*You can support the channel with TH-cam Channel Memberships or through Buy Me a Coffee. Never expected, but always appreciated.❤Links in Description!* This is such a banger!! The piano composition is insane and I can't wait to hear more!
My favorite line from this song has always been, "Aw, don't you believe it." After showing us so many people saying we can't change things, just accept it. Bruce is like, na, na, fam. Don't you believe that mess. Maybe you can't change the world at large, but you can change your little corner of it. Those places and situations where you have influence.
I don't know if you have ever reacted to Bonnie Raitt's "I can't make you love me" Bruce Hornsby is playing piano on that song, you should definitely react to Bonnie she is a phenomenal blues guitar player ever!
I got to hear Bruce & the Range in the early 90s at Denver's Rainbow Music Hall (which has since been torn down, sadly). It was one of my top favorite 5 concerts. The feeling is hard to describe. The crowd was mellow, the sound was fabulous, you could hear a pin drop for about 5 seconds after a song before the applause - what a feeling and experience I'll never forget. AND you're absolutely correct about the fake divisiveness the lamestream has conjured up.
The simple thing to do is give people grace. There are bad people and they generally show themselves to be bad but most people are decent. Just show people grace until they show they're not worthy. And a real strong person will continue to give grace even after someone makes a mistake because it's never too late to change for the better. ❤
I ❤️ Bruce Hornsby❣️🌹❣️ I bought this cassette tape when it was released. Played it until it wore out and then bought the CD. Still love listening to them and it never gets old. Mandolin Rain, Every Little Kiss - so much to explore. I had the privilege of seeing twice live and his piano playing is next level! Keep going‼️✌️👏🙌👌💯. Great reaction...🙌👏
Au contraire mon amie. I have heard the Bruce Hornsby version of "The Way It Is" dozens, if not hundreds of times. I have NEVER heard the Tupac Shakur song "Changes". So NOT everyone. I do dig the original, and I have seen Bruce live many, many times, both with The Range and with the Grateful Dead.
My friend who’s a retired musician met Bruce back in the day when he was a roommate of a friend, and playing with the Greatfull Dead thought he was an interesting guy. We went and saw him this past December with his new band. He’s still awesome !!
I love this song and hadn't heard it for years. I remember having the album back in the day and I'll be listening to it this afternoon on long drive down to the the office.
You've got to be taught to hate and fear You've got to be taught from year to year It's got to be drummed in your dear little ear You've got to be carefully taught You've got to be taught to be afraid Of people whose eyes are oddly made And people whose skin is a different shade You've got to be carefully taught You've got to be taught before it's too late Before you are six or seven or eight To hate all the people your relatives hate You've got to be carefully taught You've got to be carefully taught (From South Pacific, 1949) So true-yet many people were very offended by these lyrics at the time and probably still are. Too bad for them. Woke is a compliment, not an insult.
Love your reaction to this classic and to it's message. Loved this later part of the 80s for the music. My fave schoolyears 1986/87/88. Pls listen next to their Mandolin Rain and Valley Road.
That divide and conquer the masses has been a tactic throughout human history. And too many fall for it every time. I’m with you, Steven- we all should be better than this. Very nice to hear your stance. It takes courage to say it out loud. Thank you!
The problem with social media is that it's not a true representation of the general public. We don't run into many trolls who are just looking to stir the pot in real life but it's a pastime on the internet.
There's a great anti racism song from a group called Depeche Mode that really hits right to the point of the ridiculousness of racism. It's called, appropriately enough, People Are People. I don't know if you've ever heard it, but it's worth checking out!
BRUCE HORNSBY, is the author (lyrics and music) of this song and he was the first to record and perform it. Tupac only stole a rhythm line... without publicly acknowledging it, without the author's consent and without regard for the author's rights. Not very glorious! BRUCE preferred not to take any legal action. Long after Tupac's passing, the production company eventually agreed to pay the royalties to HORNSBY. The initiative for recognition did not come from Tupac. Sorry Tupac fans, but the truth is what it is. Thanks.
Great point! With the lack of accountability breeds a false sense of people saying whatever they please! Most (if not all) of those cowards would never spew that hatred toward someone face to face! Thanks for the insight!
Mandolin Rain and Every Little Kiss are also great songs by Bruce Hornsby and the Range. I dedicate Every Little Kiss to my late husband Joe. For the record, there's plenty of racism against whites too these days. We need to do better in this earthly world. God is watching.
I was born and raised in Memphis and am old enough to have memories of 2 different water fountains in public places with signs above them- one said “White” the other “Colored.” I was puzzled, as a little kid, by all the hatred flung at people who seemed to be just like us white folks except for their skin color. I was in 6th grade when MLK was assassinated downtown, and it was watching his funeral, with his grief stricken wife and kids similar in age to my own mother and my brother, sister, and me, which was when I fully realized how hideously hateful it was that some people were celebrating his murder. I’ve spoken up and out ever since that April 1968 against racism at every opportunity. That this is still happening almost 60 years later… Sickening. Thank you Steven for speaking up. I just hope to God that 60 years from now you and your children will be living in a better world than this one.
3Scotsink, I am Canadian, but had the same reaction as you as to the senselessness of racism. I don't think 60 years is going to be enough time for this to disappear. It seems it's passed on generation to generation. The children of racists are going to have to think for themselves whether there is any reason to think like this. I saw a little of this as a white man with a POC wife but not, it seems, to the same extent as in the States.
@@tomroome4118 I grew up in Toronto and although the racism wasn't as outrightly visible as separate drinking fountains, back entrances, there were "red line" districts and other "invisible" forms of racism. I'm very proud of our $10 bill with Viola Desmond on the back. It reminds every Canadian about our racist history.
This is one of my favorite songs. The piano, drums and the base are ridiculously good. Great reaction. I loved your face when you realized Tupac sampled this. Lol. ❤✌
@randyhocstein8455, no he played for his high school in Williamsburg, VA. He has twin boys and one of them also played basketball for Louisiana University and for North Carolina University in Ashville. He is a huge basketball fan and frequents many college games.
End of the Innocence was a collaboration with Don Henley. They both used the song on their own individual albums but the Don Henley version was played more on the radio. But, Don Henley is very strict with copywrite. I think you can pull it up.on TH-cam, but I doubt you would be able to react to it. Definitely worth a listen. Its about corruption in politics.
@@objectiveobserver4278 I am not sure about that last part. I requested "End of the innocence/Sun Bear theme/Song A" from a couple of my favourite reactors and they had no problem using the clip. I have also seen several versions of "End of the innovence" performed by Bruce Hornsby. I don't know why it would be bothersome for Henley. After all, this song is more Hornsby than him, anyway, and secondly, commercially he got his dues out of it, didn't he?
Bruce Hornsby is a GREAT Musician and an even GREATER Human Being. Bruce is a mostly self-taught Pianist, although he eventually he did go to college for Music. He first came to prominence in the 1980's, with this very song, and from 1990-1992 Bruce was a member of the Grateful Dead. He had played in a Dead cover band in college, and when the Dead's Keyboardist Brent Mydland passed, the boys asked Bruce to step in. Saw him open and play with the Grateful Dead umpteen times, and Bruce is always on top of everything. His band was called The Range. They were Tip Top.
Even now, after hearing and watching this brilliant video hundreds of times, I'm absolutely blown away by it and I'm sure Tupac felt the same when he first heard it too, before he stole it.
I love this song. How come such a simplistic song sounds so good? Now don't go crucifying me. I've no music background and don't play any instrument, but I've good ear to judge beautiful music. Every player here play just enough to give the song it's flavour. In this case the saying "Less is more" means perfection. Great take on racism, Steven. Nowadays, it takes courage for one to speak so openly about what is wrong with the human kind. Human? Kind? Whoever put those two words in a sentence, must have liked in a perfect utopian world, for sure. There are great people everywhere, but in general, humans aren't kind. If they were we wouldn't be living in fear of nuclear war, poverty or famine.
Let's Gooooo! It's OK I love Tupac too. The original is fire though. Please check out Trooper here for a good time ( not a long time) You'll love it. Great reaction and Peace out 🙏 ☮️ ✌️ BTW you're 💯 right. When we were kids we just hung and never cared about skin color..we just got along and I can't stand the way it is now...So different like were going backwards instead of forward 😢
An audio production company that is unaware of Bruce Hornsby. This is one of the classic tunes I had to study for my degree and I worked until recently as a audio production coordinator for a major production company. These reactors must all gone to the same school or live under the same rock.
I used to hear kids listening to these 'sampled' songs. Oddly, those kids didn't know that those rappers didn't write those riffs/songs. At least some, like yourself, are now realizing the truth.
Just finished watching your reaction to Stranglehold by Ted Nugent. You need to check out his early band Amboy Dukes, example 'Migration' from a 1970 PBS live special. The performance is insane!!
Nah. It's not so much about racism as it is about people being out of work and down and out. This era in the USA found many of our huge factory towns having huge unemployment with production being sent overseas. Not much had change.
That's true, in the late 1970s it was very hard to find any jobs, but it made it extremely difficult for people of color and women. Listen to the line in the song that says, "'Cause the law don't change another's mind, when all it sees at the hiring time, is the line on the color bar, oh no".
Bruce Hornsby wrote the lyrics, composed the music and Released his album, The Way it Is in 1986. The song was an instant hit. Its about civil rights issues and racism. And like you, Steven, many white people care about the rights for all people, regardless of skin color, ethnicity or religion. What is really sad is that young people, such as yourself, only know this song because Typed STOLE it! He took a song about racism and put it out as if it was his own. I cannot tell you how many reactions I have watched and the first words are: "Hey, that's That's song". Bruce Hornsby had a lot of other hits and he also wrote lyrics and music for other artists. A couple of other songs you might enjoy are: Mandolin Rain th-cam.com/video/bDgOwX72fLI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_rZU496b4bVGffRB Every Little Kiss th-cam.com/video/PPmyYs92GDs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xNcSdfqhktWd4pPl Valley Road th-cam.com/video/KfKIq1Pmc8Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UymqB6qVpE842cDF Enjoy!
Have you seen the movie or stage musical "South Pacific"? It is about the American military on a french Polynesian island during World War II. The french man has half-Polynesian children. He introduces his Southern fiancee to them, and she initially rejects them. Then this song starts: "You've got to be carefully taught" racism. They tried to ban this song in America because many Southerners didn't like it. th-cam.com/video/RUuQ4hoXsCM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=XU8pRLjKdp8IylZV
You must listen to Badmans Song by tears for fears, live or not. Its hard to explain the quality of musicianship. I may send you some funds to force you
Haha 😂 Well I no longer take “guaranteed requests” because it became impossible to keep will up with! I will however, give it a look and see if I can add it to the list. Most, if not all, of the videos I do these days I pull from the comment section! 🤘🏻
Hate, anger, and judgement are easy. Just pure laziness. The problem is, is that it wears you out. One leads to the other, which is as it should be. If you are a cave man. Fear SHOULD make you angry. And it does. Natural, normal response. Kid falls off the dock, you go take a hammer to the dock. The water is still there. If I can convince you to be afraid, half the battle to get you to respond in the way I might want you to is won. Make you angry at the thing you are afraid of, and I can make you do stupid shit. Ahh, but don’t you believe them…
@@setonhillstudios Maybe, but you know as well as I do many, many artists got zippo for a long time... I remember when George Clinton gave Snoop Dogg crap live, on stage for "sampling" Atomic Dog and didn't get a dime. BTW. I enjoy your channel and I'm a drummer too. 😄
@SetonHillsStudio, he made millions anyway. It was a golden hit on the album of the same name, The Way It Is. I also don't think that royalties and copyright s paid out as much back then.
@Justjack0715, I totally agree. Funny how a song about racism, put out by a white man was used and released by a black man who gave no hint of where it came from. Oh well, Tupac was gangsta and now he's dead.

Love these guys and this song. Great message.
Quality Tune. Quality Reaction Steve. Valley Road Next.🙂
You've got to be taught to hate and fear
You've got to be taught from year to year
It's got to be drummed in your dear little ear
You've got to be carefully taught
You've got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly made
And people whose skin is a different shade
You've got to be carefully taught
You've got to be taught before it's too late
Before you are six or seven or eight
To hate all the people your relatives hate
You've got to be carefully taught
You've got to be carefully taught
(From South Pacific, 1949)
So true-yet many people were very offended by these lyrics at the time and probably still are. Too bad for them. Woke is a compliment, not an insult.

Bruce Hornsby had a lot of other hits and he also wrote lyrics and music for other artists. A couple of other songs you might enjoy are:

Have you seen the movie or stage musical "South Pacific"? It is about the American military on a french Polynesian island during World War II. The french man has half-Polynesian children. He introduces his Southern fiancee to them, and she initially rejects them.
Then this song starts:
"You've got to be carefully taught" racism.
They tried to ban this song in America because many Southerners didn't like it.

It was a Monster hit… lol!
Do these reactors all go to the same school of acting, so few honest ones !
It's you with the evil eyes.
No acting here 🤷🏻♂️
I'd ask for my money back! Oh yea, I forgot, you're not paying the reactors!
You must listen to Badmans Song by tears for fears, live or not. Its hard to explain the quality of musicianship. I may send you some funds to force you
Haha 😂 Well I no longer take “guaranteed requests” because it became impossible to keep will up with! I will however, give it a look and see if I can add it to the list. Most, if not all, of the videos I do these days I pull from the comment section! 🤘🏻
@@setonhillstudios if ever you do listen to it, be it on the platform or just for fun, drop a comment i think you'll be enamored
He looks like he's just messing around on the keyboard
Hate, anger, and judgement are easy. Just pure laziness. The problem is, is that it wears you out. One leads to the other, which is as it should be. If you are a cave man. Fear SHOULD make you angry. And it does. Natural, normal response. Kid falls off the dock, you go take a hammer to the dock. The water is still there. If I can convince you to be afraid, half the battle to get you to respond in the way I might want you to is won. Make you angry at the thing you are afraid of, and I can make you do stupid shit.
Ahh, but don’t you believe them…
It speaks to racism, but perhaps classism also.
Sampled? LOL! Stole...
🤣😂 I’m sure Bruce Hornsby was happy because he probably made millions from it!
@@setonhillstudios Maybe, but you know as well as I do many, many artists got zippo for a long time... I remember when George Clinton gave Snoop Dogg crap live, on stage for "sampling" Atomic Dog and didn't get a dime. BTW. I enjoy your channel and I'm a drummer too. 😄
@@justjack0715 Yeah if they are not giving credit to the original writer, that’s whack!! A fellow drummer!! Let’s Goooo!! 🥁 Love to hear that!
@SetonHillsStudio, he made millions anyway. It was a golden hit on the album of the same name, The Way It Is. I also don't think that royalties and copyright s paid out as much back then.
@Justjack0715, I totally agree. Funny how a song about racism, put out by a white man was used and released by a black man who gave no hint of where it came from. Oh well, Tupac was gangsta and now he's dead.
