My dad is in this video :) like that I can come back here and see him, he’s since passed on. I had the chance to be in it as well with my brother, but we both had to work. My step brother did costume design for this video, kind of cool to have all those connections. Closest I’ll ever come to fame 😂
I am also in this video as one of the people in the background of the church scenes. I just happened to be in downtown Kitchener that day and I was already a big fan of Amanda so it was serendipity. :) I still have Amanda's autograph I got that day.
Saw her recently on an afternoon talk show. She needs to take that passion, energy, talent and beautiful slightly raspy voice and show it to Canada, US and the World again. She is a hidden Canadian gem.
June 18-23 Just got back fromToronto's Massey Hall where Amanda knocked this song out of the venue. The girl hasn't lost any of her power and passion. Great concert that mixed her material with a great playlist of her existing songs.
I love this song sung by this singer. It is incredibly meaningful. Amanda Marshall rocks and living through a forced hiatus for 20 years and coming back strong proves it. I believe in her.
It’s too bad Amanda Marshall stopped making music. She has a wonderful voice and this is one of my favourite songs ever since it came out and to this day.
Canada is a country with great female singers:Anne Murray,Joni Mitchel,Sarah Mclachlan,Loreena McKenitt,Alanis Morrisette,Shania Twain and Amanda Marshall.
If only one person listens. It is awesome. Our mind is fragile and only needs 1 compliment and we will move mountains instead of falling into depression
One of the most powerful videos to go with a song. Don't take life for granted or the people who cheer you on along the way. Those that believe in you are the most precious gift you'll ever receive.
We connected with our son today. Cuttings a side of beef for his family consumption. Weird it was only him there. In my day everyone was there to enjoy the bounty of harvest. But we take little rewards as god gives them to us. This song still pulls tears. Because, we believe in him. Great song.
Today - after a rough day at work, I was in the groseryshop. Shopping for food for the weekend and this came up in the radio... Over the years I forgott about this song - sad ... This lyrics and her voice remeberd me of sooooo good times years back. Now I'm listening again and pushing the repeat button to it's egde... this lyrics mean so much to me now in 2021 ❤ my father said them to me - I belive in you ...
Your comment strangely resonates a lot with me 😄 It's funny isn't it? How these small little moments can feel so big, how they touch us and make us feel so much and how they take us back to simpler times and help us make connections with completely random strangers. I hope these days are better and you're doing well 😁💞
Artists like Amanda Marshall are some of the few that put PURE SOUL in rock, which is extremely difficult to do. She is up there with Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks and Linda Ronstadt in that category. Amanda is a solidified legend.
Her slightly raspy, deep voice makes her singing authentic and real. You think that she is singing directly to members of audience. There is nothing fake, contrived or "electronic altered" about her voice. She is the real thing. Hope to hear some new songs from her in the coming years. I've missed her.
Life-changing words. Pristine performance. Discovered this song in the late 90s, at a radio station I worked for. Still listening 2 decades later. Timeless record!
❤ What an incredible artist. So happy she's coming to Hamilton in June this year 2023. Got to see her many years ago and wow! She was amazing!. Welcome back Amanda Marshall.🎶🎵🎙❤🇨🇦
Dear Amanda, I first heard your song 20 years ago on VH-1. I loved it from the very first minute.I was 14 and your song inspired me, gave me hope for the things to come. I failed. Everyone and everything, I failed them all.. This was 10 years ago. Your song somehow still stuck with me always. I so much wanted to be like the guy in your song/video. Until I finally figured it out, 3 years ago - in 2016. I am just a guy somewhere in Berlin/Germany but I overcame my anxieties and all the things standing in my way. I shaped up, I am successful now, because I prayed a lot and because I always had your song in mind. Long story short;: I couldn't have done it without you and this song. This is the first time in 20 years I'm listening to it again. But it was always there for me, somehow. It stuck with me. Even when I stopped believing in myself, somewhere... there was always you and this song, telling me to keep on going. Thank you,. So very much.
Wow! What a beautiful comment to Amanda! I hope she sees this. I am so proud of you for being strong & getting your life back! Now it's time for me to do it as my life is in shambles 😢
@@ebonyfaith8064 Good luck Ebony. I feel the same, im in a horrible rut and cant seem to climb out. This song is inspirational because I will believe in you and maybe it will help me as well.
3:37-4:06 Always chokes me up. For anyone who is younger, life is short - don't take it for granted. When you're young, time goes slow, as you get older the years flyby, trust me.
tintin025 I can never get passed that scene because my Dad died around the same time this song came out.I just find it very hard to watch.And now my Mom is 81 and she can pass anytime and this song is beautiful but just too real.
Wow! People would cannot me tintin! Nice to meet you tintin. You're right about how time is. It seemed like my youth would never end, now it feels like a long time ago and time does go by fast when we get older. I guess we are time travelers, and the memories are mirrors.
@@FastFordClub Exactly! I'm 44 & feel like I graduated from high school just a couple years ago! I've never understood why time seemed slower in our early years... but unfortunately it sure does. 😔
this is my all Canadian rock inspiration right here. i saw her singing in bars when she wasn't even old enough to be in bars. Jeff Healey (may he always rest in peace) took her under his wing and then the problems with record companies showed their greedy faces, but guess what, she made it through all that and only let them keep her down for a time. what a strong woman she showed herself to be because i heard she's going back in the studio and on the road again and i'm sure she's going to stand those same #*%^@#$ right on their proverbial ears. you go Amanda and show them no kindness, just that same old "hard edged" rock. just look out at the front row, you just might see my face with the same old happy smile on it!!!. and you know why too.... because I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!!
+Dana W I know what you mean and feel similarly, except I do think she will finally release something. I feel the world is getting the short stick by her not making more music. It truly is a shame. She is amazing. Her music remains in my rotation because these songs are addicting to my soul. So, I for one, am keeping hope alive that she makes a comeback.
You helped me believe in me and my kiddies we used to dance to this back when VHS were still out lol so you've been apart of us for a longtime things got quiet and sad sometimes so I plugged in the taped and we danced my oldest used to move like you at 1 minute and 50 seconds the you were comforting a shield ❤
... and I love you for it, if I may say so, because it shows that you have a good heart and empathy! Or are you maybe sad because you’re alone and/or nobody believes in you? That would be really sad, and you should look for good friends as soon as possible! But if that's you in your Barbie video, then I can hardly imagine that you are very sad because then you are a very humorous and beautiful woman! Anyway, I wish you all the best! Keep your ears stiff, as we Bavarians say, if we want to cheer someone up! ;-))
one of the best written songs from her by far a song that can hit the same place in you no matter how many times you hear it ... amanda marshall is amongst the best ever canadian singers in in my opinion
I was fortunate to see Amanda Marshall live when she play McMaster a while back. Amazing live show. she is very talented. I find her music spiritually uplifting, especially the song "Believe In You ". I'm glad she is back to perform :)
One of the best things about this video is it was made in Kitchener Ontario Canada which no one had the balls to do back than. It was one hell of a memory if you to were living in Kitchener the week this was filmed. I will remember this till Alzheimer's kicks in 😅
This is really a great song and the song of our lives. My wife and I met each other as teenagers, which is where this song came out. It became our favorite song and our shared song. Today, 25 years later, we have experienced this journey together. Are married, have two small children and as fate plays with you, I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, with which we fight together and walk our path together until we reach the goal. A really nice song, thank you for that ❤
What is a gift? A gift is given by the Goddess. A voice like Amanda's truly is a gift...oooh touching me, raising feelings like few else. Greetings from Germany
Love you Amanda..im 60s yeats old .and i rember when Amanda opened up for Jeff.Healey..iRock and roll Heavens..i knew u was going to be the Super star then...Love u Mandy..u go girl..
Everybody needs people or at least someone who believes in him er her. This is encouraging and brings the best up in you! Amazing beatiful, amazing voice
ich höre diesen Song seit Tagen immer und immer wieder. Ein großartiger, gefühlvoller Song, eine wundervolle kräftige Stimme und eine bezaubernd aussehende Frau. Wahnsinn.......
Dear Amanda Marshall I Thank You So much for the most beautiful and the most hopeful Song in the World. I love you and your wonderful Voice. Best Greetings und very much Love from Solingen, Germany
her voice and ability and desire to be so magnificent a musician are a memory to me that will live on forever but what really took her under his wing to help her fly was Jeff Heally, one of our Canadian geniuses to get her there. RIP Jeff, my friend cuz Amanda wasn't even old enough to play in clubs when he made that happen.
I first heard this song on the Touched By An Angel soundtrack so long ago. I loved it then and I still do. Everyone needs to know that someone believes in them.
Looking at the video, it looks like the marathon is the man's journey through life. Life pretty much is a marathon, and you can get through it if you just believe.
One of the BEST, yet , MOST underrated female singer of all time..
WHY ARE WE YELLING
I thought she was gonna be huge! I wonder what happened to her? This album was great! ❤️
Kidney punch to the feels
Love her. A tremendous talent, but Canadian artists just don’t get noticed by the US market.
@@intentionaloffside8934 Drake: 😶
positively encourage others is genuine beautiful soul!
Great voice underrated

Very cool! and a good memory/ I am in this video I hand him a pen to get his signature,,, when he is older (office worker)
I am also in this video as one of the people in the background of the church scenes. I just happened to be in downtown Kitchener that day and I was already a big fan of Amanda so it was serendipity. :) I still have Amanda's autograph I got that day.

This performance, her voice, her passion brings tears to my eyes and gives me shivers!
Miss Amanda Marshall is so underrated.
Agreed..
Eh. It's better to tell our stories than be silent right?
It's about a little boys whole life in2 manhood,till he gets married ,gets old and dies.truley a masterpiece. 😊👍👍💋
@@jenniferwarshiniack796 much more than that. Love to You !!!

Most of the new generation dont even get good music like this anymore....
God I just adore this girl ! Brings tears when I hear her sing this song . What a voice !

Saw her at Nathan Phillips Square at New Years Eve concert in 1990's. Great concert. Great energy. Nice to see her back performing.
I love this song sung by this singer. It is incredibly meaningful. Amanda Marshall rocks and living through a forced hiatus for 20 years and coming back strong proves it. I believe in her.
It’s too bad Amanda Marshall stopped making music. She has a wonderful voice and this is one of my favourite songs ever since it came out and to this day.
she got screwed over by her managers
I absolutely agree she has an Amazing voice
it wasnt by choice and she is still performing today
@@bbruce995 yep... she shoulda been worldwide
I agree, she is amazing
Canada is a country with great female singers:Anne Murray,Joni Mitchel,Sarah Mclachlan,Loreena McKenitt,Alanis Morrisette,Shania Twain and Amanda Marshall.

Avril Lavine the punk princess🤘👊❤
I believe in Amanda Marshall
Todays female artists can't touch Marshall's voice!
Such a great artist. It's practically criminal that the rest of the world didn't catch on to her. She deserved so much more.
Perhaps a blessing in disguise
Great song and video. Amanda is amazing.❤❤❤❤❤
This song and video are so underrated. Truly moving and heart warming.
This is one that will never get old
So true
Here in Argentina is a classic song, 90s and the 2000 were not the same without her or Sarah Mclachlan songs
25 years later, and I still love this song!!! I had forgotten what a smoke show Amanda Marshall was!!!
What an incredible voice! ❤
This video is so good it's like the evolution of life from birth to old age 😊
If only one person listens. It is awesome. Our mind is fragile and only needs 1 compliment and we will move mountains instead of falling into depression
What an awesome voice. It's a message that many people don't hear enough in their lives.
Beautiful Woman with a great Voice 🤗😁💜💜💜🫶🫶🫶🤘🤘🤘💪💪💪💪💃💃💃🔝🔝🔝🎵🎶🎵🎸🎤🗣👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

How many yeats later this song still gets me emotional!
Every time I listen to it, it brings tears.
Just saw her perform in Kitchener. Absolutely phenomenal. It was like a dream.
I’d love to see her live!
Thank God she is back in great form!!
One of my all time favorite songs -- and videos. Ms. Marshall is a deep well of beautiful talent.
a truly great Canadian treasure.

I dated a guy in Montreal who introduced me to this song 25 years ago. A beautiful time... How time flies.
She is an absolute gem.

Shes cute, she's got an energic voice, i love her, i love her lyrics.❤❤❤
ich höre diesen Song seit Tagen immer und immer wieder. Ein großartiger, gefühlvoller Song, eine wundervolle kräftige Stimme und eine bezaubernd aussehende Frau. Wahnsinn.......
This was shot in my town. Good old Kitchener Ontario
RIGHT? I just figured that out when I saw Encore Records and Bullas glass in the background
Omg..I didn't know that. Cool. 😎👍
We have so much Canadian Talent. 👍🙏🤙😎
I have family in Kitchener and Cambridge.... Galt, Hesspler and the list goes on. Lol 😎👍🙏

Such a brilliant voice, and talented songwriter. Thanks for this
Man her range OFF THE CHARTS!!
I miss Amanda's music so much, beautiful voice and very beautiful girl.
This song is not only precious beyond words, but it is truly timeless! Love!!!!
Absolutely and totally first class all the way.
The whole album is AWESOMELY AWESOME 🙏👍❤😎
I cannot she is not more popular than she is....she is incredible
her voice and ability and desire to be so magnificent a musician are a memory to me that will live on forever but what really took her under his wing to help her fly was Jeff Heally, one of our Canadian geniuses to get her there. RIP Jeff, my friend cuz Amanda wasn't even old enough to play in clubs when he made that happen.
Beautiful Classic Song.....Thank You Bye JeanFrancois
I first heard this song on the Touched By An Angel soundtrack so long ago. I loved it then and I still do. Everyone needs to know that someone believes in them.
Every year I dedicate this song to my son on his birthday. today is the day.Happy birthday Spencer! Love you.
Looking at the video, it looks like the marathon is the man's journey through life. Life pretty much is a marathon, and you can get through it if you just believe.
Amanda, you are so special and unique and your music touches the heart of anybody who appreciates REAL musical talent.
