Most importantly, congrats to Ann Wilson, who announced last week that she has completed her chemotherapy treatments, and is preparing to go back out on the road next year. Stay well Ann, and we look forward to you rocking on for years to come.
As someone who seen Heart live a few years ago for the 5th time, they are still worth going and seeing if you are lucky enough to get a chance! I urge anyone who hasn't seen them live to go while you can, if she does go back on tour. You won't be disappointed at all.
@@YerpDerp17 I too recomend this to EVERYONE! I have seen them countless times...even before the big hair days, and I have NEVER been disappointed. Ann made a public announcement that she is done with chemo and is doing great, so grab tickets to the rescheduled shows. I'm going in March. Seeing the ladies live is something you will remember always!
Nancy Wilson sang the lead on this one and she can sing too. She's usually singing harmony and it's nice to hear her on lead. This song was one of their biggest power ballads as well. Also, Heart doesn't get enough love, the Wilson sisters are such legends.
I was literally just gonna put about the same comment. When you see them live, it's Nancy singing lead on this, not Ann. Nancy can sing damn near as good as her sister.
Fun story I've heard about the recording of this song. Apparently on the day of recording, Nancy had a cold. If you listen carefully to her vocal on the chorus you can hear a delightfully raspy, gravely quality to her voice. The producers loved it- even if she never really sounded like that again.
Nancy does the entire lead on this song. People get confused by the video because Ann is mouthing some of the words. There's a fantastic live version video out there from 2002 I'd highly recommend.
Nancy Wilson was a teenage crush of mine. She was awesome and beautiful for 13 year old me. I think Heart is such a great band, and the Wilson sisters were one of the most talented and beautiful siblings in rock and roll. I still like listening to their music.
My godmother passed away from covid during the pandemic. Heart was one of her very favorite bands. Her birthday is today, October 8th. What are the chances of that! Thanks for unknowingly picking the perfect group for today review!
This song is Nancy’s big song of the 80’s. It’s great to see her see her sing it with a mandolin in concert now. She’s an amazing talent in her own right. These two sisters are everything!!!
Nancy doesn't get nearly enough credit for her stringed instrument playing. Heart has always had great guitarists involved with the band but Nancy wrote a lot of those riffs
I'd love to hear an interview with you and Heart. Your interviews are atypical and make the artists think about what they may do naturally or without thinking. Always a facinating watch. I suspect Ann Wilson is very deliberate, but no one ever gets past the, "your voice is amazing!" in the interviews Ive seen.
I have seen an interview with Ann hosted by the Professor of Rock. Adam did complement Ann on her amazing, one-of-a-kind voice and her response was a kind of "Ahh, shucks" sort of thing. The real takeaway from that interview was that Ann's voice is as compelling and captivating in the spoken word as it is in song. Such a full, rich and 'lived-in' sound, like Ann has taken the mantra of 'comfortable in my skin' and adapted it for her voice. Someone here in chat suggested interviewing Ann & Nancy. I second that! ❤
Nancy Wilson was such an inspiration as a young girl. Nancy played guitar when women really weren't "supposed to", so I learned guitar and drums. So happy to see her getting some love here.
Nancy also gave Eddie Van Halen his 1st acoustic guitar that he used in shows. The story is that they were just hanging out after a show one night and she asked him how he wrote on an acoustic guitar and then used his Frankenstrat to transform it. He said he didn't own an acoustic, so she grabbed one if her own, gave ut to him, and they did some jamming, which Edward used a lot in his later compositions
This song was my introduction to Heart. I was on a 747 in 1986 flying to the US to work for a year, and this track was played in the earphones. I was instantly in love and as soon as I was able, I went out and bought their albums. Been a fan ever since.
I am of the opinion that all first reactions should be the studio version. You can't appreciate how good a live version is until you have something to compare it to. I haven't seen that live version so I will be checking it out but stick with studio versions for reactions.
You can't win as a react channel sometimes. lol If she did that live version then people on the comments would be spamming how she should have done the studio version. lol We often forget we grew up on these bands, and have dissected every part of their content and art. We put unfair expectations on a first reaction. Since we have seen all of it, we pick what we think is best and project it onto the react content creator. I feel the same when people get angry or annoyed that a person doesn't get the full meaning of a song on first listen. As if we haven't heard the songs ourselves 1000s of times. Expecting a react channel to get a song perfect on a first blind listen is just unfair. But people get attached to music and it sort of make them take it personally, even though they shouldn't. lol
Agreed, the Seattle concert is a great display of their sound. Heart did a wonderful performance of These Dreams, Alone, The Battle of Evermore, and others in that concert. On These Dreams it's really clear who is singing what as opposed to the 1980's video.
Right, tapping utilizes hammer-ons and pull-offs to achieve various effects but, in the case of this song, the sound is absolutely a synth, not a guitar. There are plenty of examples in music video history of members of the band depicted as playing numerous things that they didn't actually play in the recording of their respective music. The members of the band simply need/want to be included in the visuals. We must trust our ears, not our eyes!
When it's used for things like "Eruption", or "Beat It", it's called finger-tapping. But when it's used like in this video, it's called "just fake something for the camera because we don't have a keyboard set up to mime the synths." The continuity of the instruments and vocals in this video was very sketchy.
@@amydameron3928 for sure. The lead vocal on this is definitely all Nancy, but the use of Ann's harmonies is immaculate. They are both amazing but this is a showcase for Nancy's vocals.
One thing I always liked about this song is they don't do the standard call-and-respond echo that a lead/backup singer will do. They do a respond-and-call instead. For instance when Ann says "Weaker in my eyesight" in the background just before Nancy sings the same line as lead.
I did hear Ann in an interview that she really wanted to sign the lead on this song. Ann is amazing vocalist but I love that Nancy got the lead on this one. One of my favorite Heart songs.
Nancy is singing the whole song and Anne is going background. The reason Nancy’s voice sounds gravity is because she had a cold but the record producer loved the sound. She was quoted as saying they wanted her to catch another cold for another song.
This is far and away in my top three Heart songs, and I love that we hear Nancy more in it. This is the radio edit, there's a whole other verse they cut out near the beginning in the long version, which I love because this song is so lush and fantastical, and I love to wallow in it for as long as possible.
This song over the years has become very important to me. It's so great how you get "it"! The emotion. I've been so lucky over the years to have worked lights for their tours. Thank you, Thank you!
I always liked Heart- never LOVED them, but liked them & saw them live once or twice long ago- but I agree w/ Dog and Butterfly being special. Totally not the kind of song I usually go crazy over, but there's always been something, I have no idea what, that that song simply did for me like no other sweet, ballady type song ever did. Anyway. Just saying.
@@andychisarick6879 Dog & Butterfly is a tremendous song and one I think Elizabeth should analyze (if she hasn't already). Although, she'd probably be in tears by the end of it.
You know this song because it's written in everyone's DNA. These have to be the longest stretches I've seen Elizabeth let a song run, and it doesn't surprise me that this is the song.
Did you know that Nancy Wilson was the girl in the car laughing at Judge Reinhold's character while in the pirate suit in Fast Times at Ridgemont High? At the time of filming, Nancy was dating Cameron Crowe - the guy who wrote the screenplay for Fast Times, so she got a cameo. At any rate, I'm still trying to get STEVE PERRY from Journey to be reviewed. He has not been reviewed once. This is the fifth time Heart has been reviewed. They deserve it, but I can't believe no reaction has been done for STEVE PERRY for several years now. Can anyone help me out? I'd like to see Feeling That Way/Anytime reviewed since Gregg Rollie's voice enhances each other.
I'm with Ya on this one, Kurt. But if you want to start with Steve Perry, gotta go back to Lights. Then we can cover the greats like Faithfully and Open Arms. The harmonies on Feeling That Way/Anytime are some of the greatest I have ever heard. Good choice!
The live version of Journey's song "Mother, Father" is a song that Elizabeth should react to. She'd be blown away. If you have a TH-cam channel called The Charismatic Voice, it behooves one to react to Journey. Steve Perry's Voice is as Charismatic as it gets.
My mom and I used to sing Amazing Grace in harmony and our voices were so similar and in sync I swear it was like I could feel her voice bouncing around in my own head and chest when we sang together. It was weird and wonderful and I miss singing with her with all my heart. (no pun intended)
This is probably my favorite heart song, not only because it is beautiful, but also it makes me dwell on an old question I've always asked to myself: "Who is the dreamer, and who is the dreamed?" ... Thanks for reacting to this 👍
So excited. Been waiting a long time for You to come back to Heart. Especially breaking down Nancy's turn. Your breakdowns of Heart are UNDOUBTEDLY my FAVORITES. Thank You!
If a person can't fall in love with the Wilson sisters vocals there's something wrong with their ears and heart. Fantastic, fabulous all the way. Ever since the first album. Personal favourite for me after all these decades is---- Magic Man.
I used to know a long time member of the group Heart and he told me that the members of the band would joke/mess around with Ann because the first Heart single to ever go to #1 was this song and it is Nancy singing instead of Ann.
This is one of those songs I didn't hear for about 25 years then one night TH-cam recommended it to me and I poured a glass of wine, cried a lot and listened to it about 20 times in a row.
In the mid 1980s I was a young elementary school student and my mom and dad used to drive from West Seattle to Queen Anne Hill and back. When my sister and I would ride with them they were always listening to the soft rock radio station 92.5 KLSY. This song brings back memories of sitting in the back seat of the car looking out the window and the dark sky and the Seattle city skyline while these amazing soft rock 80s songs would play. Truely nostalgic.
One Heart song that features Nancy as the lead vocalist with Ann as her back-up. It's almost hard to distinguish Nancy's voice from Ann's. Nancy had a cold during recording and tried to re-record, but the first recording was the best.
I have a paralyzed vocal fold, and I've got to say, I love her explanations of vocal movements. It helps me understand my own recovery better than any doctors explanation.
Nancy sings lead throughout. The rasp in here voice is mainly because she had a cold when she sang on this take. She tried several more takes later on, but could never match this version, so they kept it. Going to see Heart this March in Sacramento, first time in almost 50 years for me, very excited! And if you to hear more from great female voices, more songs from The Warning would be appreciated. They released a new album in June, and they are breaking all over the world. They just toured Europe a few months back and just announced 3 shows in Brazil next year. And I don't believe you have reacted to a song where Paulina sings the lead; her vocals on "23" will amaze you.
The guitar technique is just called tapping. And it does kind of have a carbonated quality to it in this context. Usually it's more Eddie Van Halen and less Schweppes effervescence. And no, getting your electric guitars wet will not electrocute you. It's a passive signal with very low power. With that said it can really damage one. Not just with the wood expanding and contracting, but you can corrode the components.
There is a brilliant live version of this featuring Allison Krauss singing with Heart that is beautiful. Worth seeking if you haven't stumbled upon it yet.
If I had enjoyed my job as much as you appear to enjoy this, I never would have retired. And the enjoyment that you get out of this makes it much more fun to watch.
My girlfriend at the time had Michael Hutchins andVince Niel, I had Nancy Wilson. All fair, she's still fetching. Please do their version of Battle of Evermore for them belting out together.
I feel like if you put Nancy Wilson in any other band the band members would be doing everything they could to make her the lead vocalist. It just so happens she's in a band with her sister Ann Wilson, who legit is one of the greatest voices of all time. How on earth can you have two singers in one band as good as the Wilson sisters?
My age group grew up with our older sibling’s Heart: Dog & Butterfly, Barracuda, Straight On, etc. This album was such a cool contrast, and it was EVERYWHERE. MTV, radio, the skating rink I worked at. And that’s not including home play.
Possibly THE most 80s video of all time. Great to hear Nancy take lead vocals. Not as powerful as Anne but it feels like it has more grit and some different tones to it.
This was my intro song to Heart when I was a kid in the 80s. Still love Heart, but the songs that get stuck in my head more than any other are Never and Nothing At All. They're super catchy and along with Alone, are my instant go-to songs by these sisters.
As already said - Nancy is singing lead. According to their book; they ran this song all ways upside down and back to front to make it fit Ann's voice but it simply suited Nancy better... and she absolutely nailed it! The rasp you hear was due to her having a cold on the day of recording. The record company liked it so much, urban myth says, they asked her to get sick again. The guitarist is right-hand tapping. That is; fretting the note of C, for example, and tapping a note higher up the neck...
This to me is their best record, & best production. I used to listen to this when it came out over & over & over. I even made a tape with hours of the song & let it play subliminally while I slept. It’s an absolutely magical mix.
What is even more impressive is that Nancy says she had a brutal head cold when recording this song. They tried recordings after she recovered, but none of them matched this one (I guess the cold giving her that raspy, passionate sound they wanted).
Did you know that this song was offered to Stevie Nick's first? She turned it down because she didn't want two songs named dreams. Did you also know that thos was a song written by Bernie Toppen( Elton John's muse). Look at his catalog; he had so much music inside him!
There is an excellent youtube video named “Nancy In the Studio These Dreams ‘85” which shows Nancy’s recording session for this song. Looks like it was informally recorded on VHS tape by people at the studio. Lots of multiple takes of different parts of the song, followed by her listening to the playback. The video and sound does go out of synch as the tape goes on, but still amazing to see.
These power ballads were my first time hearing Heart back in the 80’s wasn’t until I moved to the US and listened to classic rock stations I heard their stuff from the 70’s which totally rocks Oooooooh BARRACUDA🎸
Barracuda is on my all time favourite compositions and performances. I have it on the same playlist as stuff by the likes of Nat King Cole, TMBG, Albert King, Tchaïkovski, Shostakovich, The Stones... and many more of the greatest composers and performers.
Your intro made me giggle a little. You were ready for the "rockin" version of Heart. I was like: Umm no sweetie, this is a straight up ballad. It's good to be surprised now and then.
I have been saying for decades: Bring back the '80's! As for the voice cracking, Nancy said in an interview she was sick when she sang this. So it'll always be a one of a kind sound in that song.
I’m digging the return to the 80’s here. I need to see an analysis for Heart’s Wild Child and Pat Benatar’s Invincible now for that full female power rock experience.
PLEASE listen to this LIVE...they have many live DVDs made in the past couple of decades, and clips on TH-cam, they do it VERY different, and I really love it. Would be great if you listen to something from Red Velvet Car album...it really shows that the Wilson Sisters are STILL Queens of Rock! (BTW, First "raspy" vocal is Nancy...Ann sings back up and the soft repeating of what Nancy sings and when you see Ann in the video singing softly. The video shows Ann singing part of the main lyric in the beginning of the video and later, it's not her, that is Nancy's voice..) As a decades huge fan of these ladies, I do not remember this song being in a movie...BUT, if you watch Family Guy, Ann and Nancy redo this and "What About Love" in an episode, this one is called "These Beans". this was 1985, no mousse of gel, they used to use shaving cream...a hair dressers hack for big hair, then mousse...wondering if it was the same thing, just a different scent?
I've loved this song since I first heard it in the 80s. But, TH-cam showed me the live in Seattle version. A barefoot Ann and a Nancy showing her amazing vocals. Fantastic performance and my favourite version. ❤
Rick Beato (on his channel) makes a lot of Top 20 lists of guitar superlatives - best metal riffs, best electric solos, etc. He plays them himself, he's very skilled and knowledgable. The one time I saw him use the original was in his Top 20 Acoustic Intros. He said "I don't dare even try it." Then played a clip of Nancy's Crazy On You intro, of course.
Great reaction, as always! You should really check out “Alone” at the Royal Albert Hall. Between their seasoned vocals, the acoustics of the building, the arrangement, and the backing symphony…it’s nothing less than magical! Anne Wilson is arguably one of the greatest female vocalist of my lifetime…truly timeless!

Nancy Wilson is singing lead on These Dreams. Ann is definitely on backgrounds. Nancy was getting over a cold during some of the recording..❤❤❤
Mona Lisa’s and Madhatters is another great Nancy vocal from 2002 alive in Seattle..
Most importantly, congrats to Ann Wilson, who announced last week that she has completed her chemotherapy treatments, and is preparing to go back out on the road next year. Stay well Ann, and we look forward to you rocking on for years to come.
Ann is such a bad ass 💪🏼
So glad she is better and they are going to hit the road early 2025.
YESSSS, so HAPPY for her!!
As someone who seen Heart live a few years ago for the 5th time, they are still worth going and seeing if you are lucky enough to get a chance! I urge anyone who hasn't seen them live to go while you can, if she does go back on tour. You won't be disappointed at all.

Nancy also made most of, if not all, of the music in Almost Famous.

That is fantastic!
Nancy does the entire lead on this song. People get confused by the video because Ann is mouthing some of the words. There's a fantastic live version video out there from 2002 I'd highly recommend.
Nancy Wilson is a rock goddess, with a wonderful voice, in her own right, and a tremendously under appreciated guitarist. He’s the total package.
I agree she is very underappreciated as a guitarist
She's the second best singer in Heart and probably about the 5th best female rock singer overall.
Nancy Wilson was a teenage crush of mine. She was awesome and beautiful for 13 year old me. I think Heart is such a great band, and the Wilson sisters were one of the most talented and beautiful siblings in rock and roll. I still like listening to their music.

I used to know a long time member of the group Heart and he told me that the members of the band would joke/mess around with Ann because the first Heart single to ever go to #1 was this song and it is Nancy singing instead of Ann.
And, not written by Heart.
You have to watch the live in Seattle version!
Ann Wilson, one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time 🎉definitely my favourite female singer
This is one of those songs I didn't hear for about 25 years then one night TH-cam recommended it to me and I poured a glass of wine, cried a lot and listened to it about 20 times in a row.
In the mid 1980s I was a young elementary school student and my mom and dad used to drive from West Seattle to Queen Anne Hill and back. When my sister and I would ride with them they were always listening to the soft rock radio station 92.5 KLSY. This song brings back memories of sitting in the back seat of the car looking out the window and the dark sky and the Seattle city skyline while these amazing soft rock 80s songs would play. Truely nostalgic.
Ann and Nancy had another band in the 90s called the Lovemongers and Nancy has solo work, both are excellent.
Oooh..a chance to hear Nancy! This will be great. #WeneedNancy!
I love There's The Girl as well but this is my favourite ❤
@@suzannejane1035 I like that one, too!
One Heart song that features Nancy as the lead vocalist with Ann as her back-up. It's almost hard to distinguish Nancy's voice from Ann's. Nancy had a cold during recording and tried to re-record, but the first recording was the best.
yep and the record company said they prefered her voice with the cold
Literally heard this song yesterday and was thinking it'd be a great one for you to cover
Lita Ford is another rock lady. She did a duet with Ozzy. The means of the song is close my eyes forever.
My favorite Lita song is the song "Lisa" she wrote for her Mom.
@@neilpatrickhairless Lisa always brings me to tears.
Oh good. I had this song pop up in my shuffle last week and thought "Man, Elizabeth needs to listen to this one." And I only had to wait 4 days!
I have a paralyzed vocal fold, and I've got to say, I love her explanations of vocal movements. It helps me understand my own recovery better than any doctors explanation.
I've seen Heart live several times and they are just as fantastic in person as they are on their albums! Amazing vocals!
Nancy sings lead throughout. The rasp in here voice is mainly because she had a cold when she sang on this take. She tried several more takes later on, but could never match this version, so they kept it. Going to see Heart this March in Sacramento, first time in almost 50 years for me, very excited!
And if you to hear more from great female voices, more songs from The Warning would be appreciated. They released a new album in June, and they are breaking all over the world. They just toured Europe a few months back and just announced 3 shows in Brazil next year. And I don't believe you have reacted to a song where Paulina sings the lead; her vocals on "23" will amaze you.
The guitar technique is just called tapping. And it does kind of have a carbonated quality to it in this context. Usually it's more Eddie Van Halen and less Schweppes effervescence.
And no, getting your electric guitars wet will not electrocute you. It's a passive signal with very low power. With that said it can really damage one. Not just with the wood expanding and contracting, but you can corrode the components.
I've been waiting for a year to see this analysis & can't wait for Elizabeth hearing Ann's voice
There is a brilliant live version of this featuring Allison Krauss singing with Heart that is beautiful. Worth seeking if you haven't stumbled upon it yet.
Alone, I stand by the idea that Heart's version of Alone, is the power ballad perfected.
If I had enjoyed my job as much as you appear to enjoy this, I never would have retired. And the enjoyment that you get out of this makes it much more fun to watch.
My girlfriend at the time had Michael Hutchins andVince Niel, I had Nancy Wilson. All fair, she's still fetching. Please do their version of Battle of Evermore for them belting out together.
This is like a warm Hugg from the 80’s!
Love Heart!❤️🌹
I feel like if you put Nancy Wilson in any other band the band members would be doing everything they could to make her the lead vocalist. It just so happens she's in a band with her sister Ann Wilson, who legit is one of the greatest voices of all time. How on earth can you have two singers in one band as good as the Wilson sisters?
My age group grew up with our older sibling’s Heart: Dog & Butterfly, Barracuda, Straight On, etc.
This album was such a cool contrast, and it was EVERYWHERE. MTV, radio, the skating rink I worked at. And that’s not including home play.
Possibly THE most 80s video of all time. Great to hear Nancy take lead vocals. Not as powerful as Anne but it feels like it has more grit and some different tones to it.
Both sisters sing here and it is so great!
This was my intro song to Heart when I was a kid in the 80s. Still love Heart, but the songs that get stuck in my head more than any other are Never and Nothing At All. They're super catchy and along with Alone, are my instant go-to songs by these sisters.
As already said - Nancy is singing lead. According to their book; they ran this song all ways upside down and back to front to make it fit Ann's voice but it simply suited Nancy better... and she absolutely nailed it! The rasp you hear was due to her having a cold on the day of recording. The record company liked it so much, urban myth says, they asked her to get sick again.
The guitarist is right-hand tapping. That is; fretting the note of C, for example, and tapping a note higher up the neck...
The broken voice in I Can't wait by Stevie Nicks (Fleetwood Mac) is just a must after these power voices of Heart.
This to me is their best record, & best production. I used to listen to this when it came out over & over & over. I even made a tape with hours of the song & let it play subliminally while I slept. It’s an absolutely magical mix.
I loved Ann's rendition of stairway to heaven in front of the 3 band members. Makes me tear up.
What is even more impressive is that Nancy says she had a brutal head cold when recording this song. They tried recordings after she recovered, but none of them matched this one (I guess the cold giving her that raspy, passionate sound they wanted).
Did you know that this song was offered to Stevie Nick's first? She turned it down because she didn't want two songs named dreams. Did you also know that thos was a song written by Bernie Toppen( Elton John's muse). Look at his catalog; he had so much music inside him!
This was Heart's first #1 single.
There is an excellent youtube video named “Nancy In the Studio These Dreams ‘85” which shows Nancy’s recording session for this song. Looks like it was informally recorded on VHS tape by people at the studio. Lots of multiple takes of different parts of the song, followed by her listening to the playback. The video and sound does go out of synch as the tape goes on, but still amazing to see.
This brings me back to a kid. Heart and Cyndi Lauper have that power.
A nice ballad, done in the heart of their commercial era.
A song from my teen years that helped me put to words what was happening in my mind and emotions.
The guitar plucking bit has always made me think of Reading Rainbow. 🌈
Reminds me of "starship - nothings gonna stop us" great powerful lady vocals.
I've always loved this song it's so beautiful and powerful both of their voices sound so pure.
These power ballads were my first time hearing Heart back in the 80’s wasn’t until I moved to the US and listened to classic rock stations I heard their stuff from the 70’s which totally rocks
Oooooooh BARRACUDA🎸
Barracuda is on my all time favourite compositions and performances. I have it on the same playlist as stuff by the likes of Nat King Cole, TMBG, Albert King, Tchaïkovski, Shostakovich, The Stones... and many more of the greatest composers and performers.
Your intro made me giggle a little. You were ready for the "rockin" version of Heart. I was like: Umm no sweetie, this is a straight up ballad. It's good to be surprised now and then.
You would love Larkin Poe two sisters like Ann and Nancy. And vocal harmonies for days and days. They are a blues / southern roots rock band
I have been saying for decades: Bring back the '80's! As for the voice cracking, Nancy said in an interview she was sick when she sang this. So it'll always be a one of a kind sound in that song.
Yes, a chance for you to hear Nancy sing lead vocals!
Request - HALESTORM - I Am The Fire 🔥
Love Alive is one of my favorite Heart songs! Such great singing!
The Live in Seattle concert from 2002 version
I’m digging the return to the 80’s here. I need to see an analysis for Heart’s Wild Child and Pat Benatar’s Invincible now for that full female power rock experience.
Fun fact - this was their first #1 hit which is ironic since Nancy is the lead and Anne is the back-up.
My girlfriends favorite band in high school 1987!! I love this song! Great music, great time and memories!!
PLEASE listen to this LIVE...they have many live DVDs made in the past couple of decades, and clips on TH-cam, they do it VERY different, and I really love it. Would be great if you listen to something from Red Velvet Car album...it really shows that the Wilson Sisters are STILL Queens of Rock! (BTW, First "raspy" vocal is Nancy...Ann sings back up and the soft repeating of what Nancy sings and when you see Ann in the video singing softly. The video shows Ann singing part of the main lyric in the beginning of the video and later, it's not her, that is Nancy's voice..)
As a decades huge fan of these ladies, I do not remember this song being in a movie...BUT, if you watch Family Guy, Ann and Nancy redo this and "What About Love" in an episode, this one is called "These Beans".
this was 1985, no mousse of gel, they used to use shaving cream...a hair dressers hack for big hair, then mousse...wondering if it was the same thing, just a different scent?
I've loved this song since I first heard it in the 80s. But, TH-cam showed me the live in Seattle version. A barefoot Ann and a Nancy showing her amazing vocals. Fantastic performance and my favourite version. ❤
Rick Beato (on his channel) makes a lot of Top 20 lists of guitar superlatives - best metal riffs, best electric solos, etc. He plays them himself, he's very skilled and knowledgable. The one time I saw him use the original was in his Top 20 Acoustic Intros. He said "I don't dare even try it." Then played a clip of Nancy's Crazy On You intro, of course.
Great reaction, as always!
You should really check out “Alone” at the Royal Albert Hall. Between their seasoned vocals, the acoustics of the building, the arrangement, and the backing symphony…it’s nothing less than magical!
Anne Wilson is arguably one of the greatest female vocalist of my lifetime…truly timeless!
Been a Heart fan since the beginning!❤ There's somthing out there" Is the the most powerful moment in the lyrics..
@20:00 Doesn't She look like David Bowie dancing among the Helping Hands from Labyrinth?
Nancy found this song, and Ann tried to buy it from her - but no deal. Turned into their first number one single.
Songs like this, adult, contemporary rock, are frequently played in public spaces, like malls, department stores, and grocery stores.
Ann Wilson - simply the best!
the lyrics to this song are so evocative and worthy of study by a poetry class 😄
Ohhhh, The 80's!!! A great time for music, and to be alive! The 80's and 90's will be the Last time for great music, and how to enjoy innocently.
