Mother of god! What? What? What the hell did I just listen to? I have just listened to this song 4 times back to back and cannot get over this guys voice. How in gods name is it possible that I have never heard of him and that voice? Seriously that was insane! What is it with Australia… how can a small country on the other side of the world produce so many talented musicians, singers, actors, athletes…. Is there something in the water? Seriously this the most beautiful thing I have ever heard…. He must make you Aussie’s so damn proud. I just can’t believe that I am only discovering him now but I thank god that I have thanks to this channel…. God bless you Jimmy Barnes
No its the pub rock education, they all started there, Aussie audience in a pub are brutal, you HAD to be good to get through, and Jimmy and Cold Chisel were the Kings of this
@@Eskay1206 Indeed.. if you want an Australian audience in a pub (or anywhere for that matter) to respond well.. you had better be the real deal or don't bother showing up.
No fluff.. no stuff.. just the real deal. I'm so proud of all of our extraordinarily talented singers, bands, actors.. the list goes on. Jimmy Barnes, John Farnham and so many others are brilliant in their own right and the world is just starting to find them. Well done!
Same, if I hear one more uneducated person say he just screams.....seriously! No way could you have the career he has had of you just screamed, you would have destroyed your voice decades ago. Love you Jimmy ❤ legend!
Jimmy is 65 now. He’s everything to me, he’s got such a kind heart and soul and had a tremendously awful childhood. He pulled himself out of drugs and alcohol and is such a family man. You can see his love for his wife Jane and his kids, it’s absolutely beautiful ❤️
My heart is bursting with so much pride to say that I'm Australian and know that I have grown up listening to this legend!!! My first ever concert I went to at 18yrs old was his soul deeper concert, boy did he set the bar high!!!!
There's the music, and there's your reaction to the music....both are bringing joy to the world! We bestow upon you honorary Aussie status for your love of our music. Bring yourself Down Under anytime.
Aussie LEGEND! Massive career with Cold Chisel ( GREAT aussie band) while he had big problems with booze etc. Married to the same woman for decades, cleaned up his act and now an incredible solo artist doing jazz/blues. Us Aussies consider ourselves very lucky to have had such talent for so long!
Jimmy made an amazing documentary a couple of years ago which is all about his childhood, moving with his family from Scotland to Australia. His father was an extremely violent alcoholic and his childhood sounded like pure hell. You can see why he became such a madman in later years. He was famous for drinking a whole bottle of neat vodka on stage during a show. Thankfully he met Jane and she straightened him out. When I hear this song I just know Jimmy is singing it for her.
From NZ, liked Jimmy, didn't love Jimmy, but after watching your reaction vid's and learning from your song track analysis and structure breakdown, highlighting those intricacies that only the best can fill, now I love Jimmy like I just met him for the first time, this guy is a beast! thank you
You show us all how to listen to Jimmy’s intricacies in his voice and presentation of his songs. It never has been screaming, it is pure control of his vocals. Only other screamer that is not a screamer but has total control of his vocals is Prince.
Jimmy is to Australia what Bruce Springsteen is to America. As the lead Singer to one of Australia’s most Iconic bands Cold Chisel, you have to do one of Cold Chisels songs.
Thank you for checking this out. I'm privileged to have grown up listening to Jimmy. We are blessed to have him and so grateful that YOU appreciate his Australian talent. PS. Your reactions are GOLD!!!!!!!!!!
Jimmy and his extended family helped so many (particularly in my home town Melbourne) through the Covid lockdowns. We had the longest lockdowns in the world, and each day his family and some friends would do a musical video to keep s entertained and relatively sane.
Mate I found you purely by luck and I just love the fact you're listening to some great Australian artists especially Jimmy Barnes, he's royalty. Your responses are genuine and heartfelt, that's what I love about them. This song is a great song and perfect for his gritty soulful voice. Thanks mate, look forward to watching you discover more great bands and singers from down here in Oz... Might I suggest you check out Powderfinger or Silverchair, Id be interested to see your reactions to them.
I love Jimmy. I wonder if the reason he’s so bloody good at soul singing is that he had a rough upbringing and all his experiences come through his voice. He can sing of love because Jane stuck with him through thick and thin.Whatever his secret, he is a bloody legend.
So great to see people getting access to this kind of music, Australian and New Zealand artists that love and we grew up with. Love your reaction and the joy you get too. Plenty more where they came from. Keep enjoying and spreading the word Bro.
2:57 "you better play on those drums". You are impressed by Jimmy Barnes, the drummer is his son Jackie. And daughter Mahalia on backup vocals. Jimmy has SO MUCH TALENT that he can gift HUGE amounts of talent to his kids, and still shock everyone that has the honour of listening to him sing. The song was written by Don Walker, the keyboard player from Jimmy's band Cold Chisel.
This is where a legendary rocker ends up when he has an amazing voice and love of music - he has always been phenomenal from my early years to now - he kept us entertained with home videos thru the pandemic
I wish you knew just how much you make me smile with your reactions to one of our greats . Every time I end up grinning from ear to ear . Thank you so much 😊 GOD bless you and your family.
Ah gave me goosebumps, this is my heart beating honestly just the memories that Jimmy gives me, I grew up listening to him and his voice is everything his voice just describes us Aussies 🥰
That grit comes from experience and time and is totally missing from today’s music. Us old timers have all these decades of music to choose from and I find us always going to it and really appreciating every chord, riff, sound. Tedeschi/Trucks is the best keeping it true now. We need music like this today....emotional, physical, and ,oh, the lyrics with those gut wrenching growls and moans. To me, this is the music! The color, the religion, the beliefs....just fade away when you hear this..we are so much more alike than different. Let’s keep it going, bro, keep it alive and moving. Thank you for what you are doing.
Jimmy Barnes Stone Cold was the first music I bought with my own money, that and MJ Dangerous. I was 7 I think and it was an old-school cassette, I loved Jimmy Barnes for as long as I can remember. Absolute legend of a man.
He released a soul album in 1991 called Soul Deep and has done many more soul albums since then. You’d also be surprised to hear that he did a childrens album called Och Aye the G’nu (his heritage is Scottish) which he won an ARIA (Australian music industry) award for back in 2017. So talented and ages like a fine malt whiskey 🥃
This has been my very favourite Jimmy Barnes song for absolute years ! It still resonates deep within me at a soul level just as it did the first time I heard it.
Had the joy of listening to Jimmy sing all my life, first with Cold Chisel & then as a solo artist. And he always sings with so much feeling in his voice
i love your reactions man. Pure honest reaction. As an Australian, John and Jimmy have somewhat of a 'middle-of-the-road' reputation to their music. Ive heard them my whole life and not been very interested. Seeing you watch/feel them for the first time is actually giving me a greater appreciation for them both. Thanks man :)
I’m 65 now and was lucky enough to have seen him perform most of my life. From Cold Chisel to Jimmy Barns I’m so proud to be Australian. Still love listening to this man he is one of a kind no one will ever be as good as he is.
Glad you found these guys. I randomly ran across Jimmy Barnes early last year with his extremely talented family (and friends) singing and posting songs they did on Facebook. His wife, his daughters, his sons, his brother-in-law, his son-in-law, etc……all very talented. I then, of course, learned of his band Cold Chisel through those postings. Even his old interviews are good and interesting. He’s been through a lot and glad he made it to the other side of his troubles. I went down a huge Cold Chisel and Jimmy Barnes rabbit hole. Many rabbit holes to get lost in here of Jimmy’s family members and friends.
You better believe there is seasoning there. The man has been to hell and back so many times in his life and come through with an incredible story and the scars that give you that voice. An absolute Australian treasure!!!
its a nice rabbit hole to go down, barnsey has one of them voices that cuts through you like butter. gives me chills every time. you cant go wrong with any of his songs
The American music industry didn't know what to do with them, as they didn't fit in their genre boxes. They wanted them to change the lyrics and melody's to fit the American taste. Individually they said no thanks and came home.
❤❤brings me back some happy days, singing with Dad. Your reaction to our Barnse is exactly why my dad and I loved Jimmy gift! thank you from a tearful daughter in Sydney, Australia xx
How are you not a blubbering mess!!!! I’m soo emotional watching this and I grew up with this guy, I can’t imagine seeing this for the first time. I envy you😍
Your reactions are absolutely priceless, it’s so awesome to see how passionate you are about music, I thought I was the only one ha ha ha.. Definitely check out “Lay down your guns” and “Let’s Make it last all night” off the album Jimmy Barnes Two Fires and “The Weight” with The Badloves, you’ve only just scratched the surface of insanely good songs from Jimmy.
Growing up in Australia in the 1980s and 90s it was always confusing how neither Jimmy Barnes or John Farnham weren't seemed to take in the US. It just means that we got to see them live more often. So glad you founds them and hope you check them out some more. Tina Arena would be another Australian voice I'd recommend you check out too. Her song 'Chains' is amazing.
Pretty sure Jimmy Barnes told a US record company to get stuffed after they failed to show up to his live performance somewhere in the US. I don't think he ever bothered with the US again after that.
My theory is that the rest of the world they believe Fosters is our best beer, but like Jimmy and John we Aussies like to keep the good stuff for ourselves.
I'd imagine this has been the bridal waltz many times over the years here in Australia. Still gives me a tickle when I hear it. Only found your reactions tonight. Loving your appreciation of out Aussie legends. Subbed
Australian home grown music is a deep rabbit hole mate, Cold Chisel started out as what we call pub bands. Cold Chisel, Australian Crawl, Rose Tattoo even AC/DC were pub bands. The majority of Aussie musicians stay within Australia and are very successful and and don’t bother with the madness of the US music industry hence you do not get access to their music. Stevie Wright, Ian Moss for blusey rock and Judith Durham and Tina Arena for solos.
Joe's guitar and Jimmy's vocals compliment each other so well. The guitar solo is one of the best I've ever seen. Jimmy's gravel throat is capable of screaming sublimely and subtle softness.
The way Jimmy finishes this song - moves me to tears every time. It's so good that you 'get' Jimmy, and that you've helped bring him to the world. Thank you.
Enjoying your reactions a lot thnx. If you have time look at some early Jimmy with his band Cold Chisel (breakfast at sweethearts, khe san, you got nothing I want etc.)
That's Jimmy's son on drums. And Jimmy's daughter, Mahalia, sings backup for Joe. Here's Joe and Mahalia singing "Riding with The Kings".... th-cam.com/video/LT1_zLv3SHg/w-d-xo.html She's got her old man's pipes! Another great one with Joe and Jimmy is their cover of Deep Purple's "Lazy"... th-cam.com/video/69EcnxJmnd4/w-d-xo.html
Omg I love this song and Jimmy has a beautiful voice thank you Nick for doing this reaction and introducing all of us to Mr. Barnes AWESOME job as always I’m your number one fan and you are my favorite reactor May God continue to bless you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Always loved how Jimmy sings with so much emotion & feeling in his voice. My favorites are Four Walls, When the War is Over, Flame Trees, Bow River, Choir Girl, all with Cold Chisel. But his Soul Deep & Soul Deeper albums are fantastic too
Jimmy Barnes has an audio book called working class boy. It is an autobiography about his childhood. It is mind blowing and well worth a listen too and helps explain where all that sound comes from It is extremely powerfull. Painful to listen too and he reads it himself as well. He also has a son David Campbell who is an awesome singer and a daughter mahalia Barnes who is amazing as well.
Jimmy has been around since 1973, originally as the lead singer for Cold Chisel, an Aussie Pub rock band. Jon Bonamassa is an American blues rock guitarist, singer and songwriter. He started his career at age 12, when he opened for B.B. King. Cold Chisel were an integral part of Australian music through the 70's, 80's and 90's and even into the 2000's. Discovering them now is like someone discovering the Rolling Stones.
Jimmy did an Album called Soul Deep, the other single apart from When Somethings Wrong with my Baby was I Gotcha. It also showcases his voice perfectly singing such greats as River Deep Mountain High (my favourite) Signed Sealed Delivered and Many Rivers to Cross. Enjoy the rabbit hole that is Aussie Rock.
@@ThatSingerReactions as an aussie, I kinda disagree.we have such a thirst for music here we will take a talent from another country and blow it into the stratosphere of popularity when the country of origin ignores them. A fantastic few examples of this are we gave the world ACDC and Bee Gees but we took Suzi Quatro and Nickleback and made them family. Just a few easy quick samples
Love your reactions. For us Aussies, Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham have been part of our lives for decades. Seeing them both live more than once has been a blessing.
This is outstanding isn't it. Jimmy Barnes was the first live show I went to. I was 15 and saw him at the River Stage at Expo 88 in Brisbane Australia. Awesome show. Loved Cold Chisel and Jimmy Barnes for most of my life. He is still doing it too. Most soul and Blues stuff now.
Love Jimmy Barnes AND Joe Bonamassa too!! Now you need to check out some of Joe's solo stuff. His voice is excellent and his guitar is on fire. You'll love it.
If you want to hear Jimmy Barnes at his best he originally was the lead singer for a band called "Cold Chisel". He also did a duet with INXS called Good Times which was on the soundtrack for the movie The Lost Boys.
LOL Wait until you hit a song where you realize that Jimmy's chest range is actually as big if not bigger than Johns. Waiting on a heart ache, driving wheels and lay down your guns are pretty good examples of his actual range.
Oh HELL yeah! This is a tribute to my youth and what I used to listen to. These men are killing it! And I thank you for bringing this to me. I have loved soul and blues my whole life and I have never heard of him! Such fine delivery.
You popped up in my recommendeds reacting to John Farnham and now I’m watching back to back videos of you reacting to our boys John and Jimmy. I’m 50 and have been the biggest Jimmy fan my whole life, ore for his rock music than soul. Although his Soul Deep album was my favourite album.. And your videos remind me of why I love his music and his unique voice.. welcome to the fandom
Great reaction mate. You need to check out Jimmy in Cold Chisel concert LastStand! Check out "Cold Chisel - Wild Thing (Last Stand)". Great version of a great song and an indication of why his voice is like it is. It's the break up tour of his band and he has drunk a bottle of Vodka (nightly) and sings so well! Awesome song, awesome concert and awesome band. Aussie legend!
I’ve NEVER heard Jimmy Barnes sing a single note…Ever. Holy f***!! Incredible. Simply Incredible. What a texture he has. My god, what have I been missing?? So glad I stumbled onto this….!!
Mother of god! What? What? What the hell did I just listen to? I have just listened to this song 4 times back to back and cannot get over this guys voice. How in gods name is it possible that I have never heard of him and that voice? Seriously that was insane! What is it with Australia… how can a small country on the other side of the world produce so many talented musicians, singers, actors, athletes…. Is there something in the water? Seriously this the most beautiful thing I have ever heard…. He must make you Aussie’s so damn proud. I just can’t believe that I am only discovering him now but I thank god that I have thanks to this channel…. God bless you Jimmy Barnes

Jimmy Barnes, the most in tune and highest range chainsaw the world has ever known. So good.
Hahahaha yes 🤪😅
Best comment!
💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol best description eva!
So true what a great description of Jimmy.
Mate, as an Australian, it makes me so proud the way you react to Jimmy Barnes and Cold Chisel. You're obviously a true music fan.
Makes me feel the same (but probably different) as a Kiwi!
Ditto
Same, if I hear one more uneducated person say he just screams.....seriously! No way could you have the career he has had of you just screamed, you would have destroyed your voice decades ago.
Love you Jimmy ❤ legend!

Jimmy is 65 now. He’s everything to me, he’s got such a kind heart and soul and had a tremendously awful childhood. He pulled himself out of drugs and alcohol and is such a family man. You can see his love for his wife Jane and his kids, it’s absolutely beautiful ❤️
👍🤟🌷
I was lucky to meet Jimmy and Jane at the airport in the 80's, they were both absolutely lovely
Jimmy Barnes, Cold Chisel, "Flame Tree" - you're welcome. Such a sheer joy to watch someone who understands music react to a master piece.
True appreciation so satisfying :)

Right! It's like the guitar is singing to me. It feels like the guitar is saying words
This is crazeeeee good. I am 54 years old and i never knew of Jimmy Barnes. Omg he is absolutely amazing. 🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤ love ya and your channel.
Aussie LEGEND! Massive career with Cold Chisel ( GREAT aussie band) while he had big problems with booze etc. Married to the same woman for decades, cleaned up his act and now an incredible solo artist doing jazz/blues. Us Aussies consider ourselves very lucky to have had such talent for so long!
Hope you’re listening to earlier music both as a solo act and cold chisel. Check out Ian Moss, the guitarist and singer in Cold Chisel too.
Jimmy would be over 60? He was gigging in the 70s

Should see the movie it's in of the same name, with Michael Keaton.
Yes dude please do this song!!!!

Jimmy is to Australia what Bruce Springsteen is to America. As the lead Singer to one of Australia’s most Iconic bands Cold Chisel, you have to do one of Cold Chisels songs.

You can’t go wrong putting Jimmy Barnes and Joe Bonamassa together , it’s a match made in heaven
I love Jimmy. I wonder if the reason he’s so bloody good at soul singing is that he had a rough upbringing and all his experiences come through his voice. He can sing of love because Jane stuck with him through thick and thin.Whatever his secret, he is a bloody legend.
Yes Naomi, you're correct there. It's cathartic for him.
See what Americans have been missing out on. I’m 56 and have grown up with Jimmy and John Farnham.

Cold Chisel tried to make it in the US and got knocked back. Listen to “You’ve got nothing I want” to hear what they thought of that.
Yeah. the chicken salt kind! Aussie all the way!
its a nice rabbit hole to go down, barnsey has one of them voices that cuts through you like butter. gives me chills every time. you cant go wrong with any of his songs

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ oh god! His growl! He just gets better with age😊😃🌏🪐🌕🙏🐦🇦🇺🌞🥵⛱️🌸🦋🏡🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Joe's guitar and Jimmy's vocals compliment each other so well. The guitar solo is one of the best I've ever seen. Jimmy's gravel throat is capable of screaming sublimely and subtle softness.
So true this song is magic.
The way Jimmy finishes this song - moves me to tears every time. It's so good that you 'get' Jimmy, and that you've helped bring him to the world. Thank you.
Enjoying your reactions a lot thnx. If you have time look at some early Jimmy with his band Cold Chisel (breakfast at sweethearts, khe san, you got nothing I want etc.)
You need to listen to Jimmy Barnes singing you'll never walk alone with his son David Campbell
Great reaction. Two words for you Karise Eden, brilliant Aussie singer. Cross between Janis Joplin and Tina Turner!!
He did a reaction to Karise but was one that didn't showcase her power or expose her signature sound.
That's Jimmy's son on drums. And Jimmy's daughter, Mahalia, sings backup for Joe. Here's Joe and Mahalia singing "Riding with The Kings".... th-cam.com/video/LT1_zLv3SHg/w-d-xo.html She's got her old man's pipes! Another great one with Joe and Jimmy is their cover of Deep Purple's "Lazy"... th-cam.com/video/69EcnxJmnd4/w-d-xo.html
Such a pleasure to see your reactions. Love your appreciation for such an amazing artist. Thank you
Dude that's the kind of grit that would make sand paper ashamed of itself
These reactions are the best BY A COUNTRY MILE. They make me laugh and cry at the same time 🤙
Omg I love this song and Jimmy has a beautiful voice thank you Nick for doing this reaction and introducing all of us to Mr. Barnes AWESOME job as always I’m your number one fan and you are my favorite reactor May God continue to bless you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Always loved how Jimmy sings with so much emotion & feeling in his voice.
My favorites are Four Walls, When the War is Over, Flame Trees, Bow River, Choir Girl, all with Cold Chisel.
But his Soul Deep & Soul Deeper albums are fantastic too
OMG I love your reactions..absolutely love them
Jimmy Barnes has an audio book called working class boy. It is an autobiography about his childhood. It is mind blowing and well worth a listen too and helps explain where all that sound comes from It is extremely powerfull. Painful to listen too and he reads it himself as well. He also has a son David Campbell who is an awesome singer and a daughter mahalia Barnes who is amazing as well.
Jimmy has been around since 1973, originally as the lead singer for Cold Chisel, an Aussie Pub rock band. Jon Bonamassa is an American blues rock guitarist, singer and songwriter. He started his career at age 12, when he opened for B.B. King. Cold Chisel were an integral part of Australian music through the 70's, 80's and 90's and even into the 2000's. Discovering them now is like someone discovering the Rolling Stones.
You need to look up Jimmy and his son David Campbell sing you’ll never walk alone at carols by candlelight. TEARS!
Love your enthusiasm and energy.
Cmon down to Australia brother
Jimmy Barnes “Cheap Wine” is when I fell in love with Jimmy. ❤️
I am back here to do it again, goddd damn Joes playing is off this planet
Jimmy did an Album called Soul Deep, the other single apart from When Somethings Wrong with my Baby was I Gotcha. It also showcases his voice perfectly singing such greats as River Deep Mountain High (my favourite) Signed Sealed Delivered and Many Rivers to Cross. Enjoy the rabbit hole that is Aussie Rock.
Mate, I love watching your reaction to singers aussies have known for decades. Gives me fresh appreciation to these guys. God bless👍🤓
The biggest disservice people in America do themselves is ignoring reactions to music that isn't "famous and familiar" .
I agree I think that's a world problem tbh
@@ThatSingerReactions as an aussie, I kinda disagree.we have such a thirst for music here we will take a talent from another country and blow it into the stratosphere of popularity when the country of origin ignores them. A fantastic few examples of this are we gave the world ACDC and Bee Gees but we took Suzi Quatro and Nickleback and made them family. Just a few easy quick samples
@@velvetandchester and a topical one atm a small Swedish band named ABBA got their start in Australia!
@@velvetandchester Nickleback? Queensland police literally put a wanted poster on nickleback for crimes against humanity.
@@velvetandchester we also took Abba and made them family 😻
Love your reactions. For us Aussies, Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham have been part of our lives for decades. Seeing them both live more than once has been a blessing.
This song is soul therapy.
Oh wow, what a treat - such Aussie soul. OMG
This is outstanding isn't it. Jimmy Barnes was the first live show I went to. I was 15 and saw him at the River Stage at Expo 88 in Brisbane Australia. Awesome show. Loved Cold Chisel and Jimmy Barnes for most of my life. He is still doing it too. Most soul and Blues stuff now.
My school sang Youre The Voice at expo 88 ;)
Priceless brilliant performance all round .Have seen Jimmy Barnes ,cold chisel live a few times now and yep .he sounds that good ...
Love Jimmy Barnes AND Joe Bonamassa too!! Now you need to check out some of Joe's solo stuff. His voice is excellent and his guitar is on fire. You'll love it.
If you want to hear Jimmy Barnes at his best he originally was the lead singer for a band called "Cold Chisel".
He also did a duet with INXS called Good Times which was on the soundtrack for the movie The Lost Boys.
LOL Wait until you hit a song where you realize that Jimmy's chest range is actually as big if not bigger than Johns. Waiting on a heart ache, driving wheels and lay down your guns are pretty good examples of his actual range.
Yes yes yes lay down your guns and make it last all night..
Omg waiting on the heartache.
Oh HELL yeah! This is a tribute to my youth and what I used to listen to. These men are killing it! And I thank you for bringing this to me. I have loved soul and blues my whole life and I have never heard of him! Such fine delivery.
This is a great reaction from you. You're just feeling the music as it should be.
So glad you’ve been introduced to our Jimmy. I’ve been a fan of his for nearly 40 years.
Watch John Farnham and him together - AMAZING!
Jimmy is 65, but like a fine wine only gets better with age.
Jimmy is the australian icon cold chisel are in every aussies bloodline love ya work brother
You popped up in my recommendeds reacting to John Farnham and now I’m watching back to back videos of you reacting to our boys John and Jimmy. I’m 50 and have been the biggest Jimmy fan my whole life, ore for his rock music than soul. Although his Soul Deep album was my favourite album.. And your videos remind me of why I love his music and his unique voice.. welcome to the fandom
Same.
Love it 😂 your reactions and words are legendary 😂 Jimmy is timeless 💞
Great reaction mate. You need to check out Jimmy in Cold Chisel concert LastStand! Check out "Cold Chisel - Wild Thing (Last Stand)". Great version of a great song and an indication of why his voice is like it is. It's the break up tour of his band and he has drunk a bottle of Vodka (nightly) and sings so well! Awesome song, awesome concert and awesome band. Aussie legend!
I’ve NEVER heard Jimmy Barnes sing a single note…Ever. Holy f***!! Incredible. Simply Incredible. What a texture he has. My god, what have I been missing?? So glad I stumbled onto this….!!
Of all the reactors, you're my favourite.
I'm speechless. Gone to heaven. I listen to this every day. Just close your eyes.
