You're Amazing!!! Your reviews are great too!
if only
This song... more specifically your reaction to this song... was beautiful! Life can throw us a lot of stormy seas. The ONE thing that can right the (metaphorical) ship that is our lives, is LOVE.❤ I wish you all a blessed day!
agree !!!
You're absolutely right. Great comment 👍
That's Lou Gramm from Rochester, NY singing Angela. He's a friend of mine, and he just happened to be blessed with the greatest voice ever. But even his amazing vocals cannot touch his beautiful heart.❤️
Lou is a legendary singer, but his reputation as an incredibly nice person is even more inspiring and that's incredible
Please tell your friend how much he is loved and thanks for the all the great music!
Lou lives about 5 miles away from me (where the nice homes are, lol). I've seen him at our grocery store three times over the past 20 years (never with a grocery cart, he's way too cool for that ;-). People usually recognize him so I didn't get to approach him until last time, and I thanked him for all the music and told him I'd seen him live 3 times. He was SOOO kind, patient, friendly and nice, I was visibly a bit nervous, his singing and music has had such a potent impact on so many of us.
(I copy/pasted this from a separate comment I made, thought you'd be interested, cheers)
Awesome that you're his friend. I grew up in the 70s and loved listening to Foreigner. Then in the early 2000s I saw that Lou was going to be performing at the state fair where I live. I never got the chance to see Foreigner when they were together and I loved Lou's solo music too, so I decided to go the concert. In the time period leading up to the concert I decided to buy CDs of all of Foreigner's albums and his solo albums. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to that music again and hearing songs that I didn't know too. He WAS blessed with a great voice. I realized listening to the songs that he also sang clearly, so I could actually understand the words he was saying. There were a lot of artists I liked where I couldn't understand every word.
One of the greatest voices ever.
Lou Gramm was the lead singer for Foreigner. What a fantastic vocalist.
The best.!👍👍
Lou and Steve Perry have some of the best voices in the history of rock and roll. The music of Journey and Foreigner lives on.
Absolutely 💯
Steve was a crooner not a rock singer,
Lou makes him look like an amateur.
Add Survivor to that list.
Which one Eye of the Tiger guy OR
The search is over Guy?
This song is a Masterpiece
Lou Gramm has a great voice. Underappreciated.
This is a timeless classic. I grew up hearing this on the radio as a kid. When the choir comes in, I still get chills.
I'm a 6'2", 235lbs former Army Airborne Ranger and the final chorus still gets me misty every time. :) The New Jersey Mass choir ROCKED IT! The dude at 4:39 has a smile that lights up the sky. You can see he is loving this!
Thank you for your service ❤
Why did you feel it was necessary to reveal your height and weight?
@@number2055 Oh, is that a big deal to you? Basically it was a comfort statement saying that even big men can get hit with emotion from good music.
@@BigBadWolf1st Your response makes no sense. Can you explain why anyone would think a big man would not get emotional from good music? Rich Flath unless you are about 6% bodyfat 6'2" 235lbs is not big.
@@number2055 Please go out into the world and search for a life. Thanks.
After hearing this song a thousands times, it still touches me so deeply! That’s the gift of music: no matter what kind of genre - it can touch, heal, brighten up your day, make you sad, laugh, happy,… ♥️
Yes!
Foreigner had some brilliant songs, '' waiting four a girl like you '' another mellow powerful track or '' Cold as ice '' a more upbeat fantastic song ❤❤
This song & "Waiting For A Girl Like You" are 2 of the best Power Ballads ever written.. ♠W.G.
That was yesterday! Another great song!
Dirty White Boy....a classic.
Agreed Deb, 'Cold as ice" describes by ex perfectly!
Everyone should be moved by this masterpiece of music.
I'm sure we all are. It's a masterpiece!👍👍😊
The Living Years is not Foreigner, but Mike and the Mechanics, with Paul Carrack on vocals, another very good singer.
The Living years,By Mike And The Mechanic's ,Angela Was For My Dad As Well Darling!Both Songs Are Beautiful!
Living Years’ came Out when me Dad was killed…Rocked me…couldn’t listen to it for 10 years
Hello Angela: Deeply emotional song that taps into some universally shared wants/needs...and beautifully performed and articulated. The other song you referred to ("In the Living Years") was actually Mike and the Mechanics. Both are superb pieces of music history, and still resonate today.
Yep you got it. That came out a few months after I lost my Dad.. tell you what it still gets to me. What a beautiful song.
you could easily do a whole set of Foreigner. so many great tunes
Yes, Foreigner is a hit machine. So many good songs.
The fact they're not in the rock n roll hof is blasphemous!
Lou Graham. He’s like Steve Perry in my mind. Lou Graham is to Foreigner what Steve Perry is to Journey. That once in a lifetime voice that penetrates soul and brings you to literal tears. I remember hearing this as a kid way back when and it grabbed me and I was hooked on Lou Graham’s voice. Much like what happened when I first heard Journey as 6 year old. Voices like that are rare and deserve to be treasured. They’ve been fortunate enough to write songs that are heard by the masses that people like you and I can feel and relate to. If a song can move you like it did in your reaction video, mission accomplished. That’s what it’s all about.
When they were initially recording this song in the studio, apparently Jennifer Holiday could hear them recording the chorus and she walked in and started sining back up. She then became involved in the arrangement and the idea to get the New Jersey Choir in the the track.
Love the choir in this song
Great history
Thank you for acknowledging Jennifer Holliday's contributions to this track. Such a beautiful, underrated vocalist and person. Jennifer is a wonderful soul and listening to her sing is otherworldly. Most people dont know that it is the same woman who sings "And I am Telling You" as the main choir vocalist in this song. Thanks again.
"Waiting For A Girl Like You" is another one you should hear. 100% pure love; hold the heartache.
This song is one of the greatest power ballads of all time....😢
A lot of soul in that voice
No excuses no apologies we are enjoying your honest reaction to this wonderful song . Thank you for playing this been awhile.
I've heard this song a100 times - each time I get choked up and get a tears in my eyes. I'm so glad that you loved it also. Thanks.
Lead singers name is Lou Gramm.
Another great ballad of theirs is “Waiting on a girl like you.” And MANY banging hits like “Urgent”, “Hot Blooded”, and so many more- Foreigner is on of those rabbit holes- 🙂
This song gets me every time. You’re not the only one that it catches off guard.
It's one of them all time epic songs. Imagine having something like this in your repertoire. You wouldn't need anything else
Hi, Angela. I loved your honest, heartfelt reaction to this song. It's a very moving song especially towards the end when the choir joins in. A favourite of mine and was another one that was thrashed during a difficult time. Thanks for sharing. Stay healthy 👍🏽 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Thank you for sharing your intimate emotion, Angela. Beautiful.
I was 10 years old when this song came out. 40 years later this song still touches my heart. I cry a little bit too. ❤ Thank you for sharing. God bless you!
If this song doesnt stir emotions in anybody then they are an empty shell. Ive probably heard this song over 40 times in my 52 yrs and im still amazed at ehat a great song this is. Both he and the choir. They add so much to an already spectacular voice. Plus its an optimistic song. Something we are in short supply of these days.
This is not a song, is an anthem
Yes indeed!
The Living Years was done by Mike + the Mechanics; their front man was Paul Carrack and he also has an amazing voice. This gem of a voice is Lou Gramm. Both incredible vocalists. Loved the reaction 👍
This song is TIMELESS, PRICELESS AND MATCHLESS. It fits all colors & cultures.
This was one of the anthems of my youth! It touched me deeply back then and still does! I can completely understand your reaction.
Wow Angela! What an awesome breakdown of the song! You nailed it! We all need to be shown again and again what love really is! You are so right that we all become too cynical and too hardened by day-to-day life that we forget to LOVE! Great reaction video Angela!
Your understanding to the messages that is sent through music like this. Is beautiful The song was written to bring peace and love to the world between all of us that have been devided
It was obvious to me how deeply you were absorbing the lyrics! ❤
I love the way you can take a song and make it your own, then you are able to explain your feelings and how you can relate those feelings to all of us! Thank you Angela, your reactions bring me comfort and a smile! ❤❤❤
I'd walk 500 miles just to witness you smiling
This song has brought me to tears for some time now, but watching you tear up to it amplified the feeling. It´s like you understand.
If a song touches you that much, you know it's a truly great song!
This song went to #1.
Such an amazing record !
I am so proud of you! I'm 54. This music is what we were about, Black and White. We all listened to the same music. There was more racial harmony. This generation is so cynical, so negative and materialistic.
We wrote love letters to each other and mailed it, flowers, drwaings. We believed in love and making slow romantic love.
The singer lives about 5 miles away from me (where the nice homes are, lol). I've seen him at our grocery store three times over the past 20 years (never with a grocery cart, he's way too cool for that ;-). People usually recognize him so I didn't get to approach him until last time, and I thanked him for all the music and told him I'd seen him live 3 times. He was SOOO kind, patient, friendly and nice, I was visibly a bit nervous, his singing and music has had such a potent impact on so many of us. He's a small guy, with a gargantuan, passionate voice.
I didn't see it readily in the comments, but just for the record, you're confusing Mike and the Mechanics with Foreigner. No problem, just wanted to let ya know. Cheers.
It was a privilege to start playing guitar listening to these and many others from the time. Too top.
Music connects us all. Makes us feel emotions that we sometimes bury
Can't say I'm a Foreigner fan but this is a powerful song .The choir just brings it home. Your reaction was so real .
How can you not be a fan...hot damn.....very rare vocal talent
@@penderyn8794 i do like that song , very much. Not a fan of Foreigner's music in general though.
big hug from Australia,this song always rips me love QLD Australia thank you so very much.
Such a powerful and beautiful song!
That is a very sweet reaction. Never apologize for what you feel.
Exactly what you were saying. And that's exactly what's happened to our entire world. It's become closed off, hateful, and cynical, and the feelings expressed in this song are exactly what our world needs now. You described it so well. For me my kids at an early age brought this back to me. We all need to know what love is.
This world needs more beautiful music today it brings me closer to everyone and to forget all the bad.
This song is powerful but the video takes it to a whole different level!!! WOW!!!
Hi Angela. This song always hits me personally. I don't think I've ever experienced love...at least not mutually. I've been in lots of relationships in my life. Some where I've loved her more than she loved me, and some where she loved me more than I loved her. I don't think there was ever a relationship were it was equally reciprocal. It saddens me that I'll likely never know what that's like, especially when I see so many other couples completely in love with one another. But I look past it and try to enjoy life the best way I know how.
Thanks for this great reaction, though. I had a feeling you'd like this one.
He had me crying too, Lou Graham goes way back for me, I remember him being an outstanding lead singer in Black Sheep, from Rochester, NY before Foreigner. Those guys were awesome and it took the opportunity to play with Foreigner to really get everyone to know him. Great band and great song, one of many in their catalog. Try Starrider or Cold as Ice next, more awesome stuff. Your smile brightens my day and love your honest reactions that show how nice a soul you are. Rock On pretty lady! 🎵
The Magic of Music . And that wonderful instrument Gramm possessed
Great Great one of the greatest songs written, composed, arranged and sang. My mother, father and Aunt use to play this loudly everyday when it came out. Foreigner 👍
The singer's name is Lou Gramm.
Living Years is by Mike and the Mechanics. This song also hits me in the feels, but for different reasons.
On tours they still use choirs for this song (or so I hear). At one stop, they got a local high school choir to fill in.
Lou Gramm is the lead singer here.
I've seen Foreigner at least 6 times in concert. They worked their butts off to go so many places. The best part was they would come into town, work with local school and/or church choirs and have them on stage with them for multiple songs. Truly, fantastic!! As evidenced in this video!!!
OMG what a great reaction! Babe, you feel what so many of us feel....particularly as we grow older. I think we all grow cynical and we need to remember what it was like to have an open mind and to have a better outlook on life in general. I'm constantly watching reaction videos and yours really touched me! So genuine and beautiful.
This song brings tears to my eyes everytime. Love that you are so emotional. ❤🤗🙏
I really needed this. Thank You 🙏🏼💎
I have not yet been able to hear this song without getting teary-eyed or having an ugly-face cry!
You're not alone in those tears. An amazing song.
Your awesome Angela...great reaction and commentary.
Great power ballad by Lou Gramm. If this song doesn't touch your heart and soul...you ain't got either one! This song was covered by Mariah Carey, who also does a fine job. But Lou owns it!
There is an Old School song that will make you know how a real man should feel about love. The Dramatics, I Want to go Outside in the Rain. They don't make love song anymore like the ones I grew up with. Thank for being a Blessing.
Angela, it is just beautiful how emotional you got to this song. You absolutely nailed the meaning of this song, and you are definitely an "OLD SOUL". Another genuine, heartfelt reaction! LOVE IT.❤❤👍👍
Girl, you made me cry! I'm so glad that this song helped you feel such emotion. His voice was unbelievable at this point. I haven't heard him lately so I can't say how he sounds, but Lou has one of the best and most gorgeous voices out there. Thank you for blessing us with the reaction. ❤❤
the two songs do have a lot in common- not least your tears, an extra touch of beautiful🕊️
I feel you lil' sister. This song makes me cry every time.
Great song and music... all about life.
I could see at 2:27 it got you right in your "Feels". The song always gives me an upwelling of emotions I can feel in my chest.
Beautiful voice. He has overcome a brain tumor, listen to his solo songs. Warm rising sun. Midnight Blue. His solo is awesome 👌
Wow, what a beautiful reaction my sweetheart. Lou Gramm's voice is one of the iconic vocals of the '80's. This song evokes so may beautiful memories for me. 🙋♂ ❤
When you tear up, I tear up. You're one of my favorite channels!
Lou Gramm became a born again Christian after this song.
Foreigner got me thru High School. Loved these guys. Back them it was albums and I still have them all. Great band at the time.
Barely half way through and I'm wiping my eyes tooo! This song is SOOO Powerful!
Beutifull Voice black and white combination
My absolute favorite Foreigner song. So glad that it affected you on such an emotional level.
I’m with you on this!! Absolutely beautiful. Love the part when they shake hands and point to each other!! We had so much love for our fellow humans then black or white or blue or green that to me was powerful. This song has many meanings. Loved your raw reaction❤️❤️❤️
I love that handshake. To me it says I think your great and I'm here for you. I got your back.
As a man, I can relate to this song and it makes me cry. Go ahead and cry, good music can make u cry
If you don't know what love is , this is the song you have to listen .
Hi Angela great reaction the singer is Lou Gramm the other singer from Mike and the Mechanics is Paul Carrack both are wonderful singers.
Lou Gramm, he’s now a born again Christian with a great voice!! According to his English guitarist/co-writer Mick Jones Lou didn’t like the ballads as much as the real rockin’ songs, but Mick convinced him every time that the ballads would be hits and the rest is history….
I am an old white guy and I just love how there is no racism in music. Black and white musicians and singers just loving there time together to make music one of the most wonderful things that we have as humans on this planet.
Such a beautiful soul. When music touches the heart, it’s wonderful and personal to each of us…
This song is beautiful!! I remember my first time hearing it (when it first came out) and I listened to it over and over. Love your reaction to the words. It's nice to see reactions to the message in songs. Yours is perfect!
Wonderful reaction. "Watching and Waiting" by The Moody Blues" is worthy of a reaction as well.
So is 1983 Blue World by the Moody Blues. Awesome underrated song!
An absolutely gorgeous song. It’s amazing what music can do to you
Another great love song / ballad by this singer / group is I Don't Want to Live Without You. That song will also make you cry 😢
The backing vocalist who comes in towards the end is the amazing Jennifer Holliday, the original singer of "And I am Telling You I Ain't Going". If you haven't heard it, you're doing yourself a disservice!
Lou Graham was the singer. Great voice. Listen to any song off of their debut album...great band. I love your reactions. Cutest dimples ever.😘❤❤💋
Agreed, but it's Lou Gramm.
Your reaction brought me to tears! I can see that you are a genuine and beautiful person inside and out ❤
You put on such a great haunting love song and this is why I love watching reactions to people that have never heard such a song and drums and guitars and how love brings out the lyrics. Hugs to you.
Think you are getting mixed up with Mike and the Mechanics ' the living years ' ?
The Living Years was Mike and the Mechanics. But yes, this is definitely a beautiful song from Foreigner.
What a beautiful reaction, beautifully honest. Love you girl xx
Beautiful ❤. Ever since I was a kid, this song makes me feel like love is still out there for me and for all of us. ❤
