I was a junior in high school when this song came out......every house party had this song on the turn table....the 70’s were just an amazing decade for rock music
Brad, you're 16, you're girlfriend just dumped you. You're heart broken, you walk into your room and this song starts playing. You're alone, tell me this wouldn't bring tears to your tender young heart.
Or if you’re 17 and just joined the service and your girl breaks up with right before basic training… yeah, I cried. Glad now though. She wasn’t “THE ONE”!
I don't even need a scenario. Danny McCaffrey's voice is oozing pain and heartache in this song. One of the finest vocal performances ever,in my opinion.
"Are we supposed to enjoy, or empathize?" Little of both, I think Brad. There is beauty in pain, and it is certainly beautifully sung and performed. Songs like these are paeans, art that honors the experiences of life, rather than just straight pain. It is like the bittersweetness and beauty of autumn, which is beauty in death.
Lex with the stank face; represents all of us listening to this when it came out. Straw in his mouth🤣...brilliant, as usual. "Hair of the Dog," the song 🙏. Best drunk teenage song ever, lol (70's)
Love hurts, love scars, Love wounds, and marks, Any heart, not tough, Or strong, enough To take a lot of pain, Take a lot of pain Love is like a cloud Holds a lot of rain Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts I'm young, I know, But even so I know a thing, or two I learned, from you I really learned a lot, Really learned a lot Love is like a flame It burns you when its hot Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts Some fools think of happiness Blissfulness, togetherness Some fools fool themselves I guess They're not foolin me I know it isn't true, I know it isn't true Love is just a lie, Made to make you blue 🎶 Love hurts, ooh,ooh love hurts Ooh,ooh love hurts I know it isnt true, I know it isnt true Love is just a lie, Made to make you blue Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts Ooh ooh love hurts Ooh ooh...
Yep. Reminds me of my first love. I learned a lot, I loved her a lot, and it hurt a lot. She's always part of who I am, forever, regardless of what came after. Songs of our generation. 🤟
This song is a classic! Most people know this version but originally the Everyly Brothers recorded it and was written by Boudleaux Bryant. I am partial to this version myself ;) thx for sharing Brad & Lex :)
I am partial to Gram Parsons version with Emmylou Harris on harmony vocals from 1973’s Grevious Angel album. Nazareth’s version is a good rock take on the song for sure
Used to play this song in a cover band back in the 80s. We actually had a singer that could sing this almost as flawlessly. Nobody can sing like this dude though!
Right on. I seen them in the early 70's when they came to Canada. They played in a bar that held about 200 souls. Cost 2 bucks to get in and beer was 50 cents. Last year of high school. They rocked the place.
@@bishopswoodcrafts that's correct, my bad I went with the auto spell this morning, but before I'd had a full cup of coffee. I'm pretty sure McCaffrey is actually a pro football player. Though I've given up pro sports since they went over the full commie scum cliff
Dan Mcafferty has such a unique voice. And Nazareth have some tremendous songs to check out. This Flight Tonight, Bad Bad Boy, Broken Down Angel, Shanghai'd in Shanghai, My White Bicycle
Nazareth covered the Everly Brothers. "Love Hurts" is a song written and composed by the American songwriter Boudleaux Bryant. First recorded by the Everly Brothers in July 1960, the song is most well known from the 1974 international hit version by Scottish hard rock band Nazareth and 1975 Top 5 hit in the UK by English singer Jim Capaldi.
This is my mother's favourite song! One of Axl Rose favourite singers, he even wanted him to sing at his wedding, later Guns N' Roses covered "Hair of the Dog", a song by Nazareth. Loved the vid!
"Last night... we got to see, in my opinion, one of the world's more underrated rock n' roll bands. And uh... ya know we're getting a lot of comparisons to like Aerosmith and shit, but if it wasn't for Dan McCafferty and Nazareth I wouldn't be singing. I used to lock myself in the bathroom and try to hit those notes in Love Hurts, ya know? And the only way I was able to do that was by practising with Unleashed in the East. So, I had to sing Judas Priest just so I could sing Nazareth - I don't understand that exactly..." --> AXL ROSE
Gotta love Lex with her unique observation about him singing through his teeth! I've been listening to this song for over 45 years, and I've never even noticed that...until Lex said it! Rock on Lex!
Nazareth rocks. Hair of the dog is such a great album. Every song is a banger. He has a great voice. Total heavy-metal vocals. And you notice he’s got that Axl Rose scratchiness to his voice. This song is actually a cover for the Everly Brothers wrote
I saw Nazareth open for Deep Purple at the Anaheim Convention Center, in California, some time in 1975, they played so loud and I and most everyone else seemed to me on "Angel Dust!" I think it was a great concert.
Thank you soooo much for doing Nazareth, this band was one of my favourites back in the day ever since i got my hands on loud and proud. and shout out to jason lusk really good choice there. no one ever remembers this great under estimated group.
I absolutely love how Lex sees, hears, and feels the music. And even better when she explains it to Brad and he just has this lost puppy dog look on his face. Haha Ya'll are awesome!
I was 14 when this came out... Classic rock ballad.. Still just as good today as it was back then.. This is a very interesting band so many different sounds.. Take a look at the no mean city, and the Fool circle albums..
Nazareth had such great covers! This Flight Tonight, Morning Dew, and Woke Up This Morning are more examples! Love Hurts is off one of the most iconic albums of the time, fantastic vocals and guitar work.
This guy has had his heart shattered. Old song from the past. I cried when i heard it because if you say you never got your heart broken, then your a liar
I remember slow dancing to this song at roller rink sock hops as a young teen. When you're a kid, time seems to move in slow motion, but in the blink of an eye, you're a 60-year-old man.
Got to see them in concert too. A guy nobody ever heard of opened named Vic Vergat and got booed at first until he started playing, by the time his set was done he had the crowd wrapped around his fret board. He ROCKED!!! Joe Perry Project was next and they sucked, they got booed off the stage and the crowd started chanting for Vic Vergat! Nazareth did their set and blew the roof off. When they came out for the encore they brought Vic Vergat out to play with them and the crowd went insane!!! It was a night to remember.
I can't believe I keep watching these, but I gotta say I am so amazed by Lex's almost always totally accurate and interesting observations and comments. That girl is soul with a brain.
This was THE SONG at the skating rink when I was in school. Teenagers all have broken hearts. It floods back when you hear a song, doesn’t it? Thanks for the fun. Great job.
The Everly Brothers originally recorded their version in 1960. Nazareth released their cover in 1975. Roy Orbison released his cover in 1962. If you've never heard Roy Orbison you're in for a treat.
OMG!. I remember once when my heart was broken, I would play this song over, and over!. Everybody can relate to this song. Another great classic by Nazareth is "Love Leads To Madness" from their "2XS" album.
Haven't heard this song in over 30 years maybe more but this song is iconic it was huge in the 70s the singer has a very unique voice and you can feel all the pain in his voice
I bought this album the day I heard it and was happy with the rest of the album. It’s been covered by country to classic and been on movie soundtracks a truly timeless song for us people who were around when it came out. I pray you never suffer the pain word can’t describe sung in this song.
The dude is pouring out his pain. That's why he's using those expressions. Some people can listen to the song and let this dude put their pain into words. That's why it was Certified Gold in the United States. Do you dig Brad?
Man I miss seeing music live at least once a month someone good was playing within driving distance in the 70s be 62 Nov 22. Never stop listening to music and your sole will never die
That focus he does with his mouth regulate the air that fuels his voice. There are many who use that technique! This is a cover, it’s an older song recorded by many in different styles. This is very 70s, released in the 60s by the Everly Brothers and by Joan Jett in 1990.
Hey Brad & Lex..Just joined in.. enjoying watching you ...Dan McCafferty was a great singer for Nazareth from Scotland. He recently passed away... he is and will be greatly missed by all.. I've seen them several times live through the decades. A very great studio and live band. They have 42 albums to date...I'm sure there will be more to come in the near future. Thanks ..Keep It Up
I always thought the idea of the song was that love is both wonderful and painful. Sometimes it's even so wonderful that it can be painful, in a way. How your heart can ache when separated, or after a fight, that sort of thing. Whatever the interpretation, always loved this version of the song and Nazareth in general. I will recommend a different cover song of theirs, one that I feel is underrated: My White Bicycle. There's something extra joyous about Nazareth's version of the song compared to the original (by Tomorrow).
I've been listening to this album since I was a child and my mom had it. When I was 13, an older neighbor boy gave me his copy. I LOVE this album so much. Deeper cuts that are amazing and two of my favorites are Changin' Times and Whiskey Drinkin' Woman.
Hi Brad and Lex, Nazareth are a Scottish rock band formed in Dunfermline, Scotland in 1968, the lead singer is Dan McCafferty, he's now 76 years old and still performing today as a solo artist, he retired as Nazareth's lead singer in 2013, Nazareth themselves are very much still performing today with a different lead singer, I'm from Scotland myself!! 😀 😀 Hair of the Dog, and This Flight Tonight by Nazareth are worth checking out as well 😀 😀
Absolutely, Couldn't agree more, Phenomenal singer, One of Scotland's finest, I'm Scottish myself and was brought up on Nazareth ,Phenomenal band 😀😀🤘🤘🎸🎸 Nazareth formed in Dunfermline, Scotland, in 1968 😀😀 May Dan McCafferty Rest In Peace 1945-2022 🙏🙏
This was My Song back in 1977, had a girlfriend who was from Ireland and she moved back there. Couldn't Stop Listening to this Song ☹️😢 Even today I still Wonder what would've happened if I moved back to Ireland with her! 💜
Yayyy Naz! They are from my own home town Dunfermline in Scotland. Welcome to Dunfermline Rock. Iain Anderson lead singer of Jethro Tull is also from here, then after Naz came The Skids and then my own favourites heroes and friends, Big Country. Nazareth are friends of my family too, often turning up at the pub at the bottom of our street where my Mum worked completely out of the blue with a truck full of gear to play a set.
this was one of the first hard rock albums i bought as a teenager back in 76. I still have the first 3 of Nazareth's albums. I think this song was first recorded by the Everly Brothers. Another of my favorites from Nazareth is "Night Woman"
*In the mid 70's we skated to this song at The Skating Rink in Jacksonville, Florida :) Fun Fun Fun... The Rubber Leg & skating backwards was Awesome :)*
The Everly Brothers version is "We broke up and she returned my class ring, oh bummer." Nazareth's is "She tore my heart out, I'm suffering terribly, and I may never love again."
One of many awesome songs from the "Hair of the Dog" album... most people aren't mentioning it, but "Please Don't Judas Me" from that album is one of those 'mind journey' type songs that will pull you in with it's almost mystic flavor and complete immersion in sound.
I think it's about something that most, if not all, of us have been through. When "love" disappoints and hurts. "I know it isn't true, I know it isn't true, whoooo whooo love hurts". He's been hurt by love, but doesn't want to believe that all love will end that way. I've been there, done that.
This song was a mega hit and love his voice and the song and how he sings it . these groups had talent, I was a kid and didnt know much about love, but he was on a roller coaster ride. and depends on what you have gone through . Love is good to me but dont mean others have not had other experiences
A must listen to song by Nazareth is “This Flight Tonight,” which was originally written by Joni Mitchell. This song, Love Hurts, was stable in the pool hall I used to go to with friends and cousins before we were old enough to get into the bars. We’d play air guitar with our pool cues between shots.
Yea', Lex is exactly right'''''' he sings through his teeth', damn''', I never thought of that', and I've been listening to Nazareth since the mid 70's
Focus how it makes YOU feel, not on the singer's pain. He's just the vessel bringing it to us. Focus on the words, the emotion in his voice, & relate it toward your own personal life. That's music 101.
I was a junior in high school when this song came out......every house party had this song on the turn table....the 70’s were just an amazing decade for rock music
@James Buckingham
No offense to the Everley Bros, but this is the version, indisputable, uncontestable, irrefutable, undeniable!
@James Buckingham this version is the superior version
It was also a decade of amazing house parties.
Me too. This was our Junior Prom Song.
Brad, you're 16, you're girlfriend just dumped you. You're heart broken, you walk into your room and this song starts playing. You're alone, tell me this wouldn't bring tears to your tender young heart.
Exactly. If you're in the middle of it at that moment, you'll agree with everything he's saying.
Agreed!
Or if you’re 17 and just joined the service and your girl breaks up with right before basic training… yeah, I cried. Glad now though. She wasn’t “THE ONE”!
I don't even need a scenario. Danny McCaffrey's voice is oozing pain and heartache in this song. One of the finest vocal performances ever,in my opinion.

"Now your messin with".... Lol Was a great anthum.. :)
I'm shocked you didn't start with Hair of the Dog. You have to do that one next.
Just happy they got started on some Nazareth.

The whole Hair of the Dog album is stoopid good! A classic.
Whiskey drinking woman, Please don't Judas me, Miss Misery, Holiday and more 🎶 Nazareth rocks
Let’s not forget beggars day!
@@rickclark8657 too many good ones to list ✌
Miss misery!!!
Love hurts, love scars,
Love wounds, and marks,
Any heart, not tough,
Or strong, enough
To take a lot of pain,
Take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud
Holds a lot of rain
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts
I'm young, I know,
But even so
I know a thing, or two
I learned, from you
I really learned a lot,
Really learned a lot
Love is like a flame
It burns you when its hot
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts
Some fools think of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess
They're not foolin me
I know it isn't true,
I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie,
Made to make you blue
🎶
Love hurts, ooh,ooh love hurts
Ooh,ooh love hurts
I know it isnt true,
I know it isnt true
Love is just a lie,
Made to make you blue
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts
Ooh ooh love hurts
Ooh ooh...
Thanks man!
Never a truer word. :-(
Yep. Reminds me of my first love. I learned a lot, I loved her a lot, and it hurt a lot. She's always part of who I am, forever, regardless of what came after.
Songs of our generation. 🤟
Lex is gonna flip when you do their song "Hair of the Dog"

I also like the Jim Capaldi version too. The song is great enough for anyone to sing it and sound special.
Gram Parsons’ version for the win.
@@flyingburritobro68 guess I need to listen to that one too then lol ;)
nazareth has tons of great music. one of my favorite bands. One of the greatest underrated vocalists and bands

Oh man, YES for both!! Miss Misery is so freaking good! and Changin' Times!
Just do the whole album.
On my TH-cam channel i do reaction videos while i smoke weed😈😈
Right on Damon...Beggars Day also...If this is Heaven, then I'm in Hell...
Patti Smith - Because The Night needs to be on your radar for the next 70's track.
This is an Everly Brothers cover, but I've always preferred Nazareth's version.
Also Roy Orbison did a version, not bad but Nazareth's is my favorite one.
I only recently found out this was a cover.
Gary Morris has a really great cover
Yeah, I'd say they flat out OWNED it, right from the start.

I like to know about the history of songs. Thanks!
This is my mother's favourite song!
One of Axl Rose favourite singers, he even wanted him to sing at his wedding, later Guns N' Roses covered "Hair of the Dog", a song by Nazareth.
Loved the vid!
You can certainly hear the influence on Axl!

Lex is FANTASTIC. 👍😎
They’re lip syncing to the recording…
The birth of the power ballad.
As well as “I’ll say goodbye to love” by The Carpenters

Started listening to Nazareth in the early 70s. Still one of my favorite bands. Listen to This Flight Tonight. You'll get it.
' Star ' and ' this flight tonite ' are just a couple of gems this band does as well. Great band, grossly underrated
“Woke Up This Morning” by Nazareth is one of my favorites.
I second all the "Hair of The Dog". My fave Nazareth song, cause when provoked or used, I'm definitely a SOB!
Moonlight eyes is a hidden gem by Nazareth. I love this band.
I absolutely love how Lex sees, hears, and feels the music. And even better when she explains it to Brad and he just has this lost puppy dog look on his face. Haha Ya'll are awesome!

What do expect from someone who was raised in a dark basement. Therefore he has the personality of mold. That's my guy though.

Hi Brad and Lex, Nazareth are a Scottish rock band formed in Dunfermline, Scotland in 1968, the lead singer is Dan McCafferty, he's now 76 years old and still performing today as a solo artist, he retired as Nazareth's lead singer in 2013, Nazareth themselves are very much still performing today with a different lead singer, I'm from Scotland myself!! 😀 😀
Hair of the Dog, and This Flight Tonight by Nazareth are worth checking out as well 😀 😀
Back in the day this song was an worldwide hit.
What was funny was the fans who had only heard this song, then went to their live shows. Because their music was hard rock, this was the exception.
Whiskey drinkin woman is another great one - PEACE LOVE n HIPPYNESS!
This is a great Everly Brothers song that never charted until Nazareth did it with such passion
they have so many bangers !! HAIR OF THE DOG-TURN ON YOUR RECEIVER-RAZAMANAZ-BAD BAD BOY-BROKEN DOWN ANGEL
RIP Dan. One of the greatest rock singers of all time.
Absolutely, Couldn't agree more, Phenomenal singer, One of Scotland's finest, I'm Scottish myself and was brought up on Nazareth ,Phenomenal band 😀😀🤘🤘🎸🎸
Nazareth formed in Dunfermline, Scotland, in 1968 😀😀
May Dan McCafferty Rest In Peace

*In the mid 70's we skated to this song at The Skating Rink in Jacksonville, Florida :) Fun Fun Fun... The Rubber Leg & skating backwards was Awesome :)*
Nice Choice ! This song and the singer are divine !
Love Nazareth. "Love Hurts" is a Everly Brothers song from 1960, but I like Nazareths version much better
The Everly Brothers version is "We broke up and she returned my class ring, oh bummer." Nazareth's is "She tore my heart out, I'm suffering terribly, and I may never love again."
Really need to check out Jet Lag or Silver Dollar Forger from their Rampant album. 100% bangers!
I was 9 when my sister brought the album home. I loved that song
Try hair of the dog also Triumph Lay it on the line and Tesla Love Song Live!
One of many awesome songs from the "Hair of the Dog" album... most people aren't mentioning it, but "Please Don't Judas Me" from that album is one of those 'mind journey' type songs that will pull you in with it's almost mystic flavor and complete immersion in sound.
I think it's about something that most, if not all, of us have been through. When "love" disappoints and hurts. "I know it isn't true, I know it isn't true, whoooo whooo love hurts". He's been hurt by love, but doesn't want to believe that all love will end that way. I've been there, done that.
Fond memories of slow dancing at the school dance, two souls lost in the song, holding on, never wanting it to end. Thanks for sharing!
This song was a mega hit and love his voice and the song and how he sings it . these groups had talent, I was a kid and didnt know much about love, but he was on a roller coaster ride. and depends on what you have gone through . Love is good to me but dont mean others have not had other experiences
A must listen to song by Nazareth is “This Flight Tonight,” which was originally written by Joni Mitchell. This song, Love Hurts, was stable in the pool hall I used to go to with friends and cousins before we were old enough to get into the bars. We’d play air guitar with our pool cues between shots.
Always love her reaction.. she knows great music when she hears it. Danny Mac... a voice like no other.
This song goes back to 1960. Written by Boudleaux Bryant who also wrote other big hits for the Everly Brothers with his wife.
I really love hanging with you guy's. You play my music. Well the great Rock n Metalhead music. Thank you two. 🐊🌴🌞
Boudleaux Bryant (1920-87) wrote the song. He and his wife Felice (1925-2003) wrote most of the early hits of the Everly Brothers.
Just waiting for Lex to compare his voice to a melted lizard basking in the sun or something 😂
Best comment EVER! 😂
Yeah or it sounds like driving over a gravelly road during a rain storm while eating a sandwich 🤔
@@frankrizzo4460 PB&J or BLT?
@@Escapee5931 Both 🤔😁
😝
OMG - Brad swayed! Lex, you're having an impact!
Yea', Lex is exactly right'''''' he sings through his teeth', damn''', I never thought of that', and I've been listening to Nazareth since the mid 70's
Focus how it makes YOU feel, not on the singer's pain. He's just the vessel bringing it to us. Focus on the words, the emotion in his voice, & relate it toward your own personal life. That's music 101.
Love the solo it just serves the song and nothing more.
