Only those who were lucky enough to be around during the 80s and early 90s, and even then!!!! I asked my boss yesterday if he knew Richard Marx and he had no clue lol he is a country fan boy but whatever...Richard Marx 4 life baby!
This song is one of my all-time favourites, but there's a beautiful harmony between the singer and pianist that is missed in the studio recording. Absolutely beautiful.
Near to me the combinition of notes made this lyric imortal,, being musician i can say that when a composer listens his deepest smooth running heart beat can creat such imortal listening art, whenever i listen this song i feel like my soul scap from my body and aura
Mitch, I record and mix for a living and I´ve put these harmonies as an example of tightness and good pitch. I love them and it´s amazing how well the pianist sings. The chorus part is amazing. The 3:08 part gives me chills every time I listen to it, literally.
The other day I listening/watching a song Machine by Josh Groban featuring Herbie Hancock. I have the cd and then I watch the life video with the two artist in concert. I was just blown away, The live song was actually better than the studio recording! So yes, I totally agree with your comment. Big fan of Richard Marx.
The pianist Is great, sings great and compliments Richards voice very well ! Sad Richard doesn't get more credit as he's better than 50 or 100 of the so called artist they spit out daily. Btw Richard's voice is so much better by the years, controls it so good! Bravo!
This song is the pivotal moment when classic rock started incorporating pop motives. Modern rock and pop/rock music is based on exactly this principle. And to think he dreamt the whole thing while riding in his bus at 4am in the morning, it's amazing.
The Pianist is Steve Hornbeak, who has a long list of great artist that he's backed up. I had the great pleasure of playing drums behind him in his own band for a short while before he got hired to back up Faith Hill. He's one of the greatest musicians I've had the pleasure of making music with.
Out of nowhere this song was in my head today. I spent an hour trying to remember the words or even title. Then I remembered Mary being in it . Lol I didn’t a search for songs with Nary in the lyrics. And 💥 bam out of no where it was there. Thankyou for the forever mysterious song. My sister loved you growing up. She sadly is no longer with us. But, the memories will be with me always. God bless
Pra mim a melhor versão ao vivo dessa música , essa batida d violão , o acompanhamento dos violinos , sem falar q Richard é fora d série , e uma menção honrosa pra esse cara do piano q além d tocar muito tem uma voz do cacete .
Magnificent. My fave song he does of all. This song is SO powerful and his voice is unimitable perfection. I am IN LOVE with this song. It needs to be used in a movie. Its so emotionally provocative and haunting. Passionate. Just perfection.
This version IS my FAVORITE! The harmonies between Richard and his BU pianist are incredible. The two of you create magic together, Richard. I hope your pianist KNOWS just how blessed he is to be able to smoothly and effortlessly blend his voice into an incredible song with you that is and ALWAYS will be, A CLASSIC. I got chillbumps when I heard the two of you come together...and I've listened over and over. Masterpiece! 🌹💞
Richard Marx is number 1 on my Pandora choice every day! I am a Nurse in a wound care clinic and I play his station every day on my patients young and old love it! 🎼🎸🎹
Looks like this video was uploaded in 2012. Shame on me! This live version is freaking amazing. The piano man is fantastic. Everything sounds perfect in this version. I wish there were more music and singers like him today.
Amazing performance of this awesome song. Richard nails it, but the pianist doesn´t fall short. The harmonies at 3:08 give me chills every time I listen to it, literally.
after all the years, he still sounds amazing. What a amazing talent, voice and song. I miss the 80's. God bless You Richard Marx..Wish He would come close to Alabama so i could see him
Cuándo se une una magnífica voz y unos acordes reales y perfectos, no se necesita más. Una canción qué puede inspirar romanticismo y nostalgia, pero que habla de una tragedia. Maravilloso Richard Marx. Greeting from Spain
I could listen to your voice FOREVER...NONSTOP!! I start each day with my headphones on...and playing your songs, one after another...after another!! This is one of my favorites...of MANY!! Love you!!! AWESOME!
Too bad there isn't a LOVE button. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that one day, I'd open a show for Richard -- and get to see him. But we did. It's been alright.
February 25, 2021. I have listened and watched Richard perform this and yet tears still pour 💔 remembering when I lost a very dear young friend. What I thought a very bright intelligent business mind model. Green eyes and blonde hair. I had introduced him to a friend worried about him and driven a long way hearing him call my name. Then one day his old place he used to work gave me a prayer card with the sunlight on his hair. He committed suicide in his home and had shot himself. We all were torn by it. Even today I at least know I did my best and acted on what I heard his voice calling me and made sure in my mind that he had someone to reach out to not appearing as depressed as he was. His speed of learning was slow. But He always talked to customers.Be at peace love you're with him. When this brilliant star 🌟sings from the depth and brilliant skill I feel like he's carrying me through the memory to ease my mind. RICHARD MARX. Beyond all your classic hits this truly is of a Genius mind and all time TOP POP ARTIST MUSICIAN I feel of all time CLASSIC MODEL performances, presentationcinsisyency brings me to you EVERY TIME. I'm so glad I had the HONOUR of hearing and seeing you live 💕 many years ago and connects me having heard you live. When you've had that opportunity to hear a brilliant Artist as I did with RICHARD MARX, the emotional experience of being brought thru something traumatic as I did you keep that memory and it heals me every time having lost someone I loved and heard him call my name. Love me. 💘 💘😻💜💛💚🧡💘😻💜💛💚🧡💘😻💜💛💚🧡💘😻💜💛💚 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I don't know if it's you for real, or if you'll ever read this posts. But I think you are one of the most exceptional songwriters of all times. My mother used tolisten to you when I was I child, and I kind of grew up with your music. Since English is not my mother tongue, I had to try to figure out what your songs were about and then translate them to mom. This is one of my faves. Kuddos to your wife. Amazing songwriter / singer / musician.
Besides singing, Richard is doing some magic with his guitar! And the pianist nailed it man! Respect! It sounds much soothing than the original. I have been listening this since my childhood, it's been almost 17 years when I first listen this song. Till this song is telling me the same story again and again but i never get bored. Thanks Richard Marx for making our childhood so beautiful.
I'm watching this from Malaysia. I've always liked this song, and I always will and always have. I first listened to this song when I was a teenager. Richards still looks as good as he was.
(Such a nice live performance.) " y mother came to Hazard when I was just seven Even then the folks in town said with prejudiced eyes, "That boy's not right" Three years ago when I came to know Mary First time that someone looked beyond the rumors and the lies And saw the man inside We used to walk down by the river She loved to watch the sun go down We used to walk along the river And dream our way out of this town No one understood what I felt for Mary No one cared until the night she went out walking all alone And never came home Man with a badge came knocking next morning Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly Pointed right at me I swear I left her by the river I swear I left her safe and sound I need to make it to the river And leave this old Nebraska town I think about my life gone by How it's done me wrong There's no escape for me this time All of my rescues are gone, long gone I swear I left her by the river I swear I left her safe and sound Oh, I need to make it to the river And leave this old Nebraska town Ooh-ooh-ooh"
I've been a singer, musician (creating instrumental music/covers,etc.) and pianist for 26 years. This song is in my vocal range and I can sing it a lot like this. Gonna sing it at the next open mic night I frequent every month! I'm 35 but I'm the kinda guy that sings oldies like this. Was singing Brothers in Arms, last night, by Dire Straights. Looked over at this woman and she had her eyes closed. After she said she was welling up inside listening to me singing it. Hope to be this good, one day! But one can aspire!
This guy is about a thousand times more talented than any of these present day auto tuned pretenders !!.....absolutely great singer and songwriter !!
It's Richard fucking Marx..what do you expect..
I totally agree with you !
He is a real Angel like I am…There is nothing wrong with Catholic Communism…(Richard Marx-Karl Marx) Nifty mysterious. 😇
Nowadays, fast-food songs make me sick.
He is quite literally a living legend
The piano guy is a serious musician indeed, perfect both in piano and in vocals, top notch artist.
Absolutely spot on x
Exactly what I wanted to say❤
I could not have put it better myself. When someone is that good they stand out! 👍
Only those who were lucky enough to be around during the 80s and early 90s, and even then!!!! I asked my boss yesterday if he knew Richard Marx and he had no clue lol he is a country fan boy but whatever...Richard Marx 4 life baby!
This song is one of my all-time favourites, but there's a beautiful harmony between the singer and pianist that is missed in the studio recording. Absolutely beautiful.
Wow! He sounds amazing live after all these years...
The way he sings "Oh, I need" gives me goosebumps. This is the best live version of this exquisite song.
That and "I sweeeeaaar..." The harmonies are just SOOOO beautiful...better than I remember on the original album!
Near to me the combinition of notes made this lyric imortal,, being musician i can say that when a composer listens his deepest smooth running heart beat can creat such imortal listening art, whenever i listen this song i feel like my soul scap from my body and aura
Richard, the man at the piano.....great voice! I enjoy singing along, I am a" harmony junkie". Your voice is unique and quite lovely.
That seconds guy singing backup vocals makes all the difference, fabulous!
True!
Those vocal harmonies were tight as FUUUUUUUCK!!!
Mitch, I record and mix for a living and I´ve put these harmonies as an example of tightness and good pitch. I love them and it´s amazing how well the pianist sings. The chorus part is amazing. The 3:08 part gives me chills every time I listen to it, literally.
@@JotunStudio it's honestly the best example of professional musicianship! So locked in!
@@mitchcoull6290 , I wish all the singers I have in the studio would sing their harmonies like that, hahaha, but they are at the top of their game.
you know an singer is really good if they sound good live, and he sounds perfect.
So dam True👍👍😎🇹🇹

I agree 👍
🙄 it's sound like me...😏...
So much melancholy, so much sorrow, so much beauty in a song. Loved this song when i was a kid and still love it at 42.
13 years
This is a song
The pianist Is great, sings great and compliments Richards voice very well ! Sad Richard doesn't get more credit as he's better than 50 or 100 of the so called artist they spit out daily. Btw Richard's voice is so much better by the years, controls it so good! Bravo!
CM J they sound amazing together!!!
@@melodykeythis version sounds even better than the original version and this is live
Jens Sanford yes I agree
This song is the pivotal moment when classic rock started incorporating pop motives. Modern rock and pop/rock music is based on exactly this principle. And to think he dreamt the whole thing while riding in his bus at 4am in the morning, it's amazing.
Straight from the days of creating quality music.
One of my favorite songs. Such a haunting melody.
Homeboy on the keys is talented as can be
Richard was great.. but his piano man carried the spirit of this one and they smashingly killed it together! definitely a favourite!!
Andrew Fairfull His pianist was amazing. It makes it more haunting.
Angela Black agreed! Even the pianist voice suit Richards singing so well! That's what you call a perfect jamming!
The Pianist is Steve Hornbeak, who has a long list of great artist that he's backed up. I had the great pleasure of playing drums behind him in his own band for a short while before he got hired to back up Faith Hill. He's one of the greatest musicians I've had the pleasure of making music with.
Timeless... Richard's voice is stunning on this... Great song
Was? No. He is great
after all these years, it still sounds just like i remember, a mark of a true artist
I keep coming back for Mr Piano Man's wonderful harmonies...
Out of nowhere this song was in my head today. I spent an hour trying to remember the words or even title. Then I remembered Mary being in it . Lol I didn’t a search for songs with Nary in the lyrics. And 💥 bam out of no where it was there. Thankyou for the forever mysterious song. My sister loved you growing up.

The synchronicity alone of both tempo and notes during every line of those harmonies is even more work than genius.
Magnificent. My fave song he does of all. This song is SO powerful and his voice is unimitable perfection. I am IN LOVE with this song. It needs to be used in a movie. Its so emotionally provocative and haunting. Passionate. Just perfection.
Wish we had more artists like Richard, a singer who can sing live.
This version IS my FAVORITE! The harmonies between Richard and his BU pianist are incredible. The two of you create magic together, Richard.

Rich your wife was right.. Its a great song and this performance is amazing.. The pianist makes it with his effortless harmony
Yes it was her that convinced him that it would be a hit.
Richard Marx is number 1 on my Pandora choice every day! I am a Nurse in a wound care clinic and I play his station every day on my patients young and old love it! 🎼🎸🎹

This is a bit more JAZZY than the original .... LUV IT ! The strings and the keyboard are top notch .....
Besides singing, Richard is doing some magic with his guitar!
And the pianist nailed it man! Respect!
It sounds much soothing than the original. I have been listening this since my childhood, it's been almost 17 years when I first listen this song. Till this song is telling me the same story again and again but i never get bored. Thanks Richard Marx for making our childhood so beautiful.

Milion liked for Mr Marx , that was a music to love making in 90’s many thanks for a good memories Mr Marx! 😍
Que VOZ SUAVE! Pensava que era uma música romântica e descobri que é sobre uma tragédia
Então ! a tristeza da melodia me fazia pensar que era romântica, mas é tristemente trágica !
Já vi os noivos dançarem no casamento. Kkkkkkk

Beautifulllllll !!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤

BEAUTIFUL!!! WORDS, STORY , BLENDING VOICES AND JUST HIS VOCAL!!!!!! STILL AWESOME AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!!!!

One of the most beautiful song of the world!
Most beautiful, indeed. As a matter of fact, his songs have more sparkle than diamonds!!!

(Such a nice live performance.) " y mother came to Hazard when I was just seven
Even then the folks in town said with prejudiced eyes, "That boy's not right"
Three years ago when I came to know Mary
First time that someone looked beyond the rumors and the lies
And saw the man inside
We used to walk down by the river
She loved to watch the sun go down
We used to walk along the river
And dream our way out of this town
No one understood what I felt for Mary
No one cared until the night she went out walking all alone
And never came home
Man with a badge came knocking next morning
Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly
Pointed right at me
I swear I left her by the river
I swear I left her safe and sound
I need to make it to the river
And leave this old Nebraska town
I think about my life gone by
How it's done me wrong
There's no escape for me this time
All of my rescues are gone, long gone
I swear I left her by the river
I swear I left her safe and sound
Oh, I need to make it to the river
And leave this old Nebraska town
Ooh-ooh-ooh"
Richard's voice is like Velvet! I just time machined back into the 80s. That violin adds so much sentiment to the song as well. 👍🏼👍🏼
Not only a great musician, An amazing storyteller
How good do you want the background vocals and piano to be?
Yes
Amazing Artist!! ❤❤❤❤
Fn incredible version!! You knocked it out the park Mark’👊🏼
This is the Kind of Real Music ... Rare Talent ... Unlike NowAdays
Just two words. Utterly splendid! 🫶
