Greatest amazing singer who has always lifted my spirit, making me feel great every time I hear him, since I was 13 years old. l never loved and enjoyed anyone like this gifted icon. l'm 68 years young and he'll forever be my favorite. He's definitely #1 world wide. Sir Rod Forever!!!!! 😊🎉❤
Nearly September 2024 , still listening to this Legend of a singer especially this Classic song . Just doesn't age it still sounds like it did when it was released. Thanks for all the Great songs Chris especially this one
Took me FOREVER to relocate this song after listening to it often on the radio in my childhood years. I knew of Rod Stewart through the song "Young Turks", but I love this song more!!
hi rod! if you see this i was at one of your early concerts when you were with faces a long time ago . in chicago I think it was at the Chicago Amphitheatre! I wish I knew what i knew what i know now when i was younger!! love this posted it HAPPY NEW YEAR 2022 if you come back to IL or Indiana Id come to concert !! There is such a wide variety of venues large medium and smaller now! Be at peace. im that woman PAM .. that you wanted to see..!! hahahah Pam Toll PARK FOREST IL 60466
“Poor old grandad, I laughed at all his words.” Every time I hear that line, it always takes me back to times when my Mom and I would laugh so hard at the stories my 85 year old Grandpa Jim was telling. He’s extremely hilarious and acts like a child. Sure blessed that he’s still alive today and doing well. He’s like the happiest old man I know. So every time I hear this song, I usually think of him. Thank you Rod Stewart.
JaxPrice Films--That was a great story. You have your grandpa's genes, & could live to be over a hundred yrs. old. Now, think about some young PUNK not caring IF, your wonderful granddad got Covid-19? Because he knows the chances are good that he won't DIE if, he gets it, so he doesn't stay home, & doesn't wear masks? My dad died 4 yrs. ago at 100 yrs. old. He was LOVED very much by all 7 of his kids. (I'm the youngest) By all his grandkids, & his many great-grandkids. Even old neighbors that he hadn't lived by for 10 yrs. Showed up to his full military honors funeral. He was an Air-Force Pilot, & won all kinds of big-time metals, & I didn't even know about them until that day. A wonderful person who is well-loved, & has 10 yrs. shaved off their lives by this virus is tragic. It can mean that a grandchild never gets to know their wonderful grandma! Some people's lives are not more important than someone else's. JUST, because they are younger. Matter of fact, there are some YOUNG people who their death might be a good thing? We will never know who. SO, STAY SAFE! For yourself, & your marvelous grandpa.
my grandad was my world and i miss him alot. i went to war and he went to sleep on me. he knows i was with him. he was a hillbilly tobacco farmer that used horses for work. peace to you
My father in law is older now, slippin a little. The stories he told. I was privelaged enuff to meet his dad too. Stories galore. Grandma n grandpa on moms side were unique too. They all knew my dad. Small world
This song always makes me smile , cause it's TRUE & it's a great song !! I'm 61 year's old & I wished that I knew what I know now when I was younger & when I was stronger .
yeah i'm 32 now. and damn does this song hit. i dont know about you but i love how he has all these beautiful women around him and he's just jammin on the guitar doing his thing. i'm not old but i'm older now and priorities are different, passion is different. its just lovely going back in time for a moment and seeing yourself now.
I remember having a hard time in high school and my mom told me about the line from this song "I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger." We live and we learn.
Loved the vibe of this song when it came out, when I was 18 (I knew of Rod's music with The Faces but didnt really know many of The Faces' songs at the time so I had no idea this was a reworking)... The lyrics went over my head back then TBH - but 25 years on I'm now 43 with a son of my own... The line "you'll have to learn just like me, and that's the hardest way" bites really deep - and I really do wish that I knew what I know now when I was younger - but that's the way the wheel turns, isn't it?
I was in a restaurant and they were playing this song. I know most of his songs, but it was the first time I heard this song. I called the waiter and asked him about it, but he didn't know. I went home and started looking on TH-cam till I found it. I love it ❤
Serious question: If you could go back in time and re-live your life (at any instance of your existance) would you? I feel like that would be an insufferable thing to do. Cheers 👊🏻
To My Daddy, Neil! I miss you incredibly and think of you every single time I play Rod and reminisce on the good old days. I remember you sayin this songs same phrase. Love you forever Dad. X - Glen
Tell me really? What would change?. The faces may/would, but you probably (by vid), would not. New multiple wives/kids...what actually would change?...Not you :(
You know how every 80s/90s/00s(whatever age you were when you were a teen and/or in your early 20s) song that you look up on YT and go down a nostalgia trip? This song is the soundtrack to that trip.
Poor old Granddad I laughed at all his words I thought he was a bitter man He spoke of women's ways They'll trap you, then they use you before you even know For love is blind and you're far too kind Don't ever let it show I wish that I knew what I know now When I was younger. I wish that I knew what I know now When I was stronger. The can-can such a pretty show Will steal your heart away But backstage back on earth again The dressing rooms are grey They come on strong and it ain't too long For they make you feel a man But love is blind and you soon will find You're just a boy again When you want her lips, you get her cheek Makes you wonder where you are If you want some more then she's fast asleep you're just twinkling with the stars. Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say You'll have to learn, just like me And that's the hardest way, ooh la la Ooh la la, la la, yeah I wish that I knew what I know now When I was younger. I wish that I knew what I know now When I was stronger

The irony of him singing this song is insane .. he is known for hating this song and refused to sing lead vocals when he was with faces .. now singing it years later “I wish that I knew what I know now “ … perfect
My favorite Rod Stewart song by far even though it's a remake. Still grooving to this classic in 2022. Only if we knew what we know now when we were younger!
@@extramurous Yes but He did sing it live, and I thought it funny because he was nearly still a teenager.. Lyrics make more sense coming from an older man (even though he's talking about his grandad...)
I Will try to explain It in english becauase my english is very poor. Every saturday And Sunday the most important show station radio in Spain ends the program with this song. I think it is a little homenage to one of the BEST Singers un the history. Greetings from Spain

@@hozie007it was written for Rod but he'd left/was leaving the band. Ronnie Wood sings it for The Faces and legend has it the RS would not sing it until after Ronnie Lane had passed ( out of respect).
I don't care what people say he has the best voice I have ever heard, I taken a lot of criticism since I found him because I'm only 15 and a boy my age to like such someone like him means that I get the mic taken out of me. I know you probably you won't read mr Stewart but on the off chance that you do, thank you your songs have got me through a lot your a one of kind person. A diamond among men as some might say. So just thank you!!
Stick to your guns Will! Not only does Rod have a most unique voice, he absolutely crushes this song! Never apologize for having great taste! You are just ahead of your contemporaries. One day (if they are lucky) they will reach your level of musical maturity!
In the exact same position, same age and all, feel like i was born in the wrong generation! All the singers i like are dead ( George Michael , David Bowie, prince, Freddie mercury, ect) except rod! Got to hang on to it i guess
You too Georgia! Stick to the good music that you and Will have fallen in love with! You can enjoy all of the older artists while you try to sort out any potential new and upcoming artist.
Good for you, Will! Don't care what people say about Rod Stewart's voice! I was your age once...a long, long time ago! I like Rod Stewart's voice too. He is one of my favourite singers! I am so glad I am not 15 anymore! Will, it gets better. It gets way better! Life is good! LOL. Never stop being outspoken, Will, I like you...whoever and wherever you are.
Will .......never ever feel bad for having GREAT taste ,good music is good music . Nothing makes me feel better then good music and this is some of it . I want you to listen to Zeplin and The Stones , The Cure , Journey EVERYTHING including Boy George and Culture Club there will never be anything like the music of that time enjoy it 9h and please take time to listen to Lynard Skinards Simple man you'll enjoy it . I wish you the best life with the best music
As George Bernard Shaw said oh how the youth is wasted on the young! 🎶🌹🎶🌹 This song written by Ronnie Lane states just that🌹 if only I knew now what I should have known then 🌹what a different ending I would have had in my life❤ . Thank you Ronnie Lane for making such a great song about thinking older people aka wiser people don't know what they're talking about when They really do because they lived it 🎶🌎🎶🌎 I believe that song will be playing for many years to come 🎶🎶🎶❤️🎶
Now that I am becoming older I understand what he is singing about. Time goes by so very fast! I wish I knew a lot of things back in the day that I know now. Some people wish they where young again. As for me I choose to embrace aging and enjoy the wisdom it brings.
[Verse 1] Poor old Granddad, I laughed at all his words I thought he was a bitter man He spoke of women's ways They'll trap you, then they use you And before you even know For love is blind and you're far too kind Don't ever let it show [Chorus] I wish that I knew what I know now When I was younger I wish that I knew what I know now When I was stronger [Verse 2] The can-can such a pretty show It's steal your heart away But backstage back on earth again The dressing rooms are grey They come on strong and it ain't too long 'Fore they make you feel a man But love is blind and you soon will find You're just a boy again [Chorus] I wish that I knew what I know now When I was younger I wish that I knew what I know now When I was stronger Oh yeah Oh yeah Woo! Woo! [Verse 3] When you want her lips, you get her cheek Makes you wonder where you are If you want some more, then she's fast asleep Leaves you twinkling with the stars Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say You'll have to learn, just like me And that's the hardest way [Chorus] I wish that I knew what I know now When I was younger I wish that I knew what I know now When I was stronger I wish that I knew what I know now When I was younger I wish that I knew what I know now When I was stronger [Outro] Ooh la la Ooh la la, yeah yeah Ooh la la Ooh la la, yeah yeah, yeah yeah Ooh la la Ooh la la Ooh la la, yeah yeah, yeah yeah Ooh la la
I really don't know which version I prefer, Rod Stewart or Ronnie Wood. They're both awesome versions but I do understand why they decided to release the Ronnie Wood version as it was the best to a lot of people, but I really can't decide. I'm more on the side rod to be fair
Heh..I love this song. I also love that it's universal appeal comes from the chorus line that everyone remembers, instead of the rest of the song where the singer is lamenting their troubles with women :).

Ronnie Lane, Ronnie Wood, Ian and Kenny Jones brought me here...
Ronald Brown Lives in Kissimmee. He said he does not know him. just WORLD BE FREE
Viejo verde! XD
But Ron Wood sang it better
Ronnie Wood can sing? You'll be telling me next that pigs can fly.
Rod Stewart and Ron Wood re-recorded the song Ooh La La as a tribute to Faces bassist Ronnie Lane, who died of multiple sclerosis in 1997.
Passing by because of my guitar lesson.
Want to see a real amateur's lame attempt at this one? Stop on over, show ya how not to do it!

Patricia Wright Thank you so much!! You are very sweet and kind. Much respect to your old man who made it to 100! That’s really incredible!
my grandad was my world and i miss him alot. i went to war and he went to sleep on me. he knows i was with him. he was a hillbilly tobacco farmer that used horses for work. peace to you
Pay close attention. That man is dropping gems. Glad you have him around to guide you. I wish I was close with my grandfathers
Enjoy every minute w/him!
He released this so it might add some money to the Ronnie Lane estate
My father in law is older now, slippin a little. The stories he told. I was privelaged enuff to meet his dad too. Stories galore. Grandma n grandpa on moms side were unique too. They all knew my dad. Small world

Excellent song. I can almost hear Grandpa,he would love this song
The message here is that Rod now regrets refusing to sing on the original version in 1973. He wishes he knew what he knows now etc.
Maybe the message here is that Rod regrets hanging out with Britt Eckland at the time. 💸💸💸
I remember having a hard time in high school and my mom told me about the line from this song "I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger." We live and we learn.
My absolute favorite of all his songs ❤️
Found this from Andy Guitar and immediately fell in love with this song. T_T
Same. Such a great song!
I still love the original best by Rod's old group, Faces
That line in this song "I wish that I knew what I know now when I was younger"! That sure applies to all of our lives in certain situations and etc.
Yeah
ABSOLUTELY 💯%!!!!!! "AGREE"!!!👍👍👍👍
Oh yes.
you all got it twisted. i wish i didn't know now what i didn't know then. i would be a better happier person
+Kilgore Trout True!👍
Watching on Saint Patrick's Day 2024.
Good to know others watching this too. I listen often

I've heard a ton of cover versions of Ooh La La, but only Sir Rod Stewart can sing his songs the best!
Well, he was in the band that did this song, but he didn't write or sing it, so this is a cover.
My uncle used to take me to the arcades and and let me jam to this in the metro on our way over to them in his mint Sony walkmann ooooweee
I was in a restaurant and they were playing this song.
I know most of his songs, but it was the first time I heard this song.
I called the waiter and asked him about it, but he didn't know.
I went home and started looking on TH-cam till I found it.
I love it ❤
The chorus "I WISH THAT I KNEW WHAT I KNOW NOW WHEN I WAS YOUNGER" says it all ...........
Words of wisdom
Jeremy, James and Richard.....brought me here :)))
The world is a better place with Rod in it
Serious question: If you could go back in time and re-live your life (at any instance of your existance) would you? I feel like that would be an insufferable thing to do. Cheers 👊🏻
2020 ANYONE ENJOY....
I love all of Rod Stewarts music. The man still has class. A fan forever from Canada. 🇨🇦🌈🦋😀
This guy's married to a supermodel and (apparently) never ages.
Some guys have all the luck.
I see what you did there. ;) lol
Nice one. Thinking the money and the super models extend his youth.
Lol, good one. I like that
Like he said...blondes have more FUN.
To My Daddy, Neil! I miss you incredibly and think of you every single time I play Rod and reminisce on the good old days. I remember you sayin this songs same phrase. Love you forever Dad. X - Glen
Celtic 💚🤍💚🤍💚
Rod is the best👍✅
Poor old Ronnie Wood is forgotten now, yet, he sang and wrote the original song.
Loser
LMFAO
mmmm Ronnie Lane
Boy don't we all wish ❤
Who’s here from Daisy Jones and the Six? Just me? 😂
This song is happy and melancholic at the same time. Like an afternoon wedding in spring.
The best always are IMO
Beautiful!
What the hell has Spring or at any time of day to do with it?
Perfectly said
@@nattyboyo2404spring is the time for new love but getting married means no more playing the field. I knew what he was saying
All men should REALLY listen to the words in this song….
Tell me really? What would change?. The faces may/would, but you probably (by vid), would not. New multiple wives/kids...what actually would change?...Not you :(
Thy Rod Stewart and thy staff comfort me 🍮🍲📚🎥
Only Ronnie Wood can sing this properly
Err... Woody can't sing!
I always thought that he was saying: Would I lie? Would I lie? Yeah Yeah Yeah
You know how every 80s/90s/00s(whatever age you were when you were a teen and/or in your early 20s) song that you look up on YT and go down a nostalgia trip? This song is the soundtrack to that trip.
Love to you Brits from here in Canada! haha this guy is a geat soul.
Absolutely love Rod Stewart always...
Poor old Granddad I laughed at all his words
I thought he was a bitter man
He spoke of women's ways
They'll trap you, then they use you before you even know
For love is blind and you're far too kind
Don't ever let it show
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger.
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger.
The can-can such a pretty show
Will steal your heart away
But backstage back on earth again
The dressing rooms are grey
They come on strong and it ain't too long
For they make you feel a man
But love is blind and you soon will find
You're just a boy again
When you want her lips, you get her cheek
Makes you wonder where you are
If you want some more then she's fast asleep
you're just twinkling with the stars.
Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say
You'll have to learn, just like me
And that's the hardest way, ooh la la
Ooh la la, la la, yeah
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger.
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger
Gracias!
Many thanks
so true, the chorus .... I wish that I knew......
I've got a little nugget of half assed fool wisdom if you're looking. Power changes hands like the seasons. Try not to sell your soul for it.
Poor old grand-dad
I laughed at all his words
I thought he was a bitter man

Great song Rod Rules, deserves that new Lamborghini 👏 👌
Excellent I've got to learn and cover this 👌 👍

My favorite Rod Stewart song by far even though it's a remake. Still grooving to this classic in 2022. Only if we knew what we know now when we were younger!
Remake of a song that HE sang with the Faces.
I seen ashibwa over in did you see it?
@@SpaceCowboy1964 - Stewart didn't sing this song on the Faces album, Ron Wood did. The song was written by Ronnie Lane and Ron Wood.
This is a great song! But my almost favorite is forever young. The dedicated to my children who our adults
@@extramurous Yes but He did sing it live, and I thought it funny because he was nearly still a teenager.. Lyrics make more sense coming from an older man (even though he's talking about his grandad...)

I Will try to explain It in english becauase my english is very poor. Every saturday And Sunday the most important show station radio in Spain ends the program with this song. I think it is a little homenage to one of the BEST Singers un the history. Greetings from Spain
Your English is excellent, much better than my Spanish.
Es genial e hizo muchas grandes canciones en vivo la vida y ser amigo feliz. 😀
Yeah, I never listened to The Faces much, but this is definitely their most popular song
Written by Ronnie Lane RIP
Wasnt this song written played and sung by Ronnie (s)?
yes
Co-written by Wood and Lane, original album version is sung by Ron Wood after Lane and Stewart versions were each rejected by themselves.
Si.
Without A Paddle brought me here.. haha thank youu
Do you play Ping Pong
Love it, like most of his work! In my opinion the greatest artist!
THERE IS A WHOLE WORLD WAITING OUT THERE
Poor old Granddad, I laughed at all his words
I thought he was a bitter man
He spoke of women's ways
They'll trap you when they use you
Before you even know
For love is blind and you're far to kind
Don't ever let it show
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger
The can-can such a pretty show
Will steal your heart away
But backstage back on earth again
The dressing rooms are grey
They come on strong and it ain't too long
For they make you feel a man
But love is blind and you soon will find
You're just a boy again
When you want her lips, you get her cheek
Makes you wonder where you are
If you want some more then she's fast asleep
Leaves you twinkling with the stars
Poor young grandson there's nothing I can say
You'll have to learn, just like me
And that's the hardest way
Ooh la la
Ooh la la, la la, yeah
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Rod Stewart.... One of the best
There’s so much wisdom in this song, and it’s catchy af. You gotta wonder if it was divinely inspired
Another great song by Rod Stewart. He is an iconic legend
Ronnie Lane. (Faces) wrote it. Rip.
and Ronnie Wood
@@hozie007it was written for Rod but he'd left/was leaving the band. Ronnie Wood sings it for The Faces and legend has it the RS would not sing it until after Ronnie Lane had passed ( out of respect).
Whether Rod refused to sing it out of respect I don't know, but he did sing it eventually as a tribute.
I really wish I could see some of the awesome scenes from the movie " Without a Paddle" with this song... It would be so perfect.
Without a Paddle…….fucking classic
This is one of his best he doesn't sing it enough ❤
If he only had sang the original..........like he was supposed to. Luckily Ronnie crushed it!
Andrew sent me
Anyone listening in 2022
I don't care what people say he has the best voice I have ever heard, I taken a lot of criticism since I found him because I'm only 15 and a boy my age to like such someone like him means that I get the mic taken out of me. I know you probably you won't read mr Stewart but on the off chance that you do, thank you your songs have got me through a lot your a one of kind person. A diamond among men as some might say. So just thank you!!
Stick to your guns Will! Not only does Rod have a most unique voice, he absolutely crushes this song! Never apologize for having great taste! You are just ahead of your contemporaries. One day (if they are lucky) they will reach your level of musical maturity!
In the exact same position, same age and all, feel like i was born in the wrong generation! All the singers i like are dead ( George Michael , David Bowie, prince, Freddie mercury, ect) except rod! Got to hang on to it i guess
You too Georgia! Stick to the good music that you and Will have fallen in love with! You can enjoy all of the older artists while you try to sort out any potential new and upcoming artist.
Good for you, Will! Don't care what people say about Rod Stewart's voice! I was your age once...a long, long time ago! I like Rod Stewart's voice too. He is one of my favourite singers! I am so glad I am not 15 anymore! Will, it gets better. It gets way better! Life is good! LOL. Never stop being outspoken, Will, I like you...whoever and wherever you are.
Will .......never ever feel bad for having GREAT taste ,good music is good music . Nothing makes me feel better then good music and this is some of it . I want you to listen to Zeplin and The Stones , The Cure , Journey EVERYTHING including Boy George and Culture Club there will never be anything like the music of that time enjoy it 9h and please take time to listen to Lynard Skinards Simple man you'll enjoy it . I wish you the best life with the best music
As George Bernard Shaw said oh how the youth is wasted on the young! 🎶🌹🎶🌹 This song written by Ronnie Lane states just that🌹 if only I knew now what I should have known then 🌹what a different ending I would have had in my life❤ . Thank you Ronnie Lane for making such a great song about thinking older people aka wiser people don't know what they're talking about when They really do because they lived it 🎶🌎🎶🌎 I believe that song will be playing for many years to come 🎶🎶🎶❤️🎶
I wish that I had listened to my grandfather and my dad when I was younger and we think they no nothing we no best
Now that I am becoming older I understand what he is singing about. Time goes by so very fast! I wish I knew a lot of things back in the day that I know now. Some people wish they where young again. As for me I choose to embrace aging and enjoy the wisdom it brings.
I would not trade this wisdom for anything. I'm am so grateful I will die knowing
[Verse 1]
Poor old Granddad, I laughed at all his words
I thought he was a bitter man
He spoke of women's ways
They'll trap you, then they use you
And before you even know
For love is blind and you're far too kind
Don't ever let it show
[Chorus]
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger
[Verse 2]
The can-can such a pretty show
It's steal your heart away
But backstage back on earth again
The dressing rooms are grey
They come on strong and it ain't too long
'Fore they make you feel a man
But love is blind and you soon will find
You're just a boy again
[Chorus]
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Woo!
Woo!
[Verse 3]
When you want her lips, you get her cheek
Makes you wonder where you are
If you want some more, then she's fast asleep
Leaves you twinkling with the stars
Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say
You'll have to learn, just like me
And that's the hardest way
[Chorus]
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger
[Outro]
Ooh la la
Ooh la la, yeah yeah
Ooh la la
Ooh la la, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Ooh la la, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Ooh la la
Jammy bastard's 75, what a life he's had and still looking great.
I really don't know which version I prefer, Rod Stewart or Ronnie Wood. They're both awesome versions but I do understand why they decided to release the Ronnie Wood version as it was the best to a lot of people, but I really can't decide. I'm more on the side rod to be fair
Never heard a better voice. Love ooh la-la
One of my favourite Faces songs, written by the late great Ronnie Lane. This is a really good version, but I still prefer Ronnie’s version.
Love that he refused to record this song back in the day so Ronnie sang it and it became a hit
like the song after all
Notes I read were he sang it but didn't like his version. Ronnie sang it and didn't like his, so Glyn Johns had Ron sing it.
@@sailorr4287 You are right: finally it was Ron Wood's version that was published, because the two previous were not satisfying
Wrong.
This has to be my favorite Rod Stewart song of all time
+Geoff Thomas its a cover
@@ssalvisburg1356 funny enough its a cover from a band that he was a part of.
Heh..I love this song. I also love that it's universal appeal comes from the chorus line that everyone remembers, instead of the rest of the song where the singer is lamenting their troubles with women :).
Love playing this song on guitar....
