I am 76 and have lived with music all my life and have over 1,000 LP's/CD's starting in the 1950's. Each decade has produced its own stars and Bruce was certainly one of those of the 80's. However I felt that after the 80's the standard started to decline and I have bought virtually nothing since 2000. I feel privileged to have lived in what has been probably the best period in history for popular music.
For a long long time I have thought much the same thing.. But at the age of 55, I no longer play CDs or Vinyl much, yet I am enjoying more music than I ever have….because CZcams has it all there, all the great stuff from the beginning of recorded music basically… but what it also has is a lot of music I would never have found before YT came along. It might be great new covers of old classics, or else it might be brand new music being played by the kinds of artists you’ll have never heard of, but they know how to write and play real melodies, not that worthless crap that we hate, churned out by the famous but talentless twerking hacks of today. You just have to delve into all the stuff YT brings up whenever you play a song… It’s just a fantastic new world of endless and practically free music !
Beautiful piano work by Bruce. Also good sound mixing of the other instruments. I've always been one to listen to tune, rather than words. (words important to many people).
I love just sitting down for five minutes, doesn't matter where I am, and just letting life flow past me as I listen to this. I think of people I've met, some no longer with me, some happy in their own lives, and some I lost contact with, and can only hope they're doing okay. I always take time to consider other people around me in a wider context and the life path they are on, and it gives me a massive 'yeah life can suck, but overall right now it's all right' kind of feeling. Love and light to everyone reading this
I came here as a Tupac fan, never hearing the original song before, but damn, this sounds amazing. I can clearly see why Tupac liked this song so much to sample it!
@@charliekenwright6324 it’s not theft if it’s sampled. through almost every piece of sampled music, there is an entire business agreement, copyright contracts and terms, solicitors and agreements. It isn’t theft.
I wonder how many people really listen to those lyrics? Anti greed, anti racism, anti bigotry. One of the most popular songs ever that is overtly calling for equality and fairness in society
When my dad’s cancer was getting worse, I remember his singing this song in the car. Every time I hear this song now I get goosebumps and so many emotions hit me. My God he loved his 80’s music❤️
I like this comment, but, Demetre, I want you to imagine what would would happen if you sent Bruce back to the 1880s to sing his song. What do you think the effect of that would be? Would they even understand it as music? Does that mean that music - a form of art practised for thousands of years - is still evolving? And if that is true, how is that even possible? Wouldn't that be a God-given miracle right there?
This song is the middle of the eighties.The sense of freedom and liberty.No controls,no i phones,no internet,normal ways of meeting people.That is the way it was back then.If only I could go back,and stay there forever..
@@panqake4318 Until you hear Keane's "Somewhere only we know" (2004), Frank Turner's "The Way I tend to be" (2013), Coldplay's "Strawberry Swing" (2009), Newton Faulkner's "If this is it" (2009), Elbow's "One day like this" (of 2008), or even Take That's "The Flood" (2010). There are more divinely-inspired hits in which we can see the beloved Holy Spirit at work, just as we can with Bruce Hornsby. Give them a try, if you do not know them. Let me know if you see what I am on about or not. None of that is to take anything away from the magnificence of many 1970s and 1980s hits. But then The Beatles were 1960s, and the amazing "Ordinary World" from Duran Duran (yes, really) was 1993 - and that is one of the best songs, one of the best pieces of music of any kind, ever produced...
Listened to this track at a lake with my dog last summer. He had been diagnosed with Cancer but I was lucky to have 8 months left with him. He left this world on 14th December 2020 and whenever I hear this song , it take me back to last summer and I can't stop bawling 😢 I miss you so much Ben. Love you always my boy ❤❤❤
Sorry for your loss I know how it feels. My cat Rigby that’s been with me for all 17 years I’ve been alive passed on December 30th 2020, she lived to 20 years, a nice long life for a cat. Miss her very much because she was with me my whole childhood but am happy she lived a fulfilling life
No not magic - BLESSED. The Holy Spirit was and is here. And the age can as much be the new age we are going to build, as some past age of our nostalgic dreams. We can change this, we must. With Father, Son and Paraclete.
Ahhh, como eu amo essa música, em pleno 2024 ainda me emociono e muito com essa belíssima obra de arte,não tiro ela da minha playlist e ainda uso como toque do meu aparelho celular, amo❤
I’m amazed that some people still haven’t realised how music is important in our lives. I feel a sense of sadness and joy when I think of this song, it takes me right back to a time that is not coming back - the piano, the voice, the melody!!! I feel the new generation have lost something and they don’t even know it. Thank you for the music Bruce ❤
@@jonathanalbanese5665 I’m 15 , and I totally agree people don’t know what good music is anymore , the music now is the shittest music to ever exist . If only people knew what good music is !
You are right, man! It´s so comforting to listen to such well arranged music! But at the same time, it is sad to confirm present days high quality music is so poor and scarce....
This song always makes me think of a certain spring break trip to Myrtle Beach back in the 80's. My cousins and I met a group of girls from southern Ontario. One of the girls and I hit it off pretty well. Teenage love. Harmless fun in a simpler time. This was her favorite song. Lisa, I hope you are doing great.
The piano in this song is one of the most beautiful I've ever heard. This song was being played on the radio when I was driving home tonight, it's been years since I heard it ... and damn I forgot how stunning it is. There's something about 80s music that is so special and timeless.
One of my many regrets is that I never learned to play music. I tried to learn piano at the age of 9 but the teacher, a ghastly woman who lived above a bar called the Rising Sun (no, really), would beat me for not knowing something or other, so I decided I must be no good and gave it up. If she had not abused me I could probably sit at a piano today and play the intro to this song, just like we see in the first twenty seconds here, and that would make me happier than if I won the Lottery. But she did, and I can't, and that's another reason why paedophilia is wrong.
It also breaks all the audio rules of mid-1980s hit singles - it uses real piano instead of synclavier, there's no big reverb pop on the snare, the bass isn't a fake funk slap-bass synth. It's not "urban dance", it's not "metal ballad", and it's not Hi-NRG. I don't know the story behind the song, but I bet the record company said "oh this will never be a hit single" but put it out anyway just to shut someone up, and then were surprised when it took off.
I'd be honored if some Bruce Hornsby fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of AGAINST ALL ODDS by Phil Collins and WALKING IN MEMPHIS by Marc Cohn on my YT channel in tribute to a couple of great piano pop standards from the 80s/90s. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and Happy '020s.
In my modest opinion, this is an exceptionally good song. Engaging rhythm, thoughtful lyrics and a really memorable melody. Also, the singing voice sounds just perfect for this song.
It is of superior quality. I didn't think he could excel it, and then I heard Mandolin Rain, which I still believe is one of the best songs ever written.
the strange thing is, in these years and it's not just Bruce...they've created music that's forever. The music is good today, but it won't be in 10 years. Trends, hits are constantly changing. But this music is forever.
Escucahaba esta canción en bares y restaurantes y no sabía su nombre, la canción me gusta mucho, sobre todo la música del piano. Tardé un año en encontrarla y ahora soy feliz.
Saludos mi hermano desde San Pedro Sula #HONDURAS esto es muy sensacional para los oídos con todo su esplendor. Este cantante estadounidense acaparó la atención con esta bonita obra musical.
There isn't a better song to date to play through a good quality surround sound system than this song. Every instrument's sound comes through. I have a quality system, and i can tell you that the bass at 36-37 seconds running in my surround speakers at the back man makes owning a system worth it. This song is worth it! Thanks Bruce!!
80's...I heard it on the radio and loved this song. Despite not having the internet, the hits reached countries all over the world and many of us had no way of knowing how far they reached. Today, reading comments from people from so many different countries, I begin to understand the dimension of this, we have always been connected even without knowing how much. ❤
I DO know why ... because the Holy Spirit helped Bruce come up with this immaculate and tremendous piece of art. We can't even say if it is happy, sad, melancholy or ecstatic, for it is all at the same time. It's love and truth (and genius) - precisely what the Holy Spirit is...
@@sidpheasant7585 Sid there is a CZcams clip where he explains all. He seen poverty, injustice and racism on the streets in his home town. A great vid to watch
@@tommac5924 Yes have seen it, and do like it. I am fairly clear about his motivation, as is he. But I am interested in the mechanism allowing him to give sublime effect to what he felt. That is the miraculous part. We know Bruce is talented, but this piece transcends all the others, and transcends simplistic concepts like happy or sad. That happens when the Holy Spirit swings into action behind us, to give us wisdom, insight, strength and capacity to act... If we do not realise what has happened to us it might be seen as a lost opportunity, though the effect is there anyway. But I did realise when I stopped being "blind", and I'm very grateful for that, so I try to pass on and give back, as with this correspondence to you.
I saw this guy in Manchester many years ago / the support band failed to show up - guess what Bruce strolled onto to the stage and played for 3+ hours absolute legend that is the man
Sometimes a song comes along, it causes the brain to fall In love with its sound, the words to ring emotions deep within and the tune to forever be imprinted upon our very soul.. always to be able to create these same effects down through the years whenever we hear it.. memories, feelings and emotions.. the stuff music was made for… this song is it.
I bought this Album when it came out in the '80's and have loved it since then. I love the the whole Album, in fact. It's August 21st 2022, and I will never get tired of watching and listening to Bruce Hornsby. Excellent Pianist! Thank you for posting this song.
Music from the gods, just beautifully crafted, a wonderful flow of a song ! This tune means so much to us who grew up through the 80’s and listened to such timeless classics……..
I am in my early 20s - I had just passed my driving test - I am driving home in the summer in a beautiful countryside setting with the window down listening to this song - now, 36 yrs on, I still love this song and that memory is still so strong - this is my all time favorite piece. Thank you 80s for being so great :-)
Thank you, Holy Spirit, for taking human genius and raising it higher, filling it with more meaning that we can fully take. But we try, and as we do it's as great as it is humbling. It just takes the breath away... And when that happens, whose breath fills that void? You know...
Have been playing this ever since it came out, consequently my girls were reared on it. My 24 year old told me the other day she had this on her 'Homesick' playlist while at Uni. None of her house mates had ever heard of it and were completely converted. I feel I have helped moved civilisation forward a millimetre or two!😢
These musicians were perfecting their craft not chasing money and popularity .It came anyway .They were contented to just share their love and wisdom through the music .I feel so much pain living in this present version that the world has taken on and thats because the 70s ,80s and early 90s gave me such a happy and peaceful time that I just cant adapt to whats going on now in music . Thank you Bruce !

Listening to this, this is the proof for me that 70s and 80s music was the perfect blend of talented musicians and creativity.
thats a pretty obvious fact. I don't even consider 21st century pop as music
@@panqake4318 Until you hear Keane's "Somewhere only we know" (2004), Frank Turner's "The Way I tend to be" (2013), Coldplay's "Strawberry Swing" (2009), Newton Faulkner's "If this is it" (2009), Elbow's "One day like this" (of 2008), or even Take That's "The Flood" (2010).

And the flip side of life in the 80s for many,and still today. Some things take a long time to change.
Nobody can beat the 80.s no way I still play 80.s music today
Thank you dad for showing me this song. Born in 97 and still my favourite song ever made.
nothing like this on the radio now. You would have loved growing up in the 80's & listening to that music
@@alfie8472 Brilliant want in the 80is and 90is was good times l was born in 72 ...
Bravo dad 😍😍😍
Oh yes, we were there! Beautiful@@alfie8472
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
the strange thing is, in these years and it's not just Bruce...they've created music that's forever. The music is good today, but it won't be in 10 years. Trends, hits are constantly changing. But this music is forever.
Em pleno 2023 ouvindo essa obra de arte, isso sim que é música😍❤️

Excelente canção!! Suave e melódica.
I grew up in the 80's. This song takes me back to great times. Pulls out the inner feelings of then. It's magical!
My first year of high school.
@@germanicelt God bless you. Peace and love
Ive missed this so much I'm a 70s kid, n love most genres, even tho some people in my family tell me turn that shxx off! How dare they?
we were very lucky to think these kids have dross like sherrin nutini and that obnoxious bastard capaldi
Your songs were pretty good too Phil
Best piano riff ever.
Period.
agree!!
Simply lovely
Fuck yea
This and the Baywatch theme ✌
followed by walking in Memphis
This song is so beautiful & timeless,something you can listen to forever & always love it.
È una musica che libera la fantasia dalle catene della vita frenetica e ti dà un senso di libertà.
This tune is amazing big up shout to my mum in heaven.

I'm still listening, from 1986... :-)

Why stop at 20 years
And still things are the same. 🥲
It's gotta be one of the best songs ever written. Incredible piano playing
Exactly and I’m addicted 😁, brings me to When i was young and carefree
@James Tudor Me too :)
@James Tudor A bit tricky...as I don't have a piano at the moment! 😁
Incredible piano playing? This is a piece of cake for Hornsby. You should check out some of his other stuff.
Fuck yea
Escucahaba esta canción en bares y restaurantes y no sabía su nombre, la canción me gusta mucho, sobre todo la música del piano. Tardé un año en encontrarla y ahora soy feliz.
Saludos mi hermano desde San Pedro Sula #HONDURAS esto es muy sensacional para los oídos con todo su esplendor. Este cantante estadounidense acaparó la atención con esta bonita obra musical.
What a beautiful song and that intro is 🔥🔥🔥
I think this is the most appropriate time to be listening to this song.
Yes, for me, its don't accept the new abnormal.
Itssooo...noo??
@NPC69 😂
Why?
👏👏👏
“Can we get sued for this?”
“Not sure”
A few lyrics later
“Yeah they got us”
😂
Greendale is the way it is
omg just watched the episode
@@andreashaltstop3551 which is?
@@ConanObrien22 It's from Community, Season 1. A character plagiarizes The Way It Is and makes a school song out of it.
There isn't a better song to date to play through a good quality surround sound system than this song. Every instrument's sound comes through. I have a quality system, and i can tell you that the bass at 36-37 seconds running in my surround speakers at the back man makes owning a system worth it. This song is worth it! Thanks Bruce!!
Nearly 40 years later and constantly puts a smile on my face.😇
Now in my 80th year, this is one song that has stuck with me over the years, brilliant music.
Stay strong ..and live long to enjoy great ballads like this!
The Best for You!
❤❤❤❤❤
Guau 80 años!!! y disfrutando de esta música, yo 62 y soñando cuando escucho estas obras de arte, lo mejor para ti👍🇺🇾
Wenn diese Musik im Radio aufschlägt werde ich ruhig, bremse, bleibe stehen, um die wundervolle Komposition andächtig zu hören ❤
Gut beschrieben, bist sicher ein cooler Typ, fühl dich respektiert, von Herzen alles Gute.
Esse era o tempo em que se ouvia musicas boas isso é um clássico sem dúvidas
Mt chapado som,bem combinado a harmonia
Incredible vocals and the piano tones are nothing but perfection.
as a hip hop fan..let me say this.. this song deserves more views
.Timeless music..
hip off is fucking garbage trash noise
Firstname Lastname --- No it isnt, you probably listen to the wrong type of hip hop, the ones that involve sex, drugs and cursing
A.R.S Moves: Hey, plenty of good hip-hop involves fucking, getting fucked up, and saying words like "fuck". :)
Have you listened to changes by tupac then???
Of course hip hop fans would love this. It is used in one of hip hop's best songs.
Tudo nessa música é lindo. Melodia, letra, clip. Quanta harmonia.
2020 and still one of the best songs ever ❤️
👏👍🇧🇷🇧🇷Brazil
I only found this now haha
Canada here🇨🇦👍
Yes ✌🏻🌹🏴🇬🇧
Totally agree
The 80s were such a great time....That’s the way it was.
One of my 80s favourites.... anytime...what a song?
I'm here in 2024 Bruce you are a true legend lots of live my brother..I'm listening from South Africa.
😊
One of the finest songs of the eighties. It hasn't dated at all. I love it.
I totally agree, Bruce Hornsby and the Range, just great musicians period!
lol its dated
The piano from 2:22 to 3:06 may be amongst the finest sound ever heard by humankind
Also from 3:48 to 4:38 the best piano riff ever!
Beginning to end, the piano work gives me goosebumps. My all time favorite riff, a life ambition is to play a cover of this at a gig someday.
Fact!
Thats right
Agree
80's...I heard it on the radio and loved this song. Despite not having the internet, the hits reached countries all over the world and many of us had no way of knowing how far they reached.
Today, reading comments from people from so many different countries, I begin to understand the dimension of this, we have always been connected even without knowing how much. ❤
Hello from Portugal, listening now
@@deolimar1977Um abraço do Brasil ❤
@@Livinha7777 🙌 🇧🇷
@@deolimar1977 🙌 🇵🇹
Best comment, beautiful thought, thank you
This song makes me miss an era i never experienced.
Anemoia
I really don't know why but I get all chocked every time I hear this. What a beautiful, timeless classic. Up there with the best of them Bruce.
I DO know why ... because the Holy Spirit helped Bruce come up with this immaculate and tremendous piece of art. We can't even say if it is happy, sad, melancholy or ecstatic, for it is all at the same time. It's love and truth (and genius) - precisely what the Holy Spirit is...
@@sidpheasant7585 Sid there is a CZcams clip where he explains all. He seen poverty, injustice and racism on the streets in his home town. A great vid to watch
@@tommac5924 Yes have seen it, and do like it. I am fairly clear about his motivation, as is he. But I am interested in the mechanism allowing him to give sublime effect to what he felt. That is the miraculous part. We know Bruce is talented, but this piece transcends all the others, and transcends simplistic concepts like happy or sad. That happens when the Holy Spirit swings into action behind us, to give us wisdom, insight, strength and capacity to act... If we do not realise what has happened to us it might be seen as a lost opportunity, though the effect is there anyway. But I did realise when I stopped being "blind", and I'm very grateful for that, so I try to pass on and give back, as with this correspondence to you.
Exactly the same mate 👍
Me too😔Reminds me of my Nana😭
I saw this guy in Manchester many years ago / the support band failed to show up - guess what Bruce strolled onto to the stage and played for 3+ hours absolute legend that is the man
He's a powerhouse solo act just by himself hey!
A timeless classic by Bruce Hornsby and the range, thanks for this.
This song is in my DNA. ❤ What a piano masterpiece with a virtuous pianist. I love you!
Totally and literally - sound and light memory. Great comment, thank you
Surely one of the very best pop piano solos ever! Every note - perfection.
Was at a celebration of life last night and a son of the deceased at 2am picked up a guitar and played this. Hit hard. Stay humble world.
How right you are about the world.
God be with you.

Sometimes a song comes along, it causes the brain to fall In love with its sound, the words to ring emotions deep within and the tune to forever be imprinted upon our very soul.. always to be able to create these same effects down through the years whenever we hear it.. memories, feelings and emotions.. the stuff music was made for… this song is it.
One of the best songs of all times!
2020 still listening to this.
Somethings will never change...
Muratdinho Muratinho always,'cause I'm old school...I think now there's no good songs
Thats just the way it is
1986: New and Freshy
2018: Classic and Timeless
nice and beautiful talk!
Yep. I want to return to the 80s permanently. Life sucks now.
That's just the way it is m8
couldnt have put it any better

🩵 Thank you Mr Hornsby. "thats just the way it is...Ah, but don't you believe them". Respect. such a classy and timelessly relevant song.
One of the ultimate piece of work and a masterpiece. Thus the entire song will remain in the History of Rock. Forever.
Only 14 million views. Come on, this song deserves way better 🙌
I bought this Album when it came out in the '80's and have loved it since then. I love the the whole Album, in fact. It's August 21st 2022, and I will never get tired of watching and listening to Bruce Hornsby. Excellent Pianist! Thank you for posting this song.
Į agree
Those were the days. my friend. Nothing like the 80. Those were my best years. I was 23 and so young.....god bless the 80'.
Love it
80s not 80’s
Just spreading the word.
@@helpimadog-speedruns8606 Shit poo dung crap. Just spreading the turd.
The main reason why i will always regard the 80s music as the best ever since music began❤
Music from the gods, just beautifully crafted, a wonderful flow of a song ! This tune means so much to us who grew up through the 80’s and listened to such timeless classics……..
In my view, music from the one God, through the Holy Spirit...
@@sidpheasant7585 Every f'kn youtube comments section.....
@@nelsonhibbert5267 what does "every" mean? You know how many there are? It's inconceivable...
There are songs that just stir up your spirit. This is one of them!
Lots of love, from South Africa.

Love you Bruce great song I am 65 and remember it well even the apartment I lived in listening to it ..Janice from Toronto Ont..xx
Hello, how are you doing it's nice meeting you here ..
This song reminds of a time when I had no job, little money, no-one to love, or be loved by and not much hope...but that's just the way it is.....
Going through this atm. I hope I'll pull through.
Things will never be the same
love the piano solos....thanks Bruce!
The way we were
That's way it is the piano is the best.
Me too.
we will all remember Bruce and Tupac ❤
Among the top 5 songs that makes me love the 80s music so much despite not being born in that era. What a masterpiece!
I am in my early 20s - I had just passed my driving test - I am driving home in the summer in a beautiful countryside setting with the window down listening to this song - now, 36 yrs on, I still love this song and that memory is still so strong - this is my all time favorite piece. Thank you 80s for being so great :-)
Thank you, Holy Spirit, for taking human genius and raising it higher, filling it with more meaning that we can fully take.
But we try, and as we do it's as great as it is humbling.
It just takes the breath away...
And when that happens, whose breath fills that void?
You know...
I have similar memories driving my old Toyota corona
This is a great diving song that transcends the years
Good for jou Peter Hall happy and safe travels. Greetings from South Africa.
Love it xx memories.
Have been playing this ever since it came out, consequently my girls were reared on it. My 24 year old told me the other day she had this on her 'Homesick' playlist while at Uni. None of her house mates had ever heard of it and were completely converted. I feel I have helped moved civilisation forward a millimetre or two!😢
Por ti
Just brilliant 😂
Real music right here 👌
What a great day to have a 'Homesick' playlist. Might make one for my kids. Thank you!
More like an inch ❤️
Haha, well done.
This piano melody is so iconic. Also, love on the video when the drummer first kicks in. Brilliant.
These musicians were perfecting their craft not chasing money and popularity .It came anyway .They were contented to just share their love and wisdom through the music .I feel so much pain living in this present version that the world has taken on and thats because the 70s ,80s and early 90s gave me such a happy and peaceful time that I just cant adapt to whats going on now in music . Thank you Bruce !
So so true they were the lovers of music truely no fame chasing just doing good music for the masses God bless them❤❤❤
Certain songs do NOT deserve to be disliked... This one of them.
This song is stolen
This song is streets ahead.
this is not an ordinary song...this is an anthem...
For me too,my friend
