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!
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 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....😮❤.
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.
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
The 80's made me who I am, we had this great music on the radio, but I also had the fear of WW 3, in my mind. I mean some days the thought just made me reckless and not give a fudge about anything. The music helped, it calmed me and helped my thoughts slow down and realize, I could not stop it, if crazy men started lobbing ICBM'S at each other. Man, it was a wild and sometimes scary time. Be excellent to each other people, we're all we got. Later.
HA HA I totally came here looking for this song after watching Real Genius! I used to LOVE this song when it came out and had forgotten about it until watching the movie again. Now 30 years later- here it is! Awesome tune!!!
Moles and trolls, moles and trolls, work, work, work, work, work! We never see the light of day. We plan this thing for weeks and all they want to do is study. I'm disgusted. I'm sorry but it's not like me, I'm depressed. There was what, no one at the mutant hamster races, we only had one entry into the Madame Curie look-alike contest and he was disqualified later. Why do I bother? Mitch - You know, um, something strange happened to me this morning... Chris - Was it a dream where you see yourself standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you? Mitch - No... Chris - Why am I the only one who has that dream?
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.
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.
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
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!
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.....
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 🤌.
It's pretty remarkable how many people my music touches...I think I am very lucky in that way. I think I have you to be the most thankful for 🎹🌹🎹🌹 this is my Gmail (offibryanadam2021@gmail.com) message me and I will keep in touch with you...
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!!!
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.
I saw Byran Adams in concert.in lake placid new York. Awesome concert and artist. I remember it well. That's when I met my girlfriend wife now ex wife. God i miss those days.. You do Not know what u have until u loose it. God i stroll love her. I Will always love her . Miss her immensely. But to much time have passed. Luv u Georgia.
Who's listening in 2024?
Yes! ME..

Love and Light 144
One of the best album openers ever! Keith Scott is a legend!
We were slim, cool, and very good looking back in the 80’s. Take me back. PLEASE!!!
Now everyone today is ugly no morals or care today miserable society.
I feel you ❤
Yeah if only its true that we could really use the time machine car of mc fly, we gonna get back to the 80s my friend. Rock on.
Rock stars were usually slim and drugs helped with that
One of the most underrated songs ever written and played to perfection. Timeless....
totally agree john.....one of my favs of all time...whole song and cometogether is genius...you have good taste!
It was an international, smash hit. How was it underrated?
@@ctruth6185 it was hardly played on the radio in America. I can't figure out why. I think this is his best song..
Nice vid and great song. But I don't think this is the real "live" recording. Sounds too studio.
Bryan adams had no underated songs
Not gonna lie. Real Genius brought me here 😁😁
lol....same
"I want you to think about what you've done Kent, and from now on stop playing with yourself."
"Taylor!'
Same here
In the 80s we didn't wish we were any where else we knew what an amazing time we were growing up in... Class of 86...
Becky Breggar class of 89 here, saluting you
Becky Breggar yes please bring it back just for one day to live in no worry’s and have fun class of 88 !
Class of 87!
Class of 82 and it was the best of times.
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!
Thank you Bryan Adams for making me love the 80’s!!!!
The best man
Keith Scott a very underrated 🎸 player! 😊
The lead guitarist is excellent.
In the words of the great Andrew Benard, “I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them.”
Holy shit! That is one of the greatest quotes ever! I remember watching that in one of the last episodes of The Office and it has always stuck with me
Ah yes the 80s I remember listening to songs like this with my fellow GIs after a hard Days work this was in early days of MTV
WHOA 😳 THATS DEEP !!! That’s a good way to think about it
There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them
Absolutely
I agree
Dang. I feel you..where is that DeLorean time machine at, I wanna go back in time and kiss that girl like I should have then.
It's going to happen, I'm thinking🌹🔥
For me, Young and Restless by Prism, a band he used to write songs for is the high water mark for this.
Bryan Adams is the best artists
Underrated song by Bryan.. doesn't get the radio play it should
I hear it regularly on Bob FM here in Pittsburgh PA.
This generation couldn't feel real 80s rock
This is when there was real music..brings back so many beautiful memories...thank you Bryan...always.❣️
Class of 82 Tennessee Tammy loves 80s in 2021
Ah yes, the good old days. Back during the time of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia.
Keith Scott is just always on point! So underrated! Amazing Guitarist!
One of the best songs from the 80s, and I believe it’s Bryan Adams’ best song.
Agreed! What a song!
Cuts like a knife is best
Heaven is for me the best, but this song is also a big masterpiece!
Add Somebody to my playlist. He had some great songs!
Ditto.
Can we talk about how good the guitar sounds in this song?
Having the time of our lives without even knowing it
35 years later and this song is just as bomb! 1985 Real Genius!!
Bryan has a huge following in south east asia specially Indian sub continent..... Every 80s and 90s kid know of him and some are diehard fans like me.
I can't believe that this is a very underrated song.
80 Era was the best best bands showcased on MTV. Great music that time period.
Wish I could press a rewind button and go back to the 80's.
Same.
Back in 80s probably people wished a rewind button to 50s!
me too !
In 2040s people will wish to rewind back to 2010s :D
Doubtful.Todays music is completely forgettable.
This has to be the most underrated song of all time.
One night love affairs make us sad.
I recently became a fan! From Brazil
🤘🤠 From California
Most underrated Bryan Adams song ever! Pure gold!!!
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
Bryan was so good!
He is a professional photographer now.
What a time class of 84 would do anything to have one more day there again!
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....😮❤.
@@randykirk2011 my wife and I have been married 33 years now with no end in sight. I haven't figured her out yet, so...
Unfortunately this bygone era we will never see again, music is garbage now for the most part, this is all we have now are videos and our memories.
This song is used to great effect in the movie "Real Genius." The chorus hits just as Mitch sees Jordan at the "pool party." Beautiful song!
Jordan is simply Beautiful on so many levels, who could blame him?
Yep, thought the same time as I watched it last night. Sounded great in the movie and the timing of it was just right. Great tune 👍
Im 35 yrs younger listen to this! 80s rule!
Bryan adams perfection in 2024
MY FAVOURITE SINGER IS BRYAN ADAMS HIS SONGS ARE THE BEST,,,,,,
I agree with you 💯 percent that Brian Adams is the best band ever dude rock on 🤘
Brian Adams Lol 😂

He's not bad to look at either

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.
If only we could go back...
I was 20 and cruising Sydney Harbour
@@honeywest9487 id love to go back
I was 20 and lived in London having the time of my life.
Cruisin Belmont 70s...Fresno. Saw them Radcliffe with Journey and Eddie Money 84.
Real Genius brought me here… Kidding but its on the soundtrack.
I met a beautiful girl that I never would ever imagine being with. This song happened in my life..Brandy was her name.. it was magical
This is Bryan’s best work IMO. As good today as ever and totally underrated. Just great rock & roll.
Totally agree....nuff said.
And it's mostly Brian on vocals...very little back up. Awesome song!
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.
The whole album is great. Not one "throwaway song" on it.
This and The Heat of Night. Both not flogged to death on radio like Summer and the highly cringeworthy Everything I Do...
I still have all Bryan Adams cassettes, and they're all working perfectly, we were tremendously blessed to live those amazing 80s years
Me too!
Me too
Same here!😎

Kids today just don't know what they missed in those years
Thumbs up if you looove this song!
Hello friend, how're you doing today??
Old school Adams was awesome 👏
Love the bass in this song.
Class of 85 - the best years of our lives !! Much love peace to all!
yes my love
The movie Real Genius brought me here
That movie is so chock-full of great things. The dialoque, soundtrack, cast, plot.
Young Bryan is so cute💕
When melodic rock ruled the world. The Reckless album is now 30 years old and still a masterpiece. Bryan Adams catalog of work needs no justification.
bryan adams is an amazing talent, a canadian legend and hes one of my heros as his music played a huge part of my childhood that made it interesting.
totally agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Got that album best song for me is kids wanna rock
Bryan Adams Reckless 1984
37 yrs now,,,,,,,
Every generation thinks the music in their time was the best. Im no different. Man we had it good in the 80s!
Good days. Best music. No social media to destroy anything like today. 80s was the best time to grow up. I miss them days.
The song that inspired the creation of Tinder.
WAS LIVING IN THE SOUTH SIDE OF CHICAGO AND WAS BORN IN 1975 WHO CARES LOVED BRYAN ADAMS!!!!!
The 80’s were magical times!! Everything was new and anything was possible!!
YEA!!! It sure was!!
Class of '84😊
Mitch and Jordan like to listen to this while swimming
Totally underrated song... absolutely love this song
Ich auch der Song spiegelt mein innerstes Fühlen wider
This song and summer of 69 are my two faves from Bryan!!
Same with me!
One night love affair! Partyrime!
Cheers!
Like!
Class of 1983 ...best times
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!
Are they still together?
yes
And it's Brian vocals...if you notice there is very little background vocals...almost none.
@@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!
I'd go back in a heartbeat.
Fire up the Delorean.
One of my favorite 80's performers.
Bryan Adams is indeed a handsome guy
......don't forget keith
Miss the 80’s always
One of my best songs by Bryan Adams ever
I agree
Truly. How I wish I could go back to 80s
Absolutely ❤❤❤
YES YES YES✅👍
Same I love ❤️ all of the Brian Adams songs rock on 🤘 Brian Adams one of my favorite band on earth 🌎 dude lol 😂
Two words: Real Genius.
I can't hear this song and not think of this 80s gem.
Hell yeah brother
Mitch!!!!!!!
Same with Summertime Girls by Y&T
Lazlo, Buddy!
"Stop playing with yourself!" I loved that scene.
Today my moms Eye Specialist looks like Brian Adams! Cute!

Adams's lead guitarist always had the magic touch. No exception here. The solo is solid, and that riff at 4:00 is just brilliant.
Keith Scott is underrated.
Yep no doubt about it. Midas touch for sure!!
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 🤌.
I wish I knew the brand name of the guitar he played in the video.
