I sit here, after New Year’s Eve 20/21, listening to this song, which reminds me of watching Grosse Point Blank as a teenager with my late father. Everything seemed so simple. What I’d give to go back...
I'm sorry for your loss brother. You will always have the memories with your Dad at such memories are eternal. I feel the same way about present times. Don't know where life is going but definitely lost the genuine feeling of the good old days. Just don't lose faith and keep living
I’ve been widowed 5 years now, I was married 6 together 10 years and this film was the moment he told me he loved me- I opened a world of films to him he couldn’t imagine. But his love opened the door to my heart and it still belongs to him wherever he may be! Fly high my angel but BHNML ❤️
I adore this version. When I were a teen, I rented this soundtrack from the library and would cruise with all my windows down in my little 1990 Dodge Daytona car and blare this song. It holds a special place in my heart. Wild and free. So young and carefree. Oh, to be 17 again!
When My wife and I were first dating, I cooked her dinner, at my place and had this soundtrack playing, while we ate. We both loved this version of the song and I replayed it and told her it was how I felt about her, that she had "opened my heart." She just passed away from COVID-related causes, after 15 years together. As she lay dying, I sang it to her, and I could see her eyes move, in response. The line "When tragedy befalls you, don't let it drag you down, love can cure your problems, you're so lucky I'm around," just sets me to crying, right now; but, in a joyful way, as it reminds me how lucky I was . Rest in Peace, Barb.
Thanks for sharing your story. You are a lucky man, blessed to have know her. To me there is no mistaking when God's plan creates a story like this, not that I understand it completely but when somone can by joyful in the memory
One of the greatest underrated films of all time,I’ve introduced a good 15 people to this film and they’ve all put it into their top 5. It’s just warm,despite the murderous overtone,the redemption of love clears him does it not? Welcome back pointers.
@Vamshi Krishna Grosse Point Blank - 1997, starring John Cusack and Minnie Driver. A hitman goes back to his high school reunion, with some wonderful 80s nods. Great movie.
The plotline about Dan Aykroyd trying to set up a union for hit men and getting killed by by having an old-fashioned boxy tv smashed down on his head also adds a lot to the film.
it reminds me of the moment in my life when I found true love. this song was playing on the stereo and a girl and I looked into each others eyes and at that moment realized we were in love with one another. it was a love either one of us had ever experienced. most people never find true love but some are lucky enough to find it atleast once in their life. to look into someone's eyes and see their soul is a truly amazing spiritual experience and I am happy to have had that.
As much as the full quote would be a downer, I think Prince Humperdink had it right, with the quote that begins "You truly love each other and so you might have been truly happy. Not one couple in a century has that chance, no matter what the story books say."....
Okay, so far I'm 1 for 3 on people REALISING MY COMMENT IS A LINE FROM THE FILM. Unless y'all are being ironic in which case HAHAHAHAHHAHAAAA, well done. Tomorrow we'll go to the zoo.
This song is definitely one of my all time favourites... And it is SO much better than the throwaway original! Most of the times remixes can't surpass originals but this really does it. It just takes me to a different place every single time...
I love this slowed down, deconstructed and reassembled version of the song. Its funeral pace provides access to parts of the music that were glossed over in the original... Fast or slow, still a great song.
Like many of the commenters on here, this was my wedding song. My beautiful wife and I married 25 glorious years this past September. This past October she passed after a 10 year battle with cancer. I miss her terrible and will love her until my dying day.
Sorry to hear your loss . I left a " Welcome back Pointers" comment here 5 years ago...in humor . My wife and I were fans of this movie and enjoyed the distinctly 80's soundtrack. She passed away in 2022 from autoimmune disease...it's been an incredibly difficult year for our family . The saving grace is the embodiment of togetherness in this song ...there is far more to this than I could Imagine. Be well.
I just came across this version after listening to the original and it made me want to check out the movie since I've never heard of it before. After watching the movie and seeing the scene this song is played in the background it makes it even better. Great movie and great mix of the song!
I really in loved with this movie, Jersey Girl. I just watched the movie at 3am, can't sleep because of my anxiety about my family's situation and I really enjoyed watching this movie and yes the ending with this song hit me hard into my soul. I think I'm going to listen this song repeatedly. What a great movie to rewatch
I'm dealing with anxiety too. I got bipolar and this is the cycle for me. I believe Jesus woke me up at 2am singing this song to me. Here is a little montage I made that He may use to heal my broken heart. I suffer from all sorts of addictive behavior. Love is good! th-cam.com/video/hgYo7MNT_UU/w-d-xo.html I hope you get feeling better. ❤️
80s crushes were as follows: John Cusak, Mathew Broderick, Michael J Fox, Robert Downey Jr., and Rob Lowe. I loved brown hair to dark brown hair but my ex fiance was blonde go figure 🤷♀️ My husband is brunette with light brown eyes 😉 it all makes sense 😂
I agree! This is the best version of this song. I was watching the movie Take me home tonight and this is the version they use when the main character is cruising through LA at night with the girl of his dreams...
how many versions of my favorite song be made? This is my absolute favorite, but I love them all. Eddie Vedder and everyone in between! All the way back to high school, 82" when no one around seemed to me incredibly not moved by the original. Pete Townsend is a treasure 'to my heart!'
I'm watching "Take Me Home Tonight" (OK movie) and just had to hear this song again and add it to my playlist. According to the image above I must have heard it when I watched "Grosse Pointe Blank" (one of my favorite movies) and when searching for a clip with this song I noticed that I must have heard it in "Jersey Girl" (not one of my favorite movies) as well.
After Ben Affleck made an asshole of himself on TV accusing Sam Harris of being a racist basically for being an atheist and critical of Islam and would not back his prejudism with arguments nor answer SH's questions on how it made him a racist... I would say Ben Affleck is an asshole.
This is the best ever version of this song. It was my wedding song and means so much to me🖤🖤🖤🖤
I love this comment
I learned it from a girl friend’s (now wife) friend’s wedding cd. Also he sneaks in a little baba o’riely at about 2:00.
no question
It really is. I always wished it was the only version cus whenever I hear the original I'm disappointed. Sorry Pete.
For my wife and me, too. Dancing to this was the best part of that day!

Best not to dwell on the past.
I as well
God just bless us. We are still worth it

2.2 turbo ? I had a Laser and daytona lol
@@jasondelisle9502 Nah, Diego didn't have a Turbo. That would have been sweet though
I’ll blast it out of my Forester on Halloween ‘22 for you. 👻
I'm glad you have that. It really is a great song.

So sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine your pain. Hope you are coping and remembering all the good times you had with your wife!
Such a beautiful memory. Prayers to you. My your beloved Barb rest in peace.
That's beautiful...😢

I just heard this song on The Goldberg's TV Show. I hadn't heard this since the 80's. Love it!!! ♥♥♥
Literally fucking same 👍🏻👍🏻
@@dylandressel194 Same here. My name is Dylan too

Yoooooooo!!! Meeeee toooooooo!! Literally today.

One of, if not the best Cusak movie ever! Between this and High Fidelity!
Fuck yea... Say anything is great also
Let's not forget the movie Say Anything.
I agree.. but of I had to chose jus one.. grosse point blank (near my hometown, Detroit)
Popcorn, Kid!
Better off dead 1985
My wife and had our first dance at our wedding to this song! Love this version!
I would have had to jump in if I were at your wedding. Such a great tune version. Can't find it on any streaming service which sucks.
The original version was GREAT but this version is by far my favorite. Love it more every time I listen to it.
THIS is how you remix a song. Simply beautiful.
it reminds me of the moment in my life when I found true love. this song was playing on the stereo and a girl and I looked into each others eyes and at that moment realized we were in love with one another. it was a love either one of us had ever experienced. most people never find true love but some are lucky enough to find it atleast once in their life. to look into someone's eyes and see their soul is a truly amazing spiritual experience and I am happy to have had that.
I really like your comment, I can dig what you said with your heart, thank you.....
If only I were less intelligent and ignorant to enjoy simple things.
As much as the full quote would be a downer, I think Prince Humperdink had it right, with the quote that begins "You truly love each other and so you might have been truly happy. Not one couple in a century has that chance, no matter what the story books say."....
r/thathappened
R u still with her..??? True love, i hope you the best with the thing called love..
This is one of my favorite remixes/covers of any song, ever.
Just watched grosse pointe blank for the 3rd time this month and this song still slays me
The scene where Cusack and Akroyd talk about forming a union, funny $hit.
@@h2obeth workers of the world unite!

One HELL of a good friend that does not even think twice about helping you dump a body. Ah..... FRIENDS!!!
And in IRL they have mad beef
I'm here,From Albuquerque New Mexico after watching Project Adam on Netflix. 3-12-2022
Heard this in Take Me Home Tonight. Great scene while this song played in the background

This song is definitely one of my all time favourites... And it is SO much better than the throwaway original! Most of the times remixes can't surpass originals but this really does it. It just takes me to a different place every single time...
Don’t look up Pete’s research into cp cause it might ruin it for you but I agree lol
I love this slowed down, deconstructed and reassembled version of the song. Its funeral pace provides access to parts of the music that were glossed over in the original... Fast or slow, still a great song.
Absolutely stunning track one of pete's finest

Californication Season 7 Episode 1 !! That's one of the reasons I love this show - excelent music!!
My favorite show of all time!!
What an underrated film
Hi-Fidelity was underrated too
I watched it yesterday (for the first time). Loved it. Way better than the Hitman one that's for sure, lmao....
A nice remix, of a great song. Adds something electronic to the atmosphere of the song.
Fits perfect in Jersey Girl

Reminds me of 1997 , Nantucket Island . ❤

I think Martin Blank is one of the few at that reunion who lived up to his potential.
Well put!
Just one song on a fantastic soundtrack.
John Cusack my first 80s crush! Great Movie, even better soundtrack.
80s crushes were as follows: John Cusak, Mathew Broderick, Michael J Fox, Robert Downey Jr., and Rob Lowe. I loved brown hair to dark brown hair but my ex fiance was blonde go figure 🤷♀️ My husband is brunette with light brown eyes 😉 it all makes sense 😂
beautiful piece of art
Awesome song, I love the way she looks at him! Great movie!
THIS IS GOING TO BE MY FOREVER FAV. OR MAYBE 2 YEAR FAV
My all time favorite movie!

..awesome remix.. classic song
This is absolutely the best version of this song!
Let my love open the door.....good song....great movie....
to the special one.
great song and great movie
ONE OF THE GREATEST SOUND TRACKS EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just love the 90's movies, John Cusack amd Minnie Driver are good in this movie. Grosse Point soundtrack so memorable and all songs are catchy.
A terrific plot, great acting, and superb soundtrack.
What movie is this
Gross Point Blank
heard this while driving upstate new york on the new york thru way...love this mix its light and heavy and deep ..!!
Always LOVED this version!
It is a beautiful song, written by a legend. I've never heard a bad version.
this version takes me back to the movie every time!
I'd rather love then hate. Hate is to big of a burden. ;-)
So...you're...saying you're lazy?
Welcome back Pointers
I agree! This is the best version of this song. I was watching the movie Take me home tonight and this is the version they use when the main character is cruising through LA at night with the girl of his dreams...
I also agree! This is definitely the best version of Let My Love Open The Door!
Boy did I just slide right back into the 80's with this mix ! Love it !
the goldbergs brought be here. :)
How you gonna compare a TV Show and movie??
Just like that.
Same here, I love The Goldbergs
daveoh1000. Same HERE!
Same
Take me home tonight brought me here 😊

This song wrecks me
My wedding song!
Mine in 2014 too!
Mine in 2003!
Same! 2001
Best song ever made. There, I said it.
best version ever love it
Take Me Home Tonight was one hell of a movie! Brings you back to the 80's in 2011!
Great and underrated classic of a movie. And phenomenal remix of this song
Truly Wish They would start Re-Releasing these movies in the theatres - who wouldn't want to go see this on a Summer Evening......
I love this! Both versions are equally Great!! They capture two different viewpoints and it’s awesome. You can’t do that with many songs.
This version is easily the best.
Aww love the song always have always will and oh that movie is amazing love it too!!!
Excellent taste MuzicLoverF13! Nice to see it still exists...Oh yeah...seasons greetings,good tidings and all that jazz!
Hands down, Pete Townshend=One of the Greatest Composers of the 20th century
I've always wanted to drive a girl after a dance to this song. Just like in take me home tonight
Take Me Home Tonight, the 2011 film...
I'm watching "Take Me Home Tonight" (OK movie) and just had to hear this song again and add it to my playlist. According to the image above I must have heard it when I watched "Grosse Pointe Blank" (one of my favorite movies) and when searching for a clip with this song I noticed that I must have heard it in "Jersey Girl" (not one of my favorite movies) as well.
I hate saying this, but I think Jersey Girl might be Kevin Smith's best movie. Ben Affleck makes references to Batman, and he's not a total asshole.
After Ben Affleck made an asshole of himself on TV accusing Sam Harris of being a racist basically for being an atheist and critical of Islam and would not back his prejudism with arguments nor answer SH's questions on how it made him a racist... I would say Ben Affleck is an asshole.
Perfect way to end the day...everyday...
Very underrated movie. It reminds me of back home in Michigan.
Aww this reminds me of a very sweet guy!!! :) He is the so amazing.. I wish him nothing but the best.!!!!
Love the movie, and the tunes bring me back to a better time
One of the best black comedy's I have seen.
Jersey Girl brought me here! Amazing movie and song!
They should've put this version on his "Empty Glass" CD as a bonus track
Ah the power of excellent music...
This is such a song, that can make you fall in love with whoever you are looking at.
every time!
@ComedyCityFilms wow take me home tonight brought me here too.lololol... exelent movie. brought back memories
This is the best version
I agree!
This song is very addicting to listen to!!!!!!
Best retooling of a song ever.
I like this better than the original and I love The Who.
This was Pete solo.
Me too.
My bridesmaids and I walked down the aisle to this...means so much to me
I freaked out. Joined the Army. went to business for myself. I'm a professional killer.
Great movie and my favorite version of this amazing song
I love this song, Steve Carrel sang it on Dan in Real Life and it was played on Groose Point Blank
this song always makes me think of the Lord. let His love open the door to your heart :)
this is the star of the romantic films!!! i love!
I love grosse pointe blank. I ate carrots whilst watching this with my friend.
