrior Soul was one helluva band! Kory sang straight from the heart.
He speaks for all of me
I LOVED these guys, and no one I knew had ever heard of them.

I know exactly how that feels,
Keri Oleniach BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD!!!!!knowing we are not alone, we are. not the only ones!
:)
THIS SONG IS ON THE MONEY!!!
This song still gives me goose bumps.
I listen again and this is still better than anything around now in this day and age. Jesus the world of music is fucked.
Sorry, I forgot a comma. It should have read "Jesus, the world of music is fucked."
True American hard rock didn't die in the 90s, it just sought deeper connections, it was time to go back to the roots, here's to this classic...
story of my life......... great band, a forgotten sound, talent, words.....
We are always beautiful in God's eyes no matter what anybody one says ..
This still hurts my soul to listen to, but helped make me into the warrior I am today.
Thanx Kory
This song stil gives me chills all these many years later \m/ \m/
It's a shame how the world has forgotten how to make great music like this!
RIP Mark Evans been 5 years since you been gone but Warrior Soul lives on forever

Reee-diculous how good this song is.
saw them open for metallica in london ..brilliant !!!
Great band, I remember the first time i heard this on MTV's headbanger ball. I went out and got it the next day and played it time you couldnt read anything on the cassette...lol
Good stuff!
Corey Clark , love his voice.

I can still remember the first time me and my brother saw this video when it first came out.
amazing album from a band waaaaaay underrated
Yep.. was in my first townhouse in 1990 with a bunch of roomates and this played pretty much every weekend when we were partying...
only underatted by the wrong people
Alot of good memories this song brings...great band !!
Albums Because Sure this Was A Master Piece But So Was DRUGS, God and the New Republic and The Salutations from the Ghetto Nation was Great Too. Chill pill and Space age playboys Weren't bad but Just Not The Same As Those First 3 Albums they Put out.
Not many remember this song or the band but its def part of my playlist
This song made me feel that I belonged even though I was a misfit in high school. To my fellow losers, "I think we're beautiful."
This song will still rock when our grand kids are old and gray
my 6 year younger than me friend turned me onto Warrior Soul and believe it or not me and my older brother turned him onto "The Little Riverband"
2022. 32 years later, this song is still relevant. Younger generations: some of us fought the fight. Some lost. Some survived. Some still fight.
Surprised so many have heard this! I thank my mom!
Back when life was fun
@@AzathothsAlarmClock hehe, tru dat, but a lot of our lives were probably more fun then.
you're crying out, man...but the words are wrong...Here's to the Losers...the substance abusers...yeah the rejects.....classic lyrics!
I'm crying right now
My pops loved this song ive been looking for this for years! 😂❤
I agree, after I first came out of the hospital from getting shot twice I listened to Warrior Soul a lot. I can totally relate with these lyrics.
Im a metal head from waaaayy back how come I've never heard of this band. That guitar is off the damn hook. Love it
Even listening to it now is still sounds like it's ahead of its time
warrior soul... probarly the best band ever... the lyrics are outstanding..
This song was, is, and will always be special to me.
2023 and still hits home very hard.. absolutely a classic
Agree!
takes me back to a great time. used to have z-rock on the radio here and they played warrior soul often
Not sure why I thought of this song today, but here I am.
Same
A beautiful song that will last forever!!!!!
“‘Cause I think we’re beautiful” .
incredible song and cd,this band should be a lot bigger!
Lost a close friend few weeks ago, and he played this for me...we were eighties kids, metal heads...I miss him so much!... We smoked and drank and did dope slot ...this song means so much 😭
Thank you Warrior Soul for this music...I remember seeing you live the first time at the Cat Club, NYC, walking around the Village after the show, Thank you for being human and kind, I'll always love you.
One of or anthems when I was a kid..im 51 now and it's still fucking great!
This song calm every time i'm angry, thank you Warrior Soul
Such a shame, that this amazing voice is gone now.
Much more voices gone. Important what they have left. Great singer, great artists, great person! Matters most :)
You should have been in New York City last night, he played with Sebastian Bach. You would see that His voice has definitely NOT gone! // Jan
January Begent oml is there an upload of that somewhere??
Just saw them in chicago at the live wire a couple weeks back. Sure, his voice is rough, but what a great set. Super fun night. Crowd was totally pumped. Band was having a great time. Big thumbs up
Looks like Kory Clarke has new tunes
I agree Kory Clark. I also love you dude. I love your voice. It is so recognizable, that it could be you, when you start singing. Thank YOU Kory for this phenomenal song. xoxoxoxoxo
warrior soul 90s icons
Extremely underrated band. This song is friggin awesome!
on the 8th day god made warrior soul
I saw the video when it first came out on HEADBANGERS BALL when I was 16. 'Til this day, it is still a very heavy and meaningful song.
My own personal Hymn. This should be played at my funeral. If there was anyone left that actually gave a fuck about me . Here's to the Losers, we are beautiful, shame that no one else knows... worlds most cruel secret.
Brilliant but 21 years old, bought it when it came out, I'm feeking getting old.
Such a great song, I can't believe I missed theses guys as I dig what they do. ❤🤟
Three more amazing NY bands with albums you shouldn't miss from that same era:
- QUICKSAND - Slip
- HANDSOME - Handsome
- INTO ANOTHER - Ignaurus
Certainly one of the greatest choruses of all time
This tune has picked me up so many times ❤❤❤❤❤
This song....... got me through so much bullshit in my life. Thank you Warrior Soul!
I think this is the best song I've ever heard. A great message.
What a fantastic song... Great..
Stoked that my band is supporting these guys!
Yes. This one meant a lot!!!!
RIP Mark and Pete.
saw this band in 91 when they opened for queensryche in long beach and was instantly hooked. Great socially aware band .
Warrior Soul instructed The Blues Brothers that they are on a mission from God.
After all these years this record is still a treat to listen to.Only things that comes close is Dirt or Physical Graffiti.
One of the most passionate singers/writers Ever! Kory Clark.
I saw WS a couple of weeks ago at a tiny gig in Manchester at Satans Hollow, they were absolutely awesome one of the best gigs I have been to, I have enjoyed their music since the late 80s and it really was a night I will not forget.

It's amazing!!!.... I Don't have other words for this a brilliant song!!!
This song started my love affair with Warrior Soul back in 89. \m/ Class song; great hook; great, distinct voice; great lyrics; great band.
I think this sums up how 2023 has been for alot of people
I LOVE These Guys!!! One of THE BEST BANDS EVER!!!!
The song that introduced me to Warrior Soul, and the story of my life
Still amazing after all these years - keep going - we love you x
I listen to this today and it is as fresh as if it was produced yesterday.
Somethings are timeless.
I am still reduced to rubble when I see Mark.
Great song. What happen to the days when rock n roll was so f..king kick ass. I raise my glass and make a toast.
