I remember being a teenager in 1988, we were very poor and they were about to shut off our electric. I heard this for the first time then while standing in our driveway and just being overcome by the feelings of hope and joy this song gave me. Almost 35 years later and it's still possibly my favorite song ever
Beautiful ❤ Thank you for sharing! When I heard this song, I ran to my guitar and obsessed until I could find a way to play it. My favorite song. I am working with a drummer right now recording this song. Then I will post it here!
This song brings many tears to my eyes. I miss the 80s very much. My whole family was alive and well,i had no worries and just loving life. I'am 53 now and most of my family have passed on this world is a different than it once was.
@@rumblebird9888 Me too, just watched a d searched this song, never knew who sang it even though I'm an 80s teen, I was always familiar with it but now finally saved it to my library 😊
Dude pantheon was SOO GODDAMN Good. I was born in '94 and have heard this song plenty of times. But pantheon used it so well it made me finally look up the song and add it to my Playlist.
I had just graduated HS in 1988…..I worked some odd jobs, had some girlfriends, had no direction and owned a 1980 Fiat Spyder convertible (a terrible/awesome car). On those summer nights when it was warm and clear I’d play this song on my cassette as loud as I could with the top down and my mullet in a pony-tail to keep it out of my face to decompress from what I thought was stress back then….it was like a magic song that melted away all my fears, insecurities, and worries all at once as I sang along out loud….it was just me and the world at that moment, a feeling which I wish I could have kept in a bottle for when I needed it….
Amen my friend. I wish I knew what I know now back then. I graduated in 75, married in 76 and music was everything back then. Saw a LOT of bands but I will always regret not seeing W.I.R. and Queen. Was blessed to see Bowie, Cooper, oh so many bands! Music was and is everything!
Awesome backstory! I too graduated in 1988 and loved listening to this in my 1975 IH Scout II (also a terrible but incredible car lol!). Lord, I miss those days indeed!
I've sang this song a million times, in my head, to my relationships, and my commitments. Just now, I realized, this is not only a love song, it's a family, commitment song. My dad was diagnosed with cancer, had the tumor removed, plastic surgery to repair the gapping hole... As I think about the last 6 weeks, wiping ass, cleaning bed pans and urinals of my 82 y/o dad, thinking about the cycle of life, I understand completely and believe totally in the promise, a promise, and the cycle of life. xoxo all.
It's crazy how songs like this when they came out were awesome and fun then 30 years later it makes happy and also makes you cry. Beautiful music will never get old.
What I love personally about this song is having grown up with it and enjoying for most of my life. It came on the radio the other day and I was in the car with my 17 yr old son and he started singing along with me. I was shocked that he knew the words. I asked him how he knew this song. He said he has heard it before and always loved it. That’s what makes music and this song great
Great song to springboard this world out of 2020... The 2 worst things to happen in 100 years - the pandemic and Trump -not necessarily in that order...
I love this song. My husband sang this song to me 21 yrs ago, and it became our song. He passed unexpectedly in January. Our anniversary was on April 20th & this song came on the radio 😭😭 I miss him like crazy
For my best buddy Mark, who passed away from cancer a few years ago. We had watched Napoleon Dynamite in theatres together as kids. I will always have this song as a memory of him.
I heard it a couple of days ago while on my 50 mile motorcycle ride to work. I leave at 4:30 AM, so there's hardly any traffic to keep me company as I roll through the woods and farmland . At 71 and and looking at retirement on Dec.31, I'm looking at my twilight years and I tend to reflect a lot anymore. The memories are like swift flowing water going under a bridge. I really like this song and always have. It speaks to all ages. P.S. I decided to give them another year. I know I can make it. Put one foot in front of the other and make it to lunchtime every day, and the rest of the day is downhill. 😀 I think I have 208 working days left. Thanks for all of your good wishes.
Let the record reflect that I don't care how old you are or what brought you here. I'm just glad to know you appreciate this rather heartfelt and sensitive song from my generation.
Beautiful John!! My name is John and I was 20 in 1980 and the songs became so heartfelt and love the that the kids are getting into our era!!! I noticed the direction of all the songs that were so great ! One comment from a young girl that didn’t grow up in the 80s said she felt the younger people were missing out! They are!! She tears swelled up in her eyes when the chorus came!
Great to here that and my wife and I still love the 80s and are often sad that todays music isn’t written in the same format which just doesn’t feel the same! Thanks John! Keep the 80s alive!!!
I just lost a lifelong (57 years) friend. This song has become a huge part of my mourning. Its incredibly painful to listen to right now but I NEED it. Its beautiful.
I’m happily married 32 years with adult children and grandchildren. But these 80s songs often open old feelings about my youth and young loves and as such I can only listen sparingly…
I know, my memory plays with me. I can turn be so happy hearing an old song, and then be flooded with nostalgia. It's a good feeling but sometimes I want to go back so bad that it is painful....❤️
This is my all time favorite song. I dedicated this to my boyfriend 28 years ago. We celebrated our 27 wedding anniversary on February 25. It can still make me emotional
My dad passed away yesterday and now I'm making a playlist with all the songs he loved and I remember him by. This is one of them. Thank you dad for showing me the greatest artists of all times. Loved, missed and never forgotten 🤘🔥❤
It’s crazy how music can feel like time travel… not just because of the memories it’s brings back but because sometimes for a brief moment it actually felt like you were back in a moment from the past. You get that same feeling you remember that you had just for a moment. It’s so surreal
I hear this song and I am in a rental car driving into Arlington VA from Dulles Airport after a long flight from Los Angeles International. It's dark, I'm tired, the wine has completely worn off, and I can't wait to check into the Marriott in Crystal City.
God I love this song! Why is it that once you start listening to these fire 80's hits, you end up binging on all 80's music (no matter the genre 'cause they were all bangers) for hours on TH-cam? Nothing and I mean straight up nothing will ever dominate the music, culture and fads of the 80's! So blessed to have lived and experienced the enlightening 80's. This 55 year old will always be an 80's child!
@@1dramaprincess the 80's were definitely the best! No cell phones, no social media... Just pure fun! Thankfully we have the TH-cam time machine portal haha. It's funny and ironic how today's technology can connect us to our past just by listening to one of these timeless songs. 😊
It's amazing how songs like this evoke a longing to go back! Memories flash through your mind...feel the feeling, a scent takes you back...brings an ache in your heart...
That’s the EXACT word that comes to my mind, and that I’ve used to describe this song. How uncanny. Although it had that bittersweet feel - beautiful but meloncholic - even when it was first out, and current, as with a number of other Bittersweet songs during & from the 80’s, including “Forever Young” by Alphavlle, and “Time After Time” (Cindi Lauper), and so many other Greats.
I'm 54 years old and listening to this in 2024. I also happen to be singing along to it and remembering every word as if I just learned it yesterday. Only really GOOD music can stick with you like that!
Hey buddy.. Iam 55 in Jan17th were in the Same boat.. I knew these songs long time ago' and i almost forgot these songs.. But it deeply touched my heart when i saw Napoleon Dynamite the Movie in dvd.. Indeed its bring an old high schoolers memory that i didnt have with a gals whom i crushed.. 80' spirit are alive.. Within us.. True last dinosours 😊😊😊😊
I started humming the baseline at work one day, doobie doobie doo...bump doobie doobie doo and my boss walked in and started humming it along with me, and I knew I was at the right job.
Lyrics If you need a friend Don't look to a stranger You know in the end I'll always be there And when you're in doubt And when you're in danger Take a look all around And I'll be there I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say (I promise you) I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be (I promise you) But if you wait around a while I'll make you fall for me (I promise you) I promise, I promise you, I will When your day is through And so is your temper You know what to do I'm gonna always be there Sometimes if I shout It's not what's intended These words just come out With no cross to bear I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say (I promise you) I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be (I promise you) But if you wait around a while I'll make you fall for me (I promise you) I promise, I promise you I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say (I promise you) I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be (I promise you) And if I had to walk the world I'd make you fall for me I promise you, I promise you I will Gotta tell you Need to tell you Gotta tell you I've gotta tell you I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say (I promise you) I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be (I promise you) But if you wait around a while I'll make you fall for me (I promise you) I promise, I promise you I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say (I promise you) I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be (I promise you) And if I had to walk the world I'd make you fall for me I promise you, I promise you I will I will, I will
I dedicate this song to my sister who passed in 1997 , this song will always bring memories of her happiness, funny ways and love for beautiful songs like me ! Love you Teresa, wherever your spirit is! Grateful for having met you in this life !
You are appreciating good talent and great composition. I am nearly a decade ahead of you. The 60's and 80's produced some great music. Disco destroyed the 70's. And now rap seems to be destroying the 'oughts.
Im 50. The 80' s music definatly had a unique flavor whether pop hits like this, R & B, rock, jazz etc. Good times! There are some great artist in the biz today but they dont get the exposure they deserve. Media moguls are too busy promoting auto tune crap 😡.
Every time I hear this song, I tear up. Because it reminds me of the time where life was simple. And now, with the whole world going crazy and the future getting darker. I asked myself if things will go back to normal... 😥😔
I was 16 years old when this was released. What a wonderful time it was to be young. 2008 the day my son was born I heard it again for the first time since the 80’s. Now the song represent my promise to my son, to always be there. Keeping that promise and reminding my self of that beautiful day 2008 when my son came to this world, each time I listen to this song ❤
Lyrics: If you need a friend Don't look to a stranger You know in the end I'll always be there And when you're in doubt And when you're in danger Take a look all around And I'll be there I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say (I promise you) I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be (I promise you) But if you wait around a while I'll make you fall for me (I promise you) I promise, I promise you, I will When your day is through And so is your temper You know what to do I'm gonna always be there Sometimes if I shout It's not what's intended These words just come out With no cross to bear I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say (I promise you) I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be (I promise you) But if you wait around a while I'll make you fall for me (I promise you) I promise, I promise you I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say (I promise you) I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be (I promise you) And if I had to walk the world I'd make you fall for me I promise you, I promise you I will Gotta tell you Need to tell you Gotta tell you I've gotta tell you I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say (I promise you) I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be (I promise you) But if you wait around a while I'll make you fall for me (I promise you) I promise, I promise you I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say (I promise you) I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be (I promise you) And if I had to walk the world I'd make you fall for me I promise you, I promise you I will
Was driving my car back home yesterday and this came out on the radio like a flashback. Needless to say I started singing very out loud. That's the magic of the 80's music
*_Matthew 11.28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."_* *_Luke 19.10 for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”_* _Jesus Christ loves you. Repent and be saved. Only Jesus Christ saves. God bless you, and the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you and your family._ -
Olá Matilde ótima tarde a você e sua família realmente essa inesquecível música só nos relembrar de um magnífico tempo o amor era mais verdadeiro onde as amizades também era mais verdadeiro hoje infelizmente 2023 tudo isso mudou entre as pessoas mais quanto ao música ainda só nós faz pensar e refletir o que foi a década de 80 para muitos de nós realmente seu magnífico comentários tem tudo a ver nos dias de hoje a você Matilde desejo tudo de bom sucesso em sua vida juntamente com sua família beijos si cuida aí ok 😆😆😆😇😇😇😘😘😘😘👏👏👏👏direto do litoral norte de São Paulo Brasil (17 /10 /23 )
I know exactly what you mean when you're driving and you hear that song you just want to scream at the top of your lungs, it makes you so happy! 😊❤️🎶🎵🦋
Everyone has 'their' decade, or maybe 2. I absolutely loved the 80s ... Like so many, if i could go back I'd drop myself back to 1982 and do it exactly as I did then.
I’m with you completely. Amen to that. The last generation to know what it was like before technology poisoned the world. Nothing like old school to heal the soul
My brother worked in the record business and gave me a personalized copy of this album! They signed it for our wedding gift! I never knew at the time how epic this song would still be today! And I still have the album cover intact! ❤️🎼
LYRICS If you need a friend, don't look to a stranger You know in the end, I'll always be there But when you're in doubt, and when you're in danger Take a look all around, and I'll be there I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be But if you'll wait around awhile, I'll make you fall for me I promise, I promise you I will When your day is through, and so is your temper You know what to do, I'm gonna always be there Sometimes if I shout, it's not what's intended These words just come out, with no cross to bear I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be But if you'll wait around awhile, I'll make you fall for me I promise, I promise you I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me I promise you, I promise you I will I gotta tell you, need to tell you, got to tell you, I've got to tell you I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be But if you'll wait around awhile, I'll make you fall for me I promise, I promise you I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me I promise you, I promise you I will I will I will
Still here Oct 31 2024. Still remember when you guys came to San Antonio sunken gardens theatre. I got to meet all of you and you signed a record bag with your logo on it for me. One of my prized possessions. This song has spoken to me since the first day I heard it. Still have it on vinyl. Thank you!! -DJ Dizzy
I might be sad that I can't go back to the 80s but I'm so thankful I got to experience first hand some of the best music ever. Truly we were spoilt for choice.
I was in my late 20's to early 30's at the time. I got to love it first hand. It's sad to say it is all nostalgia now. I was in Bed Bath and Beyond a month ago and heard this (over head speakers) and I said to myself. "YEAH" I know this song. I have not heard it for so long and forgot the title. I got home and you have got to love the internet.. a "promise You' search (most repeated phrase) and it came up with this. I listed it in my favorites before the chorus played !
A lot of what is on the radio now is just crap! Back then most musicians played their instruments and wrote their own songs. Now pop stars are just manufactured images backed by song writing teams and record companies.
This is one of the most beatiful songs ever written, with such an amazing bassline that perfectly fits with the rthytm pattern. The voices and chorus are so so cool. The production is superb. Pure 80`s spirit. New wave, synth-pop. Best.
wow... I came across this song by pure accident, and when the chorus came I immediately started tearing up, it's just so beautiful :'( what we young adults are missing man...
Good bless you Maria! I was born in 1960 and saw a lot of things change and when the 1980s came I noticed how songs were written for hope and for love! I’m a musician and I know how the industry works. The 80s actually went into the 90s until 1993. Then all the beautiful songs for love and hope disappeared. I’m 60 now and I long for the beautiful feel and expressions those songs gave us! Keep searching the 80s and you will find a treasure of heart felt music that still to this day make me cry. I saw that era to be the greatest for music and I felt proud to be a musician then!
My wife and I still love these 80s songs!! Here’s Caine more to help you know that yes all of us now are missing out!! Nothings going to stop us- Jefferson starship , endless summer nights- Richard Marx, Angel eyes, Steelheart, Street of dreams- Rainbow. That’s just a few that will link to more.
I always saw my father listening to this song, I always thought it was just an ordinary song, but over time, I understood the true meaning of the lyrics, I realized that it is not a simple song, and I understood why my father always listened to it
I can only imagine how wonderful was listening to these songs on the way to school as teenager in the 80's Please send me back to the 80's who's with me?
My daughter played this at her wedding for her first dance with her husband. She lives thousands of miles away overseas. This song brings tears, but I feel closer when I’m missing her.
Man do I miss this era. Such good times. High school in the 1980's when our Gen X girls were hot, cars looked great and we only had vinyl records (cassette tapes sucked). HELLO to all my peeps who are 55 this year!!

@@priceJJpride88Seems timeless in some areas yet not timeless in others…both. It's interesting, The Promise was released in 1987. The following song (Astronomical Illusion) was written in 1986 and recorded as a demo in 1993, but never recorded professionally. There is a similarity to them. It must have been the era. th-cam.com/video/tcZDfImNEHQ/w-d-xo.html
I forgot this song for almost two decades till one day I listened this in a movie called Napoleon Dynamite. Tears were flowed on my cheeks. Goosebumps everywhere. Every strand of hand hair stood up crazy. I still remember that day. It was somewhere near 2005. More or less. Nostalgic. Intensely brought me to the late 80s.
I have never heard of this song until I saw the dvd of the movie. I've been in love with it ever since then, which is, what, when did the movie come out? A LONG TIME!!
One of the best soundtracks of my youth , still listening in Oct 21 Lyrics: If you need a friend Don't look to a stranger You know in the end, I'll always be there But when you're in doubt And when you're in danger Take a look all around, and I'll be there I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me I promise, I promise you I will When your day is through And so is your temper You know what to do I'm gonna always be there Sometimes if I shout It's not what's intended These words just come out With no cross to bear I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me I promise, I promise you I will I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me I promise you, I promise you I will I gotta tell you Need to tell you Gotta tell you I've gotta tell you I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me I promise, I promise you I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me I promise you, I promise you I will I will I will
@@DeE-pt5lz You are absolutely correct. I can elaborate more on what you are saying with the 1980’s were the height of Western Civilization. The 1990’s was a decent, but flawed “Part II” and the 2000’s was a “Part III” where the writers didn’t bother to acquaint themselves with the source material. I compare it to the three “Smokey and the Bandit” movies. The first one was a brilliant and fun adventure movie. The second one was a movie that was decent, but couldn’t decide if it was a comedy or an adventure movie. And the third came into existence after someone heard about the first two movies from a drunken hobo that was living in a dumpster.
I had a friend who died a few years ago and this was one of his favorite songs. Every now & then I come and listen to this classic tune but it always leaves me in tears! Because the words are completely him. He was my best friend who was simply & truely gifted & didn't realize it but the saddest thing of all his family never saw that talent he had because of his mental health. Hence why I need to tell you. I myself is trying my best to teach my kids how to become someone & use the gift your Blessed with in memory of that one very special buddy I called a brother S.K.L. Never forget someone who inspired you cause life is delicate.
Sad that happened but I'm glad you have good memories for yourself of him including this great tune. Cheers to you and may your friend rest peacefully. I don't normally stop to respond to anything like this , there is something to that I feel . Take care .
Listen to more new music. You obviously are only checking out what the radio is telling you to. Do your ownr esearch, today we have thousands of unique and amazing artists. Comments like this just show a real lack of awareness of todays musical climate. It doesn't even matter what genres you like, there is someone making awesome NEW music in that style, right now.
Alguém mais está ouvindo esse clássico no ano de 2022 ? senti saudades deste tempo bom e hoje com 46 anos ,pela primeira vez eu vi a tradução,daquilo que sempre me emocionou...
I graduated 9 yrs ago (10 yrs next year), and i still miss my friends as well as my childhood. Being an adult sucks, but it's true what they say. "You CAN'T beat the clock." 😔. Thats life
My father used to always listen to this, now I've finally encountered that one song I never knew the title to for over a decade now. The nostalgia brings me a sense of comfort.
Daqui a um ano, eu volto . 2024
Amo essa música ❤
eu tbm
Olá adoro essa música
Eu adoro ela, sempre estou ouvindo ❤❤
Eu também ❤
Me from Perú
I remember being a teenager in 1988, we were very poor and they were about to shut off our electric. I heard this for the first time then while standing in our driveway and just being overcome by the feelings of hope and joy this song gave me.
Almost 35 years later and it's still possibly my favorite song ever
Happy to know you're doing better, slightly jealous you were able to experience the 80s in any way
Did they shut off the electricity? Not being rude, just curious.
@@cowboyanimal_1 they will do again those globalists motherfuckers
This is a beautiful insight to a part of your memory :’)
Beautiful ❤
Thank you for sharing! When I heard this song, I ran to my guitar and obsessed until I could find a way to play it.
My favorite song. I am working with a drummer right now recording this song. Then I will post it here!
One of the most perfect songs ever written.
Let's not get carried away. Nostalgia can make us do that😊
@@sulatlalakiit’s perfect and that’s why they couldn’t replicate it
@@sulatlalakithe writing is pure and beautiful, almost innocent.
I agree. It is one of times greatest. No nostalgia here. It's an amazing song.
@@sulatlalaki lmao you’re telling the truth. Good song but most perfect song ever, come on..
The way this song makes you feel is exactly what the 1980s felt like. It’s the quintessential 80s song.
80s music will never die
Nunca!!❤❤❤
Brutal el maldito tema
🎉👏👏👏
I know 80s ppl who hate this song lmao
some new alt/indie music sounds very similar to 80s music
This song brings many tears to my eyes. I miss the 80s very much. My whole family was alive and well,i had no worries and just loving life. I'am 53 now and most of my family have passed on this world is a different than it once was.
É verdade
That makes two!!! I miss thoses day!!!!....❤
@@bettypsonis1622..3
Know how you feel
The world is much worse than it was. The 90s gave the world hope, but post 911 and social media stole that away.
Napoleon Dynamite's ending is so nice and sweet, and the addition of this song almost makes me wanna cry. Of happiness.
I’m here because of that movie as well
I agree tbh one of the best movies ever the ending is pretty damn near perfect with this song
The movie great and this song makes it 10 times better.
@@rumblebird9888 Me too, just watched a d searched this song, never knew who sang it even though I'm an 80s teen, I was always familiar with it but now finally saved it to my library 😊
I came here specifically looking for the mention of napoleon. You were the first. 😎
Thank you Pantheon for introducing me to this song
ESSA MUSICA É UMA SUPER VIAGEM
I'm here because of pantheon. I heard this song before I watched it
Same!
Just finish pantheon today
Dude pantheon was SOO GODDAMN Good. I was born in '94 and have heard this song plenty of times. But pantheon used it so well it made me finally look up the song and add it to my Playlist.
I had just graduated HS in 1988…..I worked some odd jobs, had some girlfriends, had no direction and owned a 1980 Fiat Spyder convertible (a terrible/awesome car). On those summer nights when it was warm and clear I’d play this song on my cassette as loud as I could with the top down and my mullet in a pony-tail to keep it out of my face to decompress from what I thought was stress back then….it was like a magic song that melted away all my fears, insecurities, and worries all at once as I sang along out loud….it was just me and the world at that moment, a feeling which I wish I could have kept in a bottle for when I needed it….
1988 was the year this song was released, it's been 36 years.
Amen my friend. I wish I knew what I know now back then. I graduated in 75, married in 76 and music was everything back then. Saw a LOT of bands but I will always regret not seeing W.I.R. and Queen. Was blessed to see Bowie, Cooper, oh so many bands! Music was and is everything!
Awesome backstory! I too graduated in 1988 and loved listening to this in my 1975 IH Scout II (also a terrible but incredible car lol!). Lord, I miss those days indeed!
1988 grad here. Music store employee with a mini-truck mullet. Such wonderful times.
I learned how to drive stick on a 1980 Fiat spider. It really is a terrible awesome car.
The 80's were the best years to be a teenager/young adult. This is a classic!
Such amazing time!
Totally agree!! I was born in 1970.
The 80s was the best of my young years..
...or to be a Kid. The 80s Were Magical
@@andersonnunes483 ♥️
I've sang this song a million times, in my head, to my relationships, and my commitments. Just now, I realized, this is not only a love song, it's a family, commitment song. My dad was diagnosed with cancer, had the tumor removed, plastic surgery to repair the gapping hole... As I think about the last 6 weeks, wiping ass, cleaning bed pans and urinals of my 82 y/o dad, thinking about the cycle of life, I understand completely and believe totally in the promise, a promise, and the cycle of life. xoxo all.
Nicely said. Be well.
❤🦋❤🦋❤🦋❤🦋 Sending love to you and your Dad...
Blessings to you 🙏🏼
Good wishes to you and your family sir
graphic words of love. ❤️

It's crazy how songs like this when they came out were awesome and fun then 30 years later it makes happy and also makes you cry. Beautiful music will never get old.
very well put
What I love personally about this song is having grown up with it and enjoying for most of my life. It came on the radio the other day and I was in the car with my 17 yr old son and he started singing along with me. I was shocked that he knew the words. I asked him how he knew this song. He said he has heard it before and always loved it. That’s what makes music and this song great
Cry? Just be happy, wth is it with everyone crying these days

Currently listening to this on repeat, in my bedroom, on Christmas Eve, while it’s raining outside. This is what peace feels like.
Shit hit different man
Fuckin' right.
Here in Bogotá, Colombia it rained too, something very strange here in December, specially on Christmas Eve
Just like me . 😊🙏🥰
Great song to springboard this world out of 2020... The 2 worst things to happen in 100 years - the pandemic and Trump -not necessarily in that order...

I love this song. My husband sang this song to me 21 yrs ago, and it became our song. He passed unexpectedly in January. Our anniversary was on April 20th & this song came on the radio 😭😭 I miss him like crazy

For my best buddy Mark, who passed away from cancer a few years ago. We had watched Napoleon Dynamite in theatres together as kids. I will always have this song as a memory of him.
May God have mercy on him.
Sorry for your loss
Sorry to hear it…😢 RIP Mark

Sturgill Simpson remade this song. Different take on it bat amazing
I was 15 years old. Now i am 47.... this song still make me feel good
I heard it a couple of days ago while on my 50 mile motorcycle ride to work. I leave at 4:30 AM, so there's hardly any traffic to keep me company as I roll through the woods and farmland . At 71 and and looking at retirement on Dec.31, I'm looking at my twilight years and I tend to reflect a lot anymore. The memories are like swift flowing water going under a bridge. I really like this song and always have. It speaks to all ages.
P.S. I decided to give them another year. I know I can make it. Put one foot in front of the other and make it to lunchtime every day, and the rest of the day is downhill. 😀 I think I have 208 working days left. Thanks for all of your good wishes.
Congrats on your upcoming retirement! I sometimes wonder if I’ll make it the age and position you are in… one day at a time I guess
Take solace in a life well lived, in a road traveled long. Memories are we have in the end.
Congrats on many years of hard work. Wish you the best. Thank you for your words.
Badass old man with a bike I'm jealous of? Check.
WOW! Thank you. Clive n Drew xx
Let the record reflect that I don't care how old you are or what brought you here. I'm just glad to know you appreciate this rather heartfelt and sensitive song from my generation.
Preach
80's
Beautiful John!! My name is John and I was 20 in 1980 and the songs became so heartfelt and love the that the kids are getting into our era!!! I noticed the direction of all the songs that were so great ! One comment from a young girl that didn’t grow up in the 80s said she felt the younger people were missing out! They are!! She tears swelled up in her eyes when the chorus came!
@@johnfreel6004 Agreed!
Great to here that and my wife and I still love the 80s and are often sad that todays music isn’t written in the same format which just doesn’t feel the same! Thanks John! Keep the 80s alive!!!
I just lost a lifelong (57 years) friend. This song has become a huge part of my mourning. Its incredibly painful to listen to right now but I NEED it. Its beautiful.
I'm so sorry 😔..I lost my best friend 7 years ago...hugs
Sometimes the only way to heal is to lean into it. So sorry for your loss 😢

My brother passed Away on 4/17/2021 and this song brings back memories of us singing it together. Best ever. Love you gweedo!!!!
My deepest condolences..just keep his memory forever alive
So sorry for your loss. 🙏💙
I'm so sorry for your loss. I used to belt this out with my sister too. Good times
Sorry to hear that... Blessings to you.
praying for you.
I’m happily married 32 years with adult children and grandchildren. But these 80s songs often open old feelings about my youth and young loves and as such I can only listen sparingly…
I know, my memory plays with me. I can turn be so happy hearing an old song, and then be flooded with nostalgia. It's a good feeling but sometimes I want to go back so bad that it is painful....❤️
Same. Just. …..same.
I know the feeling...
@@lizlovestruecrime983 uncle Ricco couldn't have said it any better .

Nothing can compare to 80s Synth pop ❤😢
Awesone analisys❤️🔥🎛️🎵🎼
Forever the 80s
exactly!
I was a club DJ from 1980 to 1996...80's were the BEST!!!!!!
😉👍
It is my opinion that this is one of the greatest songs ever made.
Fully agree
This is my all time favorite song. I dedicated this to my boyfriend 28 years ago. We celebrated our 27 wedding anniversary on February 25. It can still make me emotional
27 tomorrow for us. Posting this tomorrow!
Song is good, cover sucks.
Aawww. My daughter’s birthday.
congratulations to all of you, this song comes from the heart 🙂
Oh, how I miss the 80s!
My dad passed away yesterday and now I'm making a playlist with all the songs he loved and I remember him by. This is one of them. Thank you dad for showing me the greatest artists of all times. Loved, missed and never forgotten 🤘🔥❤
Bullshit
i’m so sorry❤ he is remembered w so much love!
very sorry ❤
Sorry for your losing your dad. I do the same with my father's favorite songs. Much support & strength to you, friend.

50 YEARS OLD HERE, IN 2024 this song turned 36 years old.....and I still love it!!!
Age is man made..!! Keep dancing..!!! 🥳🙏🎶🔥🥰💃🪩
Idem ❤
Yes ma'am 💯💯
Same here. Amazingly timeless song.
Também amo essa música não deixo de escuta lá em pleno 2024
If it wasn't made in the 80's I dont want it .
It’s crazy how music can feel like time travel… not just because of the memories it’s brings back but because sometimes for a brief moment it actually felt like you were back in a moment from the past. You get that same feeling you remember that you had just for a moment. It’s so surreal
I know exactly what you're talkin about
I hear this song and I am in a rental car driving into Arlington VA from Dulles Airport after a long flight from Los Angeles International. It's dark, I'm tired, the wine has completely worn off, and I can't wait to check into the Marriott in Crystal City.
It's the only perfect and real time machine. It just drags you back there, inside out.
If I could go back to the 80's I would do it in a heartbeat
Yep. Ive come to the conclusion that we are getting old haha
God I love this song! Why is it that once you start listening to these fire 80's hits, you end up binging on all 80's music (no matter the genre 'cause they were all bangers) for hours on TH-cam? Nothing and I mean straight up nothing will ever dominate the music, culture and fads of the 80's! So blessed to have lived and experienced the enlightening 80's. This 55 year old will always be an 80's child!
I'm a 52 years old will always be an 80's child. Your comment is beautiful.
@@alfredopilot172 thanks so much! We're so blessed to have lived during the best decade ever! 😊👍
I'm almost 28, and while I love the stuff I grew up with, a big part of me wishes I'd gotten to experience the 80s! 😩
@@1dramaprincess the 80's were definitely the best! No cell phones, no social media... Just pure fun! Thankfully we have the TH-cam time machine portal haha. It's funny and ironic how today's technology can connect us to our past just by listening to one of these timeless songs. 😊
That's exactly what I'm doing right now, binging :D
There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.
It's amazing how songs like this evoke a longing to go back! Memories flash through your mind...feel the feeling, a scent takes you back...brings an ache in your heart...
Try "Tell Me" from "Killing Eve" tv show.
Without a doubt
That’s the EXACT word that comes to my mind, and that I’ve used to describe this song. How uncanny.
Although it had that bittersweet feel - beautiful but meloncholic - even when it was first out, and current, as with a number of other Bittersweet songs during & from the 80’s, including “Forever Young” by Alphavlle, and “Time After Time” (Cindi Lauper), and so many other Greats.

this song is such a masterpiece, the 80's and early 90's were a better time to be a teenager or a young adult
I started humming the baseline at work one day, doobie doobie doo...bump doobie doobie doo and my boss walked in and started humming it along with me, and I knew I was at the right job.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written
Some bands only have one hit in them. I'm happy to share this song with you. You stay positive always
that´s soo damn true ,heard it today for the first time in my life
Yes it is and I will always love it!
Lyrics
If you need a friend
Don't look to a stranger
You know in the end
I'll always be there
And when you're in doubt
And when you're in danger
Take a look all around
And I'll be there
I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
(I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
(I promise you)
But if you wait around a while I'll make you fall for me
(I promise you)
I promise, I promise you, I will
When your day is through
And so is your temper
You know what to do
I'm gonna always be there
Sometimes if I shout
It's not what's intended
These words just come out
With no cross to bear
I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
(I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
(I promise you)
But if you wait around a while I'll make you fall for me
(I promise you)
I promise, I promise you
I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
(I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
(I promise you)
And if I had to walk the world I'd make you fall for me
I promise you, I promise you I will
Gotta tell you
Need to tell you
Gotta tell you
I've gotta tell you
I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
(I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
(I promise you)
But if you wait around a while I'll make you fall for me
(I promise you)
I promise, I promise you
I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
(I promise you)

(I promise you)
And if I had to walk the world I'd make you fall for me
I promise you, I promise you I will
I will, I will

Was driving my car back home yesterday and this came out on the radio like a flashback. Needless to say I started singing very out loud. That's the magic of the 80's music
*_Matthew 11.28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."_*
*_Luke 19.10 for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”_*
_Jesus Christ loves you. Repent and be saved. Only Jesus Christ saves. God bless you, and the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you and your family._

Excelente clasico una obra de arte
Cool❤👍✌️🙏🪻
I might be sad that I can't go back to the 80s but I'm so thankful I got to experience first hand some of the best music ever. Truly we were spoilt for choice.
I was in my late 20's to early 30's at the time. I got to love it first hand. It's sad to say it is all nostalgia now. I was in Bed Bath and Beyond a month ago and heard this (over head speakers) and I said to myself. "YEAH" I know this song. I have not heard it for so long and forgot the title. I got home and you have got to love the internet.. a "promise You' search (most repeated phrase) and it came up with this. I listed it in my favorites before the chorus played !
🎵🎶💕👍
A lot of what is on the radio now is just crap! Back then most musicians played their instruments and wrote their own songs. Now pop stars are just manufactured images backed by song writing teams and record companies.
We definitely were spoilt.
We are very lucky to experience this. Spent my adolescence and teenage years growing up in the 80s
There have been many decades of great music, but the 80s, in my opinion was the golden decade with the best music.
90s was a good follow up as well
I was a club DJ from 1980 to 1996...80s music was the BEST!!!!
3000 BC was my year. The bone flute was crazy good
This is one of the most beatiful songs ever written, with such an amazing bassline that perfectly fits with the rthytm pattern. The voices and chorus are so so cool. The production is superb. Pure 80`s spirit. New wave, synth-pop. Best.
Loved this when it was released. Still do.
maldini1000 definitely u bet!!!!
maldini1000 absolutely Devine!!!!

Algum Br em pleno 2023 ouvindo essa música? Top dms, tenho apenas 26 anos e gosto demais de músicas dessa época.
Com certeza!!! Um classico
Sempre bom voltar aos anos 80, onde existia música de verdade, como está!
Quem viveu plenamente a década de 80 viveu a melhor
Eu vivi essa época, tinha 17 anos quando ouvi essa obra prima pela primeira vez, foi amor a primeira vista
Aqui mano!
wow... I came across this song by pure accident, and when the chorus came I immediately started tearing up, it's just so beautiful :'( what we young adults are missing man...
P0000en 00
Good bless you Maria! I was born in 1960 and saw a lot of things change and when the 1980s came I noticed how songs were written for hope and for love! I’m a musician and I know how the industry works. The 80s actually went into the 90s until 1993. Then all the beautiful songs for love and hope disappeared. I’m 60 now and I long for the beautiful feel and expressions those songs gave us! Keep searching the 80s and you will find a treasure of heart felt music that still to this day make me cry. I saw that era to be the greatest for music and I felt proud to be a musician then!
My wife and I still love these 80s songs!! Here’s Caine more to help you know that yes all of us now are missing out!! Nothings going to stop us- Jefferson starship , endless summer nights- Richard Marx, Angel eyes, Steelheart, Street of dreams- Rainbow. That’s just a few that will link to more.
...and this song is almost 33 years old, released January 1, 1988, wow. have always loved this song but thought it was O.M.D.
Mee too me too i feel you
I will die someday, but ‘80s music never will.
So true
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Brenton Ellis Steffi is 😅😊🎉singing music and singing at my

I always saw my father listening to this song, I always thought it was just an ordinary song, but over time, I understood the true meaning of the lyrics, I realized that it is not a simple song, and I understood why my father always listened to it
I can`t watch 80`s videos anymore without tearing up
Same.
Yeah man yeah
Same here
Ugh, me too!
same big time
I can only imagine how wonderful was listening to these songs on the way to school as teenager in the 80's
Please send me back to the 80's who's with me?
Yes in my WALKMAN!
The 80’s were so magical! I dream of those days past. Music was great and love was intense!
I was there, I was very very young but I was there lol. I was born in 83.
So go to heaven?
It was an awesome time. The music, parties, high school, man they were good times.
My daughter played this at her wedding for her first dance with her husband. She lives thousands of miles away overseas. This song brings tears, but I feel closer when I’m missing her.
See this song bring tears.
Overseas......europe?
Ireland 🇮🇪
@@johnperkins1301 yes..Ireland is a beautiful country.
Good taste for a wedding song! I did an 80s song too-I Want to Know What Love is by Foreigner
Man do I miss this era. Such good times. High school in the 1980's when our Gen X girls were hot, cars looked great and we only had vinyl records (cassette tapes sucked). HELLO to all my peeps who are 55 this year!!
2022 and it's still one of the best songs ever
Me of course!
It is indeed.
You got that shit right
Yeah totally agree. Was just watching Napoleon Dynamite again and this is the perfect song to end the movie.
@@gavinstarling8737 you have good taste lol. Best movie and yes song 🙌🏽🔥
Anos 80, foram sonhos! Não consigo ouvir tanta beleza, nas músicas atuais
Anos 80 e 90 foram maravilhosos 🥰
Porque não há mais ....it's over !!!
*_Matthew 11.28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."_*
*_Luke 19.10 for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”_*
_Jesus Christ loves you. Repent and be saved. Only Jesus Christ saves. God bless you, and the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you and your family._

Amén.
Não existem músicas atuais, só barulho.
This song has been used a lot in movies, tv, advertisements, or even in random event. It just shows that this song is a timeless classic.
this song is not timeless, thats what makes it so good
Bem informada Maika😊
And some random Fortnite Peter Griffin meme video
@@priceJJpride88Seems timeless in some areas yet not timeless in others…both. It's interesting, The Promise was released in 1987. The following song (Astronomical Illusion) was written in 1986 and recorded as a demo in 1993, but never recorded professionally. There is a similarity to them. It must have been the era. th-cam.com/video/tcZDfImNEHQ/w-d-xo.html
Napoleon Dynamite Movie End Credits 😍
It's awesome to see young Dougray Scott and Mark Strong just chilling and singing together.
😂
I forgot this song for almost two decades till one day I listened this in a movie called Napoleon Dynamite. Tears were flowed on my cheeks. Goosebumps everywhere. Every strand of hand hair stood up crazy. I still remember that day. It was somewhere near 2005. More or less. Nostalgic. Intensely brought me to the late 80s.
😀💚
It’s bittersweet when you hear a song you haven’t heard in many years that you used to love and forgot about. Plus the memories that come with it.
I have never heard of this song until I saw the dvd of the movie. I've been in love with it ever since then, which is, what, when did the movie come out? A LONG TIME!!
Wait - there’s 2 Jennifer Connellys?
Napoleon dynamite made me love this song too💕
One of the best soundtracks of my youth , still listening in Oct 21
Lyrics:
If you need a friend
Don't look to a stranger
You know in the end, I'll always be there
But when you're in doubt
And when you're in danger
Take a look all around, and I'll be there
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me
I promise, I promise you I will
When your day is through
And so is your temper
You know what to do
I'm gonna always be there
Sometimes if I shout
It's not what's intended
These words just come out
With no cross to bear
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me
I promise, I promise you I will
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me
I promise you, I promise you I will
I gotta tell you
Need to tell you
Gotta tell you
I've gotta tell you
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me
I promise, I promise you
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me
I promise you, I promise you I will
I will
I will
Thank you@
thanks for the letter
Waw....👍
Muito bom cantar junto , muito obrigado por postar .
Yeah right. Empty promises (again)! Anyway, nice hair though...really beautiful...
We've already experienced the best music we'll ever see in this lifetime. They don't make them this good anymore. 😔
in ANY life-time. Preach!
that is because society hit a peak in the 80s, it was still really good in the 90s but in the 2000s it turned to garbage
Stop
@@limlovely04 🤣
@@DeE-pt5lz You are absolutely correct. I can elaborate more on what you are saying with the 1980’s were the height of Western Civilization. The 1990’s was a decent, but flawed “Part II” and the 2000’s was a “Part III” where the writers didn’t bother to acquaint themselves with the source material.
I compare it to the three “Smokey and the Bandit” movies. The first one was a brilliant and fun adventure movie. The second one was a movie that was decent, but couldn’t decide if it was a comedy or an adventure movie. And the third came into existence after someone heard about the first two movies from a drunken hobo that was living in a dumpster.
This is my dad's favorite song, everytime I hear it it makes me feel closer to him! Love this song.
Moment of silence for people who never find this song 😔
Haaaaa ohh lololol, you made me laugh @Gen gen!!!! Haaaa... i know right?! 😝😁☺️
I just found out about it now.
@@pinku708 😀☺️👍🏼🤗

DEZEMBRO 2024❤❤❤
I had a friend who died a few years ago and this was one of his favorite songs. Every now & then I come and listen to this classic tune but it always leaves me in tears! Because the words are completely him. He was my best friend who was simply & truely gifted & didn't realize it but the saddest thing of all his family never saw that talent he had because of his mental health. Hence why I need to tell you. I myself is trying my best to teach my kids how to become someone & use the gift your Blessed with in memory of that one very special buddy I called a brother S.K.L. Never forget someone who inspired you cause life is delicate.
What you said there is a wonderful tribute to your friend. The tears you shed are your gift to his memory. You are a good man.
@@MsMars. Really appreciate your lovely words! XX........
He had you for witness.
That's just sweet.
Sad that happened but I'm glad you have good memories for yourself of him including this great tune. Cheers to you and may your friend rest peacefully. I don't normally stop to respond to anything like this , there is something to that I feel . Take care .
Does anyone else love when you find a song that you realize played as the soundtrack to beautiful moments in your youth?
Definitely Audrey W. And don't those same songs bring you back and make you yearn for those times.?
Yes!
Doing this right now lol
Fantastic song , great 80 s hits
Great memories. Those were the days. The 80's was the best part of my life.
I'm 73 and found this song about a year ago. I love it. ❤
😂 I found it…3.38 minutes ago and I like 👌 too 🏴😎
It’s never too late to find music that moves you! The 80’s were fun of timeless music
Were you in a coma during the 80s?
Next you'll be commenting this on a Cyndi Lauper video...😂
Jk jk 😜
Don't be so mean

No mínimo!
👍😋🇪🇦
The artists of the 80's were all unique in their style of music and lyrics. Nothing like today. This is what makes the 80's timeless.
Lol This comment but switch the year shows up in every older music comment section
@@yseson_ and yet it’s so true. No school like the old school.
Listen to more new music. You obviously are only checking out what the radio is telling you to. Do your ownr esearch, today we have thousands of unique and amazing artists. Comments like this just show a real lack of awareness of todays musical climate. It doesn't even matter what genres you like, there is someone making awesome NEW music in that style, right now.
Timeless, Priceless all in one bag FOREVER GOLDEN HOLLAR LOUDER BOYEEE?!!
Young people dont understand it!!!!!!
Alguém mais está ouvindo esse clássico no ano de 2022 ?

2023👍
2024 👍
Top demais

Aqui en 2022.😘💖👍
I graduated 9 yrs ago (10 yrs next year), and i still miss my friends as well as my childhood. Being an adult sucks, but it's true what they say. "You CAN'T beat the clock." 😔. Thats life
Me in Chicago at 66. I was 30 when this song hit the airwaves back in 1988😊👍. One of my favorites to this day.❤
Where does the time go 😢
Hey me too. a 58 er' now in South Central WA. 😎
Thank you for the info that it came out in 88. That makes this song even more meaningful special to me. ❤
Eu tinho 4 anos en 1988...hoje eu com 40 anos ..essa musica lembra meus tios aqui no Brasil
My father used to always listen to this, now I've finally encountered that one song I never knew the title to for over a decade now. The nostalgia brings me a sense of comfort.
Definitely didnt expect to see you here. Guess me and the legendary commenter had the same childhood.😆
hold on to that one. good luck
nice, welcome to rome
You're totally right 👍
Did he bounce you on his knee to this?
Love this song, the 80's were by far the GREATEST Decade of Music!
Yes. I love this song too❤️
And always will be!!!
Well sort of. It was the last decade where musicianship mattered
So true and iam glad I got to experience it it was a great time to be alive 🙌
ive always preferred the 60s but the 80s did have incredible music
Iconic 80's song! Love it!
The bass in this song is absolutely delicious.
Like a freshly caught bass.
Tasty...
The most beautiful song of 80's! A true masterpiece. ☘️
Most definitely! 🙌🏼👍🏼
it is its like the story of my life all summed up in 3.37 minutes!
Super
Coming from Jennifer Connelly that's quite the compliment!🥰
Thank you Sturgil for covering this!!❤
I'm now 60 and i remeber hearing this for the first time my junior year in college. Such a perfectly crafted song.
