IMO, *THE* most powerful love song from the 80s...yes, even ahead of "Faithfully" from Journey..."Faithfully" is about the difficulty of bring apart, "I Wanna Know What Love Is" is about coming together!
I want to say, and hopefully this clarifies rather than criticizes your comment (because I liked your comment); that I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IS is not about coming together but rather the *hope* of coming together after a long journey. I see it as meeting that person who we hope is our 3rd & final love (which is where I am at now), after many failed attempts. It also has connotations of higher love to everyone, not just 1 person. [Edit: Lizzie even noted that it wasn't about a specific relationship just people in general.] Now I will add that WAITING FOR A GIRL LIKE YOU is more about coming together in the culmination of true romance.
The band called themselves Foreigner, because half the band were American and the other half English, and so no matter which Country they touched down in, to some of the band, it would be a ''foreign'' Country.
Love is simple. Lizzie; it's when someone else's happiness becomes more important to you than your own. Ideally, then, yours becomes more important to them than their own, as well.
Eventually he was able to "See". He then wrote one last verse to the song. "Now I Know What Love Is." Years ago I watched an interview with him where he explains what this song is about,,, and where it came from. The last verse he wrote isn't on a recording.
Life lasts but a little time , In both the heart and in the mind . A fleeting gift from up above , The only thing worth the while is LOVE. For where there is LOVE there is surely life , And where there is not there is but pain and strife. And hell is not some pit filled with fire and dread , Hell is living on after your LOVE is dead. The pain cuts right to the bone , And though I walk among you I am always alone 💔
This group had so many hits I honestly don't have a favorite but if I did this would be at the top of the list. Lou Gramm with this group were just an iconic group from our past and am just so happy to see the younger generation listening to them. It was just a great time to grow up me and my brother that passed just over three years ago truly enjoyed the shit out this group and so many others from the era.
To answer you question about love...if you take care of it ..and it takes care of you ..this is love..but..if you take care of it but it doesn't take care of you..that's infatuation ..if it does not take care of you and you don't take of its a friendship..
His face reminds me of Frodo in Lord of the Ring. A very talanted musician,and great singer. This song is a classic for sure..they dont make songs like this anymore...
God Is love, agape love is ultimate love, sacrificial love through Jesus our lord and savior. Music that is like this song and faithfully from journey is a reflection of that love. Beautiful song . Thank you Jesus for great music
Interesting that you mention going to 'church', because here's a trivia answer for you: The Gospel group that sung background for the band was the New Jersey Mass Choir.
If you haven't done a reaction to it yet, I would suggest giving their song Urgent a listen - different to I Want To Know What Love Is - but just as good, if not better (in my opinion).
For foriener I s my favorite group and the song is my favorite song. another song that I would like for you to listen to is Martina !McBride concrete Angel
This is 1 moving power ballad. The other ballad is Waiting for a Girl Like You, my favorite! 😎 Covers : Mariah Carey did! Great! React to hers! 😎 Morissette Amon covered Mariah Carey! W🤯W. Then react to hers! 🤯 🎹
Ok I know what love is .....and if you react to Elton John’s song “sacrifice “ if you get that song then you know what love is ..... please watch.... plz cause it is love ❤️
Hi there Lizzie nice to meet you too. My first time watching you react. You're quirky good. :P Seems you like romantic love songs. Don't we all? hehe Well the 1960's had some of the best love songs. If you haven't already reacted or seen it, Unchained Melody, by the Righteous Brothers is my all time fav love song. It is the live version from their (this song was a solo with only one bro singing) Andy Williams television show appearance. Bobby Hatfield the supremely talented singer is wearing a pink suit, and just nailed it in every way. Melts the hearts of 99.9% of the female reactors and quite a few of the guy reactors. If you seen the movie "Ghost" you will recognize this song. Then if you want to hear both bro's together (they were labeled as "blue eyed soul) check out, You've Lost That Loving Feeling. This song was so good it had the most radio play of any song on American Radio in the 20th Century. Hope you love these songs as much as I do. :)
Do I know what love is? Her name is Amanda, I'm the man who named her. I could spend the rest of my life trying to describe the love I have for my daughter and it wouldn't be enough. I love you Amanda ❤️🌎❤️ Daddy
This song will get every person in their feels
If you have a heart
Lou Gramm has one of the greatest voices ever in rock history. Saw them back in the day as I am 62, and they were awesome.
One of the best songs ever. I have this in my collection - know it word for word.
IMO, *THE* most powerful love song from the 80s...yes, even ahead of "Faithfully" from Journey..."Faithfully" is about the difficulty of bring apart, "I Wanna Know What Love Is" is about coming together!
A rock ballad with a gospel choir backing made this song sound something different, and *_SPECIAL_* and is a firmly my personal favourite song
Yet, even this song hits those of us who have never found love. Makes me shed tears every time. God Bless those who have found love.
..Agreed.

I see this song, this masterpiece, as not only a love song, but also a cry to be loved. Such powerful lyrics and music! Hits me hard every time!
This was adorable. You watching Foreigner for your mom is the best thing I’ve seen on TH-cam.
This one big hit in the 80s! 👌😘👉❤👍glad you enjoyed it sweetie!
The band called themselves Foreigner, because half the band were American and the other half English, and so no matter which Country they touched down in, to some of the band, it would be a ''foreign'' Country.
I thought it was cause love was foriegn. 🤣
Why do I love your reaction? I dont kno but i do. I was like 14 when this song came out. It was like living in heaven.

Love is simple. Lizzie; it's when someone else's happiness becomes more important to you than your own. Ideally, then, yours becomes more important to them than their own, as well.
Awww 🥰 this song is classic!
Isn’t it? 😭😭💗

Ayyyyyyy playing that good ish!
😭😂 have to
Wynona Judd sang this song as a Christian song ! She was praying to God for Him to show her what love is. It was wonderful!!
Life lasts but a little time ,
In both the heart and in the mind .
A fleeting gift from up above ,
The only thing worth the while is LOVE.
For where there is LOVE there is surely life ,
And where there is not there is but pain and strife.
And hell is not some pit filled with fire and dread ,
Hell is living on after your LOVE is dead.
The pain cuts right to the bone ,
And though I walk among you I am always alone 💔
Mums got good taste 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
This and Faithfully are in my all time top 10. To me they are about the same thing from different views. Beautiful
He's asking the girl to show him what love is because h had so much heartache in the past
This group had so many hits I honestly don't have a favorite but if I did this would be at the top of the list.

Great choice. Love this song!
Your reactions are hilarious..."why are you running?!!" 🤣🤣
Keep the reactions coming! 💛
Thank you 😭💗💗 and facts she ran like she was on a mission and will do, stay tuned! 💗🙏🏾
Lou Graham and his god damn masterpiece !
Foreigner's "JUKEBOX HERO" is one of the greatest Rock anthems of all time! Hope you try it out sometime. You won't be disappointed.
To answer you question about love...if you take care of it ..and it takes care of you ..this is love..but..if you take care of it but it doesn't take care of you..that's infatuation ..if it does not take care of you and you don't take of its a friendship..
Very true 💗

Love is giving without expecting anything in return.
Foreigner's Hot Blooded is awesome as well. But this song here, is their best you just reacted to. They are an amazing band.
His face reminds me of Frodo in Lord of the Ring. A very talanted musician,and great singer. This song is a classic for sure..they dont make songs like this anymore...
Lol that’s true 😂💗
I know what love is. It is going to the cross and dying for a planet that does not understand.
Your a trip. It was about love in general but also about his chick. And interracial relations. Snoop and myself dig the whole picture ❤ 1971 Gen X ❤
Still loving you by the scorpions
I hit like button as soon as I heard that laugh 😂.
😂💗 appreciate it
