What It Takes by Aerosmith, song and lyrics. Every word of this masterpiece expresses the pain of my heart...everyday, from now until the end of time. For my wife...
They sure as hell don't make music like this anymore. The feeling it invokes......Damn. How will future generations experience this? That's the real tragedy here !!
I sang this song every day, at least once a day, for 3 years after my husband left me for another girl. I was absolutely shattered. Wore out 3 CD's and one DVD. I still play it now and then. It doesn't hurt so bad any more. I still love this song. Thank you Aerosmith. *BIG heart* :)
Susan Rasmussen I hope it is better for you now. I am going through this right now. It really hurts. I keep hoping she will change her mind but I know she won't
Is my favorite too! I like above all other musics, although, Crying, Crazy, Hole in my Soul, and I Don't wanna lose a thing, and others, is fantastic. I love the intensity in the songs of Aerosmith, they are really full of passion.
This has to be one of the most perfect songs I can think of. Every note, every beat, every lyric, every sound that comes from Tyler's voice, the whole combination from start to finish ... flawless.
This music is such full of life, intense, beautiful, awesome. The arrangements, te lyrics, beautiful at infinity. In Brazil a romantic band does a version, so beautiful like the original, although the theme of the lyrics was different, but, it's was such a gift to people here, for the rising of soul that afford. Aerosmith fan from Brazil.
Was married until my wife pretty much went cold turkey on me and cheated on me with my friends. This song really shows how i felt afterwards, but for those out there who think that theres no one else out there then keep looking. I found the most amazing girl nearly a year on and im really far happier than i ever was before. Thanks though Aerosmith for an amazing song.
Tony Mann thanks for encouraging words. Mines a guy leaving because I’m not one of course lol but same stuff💔💔😭everyday is a hard uphill struggle, another day long crying spell lurking just beneath the surface for now. He chased me down and cornered me, then I relented and fell deeply in love, was sort of getting by ok on my own, seems extra cruel little twist. But anyway, I hope things have worked out well for you, maybe I can hope again someday too😭💔
Codilla yeah, mine ran off with the literal town whore, and in Jacksonville Florida that’s really saying something. Don’t get it, he chased me down at first..
This song summed it up when I left a bitter marriage 20 years ago. Back then the pain was so deep I remember saying to myself "geez, I wish it was 20 years from now." Well, it is now 20 years later. Those wounds healed but it took a long time and needed a lot of effort. For people finding things unbearable now, all I can say is hang in there, have faith and you will be freed from it. Time is your best friend, use it with love.
***** Bless you Jon... just pray for healing, for you, for her, for the situation. It was a time in your life. New chapters have been written. Acknowledge it on your path. Allow the scars to heal. That was the way I made it. I hope this helps you.

This song is one of Aerosmith's GREATEST pieces of work. It's one of those songs for me that grew on me and those are the songs you love for a lifetime. Thanks for posting this.
Such a beautiful song that has gotten me through more than one breakup. The lyrics are so perfect but I realized the subtle genius of the song when I heard him repeat over and over again at the end. "Let it Go" It's necessary to dwell in the pain for a while but eventually you have no choice but to let it go. You have to distract yourself as soon as those thoughts come into your head. Still dealing with heavy feelings from the last break up which is why I'm here but I can tell you the first break up doesn't occupy a single thought in my mind anymore. Eventually this last break up won't either. With so many people in the world it's a wonder how we choose the few people we love in our lives. There is something to learn from them all.
Most people, including Aerosmith's biggest fans, have no idea what a complete and true masterpiece this song track is. It may take listening to 1000 times, but once you see the inner-workings of "What it Takes," you have this "holy shit" moment when you realize the magnitude of its complexity. Desmond Child together with Joe Perry and Steven Tyler created this magic and I literally feel sad for anyone who hasn't a clue as to what I'm going on about here because it means they have never REALLY heard this song for what it is -- A true musical masterpiece.😎
The inconsistent chord changes could be considered complex I guess...but complex does not make a song great....a great song makes a song great....the magic of this number is the vocals specifically the range combined with the lyrics fitting the mood of the song perfectly.... Tyler's vocal range and harmonies and presence are what's most difficult and also what puts this song on another level
mine too...great memories 😜😜 (most of me crying my heart out, screaming out the lyrics as it runs for days on end, on replay, full blast, during all of my "teenage angst", and teen heart breaks) sorry mom...hah 😕
One of most passionate and deep felt tracks. Some songs get close to describing the pain. This one is spot on. Even if the pain was first experienced over 20 years ago, it helps to not feel alone in the agony that was felt. And years later, it is excellent to listen and reflect on it.
jrenae75 I sang this song for 3 years straight to help me get over a love that cut so deep..... I'm so glad the pain is finally gone.... but won't ever be forgotten..... Thank you Aerosmith!!! Love you!
SOOO True! I Adore this song by Aerosmith! My absolute fav & throughout the years of dozens of relationships, a few that have cut deep, has been one of my best "go to" songs to wallow in self-pity for a few moments of reminiscence! My most recent (& probably the deepest, most painful scars) came from a covert narcissist, who totally won my heart over & was all I ever wanted in a woman, then turned out to be an absolute nightmare of emotional & psychological pain & torment. Hard lessons learned in love my friends. But DON'T GIVE UP! And don't get bitter! Keep an open heart, along with a Strong sense of self, & one day you'll find someone who'll make you almost forget all the crap you've been through. Take Care & God Bless You & Yours!
This reminds me of my dad. Once, we where rocking out in his car to this song. And he was repeating the chorus, asking if I understood. Ahh, the memories
I played this song, What It Takes, every day for 3 years until the tears started to subside some for my husband.... even now, 20 something years later.... it still hurts and I cry at the end..... I would hug this song if I could.
Takes me back to 8th grade when i was heartbroken over some loser and jamming this in my room lol. Aerosmith is timeless. I've been listening to them since I was in the womb😂 my dream is to see them live at least once in my life.
You ever find that poetry worded, truly finds you back once it makes more sense, maybe it was always relevant but not quite perfectly, but the weight of certain intracacy tells you if you are on time or early.. it's more than a feeling...
So I’m just now getting into Aerosmith or even this type of music in general other then hearing it in the background as a Kidd. Sh*t is amazing!!! Glad I’m on it now
I freaking love the end-how it completely sounds like Steven is in pain and everyone is telling him to let it go, yet it still sounds like gorgeous music.
My all time Aerosmith favorite. The reason why is because it's got more of that certain classic Aerosmith sound to it than mostr tunes they've done. Sreve's harmonies really come out in this tune (3:00 - 3:15). You can tell he put a shhitload of blood an guts into this one. It takes balls to bleed your heart into a microphone for everyone to hear it ya know. Steve, you are the ruler.
A lot of times when I hear this on the radio they cut out the entire ending portion starting at 4:14, which is like the best part of the song. Glad I can hear the full thing here.
My All time favorite Aerosmith song! It resonates with me every time I hear it! This song was written by someone hurting bad! Another is "love bites" def leppard
I listen to this heading down south to New Jersey Sometimes when flying down the Highway!! Thanks Aerosmith for a great song!!! Still one of the best songs from the 2000’s
my heart is totally breaking more everyday from this man who told me he loved me so, my person. When I think it couldn't possibly crack more, another little piece falls off. I'm not sure I want to let it go, then it will be like it never happened. Cathartic Aerosmith, thank you, on this awful morning.
+EmpireYellow1 I'd say forgive them but I know all to well what it feels like to have every little piece of your heart ripped out of your chest and crushed under foot......forgiving is next to impossible and forgetting IS....that being said, take the experiance and turn it into something good for yourself. Yes, by all means forgive the shit bird, but never forget and ALWAYS look for the best in people....it may be hard to find but its there
I've been an Aerosmith fan since the first time I heard "Sweet Emotion" on a 45 RPM vinyl record on the "juke box" in the cafe/bar of a small Holiday Inn in Williamston, NC in 1975. I'll turn 67 in May of 2020. I don't know if it's maturity or that many failed relationships, or maybe they're the same thing. It still took over 30 years to realize that "What It Takes" is the perfect song for anyone who is growing old without a significant other. Mike Griffin
Great song.... Great album!!! I was only eleven and I knew that... Geez what happened to music, I remember I got this Xmas 89.... PUMP! My eleven year old would never ask me for a rock album....then again it's not 89 :(
2022 And still rocking this song! Love you Arrowsmith! I got my baby back after years and weve been happy for 20 years. Nothing going to tear us apart again.
@@Sally-uu3yt My Top 5 are, Get Ready, not in order __ 1_Bon Scott 2_ Steven Tyler _3_Johnny Rotton _ 4_Lux Interior_5_ Me Singing in the Shower, a know for a fact a sound Fuckin Amazing.
I simply love this song, but unfortunately it reminds me of someone who deceived me and I didn't find out how many years later. It's still hard letting go. Damn hard.
So unknown and so incredible. Maybe their best or of their top songs. Strong and sweet, irresistible Steve Tyler charisma and this music...Paradise is here
It took me that long as well,but I think I was 41 so was she and the woman use to be with a friend of mine back when I was 15, years went by and I have not seen her in over 25yrs... I finally found her on Facebook and we started chatting,she was married but she wasn't happy and was going to get a divorce... We hooked up about 2 weeks after we started chatting and she was the best thing/person/woman that I have ever met and been with in my 41yrs of life at the time... She was my best friend and the love of my life... We was together for a year and a half and she passed away. I was so hurt and depressed because she was the best thing that ever happened to me,the depression I was in was so bad that I attempted suicide... I now think about those 18 months we was together and they were the best time of my life!!!
Every time I hear this song I'm reminded of this diner my mom used to take my brother and I to in Baltimore back in the late 80s. Each booth had a mini jukebox and I would play this song every time we went there. The place is long gone, but the memories aren't.
I’ve heard this song a thousand times, always kinda just blended in as “an Aerosmith song”. Then one day I actually listened to it, and it just hit different. Suddenly I can’t get enough, probably Steven Tyler’s quintessential performance. He’s adding something to every word.
I didnt realize how many Aerosmith songs that I liked until I started listening to hit after hit tonight. They are one of those bands I usually just listen to on the radio when they come on every and now then.
This was a great song that many can all relate to. It came from a period when Aerosmith wanted all their songs to sound the same (it seemed). But it stood out.
Then the feelings all come back since my whole lifelove' my husband passed away senselessly I have never really been the same. I am the same but I don't ever think fully I will ever be the same.
Great song if someone break your heart and she's moved on while you're still putting the pieces together. Hard as hell to see your ex found someone and you haven't yet too.... such a great song
Musically what makes this song click so well is that the chorus is actually a key change. It begins in G Major, but shifts to F Major. It's a beautiful thing.
Lol! This is one of my favorite songs of theirs, and I'm just now learning music theory. I learned the verse without playing the music, and I couldn't find the chorus at all. Then when I did, my singer shouted so it's a key change! Totally funny!
One of the most UNDERRATED Aerosmith songs, from both a lyrical and musical composition complexity perspective.
Testify!
Yes!!!
It ranks pretty high for me I was just feeling a bit love sick I put it on and seen your comment
AAAAAMENNNN!!!!!
Not really.. it’s one of his biggest hits.. it’s on the radio all the time lol
They sure as hell don't make music like this anymore. The feeling it invokes......Damn. How will future generations experience this? That's the real tragedy here !!
They don't anymore
29 love this song. My parents taught me well 👌👍
Hola, Mercedes
im 22...i mostly listen to 80s music
One of the best Aerosmith songs ever. No matter what people say, Pump was a good album.
The best.
Pump is a masterpiece
BEST
Agreed!!!!
AWESOME ALBUM!
I sang this song every day, at least once a day, for 3 years after my husband left me for another girl. I was absolutely shattered. Wore out 3 CD's and one DVD. I still play it now and then. It doesn't hurt so bad any more. I still love this song. Thank you Aerosmith. *BIG heart* :)
Susan Rasmussen I hope it is better for you now. I am going through this right now. It really hurts. I keep hoping she will change her mind but I know she won't
One of the most beautiful lyrics of Aerosmith
Thank you you're story is helping me to move on. This song as well. But thank you hope all is well now!!
Find better one ... trust yourself ....
So what's the story did he find another man?
I don't think anyone could reproduce Steven's vocals if they tried to cover this song. His singing is immense!
he is the best
If you want to make a good cover, do not imitate the vocal parts...
@James Jarrett 😆
Only Robert Plant
Absolutely. Steven, Joe, Brad, Tom, Joey, thank you for all you've brought to our lives!
Powerful lyrics, powerful song. I could never get tired of hearing it play. It's My All time favorite Aerosmith's song.
Is my favorite too! I like above all other musics, although, Crying, Crazy, Hole in my Soul, and I Don't wanna lose a thing, and others, is fantastic. I love the intensity in the songs of Aerosmith, they are really full of passion.
Aerosmith, one of the greatest bands of all time!
Facts
2020 and I'm still rocking this song...
Rockin it on quarantine
Not just this song whole album.
I'll be rocking this shit in 2030, 2040 and beyond the damn grave 🤘
Me too~sdr
Obvio.
This has to be one of the most perfect songs I can think of. Every note, every beat, every lyric, every sound that comes from Tyler's voice, the whole combination from start to finish ... flawless.

I was born in the right generation. I can easily listen to songs like this on CZcams, and I don’t have to wait for them to be written.

This song never gets old!! I wish we didn't either!!

The "few" people we love?
Wow. You're lucky.
I had 1.
This song still sends shivers down my spine . Love it....
Still and forever
U don't need to go thru a break up/divorce to enjoy this song.. this is one of the most underrated rock ballads..

Hands down my favorite song from Aerosmith! They have tons of great songs but i still listen to this one on repeat
How can a song have such melancholy lyrics yet be so upbeat and catching?
What a great song and what terrific lyrics. It's hard to remember that songs actually had meaning.....
When you can feel the song. It move you that's gonna be good song
My favourite Aerosmith song.....
I think it's mine too...so many great songs, and S.T. has done some really fantastic solo music :)
mine too
Definitely mine too, this song has so much meaning it's unreal and everyone, and I mean EVERYONE can relate to it one way or another.
mine too...great memories 😜😜
(most of me crying my heart out, screaming out the lyrics as it runs for days on end, on replay, full blast, during all of my "teenage angst", and teen heart breaks)
sorry mom...hah 😕
This is actually my second favorite Aerosmith song. My all-time favorite is got to be sweet emotion
This is the best Aerosmith song by far. The passion, pain, and rock all tied up. I can relate to these words 100%.
One of most passionate and deep felt tracks. Some songs get close to describing the pain. This one is spot on. Even if the pain was first experienced over 20 years ago, it helps to not feel alone in the agony that was felt. And years later, it is excellent to listen and reflect on it.

jrenae75 I sang this song for 3 years straight to help me get over a love that cut so deep..... I'm so glad the pain is finally gone.... but won't ever be forgotten..... Thank you Aerosmith!!! Love you!
SOOO True! I Adore this song by Aerosmith! My absolute fav & throughout the years of dozens of relationships, a few that have cut deep, has been one of my best "go to" songs to wallow in self-pity for a few moments of reminiscence! My most recent (& probably the deepest, most painful scars) came from a covert narcissist, who totally won my heart over & was all I ever wanted in a woman, then turned out to be an absolute nightmare of emotional & psychological pain & torment.

Keep an open heart, along with a Strong sense of self, & one day you'll find someone who'll make you almost forget all the crap you've been through. Take Care & God Bless You & Yours!

Can't remember what the E stands for.

Love this song. Will always be a great oldie to me. I feel every lyric. Good stuff
@@TheSharkAnt Not at all
Best Aerosmith song ever!
So I’m just now getting into Aerosmith or even this type of music in general other then hearing it in the background as a Kidd. Sh*t is amazing!!! Glad I’m on it now
My god this song really speaks volumes. Been betrayed and hurt so many times. I've learned to be happy and content single and now I'm single for life.
I hear that, same story different people, single is my way of life now, no more heart aches no more bullshit.
Tyler Hit it Outta the park with this Tune..Anyone who has been there know's......................
Most definitely a walk off...
I would marry Steven Tyler now even if he was broke I just love him
I freaking love the end-how it completely sounds like Steven is in pain and everyone is telling him to let it go, yet it still sounds like gorgeous music.

THIS is songwriting...Wow!
Clifton Isaacs tell came from the heart
A lot of times when I hear this on the radio they cut out the entire ending portion starting at 4:14, which is like the best part of the song. Glad I can hear the full thing here.
The way he screams "dice" cracks me up.
My All time favorite Aerosmith song! It resonates with me every time I hear it! This song was written by someone hurting bad! Another is "love bites" def leppard
Yassss!!
Love bites is a great song, but What it takes is in a class all its own. It's not even music, it sounds like noise from heaven.
You can feel the pain...
I've had this song in my head since I was 13. No joke. It never left... I now know why.
just broke up with my gf and now this song is bomb...thank you aerosmith for making this song...
The description for this song itself deserves its very own thumbed up comment ;j
I listen to this heading down south to New Jersey Sometimes when flying down the Highway!! Thanks Aerosmith for a great song!!! Still one of the best songs from the 2000’s
Basically one of the best songs ever.
Great song. Steven Tyler's got a set of pipes on him.
Aerosmith will forever be my favorite
Yesterday my boyfriend broke up with me... Thank you Steven Tyler for always having my back with your angelic voice and awesome lyrics❤️
Chin up girl...Merry Christmas.
Guitar ,voice,lyrics, music.. doesn't get any better than this
my heart is totally breaking more everyday from this man who told me he loved me so, my person. When I think it couldn't possibly crack more, another little piece falls off. I'm not sure I want to let it go, then it will be like it never happened. Cathartic Aerosmith, thank you, on this awful morning.

Let go, let go, let go....something very healing hearing those words over and over again!!! Sung with such passion this song.
Im 13 years old, and Aerosmith has changed my life me and my grandpa used to sit together and just listen fly high pawpaw🥰
sometimes .. aerosmith's songs leave me WITHOUT WORDS ...
Exellent song!! Thank you Aerosmith...
Great song.... Great album!!! I was only eleven and I knew that... Geez what happened to music, I remember I got this Xmas 89.... PUMP! My eleven year old would never ask me for a rock album....then again it's not 89 :(
That song makes my skin crawl. This it True Feelings coming out of my speakers..... Thanks Steven
This song makes the heart ache all over again. HURT
Mine 2
2022 And still rocking this song! Love you Arrowsmith! I got my baby back after years and weve been happy for 20 years. Nothing going to tear us apart again.
My all time favorite break up song. A beautiful song.
Wow. This Still Rocks Me. Who Could Forget Aerosmith ?? Great Song. Hi From A Fan In Lebanon Missouri.
One of my favorite songs. Timeless
This hits harder when you're actually going through it
Absolutely
It sure does...
damn! the emotions in his voice. makes you feel he felt the pain you're feeling. every word... spot on.

I love Aerosmith from Thailand......
I simply love this song, but unfortunately it reminds me of someone who deceived me and I didn't find out how many years later. It's still hard letting go. Damn hard.
So unknown and so incredible. Maybe their best or of their top songs. Strong and sweet, irresistible Steve Tyler charisma and this music...Paradise is here
Aerosmith’s masterpiece.
it took me 43 years to find my true love so keep trying
This is my favorite band. I've seen them live more times than I can count
Adam Smith 43 years? Goddamn it...is she worth waiting?
It took me that long as well,but I think I was 41 so was she and the woman use to be with a friend of mine back when I was 15, years went by and I have not seen her in over 25yrs...
I finally found her on Facebook and we started chatting,she was married but she wasn't happy and was going to get a divorce...
We hooked up about 2 weeks after we started chatting and she was the best thing/person/woman that I have ever met and been with in my 41yrs of life at the time...
She was my best friend and the love of my life...
We was together for a year and a half and she passed away.
I was so hurt and depressed because she was the best thing that ever happened to me,the depression I was in was so bad that I attempted suicide...
I now think about those 18 months we was together and they were the best time of my life!!!
Me too buddy
Found mine at 62
who's still listen this song in this year 2019??
At this very moment :)
@@ginapaolinoberry ...me too...very nice song to listen day by day
Kevin Van Hogg ‘Tis I
Me daily
I tell you, everyone with good taste of music. Aerosmith, one of the greatest band, no doubt!
Every time I hear this song I'm reminded of this diner my mom used to take my brother and I to in Baltimore back in the late 80s. Each booth had a mini jukebox and I would play this song every time we went there.
The place is long gone, but the memories aren't.
Another Aerosmith song that saved me .. at a time in my life just when I needed it
This song is just so amazing...
I Love Aerosmith ❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕🎤🎸
Yeah.. yeah.. yeah still lovin this song!
I’ve heard this song a thousand times, always kinda just blended in as “an Aerosmith song”. Then one day I actually listened to it, and it just hit different. Suddenly I can’t get enough, probably Steven Tyler’s quintessential performance. He’s adding something to every word.
Amazing
That is another great song! I'm listening to that one next 👍
@@taylormurphy7717 Thx 👌
Amo essa música 😆😆😆Linda musica da minha adolescência amoooo ah tempão bom
I didnt realize how many Aerosmith songs that I liked until I started listening to hit after hit tonight. They are one of those bands I usually just listen to on the radio when they come on every and now then.
LirikNya sangat dlm...like...👌
This was a great song that many can all relate to. It came from a period when Aerosmith wanted all their songs to sound the same (it seemed). But it stood out.
makes me want to cry. :(
f**kin heartache.
In my humble opinion, Aerosmith’s best song. Ever.
OMG this song brings back a lot of memories I so miss the 90's
Fantastic song, this is not only great food for my amp, but for my destroyed soul too.
lineR164 that's for sure
This song definitely calms the soul....We've all been there but that's cold comfort in the immediate sense.
Then the feelings all come back since my whole lifelove' my husband passed away senselessly I have never really been the same. I am the same but I don't ever think fully I will ever be the same.
Nothing better after a breakup than some good old Aerosmith
Great song if someone break your heart and she's moved on while you're still putting the pieces together. Hard as hell to see your ex found someone and you haven't yet too.... such a great song
Exs are exs, who lives from past is museum.
This song hit me in the feels a hell of a lot more than I expected it to.
when you don't look back I guess the feelins start to fade away...
used to feeeel ya fiyah..
#Aerosmith..
I always forget about this song and it's really ****ing good!
Musically what makes this song click so well is that the chorus is actually a key change. It begins in G Major, but shifts to F Major. It's a beautiful thing.
"Screw the lyrics. The Key signature is beast." That's what I'm hearing. Jk it's so true.
Lol! This is one of my favorite songs of theirs, and I'm just now learning music theory. I learned the verse without playing the music, and I couldn't find the chorus at all. Then when I did, my singer shouted so it's a key change! Totally funny!
Odd that it’s a descending key change yet still works 🤔
Little Stevie Tallarico, he makes me feel good. His vocals sure hit the soul. Thanks for everything!
