Probably somebody here has already mentioned this, but the band is called Foreigner because some of its members were American and others British, so no matter where they were, at least someone in the band was a foreigner there.
Fun fact: when Foreigner toured in 2019, they had a contest in every city they played in for high school choirs to compete to sing this song with the band on stage. It was fantastic.
I keep going around telling people this but I can’t believe all this all them songs are there’s , I know all the songs I just didn’t know they were off from them🔥
Underrated by who? I've always known him to have one of the greatest rock voices. By the way, Foreigner was both the first concert that I ever saw back in 1981, and the last one I was at a few years ago. Although I missed Lou Graham, it was still enjoyable.
He did a great job in productions of this music, and that's why he's not gonna run out of money in his life cause this song is gonna be in museum of Art
Yeah a great band .Over my shoulder and another cup of coffee .A Theme of regret in their song lyrics . Paul Carrack from this band Eyes of blue was a good one too .
"Love is kind. Love is patient. It does not boast, it is not jealous. It is not proud, it is not self-seeking, it is not rude. love is not selfish, it is not easily angered. It does not rejoice over the wrong but rejoices with the truth. Love always protects, it always trust. Love hopes, believes and bears all things. Love never fails and now these three remain. Faith, love and hope. Love will last forever." That is one of my favorite writings... :)
A lot of amazing vocalists from that era - from bands like Foreigner, Journey, Styx, ELO, Boston, Queen, and others because there was no social media or auto tune - to advertise and sell records you had to sing LIVE! If you couldn’t do it and do it well, you didn’t last
@@metetural9140 back then it much harder to be successful unless you could sing live. Today, much easier with auto tune, wide spread backing tracks, and social media exposing a less talented person to a big audience
Agree with Veteran of the Psychic Wars, but I was not familiar with the live one you mentioned. I'll have to look it up. I'd add Joan Crawford to the list. A sinister song with a sinister video... th-cam.com/video/YQBJfQhpw_U/w-d-xo.html
1984... good year in music! This song debuted at #1 on Billboard. Written by Mick Jones and Lou Gramm on vocals. Gramm experienced some health issues with a benign brain tumor. Affected his mobility and voice. Cruel how life takes your greatest gift when it’s at its best. Foreigner began in mid 70s. By the time I went to college, Foreigner was top band. Corporate rock was amazing! Foreigner Song list. Pick some! Promise you will ❤️ Blue Morning, Blue Day (1978) Cold As Ice (1977) Dirty White Boy (1979) Double Vision (1978) Feels Like The First Time (1977) Head Games (1979) Hot Blooded (1978) I Want to Know What Love Is (1984) Juke Box Hero (1981) Urgent (1981) Waiting For A Girl Like You (1981)
This song....the choir takes it over the edge! I get body chills & teary eyed. When you hear it as a teen it takes on different meaning when you get older. When you've experienced love& lost this song takes on a different vibe.
You absolutely nailed the meaning and feeling of this song, brilliant reaction. 37 years later, this song still reaches out and grabs me as much as it did then. Welcome to another rabbit hole!
I've been watching your music reactions for a couple of months now and I find myself going back and watching them over and over. I am 45 years old now but and I love to see the younger generation enjoying the music I grew up on. I still listen to all of them today. You are the best man!!!
Loved the first foreigner Album in 1977 and in 1978 bought the cassette and when I moved from Ct. to Fla. I would pop in the cassette and listen to it from beginning to end and do it all again. I made it one time on i95 to Tampa Fla in 20 hours. Never to be able to beat that time but the music kept me going.
Oh I love this song so much. It is beautifully made. Listen to it several times a week. The new Jersey Mass Choir was brought in to sing the backing vocals. By the way it was the first gospel choir on a #1 pop hit.
@@mikelasko8066 Yep. When Foreigner played at the Jackson County Fair here in Michigan a few years ago they had the choir from East Jackson High School join in when they played this song.
The music video causes the song to take on a new meaning, a different interpretation, one that speaks to people coming together from different walks of life and loving one another as fellow human beings!💙🤎🥲
1. There are lots of great Foreigner songs. 2. At about 250,000 subscribers you get so much "love" that you won't need anyone to tell you what love is.
I had the privilege and pleasure of seeing Foreigner perform this song live. ....August 28th. ...1985.....at The Allentown Fairgrounds. ...Allentown. ...Pennsylvania. ....Awesome concert.
Leo, they use kids choirs at their live shows with this song and it is frigging amazing to watch all the kids belt that chorus out. You can't go wrong with any of the Foreigner songs. Thank you, I so enjoyed this today and I so needed it too.
I've heard this song literally 1000 times and thought it was a love song. I just had the epiphany that this song is about trying to find God or a higher power 🤯! Thank you Mr Vid ✌
I absolutely love to watch and listen to Leo as he listens to our old songs, it almost always makes me rethink or listen to it differently. Funny how as teenagers we didn't "get it" but as older and wiser adults we can see it differently through someone else's eyes or heart. I appreciate you Leo. And Thank you.
@@benjamindenton Exactly. It has always cracked me up when they beep out words that do not even need beeping out, but then again, such were the times back then
It's an amazing song bruh and it's really a song about equality. I read somewhere that the band played this to their record owner when they finished it (a famous and tough guy) and he cried when he heard it. Then they knew it would be a banger
His real name Louis Andrew Grammatico, of Italian descent from Sicily (from both sides of his family tree). His last name is actually of Greek origin meaning "Learned" or "of Letters".
Someone already mentioned these Foreigner songs but I got to say again because we need more Foreigner "Waiting For A Girl Like You", "Cold As Ice", "Urgent", "Juke Box Hero", "Hot Blooded", "Feels Like The First Time"
Yes Yes Yes!!! Such a "big" moving ballad! The Choir-perfect. Mr. Video, Foreigner must have 20 great hits; URGENT, Headgames, Juke Box Hero, Waiting for a Girl Like You, Hot Blooded, you cannot go wrong reacting to ANY! They are great in concert!!!
I was waiting for those goosebumps, yeah this song is just so beautiful, I used to write the lyrics down over and over till I got the right ones, I am from an French speaking African country and my English was very little . It give goosebumps too to see you react to such a beautiful beautiful beautiful song 💕
Definitely "waiting for a girl like you" and make sure it's the original band. Same as here. The new one sucks. Lou(singer here) was SO amazing. That man can SING!! Reminds me of my mom so much... was her favorite band.
if not mistaken,, it was a local church choir and the band invited them to sing back up to this song and was the first time in history a church choir sang back up to a #1 hit song on the charts ever,,, indeed was awesome to mix the band and choir together,, was perfect
You would have been invited- you had your eyes closed-they passed out the lyrics on the bus, etc.. And the folks walked in, and started singing with him- yes, all back people- even deeper meaning than the surface-🤎🤍 Oh, and don’t get it twisted.. this is a fantastic ballad of theirs- but this band kicks ass- “Hot Blooded” ,”Feels like the first time.” For appetizers- This is one of those HUGE holes- you know 🐇 --BANGERS!🔥✌️
FYI: The song features backing vocals from the New Jersey Mass Choir affiliated with the Gospel Music Workshop of America, Dreamgirls star Jennifer Holliday, and featured keyboard work by Thompson Twins frontman Tom Bailey. It made the song what it is!
My daughters high school choir was honored to be chosen to sing the chorus during this song WITH Foreigner 5 yrs ago. During their concerts they give students the opportunity to be on stage. It was awesome!
The imagery of the white brother givin love to all those black brothers n sistas showing that Love is Universal and dont know COLOR is just BEAUTIFUL!!! THAT choir sounds wonderful! Ive always loved this video
Hello hello! SO glad that this song is now a part of your soul. One more amazing thing added to you!!! ; ) Please, as always, stay safe and healthy. -And the same wishes for your Family and Friends! Cheers
Simma down .they only contacted "brothers and sistas "with talent so naturally this excludes you but what a beautiful song that shows how people can get together and transcend anything
Finally! I'm so glad you finally got to experience this song. Gets me every time, especially when that choir comes in. So many great remakes too. A song for the ages ❤❤❤

Waiting for a girl like you -Foreigner
The whole Foreigner 4 album. Takes me back to Junior High.
Yas!
Reminds of my favorite General Hospital couple.
😊 🔥 yeah thats another beautiful one !
Love that song!!
Definitely a must hear.
A black choir could make PUNK sound graceful and light and fully!! Beautiful!!!
“Hot Blooded” and “Cold as Ice” two great Foreigner songs!!
Absolutely!
Double Vision, Juke Box Hero, Urgent.
Yeeeessss.....
Dont forget Head Games
Foreigner has so many awesome songs!
If you DON'T get chills when that chorus kicks in, there's something broken with your chillometer.
Facts
😂😂😂
Or shed a tear. 😢
Totally true😂😂😂
chillometer? 😂😂 Great...

This is a marathon worthy band! That’s how many hits they have that will blow your socks off! ✌️
Yes, another rabbit hole lol 😆
Absolutely
"I live all of my years in a single minute"
Absolutely agree!!!!
Juke box hero next!
“Anymore Foreigner I should tackle”?
Yes, all their songs.
I keep going around telling people this but I can’t believe all this all them songs are there’s , I know all the songs I just didn’t know they were off from them🔥
💯
Lou Gramm is one of the most underrated rock singers of all time.
Underrated by who? I've always known him to have one of the greatest rock voices. By the way, Foreigner was both the first concert that I ever saw back in 1981, and the last one I was at a few years ago. Although I missed Lou Graham, it was still enjoyable.
By the way it's Gramm not Graham
I meant the general public has no idea who Lou is. Meaning he is underappreciated as a musical talent.
@@HansGruberfan boy, you really made me feel stupid. Kudos to you.
No worries. I like the band too.
The bounce at 8:38 gets me everytime!!!!! The choir is the New Jersey Mass Choir.
Crowded House - Don’t Dream It’s Over.
YEAH And Fall at your Feet too !! 💓🔥
Oh caush yes do the one with lyrics it’s the better of them all
@@CA5124 one of my fav's
Something So Good
Better Be Home Soon
It's so beautiful.
That smile you gave at the start.. it’s funny how you just know that you’ll love a song when it grabs you right from the opening notes.
Shiiiit! 61 yr old still tearing up to this masterpiece. 😪
Same
Every damn time I hear it!
Glad I'm not the only one.
Same here I'm 42 and still get chills every time I hear this🥺💔
Foreigner, one of my all time fav bands. Gotta love'em.
Leo just fell down a rabbit 🕳hole!!
"Waiting For A Girl Like You" 🔥
"Cold As Ice"🔥 "Urgent"
"Juke Box Hero" "Hot Blooded"
"Feels Like The First Time"
A GREAT Rabbit Hole!!!!
I think he'd like Lou Gramm - Midnight Blue , also..........(who knows the connection )
Oh yes please do all of the above!
@@1971tallica and Blue Monday! But YES...Midnight Blue was amazing!
@@haslersa A rabbit hole that he’ll thoroughly enjoy!
He did a great job in productions of this music, and that's why he's not gonna run out of money in his life cause this song is gonna be in museum of Art
"The Living Years" _ Mike and the Mechanics also "All I Need is a Miracle" by same band.
In the living years is a must.
I love that band by Mike Rutherford
Yeah a great band .Over my shoulder and another cup of coffee .A Theme of regret in their song lyrics . Paul Carrack from this band Eyes of blue was a good one too .
Great Songs!
Oh my God. But is a tear jearker.
"Waiting for a girl like you" is the best. This is a close second.
Yes the studio version with the video first. The most BEAUTIFUL love song
"Feels Like the First Time" and "Cold as Ice" from their eponymous debut album (1977).
“Cold as Ice” is a banger!! One of my favs!
The 70s WERE FANTASTIC ,, FOR THE FIRST TIME was a HUGE BANGER
"Love is kind. Love is patient. It does not boast, it is not jealous. It is not proud, it is not self-seeking, it is not rude. love is not selfish, it is not easily angered. It does not rejoice over the wrong but rejoices with the truth. Love always protects, it always trust. Love hopes, believes and bears all things. Love never fails and now these three remain. Faith, love and hope. Love will last forever." That is one of my favorite writings... :)
Foreigner Urgent
You should listen to Whitesnake “here I go again”
And Whitesnake Still of the Night!
Is he ready for Tawny Kitaen though lol

Yes and the song Burnin for You
I've asked for this a few times🤞

You said it
Yes 😞
I was waiting to see your reaction when the legendary Lou Gramm belts out that incredible high note at the end of the song.
"Bring the whole damn choir" lol
They're The New Jersey Mass Choir, and they released their own recording of this song.

indeed
Foreigner: The greatest fusion of American/British musicians. Wonderful group...
Fleetwood Mac would be if they all didn't fucking hate each other lol
I’m 60 .. my 🎼 era ... still Goosebumps !! Love ❤️ your reactions !!!
No racism .. it’s all a lie !!!!!!!
Another childhood roller rink slow song .
I remember a lot of kisses and more.... to this song
This song is amazing and it gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it

INXS "need you tonight"
Don Henley "boys of summer"
Teddy Pendergrass "Joy"
Mr Mister "broken wings"

White Lion, "When the Children Cry" & "Wait"! Iconic 80's songs.
I'd go so far as to say, this is a top ten rock ballad. Mine anyway.
Always on my cleaning playlist 🤦♀️😂😂😂

One of their greatest songs- with the New Jersey Mass Choir.
at every concert they would bring in a local choir for this song, nice gesture to the community
@@mikelasko8066 Yep. When Foreigner played at the Jackson County Fair here in Michigan a few years ago they had the choir from East Jackson High School join in when they played this song.
Foreigner was one of the many Bicentennial bands that made 1976 very special!
The music video causes the song to take on a new meaning, a different interpretation, one that speaks to people coming together from different walks of life and loving one another as fellow human beings!💙🤎🥲
Listen to Is this Love by Whitesnake you won't be disappointed.
I love that song, and I was thinking the same thing.
@Ok then....best thing about Whitesnake: David Coverdales' voice. He paired really well on his collaboration with Jimmy Page
My husband's favourite band
Love Whitesnake
Love ain't no stranger.....is a banger!!!
1. There are lots of great Foreigner songs.
2. At about 250,000 subscribers you get so much "love" that you won't need anyone to tell you what love is.
I heard this song a hundred times, I still get the chills man , love is hard, but beautiful when you find it . PEACE
I had the privilege and pleasure of seeing Foreigner perform this song live. ....August 28th. ...1985.....at The Allentown Fairgrounds. ...Allentown. ...Pennsylvania. ....Awesome concert.
Foreigner! Personal favorite! DO MORE!!!!
I saw this tour. They brought out a local high school choir to assist on the song. One of the greatest things ever.
Great song choice!!!
Listen, this is a beautiful song and foreigner is an amazing band! I feel they are very underrated
Oh hell yes!! 🔥🎵✌😍
Back in the 80s music brought everyone together. We need it again. EVERYBODY felt this song!!!
Leo, they use kids choirs at their live shows with this song and it is frigging amazing to watch all the kids belt that chorus out.
You can't go wrong with any of the Foreigner songs. Thank you, I so enjoyed this today and I so needed it too.
I used to work out at a predominately male gym. When this song came on the radio, everyone stopped in their tracks. A powerful song.
I've heard this song literally 1000 times and thought it was a love song. I just had the epiphany that this song is about trying to find God or a higher power 🤯! Thank you Mr Vid ✌

I think it’s reference about love in general.
Can’t ever go wrong with Foreigner! My band!!!
Since you like to dance, you should check out The Humpty Dance by Digital Underground. Tupac was with them in the early days.
I remember roller skating to that song...the good old days!
