One of my all time favourite songs. Just watched them on the Kelly Clarkson show. Magical❤️ They talked of the stories behind their amazing songs and said it was Bernie Taupin who wrote this beautiful song. Never knew that.

The greatest decade! Greatest time to be a kid/teenager! Every day was a party! Future was so bright we had to wear shades! Greatest music ever! (even music i didn't like was better than the stuff i like today!) And it gave way to the I SUCK 90s!

These Power Ballads are definitely NOT cheesy. They're beautiful, well-written and brilliantly performed timeless classics. Much better than the rubbish that passes for music these days.
+Alejandro Rojas Actually the word "cheesy" does have a negative connotation. I googled the word and this is what I got (the second meaning) - (informal) - "cheap, unpleasant or blatantly inauthentic." None of those adjectives can be applicable to these Power Ballads if one is a fan.
I was born in 1978, I m 45 this year. Growing up as a teenager i didn't know how fortunate i was with the music of the 80s and 90s. Now at my age I've learned to love them more. I just want to say 3 things regarding the music of my generation, the 80s and 90s. Beautiful melodies. Meaningful lyrics and amazing vocals. I only wish that the younger generation would love the music that my generation grew up with.
I’m an 80’s baby and I play this beautiful song for my family, 2000 babies ❤❤ My son born in 2007 listens to songs dating back to Sam Cooke’s time. We travel to the past through music. I’m so thankful that my family moved to a city with tons of different cultures when I was around 12, I was fortunate with influences that expanded my aesthetics.
+passion4posh i know tell me about it. i love to strap myself to my little white chair, naked and alone. Then I take a little peanut butter (the smooth kind, not the nutty) and rub it all over myself why I let this beautiful song enrapture me in it's glory and bringing to me tears.
All of this nostalgia has been magnified now with the pandemic. It makes me long for simpler times for me when I was 9 years old listening to the radio just riding my bike around. Love my 80s
Yes! I remember hearing this song as my dad was painting an old house in my childhood neighborhood when I was 5. Even at the time I felt it...like I knew a lifelong memory was being created even as I was the only one aware. This song takes me right back to that.
I absolutely feel your comment. I was born in 78 and I remember all these songs and they take me back to a place, where I have very specific memories. Time waits for no man and onward we march!
Born in 1977. The song was played a lot on the radio. I am Japanese and it was an incredible hit in Japan at the time. For some reason, the song made my heart clench.
I was born in 76. I remember it on the radio here in the US, I loved the dreamy vibe it had as a kid. Also I’m American but I lived in Japan for 5 years. :)
@@nonbinary6834 I love them both. Nancy rarely is the lead but she has a fabulous voice as well. Have you seen Ann do the tribute to Led Zeppelin? Fabulous.
They certainly have great voices, i wont take anything away from other great woman singers like Kim Wilde, Whitney Houstion, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna. All great in their own ways.
I totally understand. I enjoyed all heart and more riding in the car with my mother too. Lost her almost 7 years ago and I still can't believe I don't have her to be able to talk to. R.I.P. Mom
I’m 47 and I have to agree…although u feel like I’m 30 tops. I’m so glad I lived during these times…no smart phones, no internet, no social media…just life! It was so perfect.
I listen to 80s music and it takes me back to when I was a little boy. My mom either driving us around or cooking in the kitchen. No worries just living , times were good . I miss those days
Who remembers the joyfulness of life back in the days when we had no Internet, less of alcohol and drug abuse, just kids running around the yard,sisters glued on magazines and novels, dads and sons fixing their toys...love had meaning by then,such music takes me back there....❤Swaziland 3:48 🇸🇿
@@Lateralas exactly lol...that is nostalgia talking haha. But I agree that 80s/90s music has a soft charm to it's ballads than has not been replicated since.
@Lateralas I agree to an extent about drug and alcohol abuse. I was born in 1980 and remember coke and crack cocaine being prevalent from the 80s throughout the early 90s. The opioid epidemic in the late 2000s (thanks, big pharma 🙄) was unlike ANYTHING I had ever seen before because it was so widespread in affecting so many different walks of life. Everyone...housewives, their kids, doctors, lawyers, teachers, the wealthy elite, middle class people, the impoverished...it sadly had a massive impact in affecting EVERYONE.
Born in 81 I can remember listening to this as a child. Songs like these makes me reflect back to a time that people cared, life was simple , but good..
I'm almost in tears by these comments. This era was full of light, I'm a young black woman, 37. I went to bed every night listening to soft rock and had some of the brightest memories. I had a lot of trials but home was warm. The 80's was aerobics, colors, L. A. Girls, Hearts across America movement, We are the World Anthem and camp stories to die for...the world today....💔😢 Never will be the same again.
41 and listen to mostly death metal these days, I still love Heart. The 80's were a great time to be around. I miss the hair and spandex the most. Don't miss cassette tapes whatsoever!
All music before the turn of the century had the human touch. The music was written by people.written by people who were real and alive. The music nowadays consists of synthetic garbage.
Ann is rightfully cited as one of the best rock singers of all-time... this is one of those rare intances where Nancy gets to show off her vocal talent... its not fair that two people should have that much singing ability...
I'll be 46 this year. This stuff takes me back to middle school dances, morning radio memories as I ate breakfast. The t shirts of these bands on the girls in the school hallways. I miss the 80s.
Man I love Nancy singing. Everyone knows that Ann has this type of voice that could only be equaled by Grace Slick, but people forget that Nancy can sure sing too. Man, she's so good!
I hear ya! It was always that ABBA kinda syndrome: will it be Agnetha on lead vocal or Frida?? Same thing here. Ann or Nancy? That tension of keeping us guessing was all part of what made it irresistible!
Nancy has more in common with Celine Dion vocally than she does any of the rockers you can name. Nancy may be a kickass guitarist, but vocally she reminds me of a songbird, yeah.
@@chrisPAT03 More like fills her shoes, she's a crooner not a rockstar. She sings THOSE kinda' songs, too. Kinda' epic, a little poppy, defo catchy af.
If you didn't grow up in the 80s it's so hard to explain what this music did for us. For some of us this was our only escape. Listening to these songs and playing them for my chilren brings back bittersweet memories. Hearing this in 2022 wishing better for our family's and upcoming generations.
Your right about that. The tech back then was simple. Strutting around with my walkman, thinking what a cool gadget, being able to listen to music on the go like that. Hahaha !
This was my cousin's favorite song. Rest In Peace Donna. We had so much fun at all the beaches and at all the parties in the 70s and 80s! I'll remember you always.
Interesting fact about this song. Ann Wilson doesn't sing the lead vocal, her sister Nancy does. The story is Ann couldn't sing because she was suffering from a cold and her voice wasn't sounding good so Nancy sang lead instead.
@@Magpieboy1 . . Both Ann and Nancy were sick . Nevison decided to go with Nancy . The record company loved it and asked how she got that nice raspy vocals to come out during the chorus . She said she was sick . They said “ on the next album can you get sick again ? “ true story lol
Dear ladies and gentlemen who borned between 70s and 90s, I am in my 20s, so not aware of such magical songs that existed in 80s, 90s. Please suggest more like this... thankyou for sharing
Anything by Phil Collins, Jon Secada's Just Another Day Without You, Chris Isak's Wicked Game, anything by Fleetwood Mac, Here Comes My Girl by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Anything by Journey or Toto....oh, don't get me started! Enjoy and blessings to ya.....................................................
My brother passed away two days ago and as I reunited with childhood friends I kept hearing this song in my mind and I remember it was just one of those hits of my early teens
Yes, yes it is...I always think of the 80's as not being more than 20 years ago. Then I remember my age and the fact that I was born in the 80s...and all the fun goes away LOL.
Imagine how being born in 1941 feels - if you're lucky. You won't feel older than 30. That guy in the mirror is your grandpa, not you. High school friends dropping like flies, but we still love this music. 70s and 80s were gold.
My mom just recently passed away to cancer,I dream of her almost every night, everytime I remember my dreams this song pops into my head I start singing it it helps bring me comfort given I miss my mom terribly! The pain is often unbearable at times
I always thought that Nancy is one of the most underrated guitarists in rock music history. This songs proves that when she borrows/steals her big sister's microphone, she is also one of the most underrated singers in rock music as well... BEAUTIFUL!!!
THESE Sisters are just what BEING a Sister is ALL ABOUT......LOVE, Talent, and FUN ❤️👍....... AND Don't they sound GREAT TOGETHER........ ALWAYS in My HEART❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🎵🎶🎵
I always loved Ann and Nancy but the rest of the band was really a fantastic band that was in the background and are unrealized as the really fantasiic artists they are!
THIS IS what talent looks like!! And frankly these two ladies ARE beautiful!! TWO THINGS today's female artists are lacking.......looks and actual talent!!! Ann and Nancy are so amazing, and don't have to rely on exploiting themselves to "make music"!!!
@@josemedeiros007 I did not know of Ann's fight with cancer. I will google update on her condition. My best wishes for Ann's recovery. Thanks for posting this info.
I personally think it's because pop music has grown as an industry and music has been reshaped to cater to that :( People still make great music but it's never as popular as the music thats written to sell :/ I can't really recommend any great modern synth pop other than maybe the Chromatics since it isn't as much my thing, but with some searching i bet there'll be quite a bit out there for you, I hope !
I'm not black and from continents away. But I'm from that generation too and I know what you mean. Music that our uncles and aunts listened to, and which reminds us now, all these years later, of those better times.
Some of my greatest memories are from the 80's era. The music had passion and will never be bettered. Ann Wilson was a rock goddess. Voice so powerful and unrivalled
My sincere condolences to Pickles. My first experience with this song was far less somber and yet somehow surreal; sitting on my front porch soaking in the beauty of the summer, while someone stopped at the intersection, and they were playing this song in a Honda Accord hatchback. And I've never since forgotten this song.
I totally understand your pain. We have lost a few pets, Doggies, already and it hurts so much. Never thought you could love them so much. Glad Pickles had a good life and was loved by you.
I know exactly how you feel. I remember when my first cat, Purrseus, died. That was some pretty strong anguish I felt. He made my whole family happy for 17 years, and it hurt to lose him.
Hell yeah man mass unemployment, giant hole in the ozon layer, mass famines in africa, half the world under soviet domination, insanely high crime all over the western world. #Nostalgia #Bringbackthefamines
Spare a little candle Save some light for me Figures up ahead Moving in the trees White skin in linen Perfume on my wrist And the full moon that hangs over These dreams in the mist These dreams go on when I close my eyes Every second of the night I live another life These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away 🎸🎸 Is it cloak and dagger Could it be spring or fall I walk without a cut Through a stained glass wall Weaker in my eyesight The candle in my grip And words that have no form Are falling from my lips These dreams go on when I close my eyes Every second of the night I live another life These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away 🎸🎸 There's something out there I can't resist I need to hide away from the pain There's something out there I can't resist The sweetest song is silence That I've ever heard Funny how your feet In dreams never touch the earth In a wood full of princes Freedom is a kiss But the prince hides his face From dreams in the mist
Thanks. This song missed the Top 40 when first released as a single in the UK in early 1986 - but became a big hit here a couple of years later,in March 1988.
The era is over, if you experienced it, you're lucky. No 80's night will feel the exact same way that ear did. It might come close but it wont be legit. Those who experienced it tho, they kno, they know :,)
Agreed.. I’m lucky to be born during mid 80s to atleast witness all the great music that came out. As far as I’m concerned the worst era in music was 2005 and up..
These 80s era Heart songs have this atmospheric fairy tale like feel. Dont know the specific instruments that produce this but all I can say is magical! I remember feeling this as a kid when they were on the radio
Your comment really launch my atention. fairy tale, I can say too about these memories. the 80s supermarkets, with the old electronics, the star wars, GIJOE and first Mylittlepony toys. the music in cassettes, the old candys or chocolat and waiting for a new Jim henson movie like Labyrinth in the high size theaters. and of course the first videogame halls. and the information not many satured.
It's called synth. Keyboards and electronic sounds is what made most the music we enjoyed in the 80's. I have been heavily influenced by these times, and it shows in my music. I agree, it has a magical sound... Thought so too when I was a child back then when I heard what my mother was lisening to.
TALKING ONLY OF MAINSTREAM ROCK: The 80s were all about reverb and synthesizers. The 90s brought back a more dry sound and almost no synthesizers in rock music. The 00s is 100% dry with no synthesizers in sight. Bands in the mainstream nowadays are bringing in synthesizers to try and appeal to the majority techno-pop audience, but not really utilizing it as a melodic instrument at all. Mainstream rock was pretty good at one point until it went the way of the caveman and said "screw textures, let's turn up the amp gain and fire the keyboard player". 80s rock was more like a symphony, it had a lot of different textures thanks to synthesizers. At some point rock just went completely jock. Formulaic dude bro crap is all rock is these days in the mainstream.
Two amazing things related to this song: 1) Nancy was sick when she sang the initial vocal and they kept it because it sounded raw in a soulful way. 2) A 22 y/o super fan was allowed in the studio when the song was recorded as it was her dying wish that Heart honored. That young girl passed shortly after and she was noted on the album credits. Amazing song and amazing band.
Those two sisters are so beautiful and awesome .all there songs flood my memories of my high school years in the 80s Prom night ect. LOVE THOSE TWO ❤❤s
For years I just assumed Anne sung this as she was the lead singer. I'm so blown away to know it's Nancy's voice, what incredibly talented sisters they are. We are all so much richer for their existence, I could never thank them enough for their musical legacy.
Same. I was today years old when I found out and this song is on my playlists. I mean siblings often sound similar so my brain just assumed it was Ann singing a bit softer
I'm going on 42, and this song is a big part of my childhood. It remains to this day one of my most favorite songs. And not just one of my favorites from the 80s, but a top favorite from the hundreds of songs that I love throughout the decades. Songs that give me a blissful, nostalgic, dé jà vu feeling & transport me to a time I can never return to, but come pretty close to taking me there, will always be treasured. Also as a Neurodivergent person, this song is one of my favorites to sing when stimming
@@judithbatke3169 not every one had big long hair...mine was short. But shoulder pads yes! And even babydoll ruffled socks with red (or any bright color) pumps:) the whole decade was just so much fun!!😍
Here it is. My favourite song of ALL FREAKING TIME. In my world, nothing else comes close to this masterpiece by the Wilson sisters. Thank you Ann and Nancy for this gift you gave to me in 1986. Four minutes of pure magic ! ...
I believe the NBA sampled this song in one of their commercials. The freakin NBA! This song takes people to places. Blacks, whites, latinoes, it don't matter
My dad was born in 1971 and grew up in the 80s... he kept telling me his past experiences from the 80s as a teen and especially 1986 his favorite year of the 80s as a 15 year old... because of bon jovi I guess and having a right to borrow his dad's car for him to hang out with friends, he made me listen to 80s songs like this...
This song was first offered to Stevie Nicks who passed on it. Things happen for a reason, because there was no one in the music industry then that could've done it even half as good as Heart did. The Wilson sisters are incredible singers. And the rest as they say is history.
The 80's style of music needs a comeback. Each generation has their own unique algorithm. Just so happens 80's music and even 70's give a encrypted message we need a person to solve
30 year old Nancy Wilson is absolutely stunning. I was a teenager in the 80s when music videos were at their peak. I listen to all sorts of different music, except country. I can't stand that noise. I mainly listen to heavy metal. Heart is one of my guilty pleasures.
Alot of people say the best music was already made. This is one of those. Now a days it's all garbage and demeaning to people. People woke etc have nothing on this music. It's all about hate now a days and not live.
@@Mike-ye6xi Celebrating my 35th HS reunion this year. for my twenty fifth, we shared our reunion with the class of '86 as well as '87, 89 & 90. BEST REUNOIN EVER!!
Daniel...it certainly is. I cry every time I listen because of its poignant beauty and relevance to me...every second of the night I live another life.
Partly why this particular recording is beautiful was also due to the fact that Nancy Wilson was sick at the time of this recording. It added that extra gravelly and raspy quality for the emotional punch.
Music, movies, pop culture.....the 1980s RULE. No digital recording techniques, no aids to vocal performance.......these bands HAD to be absolutely BANG ON first time (helps that the musicians/songwriters of that era were top drawer). Films? Budgets weren't huge, but imagination was absolutely KEY. Thats why 1980s films are revered and obsessed over in pop culture. The quality HAD to be good, and of course, there were no misguided socio-political agendas that had to be honoured. It was just great entertainment, great songwriting, talent by the truckload.
Fun fact: Nancy had a cold when she recorded her vocals. When she couldn’t reproduce the sound on demand, their record label asked her “can’t you get sick again?”
That summer, I had decided to quit doing drugs, since I hadn't left the ghetto for California (after a college education) to end where I started. Living in Berkeley, after the most significant heartbreak of my life, I felt like life was over and I realized that the big problem in the relationship was our drug use. I decided to quit and have one last hurrah all by myself. With a 12 pack of beer and several joints, I drove to the top of the Berkeley Hills and looked over the Bay Area, playing a tape of this song on an endless loop. It reflected so much about my lost love, my life and the unbelievably extreme pain I felt over it. "Over and over, under a full moon, I drank and smoked, trying to burn my grief to the ground as this song played endlessly on. I have no memory of the trip down and I can only be amazed that I made it back without driving off the road. The month's withdrawal was horrible, of course, and I nearly died. If a friend of mine hadn't come to town to surprise me for my birthday ( thank God he had keys) found me comatose and brought me around, my story would have ended right there in my bed. It took months to get me back in shape. I won a scholarship to do my graduate work and left California forever. I have been clean and sober for 31 years now and I had never thought that the happiness that is mine today would have been possible. I couldn't even have imagined it; I didn't have the capacity. A part-time actor now, my coach and I worked on a monologue based on that night. I hadn't thought of this song until last night, the night before I was to perform the monologue for the camera. Remembering at last, I came to TH-cam to find it. Well, " I live another life," and it is certainly an unexpectedly happy one I had never thought possible. Thanks, Heart, for your company that night and for writing the words that expressed what I couldn't.
Thank you so much; this was very sweet of you.. that was quite the night and I am still living with the benefits of the decision I made all those years ago. Love to you. Leonard
Great Story. Would love to see this monologue on TH-cam. I quit drinking 15 years ago and cannot believe how far I've come. I understand and empathize with your journey for I have walked a similar path.
Isn't it amazing? All the reasons we had for not quitting, when all the joy we needed was in learning to quit. It still boggles the mind all these years later.
Don't know if someone is reading this, but if you are: it doesn't matter where you are right now on this planet, I wish you a wonderful day and a happy, peaceful life where all your dreams come true. You are amazing and beautiful! I believe in you!
I'm 70 years old. These are the songs I listened to then & I still listen to today. The difference is that now I am touched so deeply by many of them that I cry because they are so beautiful & really have a lot of meaning which escaped me back then.

I was born in 1978, I m 45 this year. Growing up as a teenager i didn't know how fortunate i was with the music of the 80s and 90s. Now at my age I've learned to love them more. I just want to say 3 things regarding the music of my generation, the 80s and 90s.
Beautiful melodies. Meaningful lyrics and amazing vocals. I only wish that the younger generation would love the music that my generation grew up with.
I'm in my 20s I love 70s to 90s.
Same here, from 74. Very fortunate to have lived through the 80s.
I’m an 80’s baby and I play this beautiful song for my family, 2000 babies ❤❤ My son born in 2007 listens to songs dating back to Sam Cooke’s time. We travel to the past through music. I’m so thankful that my family moved to a city with tons of different cultures when I was around 12, I was fortunate with influences that expanded my aesthetics.
preach 👍
spot on, I was born 1970 and Heart was my all time favorite band...
One of the most beautiful songs EVER!!!!
+passion4posh I got to admit i heard beautiful songs before but these lyrics raised the bar of being the best the lyrics is too deep.
+king tiger "dont" what?
+TheStrawbeery totally!!!!!
+passion4posh i know tell me about it. i love to strap myself to my little white chair, naked and alone. Then I take a little peanut butter (the smooth kind, not the nutty) and rub it all over myself why I let this beautiful song enrapture me in it's glory and bringing to me tears.
agree, sometimes it brings me to tears, because it is such a powerful and beautiful song, plus it reminds me so much of a great period in my life.
There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.
Same. I know exactly what you mean
All of this nostalgia has been magnified now with the pandemic. It makes me long for simpler times for me when I was 9 years old listening to the radio just riding my bike around. Love my 80s
Me too, born march 77. Edited to say I love you guys.
Yes! I remember hearing this song as my dad was painting an old house in my childhood neighborhood when I was 5. Even at the time I felt it...like I knew a lifelong memory was being created even as I was the only one aware. This song takes me right back to that.
I absolutely feel your comment. I was born in 78 and I remember all these songs and they take me back to a place, where I have very specific memories. Time waits for no man and onward we march!
Born in 1977. The song was played a lot on the radio. I am Japanese and it was an incredible hit in Japan at the time.
For some reason, the song made my heart clench.
I was born in 76. I remember it on the radio here in the US, I loved the dreamy vibe it had as a kid. Also I’m American but I lived in Japan for 5 years. :)
Can't beat Heart. Best female vocalist EVER! Oh how I miss the 80's.
Ann or Nancy??
@@nonbinary6834 I love them both. Nancy rarely is the lead but she has a fabulous voice as well. Have you seen Ann do the tribute to Led Zeppelin? Fabulous.
I agree 100 percent ! Their song ALONE is total kick ass......
ann was way to jealous of nancy
They certainly have great voices, i wont take anything away from other great woman singers like Kim Wilde, Whitney Houstion, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna. All great in their own ways.
One of my mom's favorites. Never forget riding in the car listening to her sing it. RIP momma.
I totally understand. I enjoyed all heart and more riding in the car with my mother too. Lost her almost 7 years ago and I still can't believe I don't have her to be able to talk to. R.I.P. Mom
And sing with! Heart is my favorite and will always be.
Now she has all her dreames
I understand completely i used to listen to this with my mom oh man i miss her sorry for your lost
Rip to your Mom. My kids know all my favourite songs that have given me comfort and one day they will say the same. God bless you.
I'm 46 and these songs are the soundtrack of my life.
46 yrs also. I feel like I came here in a time machine and I don't have enough plutonium to get back to where I came from.
I’m 47 and I have to agree…although u feel like I’m 30 tops. I’m so glad I lived during these times…no smart phones, no internet, no social media…just life! It was so perfect.
I agree I am 49.
43. So very well put.
I'm 45 yrs, great song
I listen to 80s music and it takes me back to when I was a little boy. My mom either driving us around or cooking in the kitchen. No worries just living , times were good . I miss those days
I miss my mom!
I miss mine, too.
shit so do I this made me cry so much
I feel ya brotha🙏
You ain't lying there. I'm almost 40 and always got the 80s on my speaker at work
Who remembers the joyfulness of life back in the days when we had no Internet, less of alcohol and drug abuse, just kids running around the yard,sisters glued on magazines and novels, dads and sons fixing their toys...love had meaning by then,such music takes me back there....❤Swaziland 3:48 🇸🇿
Best of all no social media barely computers i was 18 when the mobile phone came out not the cell phone 😑
Not too sure about less alcohol and drug abuse. There was still a lot of that. Remember, the 80's were the coccaine years.
@@Lateralas exactly lol...that is nostalgia talking haha. But I agree that 80s/90s music has a soft charm to it's ballads than has not been replicated since.
Yes!!! I was a kid and I can't imagine growing up any other way ❤
@Lateralas I agree to an extent about drug and alcohol abuse. I was born in 1980 and remember coke and crack cocaine being prevalent from the 80s throughout the early 90s. The opioid epidemic in the late 2000s (thanks, big pharma 🙄) was unlike ANYTHING I had ever seen before because it was so widespread in affecting so many different walks of life. Everyone...housewives, their kids, doctors, lawyers, teachers, the wealthy elite, middle class people, the impoverished...it sadly had a massive impact in affecting EVERYONE.
Born in 81 I can remember listening to this as a child. Songs like these makes me reflect back to a time that people cared, life was simple , but good..
So true Rick. I turn 54 Oct 21st, 2021. I had my first love of a woman in the summer of 1981.
I feel the exact same, Rick! I was also born in 81, I turn 40 in about a week or so.
@@AM-br4ix Happy early birthday!
Another 81 baby here...you're so right. Life was simple and good...these days are missed.
Same here but I was born in 82, my mom still loves this song.
The 80s is undoubtedly the Golden Era of music
I'm almost in tears by these comments. This era was full of light, I'm a young black woman, 37. I went to bed every night listening to soft rock and had some of the brightest memories. I had a lot of trials but home was warm. The 80's was aerobics, colors, L. A. Girls, Hearts across America movement, We are the World Anthem and camp stories to die for...the world today....💔😢
Never will be the same again.
Did you go looking for bad comments or something? Almost all the comments I'm seeing (recent) are pretty positive.
Yes! Me too! I'm 43 and listen to soft rock, alternative and pop. Those were the days.
41 and listen to mostly death metal these days, I still love Heart. The 80's were a great time to be around.
I miss the hair and spandex the most. Don't miss cassette tapes whatsoever!
Yeah... It was cheesy, but also a lot less angsty.
Thats all good and all but
What does you being black have to do with anything? No offense in advance
why do 80s songs hit the emotions so deeply, damnn
They literally do many of the classics
it was the synth baby!
All music before the turn of the century had the human touch. The music was written by people.written by people who were real and alive. The music nowadays consists of synthetic garbage.
Being a 80's baby is one of life's most precious gifts. :)
being an 80's babe is even greater...
Eu quero renovar os sonhos todos os dias😃😃😃😯😯😀😇😀😕😣😣😆😆😆😅😅🎇🎇🎇🎇🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅💕💕💕💕💘💘👌👌👏👏
Yeah I was one too who was born in 1984!😃
collegejus , Being in your late teens, and early twentys was even beter, trust me......
collegejus I wish lol I’m from the Fortnite gen 😵
Ann is rightfully cited as one of the best rock singers of all-time... this is one of those rare intances where Nancy gets to show off her vocal talent... its not fair that two people should have that much singing ability...
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever. Pure magic...
I Agree 🥰🙌🏾
INDEED
U bet
True❤❤
this song takes me to a good place😇
I’m 43 and The 80s was the soundtrack of my life 😊
I like this song very much... I love u heart...
Same here...
If you're 43 then you were 4-13 years old during the 80's, so more like the soundtrack to your childhood.
I tell people all the time being born in 1976 we barely caught the 80s but nevertheless we caught them I would never forget the 80s.
I'll be 46 this year. This stuff takes me back to middle school dances, morning radio memories as I ate breakfast. The t shirts of these bands on the girls in the school hallways. I miss the 80s.
Man I love Nancy singing. Everyone knows that Ann has this type of voice that could only be equaled by Grace Slick, but people forget that Nancy can sure sing too. Man, she's so good!
Damn right!
I hear ya! It was always that ABBA kinda syndrome: will it be Agnetha on lead vocal or Frida??
Same thing here. Ann or Nancy?
That tension of keeping us guessing was all part of what made it irresistible!
Nancy has more in common with Celine Dion vocally than she does any of the rockers you can name. Nancy may be a kickass guitarist, but vocally she reminds me of a songbird, yeah.
@@xuriostyle3543 She's not as good as Ann, by any stretch, but she's still really good. Celine similarities? Eh, not to me.
@@chrisPAT03 More like fills her shoes, she's a crooner not a rockstar. She sings THOSE kinda' songs, too. Kinda' epic, a little poppy, defo catchy af.
Is there anyone here in December 2024, January 2025?
Meeeeee😊
Here🙋♀️
Yes here ❤ my escape
No, its just turned 01 Dec 2024
I never left.
If you didn't grow up in the 80s it's so hard to explain what this music did for us. For some of us this was our only escape. Listening to these songs and playing them for my chilren brings back bittersweet memories. Hearing this in 2022 wishing better for our family's and upcoming generations.
Every generation says that about their music lol
Yah! Me too i was born 1988 but this songs reminds me old days and now 2022 still love this song❤️❤️ never fade
Beautiful music.I first head this song in mid 2013 and I liked the song
Exactly
Love the 80’s, the last era before technology took over. Life was much more simple then and the music was epic!!!! 🥰
Your right about that. The tech back then was simple. Strutting around with my walkman, thinking what a cool gadget, being able to listen to music on the go like that. Hahaha !
Yeah I remember my Panasonic tape player that could tell the start/end of songs...wizardry!
In some ways, technology has improved and expanded our lives but it has it's downsides at the same time.
Totally agree!
Yes it was.
This was my cousin's favorite song.
Rest In Peace Donna.
We had so much fun at all the beaches and at all the parties in the 70s and 80s!
I'll remember you always.
How proud will be the father of these two wonderful women!!!! I love you forever Nancy & Ann.
When I hear it now after 40 years, I hear the frequency of God calling to every person with a conscious choice to live.
❤ wow!!!
Huh???
Amen...got Jesus.❤
The 80s. Best decade ever.
You said it. Without a doubt we were happy then and full of life.
Yes it was. I miss it.
👍👍👍👍👍
👍👍👍👍👍
So true
I love how her voice goes from subtle distortion in the chorus back to pure smoothness. Great performance.
Interesting fact about this song. Ann Wilson doesn't sing the lead vocal, her sister Nancy does. The story is Ann couldn't sing because she was suffering from a cold and her voice wasn't sounding good so Nancy sang lead instead.
@@Magpieboy1 . . Both Ann and Nancy were sick . Nevison decided to go with Nancy . The record company loved it and asked how she got that nice raspy vocals to come out during the chorus . She said she was sick . They said “ on the next album can you get sick again ? “ true story lol

Dear ladies and gentlemen who borned between 70s and 90s,
I am in my 20s, so not aware of such magical songs that existed in 80s, 90s.
Please suggest more like this...
thankyou for sharing
try Winds of Change by The Scorpions. corny but magnificent.
Anything by Phil Collins, Jon Secada's Just Another Day Without You, Chris Isak's Wicked Game, anything by Fleetwood Mac, Here Comes My Girl by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Anything by Journey or Toto....oh, don't get me started! Enjoy and blessings to ya.....................................................
My brother passed away two days ago and as I reunited with childhood friends I kept hearing this song in my mind and I remember it was just one of those hits of my early teens
Have faith. You will see your brother again.
Im so sorry for ur loss. Ull be allright
Sorry for your loss. 🙏
I'm so sorry for your loss! 😢
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Proud to have lived through the 80's. Legendary.
Could not agree with you more Dr Backs 😊
I need a DeLorean to go back and enjoy it some more. 😎🎶❤
You're lucky. I was born in 1986,so I didn't really get to enjoy the 80s.
Absolutely, best music, miss those days and the LOML
I am an 80's baby and loved growing up in the 80's and 90's. Good times. Wish I can go back compared to the times we are living in right now.
Isn’t it crazy that we, who were born in the 80s, are already getting into our forties? I don’t feel that different
I'll be 40 May 11, 1981! Me either. I still feel like I'm in my 20s
May 11, 1981 here. People told me I look like I am in my 20's, 😇
Yes, yes it is...I always think of the 80's as not being more than 20 years ago. Then I remember my age and the fact that I was born in the 80s...and all the fun goes away LOL.
Imagine how being born in 1941 feels - if you're lucky. You won't feel older than 30. That guy in the mirror is your grandpa, not you. High school friends dropping like flies, but we still love this music. 70s and 80s were gold.
Lived in the best years
I'll be 49 on September 29th. I miss everything from the 80's. What an unreal decade to grow up in. I miss it dearly. 💔
Happy birthday sir mark from meban north Carolina 🎉
@@Mark-qm3bp Thanks, I ♥️ NC
Or yes my self I’m 27 years gone are the good days we had good times. This young generation is deeply troubled
For me it was the 80s and the 90s
My mom just recently passed away to cancer,I dream of her almost every night, everytime I remember my dreams this song pops into my head I start singing it it helps bring me comfort given I miss my mom terribly! The pain is often unbearable at times
My condolences. 😢❤
Respect😢
This is so ❤️ beautiful,o heard it on the radio this morning early while lying in bed ... it finally struck me how beautiful it is.
Sending hugs to you.🙂
Stay strong ❤ i understand your feelings my mum too passed away due to cancer..even though it has been 18years..it still hurts n missed her so bad😢
I always thought that Nancy is one of the most underrated guitarists in rock music history. This songs proves that when she borrows/steals her big sister's microphone, she is also one of the most underrated singers in rock music as well... BEAUTIFUL!!!
THESE Sisters are just what BEING a Sister is ALL ABOUT......LOVE, Talent, and FUN ❤️👍....... AND Don't they sound GREAT TOGETHER........ ALWAYS in My HEART❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🎵🎶🎵
@@tracyross5831 Spot on!!!!

And that was just the men...

Absolutely! RiteOn! THANKS! TO
BEAUTIFUL!
❤️HEART!❤️
Yes so true ! Am also 56 yr old , 80,s so special ❤️
If you need a friend-listen to the 80's songs.
Why musicians can’t produce this kind of music anymore? The songs produced nowadays will just be a hit for few weeks then it’s gone.
Because this was from the 80's an original, can't be replicated and doesn't need to be, just go back to the 80's
Super Zeit los
I personally think it's because pop music has grown as an industry and music has been reshaped to cater to that :(
People still make great music but it's never as popular as the music thats written to sell :/
I can't really recommend any great modern synth pop other than maybe the Chromatics since it isn't as much my thing, but with some searching i bet there'll be quite a bit out there for you, I hope !
@@asinglebraincell6584 Devolved, not grown.
No soul...
I am a 44 year old black woman who grew up on MTV. I remember watching this and other rock videos transfixed.
I'm not black and from continents away. But I'm from that generation too and I know what you mean. Music that our uncles and aunts listened to, and which reminds us now, all these years later, of those better times.
I’m 43 and still listening.. I close my eyes and get nostalgic and all in my feelings & wishing I could turn back time just for a day
i'm 46 so I know what you mean! Those were good times.

The music had passion and will never be bettered.
Ann Wilson was a rock goddess.
Voice so powerful and unrivalled
This is the song that played as my cat was dying. Sweetest soul I’ve known. God bless you Pickles. I pray we’ll meet on the other side.
😥
Jeff Smith- RIP Pickles
My sincere condolences to Pickles. My first experience with this song was far less somber and yet somehow surreal; sitting on my front porch soaking in the beauty of the summer, while someone stopped at the intersection, and they were playing this song in a Honda Accord hatchback. And I've never since forgotten this song.
I totally understand your pain. We have lost a few pets, Doggies, already and it hurts so much. Never thought you could love them so much. Glad Pickles had a good life and was loved by you.
I know exactly how you feel. I remember when my first cat, Purrseus, died. That was some pretty strong anguish I felt. He made my whole family happy for 17 years, and it hurt to lose him.
Such a beautiful and ethereal song. Long live 80's music.
As I am going through a middle-age crisis,I can still say that I am proud to be born in the 80's (1986) 🖤🖤🖤

and the folks that grew up in the 50's, 60s, 70's say similar... and probably way before that too.. Nostalgia
Spare a little candle
Save some light for me
Figures up ahead
Moving in the trees
White skin in linen
Perfume on my wrist
And the full moon that hangs over
These dreams in the mist
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away
🎸🎸
Is it cloak and dagger
Could it be spring or fall
I walk without a cut
Through a stained glass wall
Weaker in my eyesight
The candle in my grip
And words that have no form
Are falling from my lips
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away
🎸🎸
There's something out there
I can't resist
I need to hide away from the pain
There's something out there
I can't resist
The sweetest song is silence
That I've ever heard
Funny how your feet
In dreams never touch the earth
In a wood full of princes
Freedom is a kiss
But the prince hides his face
From dreams in the mist
Thank u so much
Thanks. This song missed the Top 40 when first released as a single in the UK in early 1986 - but became a big hit here a couple of years later,in March 1988.
Thanks!!!! 💘 this Song!!!
Thanks my friend

The era is over, if you experienced it, you're lucky. No 80's night will feel the exact same way that ear did. It might come close but it wont be legit. Those who experienced it tho, they kno, they know :,)

The Best Decade Ever....With The 70's Right Behind It

What I love most about this amazing song is that Nancy is the lead.
Ann has the unmatched power and range, but Nancy is no slouch on lead vocals. Sweet and smooth, but also raspy at just the right times.
I always thought Ann was the lead singer on this, Today I learned it was Nancy.
@@truckshackley373 same here
Plus if u look up any interview with her, she has a beautiful personality to match. They are both insanely talented
These 80s era Heart songs have this atmospheric fairy tale like feel. Dont know the specific instruments that produce this but all I can say is magical! I remember feeling this as a kid when they were on the radio
Your comment really launch my atention. fairy tale, I can say too about these memories. the 80s supermarkets, with the old electronics, the star wars, GIJOE and first Mylittlepony toys. the music in cassettes, the old candys or chocolat and waiting for a new Jim henson movie like Labyrinth in the high size theaters. and of course the first videogame halls. and the information not many satured.
552mustang i was thinking someone should do a throwback to this also and the whole 80s synthesized tracks.
It's called synth. Keyboards and electronic sounds is what made most the music we enjoyed in the 80's. I have been heavily influenced by these times, and it shows in my music.
I agree, it has a magical sound... Thought so too when I was a child back then when I heard what my mother was lisening to.
yes, when the music was electronically enhanced, & the voices weren't.
TALKING ONLY OF MAINSTREAM ROCK: The 80s were all about reverb and synthesizers. The 90s brought back a more dry sound and almost no synthesizers in rock music. The 00s is 100% dry with no synthesizers in sight. Bands in the mainstream nowadays are bringing in synthesizers to try and appeal to the majority techno-pop audience, but not really utilizing it as a melodic instrument at all. Mainstream rock was pretty good at one point until it went the way of the caveman and said "screw textures, let's turn up the amp gain and fire the keyboard player". 80s rock was more like a symphony, it had a lot of different textures thanks to synthesizers. At some point rock just went completely jock. Formulaic dude bro crap is all rock is these days in the mainstream.
I'm 57 years old and still listening to these 80s hits.
I'm 57 to loved these ❤
Nothing wrong with that I do the same thing n I'm 39
57 too. Beautiful years.
Im part of millennial years but i dont know why Im so very fascinated to this masterpiece. Anyone who's listening this year 2021.
I'm a millenial too, there's so much more soul in songs like this compared to what we get now.
There hasn't been any good music since you've been born... Sucks...
Yup! Listening to it in 2021!
In my opinion, Nancy still looks great!
Because, Uve got good taste.
Two amazing things related to this song: 1) Nancy was sick when she sang the initial vocal and they kept it because it sounded raw in a soulful way. 2) A 22 y/o super fan was allowed in the studio when the song was recorded as it was her dying wish that Heart honored. That young girl passed shortly after and she was noted on the album credits. Amazing song and amazing band.
22? i bet your old as dirt now.
Thank you so much for that insight and information 😍
Omg never new that information makes the song even more meaningful ❤
Not a super fam But Nancy Wilson's good friend Sharon Hess, who died from leukemia shortly before it was released
Those two sisters are so beautiful and awesome .all there songs flood my memories of my high school years in the 80s
Prom night ect.
LOVE THOSE TWO
❤❤s
For years I just assumed Anne sung this as she was the lead singer. I'm so blown away to know it's Nancy's voice, what incredibly talented sisters they are. We are all so much richer for their existence, I could never thank them enough for their musical legacy.
Yes, Nancy would be the lead singer in any band that didn't have Ann in it.
Same. I was today years old when I found out and this song is on my playlists. I mean siblings often sound similar so my brain just assumed it was Ann singing a bit softer
@@soaringvulture absolutely. That Nancy is the "second fiddle" (so to speak) says a lot about the calibre of this band.
I'm going on 42, and this song is a big part of my childhood. It remains to this day one of my most favorite songs. And not just one of my favorites from the 80s, but a top favorite from the hundreds of songs that I love throughout the decades. Songs that give me a blissful, nostalgic, dé jà vu feeling & transport me to a time I can never return to, but come pretty close to taking me there, will always be treasured.
Also as a Neurodivergent person, this song is one of my favorites to sing when stimming
God I really miss the 80's
sorry for you - but do you really miss that hair and shoulders? AAARRGH - music´s really good though
@@judithbatke3169 not every one had big long hair...mine was short. But shoulder pads yes! And even babydoll ruffled socks with red (or any bright color) pumps:) the whole decade was just so much fun!!😍
You and me both.
Wish I was there
Me too
Here it is. My favourite song of ALL FREAKING TIME. In my world, nothing else comes close to this masterpiece by the Wilson sisters. Thank you Ann and Nancy for this gift you gave to me in 1986. Four minutes of pure magic ! ...
Matthew Nimite It's a great song man. Nice pick =]
Matthew Nimite BRÁVO👏 Brávo------ ECHOED.............. ))))
I believe the NBA sampled this song in one of their commercials. The freakin NBA! This song takes people to places. Blacks, whites, latinoes, it don't matter
One of my favourite songs, it speaks to the soul in the the chorus.
no doubt it, this was their best song that they ever made.
So glad I'm a 1971 baby and my teenage years were growing up listening to songs like this old but gold 🏅🏅🏅🏅👍
Same here 1971 💓💓💓💓
My dad was born in 1971 and grew up in the 80s... he kept telling me his past experiences from the 80s as a teen and especially 1986 his favorite year of the 80s as a 15 year old... because of bon jovi I guess and having a right to borrow his dad's car for him to hang out with friends, he made me listen to 80s songs like this...
Yeahhh...Old but Gold.
Im 2005 i was born in wrong era
72 baby here lol

This song was first offered to Stevie Nicks who passed on it. Things happen for a reason, because there was no one in the music industry then that could've done it even half as good as Heart did. The Wilson sisters are incredible singers. And the rest as they say is history.
Timeless
Seattle 2002, agreed.
The 80's style of music needs a comeback. Each generation has their own unique algorithm. Just so happens 80's music and even 70's give a encrypted message we need a person to solve
Definitely
so, true
@@GoA7250 Co written by Bernie Taupin who co wrote lots of Elton John hits.
Just Pure Talent no Nudity.Just a group of artist and musicians telling a story through this song..
that's because no one wants to see any of these people naked
30 year old Nancy Wilson is absolutely stunning. I was a teenager in the 80s when music videos were at their peak. I listen to all sorts of different music, except country. I can't stand that noise. I mainly listen to heavy metal. Heart is one of my guilty pleasures.
Takes me back to my school years. Will never get those days back. If God let me live again, I would go back and stay in that moment forever. 😢
What are you talking about..u litterally get born again
We've all got a season and that's okay. Our reward is not this current world. Unimaginable wonders await us.
@@jasonleveck8546 yesh
Me too
The 80's will live forever. This song will be it's soundtrack for many. Simply magical and everlasting. 🌹
I wish they would play it The Goldbergs
1986 graduate 👍
Alot of people say the best music was already made. This is one of those. Now a days it's all garbage and demeaning to people. People woke etc have nothing on this music. It's all about hate now a days and not live.
Such A Beautiful, Dreamy Song by these Seattle Greats!!!
@@Mike-ye6xi Celebrating my 35th HS reunion this year. for my twenty fifth, we shared our reunion with the class of '86 as well as '87, 89 & 90. BEST REUNOIN EVER!!
This is one of the most beautiful songs of all time. Sends chills down my spine.
Daniel...it certainly is. I cry every time I listen because of its poignant beauty and relevance to me...every second of the night I live another life.
Partly why this particular recording is beautiful was also due to the fact that Nancy Wilson was sick at the time of this recording. It added that extra gravelly and raspy quality for the emotional punch.
Daniel ward feel the same mate
Omg yesss agree
Music, movies, pop culture.....the 1980s RULE. No digital recording techniques, no aids to vocal performance.......these bands HAD to be absolutely BANG ON first time (helps that the musicians/songwriters of that era were top drawer). Films? Budgets weren't huge, but imagination was absolutely KEY. Thats why 1980s films are revered and obsessed over in pop culture. The quality HAD to be good, and of course, there were no misguided socio-political agendas that had to be honoured. It was just great entertainment, great songwriting, talent by the truckload.
80s are the best thing to listen to . For the past 5 years they have helped me get through my night shifts ❤
OxyContin always worked for me
You know what - I take that back. It pretty much ruined my life. 7 years sober now!
Helping me to get through day shifts, again and again I've seen it's not the job but the people, especially management.
❤
I'm a graveyarder too and glad workplace plays a lot of 80s and 70s in our lobby
I love that rasp in her voice in the chorus. I've heard tons of covers and seen them live. Nobody ever does it quite like this version
I like that raspyness in her voice too.
Fun fact: Nancy had a cold when she recorded her vocals. When she couldn’t reproduce the sound on demand, their record label asked her “can’t you get sick again?”
Then you havent heard quite well Maggie Reillys
I had a girl and Donna was her name
Nancy still has it after all these years thats why she is the best.
That summer, I had decided to quit doing drugs, since I hadn't left the ghetto for California (after a college education) to end where I started. Living in Berkeley, after the most significant heartbreak of my life, I felt like life was over and I realized that the big problem in the relationship was our drug use. I decided to quit and have one last hurrah all by myself. With a 12 pack of beer and several joints, I drove to the top of the Berkeley Hills and looked over the Bay Area, playing a tape of this song on an endless loop. It reflected so much about my lost love, my life and the unbelievably extreme pain I felt over it. "Over and over, under a full moon, I drank and smoked, trying to burn my grief to the ground as this song played endlessly on. I have no memory of the trip down and I can only be amazed that I made it back without driving off the road. The month's withdrawal was horrible, of course, and I nearly died. If a friend of mine hadn't come to town to surprise me for my birthday ( thank God he had keys) found me comatose and brought me around, my story would have ended right there in my bed. It took months to get me back in shape. I won a scholarship to do my graduate work and left California forever. I have been clean and sober for 31 years now and I had never thought that the happiness that is mine today would have been possible. I couldn't even have imagined it; I didn't have the capacity. A part-time actor now, my coach and I worked on a monologue based on that night. I hadn't thought of this song until last night, the night before I was to perform the monologue for the camera. Remembering at last, I came to TH-cam to find it. Well, " I live another life," and it is certainly an unexpectedly happy one I had never thought possible. Thanks, Heart, for your company that night and for writing the words that expressed what I couldn't.
Thank you so much; this was very sweet of you.. that was quite the night and I am still living with the benefits of the decision I made all those years ago.
Love to you.
Leonard
GOD bless You more :-)
Great Story. Would love to see this monologue on TH-cam. I quit drinking 15 years ago and cannot believe how far I've come. I understand and empathize with your journey for I have walked a similar path.
Isn't it amazing? All the reasons we had for not quitting, when all the joy we needed was in learning to quit. It still boggles the mind all these years later.
Thank you....and much the same to you !
Don't know if someone is reading this, but if you are: it doesn't matter where you are right now on this planet, I wish you a wonderful day and a happy, peaceful life where all your dreams come true. You are amazing and beautiful! I believe in you!
Bellend
❤ oh wow
Right back to you my friend
