All of the above does not characterize the singer at all. I, who do not understand English, feel that every word she says and every sound image she creates is true. That's what a singer is.
By no standards. She's iconic and unique, but come on. She's not really a great singer. Without the bangles and their 80's sex appeal marketing popularity, she never would have had a successful career in music. She's off key a lot while singing. You can hear it constantly.
When she sings the line .."you belong with me "... a million guys like me fell in love. She's 61 now and still as beautiful as ever , with that sweet tone in her voice that just melts.....
@ kernowrock555 You got that right. This song was out when I just started puberty and everytime I heard it, it felt like she was singing it directly to me. I miss the 80s so much.
She has a voice and looks that could melt anyone's heart, regardless of gender. Even my little dog has a tear in his eye. Just trying to detect my cats feelings as he keeps staring at her on my tv.
I never realized she was this great a singer. Unplugged, no choir, the pure voice alone is perfect and expressive. Still hard to not miss the band, of course.
Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling Do you feel my heart beating? Do you understand? Do you feel the same? Am I only dreaming? Is this burning an eternal flame? I believe it's meant to be, darling I watch when you are sleeping You belong with me Do you feel the same? Am I only dreaming? Or is this burning an eternal flame? Say my name the sun shines through the rain A whole life so lonely And then you come and ease the pain I don't want to lose this feeling Oh, oh Say my name the sun shines through the rain A whole life so lonely And then you come and ease the pain I don't want to lose this feeling Oh, oh Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling Do you feel my heart beating? Do you understand? Do you feel the same? Am I only dreaming? Or is this burning an eternal flame?
Susanna Hoffs has got an amazing singing voice who can hit those notes no matter how high or low they are.She is one very talented lady who a lot of us who were in our teens in the 1980’s listened to when she came onto the music scene.Even today even in her early 60’s she still looks as young as she was back then.
Music and the brain are incredible. This was one of my favorites as a kid. I've gone through brain surgeries and infection that nearly killed me. I struggle cognitively, some. Hadn't heard this in well over 25yrs, turned this on, and it took me back to who I was then and I knew every word... Thanks for this🖤🎧
Funny you say this. I have epilepsy, and I’ve suffered more concussions than is healthy. It’s had an effect on my cognitive functioning….some, as you say. Music brings all my memories back, and it’s the only thing that can. It’s like my memories aren’t in a catalogue, but a musical library. I listen to music, I can access those memories. 🌹
Eternal Flame is one of the most beautiful and endearing ballads of all time! Thank you SH for writing and performing this masterpiece of lyrics and melody!
She didn't write this.. I refuse to believe that any female wrote this as evidenced by the lyrics " I watch you when you're sleeping you belong to me " nope sorry but girls don't write shit like that..
I was skeptical about this song without all the sweeping harmonies and orchestration that the original recording had, but a single guitar and a single singer pulls it off pretty well too.
Guitarist Michael Lockwood accompanies Susanna on this 1996 Norwegian public broadcast. The song “Eternal Flame” was released eight years earlier on the Bangles’ third album.
When she sang "C'mon honey, let's go make some noise" I fell in love with her. I'm 51 now and although the noise wouldn't be as loud now, I'd still give myself a heart attack trying to wake the dead with her.
With all the singers that sung this song none of them can match the true emotion that Susanna Hoffs puts into it. It almost makes me cry because I truly feel her deep feelings for the love she is singing it to. This is one of my favorite all time songs in the love category.
As a young man, I didn't like to dance and there were few titles that somehow motivated me to dance and when a pretty girl approached me and asked me sweetly: "Shall we dance?" then I went onto the dance floor - not really because of the dancing. It happened in a disco. This song was playing and a beautiful girl asked me to dance. Unfortunately, it was at the end of the song Eternal Flame and I thought: "You're lucky. I thought kissing was better than dancing. The disc jockey came up with the idea of playing the track again with Susanna Hoffs because my dance partner had asked him to play it again and she was very charming and pretty. Somehow the dancing went , because I heard a very beautiful melody and had a very beautiful girl in my arms. I was very excited and I didn't know at the time how lucky I was. Later I regretted very much that I had so little desire to dance to this beautiful song with this girl in my arms.
Sussana hoffs i did reminisce my highschool days. I do mis the history of this bangles band but for now im enjoying blast from the past thinking that im still young and sussana hoffs still my crush😊😊😊
Merry Christmas to you🎄 Hello fan, I'm sending you a message of gratitude. Thanks for your lovely likes and comments on my official page, I can't thank you enough💖
The voice and the rest of her--too beautiful for words!!! She's still a stunner at 62! Honestly, she can't sing like that anymore...but she's a gorgeous woman!
@@Maya_br Ella siempre fue una cantante muy bonita, que no sea de tu agrado, es solo una opinión tuya y es respetable, pero... no todos deben pensar como tu o como yo, aun cambiando el look 10 años después se veía fantástica en apariencia, muy bella siendo parte de la música de los 80s!
I don't want to disrespect The Bangles as a group, since I'm a fan, but this is the most magic I have ever heard being extracted of this song. I have to give credit to the amazing work of the guitar player. Perfect delicate work. And she is really better than any studio recording.
I remember doing my 'A' levels years ago and this really attractive girl in my maths class sang this in assembly in front of the whole year. Literally had goosebumps at the time but never could pluck up the courage to be even friends with her. The embarrassment you feel in your teens is such a waste of time. If I could back in time I would befriend her :'(
I hear ya. I just loved a girl back then, but like a dumbass, I was scared to death of her. That was 38 years ago, and still a day never goes by when I don't think of her and then think,. "what if"? It's too late now. When you have the chance, don't hesitate. Thanks.
