    “How did he get famous” - Lex, he got famous because he has an amazing voice and that’s all there really is to it. This one doesn’t need too much deep thinking, as others have also noted. What’s wild is that this is one of those rare songs for a movie that are probably better remembered than the actual movie.

    The scars on Seal's face are from a disease called Discoid Lupus. Lupus is an autoimmune disorder and for lack of a better description, the body attacks itself. Women get the disease more often than men, but when men get it, they get it worse than women do. His scars are pretty much where the "Butterfly Rash" would be and he probably got the scares during a bad flare. But this is from the perspective of a person with Lupus.

No need to look for hidden layers here. And it was a HUGE hit when it came out. Seal is pretty well known as a ballad singer. Listen to CRAZY.

      Except its not. He wrote this back in the 80s, didn't like it, but finally recorded it for his second album. They just used it for the film a year later, but the song wasn't written for the film. And even if it was, that doesn't mean you can't analyze it and look for meaning behind it. Plenty of great music has been written for film.

    Watching this right after your latest Bee Gees experience. I love them and don't know why either. I love Seal too, and never wondered where to put him. Since I was a kid I've had two boxes. Do I like it? Do I not? Stuff moves between those two boxes to this day, and I never put much worry into wondering about genre. I like funk, punk, soul, blues, swing, rock, alternative, metal, folk, country, hip-hop, classical... more genres than I can remember. It's a blessing I wish my own kids had.

    His voice is so smooth and beautiful and just relaxes you. He is also a very nice person to meet. The song is amazing but the Batman movie was horrible that it was in. He was a judge on The Voice in Australia. There was a contestant who came on and sang and none of the judges turned for him and they told him he had a voice for Broadway and he said that was his dream to be in Broadway musicals. Seal said you have a voice that would be perfect there and he paid for him to go to Broadway and be in musicals there and got him started on what he wanted to actually do.

    I wouldn't categorize Seal as rock, but I also wouldn't consider him purely R&B although there are a lot of R&B influences in his music. There are also songs that incorporate heavy guitar riffs. I think trying to comfortably place him in a genre is challenging. He's Seal. That's all. I recommend Crazy next. This is early to mid 90s and yes, it's off the Batman soundtrack.

    Fun fact, not sure if anyone else pointed this out: Seal wrote and demo'd this in the late 80s before he was ever signed, and it was a pretty basic acoustic ballad that he was kind of embarrassed of and never showed anyone. Whilst recording with Trevor Horn (founder of the Buggles of Video Killed the Radio Star fame and producer of a bunch of artists to this day), Horn coaxed Seal into letting him hear it, and then came up with the arrangement you hear on the final track with the strings and oboe and stuff. It got released as single to middling success, but then got a huge bump off the back of Joel Schumacher using it on the Batman Forever OST.

    One of the most beautiful songs of the late 20'th century. I think you're struggling with it because it's in 3/4 (waltz time signature). It was considered a soulful pop song when released and has a unique medieval orchestration/style. Rick Beato has a great What Makes this Song Great (ep 105) video that digs into it (including some video chat with Seal himself).

    Seal was famous YEARS before Heidi Klum became a famous model (she was SI's cover model in 1998)... Seal's first record came out in 1991 and 'Crazy' was his earliest hit single. Seal performed at Queen's tribute concert to Freddie Mercury in 1992... Seal's music is a mix of pop, R&B and light rock. He's from Nigerian descent, but British born.
    'Kiss from a rose' was on his 1994 album, but was released as a single for the movie 'Batman Forever' in 1995 and became one of his biggest hits... along w/ "Don't cry" ... 'Prayer for the dying'... Seal's 1994 album was a global hit, selling 4 million copies (4X platinum) in the US.
    Another hit was 'Waiting for you' that came after 2000.

    For a stunning cover of this song, lookup Larkin Poe "Kiss From A Rose." Larkin Poe is a Grammy nominated pair of sisters (descendants of Edgar Allen Poe) who play blues/rock/roots music. During the pandemic, they did a series of covers from their living room (no special effects). Seal himself saw the video and called them to say how much he loved and was impressed by their rendition.
