I want to tell you THANK YOU for helping my students. I teach at a Community College (one of my classes was high school students taking college classes). When we returned from Thanksgiving break, I was notified that one of my students in that class was killed in a car accident (16 years old). When we returned to class, I had to inform everyone of the loss. From that day on, there was one empty seat (which was a daily reminder of our loss). My students had not experienced loss before (they are all 16) and sat there in utter shock. My heart broke for the loss of my student and for the 35 students sitting there not knowing what to think or what to do. I played Hurricane for them; we played it 3 times before we left that day. The song gave them solace and continues to give them solace as they continue to deal with the loss of a classmate and friend. I will be forever grateful to you Nuno, Gary, Pat, and Kevin for the comfort you gave my students through your music. I only wish I could thank you in person when I see you play in Austin in a couple of weeks. Thank you so very much for helping my students! (I have no clue if you will see this, but it was important for me to write this in the hope that you all know how much your music means to your fans and 35 high school students in my class.)
Your sentiment brought tears to my eyes, and down my face. You should write a letter to Nuno. He’s such a cool guy that I’ll bet he’d actually respond to you….
@@jhgillmd Thank you so much for your words!! I tried to find a way to reach them to thank them and wanted to thank them in person when I saw the play in Austin bit I had no luck. Maybe once day they will see this post.
@@stacie9229 melhor comentário, acrescento que seria uma tortura para essa para a xícara ao tocar nos lábios dele e não grudar pra sempre, essa boca dele é uma tentação!
Guys! This is beautiful! I needed to hear this as I am dealing with loss, change, starting a new life after 32 years marriage. So I am mourning death of mom, and the end of my marriage. The loss of my daughters yet have support of 3 sons. It really went deep into my soul. When Im crying and cant function I play this song to help me to continue this new path! Thank you guys! Another perfect masterpiece by Extreme! ❤ to you all!
Wow!...what an amazing heartfelt acoustic song. It made me cry and remember my father who passed away.🙏 Just like "More than Words", the vocal blending between Gary and Nuno is just sublime. Fantastic band who cannot just play Heavy fast Rock and Roll but can also play mellow songs with emotion. Extreme rules.👏
Dear Nuno Bettencourt, it was a pleasure to play this fantastic song for you for the SEGA Guitar week. And you were great at the Guitar awards. Greetings from the Netherlands!
So smooth and mellow. It's a perfect vocal duet with Gary and Nuno. Another outstanding track. I really like how Extreme does various styles of music so well. Cheers! ✌️
Extreme, one of the true rock 'n roll bands left, putting out fresh material, gorgeous material, like Hurricane! I have loved this band since the 80's, when we all were just kids! They need a Grammy for this song, and this album! Harmonies are always going to make a band and they've got the lushest, most beautiful toned harmonies out there! Love you, Extreme!!❤
Thank You Nuno, Gary, Pat, and Kevin. I lost my Dad in mid-May 2016, then we lost over half of Dad’s Brothers and Sisters of 10 in my Dad’s family, along with my Mom’s oldest brother, and my Wife’s uncle through 2017. To say that my grief was and still is a big part of my life is an understatement. I also am a musician and songs like this help me to release the pain. It will never truly go away, but Hurricane has helped to ease the massive emptiness I felt for 3 1/2 years after his and my Aunts and Uncles passing away after Dad. Beautiful tune. Thank You from the bottom of my heart!
A BEAUTIFUL SONG! Has hints of Blackbird. Stunning vocals and Pat and Kev play perfectly for the song! My favorite line "Is this the storm before the calm" LOVE THIS SONG AND LOVE EXTREME! 🤩😍
@@creamwobblyo Nuno nunca falou que ele era o novo EVH, que por sinal nunca foi meu guitarrista favorito. O Nuno sim. Veja as entrevistas que ele deu, desde o lançamento do Six. Fazer críticas é fácil, faça melhor,se é um dedo mindinho do gênio que é o Nuno. Deixa de ser invejoso. Deve ser feio também 😏😏
Hurricane makes me think of loved ones who are gone and makes me measure detachment. We're still pretty small when practicing this. We didn't lose anyone... because nothing is ours. We are all conscience and it never perishes. It only changes dimension, but this remoteness that our eyes can't see, hurts us too much. This song has an exceptional beauty. It is said that in other, more evolved dimensions there is a much more beautiful sound than on earth. Hurricane should come from there.
How can I ever express the depth of love and gratitude for the feelings you share with all of us through your music guys! Thank you infinitely for another Masterpiece 🤍💙🤍
OMG, reading the comments while listening the song, I was moved and touched by every story. I feel like we all are a big family around rock and roll. God bless you all, be strong in difficult times
Gentlemen - as gentle as a soft summer breeze and powerful as any force of nature. I still have tears rolling down my face. The written intro to the video helped set the stage. Thank you for something so beautiful that helped me remember...
This song has been one of my favorites from SIX since the first time I heard it. There is really nothing this band can’t do. They are mellow and beautiful but will also rock your socks off. I’m so happy to see them back and doing their best work.
after all these years, Extreme is showing everybody how to do music with energy, with quality, with commercial interest, but above all, with soul. BRAVO
I love this song ❤ Nuno's voice, guitar and sweetness are exceptional. A powerful song!!! I can't believe this song is not more popular. Hurricane must be heard. It deserves awards and honors. Bravo Extreme! The album Six is really good. Continuez comme ça
"Where the moon spills through the trees..." Thank you for this incredibly beautiful video to accompany this heartfelt song. I lost my mother much too soon and it feels like yesterday. What a beautiful thing to wake up to this morning. ❤🩹
Y'all have written and performed some great songs for almost 40 years now, and this one is one of your best yet. Heartfelt. Beautiful. Captures grief and loss in such a moving way. And, yet, helps heal those painful emotions, too. Thank you.
You are exactly right I was thinking the exact same thing beautiful song I love everything about it, I have loved listening to this band for 40 years and I love how they always reinvent their sound but yet it is still always Extreme, beautiful harmonies I look forward to hearing even more kick ass beautiful songs from these guys
This song was written by Nuno about a friend of his who passed away in a motorcycle accident. I found this out as I had the privilege of speaking with him before their concert in Atlantic City NJ, 1/27/24. What an amazing talent and such a gracious gentleman he was to my 13 year old son.
Not ashamed to say that I cried over this video and again it’s not just because @OfficiallyExtreme is my favorite band…while they’re good at writing songs that we all connect with somehow…Nuno, Gary, Pat and Kevin opened up their own personal lives with this. If you know a fraction of what I do as a fan, you know what I mean. Thank you for making it so we don’t feel alone in our loss, boys 🥺🥰🫶🏻🙏
@@bighairprayer92 they’ve each lost at least one parent. Gary and Nuno have lost both and they were very close to their moms. Nuno said he likes to envision his mom as a little girl. Pat wants to see his mom as young and healthy instead of being ravaged by cancer. I think even Kevin’s dad (who he was close to) passed before Josephine Cherone did. It’s just what I think, but because Gary was close to his mom, and she was very supportive of him, letting her go is still very painful for him.
This song put me to tears the first time I heard it, walking through the neighbourhood the morning of the release of "Six." I put my earbuds in and just went walking. I remember exactly where I was when I first heard the line, "Is this the storm before the calm?" And the tears came. It just hit me with where I was at that moment (and, to some extent, still am). I wondered what people might think if they had been looking out their front windows to see some 49-year-old guy walking along and crying. No other band has ever comes close to doing that to me the way Extreme has over the years (I doubt I'll ever get through "Everything Under the Sun" without getting emotional). After all these decades, the band is simply part of my DNA anymore. I feel so incredibly grateful that they're still active and creating masterpieces like this ... and to see the appreciation and connection from so many other wonderful people like you. . Sending my heartfelt best wishes to anyone who see this. Much love. And long live Extreme.
Allow yourself to cry, mi man. We men have always had to carry the societal burden of excess stoicism, and keeping our emotions bottled up inside. Let it all go :) At most, you'll get a hug by some big-hearted stranger!
I lost my Avó (grandma in Portuguese) last year and I have her holy rosary. Gary and his rosary really got me. Love that it was included in the video for this amazing song 🙏
@@stacie9229For this video, because it’s so deeply personal, powerful and painful while positive at the same time, it’s hard for me to see them as swoonworthy cute boy rock stars but to each her own 🥰
@@stacie9229 yes. I almost couldn’t watch it because I knew that it was supposed to represent losing his mom and knowing how he feels about her was too much!
I lost my mom in 2011 and my dad just a year later. My parents had been together almost 50 years and the loss of my mom literally broke his heart. That final year, he was just waiting to die so he could be close to my mom again. This song perfectly illustrates the feelings he went through. My parents were my best friends and even after I moved out of CA, not a day went by without talking with them. I know they both are with God and that eases the hurt from losing them. Beautiful song!
Thanks for returning! We were waiting since your first album for such so so good melodies, vocals and i can listen this song so many times! Thanks Extreme Susana
It’s a masterpiece, you are stunning. I lost my Dad, mi friends, my Mum is in poor health… I’ve got so many things to be grateful for, but I have also had shelf pain, like everyone. The only thing I can say, is a huge thank you for the smiles I make when I listen to the song and revise my memory lane or the tears I cry , depending on what I feel at the moment. Weak, strong, time helps you find a balance. Sometimes I hide in my waves as I need to leave from the present and jump into the past. Thank you guys. I really love you ❤
This is a gut wrenching song to anyone who has experienced loss. If you haven't or can't relate, consider yourself extremely lucky. We take for granted that the ones we love will always be around, but as we grow older we lose more and more. It was hard enough to listen to this song for me, but seeing the pain in Gary's eyes made me lose it. An amazingly beautiful song, emotional to watch. Love that Extreme is still grinding away making music that still affects me.
I did absolutely cry when I first heard this song. Another classic from Nuno. One of the best acoustic ballads in the last thirty years. They are so good in concert! Rock aint dead!
I cannot give this song enough likes! Extreme writes the best ballads bc they truly come from the heart! This song should be their next "More Than Words!" Like their new album hasn't already spawned a number of hits! I love this band and Nuno has moved way up on my favorite guitarists list bc he is such a damn good songwriter too!!!
This song really hit home for me, especially since I lost my dad at the end of July this year. I played this song often over the last few months. I saw Extreme in Portland at the end of August and was very glad you played this live. Nearly cried watching the video. Thanks for making a beautiful heartfelt song. I know my dad is with the Lord and not in any pain, but it doesn't make it hurt any less. The song has been a huge blessing for me.
I was in that room with you and I felt it too. Lost my mom last year and it still hurts. That concert rocked our faces off, but it was those quieter moments that really made the show memorable. Thanks Extreme for such a great night.
My condolences and you are not at all alone in this grief. Sounds cliché but we have to cherish the time we had with love ones lost. You are fortunate to have those times and whenever I hear of someone's loss, I wish I had been able to meet that person. I also keep faith that we will see them again. My mom passed from cancer at age 41 when I was 14. I'm 55 now. Almost tough to have clear memories for me but will occasionally have a dream that is so real. I guess a lot is in the subconscious. I was at that Portland show too.
I know we dont get to go through life without loss. Im sorry for your loss and pain, but this video is so powerful, and songs like Hurricane and Ghost help us to not feel as isolated and alone in our grief. The video is one of the most beautiful I've seen, and your harmonies feel nothing short of a miracle. I often cant listen to music when life is terrible... but songs like this help to heal. THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU for this video and this song 💜 💜 Julie*💜
Wow, wow, wow. There are only a few songs that bring tears. And this one certainly did now that I had a chance to really listen to the lyrics. I knew it was a beautiful song, but the meaning is so much deeper than I expected.
Vinho de excelência! Assim defino o Extreme!!! Não entendo nada de rock pesado, mas Nuno tocando parece um só com seu instrumento, sinto que toda sua alma está entregue aquele momento e eu entregue a sua performance…💝💝💝
THANKYOU EXTREME, or whoever wrote then composed this. ANYONE who has lost a loved one,fur baby or suffered a devastating loss......this rips at the soul.i reckon this is one of my favourite songs....PERIOD...
What a FANTASTIC song... Geez the feels are out of this world, and kudos for letting those tears in, you can tell they're real. Lots of love to anyone who has to deal with loss.
The vocals are off the hook, three lead singers in one band. Gary nunu and pat also got a great voice. (No one does stuff like this anymore. This is queen like 👍
I’ve lost too many people the last couple of years and everytime I feel overwhelmed I listen to this song and breathe. I cry a little bit too, but that’s ok. Thank you, guys. ❤
Remember Wholehearted? This song is the follow-up for when you lose that person that filled that hole in your heart. Those we love don't go away... ... they walk beside us everyday. Chills. What a great song.
Actually Hole Hearted is a song about Christ. Read the lyrics. Gary is a very devoted Christian. Granted you can interpret songs in many different ways but reading the lyrics this is all about trying to find happiness with material goods and ambitions but missing the one thing that can fill you. Church services teach that stuff all the time. I think I read that Gary said it was the meaning also but I would have to try and go find that.
@@likeadollseyesstatuereview3808 I agree with you on Hole Hearted and I'm not sure how Extreme meant More Than Words, but I'm firmly convinced that is what God wants from us, a relationship of active partnership that goes beyond mere words to an actual blending of hearts. I love that the passionate heart of God pursues us where we're at, exactly as we are....at a rock concert, in a cubicle, in a mansion, on a mountain top. Anywhere. Everywhere. Because we are loved. Hurricane is also in those lines. As He says, He IS the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, not past tense. ❤
@@likeadollseyesstatuereview3808, the lyrics of this song were not written by Gary, Nuno wrote this song. He wrote this song as a kind of rememberence of a friend of his that perished in a motorvehicle accident. This is factual information as I was told this by Nuno himself on 1/27/24 in Atlantic City N.J. while bullshi**ing over breakfast as they were in town for their concert with Living Colour. I will as there to catch up with Corey Glover, the singer of Living Colour. A couple friends of mine have played with him on many projects. I played some guitar, piano on some side projects with him almost 20 years ago, but I was predominatley recording and mixing the tracks in an "underground" studio in a shuburb of Manhattan.
@@potatolew4495 I gotta believe Gary had influence on the lyrics. Obviously if Nuno said that to you that’s how he remembers it. It’s some awful lyrics if that’s what it’s about lol. The Hole Hearted title might be what he had in mind many years ago but the verse lyrics read like pure Gary 1. The verses do not match up with Nuno’s story. I mean the following lyrics plus tempo of song and how its song is more hopeful then missing a dead classmate. Life's ambition occupy my time Priorities confuse the mind Happiness one step behind This inner peace I've yet to find If I'm not blind why can't I see That a circle can't fit where a square should be This heart of stone is where I hide These feet of clay kep warm inside Day by day less satisfied Not fade away before I die None of Nunos solo work is that creative lyric wise. 2. It’s the final song to the funked up fairytale. Makes no sense why it would be about that Plus it would seem to be messed up to preform it live with such fun when it’s about a dead classmate. I could be wrong but it ends the album a hopeful note along with song for love. So cool you got to hang with Nuno like that.
@@potatolew4495 Plus there was this Extreme lead singer Gary Cherone came up with an interesting heartbreak metaphor on this track: He has a hole in his heart, and there's only one who can fill it. The song though, is not about a girl, but about God. Cherone is a devout Christian, but when writing rock lyrics he didn't make that obvious. When speaking with Christian publications, he made his beliefs clear, and even quipped that he plagiarized some lyrics for "Hole Hearted" from the Bible. And Nuno said this in an interview Guitarist Nuno Bettencourt wrote the music for this track right after his new guitar arrived: his first-ever 12-string. In a Songfacts interview with Bettencourt, he told the strange story of how it happened. "I wrote it on the toilet!," he said. "I got kind of excited that I had my first 12-string, and it made me want to go to the toilet. I sat down, took my time, and dare I say, the ideas just came out. They came pouring out."
When I first listened this song, it reminded me of my mother, who passed away a year ago. This mellow, beautiful video touched my soul. Extreme, I love you guys. And I absolutely love Gary's expression, his soul❤
How does Nuno never age? He looks the same age as he did 30 years ago. Unreal! Gary, Pat and Paul still look great too. And an amazing song! These guys never disappoint.
Really surprised that the ballads on this album didn't do as the "hits". Some of the best acoustic ballads in a long bloody time.
I want to tell you THANK YOU for helping my students. I teach at a Community College (one of my classes was high school students taking college classes). When we returned from Thanksgiving break, I was notified that one of my students in that class was killed in a car accident (16 years old). When we returned to class, I had to inform everyone of the loss. From that day on, there was one empty seat (which was a daily reminder of our loss). My students had not experienced loss before (they are all 16) and sat there in utter shock. My heart broke for the loss of my student and for the 35 students sitting there not knowing what to think or what to do. I played Hurricane for them; we played it 3 times before we left that day. The song gave them solace and continues to give them solace as they continue to deal with the loss of a classmate and friend. I will be forever grateful to you Nuno, Gary, Pat, and Kevin for the comfort you gave my students through your music. I only wish I could thank you in person when I see you play in Austin in a couple of weeks. Thank you so very much for helping my students! (I have no clue if you will see this, but it was important for me to write this in the hope that you all know how much your music means to your fans and 35 high school students in my class.)
Beautiful song 😢💔❤️
🙏🏻❤
Muy triste su historia Dios mío ❤❤❤😢😢😢
Your sentiment brought tears to my eyes, and down my face. You should write a letter to Nuno. He’s such a cool guy that I’ll bet he’d actually respond to you….

the shot of Gary holding his moms hand and then poof she is gone. Right in the feels. Damn. Beautiful song.
What a gift we have received! Thank you Extreme! I cry most times I hear this song, Nuno.❤
I didn't expect to be reduced to tears at 7 this morning.
Beautiful.
Once again we have a masterful performance by a legendary band. Great vocals Nuno!
I'd love to see a behind the scenes on this one...
this sounds like a taylor swift song though.. i think it will sound 100% better if she sang instead..

Guys! This is beautiful! I needed to hear this as I am dealing with loss, change, starting a new life after 32 years marriage. So I am mourning death of mom, and the end of my marriage. The loss of my daughters yet have support of 3 sons. It really went deep into my soul. When Im crying and cant function I play this song to help me to continue this new path! Thank you guys! Another perfect masterpiece by Extreme! ❤ to you all!

Extreme has reinvented what music means. I am so proud of them and proud for them. All the success and blessings are deserved.

This was masterful!! This whole album is!! What music didn't know it needed right now!!!!!!!
Song's for everyone's parent's...there's no larger love.thank you Extreme!
Gary's vignette hit me the hardest as I think about my own mom, lost 7 1/2 years ago, and the empty space hasn't filled at all.
Watching his usually sparkling personality (especially the pain in his eyes) was crushing, I agree.
Gary’s vignette hit me hard because of my own losses and being the most familiar with his mom and the story of how close they were 🥺🥹🥰
He's so haunted there. That "wine bottle wall" is absolutely swoonworthy.
@@stacie9229For this video, because it’s so deeply personal, powerful and painful while positive at the same time, it’s hard for me to see them as swoonworthy cute boy rock stars but to each her own 🥰
@@stacie9229 yes. I almost couldn’t watch it because I knew that it was supposed to represent losing his mom and knowing how he feels about her was too much!
So Pure. So Perfect.
This album is what we fans of good rock music have been craving for so long. Best EXTREME album ever!
So beautiful. So POWERFUL. Bravo.
I lost my mom in 2011 and my dad just a year later. My parents had been together almost 50 years and the loss of my mom literally broke his heart. That final year, he was just waiting to die so he could be close to my mom again. This song perfectly illustrates the feelings he went through. My parents were my best friends and even after I moved out of CA, not a day went by without talking with them. I know they both are with God and that eases the hurt from losing them. Beautiful song!
God bless you. I have basically the same scenario over here. 50 years. Hard to know how to live without them.
This is a spot on take on grief,loss.... glad you guys never left.
The more I listen to this song the more I love it. It has a deep meaning and it shows through the singers. It is a fabulous performance!
This song,this band should have been voted in all genres with reference to music awards
Hauntingly beautiful, gave me chills...thank you guys for baring your souls in lyrics and melody. ♥️
👍🏼♥️😎
This entire album was a gift.
I love this band! Album of the Year!
Things in life are getting back to back,same thing happening with a rock music,that one that was the real rock one,from 90's. God bless.
Mercy, that hit me right in the feels. 💔😢
Excellent song from an amazing band!!!
No one melt's away...I say. Not After listening Extreme , I feel it in my Soul when Nuno plays.
Another classic! The vocal arrangement is amazing. 30+ years of Extreme music🎸🎶🤘🏼 this music was healing during a huge loss in my life ❤
Great song.
Brilliant new album
Wow, such a lovely song. harmonically and lyrically beautiful
Thanks for returning! We were waiting since your first album for such so so good melodies, vocals and i can listen this song so many times! Thanks Extreme Susana
It’s a masterpiece, you are stunning. I lost my Dad, mi friends, my Mum is in poor health… I’ve got so many things to be grateful for, but I have also had shelf pain, like everyone. The only thing I can say, is a huge thank you for the smiles I make when I listen to the song and revise my memory lane or the tears I cry , depending on what I feel at the moment. Weak, strong, time helps you find a balance. Sometimes I hide in my waves as I need to leave from the present and jump into the past. Thank you guys. I really love you ❤
Love this beautiful song ! Love the Album ! Love the Band ! 🤘
Beautiful video for a beautiful song. In these days of war and darkness, thank you for giving me a few minutes of escape.
This is a gut wrenching song to anyone who has experienced loss. If you haven't or can't relate, consider yourself extremely lucky. We take for granted that the ones we love will always be around, but as we grow older we lose more and more. It was hard enough to listen to this song for me, but seeing the pain in Gary's eyes made me lose it. An amazingly beautiful song, emotional to watch. Love that Extreme is still grinding away making music that still affects me.
I did absolutely cry when I first heard this song. Another classic from Nuno. One of the best acoustic ballads in the last thirty years. They are so good in concert! Rock aint dead!
I cannot give this song enough likes! Extreme writes the best ballads bc they truly come from the heart! This song should be their next "More Than Words!" Like their new album hasn't already spawned a number of hits! I love this band and Nuno has moved way up on my favorite guitarists list bc he is such a damn good songwriter too!!!
This song really hit home for me, especially since I lost my dad at the end of July this year. I played this song often over the last few months. I saw Extreme in Portland at the end of August and was very glad you played this live. Nearly cried watching the video. Thanks for making a beautiful heartfelt song. I know my dad is with the Lord and not in any pain, but it doesn't make it hurt any less. The song has been a huge blessing for me.
I was in that room with you and I felt it too. Lost my mom last year and it still hurts. That concert rocked our faces off, but it was those quieter moments that really made the show memorable. Thanks Extreme for such a great night.
My condolences and you are not at all alone in this grief. Sounds cliché but we have to cherish the time we had with love ones lost. You are fortunate to have those times and whenever I hear of someone's loss, I wish I had been able to meet that person. I also keep faith that we will see them again. My mom passed from cancer at age 41 when I was 14. I'm 55 now. Almost tough to have clear memories for me but will occasionally have a dream that is so real. I guess a lot is in the subconscious. I was at that Portland show too.
Thank you for that breeze of harmony & warmth. I needed it.
🎈🦋🙌🏼...really, really needed it.
I know we dont get to go through life without loss. Im sorry for your loss and pain, but this video is so powerful, and songs like Hurricane and Ghost help us to not feel as isolated and alone in our grief. The video is one of the most beautiful I've seen, and your harmonies feel nothing short of a miracle. I often cant listen to music when life is terrible... but songs like this help to heal. THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU for this video and this song 💜
💜 Julie*💜
What a beautiful song. Made me cry. Heartfelt condolences to everyone who's lost loved ones over the years.
Wow, wow, wow. There are only a few songs that bring tears. And this one certainly did now that I had a chance to really listen to the lyrics. I knew it was a beautiful song, but the meaning is so much deeper than I expected.
Vinho de excelência! Assim defino o Extreme!!! Não entendo nada de rock pesado, mas Nuno tocando parece um só com seu instrumento, sinto que toda sua alma está entregue aquele momento e eu entregue a sua performance…💝💝💝
What a beautiful song, lyrically and musically. Leave it to these amazing guys to give us this!!! Love Extreme!
THANKYOU EXTREME, or whoever wrote then composed this. ANYONE who has lost a loved one,fur baby or suffered a devastating loss......this rips at the soul.i reckon this is one of my favourite songs....PERIOD...
Such a beautiful song from an amazing band! Nuno and Gary are fantastic singers and have powerful vocals!
One of my favorites from this album!
Beautiful song and melody. Looking forward to seeing them in Feb.
I'm so glad that this band are finally getting the attention that they deserve. Amazing artists and phenomenal song writers. This song is beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful
I dare you to get to the end of this video and not hear X Out start playing in your head!
Beautiful stuff, your two voices trade off so well together!
exactly my thoughts.. was totally waiting on that opening riff from X OUT (yet another amazing song)
Thank you for giving us beautiful song, i always listening this song when i need to heal my self
I was touched by your deeply spiritual beautiful song!!!
great songwriting!!! great work!!!
What a FANTASTIC song... Geez the feels are out of this world, and kudos for letting those tears in, you can tell they're real. Lots of love to anyone who has to deal with loss.
The vocals are off the hook, three lead singers in one band. Gary nunu and pat also got a great voice. (No one does stuff like this anymore. This is queen like 👍
I’ve lost too many people the last couple of years and everytime I feel overwhelmed I listen to this song and breathe. I cry a little bit too, but that’s ok. Thank you, guys. ❤
My fave song on this excellent album ❤
Beautiful. I'm crying while listening/watching- very meaningful. Love you guys, thank you.
Vedere il Rosario tra le mani di una delle più influenti band rock del mondo, mi fa sperare in qualcosa di più profondo, di umano, di divino.
Beautiful deep song✨️ love the melody 🎼🎶 great vocal work❤
Remember Wholehearted?
This song is the follow-up for when you lose that person that filled that hole in your heart.
Those we love don't go away...
... they walk beside us everyday.
Chills. What a great song.
Actually Hole Hearted is a song about Christ. Read the lyrics. Gary is a very devoted Christian. Granted you can interpret songs in many different ways but reading the lyrics this is all about trying to find happiness with material goods and ambitions but missing the one thing that can fill you. Church services teach that stuff all the time. I think I read that Gary said it was the meaning also but I would have to try and go find that.
@@likeadollseyesstatuereview3808 I agree with you on Hole Hearted and I'm not sure how Extreme meant More Than Words, but I'm firmly convinced that is what God wants from us, a relationship of active partnership that goes beyond mere words to an actual blending of hearts. I love that the passionate heart of God pursues us where we're at, exactly as we are....at a rock concert, in a cubicle, in a mansion, on a mountain top. Anywhere. Everywhere. Because we are loved. Hurricane is also in those lines. As He says, He IS the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, not past tense. ❤
@@likeadollseyesstatuereview3808, the lyrics of this song were not written by Gary, Nuno wrote this song.
He wrote this song as a kind of rememberence of a friend of his that perished in a motorvehicle accident.
This is factual information as I was told this by Nuno himself on 1/27/24 in Atlantic City N.J. while bullshi**ing over breakfast as they were in town for their concert with Living Colour.
I will as there to catch up with Corey Glover, the singer of Living Colour. A couple friends of mine have played with him on many projects. I played some guitar, piano on some side projects with him almost 20 years ago, but I was predominatley recording and mixing the tracks in an "underground" studio in a shuburb of Manhattan.
@@potatolew4495 I gotta believe Gary had influence on the lyrics. Obviously if Nuno said that to you that’s how he remembers it. It’s some awful lyrics if that’s what it’s about lol. The Hole Hearted title might be what he had in mind many years ago but the verse lyrics read like pure Gary
1. The verses do not match up with Nuno’s story. I mean the following lyrics plus tempo of song and how its song is more hopeful then missing a dead classmate.
Life's ambition occupy my time
Priorities confuse the mind
Happiness one step behind
This inner peace I've yet to find
If I'm not blind why can't I see
That a circle can't fit where a square should be
This heart of stone is where I hide
These feet of clay kep warm inside
Day by day less satisfied
Not fade away before I die
None of Nunos solo work is that creative lyric wise.
2. It’s the final song to the funked up fairytale. Makes no sense why it would be about that
Plus it would seem to be messed up to preform it live with such fun when it’s about a dead classmate.
I could be wrong but it ends the album a hopeful note along with song for love.
So cool you got to hang with Nuno like that.
@@potatolew4495
Plus there was this
Extreme lead singer Gary Cherone came up with an interesting heartbreak metaphor on this track: He has a hole in his heart, and there's only one who can fill it. The song though, is not about a girl, but about God.
Cherone is a devout Christian, but when writing rock lyrics he didn't make that obvious. When speaking with Christian publications, he made his beliefs clear, and even quipped that he plagiarized some lyrics for "Hole Hearted" from the Bible.
And Nuno said this in an interview
Guitarist Nuno Bettencourt wrote the music for this track right after his new guitar arrived: his first-ever 12-string. In a Songfacts interview with Bettencourt, he told the strange story of how it happened. "I wrote it on the toilet!," he said. "I got kind of excited that I had my first 12-string, and it made me want to go to the toilet. I sat down, took my time, and dare I say, the ideas just came out. They came pouring out."
What a terrific, melodic song. Great vocals by Gary and Nuno. This song is the one that is so soothing for the soul. ❤😊
When I first listened this song, it reminded me of my mother, who passed away a year ago. This mellow, beautiful video touched my soul. Extreme, I love you guys. And I absolutely love Gary's expression, his soul❤
Love Nuno's Voice and guitar❤❤❤
OMG! I can NOT stop crying. Absolutely beautiful
How does Nuno never age? He looks the same age as he did 30 years ago. Unreal! Gary, Pat and Paul still look great too. And an amazing song! These guys never disappoint.
