I always loved this song, since childhood, it’s way before my time. But watching Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3 made me fall in love with it all over again.
Same...I jus saw the movie 2day and even though the movie had only snippets of the song me and homie busted out the song and damn near half the theater and the people in the song sung wit us.😅😅
I was an 11 yo kid on a flight with a window seat to Los Angeles on a Sunny afternoon the first time I heard this entire album! I think it was in 77. God, I Never knew watching a sunset from over top of the clouds could be that beautiful. I was never the same after that flight. This was now part of the soundtrack of my life. 😌 🎧 🎼 ❤️

I was a bartender at a Nightclub. The dis jockey would of played this as the last song of the night. every night if Jennifer wasn’t there or Jannifer was at another club this girl Jennifer who is still the love of my life would come back just to dance the last song of the night. Every night whether she was there or at another nightclub Jennifer always manage to be there today at this last song with. Jennifer wherever you are I’ll never forget you❤❤
As a young Jamaican "party girl" back in the 70s, this was the "party done, go on home" song. DJs use to play it as the last song and everybody knew the party was over but nobody moved because boys and girls were "tight" holding each other "rocking" to this mind-blowing song. DJs had to turn on the lights to get us to leave. Eheh.😄😃😀. Those were fun times!
@@sharontaylor6510 Yes I really like EW&F! If only I were born in the 70s for the great music, fashion and fun. Was life better back then, more carefree?
@@suediocrude9661 Yes it was. Didn't have a quarter of the stresses of today. Plus I was young and had a lot of living to do, which I did, kinda😃. As the song goes "Those were the days my friend we thought they'd never end, we'd sing and dance forever and a day.... . They ended but they were a blast!!
Congratulations to you both and you picked a perfect song, hope the two of you live long happy lives together, best of luck and best wishes from Vinny B
Philip Bailey sang this song and many other EWF hits and Maurice at co-vocals and lead , made them the best in the world - RIP Maurice White, without you, EWF would not have happened.
I lost my Daddy on 10/30/22 and this was his favorite song. He could sing and hit every note was all I could think of as a kid. Today it's the lyrics that are so meaningful to me. RIP Tim Baltimore lost a real one 💔 😔
wow this was my dad’s favorite song too and he could hit the notes too. He passed 09/26/16. I am listening to this song because it is a reminder of him
The music of EWF is Immortal...the best Music Group of all time - bar none. RIP Maurice White!! The best decade for Music was the undisputable 70's. I am musically stuck in the 70's.
My former boyfriend Eddy, aka NoGo, was the drummer in a local band called Quintessence, and this was his favorite song. He always did justice to it. Unfortunately, he died on April 2, 2024, from COPD. He was a heavy smoker who also drank. Walk good, Eddy, be at peace.🕯🕊 💐 🎶 🥁
Earth, Wind & Fire, “Reasons,” continue to grow when two people are in “Love.” Thank You, “Earth, Wind & Fire,” for “Reasons,” the emotional feelings of “Love,” yesterday, today and tomorrow……….. Keep Shining!🌞🌝👍🏼
In the 70's we were on Weekend Leave from Camp Pendelton (12) of us strong. We were at the Forum in L.A. waiting to get in to see EWF but the people at the door were holding everyone back for who knows what reason, but believe me their were Tons of People antsy and waiting in front of the door. Before you knew it, this Whole Mob of Fans Rushed the Doors and made their way in (no gun shots, no fighting, no nonsense) Just eager fans waiting to see EWF. I remember it like yesterday that the people at the door just raised their hands up in the air as if saying "the hell with it, let them in". We had a Blast that night for close to 2hrs and still up to this date I tell this story to anyone who cares to listen. What a beautiful time in life and the Music that encompassed that era as well and no other Era will ever be the same. Semper Fi all you Jarheads from that 70's Era, Before and After as well.
When I was kid I hear your music together with my cousin boyet but sadly he passed away due to alcoholism,but your music never fade. You are my earth, my wind and my fire.
My coworker was singing loud, she by herself, earbuds.. I heard her few words that chained together, all was seconds me walking by her - This the song. I smiled. I know it well. Thank you Earth Wind Fire - Reasons are alive and continue
This brings me back to a place I want to be. My teenage years in the 70s. That was such a marvelous time when all the best music ever came out. Songs that have become classics on their own and Musicians and Artists that were a dime a dozen that set the quality bar so high making most of today musicians and artists look like losers.
Damn right. The late 70s/early 80s were the best times for music ever. It had soul, talent, balls, emotion, you name it. Music of the last decade is nothing but worthless overhyped studio generated 3 chord shit performed by talentless media products. I'm glad I was a teenager then, I feel sorry for the poor fuckers now.
I was in still in elementary in the 70's but remember many, many wonderful memories of that era. Dance Fever (Deney Terrio), Carol Burnett Show, Sonny and Cher, Tom Jones Show, The Osmonds... I was 9 when I saw Star Wars (1977), walked out of the theater with my hair blown back!
I graduated high school in '75 and college '79, I came of age in the late 70's and you're right we were the lucky ones who were young and free during that fabulous decade.
4:13AM Eastern Standard Time. Listening to EWF sing Reasons. Because NOBODY else in the world gives you the feels like EWF. They were unique in the universe . . . My heart . . . This is the music of my ever enduring youth!
It's a deep dive son. So much truth and experience, heart and soul joy n pain. Truth shall always be on your path.!! Live in love.. best of all be a better man ""grasshopper "
My dad passed away in 2006 and this was one of his FAVORITE groups. He introduced me to them and no matter what I'm going through when I listen to this song it puts a smile on my face. The comment 4 years ago made me think about him and realize it's so true. Younger generations won't know about this kind of music unless someone shares it with them. Thanks dad

I was on the side of the stage with EARTH WIND and FIRE at New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival two weeks ago. No words can Express the AMAZINGNESS of their lyrics and music. I cried.
Music is iconic when it endures the test of time. It doesn't need validation from whites. Our music is our African-American heritage; a mixture of african percussions, slave spirituals, and the rock sound rooted in gospel.
@@turnthepage867 What's your problem, Ronnie? "Validation from whites"? You sound like a racist attacking a whole group of people. Is that the way you want people to perceive you? You're better than that, aren't you?
@@turnthepage867 sweetheart don’t put it that way, sounds racists. That is a nono. The been loved around the world 🌎 they are universal. Sorry honey! You so wrong.
Indeed!! I am 50 years old with brothers 60,65, and 67. I grew up listening to EWF. My mama was a Christian lady and didn't listen to alot of secular music. The 65 year old play Reasons so much until she knew it word for word...LOL!! I wished we could travel back in time.

One of my favorite EWF songs. So glad I grew up with this despite being a 90s kid. Maurice will be missed but remembered through his beautiful lyrics and music, RIP
70s had the best music so lucky to be a teen then, besides them we had ABBA, Bgees, Eagles, Elton John, Elvis, Rod Stewart, Neil Diamond, Johnny Cash, Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, Beatles sooo many more, 70s had the best music prove me wrong
Bruh I'm almost 42 and my baby girl is a heavy Curtis Mayfield fan. Lol. I'm starting her off right. Ur pops is a great man for playinh this around u. Enjoy bruh.
The reason that we're here. For the Love of God. It is why my love for everyone will never Disappear nor Disappoint . Love this Life saving song. Save mines
Back when everyone in the neighborhood had this album or 45. We all would sing along and trying our best to sing just like EWF. best time to be a kid in the 70’s and starting to like girls and figuring out how it all worked. ❤️🎶
This the song the young ones say 'What is the reason we have to listen?' .... and then have to listen and appreciate before a whoopin' cometh with a mission!
One of the greatest one night stand songs ever, Earth,wind and fire did it with class,those horns, arrangements and production Charles stephney and Maurice White rip to two creative forces,Philip Bailey tore this joint up
Thank you for mentioning Charles Stepney!! He is the sound behind all of this. And when he died prematurely the sound of EWF changed…which just lets you know how much influence Stepney had. Geniuses, all of them
I tell you I grew up on earth, wind and fire. My brothers played in bands. They always played this music brings back a lot of memories for me. A lot of good times, and a lot of loves lost. I’ll always be grateful to earth, wind, and fire for bringing their music and their sound to my life. Thank you for all the wonderful years.
Legendary 😮💨🔥
Iconic this group is forever ❤😂
I always loved this song, since childhood, it’s way before my time. But watching Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3 made me fall in love with it all over again.

Now, I'm craving your body
Is this real?
Temperatures rising
I don't want to feel
I'm in the wrong place to be real
Whoa, when I'm longing to love you
Just for a night
Kissing and hugging
And holding you tight
Please let me love you
With all my might
Reasons
The reasons that we're here
The reasons that we fear
Our feelings won't disappear
Oooh, and after the love game
Has been played
All our illusions
Were just a parade
And all our reasons start to fade
(La, la, la, la, la
(La, la, la, la, la)
(La, la, la, la, la)
(La, la, la, la, la)
(La, la, la, la, la, oh)
All our reasons why
(All our reasons were a lie)
All our reasons were a lie
(After all our reasons)
(Love was left aside)
Love was left aside
I'm longing to love you
For one night
Please let me love you
With all of my might
Baby, oooh, baby
Yeah, reasons
The reasons that we're here
The reasons that we fear
Our feelings won't
They won't disappear
And after the love games
Have been played
All our illusions
Were just a parade
And all the reasons start to fade
And in the morning
When I rise
No longer feeling hypnotized
For now reasons, our reasons
Our reasons had no pride
After all our reasons why
(All our reasons were a lie)
All our reasons were a lie
(After all our reasons)
(Love was left aside)
For all our pride
Love was left aside
Hey, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah
Ooh, baby
I can't find the reasons
That my love won't disappear
Can't find the reasons
Why I love you
Baby, my dear
Can't find the reasons
Wanna love you all night
Can't find the reasons
Gotta squeeze ya, real tight
Can't find the reasons
Baby, yeah
For my tears
Can't find the reasons
Why I love ya
Why I need ya
Yassssssssssssss

We don't die, we become what we leave behind. Long live Earth, Wind, & Fire thanks to their musical catalog.
Yes indeed! Maurice White is still with us every time we listen to this❤❤❤
I'm so happy that my favorite music came out in my favorite movie series
My dad passed away in 2006 and this was one of his FAVORITE groups. He introduced me to them and no matter what I'm going through when I listen to this song it puts a smile on my face. The comment 4 years ago made me think about him and realize it's so true. Younger generations won't know about this kind of music unless someone shares it with them. Thanks dad
[Verse 1]
Now, I'm craving your body, is this real
Temperature's rising, I don't want to feel
I'm in the wrong place to be real
And I'm longing to love you just for a night
Kissing and hugging and holding you tight
Please let me love you
With all my might
[Refrain]
Reasons, the reasons that we're here
The reasons that we fear
Our feelings won't disappear
And after the love game has been played
All our illusions were just a parade
And all the reasons start to fade
[Pre-Chorus]
La, la la la, la, la la la
La, la la la, la, la la la
La, la la la, la, la la la
La, la la la, la, la la la
[Chorus]
After all our reasons why
All our reasons were a lie
After all our reasons, love
Love was left aside
[Verse 2]
I'm longing to love you for one night
Please let me love you with all of my might, baby
Ooh, baby
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Refrain]
Yeah, reasons, the reasons that we're here
The reasons that we fear
Our feelings won't disappear
And after the love games have been played
All our illusions were just a parade
And all the reasons start to fade
[Bridge]
And, in the morning when I rise
No longer feeling hypnotized
Find our reasons, our reasons, our reasons
Had no pride
[Chorus]
After all our reasons why
All our reasons were a lie
After all our reasons, love
Love was left aside
[Outro]
Yeah, where, yeah where, ooh, baby
I can't find the reasons
That my love won't disappear
Can't find the reasons
Why I love you, baby, my dear
Can't find the reasons
Wanna love you all night
Can't find the reasons
Gotta squeeze ya, real tight
Can't find the reasons
Baby, yeah
For my tears
Can't find the reasons
Why I love ya
I was on the side of the stage with EARTH WIND and FIRE at New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival two weeks ago. No words can Express the AMAZINGNESS of their lyrics and music. I cried.
YOU KNOW YOUR MUSIC IS ICONIC WHEN EVERY RACES CAN RELATE
Tmc Head 💯💯🙌🙌
Music is iconic when it endures the test of time. It doesn't need validation from whites.
Our music is our African-American heritage; a mixture of african percussions, slave spirituals, and the rock sound rooted in gospel.
@@turnthepage867 What's your problem, Ronnie? "Validation from whites"? You sound like a racist attacking a whole group of people. Is that the way you want people to perceive you? You're better than that, aren't you?
I agree with you. Nice way to explain it. Touchè
@@turnthepage867 sweetheart don’t put it that way, sounds racists. That is a nono. The been loved around the world 🌎 they are universal. Sorry honey! You so wrong.
This entire arrangement is a pleasure to listen to.
Incredible!!! I've said before that the late great Charles Stepney is an unsung hero of this album! This album changed the trajectory of EWF!
It's 2024 and this song is still better than most music today
MOST?! ALL!!!
This is easily my favorite song of all times 🙌🏽🥰♾️
BIG FACTS! 💯‼️
💯💯 this music is the best of all times. 🍻💯 🥂
Love this Song
My wife goes ballistic when I play this song! It is the only song she attempts to sing LOUD even if the neighbours complain! 🇿🇦
Love them forever now I'm 64 48 years wow that bring back huge hormone years wow
Me too.. lol and I don't care who complains... This is my song..♥️♥️♥️♥️
That's nice.😒
Me too, she’s not alone ..lol🤣🤣 🎙 The Reeeeasonnnn’s 😳🤣
ayeeeee
Takes me back to my early twenties...such beautiful vocals and passion.
Deep feelings and melodious 🥰🥰 how are you doing Michelle? I most confess you are looking cute with your beautiful smile 🥰🥰
@@stevendonald125 thank you
one of the greatest love songs of all time, lyrics are so intriguing and the vocals are pure magic, I will never delete this song from my playlist,
It's not a love song. It's about understanding one night stands, with groupies, when on the road. Listen to the words carefully.
You don't get it. All the reasons was a LIE! All the reasons were meant to DIE! Far from being a love song. It's a hit it & quit it song.
Here before Marvel fans flood the comments.
I dont blame them tho, this is truly a great song and should be as well known as the other hits by EWF.
I get emotional knowing it's only 3 members left now,they were the BAND back in the day.
Indeed!! I am 50 years old with brothers 60,65, and 67. I grew up listening to EWF. My mama was a Christian lady and didn't listen to alot of secular music. The 65 year old play Reasons so much until she knew it word for word...LOL!! I wished we could travel back in time.
I STiLL say "wow" songs like these are so beautiful. Shame that no one does music so heartfelt nowadays.
Lord have mercy Jesus 💗
Channin Yates AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!
You absolutely had to be there in the 70’s. These men were ”OUTSTANDING” in concert!
Channin Yates
Let the church say Amen 💒
Im christian I respect and love my religion and all, but aint this unecessary to put Jesus in this unrelated video?
@@neththeobnoxioussponge8929 If the Lord and Jesus is truly your inspiration, then you know they move in ways that you can be touched anytime, anywhere...be thankful Channin Yates invoked his name...blessings
Earth. Wind. Fire. Need no more. Fantastic band. Amazing band. Love them.
Some of the Best ❤
EWF - Greatest R&B band of all time!! If you disagree, who would you place above them? 'Love Always' Proverbs 3:5
Now, I'm craving your body, is this real
Temperatures rising, I don't want to feel
I'm in the wrong place to be real
Woah and I'm longing to love you, just for a night
Kissing and hugging and holding you tight
Please let me love you, with all my might
Reasons, the reasons that we hear
The reasons that we fear
Our feelings a won't disappear, ooh
And after the love game has been played
All our illusions were just a parade
And all the reasons start to fade
La, la, la, la
After all our reasons why
All the reasons were a why
After all the reasons love was left aside
I'm longing to love you for one night
Please let me love you with all of my might, baby
Ooh baby
Reasons, the reasons that we hear
The reasons that we fear
Our feelings a won't disappear
And after the love games have been played
All our illusions were just a parade
And all the reasons start to fade
And, in the morning when I rise
No longer feeling hypnotized
For no reasons, our reasons, our reasons
Have no pride
After all the reasons why
All of the reasons were a lie
After all the reasons why love was left aside
Heeh, ah, yeah, ooh, yeah, ooh baby
I can't find the reasons
That my love won't disappear
Can't find the reasons
Why I love you, my baby, my dear
Can't find the reasons
Wanna love you all night
Can't find the reasons
Gotta squeeze ya, real tight
Can't find the reasons
Baby yeah
For my tears
Can't find the reasons
Songwriters: Charles Stepney /
Omg. Definitive EWF
Get one night stand
Love the lyrics
The most elegant song about Post-Nut Clarity in history. 🙌🏾💯🙏🏽
Congrats, YT's most definitive comment of the day !!!!
REAL CLEVER!!!
😂😂😂
I could not agree with you more.
Oh my goodness, can't stop laughing 👏🏽👏🏽😂🤣😂🤣😂
One of my favorite EWF songs. So glad I grew up with this despite being a 90s kid. Maurice will be missed but remembered through his beautiful lyrics and music, RIP
70s had the best music so lucky to be a teen then, besides them we had ABBA, Bgees, Eagles, Elton John, Elvis, Rod Stewart, Neil Diamond, Johnny Cash, Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, Beatles sooo many more, 70s had the best music prove me wrong
@@mikesantellana6333 The seventies had the beatles ?
@@kennydee9346yes
Phillip, after all these years, your voice still gives me chills❤ " gotta squeeze you real tight"....Love you, EWF
This song reminds me of my childhood, precious memories
Best slow song ever!!! Fell in love dancing to this song, if I close my eyes I can go right back to that time. Never felt like that before or after
The most passionate song I’ve ever heard. 🥵 I love it! ❤️
I feel the same..God bless u🎇
My first really girlfriend in 1975 during the disco era
I was so glad they added this underrated song to the movie. People have been missing out on this gem!
LMAOOOOO
I'm watching the Movie RIGHT NOW!!!!👍🏾
This is not an underrated song.
Underrated? 🤨 What are you even talking about?
2024 check ✔️ in❤
As of 01/20/2024.. bunch of ppl talking about guardians of the galaxy soundtrack... No bro... This was a jam 40 yrs prior 😂
Virtuoso performance by Phil. Literally un-repeatable. Ever
Thanking the lord my father blasted this music during cookouts and cleaning up
Bruh I'm almost 42 and my baby girl is a heavy Curtis Mayfield fan. Lol. I'm starting her off right. Ur pops is a great man for playinh this around u. Enjoy bruh.
After 44 years...This Song moves me just as Deeply 😘🤗💃💕
To listen to a song and actually hear different instruments and real vocals.real musicians. Nothing today compares, it's all fake.
The reason that we're here. For the Love of God. It is why my love for everyone will never Disappear nor Disappoint . Love this Life saving song. Save mines
Back when music was REAL. 🎶🎵
Back when everyone in the neighborhood had this album or 45. We all would sing along and trying our best to sing just like EWF. best time to be a kid in the 70’s and starting to like girls and figuring out how it all worked. ❤️🎶
It's simply a masterpiece on every level! Beautiful jam! Thank you Earth Wind and Fire!
Goosebumps
Rest in Paradise Mommy. This is her favorite.❤❤❤❤
This some blast in your car on a Sunday night while driving and not looking back.
Let's ride then!
Sunday morning is also good.
That is so perfect ... Yes
Let's go
I was playing that in my mom’s car while driving last night!
This the song your uncle says "what you youngins know about this" at cookouts then proceeds to sing it in the correct key
This the song the young ones say 'What is the reason we have to listen?' .... and then have to listen and appreciate before a whoopin' cometh with a mission!
😂😂
True words, heard it December 1975 for the first time and it has been my all time favourite still ❤
The most beautiful song about a 1 night stand ever. 😆
The songs my dad says “what you know about this?” Lol
By the grace of God I love this song
the breakdown at 2:16 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Maurice White you and your music will live forever. Thanks!
One of the greatest one night stand songs ever, Earth,wind and fire did it with class,those horns, arrangements and production Charles stephney and Maurice White rip to two creative forces,Philip Bailey tore this joint up
Thank you for mentioning Charles Stepney!! He is the sound behind all of this. And when he died prematurely the sound of EWF changed…which just lets you know how much influence Stepney had. Geniuses, all of them
I glad you caught it. People get married to this!
Agreed
If you don't squint your eyes listening to this feeling it, I cant trust YOU - 2021
🤣😂
Amen. Or furrow your brow because your ears to brain just can’t process the greatness of this song
Okayyyyy!!!!
Yessss!😂
Lol happens every time
Brother Phil Bailey is phenomenal.
Earth Wind and Fire my heroes.
Rip, Brother Maurice White.
I tell you I grew up on earth, wind and fire. My brothers played in bands. They always played this music brings back a lot of memories for me. A lot of good times, and a lot of loves lost. I’ll always be grateful to earth, wind, and fire for bringing their music and their sound to my life. Thank you for all the wonderful years.
One of the greatest songs of all time.
RIP Grandpa still can’t make it through the whole song I miss you forever big Mike 💙💙💙
Smoking on Big Mike
