Shoutout to the random guy at the airport 10+ years ago..who asked me for my name..and then proceeded to say…”what a good wife you would be.” Without that silly gesture..I might have missed out on one of the greatest songs to bestow my inner ears. Here’s to you! 🍻
Anyone doing that these day would be called a creep 😂
Thought u were going to say you gave that guy a chance and married him!❤😂
Great story
All the best 1:52
Man, where is stuff like this today? Good grief! I want a time machine!
I'm pretty sure music still exists dude
Oh to be young and clueless
You’re telling me 😂
I want to go back ! Anybody want to come with me ?
I was 11 years old when this song came out. And now, there's finally a video for it. Perfect execution too. I shed a tear.
How nice to hear
We be 56 & 60, you have to love poor Brandy. A super classic.
Right, same thing with Elton John and Rocket Man and Bennie and the Jets and Tiny Dancer
Same
1971 ???
Love this unique, timeless classic.
To all the Brandys of this world~
May you be Found by Sage Captains
Who Realize You Are Their Sea.
And may your sailors not put tumors in your heads.
I love this. Put a smile on my face. 😘
Yes thank you
Damn that's smooth
I'm a bagpipe maker and a sailor. This song is made from everything I'm made from. It's timeless as measured in centuries. You have to know sailors, sailing, the sea, and peoples of the world who sing their stories in musical scales of only 5 notes like "Brandy" to realize how timeless. This song wasn't invented--it was discovered. Best wishes and thanks to author, the band and those who brought it to us.
A+ on everything. I never heard the bass so clear, and the instruments so rich in the mix.
I was just thinking this.
Me too. Sounds like a remix
But the locket is gold in the video!!
This is the 45" mix which was different from the radio and album mixes.
This mix sounds way better then the other ones on here
Thank you, Starlord! 😂
Why
@@cullenbeeson2420 he introduced the song to people
@@veomf6259 bro what. He did not
@@cwestlake1745 just for like people who have never heard the song until they watched the movie they would've heard it from his film
@@veomf6259 Oh ok i thought u meant he made it popular
Guardians of the galaxy 2 is my 6 years old daughter's favorite movie, i love seeing her sing this song
Great taste of music and movie
A classic. Old but good. Also Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and James Gunn picked a great song!
I watch both of the Guardians of the Galaxy all the time great movies great music
It should be noticed that he basically used this song as the plot for the movie. This song carries a legacy.
My mother and daddy got my name from in 78 ❤
Funny i graduated in 78...and i just bet you are as beautiful as this song and name...not hitting on you...just saying..
This is exactly how I imagine the song anyways
Right, one of those songs that dont need a music video. The story plays out in your head like a video
Same
Haha so true.
@@gustavrosenberg9624 exactly bro
What's it? Exactly how?
Musical and emotional perfection. A song many will sing 200 years from now in bars of ports of call… it feels so real. It is like a story my grandfather told of old… of the One he let slip away….
What fascinates me about Brandy's story is how perfectly it illustrates how sometimes we're attracted to those who are emotionally unavailable. Brandy could probably have any sailor in her town, but she isn't interested in any of them even though they imply that they would leave their jobs and stay in order to be with her. Instead she fell for a man who immediately made clear that he won't settle with her, that he will prioritise his life at sea over his relationship with her. In a town full of options, she goes for the emotionally unavailable man. Why? Unresolved issues, fear of intimacy, self-sabotage, low self-esteem?
I feel low-key called out. Brandy homegirl, we prolly need some therapy.
It's a Romantic Story. No therapy needed...
@@genem3681 nah, she needs therapy.
It's just a story in a song, not real.
@@robin-kq7un Hey, I've been there, a few times, loving men who are unavailiable!
This is a great song. Takes me back to my childhood in the early 1970's. Always loved it on the radio. So evocative of those times. I would love to go back to those days I tell you.
Same here. I know how you feel. Nothing can replace the 70s.
70s were my era too... We had great times and great music!!
"My life, my love, my lady is the sea"
Peter... this is the sea.
@@mick9156 guardians.. haha
I was named after this song in 74. My dad was a sailor. True story!
Would be cool if you became a sailor and wrote a parody to this song.
I was also named after this song but my dad wasn’t a sailor. He didn’t even have a sailor’s tattoo. Although, he is cremated and apparently they dump the ashes in the sea, so I’m pretty sure he’s on the ocean floor or a speck of ash in a fishes eyeball or something down there. So he’s still not a sailor but he’s with the best of ‘em. (I LOVE my dad. He was autistic and loved music so much. That’s why he said he named me after this song in 75.) True story!
Yea I'm definitely not a sailor, but I played the same sax he had aboard ship. in school for 6 years. He was in some bands with it. So that's a pretty cool memory. I should really get it re padded and tuned up. Be fun to play it again.
My daughter's name is Brandy also. I've always loved this song. It wasn't the reason I named her that though.😊
Awesome 🙂
LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
There's a port on a western bay
And it serves a hundred ships a day
Lonely sailors pass the time away
And talk about their homes
[Verse 2]
And there's a girl in this harbor town
And she works layin' whiskey down
They say "Brandy, fetch another round"
She serves them whiskey and wine
[Chorus 1]
The sailors say, "Brandy, you're a fine girl
(You're a fine girl)
What a good wife you would be
(Such a fine girl)
Yeah, your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea"
[Verse 3]
Brandy wears a braided chain
Made of finest silver from the north of Spain
A locket that bears the name
Of a man that Brandy loved
[Verse 4]
He came on a summer's day
Bringing gifts from far away
But he made it clear he couldn't stay
No harbor was his home
[Chorus 2]
The sailor said, "Brandy, you're a fine girl
(You're a fine girl)
What a good wife you would be
(Such a fine girl)
But my life, my love and my lady is the sea"
[Bridge]
Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes
When he told his sailor's story
She could feel the ocean fall and rise
She saw its raging glory
But he had always told the truth
Lord, he was an honest man
And Brandy does her best to understand
[Verse 5]
At night when the bars close down
Brandy walks through a silent town
And loves a man who's not around
She still can hear him say
[Outro]
She hears him say, "Brandy, you're a fine girl
(You're a fine girl)
What a good wife you would be
(Such a fine girl)
But my life, my love and my lady is the sea
It is, yes, it is"
"Brandy, you're a fine girl
(You're a fine girl)
What a good wife you would be
(Such a fine girl)
But my life, my love and my lady is the sea
It is, it is, yes, it is"
Thanks Niklas for posting the lyrics
Loved reading through the comments. So refreshing to see so many like-minded souls appreciating this timeless classic. I think it resonates differently for each of us but, most of us end up at the same place. At 59 years old now, I have, so many times, played out my own video in my mind as I listened to this entrancing song. Just as many others, I could see Brandy serving the whiskey & wine to the lonely sailors. Not only that, I could emagine all the come-ons and advances she must have endured. I could picture the beautiful chain with the locket from her lover. The chorus kicks in and, I can relate to the pain of being in love with someone who is not there. "My" mental picture of Brandy is a slim brunette with a simple beauty that needs no makeup and (of course) the most beautiful eyes that leave you breathless. I can feel what she is feeling, as she walks through her silent town, her heart yearning for her love that is not around. A hugh shout out to all those involved in the creation of a very good video to help us enjoy this classic masterpiece.
“Brandy” was the first girl I met when I moved to Baltimore “a western port”….. put a ring on it.
You are so right ✅️
Kudos for your imagery and thoughtfulness.
You are a romantic! How lovely your vision was. I'm 60 and damn if this song doesn't take me back to the best days.
I always pictured her a blonde but I like the idea of a brunette. I used to tend bar and loved it when someone would play "Brandy" on the jukebox. My name's not Brandy and I didn't serve sailors, but I did served the lonely-the military, the hardworking man, the office worker. They all had a story to tell and just needed someone to listen. I think there's a little Brandy in all of us lady bartenders. Thanks for your cool comment.
Cheers!
I LOVE this!! I always envisioned this song as taking place in the era of tall ships and pirates, likely in Bristol or on the Cornish coast. So romantic.
"One day, in this harbor town, the tavern’s landlord and his wife found a baby girl left on their doorstep, whom they raised as their own. She had beautiful hair the color of the finest brandy, so that’s what they called her."
I always thought of a cold new England port in the 1970's. This is better somehow
Both can work
I was thinking 1930s irish with a couple islands around big fishing area couple ships in harbor quiet misty
One of Earth's greatest musical compositions, if not the greatest.
I understood that reference 👉
He came on a summer’s day, bringing gifts from far away. Like the child I gave your mother, or the freedom you gave Gamora.
Roll over Beethoven.
Yeah brandy used to watch his eyes as he told his sailors story, she could feel the ocean fall and rise, she saw its raging glory.
And idk what that means
This one of my top 10 favorite songs of all time by far.
Number 1 for me personally
@@cullenbeeson2420 really?
Yup😊
In My top 5 too
Me too
Such a fine Animation. I will come back after 50 Years to listen to this song.
This is EXACTLY what i imagine everytime listening to this song !!
They nailed it !!
i usually imagine the guardians of the galaxy movies when listening to this
@@lachlanfarthing4009SAME
Especially the “yah brandy used to watch his eyes” part, literally exactly how I imagine it every time
Those bands were comprised of musicians, poets, songwriters, singers...not corporate made bands using machines to thump out a beat. Growing up in the 70s & early 80s...the joy of feeling real music flow thru your soul,,,
Yess still loving, in 2024. Wish the music of today was that good
My compliments to the animators! This is in such a beautiful style. I love the various colors used here. What app did you use?
Gene Takovick sung this with gusto.
Can’t believe i was JUST shown this song the other day and now they come out with a music video, awesome
Same!(:
its so awesome
That is really cute. Beautiful graphics of the boat upon the sea (the ship), etc. We all love that song forever! 💜 Animation by Javi Vaquero per info box.
I ALWAYS knew Brandy was a red-head, and this video just proved it for me. However, I wish someone knew (for sure) what the name is of THAT port/harbor town on the western bay? And, what was the name of the sailor, who was an honest man, on Brandy's locket? just curious....
Reminds me of the West Coast, Long Beach, CA. in 1972. Just getting out of the Navy. Love this tune.
Reminds me of Will Turner and Elizabeth from Pirates.
Fantastic job animating this classic! 👏🏻 👏🏻 One quibble, though-shouldn’t the locket and chain be silver and not gold? “Brandy wears a braided chain made of finest silver from the north of Spain.”
I noticed that too, but I wonder if it would have messed with the overall color “palette” (for lack of better graphic design lingo).
it might be guilded i guess. though i think it would have messed with the aesthtic. all the colours are somewhat close together and muted, while being warm, even in the night and sea scenes. i think its a fair enough design choice
Missouri, earth, 1980
If you know the movie you know what I’m talking about
Omaha, Nebraska, 2010
This song really fit the entire story of Guardians 2 so well. James Gunn has an innate gift for picking exactly the right music for whatever project be it Guardians, Suicide Squad or Peacemaker.
the moment the happy song starts and you see Starlord parents it breaks the heart, it truly reveals that his father simply did not care about her and just needed a son.
I had my fingers crossed when I realized there was an official video for this song. The animation fits so well. It has an old style similar to the Beatles Yellow Submarine. This has to be one of the greatest songs ever.
Just as good as when I first heard it
Exactly 💯 💯 💯
I sung this song at a karaoke bar.
Wow this song is 50 years old now. And still great! This is the best audio mix I've heard to date!
This is the 45" version
I remember hearing this song when I was a kid and fell in love with it. I've loved it ever since.
I could watch this over and over and over again! I’ve always LOVED this song but somehow missed the video and it just drives home the phenomenal story of the song!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
One word to describe this song -- SUPERB! I love this song! 🤗🎶🎶🎶❣️ Thank you!
Missouri, 1980...
LMAO I can never listen to this song without thinking about that scene
EARTH
Yes but it's on earth
Better Call Saul brought me here 😄
i love this, but the fact that it says silver chain and its a gold one, makes my ocd wilddd
It could’ve been painted?
@@JJStockman i know but it makes more sense
@@BG-jy6rx oh I agree, but still I suppose it just looks nicer
Silver looks golden by candle light… it bothered me a tiny bit until I thought about it.
Somebody should make a "Brandy" song video with real people at a port of call with good looking women, ships captain, bar and ships.
I'd love that!
Looking Glass was the main act at the senior prom of Paul D. Schreiber High School in Port Washington NY in June of 1976, playing their biggest hit song Brandy, which was a #1 hit a few years earlier, more than once.
Wow, I never knew that!
I went to the Great Neck North Senior prom in 1977. We're a stones throw from Port Washington. I never knew Looking Glass played there.
1:05 mhmm, "the finest silver", you say. Yep, *nothing wrong with that visual.*
Lmfao
Gold looks so much better than silver, right
I was looking to see if anyone else had noticed before I mentioned it lol
Love it, this is another song from my youth that instantly takes me back those days.
Star lord mums is the biggest fans of Cap. America. Ask for a sign of authograph.
You Better Call Saul
In 2024, it’s still one of the best songs in the world!
This is lovely - my only critique is that the locket shown is golden not silver as per the song
Guardians of the galaxy vol 2 bought me here!
Pearson from rdr2 brought me here lol seems like I’m the only one
Yes...such great songs back then!! In the 70s we had massive hits!! Just another one the list!! What a time it was!!!
Missouri
Earth
1980
The perfect pop song, and a dreamy visual perfect for the story it tells.
perfect !
This is one of the number 1 greatest songs. Amen for the times
My all time favorite song !!!
mine too ! And, I am not a fan of covers but Big Head Todd does an excellent cover.
I’ve been waiting for this
For 50 years?
@@nrggvrn5576 About 48 1/2 for most of us
50 years?!?!?! Time flies
Still jamming to this in 2024
Cool video. Glad this song got a second life.
Awe!! I enjoyed this so much!! Great job😊
Saul!
The early '70's were a bittersweet time for me personally, my brother passing of cancer at 12 y.o., and a lot was happening publicly, Vietnam War, Space travel, Nixon, gas prices...I somehow go back to this time and it all comes back when I hear this song - this song was the "sweet" part of bittersweet. Thank goodness we have music! :) Chin up, everyone, life goes on and we are so fortunate to be in the USA with the beautiful self-expression and talent we are blessed with!
I was in Asia and this song was a remembrance of a girl back home.

It doesn’t sound like much, until you home sick. Then it means the world to you.
Thank you for the lyrics. I thought that I knew them. Turns out I have been singing some wrong.
My favorite song because, my mom always played it over the speaker on our summer beach vacations because she love it. Imagine my shock when I watched GOTG2 with my mom & it was integral to the plot.
Not only was the video well deserved and great- this audio sounds INCREDIBLE!
Such a great song, love the music video just curious why silver was made to look gold in it >_
“You shouldn’t have killed my mom and squished my Walkman!”
At night when the bars close down
Brandy walks through a silent town
And loves a man who's not around
As poignant and sad an image as has ever been painted in the lyrics of any song.
My best friend named her daughter brandy because of this song
Can't get enough of this beautifull song!❤
I fell in love with a girl about the time this song hit the airwaves and always saw her as the "Brandy" character. Sadly it wasn't to be--or was it? We recently reconnected after being apart for fifty years and found that we really were right for each other after all!!
Good job!
This animation gives me LIFE
As a younger musician, and songwriter this is one of those songs that is just the very peak of the summit, of the highest mountain. As a Rhythm guy (born bass player) the groove in this song is just so incredibly powerful. The low end of these guys knit a perfect pocket. I can’t even imagine attempting to keep that tempo, with that many notes in perfect time on tape. You only get one shot, and god damn I’m surprised that recording console didn’t catch fire.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)
Starlord's mother is the most beautiful musical taste woman ever. 💓💓💓
I have worked on cruise ships for 24 years and have worked my way up to Hotel General Manager. In our port stops crew sometimes meet local girls and of course we have to disembark that day. Although we do the same run for a few months usually so we stop at the same ports.
Met a few over the years but met a Venezuelan crew member, and that was that. A woman is like the sea. Fabulous on a calm summer day or hell in a raging storm. Never underestimate the call of the sea.
I remember this song during my high school days in Adamson University, Philippines back in 1970's.
It brings back the good old days.

Reminds me of a very Special Girl that got away. ♥️
“Brandy” is now buried behind my local movie theatre in NJ. Crazy story and beautifully written into song. 👏
Awesome song.. TIMELESS 👍
As time goes by memories stay ,this song was played at my wedding in Mexico lol😊❤

This song always makes me tear up. He loved her, she loved him, but he loved the sea just a little bit more and no one fits the bill like this man so she spends her life alone.
I love this video ❤ thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This song came out when I was 10 and I thought the chorus said "what a worthwhile human being"
Thank you, guardians of the galaxy!
Exactly as I imagined the song when I heard it a few months ago. I really like this song. Thank you
