Many problems have been solved by people who were never told that the problem was unsolvable. "I didn't know I couldn't" is a perfect example of this from a musical perspective.
I thought the same .... Reminded me when i can my mom and she answers w her morning face , but Rick calls and its Seal in the other side of the phone lol
@@spanqueluv9er I actually meant the response on its own. I was not even referring to Seal. I was simply referring to THAT SPECIFIC response. That’s why I used ‘its depth’ rather than ‘his depth’. I wrote that quite intentionally. (Although in the first sentence, I did use the word ‘his’, FWIW).
He did something wrong when he was writing this song, I don't want to ruin it for people because it's such a beautiful song, but since he's a Hollywood star you know how a lot them like to live dangerously. "Now that your rose is in bloom, the lights hit the gloom on the grey" if you can't connect the dots to what that really means then you'll never understand.
Accidently writing a song while getting to know your new 'device' is what happend to Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics as well: it resulted in the musical hook of 'Sweet dreams'. Annie Lennox spontaneously came up with the singing melody and the words while hearing it for the first time.
Oh damn, Seal’s closing comments choked me up a bit. Showing respect to Rick and what he’s bringing and illuminating to people about music and songwriting, especially young people.
Cool to see Seal on your channel. He's written 3 of my all time favorite songs; Kiss From a Rose, Prayer for the Dying, and Love's Divine. He's one of those artists like Sade who blurs the lines between Soul, Jazz, and Pop. Phenomenal voice, interesting lyrics, engaging beats, rhythms, and melodies. One of my favorite artists for sure!
Jesus Christ. Crazy. Is my fav. My husband loves and introduced to me. He is American military. He is back in April and for good. I listen to his iPod music on repeat.
Seal is absolutely amazing. Great songwriter, amazing performer, eloquent speaker and he always has that "distinguished" air about him. A proper gentleman, if you will.
I met Seal back in the late 90s when i worked at a hotel in London and he used to come stay there often.. he was an awesome guy, quiet and very respectful .. fond memories... :)
This makes me so happy! I love Kiss from a Rose, and to hear that Seal sung it into his new Tascam cause he didn't play an instrument is so relatable... and look at what he created from these humble beginnings. So inspiring.
To Me , the entire album is magnificent . I`m 66 years old and it`s been in my top 20 since I first listened to it 30 years ago. I don`t have the words to express how much this album , has and still means to me . I want to thank Seal for all the heart and soul he poured into the recording . It simply heal`s .
People that weren’t around when this came out have no idea how huge this song was! Even though it got played to death, it still holds up today. Great song. Great performance by Seal.
I'm listening to Seal's entire discography and it's impressive. After watching this interview, I'm missing an acoustic album of all Seal's greatest hits. It will be incredible!
Great rick. Scott from Scotland I was listening to kiss from a rose today in bbc radio 2 driving back from the farm … and it knocked me again. I remember hearing it when it came out and been a fav since sing since. Just stunning how a simple chord structure. Just turns into amazing song Seal is true talent. So simple so complex …so beautiful
beato has given us a journey to music... i already knew about seal... just to have us seal is honest, deep, and thoughful... from both of you is great!
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!
This song just popped into my head the other day and would not leave. This is so on time. A Kiss From a Rose is one of the most beautiful songs to ever happen!❤❤❤
Man those were the good old days of music. MTV was absolutely rocking and there was so much music coming out. There was no reason to change! Bring back original MTV and music videos!!!
Seal is just pure class. From his voice to how he carries himself. I also love how he isnt pigeon holed into any genre. If he were american Im not sure that would be the case. Being British he was exposed to far more genres growing up. This song could be one of those big aerosmith soft rock ballads. But its Seal. and its nothing like Killer. His other classic. Both songs are still very unique.
I have always really loved this song and to be honest Seal has other great songs too. But I also love that he enjoys people's different ideas of it. It shows that he proud of it and how it has touched so many people.
So interesting that he wasn't concentrating on writing a song, he was concentrating on how to operate his new Tascam multitrack cassette recorder. He needed to practice bouncing so he had to come up with a bunch of vocal parts to bounce, since he was alnoe and he didn't play an instrument. Fascinating! I'd buy *another* machine to figure out if I was him!! lol
What an amazing video! To just call up Seal. This is a classic. This is what TH-cam is made for. Not sure why Rick would dilute his main channel by putting this on a separate channel. Maybe he has a longer video planned.
my pal Seal ... I haven't seen him for decades but in the 80s we hung out together with a rolling group of players : Eddie Gray ( Francis Bacon's best friend and who was a well known Jazz violinist) , Eruc Robinson (S'Express) , Henry Thomas ( Rock School) and Jon Moss ( Culture Club , Adam and The Nts , The Clash). I remember picking them all up in my van and hitting the clubs in London's West End. Love to Seal - we had a lot of fun in those days x

Quality answer… ‘I didn’t know I couldn’t’. 😂
They did not know it was impossible, so they did it. ‒ Mark Twain 😉
'Officer, I didn't know I couldn't do that"
@@CompleteProducer84 Close your butt cheeks Dave !!!
"genius of the novice"
When you hear someone say "I don't know", it's time to start listening.
I randomly met Seal hiking in LA on the trail. He was the most friendly, awesome guy.
He really gives off those soccer dad vibes...seems like you could run into him anywhere...
“I didn’t know you couldn’t do those things” That's a real composer!!
Many problems have been solved by people who were never told that the problem was unsolvable.
"I didn't know I couldn't" is a perfect example of this from a musical perspective.
"I wonder how Seal thought of this? Oh well, I'll just call him..." -Rick Beato's life 2024
I thought the same .... Reminded me when i can my mom and she answers w her morning face , but Rick calls and its Seal in the other side of the phone lol
Actually, this isn't the first time he's called Seal. I think he did this a few years ago, too. lol So, this was also 2020 Rick Beato's life.
@@le_th_this snippet is from that previous interview.
😅
Love that answer, "it is the right thing to do", speaking from the soul for every artist.
His response is just so damn authentic. You could see that it is coming straight from his heart. I am so impressed by its depth and authenticity.
@infinitysconcinnity2418 ^*his depth, not its🤷♂️
@@spanqueluv9er I actually meant the response on its own. I was not even referring to Seal. I was simply referring to THAT SPECIFIC response. That’s why I used ‘its depth’ rather than ‘his depth’. I wrote that quite intentionally. (Although in the first sentence, I did use the word ‘his’, FWIW).
agreed
@@spanqueluv9er Wrong!
I love the fact that he refuses to give a definite answer in the lyrics and meaning so that each person can make it their own.
He did something wrong when he was writing this song, I don't want to ruin it for people because it's such a beautiful song, but since he's a Hollywood star you know how a lot them like to live dangerously. "Now that your rose is in bloom, the lights hit the gloom on the grey" if you can't connect the dots to what that really means then you'll never understand.
Whereas I did not like that.
All designed to hook you in and maintain intrigue.
I can tell you are annoying af
Seal has such an amazing voice. What a genuine well spoken guy.
Why wouldn't he be well spoken?
Well spoken as opposed to what?
@@MentLeeeNot being well spoken, I presume.
Such a classy gentleman
Heidi might shed a different light on your opinion
I bet everyone in the audience died in their sleep while watching him perform.
@@flexeos this story is utter bullsh1t. There’s always one on every one of these posts 😂
Accidently writing a song while getting to know your new 'device' is what happend to Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics as well: it resulted in the musical hook of 'Sweet dreams'. Annie Lennox spontaneously came up with the singing melody and the words while hearing it for the first time.
Annie Lennox also came up with the second half of the synth riff, which is actually two synth lines layered together.
That’s awesome !
thats why theres so mnay great 80s songs. the technology opened up a new world of creativity. that 80s electro pop explosion.
Ironically, I believe both won Grammys that same day.
Oh damn, Seal’s closing comments choked me up a bit. Showing respect to Rick and what he’s bringing and illuminating to people about music and songwriting, especially young people.
A) it's the instinct & talent, NOT the theory or complicated methods & high flying chord names
B) thank you, Tascam.
🌹🎶👌🏼💯
I can appreciate how you let Seal get the last word here.
Probably it was a paid session and didn't want to sign off in a transactional way.
@@xKarenWalkerxI would be very surprised if Rick paid Seal or anyone he interviews. Rick is very well connected in the music industry.
That song sounds as fresh and relevant today as when it was first released. A true classic. Thank you seal and rick.
Timeless song, beautiful piece of work. Thank you Seal! Rick Beato is music teacher to the world
"I didn't know that was unusual.."
Follow your gut hell yeah
Cool to see Seal on your channel. He's written 3 of my all time favorite songs; Kiss From a Rose, Prayer for the Dying, and Love's Divine. He's one of those artists like Sade who blurs the lines between Soul, Jazz, and Pop. Phenomenal voice, interesting lyrics, engaging beats, rhythms, and melodies. One of my favorite artists for sure!
Me too....lucky to have seen him in person a few times.
Prayer for the Dying is my all time favorite song as well.
Jesus Christ. Crazy. Is my fav. My husband loves and introduced to me. He is American military. He is back in April and for good. I listen to his iPod music on repeat.
Seal is absolutely amazing. Great songwriter, amazing performer, eloquent speaker and he always has that "distinguished" air about him. A proper gentleman, if you will.
Seal speaks truth. It’s the song above all else. Sadly today’s popular music has completely forgotten the meaning of “the song.”
I met Seal back in the late 90s when i worked at a hotel in London and he used to come stay there often.. he was an awesome guy, quiet and very respectful .. fond memories... :)
That was a lovely 5 minutes with Seal. Thank you!
Such a non problematic artist love this guy
I always found this song super hypnotic. I think I didn't hear it before it rolled (in the credits?) in Batman Forever. Loved that whole soundtrack.
This makes me so happy! I love Kiss from a Rose, and to hear that Seal sung it into his new Tascam cause he didn't play an instrument is so relatable... and look at what he created from these humble beginnings. So inspiring.
I was trying to do what an orchestra would do....proceeds to hum one of the most iconic songs from the 90s.
To Me , the entire album is magnificent . I`m 66 years old and it`s been in my top 20 since I first listened to it 30 years ago. I don`t have the words to express how much this album ,

Thank you, dear Seal, for bringing such beauty into the world. God bless you.
People that weren’t around when this came out have no idea how huge this song was! Even though it got played to death, it still holds up today. Great song. Great performance by Seal.
Like most says, Seal's answers are top class - a true gentleman.
Amazing how such a beautiful song can come from out of nowhere. Every time I hear that song, I get the chills it's so powerful.
I'm listening to Seal's entire discography and it's impressive. After watching this interview, I'm missing an acoustic album of all Seal's greatest hits. It will be incredible!
Timely words. One of the last artists to move me deeply.
Great rick. Scott from Scotland I was listening to kiss from a rose today in bbc radio 2 driving back from the farm … and it knocked me again.

I love this man so much. "Show Me" was my jam for a long time. Still hits hard to this day.
Seal.... The legend.
Seal also has Trevor Horn in his corner, which is a huge help in realizing "songs".
😮
beato has given us a journey to music... i already knew about seal... just to have us seal is honest, deep, and thoughful... from both of you is great!
“It’s the song.” This was 5 minutes of quality viewing and has added value to my life. Thank you.
I just subscribed 👍.
This song might be the top1 composition of all time for me... There is nothing like it!!!
“I felt like it was the right thing to do”, this sums up the definition of “inspiration”.
(Just discovered ur 2nd channel through this, thx.)
Inspiration has no limitations
Loved his performance at Freddie's tribute concert. He really gave it his all.
Such a great song. Recorded it over and over on a cassette tape just so I could listen to it several times without rewinding...
My father did that with This Old House by Shakin' Stevens. I hated that tape.
I was today years old when I discovered that Seal wrote this song as well as sang it.
Awesome. ❤
SEAL IS NOT NOT AND NOT THE WRITER OF THAT SONG .
The grasp of hamony on display during the bridge from this song still breaks my goddamn mind.
Wow he seems like such a good person. I love to see that in people with such skill and talent.
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!
His explanation of the lyrics is an explanation of art.
This song just popped into my head the other day and would not leave. This is so on time. A Kiss From a Rose is one of the most beautiful songs to ever happen!❤❤❤
Again, heaps of praise that is so well deserved. We all raise a glass to you Rick and thank you so much for what you do.
Artists, singers, creative s think outside of the box. Seal created a beautiful song... Kiss from a Rose.
I love Seal so much and this just underscores who he is!
I'm all warm and fuzzy inside!
I love hearing about the songwriting methods of artists and how particular songs came to be from inspiration onward! More of this please!
Man those were the good old days of music. MTV was absolutely rocking and there was so much music coming out. There was no reason to change! Bring back original MTV and music videos!!!
I really love Seal, I find very very very very few people inspiring, artists even less so (work that one out). But seal is a true inspiration
Seal is just pure class. From his voice to how he carries himself. I also love how he isnt pigeon holed into any genre. If he were american Im not sure that would be the case. Being British he was exposed to far more genres growing up. This song could be one of those big aerosmith soft rock ballads. But its Seal. and its nothing like Killer. His other classic.

At all cost has to be upheld got me. Man thank you for this Mr. Beato and Mr. Seal!
Enjoyed so much, thank you !!! More interviews with Seal please. Love his voice, song and honesty ❤
God bless true artists. In a world full of of ai n celebrities we need ppl like these.
Great song. One of those you're never tired of litening to. And Trevor Horn is a great producer and arranger.
Seal's voice is like liquid gold👌
Seal the real deal such a wonderful creative singer writer and artist 😍
This is so great Rick! I'm such a huge Seal fan from WAY back. Seeing him live is quite a treat! A real artist.
He has one of the best voices and is one heck of a song writer.
Amazing mini interview.
Very original format.
I have always really loved this song and to be honest Seal has other great songs too. But I also love that he enjoys people's different ideas of it. It shows that he proud of it and how it has touched so many people.
That was cool, man. Such a generous person. That song and that voice are just awesome
"It just felt like the right thing to do". And right there in that one simple statement is, for me, the definition of art.
So interesting that he wasn't concentrating on writing a song, he was concentrating on how to operate his new Tascam multitrack cassette recorder. He needed to practice bouncing so he had to come up with a bunch of vocal parts to bounce, since he was alnoe and he didn't play an instrument. Fascinating!

What an awesome dude. I still love Seal's albums from the 90's.
SO NICE TO HEAR YOU SPEAK 💖
Seriously, what an amazing vocal performance.
Great interview, amazingly beautiful song that endured
Please interview Andy Partridge and/or Colin Moulding from XTC.
I agree. Would me amazing.
Yes, please!
Yes!
99.99% of Rick's audience would have no idea who they were. Besides, Andy's well known for avoiding all interviews/publicity...
@@derekchapman5167 This is true. Just nice to dream.
I was so lucky to see seal in concert at the pearl in vegas.. amazing
Love this format. Thank you for bringing these legends to us 😊
I would love to feel this inspired reading instruction manuals. 😂
What an awesome guy.
This song is timeless
A Tascam 244 ... takes me way back.
Kids today have no idea how hard it was to do all this before laptops.
Saw him live in Toronto, what a phenomenal voice he has.
I totally agree with Seal. Your channels are very important❤
I truly respect Seal as a musician ❤.
Just respect 👍
Love and enjoy, love Seal answers, such a nice talented sir, and both so athentic and showing true love for music!
Such an amazingly powerful song
Loved this! Great human, great musician, great song.
Also: i never noticed this was a different channel.
There was a time when I listened to his first album every day. Amazing artist.
The Beauty of the song is that it's in 6/8 time and the mid-song key change.
Classic song. I love it till this day.
Beautiful song. Was the opening dance to our wedding 22 years ago. ❤
How wonderful this is. Thank you for using your access & curiosity to delve into these cool questions. And - Thank You, Seal!!
What an amazing video! To just call up Seal. This is a classic. This is what TH-cam is made for.
Not sure why Rick would dilute his main channel by putting this on a separate channel. Maybe he has a longer video planned.
If you want to be unique then you have to be unusual. Being unusual is what produced this great song!
One video. Two absolute legends.
Beautiful!
Such an amazing song. They don't make them like that anymore.
One of the best songs ever. ❤
Melody this track is amazing...well done Seal!
This was great. Thank you sir. Love learning about all this stuff. Keep them coming.
