    Amber!!!! This song was THE song in 1984. It was everything, everywhere, all at once. It was the song playing on the radio in the car as my oldest sister and I drove to the hospital as my Dad passed away that September. I wasn't quite 13 years old. So needless to say, John Waite's Missing You always takes me back to that singular moment of my life.

    I always understood this song to be about a guy who really does miss the woman he is singing about, but he tells himself that he does not miss her so that he can deal with the pain better.
    He talks about ...."no matter what my friends say " .....which makes me think his friends can see that he really misses her, but he is in denial. Also, when he says " I can lie to myself " I took that to mean he can lie about not missing her to help him feel better, but it is still a lie because he really does miss her.

    Huge hit. Heavy rotation on MTV back in the early 80's. There's also great version of this done as a duet between Waite and Alison Krauss, who has one of the most beautiful voices in the business.

    John Waite evolved from "The Babys" in the 70's and 80's to solo (this song and others) on to "Bad English" and more. Great songs include from "The Babys;" "Isn't It Time and "Every Time I Think of You." This song (solo) and "When I See You Smile;" Bad English. A very interesting talent!

So many clueless people that dismissed the hard rockin Babys simply because of the name of the band. Bob Ezrin produced their 1st album right after Alice Cooper's Welcome to My Nightmare and KISS Destroyer albums. Ezrin doesnt waste his time....he knew they had massive potential.

    Just to kind of show you how all these bands intermingle....John Waite used to be the lead singer for a group called The Baby's. Their keyboardist was Jonathan Cain, who eventually became Journey's keyboardist. Jon had written the song, "Open Arms" for The Baby's, but John didn't want to sing it, so when he joined Journey, he showed them. Steve Perry loved it, but the rest of the band, not so much. They recorded and released it anyway, and it was one of their biggest hits.

    The irony of this song. This song was always on the radio back when I used to hang out with a co-worker. Somewhere on that line of kind of friends - kind of dating. We lost touch with each other over the years. It doesn't surprise me that it makes me think of him since it was always on the radio then. But it surprises me how true it is - I really miss him. And I agree - It's the line "I can lie to myself" that makes this song.

    The "I can lie to myself!" line is key. Great tune. Another suggestion for an artist you haven't covered yet is The Time (Prince's creation and "nemesis"). More popular songs of theirs are Jungle Love, The Bird, The Walk, 777-9311, and Jerk Out. Since y'all like Prince, you'll love Morris Day & The Time. Prince wrote pretty much all their music, but they definitely have a vibe all their own.

    I was 14 when this came out and had a terrible crush on a girl (Kippie) who I wouldn't see all summer. I wrote her a letter and closed it by saying, in quotes, "I ain't missing you at all"... Unfortunately, she didn't catch the reference and wrote me a very terse letter. I was so broken by her letter, I couldn't even write again to explain that she was all I could think about. Sadly, I was going to a new school and never saw her again. So yes this song will always have a special place for me. What could have been, Kippie.

    The 80s was a magical decade for music and I love it when you dive into that era. Corey Hart had some ballads like ‘I am by your side’ and a couple faster paced songs like ‘Tell Me’’. SAN, NS and IABYS are probably his biggest hits, 2 of which you’ve already reacted to. He’s also in the Canadian Artists for famine relief group Northern Lights (1985) along with a few other Canadian artists you’ve reacted to. The lyrics to that song are so powerful. You guys gotta react to that one to complete the circle as you reacted to 2 of the 3 1985 songs for famine relief (Do they know it’s Christmas AND We are the World). There’s an updated version with the artists names and the lyrics included.

    John is a great artist. Another great from the 80's that you haven't done near enough of is Richard Marx. I know you loved Right Here Waiting - but he has so many MORE amazing songs. Don't Mean Nothing and It's Too Late to Say Goodbye are a little more upbeat and edgy. My personal fave is called Lonely Heart. Very underated - but a fantastic song. It's a great rabbit hole to go down.

    Y'all missed the point on this one. He misses her like crazy. Basically, everywhere he looks, things remind him of her, but he isn't going to let her think he misses her at all ... even if his friends keep telling her something different. He's lying to himself and her. Good song.

    Hey Amber and Jay! I hope you both are doing well. This is one of my favorite songs and I remember when it came out and this takes me back to that summer. I was 12.
    Fast forward to last November. I’m driving in my car one evening and listening to some 80s music. My ex and I broke up last year and it still hurts. It was very painful for both of us. Thinking of her that night on the drive, I hear this song. The lyrics? Self-explanatory.
    I miss her everything. I miss our movie nights. I miss seeing her, talking to her, listening to her talk, you get it. And the thing is there’s a hole in my heart that hasn’t been filled by anyone since she’s been gone, but you both have helped me find something to look forward to every evening. Somebody once said that happiness is really just having something to look forward to. And I just wanted to tell you both how grateful I am for discovering your channel and getting to know you and your family. THANK YOU
    Like the others have said, John Waite had quite the expansive catalog of songs. You’ll definitely be pleased.
    🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

    John Waite was lead singer in The Babys when I first heard of him. Head First is a low key banger by The Babys. He was also in Bad English and other projects.

    From the 1984 album, " No Brakes", this was a post Baby's hit for John. This first line of this song was a hit song for The Baby's, " Everytime I Think of You".
    Just a great tune, written about John's marriage breakup, a lost love he left to find fame and his relationship at the time of writing this song.
    Great vocals, lyrics and addictive instrumentation made this song a big hit.
    Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦

    Not technically a NEW artist - on Bad English's song "When I See You Smile", John was the vocalist. John was part of a band called The Babys, whose lineup included keyboardist Jonathan Cain, who later was part of Journey. Bad English consisted of Waite, Cain, as well as Journey member Neil Schon and Deen Castronovo. For Corey Hart, you can do "It Ain't Enough", "Everything In My Heart", "Boy in the Box", or his cover of Elvis's "Can't Help Falling In Love".

  • @cathierockey5123
    @cathierockey5123 Рік тому +3

    Corey Hart, such a crush❤❤❤ Boy in the Box, he did a cover of Can't Help Falling in Love, I am by Your Side, It Ain't Enough, and Everything I'm My Heart. The three in the middle are my favorites of the ones listed. Never Surrender is also good, but you already reacted to that one.
    I'd still like to see you react to Adam and the Ants. Stand and Deliver, Prince Charming, or Desperate But Not Serious are some that stand out. DBNS, I think would be a better start for this group. Adam, the lead singer went out on his own later. Amber, Adam has that same thing Prince does. When you watch the video, you'll know.

    This song was in heavy rotation on MTV back in the day. I saw John Waite in concert a few months ago and he was fantastic. The band was stripped down and I swear that the drummer, Alan Childs, was playing the world's smallest drum kit and getting a huge sound out of it. They even took on Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love," and crushed it! Other songs that feature John Waite are, "Change," "When I See You Smile," or from his time in The Babys, "Midnight Rendezvous," "Back On My Feet Again," "Isn't it Time," and "Sweet 17." Jay FYI, The Babys songs are the rockers!

    Came out my freshman year of High School, times seemed more simple back then. I guess as a kid we’re sheltered. I must say for the last 3 years I’ve been listening to music 🎶 I grew up with. Music that we woke up to at home and that we played on our boom boxes on the beaches of So Cal. Those were the days, I am so thankful to have grown up in the 70/80’s. We had great music.

    My boy J and Amber! John Waite was in a band called The Baby’s back in the day. Story goes that, their was a music show that came on TV somewhat like Saturday night special called American Band Stand with Dick Clark. You may have heard of him! Big in the music industry! Dick heard The Baby’s music and booked them to play on his show live without even a trying out for the show! That was unheard of then. he love their music and their sound. You need to check out The Baby’s “Every time I think of you”
