This is exactly what i was thinking, it fit SO PERFECTLY with this movie! I can see Batman and Robin running listening to it…i think poison ivy being a part splices some storyline together well with the music too
As a vocalist I'm just relieved to hear him say it wasn't all first takes 😂 The quality of his voice is awesome to me. Listen to the vocal layers on Future Love Paradise, and how he expresses the different elements. It's dynamite. *He's* dynamite.
I was at Seal's concert one month ago for the very first time in my life. I was so shocked because his voice is so much more beautiful and clear irl that I started crying because of how moved I was. I was also overwhelmed because the subway was trying to do everything it could to stop me from going to the concert and I had to run for so long in heels and still arrived 45 minutes late but I arrived right when Seal was going on stage. I was so relieved, you can't imagine. 😅
@@KasumiRINAHeath Ledger is the only reason The Dark Knight is memorable. That movie would be completely forgettable if it wasn't for his Joker. What else do we remember from that movie? The Batman voice that sounds like Homer Simpson as The Horse Whisperer "When the bell rings, I want you to run really, really fast!"
Batman Forever came out in 1995, I was 6, and I was super into Batman, U2 and Seal. The U2 song was Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me. For the 6 year old me, this movie was AWESOME. Especially the end credits, and the Batman/Kiss From a Rose music video. I just re watched the end credits on TH-cam and man, does it give me so many nostalgic feelings. I remember my brother and I both sporting Batman T-Shirts, we wore them everywhere. Also, Seal's voice is still so so good all these years later, and he seems like such a sweet genuine man!
That particular year in my life was one of my favorites because of those things you mentioned. I was 14 years old and in the summer of 95, I was belting out Seal's song all the time.
It's really a well crafted tune indeed, like a mix of musical cultures in a pop tune, with more soul than any pop tune. The chords proggressions on it's several parts are like a full song on each one off them, making a giant song.
One of the most creative songs ever written. Singing a major 7th over a major chord where the major 7th isn't in the orchestration so his vocal becomes part of the orchestration.
I got to meet Seal back stage at Pine Knob Music Theater in Michigan in 1994. You were the most gracious artists I’ve ever met. Thank you for the years of beautiful music.
Reminds me of riding in my dad's station wagon when I was little. When this song came on, we would just hear it the whole way through and not say a word. I felt so safe and comfortable. My dad was such a good person. He knew how to explain things so that I understood them. He knew how to make me laugh, and he knew how to keep me out of trouble. He loved me to the fullest extent a father can love a son. I miss him very much.
To everyone under 30 you may have no idea how huge this song was to us back then. No social media but EVERYONE of every race was playing this. It was on commercials and all kinds of media. In todays world it would have easily had Taylor swift type streams
His voice is as smooth and incredible as it was in 1995. He was in front of me in London Heathrow airport security and was the nicest musician I have ever met. Love Seal!
A few key points: 1. While Seal is explaining the songs elements (the style, arrangement, time signature, etc) you can see his passion about it. This makes me realize as an artist you are all in and it’s beautiful. 2. Some songs are made for one purpose and that song fit the tone of the movie so perfectly that it’s undeniable. The movie wouldn’t have done as well without the video and the song wouldn’t have done as well without the song. I remember people only went to see the movie because the video and song made it look epic.
I always consider this song timeless. Seal really made a captivating melody that would make any age stop and listen. The lyrics and composition are just perfect.
I bloody fell in love with this song as a literal child. It's got a fantastical, gothic feel. It's *so* English to me. So full of Tudor polyphony that it sounds like it belongs alongside Scarborough Fair and Fields of Gold... folky yet more elegant than that. Like Victorians imagining themselves in the court of Elizabeth I. Stunning. Just 🥰
Seal is one of those artists that you remember exactly where you were when you heard one of his songs for the first time, and a whole host of other memories of that time, come flooding back to you.
My friend's mom was the coolest person ever. She had bands from the area over in her basement, she always had the best and freshest music before you heard it on the radio. My memory of this song is looking at the CD cover for Seal 2 and watching her singing while spinning through her house. It felt like it was all over the radio that next year. Patty is still the coolest mom I ever met.
First time hearing Seal in an interview and he came across as being very personable and warm like a friend you could talk to for hours. Great interview. sub.
He makes a great point. You can’t do music that others can feel without giving some of yourself to it. It becomes popular because people can feel your passion in it. Kiss From A Rose is a perfect illustration of that. Seal is a special artist in so many ways. Trevor Horn again proved his sight beyond sight by giving him total resources to express his music.
Kiss from a rose is a masterpiece! Much love from yet another old metal head guitarist. The harmonies, the words... ❤... it's a song in a class of its own. Thank you
What a fantastic interview! Something about when music people are hanging out and having fun telling stories about the past. SEAL is a one of a kind person but so very relatable and warm. A joy to hang out with the both of you, Mason!
Wonderful stuff, Mason. Firstly, thanks for posting these clips as I don't always have time for the full interviews. Secondly, Seal's voice remains as good as the day he arrived in the public's conscience. A voice of whisky and cigars with just a dash of heaven. What a lovely, humble, guy. I'm going to plead with you once again; please, please, please, get George Benson on your channel.
I was mesmerized for months listening to this over and over. Such a beautiful song! I ran to Sound Warehouse in Dallas and searched all around for who sang this song. I remember looking all over until I found it.
It is good to hear him singing so well after all these years. I'd say that the song clicked for me because it contains so many "Sealisms." It is his voice and the way it is presented. He has a very interesting and appealing singing voice. That "bay-baya!" is an example. That grabs my attention. He also does this sort of cut left/right/left /right with his vocals. In the song there is a sort of spilling out of tones that trickle down the scale in perfect pitch like a gentle stream and he did not use Autotune. The harmonies are pitch perfect. There is much much more to enjoy than the melody, there's more than one melody. It has elements that would not be expected to work as a whole but somehow do. He could have taken parts and made several different songs out of this one.
I met Seals Guitar player back around 2003 he was visiting his parents at Lilac Court retirement home in a Town Called Slough , My Grandparents were friends with his parents and introduced me to him , I play guitar too and was star struck as the guy TJ his name was had all gold rings on and looked like Jimi Hendrix , He had a guitar in his car and proceeded to play awesome music , Anyway this is an excellent performance by Seal , hes still got that voice amazing man.
Slough?...that's the place that has Europe's biggest trading estate, right? I hear it's close to Windsor but the properties less?...if that's true, it definitely sounds like my kind of town!
I’m so glad you’re alive. I’m getting bored and I’m gonna find another video. Whatever happened to see well apparently he’s still alive. I’m glad to hear it.
One of the best constructed songs ever! Awesome. Seal is so laid back and cool. I hope he is like this in his real life cause he seems like a blast to be around. And he is so modest about how great this song is!
I havent seen one comment about Seals guitar playing. Hes clearly left handed playing a regular guitar flipped, while using chords. Imagine learning guitar basically upside down. Then to play it while singing with a voice like that?! Some talent is so insanely rare. 3:50
Jimmi Hendrix was right handed and he played guitar flipped. Toni Iomi from Black Sabbath as well. I play rock band and I’m right handed and I play with the guitar flipped as well.
@@ghostraven3749 maybe not as rare as I had thought. I did know about a few of those guys. Toni Iomi has like half a finger doesn't he, or am I thinking of someone else? Yet I still find it impressive. I'm right handed and I've been noodling for 20+ years. Not great by no means. But knowledgeable enough to be impressed by the extra effort that would go into this. I'm not even good enough to sing while playing. I guess it would be easier to learn upside down than to find and buy left handed guitars tho. I just can't imagine learning chords and everything else all backwards. Kudos to you sir.
The song took me completely by surprise. I was not a movie watching person and was just blown away that a song that well performed, arranged and produced would be on the radio. It sounded so much better musically/ harmonically than what was on the radio at the time. I think I may have pulled my car over to finish listening to it. It IS that good. Doesn’t matter how good a guitar player you are Seal, you are a GREAT MUSICIAN! You can’t say that about all singers. Also, killer job on this Mason! I would have been too nervous and would have hit a clam somewhere along the way. Well done by both of you!
I loved watching this. Never gone out of my way to watch an interview with Seal before but this was great storytelling. Man, what a song… channelled from pure genius.
Imagine being so cool that you have Seal as a fan 🤯 iconic song timeless song. Everyone has an emotion attached to that song no matter what’s jazz you got going on
I first heard this song when i was 5 years old, from the grammy CD that came out after he won (1995?), and now I am 35 and i still love this song. Thank you Seal for a beautiful track, it has stayed in my heart all my life ❤
Cant believe how perfect it was for this song to come out with the most underrated batman of all time. So perfect.. dark yet still beautiful, also you cant beat the time of late 90s.

Where is the Sean Hurley interview?
Does he explain the meaning of the song lyrics in this edit or the full video?
I want to hear kiss from the rose demo 🙂
@@hugothepoetnot really.
Can you make this version of Kiss from a Rose available on Spotify, or maybe a youtube video with just the song alone?
Everytime I hear this classic, it reminds me of how awesome it was to be a kid in the 90s. Gives me chills.
Same! 90s was the greatest decade
90's were the golden age of humanity. I still hold some small hope we may surpass it someday.
Same here Bro and I'm in South Africa, that's how far the impact of the song went and promoting the movie.
@siyagee1000 Well, I've been on the outskirts of Capetown my whole life, so I feel you
Same
If you're riding in a car and this song comes on, it's customary to belt out that first "baby."
facts
No.
Mandatory. Especially if you’re my age range . I’m 39
Any time Seal comes on I have to turn it up
Yeeeaahhhhh!!!! So true!!!
Fuck.... Seal still has it. Amazing voice.
😂😂😂😂
His voice is as true as his words~
I miss the days when, as a rock and metal guy, I could hear a pop song, and say that is Really Good! That song is a masterpiece!
What would you think about a collaboration with Sleep Token?
Being into metal as a teen I always wanted to hear a metal rendition of it. Still do. Being in 6/8 it’s kind of prime for it honestly. Someone like Opeth.
Your a Metal and sometimes pop head lol
That's because their used to be variety in pop. So a way larger pool of artists so you had to be good.
Check out Willow’s last album. She’s super talented
Kiss from a Rose is one of the best songs ever written. A truly unique timeless song.
th-cam.com/video/1RNGAV7FJ0o/w-d-xo.html
does it sound like kiss from a rose?
@@arjenvk1sorta
look into my eyes was better
the lyrics are really bad though
Facts!!!
This song fit *Batman Forever* so well that you can't really explain it in words. It's more of a feeling.
One of the best batmans he was like a perfect fit, serious but can be fun when it needs to be
It saved the film. This song was the star.
@CalciumHatwrong movie. You're thinking of Batman and Robin
It’s powerful and Batman is a very powerful force
This is exactly what i was thinking, it fit SO PERFECTLY with this movie! I can see Batman and Robin running listening to it…i think poison ivy being a part splices some storyline together well with the music too
His voice is sublime.
As a vocalist I'm just relieved to hear him say it wasn't all first takes 😂
The quality of his voice is awesome to me.
Listen to the vocal layers on Future Love Paradise, and how he expresses the different elements.
It's dynamite.
*He's* dynamite.

The word,” sublime” was invented specifically to describe this song!
I get a medieval vibe every time I hear this song. So beautiful.
Yes. Like Sting often wrote.
I think it takes inspiration by "stairway to heaven", that takes inspiration by medieval songs
It actually is a medieval style
Troubadours, with their courtly love songs, in the late Middle Ages.
@@daniellamcgee4251 wow, thanks for the reference! I would not have known that there was a specific name to this music if you hadn’t shared. 😎🫡🎶
This song in the background while hearing " BATMAN FOREVER NOW IN THEATERS ", was a great memory of my childhood
Same. ❤
Ok now I'm gonna go look for that trailer while drinking out glass McDonald's mug with Robin on it.
@@rockymvvrcianu6846damnnnn no you didn’t lol ma guy
🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽yesss!!
Same!
30 years later and he still sounds amazing. Nice job, Mason!
This song was the only thing that came out of batman forever that people remember.
I still listen to this song.
Jim Carrey as Riddler sometimes gets referenced but yeah, it was the least memorable Batman film until Dark Knight Returns.
There's also " kiss me kill me..."
@amitprasad7113 I was just gonna comment the same! Also the Weird Al parody about going to the dentist "Numb me, drill me, floss me, bill me" 😂

The whole soundtrack was killer. PJ Harvey, Nick Cave, Massive Attack, Flaming Lips, Mazzy Star, Michael Hutchence...
Not only he sounds as good as on studio recording, he even sounds better live. What an artist. One of a kind.
I was at his concert 1 month ago and I can confirm that his voice is 1000 times better live ! He's such a gem.

Ugh I miss the 90s. Things were soooooo simpler
I was 8 & loved both the movie & music video. It's played a lot on local programing
This song and Bryan Adam's 'Everything I Do' were my movie soundtrack adolescent anthems 😂
🎯🎯🎯💯✨
Til this day I've never heard any song like Kiss From a Rose. It was just phenomenal and so mysterious. Seal broke the mold with that one.
I think coz it sounds bery medievel, which doesnt describe many songs
It's really a well crafted tune indeed, like a mix of musical cultures in a pop tune, with more soul than any pop tune. The chords proggressions on it's several parts are like a full song on each one off them, making a giant song.
Iris - Goo Goo Dolls

That's the word! There's something mysterious about it.

I have no idea what that means, but I wish I did
@@trapez77don't gotta be so jealous
Didn't Rick say he plays a same note major then minor in succession. "Did you know -major, that when it's snows- minor?
You just went full Beato there Bro. 😀👍
I understand what that means but it's something I'd never figure out. It probably accounts for what makes the song so uniquely beautiful.
Seeing mason play this lead made me smile and today hasnt been good. Thanks man
Glad to hear it
Hope you're good now bro
Damn homie, hope whatever you were dealing with is better by now
What a voice! At 60+, still going strong.. just amazing. Here's a guy who definitely does not need autotune!
I got to meet Seal back stage at Pine Knob Music Theater in Michigan in 1994. You were the most gracious artists I’ve ever met. Thank you for the years of beautiful music.
His voice remarkably remains stage-ready even at this age. Soothing.

May he be in light.
I have almost identical memories. Cherish every one my friend. May they be always bright and your love for them never fade.
Damn. I hope my little girl speaks of me someday the way you speak of your father.
@@thejman-- Was just thinking the same about my two boys - what a beautiful legacy to leave.

Every race, every social class, urban London or rural South Africa...this was the anthem.
Only thing I remember from that Batman movie. The song was a moment in time
Let's just calm down before the gen-x jerk-a-thon orgy. It's called MTV. We didn't do anything but sit back and watch like good consumers.
@@Scream250Mexicans say, "Meh "

Also this song was better than the Batman Forever movie lol , The song is the only reason why i watched the movie and it saved it.
😂 right, so true…
@@dave_d_i_a_l LOL yeah how can a movie be so awful with somany great actors ?
I love forever. Such a 66s batman vibe.
I also liked the song by U2 “Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me?” I think that’s the name of it
@@michaelcohen7343 Ah I remember that one thanks for the flashback to a better era 👍 that was a good tune
I always consider this song timeless. Seal really made a captivating melody that would make any age stop and listen. The lyrics and composition are just perfect.
Mason, PLEASE ask him to put out that demo track, I'm sure the world would love to hear it.
I think it might be on TH-cam as an audio file only.
This song is pure poetry. Fantastic unplugged version
I bloody fell in love with this song as a literal child. It's got a fantastical, gothic feel. It's *so* English to me.

Seal is one of those artists that you remember exactly where you were when you heard one of his songs for the first time, and a whole host of other memories of that time, come flooding back to you.
First time I heard this I was standing in my parents room…. Some music award show was on… he was performing… I was hooked.
💯
Kiss from a Rose and IRIS are two of the most beautiful song's on the 90's.
Everything I do- Bryan Adams
From two great movies, along with Bittersweet Symphony
Also Tonic “if you could only see”
I'm really only into hard rock and metal but this will always be one of my all time favorite songs. It's beautiful and simple.
This song still bangs and will continue to bang in all perpetuity.
My friend's mom was the coolest person ever. She had bands from the area over in her basement, she always had the best and freshest music before you heard it on the radio.

Did you?
Yeah, this was out before the Batman soundtrack, cuz my Dad had the CD, I remember listening to this the summer before.
Was her last name Smith?! 😊

Чудесная песня. Рад, что он в порядке. Голос стал, пожалуй, даже лучше с тех пор как он записал тот альбом.
Hands down one of the most absolutely perfect songs I've ever heard.
Seal is a real one. What a great interview
I was 23 years old when this song was new, everyone that I knew either loved the song, or hated the song. I loved it then, and still do today.
Just grew some new appreciation and respect for ol' Seal. 🌕🦇
Kiss from a Rose was the first song I fell in love with! It's when I first started paying attention to music.
Immediately transports me back to 1995.
How good that causal "BABY" was at 12:00 😄 legend
Kiss from a rose is a masterpiece! Much love from yet another old metal head guitarist. The harmonies, the words... ❤... it's a song in a class of its own. Thank you

What a fantastic interview! Something about when music people are hanging out and having fun telling stories about the past. SEAL is a one of a kind person but so very relatable and warm. A joy to hang out with the both of you, Mason!
What a humble man with a beautiful song. No one performs a song better than the person who wrote it. Well done! Thanks for sharing this video😊
That's not true. I've definitely heard covers that were better than the original. However, in this case, it is.

Great interview. Seal is an intellectual and a humble guy. Appreciate his takes on things.
Literally 4 seconds into this video I grabbed my guitar 😂 takes me back to my childhood that song
I truly enjoyed this interview. His song will last on epic levels and the advice given on trying to break out of yourself is of equally such.

This song is definitely my favorite from Seal. Too bad we don’t have REAL music like this nowadays 😭.
This will always be a great song. He still sounds amazing for his age as well.
This is such a great interview with such a cool artist
Great interview.
I’ve always loved “Crazy” and “Kiss from a rose”.

I first heard this song when i was 5 years old, from the grammy CD that came out after he won (1995?), and now I am 35 and i still love this song. Thank you Seal for a beautiful track, it has stayed in my heart all my life ❤
Fuck this thing sounds great acoustic
Very nice interview :-) My first time discovering Seal, the man behind the music. Well done
fantastic song writer and clearly a very nice guy!
God bless Seal & the beauty he’s voiced to the world.
He also seems like such a pleasant person.
Incredibly talented yet humble. Geez I miss that
Cant believe how perfect it was for this song to come out with the most underrated batman of all time. So perfect.. dark yet still beautiful, also you cant beat the time of late 90s.
When you write and perform this tune and " Crazy "? I'd say you nailed it. He knew it, and so do we. Beautiful.
My favourite music is pop punk, rock, metal, but I have always loved this song. It's a masterpiece. Seals vocals are just incredible
I rememeber hearing it and bought the single/s when it first arrived. I found it absolutely astounding it came and went so quickly first time around.
Thank you so much for this performance and interview.
Song of my childhood. God this brings me back..,,it must have been the summer of 1995? 10 years old and listened to that soundtrack on repeat
