I can hardly listen to this without crying for my sister who died far too young at 37 . We both loved Daryl Hall and Oates and sat at the front row in all of their concerts so .. this song means a lot to me.
Music can release any and all emotions in us. I LOVE music. I also hate it. This might be my favorite song of theirs, but I get weird listening to it. The words are almost verbatim what I think about my son's passing. So sorry about your sister.... I'm going to stay hopeful that one day me and you can listen to this song without tears of sadness...just smiles.
It's undoubtedly a good one. I also like, 'Well, I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer...the future's uncertain and the end is always near" - Jim Morrison Granted, a different 'vibe'.
I was 16 in 1976. What a magical time. The music coming out of the radio was a great soundtrack to be young to. Didn’t realize how lucky I was to live in such an innocent time when the future looked so bright.
I saw them in a small club in Atlanta in 1976 called Alex Cooley’s Electric Ballroom. It was a Wednesday night, $5.00 in enter and penny beers. One night I will never forget!
Wow I didn't I really didn't know them in 1976 I got married to my first love and we used to listen to what he taught me rock you know far in all led Zeppelin and all that stuff wow but I go to learn about Hall & Oates in the 80s and 😊
seems in todays world you don't need talent to make it in the music industry....all show and no go....miss the 70's and 80's music ...the absolute best era for originality and talent.
Nov 2023 , I'm still listening to the music from the 60s 70s and 80s... Music that will always be heard... Especially in grocery store aisles as you shop!! Aging those who are still signing them....
I assume everybody watching the video was familiar with the song, so what didn't they like - the arrangement, the performance, the camera work?? Unless they had their heart set on watching H&O lip sync to the album track I don't know what is the problem. Great work by all involved.
I grew up in the 1970’s. Songs were magical , and there was an innocence and excitement for the future. I feel so sad for the kids in these present times and generations who will never experience that pure joy
I feel sorry for today's generation who see politely discontent being prosecuted to the fullest. In my day this was considered as JOB SCARED OLD GUYS DOING WHAT THEY FELT THEY HAD TOO. ALSO SEEN BY THE YOUNGER GENER A TION AS WHAT THEY FELT THEY HAD TO DO. Remember Kent State. Marches in DC all over the nation. Today this sort of discourse is considered a felony.
These were days when the music wasnt only about the "lead singer". We had bands. The music had heart and soul, and brought amazing energy. Love of the times.
I was seven years old when this song was released, my father, grandfather and two uncles were playing this while sipping on beer, I was the only one who thought that this was a black group and I said it loud to them, they all laughed and said "no, everyone has soul music within them, and regardless of color always keep an open mind." To date, hall and oates are one of my favorite groups of all time, rest in peace Willie, James, Dale and Adrian (my father, grandfather and two uncles).
This takes me back to a time I didn't have a care in the world. Just wanted to ride my bike, play baseball, hang out with my friends and listen to the radio.
Me and many other kids from my neighborhood spent so much time outdoors. My group of friends (we didn't all know eachother real well, but it didn't matter....we needed more kids to play certain sports, unlike tennis or hitting golfballs on an open field) got together to play baseball during summer break. I played several outdoor sports even when summer break was over. Almost everyone needed bikes since it was normal to for kids to ride bikes everywhere. Staying inside the house during the summer break was not even thought of an option if it wasn't raining! Me and my closest friend always figured out plenty of different things to do....all accomplished without spending hardly any money despite all the hours of enjoyment each week.
My folks grew up listening to Daryl Hall and John Oates. Then once I came around, they played their music throughout the day and I became hooked. Thanks mom and dad! 👍🏼
OMG look how young they are....Daryl Hall, bless him is in his 70's..as we are...still singing this in 2023 - in his show LIVE FROM DARYL'S HOUSE. 'everybody's high on consolation'...what a great, aching lyric...
John is the primary songwriter for this song. Daryl said that, he gives John credit as the songwriter for "Shes Gone" and many other of their hit songs.
It ranks at the top of my list. I'm 61. This song came in the 70s. SHE'S GONE. So is this era if music. But I'm hearing it today. I listen. I t takes me back and i love this song and the time in my life I'll always remember. Wish i could go back
In 1978 I left a small town in Montana, and went to San Francisco, and started nursing school. Talk about culture Shock!! This song was very popular. Great memories, We had a BLAST!!
His voice was amazing...I wish they had stopped before the 80s though! "Private Eyes" and "Your Kiss is on my List" ruined it for me. But "She's Gone" and "Sarah Smile" make it all good
This song is the most pure proof of the skill of these two artists that I can't stop listening to after more than 30 years . The combination of both voices is just pure perfection. I love John's voice particularly in this song. One of my favourite Hall and Oates tracks
My dentist knows I love oldies. He asked me once, “What is your favorite hall and Oates song?” W/0 skipping a beat I said,”man eater because I am one!” Who would dream they would tour shortly after that? Went to see them, they sang everything.
Incredible still . I was blessed to grow up in the 70 's and 80's . They used to write and perform actual music back then . It had actual meaning. When you were done listening it touched your soul . It helped you hang on . There was no sampling . There was no aggrandizement of thuggery and violence. Truly a shame what music had become. No heart . It's empty . Just because you can hit 15 notes doesn't make it great . They still play our music , and will for decades. Love to my brothers and sisters.
Ya know, I also grew up in the 70's and 80's. My all-time favorite bands are Rush, Styx, and 38 Special. That does not mean I agree with your assessment of today's music. If you actually listen, I mean really listen to a lot of the music you feel is glorifying "thuggery", I think you'll discover that a whole lot of it is warning the listener to avoid that life at all costs. I also believe that every era has some incredible artists. From Prince, Kanye West (as much as I hate that guy I cannot deny that he is a musical genius) to the Foo Fighters and Ed Sheeran. If you don't realize that music still evolves just like it did back in our day and always will, then man, you haven't really opened up your soul and you're missing out.
@@msexton1968 Okay the "thuggery" rap litterly goes into the heart and soul, what you consume it was you bring into the heart and soul. The singer doesn't warn the listener to avoid that. That's why kids think it's cool that their pants are halfway down their but and act all tough and hard. This singing of "thuggery" is crap culture okay. There's people who turned stupid. This music is 100x better than the "thuggery." Don't try to counter or I slip then hit you back with my counter, and the punch ain't going to be a good one.
My 33 year old daughter loved Hall and Oates and when she passed away on February 10, 2014, this is the first song we played as we gathered around her.
I was a eight year old third grader when this song came out. If I heard this song on the radio on my way to a baseball or football game as a youth, there was stopping us, we'd win. Teammates would ask, " did you hear the song!". Today I'm 60 years old and still love this song!!
im listening, and they were great. im a fan and they did some great songs..love this stuff. appart from the memories, these songs have real talent in the making. what lets them down is the reproduction between those days and now, but there is nothing we can do about that!!
For roughly a decade between the late 70's and the mid 80's, no one and I mean no one could hold a candle to these guys, easily one of the best duo's of all time
I. AM AND ALWAYS WILL!! My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE Hall and Oates song. Darryl's voice is so...mmm...perfect....wonderful...just...mmmm...yeah, it's like that. So so so good!! And the lyrics! And the harmony! and the instrumentation! The arrangement! It's just wonderful! And, if you look up this song "live at Daryl's House" with Rob Thomas (on youtube), it's 99.9% as good as the original.
I was born on the day this song was released and my parents told me I danced out of the womb and laughed and moved to this song my whole first year of being on this Earth. Years later I am now a Dancer and Singer.
Wow, I would have been a toddler when they did this and was much more familiar with their later stuff, but this is outstanding. Couldn’t help but think of Flight of the Conchords for the first few minutes though.
I was 16yrs old.. and whilst the average teen girl was madly in love with the phone.. my heart belonged to the radio!! Now I'm 63.. and still in love!.. music is life. Thanks Hall & Oats ❤❤
Daryl Hall had the better voice but John Oates was more eye candy for the ladies --- that mustache and chiseled physique definitely got the attention of the women
Yes, before the small hats brought us vulgar rap. They also brought hardcore porn on every child's cellphone, legal and encouraged in Palestine and in the U.S. and illegal of course in Israel.
Happy 73rd Birthday John William Oates April 7, 1948. NYC born.. He recorded his first single at the tender age of 18. Co captain of the wrestling team in high school. Wrestled in college too. Not a typical musicians life story. Many more John William..
I grew up in zip 19454. Use to see Daryl and John at the Main Point in Bryn Mawr in the early 70's You're right...Not Typical and after all this time....They still are really special!

@@duelingmurphys7868 I went to Lehigh. Saw them several times . And I went on to have a long career as being a flight attendant for 2 majors. Who knew???
As a musician I love playing Hall and Oates songs. Beautiful melodies and chords. The modulation at the end is like a mountain of whip cream. Watch the drummer grab his symbols for the hard stop. Timeless
so lucky to be given a true talent...music...in any way....keep going....never stop......im eccletic....if i like i like....all music end of day.......u take care and keep going......never stop
I love being born in a zero year! 1960 here. My ex father in law was 1930. I m so prejudiced about this i pity the fools born otherwise. Thats alot of people. I lose!
These two are definitely among if not the best duo ever in my opinion. From the first time I heard their music in 84/85 till now.They still sound amazing to this day.Their songs always make my day!!!
Sabrina Thomas Lol it's ok you probably not in your 50's or 60's but even so great music can be appreciated from any age.I got my 5 year old godson into music like this.
@@jaolin6042 `Daryl gives credit to John Oates as the songwriter on this one. I heard him say it before. I think Oates had the idea after he got kiinda stood up on a date by a girl he just recently met. lol, He wrote most of this one. One of their first few hits along with Sara Smile followed by many, many more they had.
Back when music didn't need anything but talented musicians and great songs by equally great writers. No computer gimmicks, fake stuff or anything else. Just timeless music that will far outlast anything today.
I never heard of this group before I’m 39 born in 85. I heard it on a Netflix show and felt in love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ this type of music makes me feel good and puts me In a great mood 🥰🥰🥰🥰
A true classic that remains timeless. All you have to do is hear the first few bars of music 🎶 and then Daryl and John start making their magic. Forever young! 😎 💘
This takes me back to my early teens, when the world was a far better place to be. What a brillant song performed by great musicians! This song will never get old, unlike me 🤫😉😎
One of the best songs ever written about a lost love and the beauty and purity of the music and their voices is just magic. Sorry folks but these are the facts
My 4yr old son in 2007, in his car seat, would belt this song out while I drove. I left it on repeat as he did not want to hear anything else while he was in the car. He's 15 now and I just had him listen to it. Man I just got a 💋 and a hug. Thank you Hall & Oates.
There's such great two-part harmony between Hall & Oates, I'm surprised that they didn't use it so much on their later hits. This remains their best song. I believe it actually charted twice for them.
I was 10 years old at the time this video was made. I enjoy their voices together, and separate. They are timeless, I agree, & I don’t understand why in the world would someone give this a thumbs down.
I remember playing this song over & over in 1977 when my girlfriend left me. We got married in 1980 & 41 years later still going at it. Love you always Darlene!😍
How can such a great song contain so many memorable lines. "My face ain't gettin any younger" Everybody getting high on consolation- Spend an eternity in the city-carbon monoxide helps me choke my thoughts away. These guys--The eagles and Billy Joel came up wit some of the greatest American poetry ever written--throw in Paul Simon too. Absolutely great poets with great insights and lines.
Pure , raw talent...nostalgia....takes me back...waaayyy back..If life could be so lite and carefree again..Love/ed this band...Sooo incredible. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for giving us decades of your incredible mind and talent! Still here in 2021!!!! 💙🙌👏
Amen I love this song hell I’m 63 years old I love good feeling music good for sure soul if u lived long enough too underwater real love put it music 🎶 u will stay in love she ❤gone
![Eagles - I Can't Tell You Why (Official Video) [HD]](/img/n.gif)
My god, to grow up as a child in the 70s I'm not sure any of us knew how good we had it. The music was just STELLAR.
Grew up in the 70s and have memories hearing this song on AM radio in my Dad's 73 Pontiac.
I Agree
MN, what memories. Could go on beach at night and not be scared to death. Sleep with windows up. Man, kids just don't know, do they?
Just excitedly, dumbly, blindly believing that rock n roll was just going to continue to get better and better... fools we were, fools we remain...
Amen 🙏
Who’s still cranking up this song in 2021? Still great after all these years!
Yip! Ken, this makes the world go round!
I'm listening. I was around when it came out.
Me, me, me
Great music
Yeah… fresh as ever
Still holds up today. Their voices are so awesome, pure talent. No crappy background show to distract you. Pure musicianship. Love these guys.

It was my older sister who turned me on to Hall and oats
"I need a drink and a quick decision.."
One of the best lines ever put in a song.
She's gone by Hall & Oates
It's undoubtedly a good one.

Boy this live performance sounds damn good. Hall and Oates don't have any bad songs.
I totally agree! :)
Italian Girls was pretty bad.

This takes me back to a time I didn't have a care in the world. Just wanted to ride my bike, play baseball, hang out with my friends and listen to the radio.
Me and many other kids from my neighborhood spent so much time outdoors. My group of friends (we didn't all know eachother real well, but it didn't matter....we needed more kids to play certain sports, unlike tennis or hitting golfballs on an open field) got together to play baseball during summer break. I played several outdoor sports even when summer break was over. Almost everyone needed bikes since it was normal to for kids to ride bikes everywhere.

Wouldn't it be great to be young like that again but to know what we know now?
Just saw a show announced near me. Daryl Hall, Todd Rundgren (whom I saw last year) and Daryl's House Band.
Oh hell yes!
Love live at Daryls house!
The only take away from this sing is how underutilized Oats was in this band. He is awesome in this song
Daryl gets most of the attention on their songs, but John did a great job here. He's got a great singing voice.
Yes indeed. He could hold his own.
That's because John was a backup singer and he knew it. But he always said that he was a great backup singer.
Yes he does
John is the primary songwriter for this song. Daryl said that, he gives John credit as the songwriter for "Shes Gone" and many other of their hit songs.
John's harmonizing both vocally and on guitar are certainly overlooked by many
These brothers have soul. This music never gets old.
I believe the term back in the day was Philadelphia Blue Eyed Soul.
It ranks at the top of my list. I'm 61. This song came in the 70s. SHE'S GONE. So is this era if music. But I'm hearing it today. I listen. I t takes me back and i love this song and the time in my life I'll always remember. Wish i could go back

they dont make recording like this anymore, much less live!
This is still my favorite song 53 years later. I never get bored listening to this music. This song is legendary and won't be forgotten
Still a favorite of mine. Man, I did a lot of walking then. Should have stuck around with one of them.
This song came out two months after I broke up with a long-term girlfriend. I was 24 then, I am 70 now. Holy hell!
I wish music was still like this. Proper singers, proper musicians, proper songwriters. Timeless
If you ever fell in love this song will bring tears to your eyes

You are pretty right on what music has become. Few people listen to this now, but this is what real music is and lets enjoy it you know.
The people that gave this a thumbs down are in denial and they think she's coming back.
LOL, thanks!!
Good one!

Very funny.
I remember when I had my first beer. 😀
BAD ASS SONG
Maximus Meridius must have been in the 90s when that ill quip was funny
My 33 year old daughter loved Hall and Oates and when she passed away on February 10, 2014, this is the first song we played as we gathered around her.
Sorry for your loss and thanks fro sharing
My deepest condolences for your loss. May your future be composed of only hope and strength. God bless.

II thought my wife leaving me was bad you just broke my heart all over again💔
That's very sad I'm sorry you lost your daughter
Classic song. The multitude of instruments is nothing but spectacular. One of the greatest songs of all time.
Hall & Oates made some of the best music ever!!! I love these two brothers!!! Music like this is not around anymore!!!
They sure don’t make em like they used to!
This song is a literal work of art never get tired of hearing it❤
Still good in 2022 !! Love this song today & all others
I'm 60 yrs old now I grew up with the best music 🎶 🎵
We did, didn’t we…..?
And into 2023! What beautiful voices in this heartfelt song ... Both guys are perfect in tthis songd
Any better time ?.. no.
I was a eight year old third grader when this song came out. If I heard this song on the radio on my way to a baseball or football game as a youth, there was stopping us, we'd win. Teammates would ask, " did you hear the song!". Today I'm 60 years old and still love this song!!
Any other Hall and Oates fans out there besides me, listening to this legendary group in 2021?
4 hours behind you! This is great stuff! There's a recent, wonderful cover of this from 'Live at Daryl's House' with Rob Thomas and Daryl Hall!
desde sus inicios,siempre fabulosos
Arcadio saberon Drummer Eddie Zyne just passed he has joined that heavenly rock band in the sky🙏🥁🧡
Arcadio saberon Me!
im listening, and they were great. im a fan and they did some great songs..love this stuff. appart from the memories, these songs have real talent in the making. what lets them down is the reproduction between those days and now, but there is nothing we can do about that!!
For roughly a decade between the late 70's and the mid 80's, no one and I mean no one could hold a candle to these guys, easily one of the best duo's of all time
In terms of number of albums sold, they are the best musical duo of all time (according to Rolling Stone magazine).
Whos still cranking up Hall & Oates in 2021 ? She's Gone!
still crankin' baby!
Meeeee
Good song to send an ex love this song
Loading up on nostalgia, baby!!! Best times of my life. 😎🙏🏼
I. AM AND ALWAYS WILL!! My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE Hall and Oates song. Darryl's voice is so...mmm...perfect....wonderful...just...mmmm...yeah, it's like that. So so so good!! And the lyrics! And the harmony! and the instrumentation! The arrangement! It's just wonderful! And, if you look up this song "live at Daryl's House" with Rob Thomas (on youtube), it's 99.9% as good as the original.
This song still holds up today .. Great voice .Great band...
Never get tired of this song. Brings memories.
me too Patricia....lots of memories...
I was born on the day this song was released and my parents told me I danced out of the womb and laughed and moved to this song my whole first year of being on this Earth. Years later I am now a Dancer and Singer.
What a great way to start! ❤️
Best comment ever!!!
Awwww
Awwww
Whos still cranking up Hall & Oates in 2019 ?
Going to see them in July ...Can't wait
me here!
@@jakesleg63 Where?
@@3mrcapricorn Here in Ireland....Cork..in July
anyone with good taste.
I was 18 in 76. Grew up with these guys . Thank you
18 years in 1977.
There will never be music like this again, priceless.
And they make it look so easy.
Almost 50 years later, and these guys still sound fresh as hell!
The best! Old people get it!
Well, this was probably at the very least 25 years ago
it says 1976 in the title, so probably 45 yrs ago.....
How do you get Alexa to stop
Wow, I would have been a toddler when they did this and was much more familiar with their later stuff, but this is outstanding. Couldn’t help but think of Flight of the Conchords for the first few minutes though.
I was 16yrs old.. and whilst the average teen girl was madly in love with the phone.. my heart belonged to the radio!! Now I'm 63.. and still in love!.. music is life. Thanks Hall & Oats ❤❤
Im 74 and love this!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
😊
At 71 I am here ✋️
Me too
JOHN OATS HAS A BEAUTIFUL AND AWESOME MANLY VOICE .. WOW
Indeed
And a manly mustache
He's very sexy LOL he really captures a woman's eyes
Daryl Hall had the better voice but John Oates was more eye candy for the ladies --- that mustache and chiseled physique definitely got the attention of the women
He adds the punch
Man, this totally brings me back to when the world was a better place.......
Anyone listening tonight
I totally agree.
Yes, before the small hats brought us vulgar rap. They also brought hardcore porn on every child's cellphone, legal and encouraged in Palestine and in the U.S. and illegal of course in Israel.
George Waters shaking your hand
So true
John Oates has an incredible voice!!!
AMAZING VOICE
And he wrote this song.
I’m 35 and this song hits hard. What an effing duo. Every song great. Every song a hit.
Happy 73rd Birthday John William Oates April 7, 1948. NYC born.. He recorded his first single at the tender age of 18. Co captain of the wrestling team in high school. Wrestled in college too. Not a typical musicians life story. Many more John William..
I grew up in zip 19454. Use to see Daryl and John at the Main Point in Bryn Mawr in the early 70's You're right...Not Typical and after all this time....They still are really special!
Thanks for the info, nice stuff to know!
@@tallyho2249 A very Happy 75th Birthday Daryl Franklin Hohl. Born in Pottstown, but is a Philly boy at heart.. Words can't express the contribution you have made in rock/pop music. many, many more Mr. Hohl..

@@duelingmurphys7868 I went to Lehigh. Saw them several times . And I went on to have a long career as being a flight attendant for 2 majors. Who knew???
As a musician I love playing Hall and Oates songs. Beautiful melodies and chords. The modulation at the end is like a mountain of whip cream. Watch the drummer grab his symbols for the hard stop.
Timeless
I like the way you describe things wish I could hear you play
My brother is a drummer has played most of my life and I'm a bit of a singer
so lucky to be given a true talent...music...in any way....keep going....never stop......im eccletic....if i like i like....all music end of day.......u take care and keep going......never stop
my all time fave at mo is peter sarstedd......where do u go to my lovely......
I am lucky enough to remember when this song came out. So lucky to be a child born in 1970!
I'm with you! Born in 1969!
@@debijean5140 Remember AM radio had all the music back then?
70's baby here!!
I love being born in a zero year! 1960 here. My ex father in law was 1930. I m so prejudiced about this i pity the fools born otherwise. Thats alot of people. I lose!
1968 and I remember!
Fabulous duo best of the best. Still digging them at 68
What a song! Still rockin’ it in 2024!
These two are definitely among if not the best duo ever in my opinion. From the first time I heard their music in 84/85 till now.They still sound amazing to this day.Their songs always make my day!!!
I meant their songs lol.
+Herall Dinnall I agree good stuff man. I was born in 84 so its before my time. but its not hard to know good music when you hear it
I'm not going to give my age away,but I love their music. yes your right,one of the best.
Sabrina Thomas Lol it's ok you probably not in your 50's or 60's but even so great music can be appreciated from any age.I got my 5 year old godson into music like this.
Richard Armstrong No doubt and I was born in 77 and love music even from the 50's and 60's as well.
Who is still listening to Daryl in 2021 🌹❤
I'm listening to Oates...
Still listening and just saw them two weeks ago. Hearing this live for real was unreal.
IO ancora li ascolto. CHE MUSICA ❤MA LUI ,DARRIL ,QUANTO ERA BELLO😍😍😍
The songs of this era never get old even in 2024...rock on baby❤
This is amazing!!!! The 1970s music is like nothing else.
In some ways better than the recorded version. Their voices were truly remarkable at this stage.
I think Daryl Hall's voice is even better now, and he's less pretentious.
Thank you.
About what? That the guy with the powerul voice had curly hair or that the guy high on coke had curly hair?
4 SURE !! I love H & O !!
lebarosky I like the recorded version a lot better. But this one is ok.
This oldies were and still are the best music. Songs were real from the heart most from their life experiences. 👏👏
I'm always here for Hall and Oates. Listen to them probably every day. All of their songs are my favorite, lol. ❤️🔥🔥❤️🔥#OldSoul
Daryl and John were a large contribution to the best music in the 70s, she’s gone, and starting all over again my favourites
Mine is Sara’s Smile
They had a ton of hits...
I never really appreciated the "Oates" half of this duo until seeing this video a few days ago. He's great!
Love this song,the performance
And he was a big part of the songwriting, coming up with the choruses for, e.g., this one and "Out of Touch".
Listen to possession obession! He sings lead and not a bad song
@@jaolin6042 `Daryl gives credit to John Oates as the songwriter on this one. I heard him say it before. I think Oates had the idea after he got kiinda stood up on a date by a girl he just recently met. lol, He wrote most of this one. One of their first few hits along with Sara Smile followed by many, many more they had.
Have you heard "Don't Cross Me Wrong" by John Oats? It came out a few years ago, Vince Gill sings back-up on it.
Back when music didn't need anything but talented musicians and great songs by equally great writers. No computer gimmicks, fake stuff or anything else. Just timeless music that will far outlast anything today.
I get your point but they used computers in this song. Synthesizers and that keyboard are computers.
@@binsbins1wave form generators are not computers. That's all synths were back then.
I never heard of this group before I’m 39 born in 85. I heard it on a Netflix show and felt in love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ this type of music makes me feel good and puts me In a great mood 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I always feel kinda proud when a British audience is hearing the best of American music.Love Old Grey Whistle Test.
One of the bands that helped me survive disco!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hahahahaha that's a good one bro!
50 years on ..this song still resonates of past relationships....timeless classic!
Reminds me of a woman, I can't say that to the new one.
I loved this duo and even more their music.
A true classic that remains timeless. All you have to do is hear the first few bars of music 🎶 and then Daryl and John start making their magic. Forever young! 😎 💘
Hello dear,how are you doing,how is the weather over there?
This takes me back to my early teens, when the world was a far better place to be. What a brillant song performed by great musicians! This song will never get old, unlike me 🤫😉😎
Cause we were young and didn't know
Pure music. Nothing distracting. Real musicians playing.
Growing up in the 70's we were blessed with great music and still enjoy listening to Daryl and John are one of the best.
One of the best duo bands of all time
Actually the #1 duo of all time.
Paulee Deverall Totally agree
factually they are the #1 duo band of all time
J Hyphy
Yeah, according to record sales.
Paulee Deverall tears for fears is up there as well
I have a huge smile on my face listening and watching them perform. Such a great song . I love them still after all these years ❤
One of the best songs ever written about a lost love and the beauty and purity of the music and their voices is just magic. Sorry folks but these are the facts
Thank God I was a teenager in the 70s. It’s so totally worth now being 65 ❤❤🙏🙏
Jesus what a mesmerising performance. The whole lot of them are super talented. The performance of this song is truly a masterpiece.
Your so right! it's spellbinding!
Ditto! Super Talented!
Still blowin' me away --
Amazing and all live! Those high notes are crazy good.
Davestar Similar to 10cc I’m not in love. Both outstanding seventies songs..
You can really feel their Motown roots coming out in this great version
Philadelphia sound. Detroit had the 60s. Philly ruled the 70s.
Marnie Hunter m
My 4yr old son in 2007, in his car seat, would belt this song out while I drove. I left it on repeat as he did not want to hear anything else while he was in the car.
He's 15 now and I just had him listen to it. Man I just got a 💋 and a hug. Thank you Hall & Oates.
Hello ,how are you doing,how is the weather over there?
There's such great two-part harmony between Hall & Oates, I'm surprised that they didn't use it so much on their later hits. This remains their best song.
I believe it actually charted twice for them.
It could easily chart a third time if someone covered it.
@@eddiemoney1093 Or if used in a movie soundtrack.
Trying to picture a duo sounding like this and making music this good these days... and I can't.
There are some youtube groups that have amazing talent.
look up Josh Turner and Reina del cid for two sets of duet groups.
More Than Words Song by Extreme
@@jessiebrant Have you seen the Jack Black & Jimmy Fallon version?! 🤣
@@Rai_S82 YES! Absolutely love it!
A break up song of mine at the time.
But Good News , we got back together & we just had our 39th anniversary! 😀😀😀

dad?
she wernt gone then
That’s a great story 👍🏽 love happy endings
I was 10 years old at the time this video was made. I enjoy their voices together, and separate. They are timeless, I agree, & I don’t understand why in the world would someone give this a thumbs down.
I remember playing this song over & over in 1977 when my girlfriend left me.
We got married in 1980 & 41 years later still going at it.
Love you always Darlene!😍
Congrats & best wishes.
Lucky man
I think that’s great- the lyrics are really something, huh?
That's awesome!💟👍💐
How can such a great song contain so many memorable lines. "My face ain't gettin any younger" Everybody getting high on consolation- Spend an eternity in the city-carbon monoxide helps me choke my thoughts away. These guys--The eagles and Billy Joel came up wit some of the greatest American poetry ever written--throw in Paul Simon too. Absolutely great poets with great insights and lines.
Great blue eyes soul brother
man u right
I need a drink and a quick decision...i paid the devil to replace her
Sorry Charlie, for the imposition ... pure gold
Pure , raw talent...nostalgia....takes me back...waaayyy back..If life could be so lite and carefree again..Love/ed this band...Sooo incredible. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for giving us decades of your incredible mind and talent! Still here in 2021!!!! 💙🙌👏
If u think this song is good check out daryl's house rocking....

Amen I love this song hell I’m 63 years old I love good feeling music good for sure soul if u lived long enough too underwater real love put it music 🎶 u will stay in love she ❤gone
Im 42 and this is one of the BOAT

Th Bone was the best bass player.
RIP T Bone!
Don't forget the wood block! Mmm-mmm!
