@@phildog75 No... he's literally singing about aliens. He even states that, every time he sing this song live....the song is about aliens...not "Cupid's arrow". ua-cam.com/video/4u3StTsVDD0/v-deo.html
I think it's about falling in love for the first time, something he had never felt before. All of a sudden, love comes walking into your life and it's a strange and alien feeling, with fate pulling the strings and whomping you over the head! :-)
Yeah; all the wording about "alien" this and "strange" that, I've always thought, is simply meant to convey the sense of wonder and newness one feels when "love comes walking in" into their lives. Suddenly everything seems different; someone else is with you at the center of your life instead of just you!
Sorry but it's literally about an alien encounter. Read up on the subject and it falls right in line with what many people claim they experience. Contact- asleep or awake- wake up to questions- there she ( an alien) stands in a silken gown. It's all there and Sammy has said that is exactly what it's about.
And at 72, Sammy can still get it.........Saw him in the 70s....NYC....Madison Square Garden......was back up act for Sabbath I think?...and was just his band Sammy Hagar....I knew then he would go far.....was mainly crazy on the guitar.....back then.....his voice transcends......IMO
the fact is Sammy simply has the better voice. Roth had a more "electric" personality and stage presence, but Sammy's the one with the actual vocal chops.
Dang India! Nice pull! Deep cut! Im a mega Van Halen fan and this album 5150 helped shape my life. When I was in 9th and 10th grade I would listen to this album everyday. Some may talk smack cause its a ballad or a catchy pop song....but Sammys voice is wonderful and the music is beautiful. The chorus is subtle yet strong and the way Sammy sings the verses are so powerful. That third verse breaks me every time. "Sleep and dream. Thats all I pray!" As always, I enjoy listening to music with you.
I grew up hearing this thanks to my Dad. Every trip whether it was to school, to the store, or to soccer practice, he'd play the 5150 album nonstop in his old f150
Van Halen is the name of the band because the guitarist and drummers Eddie and Alex Van Halen . Eddie recently died a few days ago and there was no new drummer. Sammy was to new to band at that time. Watching this made me cry because it brought back a lot of memories. I'm 50 I was 16 when this came out and I was in love with this girl who worked across the street from where I worked. But as it goes sometimes, she was in love with someone else. This song came out at this time. This reminds me of my past so much. The alien he's talking about means " some thing out of our control" Love at first sight.
Sammy was an awesome singer in the band. Eddie Van Halen is slammin' on the guitar; he is considered one of the best guitarists in the world. Alex Van Halen, Eddie's brother, has always been the drummer of the band. 5150 was /is a great album from start to finish. React to "Why Can't This Be Love" on the same album . "Dreams" is another great song off that album. :-)
I absolutely love 5150 and play the cd all of the time..Sammy Hagar(the Red Rocker), Eddie Van Halen, Michael Anthony and Alex Van Halen totally kicked ass on this album...
Thank you Eddie for all of the heart, soul and energy you put into your music. Truly "what dreams are made of" (VH lyrics from Dreams, my fave).. "Music kept me off the streets and out of trouble and gave me something that was mine that no one could take away from me" (quote) -Eddie Van Halen RIP 💗🎸💐............
And yes Sammy fronted the band from 85 to 96 , and no new drummer , the guitarist and drummer are brothers, Edward van Halen on guitar and Alex Van Halen on drums , Micheal Anthony on bass and Sammy Hagar is the singer
Now that Eddie has died, that last verse n chorus is definitely most poignant. Ah, sleep and dream, that's all I crave I travel far across the Milky Way To my master I become a slave Til we meet again some other day Where silence speaks as loud as war Earth returns to what it was before [Chorus] And then you sense a change Nothing feels the same All your dreams are strange Love comes walkin' in Some kind of alien Waits for the opening Then simply pulls a string Love comes walkin' in RIP EVH....thx for these memories
Yes his voice is awesome!! Lots of folks resented Sammy coz he replaced other lead singer. It's still Eddie tearing up the guitar. It's still Van Halen.
@@kylerobergottsberger116 no Eddie is on guitar and keyboards on the studio version it was only live on this tour that Eddie played a lot of keyboards with Sammy on guitar
He literally means alien. Hes mentioned it before. I believe he even wrote about it in his autobiography. He said he thought he was having a dream but later realized it actually happend. He said when he was young and just starting out that he had something downloaded in his brain by ETs. Hes also talked about some strange supernatural stuff happening around the death of his father.BTW hes not the only one I have heard talk about that happening. Its like a dna upgrade or something I think. Nikola tesla spoke about that at length. He claimed that many of is insights about the nature of reality itself and his inventions were downloaded from some universal field. Qauntum physicists have confirmed that this is happening.You have to tune into the field to access the information.
Aliens and alien abductions are real but the fact is it's demonic. There are in fact evil spirits that have even affected Rene Descartes. In actuality it's a distraction. Only Jesus Christ can save you. I realize this can look fanatical but in the battle between good and evil, everyone has to take a side.
This was my very first cd when cds first came out. Love Van Halen with Sammy Hagar better just because I relate to his lyrics and all out vibe he puts out. David Lee Roth was the party but like all parties, they get old and you just grow up. He put out some great music back then. Right Now, Seventh Seal, Cabo Wabo, Finish What Ya Started , Dreams are some other great songs from VH with Sammy. Eagles Fly, Mas Tequila are some great solo songs too. Sometimes the lyrics can be confusing but the vibe of the song can be just as moving.. You can make it a memorable soundtrack to a good memory. Liked the reaction but love how music can bring everyone together. Peace and love from Massachusetts!
Sammy Hagar is awesome. The drummer is Alex Van Halen the lead guitarist is Eddie Van Halen (brothers) and Michael Anthony on bass. Sammy started out in the late 60s and early 70s in a band called Montrose (Rock Candy). Then a lot of solo stuff (I Can't Drive 55), then joined Van Halen in the mid 80s. Sammy went solo again. Then in the early 2000s started a band called Chickenfoot. An all star line up. Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Joe Santriani and Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers). They did a couple albums and tours and now has a band called The Circle. He just turned 72 October 13th and is still touring. And still sounds good.
It was enjoyable to watch your video. I have listened to this song literally hundreds of times. I have never actually analyzed the lyrics like you did. It is a new perspective for me which is really cool and I appreciate it. What's always drawing me to Van Halen, particularly the song, is the melody, Sammy's voice, one of my all-time favorite guitar solos. I've never really put that much thought into the content of the lyrics. Thank you for opening that perspective for me.
Sammy’s combination of his belief of being abducted by aliens and falling madly in love with a woman. What a crazy combination but it works beautifully.
Absolutely. These experiences are very real to some people. We can look the other way or laugh them off, but some day ET could show up at your house. Will you be ready?

@@kornelious1 Sammy does claim that he was abducted by aliens BUT that’s not what this song is about. It is based on a movie and book about aliens. He’s talked about that many times.
What I understand it means is that the alien is "personified" of love as a feeling, since it says that it arrives without warning, suddenly and gets into your mind controlling it and now all that feeling for that person seems so familiar to you that you even dream about that person... The part about the string means that that feeling is waiting for you to open your heart to enter.
It's not about 1 person..Its happens when you fall in "LOVE". The feeling & how it takes you over. Not just love someone but,..IN Love when you can't think about anything or anyone it takes you over!!
Even my cat loves this band she's looking out the window and her ears are pointed back at the speakers, she likes Journey as well she likes lots of music but she really likes Van Halen. who doesn't?
Okay Alex Van Halen the drummer started the band and his brother Eddie Van Halen is the lead guitarist they are brothers and they both own the band so they called it after their last name Sammy Hagar is the replacement singer for the old singer lead singer David Lee Roth Michael Anthony plays the bass guitar and Eddie does the Rhythm guitar lead guitar and keyboards. All band members are backup vocalist. And yes you did react to Eddie Van Halen's guitar solo I love that reaction thank you
The song is about LOVE. Falling in LOVE. Meeting someone that you FALL in LOVE WITH. LOVE , when you don't have it, the feeling, when it happens. Capeche? Lol
Van Halen takes their from the last name of the guitarist and drummer; Eddie and Alex. They originally had a singer named David Lee Roth, who was a total showman. Very bombastic and over the top. You should check out a few videos with him in it, such as "Jump" or "Hot for Teacher." The band developed some issues and David left the band. Sammy Hagar, who was an already accomplished singer, was asked to join. Their style changed completely but still put out quality music. Skid Row is another band you should check out for a late 80's vibe. Check out "I Remember You"
oh yeah you picked a good one....this song absorbed the last drops of eighties plastic cool, piano over synth ensamble, lead vocals with a tad of delay, dazzling drums, eddiie and mickey’s perfect backing...i feel like drinking a pink wine cooler and watching Miami Vice
Sammy Hagar was the new lead singer first time with Van Halen on 5150 after David Lee Roth left the band. You need to review the whole album! The band's name is Van Halen, after the lead guitarist Eddie Van and his broth Alex Van Halen on drums. Alex is the older and tells of stories coming home to find his 14 year old brother up all night practicing on his guitar, and so in time the band was born from the Brothers bringing on David Lee Roth to head up vocals in the '70s and changing to Sammy Hagar in 1986 and who stayed with them into the early '90s.
What he’s saying about the alien is this: When you fall in love, it feels incredibly beautiful, amazing, soothing, positive, and uplifting. Those feelings all came about so unexpectedly and quickly because of a sudden new person in your life. How could that positive flood of emotions all of the sudden just manifest in you? It’s so sudden so quick and so good that it’s as if some outside or alien power just pulled a string and “bam” . . . this sudden amazing feeling got turned on inside you.
Much of music from this time period was designed to share a message or a sentiment about life that the masses (teens to young adults) could relate to. Before safe spaces and comfort dogs most of us would escape through and be inspired by our favourite artist and their works. For a moment we would close our eyes, drift away and soar high above our troubles. There was probably a song for most any common challenge that one would encounter and sharing that musical enjoyment with friends would become a special bond in itself. At least that’s how I saw it back then.
Check out 'When It's Love' from Van Halen. However, if you really want to get into some Van Halen. Check out some older stuff with the original singer David Lee Roth!!! Like........ 'Jamie's Crying, Ain't Talkin' Bout Love, Unchained, And The Cradle Will Rock, Mean Street, Everybody Wants Some, You Really Got Me', just to name a few! :-)
The alien was Sammy. He was the love that came walking in while they were at the top of the world, the best band in the world at the time, but with no lead singer and fear of an uncertain future. All after achieving everything they ever dreamed of, and after a level of contention brewed between David Lee Roth and the rest of the band, they were in a place that was dark and sad instead of happy and joyous. Once you look at it in that light, it never hits the same again.
This song deals with extra-terrestrials, which can interpreted as a metaphor for new love, or as Van Halen reaching out to new fans. 5150 was the first album Van Halen released with new lead singer Sammy Hagar, and Hagar drew the lyrics from some out-of-body experiences.
This is a song a about aliens... Contact is all it takes... Look at Sammy Hagar performing it in 1993. He explains just a bit. Great vocals, great song!!!
This song grabbed me from the get- go back in 86. Always was my favorite off this album. And after the departure of Diamond Dave we weren't really sure how Sammy would sound in his new band. Frankly I was a bit upset because his "Voice of America" with "I can't Drive 55" song had put Hagar on the map as a solid MTV artist. Regardless, Love Walks In is a beautiful composed song and Sammy's voice is as strong as it ever was. By the way, its called Van Halen because the drummer and guitarist are brothers with the last name Van Halen. Alex and Eddie, respectively. And no...no new drummer. Your info is wrong.
the Problem was not exactly hagar, he can sing rock of course, the productions after 1984 are different there is some good song maybe but not good albums.the real Van halen finish with 1984, after... they turn a bit Commercial, and Songs like this are the proof.Other bands have done the same error, in the same years.. like Judas Priest with Turbo..or Queensryche with Rage for Order..
Van Halen is the name of the band. But the electric guitar player is Eddie Van Halen and drummer is his brother Alex Van Halen. Since there is two members named Van Halen ( that's what they named the band) Plus, I think they started the band anyway. Bass player is Michael Anthony and Singer is the great Sammy Hagar. Awesome group/ musicians. Check out more songs by them. The first singer was David Lee Roth. Sammy is the second singer for the band.
The core of Van Halen is the brothers Alex and Edward Van Halen. the original version included David Lee Roth and Michael Anthony. fast forward to Sammy Hagar. and now they've added Eddie's son, Wolfgang Van Halen on Bass, goodbye to Michael Anthony. Don't know if they have found a new lead singer yet.
Michael Anthony's background vocals take this song to another level! He has got an amazing voice and was a huge part of the Van Halen sound.
Absolutely
Those synths are heaven to my ears.
and background vocals that glide in and out.
In my opinion "Love Walks In" is one of Van Halens best songs.
So underrated. To me this is song has everything in it way I love Van Hagar vs Lee Roth’s Van Halen.
Couldn’t agree more, love walks in is a masterpiece!
Eu concordo com você!!
It my favorite song of theirs so I agree
Sammy wrote the lyrics about Aliens, the magic is, Also a love song. The 2nd Stage of Mighty Van Halen
You MUST listen to "Dreams" from that album.
^^^
I was JUST thinking that.
@@cschulz9865 Dreams is awesome
Yesss i agree
The whole album is a must listen.
The song is about Sammy truly believing he was take in an alien experience !
He swears by it to this day.
This statement is actually a fact, about this song!
@@556Justice the alien is Cupid pulling the string on his bow and sinking his arrow of love straight into the heart, you'll never be the same

Its about Alex Van Halen's wife

Contact- asleep or awake- wake up to questions- there she ( an alien) stands in a silken gown. It's all there and Sammy has said that is exactly what it's about.
Sammy was ABDUCTED BY ALIENS that's what the song is about. He felt when he was younger he was abducted.
Indie, this is Van Halen with Sammy Hegar instead of original lead man David Lee Roth. I personally like Music made with Sammy better.
Blasphemy!
And at 72, Sammy can still get it.........Saw him in the 70s....NYC....Madison Square Garden......was back up act for Sabbath I think?...and was just his band Sammy Hagar....I knew then he would go far.....was mainly crazy on the guitar.....back then.....his voice transcends......IMO
Sammy all the way!!
the fact is Sammy simply has the better voice. Roth had a more "electric" personality and stage presence, but Sammy's the one with the actual vocal chops.
Van Hagar :)
This period of the band is referred to by fans as "Van Hagar."
Uh, not all of them.
The best version of Van Halen
Its how you feel when you fall in love and love takes over every aspect of your life.
Actually it's literally about an experience meeting an alien.
Sammy was ABDUCTED BY ALIENS that's what the song is about. He felt when he was younger he was abducted.
This is my favorite song of all time. it's the song that I can pinpoint for a fact got me into rock. I will never abandon it.
Dang India! Nice pull! Deep cut! Im a mega Van Halen fan and this album 5150 helped shape my life. When I was in 9th and 10th grade I would listen to this album everyday.
Some may talk smack cause its a ballad or a catchy pop song....but Sammys voice is wonderful and the music is beautiful. The chorus is subtle yet strong and the way Sammy sings the verses are so powerful. That third verse breaks me every time. "Sleep and dream. Thats all I pray!"
As always, I enjoy listening to music with you.
Sammy can put some real power behind his vocals, even to this day and he is now in his early 70's. And he's made millions off his Cabo Wabo Tequila.
I grew up hearing this thanks to my Dad. Every trip whether it was to school, to the store, or to soccer practice, he'd play the 5150 album nonstop in his old f150
The look when she first hears Sammy’s voice is priceless!
It's about an angel. An angel of Love. She walks back into his life.💗

One of the best concerts I ever saw, those guys really had fun on stage together. Anything on that album is stellar.
You really need to do Van Halen - I Can't Stop Loving You. Awesome song!
5150 album's golden 🤘🤘
Now that Eddie has died, that last verse n chorus is definitely most poignant.
Ah, sleep and dream, that's all I crave
I travel far across the Milky Way
To my master I become a slave
Til we meet again some other day
Where silence speaks as loud as war
Earth returns to what it was before
[Chorus]
And then you sense a change
Nothing feels the same
All your dreams are strange
Love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Waits for the opening
Then simply pulls a string
Love comes walkin' in
RIP EVH....thx for these memories
💗💚💟💟💟
Love this song! Thanks for reacting to it. Love your hair!
This is truly a great song by Van Halen ! I've jammed it since it came out and it's one song I find very hard to tire of!
Not only did Eddie VanHalen perform all of the guitars, he performed all of the keyboards. He started out as a pianist.
Hot Summer Nights! But that whole album is excellent .
Sounds like he’s remembering a past life. Like when he says reach back...remember with all your might.
Van Halen- “right now” or “finish what you started”
ya this is one of the more lamer songs on this album!
That's the thing about art. Nobody gets to tell you what it means. Even the artist.

Pronounced Sammy "HAY-GAR"
SAMMY HAGAR
Eddie Van Halen is the guitarist and Alex Van Halen is the drummer. It's named for them and mockingly as Van Hagar for Sammy's era.
What are your favorite Van Halen songs in order?
1 - Can't Stop Lovin' You
2 - When It's Love
3 - Love Walks in
Right Now or Panama - It is about falling in love. The alien is love taking over.
My father saw van Halen in the 1980s, and he said sammy sounds great live. He also said van halen sounded amazing, as awhole band
She's Alien,from another place and time get it?
Silver light shining down .. A fantasy 💘
They actually do a great live version of this on the Live without a Net, the same concert you reviewed Eruption for, if I recall correctly.
Its actually about Aliens 👽 real life. Sammy had a close encounter in the desert
Sammy Hagar claims he has been abducted by aliens and this song is about that very thing.

Sammy’s combination of his belief of being abducted by aliens and falling madly in love with a woman. What a crazy combination but it works beautifully.
More Van Halen!!!!
More Van Halen!!!!
Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!+
This song definitely has some DEEP metaphoric lyrics
"Why Can't This Be Love" is another oldie but goodie. FYI "Love Walks In" is about aliens.
But DLR does not care about love.
Sammy himself has said that "love walks in" is about.... aliens, literally aliens

Sammy Hagar was the new lead singer first time with Van Halen on 5150 after David Lee Roth left the band. You need to review the whole album! The band's name is Van Halen, after the lead guitarist Eddie Van and his broth Alex Van Halen on drums. Alex is the older and tells of stories coming home to find his 14 year old brother up all night practicing on his guitar, and so in time the band was born from the Brothers bringing on David Lee Roth to head up vocals in the '70s and changing to Sammy Hagar in 1986 and who stayed with them into the early '90s.
What he’s saying about the alien is this: When you fall in love, it feels incredibly beautiful, amazing, soothing, positive, and uplifting. Those feelings all came about so unexpectedly and quickly because of a sudden new person in your life. How could that positive flood of emotions all of the sudden just manifest in you? It’s so sudden so quick and so good that it’s as if some outside or alien power just pulled a string and “bam” . . . this sudden amazing feeling got turned on inside you.
This first line is also important…”Contact is all it takes to change your life”….
Much of music from this time period was designed to share a message or a sentiment about life that the masses (teens to young adults) could relate to. Before safe spaces and comfort dogs most of us would escape through and be inspired by our favourite artist and their works. For a moment we would close our eyes, drift away and soar high above our troubles. There was probably a song for most any common challenge that one would encounter and sharing that musical enjoyment with friends would become a special bond in itself. At least that’s how I saw it back then.
For a more rocking Sammy era song check out Poundcake, one of my favorites.
What a voice!!
Best Van Halen's song!
Listen to When it's love...Sammy's voice is crazy in that one and the harmonies are great. Great song all around!!
Check out 'When It's Love' from Van Halen.
However, if you really want to get into some Van Halen. Check out some older stuff with the original singer David Lee Roth!!! Like........ 'Jamie's Crying, Ain't Talkin' Bout Love, Unchained, And The Cradle Will Rock, Mean Street, Everybody Wants Some, You Really Got Me', just to name a few! :-)
You forgot the most important...Jump.
@@W81Researcher ....Nah, it's really not my favorite VH song. Eddie's guitar playing is great, just not a favorite
The alien was Sammy. He was the love that came walking in while they were at the top of the world, the best band in the world at the time, but with no lead singer and fear of an uncertain future. All after achieving everything they ever dreamed of, and after a level of contention brewed between David Lee Roth and the rest of the band, they were in a place that was dark and sad instead of happy and joyous. Once you look at it in that light, it never hits the same again.
Baby Baby Baby! love love youuuuuuu
Hot 4 Teacher...You really got me
Hi India welcome back!
Missing you! ♥️💙🕊🌹
THANK YOU MISSED YALL
This song deals with extra-terrestrials, which can interpreted as a metaphor for new love, or as Van Halen reaching out to new fans. 5150 was the first album Van Halen released with new lead singer Sammy Hagar, and Hagar drew the lyrics from some out-of-body experiences.
This is a song a about aliens... Contact is all it takes... Look at Sammy Hagar performing it in 1993. He explains just a bit.
Great vocals, great song!!!
That’s great.Great reaction.👍🏼😀😀😀😀😀!””
Sammy and Mike back in Van Halen please.....more of this music
Oh man, one my favorites ever by VH!! Thank you so much for this one!!!!
This song was about making first contact with Aliens - didn't realize it until I was a teen haha
This song is about Aliens. No joke either.
This song grabbed me from the get- go back in 86. Always was my favorite off this album. And after the departure of Diamond Dave we weren't really sure how Sammy would sound in his new band.
Frankly I was a bit upset because his "Voice of America" with "I can't Drive 55" song had put Hagar on the map as a solid MTV artist.
Regardless, Love Walks In is a beautiful composed song and Sammy's voice is as strong as it ever was.
By the way, its called Van Halen because the drummer and guitarist are brothers with the last name Van Halen. Alex and Eddie, respectively. And no...no new drummer. Your info is wrong.
the Problem was not exactly hagar, he can sing rock of course, the productions after 1984 are different there is some good song maybe but not good albums.the real Van halen finish with 1984, after... they turn a bit Commercial, and Songs like this are the proof.Other bands have done the same error, in the same years.. like Judas Priest with Turbo..or Queensryche with Rage for Order..
@@bigfriend4338 Wow...I thought no one else felt that way about Turbo and Rage for Order except me!!
Love IS Van Halen 🇧🇷🤘
Van Halen is the name of the band. But the electric guitar player is Eddie Van Halen and drummer is his brother Alex Van Halen. Since there is two members named Van Halen ( that's what they named the band) Plus, I think they started the band anyway. Bass player is Michael Anthony and Singer is the great Sammy Hagar. Awesome group/ musicians. Check out more songs by them. The first singer was David Lee Roth. Sammy is the second singer for the band.
I will never forget the first time I listened to 5150.
VH with Sammy was awesome. You should check out other songs during the Sammy era, many great songs.
The core of Van Halen is the brothers Alex and Edward Van Halen. the original version included David Lee Roth and Michael Anthony. fast forward to Sammy Hagar. and now they've added Eddie's son, Wolfgang Van Halen on Bass, goodbye to Michael Anthony. Don't know if they have found a new lead singer yet.
Truly a masterpiece. I love this song since I heard it in 1986. Sammy’s vocals are amazing!
