Class of 81 here. Truer words never spoken, Becky. Everyone says the decade they grew up in was the all time greatest, but you rarely hear them say it with a big ol' grin and with such conviction as those who lived and partied in the 80's! Rock you up!
I really hope no one remakes this, this is a damn Canadian treasure for gods sake and so is he. Some things are better left untouched, this song is one of them.
They don't even make songs like this any more. I clicked this thing on with no memory of what it sounded like and was just flat out blown away. The immediate appeal of the melody. Its amazing. This is Bryan Adams under the radar. Puts him in the class with every classic rock band there ever was. Bryan Adams should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for God's sake.
+Vera Evans As an American who loves rock n roll, I feel we have all been blessed in this world w/ America's best, England's best, and Canada's best. My God what a wonderful time it was to grow up w/ so much incredible music. But back to your BA comment, I agree w/ you one thousand percent. Bryan Adams should be in the Hall Of Fame. If Madonna, Grandmaster Flash, and other artist like that are so easily thrown in as soon as they are eligible, how in the hell could Bryan Adams not be? He's not even been on a ballot to even be considered through the years as far as I know. Sad to say(and I don't want to get started bc it pisses me off to no end) to think that Rush was just inducted after all these years of being eligible, is insane. KISS, same thing. The Cars, Chicago, Cheap Trick, Boston, Ted Nugent, Deep Purple, Doobie Brothers, Yes, and so many greats, are not in, but those like Patti Smith, Public Enemy, and other garbage that call themselves rock n roll are. I think people are getting fed up.
stan yarbrough I had no idea sentiment ran so deep about Adams and other great artists not being in the Hall of Fame. But to tell you the truth, if The Cars and Chicago aren't in, I guess our friend BA is in some good company. He'll get in someday. Maybe. But Bryan Adams is a genius.
+Vera Evans You are right. Bryan Adams definitely kicks ASS!!! It doesn't get much simpler than this does it? White shirt, blue jeans, a good melody, and a well written song that fucking HAMMERS!!! Hoorah!!! Kanye could learn a thing or 2.....
This is another Recording all the Songs could have been on the Charts. The one with Everything I Do (I Do It For You) a vast Majority would have been included. Bryan some of these could even be Chart Toppers. I Finally Found Someone with Barbra Streisand.
Man, these songs take you back to when we were younger, better looking and definately EASIER TIMES!!! I still go back listening to it!!! BEST MUSIC OF ALL TIME THE 80s!!!
I was 14 when this came out. Over the years I wanted to outgrow the 80's, but the songs like this that completely transport me, tears and all, back to when I was trying to figure the world (and girls) out, just won't ever let me. And now I don't want to. Take me back, please!
Trying to figure out the world & girls.... wow.... that's setting the bar realyyyy high. If u happen to figure out either one of them or both plz let the rest of us know. 😂😅 . Or else just enjoy them both....😮❤.
I miss cassettes so much (I still have tons stored away for sentimental value). I got his So Far So Good greatest hits on tape in 1998 at 13. Always loved this song but that wasn't on it unfortunately
He’s a hidden gem. Always plays what’s right for the song. My band just started doing this one, and it’s one of my favorites to play. Not hard to learn and that outro solo is 🤌.
Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead. - Acts 17:30-31
Actually you’re wrong, I graduated in 1985 so we’re on the same page but I work with alot of gen Z kids and you’d be surprised that they think the music from our generation is as great as we think it is , that’s because kids that age have parents our age who listen to this music. I also see a lot of YT channels from the younger generation that do reviews on our music and they seem to like it
We had absolutely no idea that we were living during the best years that America would ever know. I just wished to God that I everytime I said Man I wish I was 16, Man I wish high school was over, Man I wish I was 18, Man I can't wait until I'm 21 that I knew then what it was that I was wishing away
I just can't get over the way Keith Scott's guitar melodies and Bryan Adams' vocals share the same space at the end, like they're intertwined. Usually a guitarist walks all over the vocals if they don't trade, but somehow his choice of melodies complements the vocal lines. Really outstanding!
@@gregorykiernan7849 You're so right, thanks for pointing that out. Brian's guitar is turned way down in the mix, so they're essentially operating as a trio, and Brian can focus on his vocal performance. Look at the way he doubles the chords on the break, but it's pure showmanship; the sound you hear is Keith Scott's guitar!
in my mind, THIS is the perfect rock song. There's something in there that pulls at your heart strings, I don't know if it's Bryan singing the Shit out of this song or the music behind his vocals, but BLENDED it's PERFECTION.
Darrell Morris its probably one of the most excellent execution of vocals/lyrics, guitar, bass and drums. Growing up listening to Bryan and his bands music for years...I noticed key elements as well the consistency that in my opinion have made them one of the most successfull if not one of the most influential bands from the 80s and 90s. Not only that but they have been at how many weddings with "Everything I do"?
People forget what a fantastic backing band Bryan had in the 80's. They weren't just studio sidemen, they were a powerful band that were vital to his sound and what made his songs so powerful and special
His best song in my opinion and he has many good songs. I still after nearly 40 years cannot listen to this song without a flood of bittersweet memories. Rest in peace, Bobby.
Always thought Keith Scott's guitar contributed greatly to the sound of these classic somgs. The solos were always very minimal and clean, but a very fitting part of the song.
Keith Scott, like Rick Neilsen, Pete Townsend, and the Edge is a judicious user of the riff...crisp, concise and impactful. Very underated player. Love his style as it says 80s all over.
Really it's extremely commercial music there is better stuff around just dig a little deeper and you will be trading your Bryan Adams in for something on the more alternative seen like THE MISSION for example
Reckless....The best Bryan Adams Album ever......Every song a single!!!...Every song unforgettable....That record made him a world superstar and took him into the Hall of Fame!!!!...
My junior Homecoming was on Oct. 19, 1985, and this song was playing on the radio as I kissed my date goodnight. I have seen her only once in nearly 31 years, but she, and this song, still have a place in my heart.
summer of '86..16 yrs old..cruisin' the backroads of Montana with my girl and listenin' to Bryan Adams on the cassette player..the beers were cold and the lovin' hot that summer my friends!
Adam's right hand man, Keith Scott, is such an underrated axe man. Just great phrasing and tone. He reminds me of Neil Giraldo(Pat Benatar), just an incredible player who doesn't get the notice as some do. Many music fans don't know them but they know their unforgettable songs they've created and gave us all! Nod n shout out to brother Keith Scott! thanx for all the great music.
A leather jacket, boots, tight jeans, holey guitar, half-length hair, Bryan has qualified as an '80s ballad rock musician. It turned out to be more than that, he became a legend.
Time travel to 1984 . . . I was 19. Listening to this gem while cruisin' with the top down on Blackstone Avenue, Fresno, California. Not a worry in the world.
i agree back then they made music that came from the heart and meant something to a generation of happier times. Now they just do it for the money and fame, its really sad.
Thank you Bryan Adams. I’m not an 80s kid, born in 2000 - but you were my First concert ever, this song makes me cry to this day. So beautiful, so emotional, so powerful. Thank you :)
Damn, love this song. One of his most underrated ones. Used to blast this song and album back in the day. Glad that I got to see Bryan Adams live with Def Leppard years back. Truly great experience.
“ one night love affair ,” love the line “ sometimes life ain’t fair “ “ ah but now we’re left w nothing ,yeeaah ,yeah ,yeah ,” when the morning breaks ,go our separate ways ,if the night was made for live ,it ain’t for keeps “🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸❤️
You're the silent type And you caught my eye But I never thought that I'd be touchin' you How was I to know I'd let my feelin's go And that I'd be yours before the night was through One night love affair Tryin' to make like we don't care We were both reachin' out for somethin' One night love affair Pretendin' it ain't there Oh - and now we're left with nothin' When the mornin' breaks We go our separate ways If the night was made for love it ain't for keeps But I lose control As I watch you go All my senses say I'm in this much too deep Now you're outa reach One night love affair Tryin' to make like we don't care We were both reachin' out for somethin' One night love affair Pretendin' we don't care Oh - and now we're left with nothin' [Solo] One night love affair Trying' to make like we don't care We were both reachin' out for somethin' One night love affair Sometimes life ain't fair Oh - and not we're left with nothin'
Love love Bryan Adams. Miss those days so much I just will always cherish and think of them Thank u Bryan Adams and all the other wonderful 80s music icons
The 80s was magical decade. The cool fashion trends, big hair, awesome music, tv shows, etc. Saturday nights driving in my Camaro IROC-Z blasting Bryan Adams songs.
I LOVE the way Bryan screams simply “FIRE!” at the absolute top of his lungs at 3:18. Only Bryan Adams can yell “FIRE!” in a standing-room only auditorium and not get arrested for it!
