What a way to end the Spider-Man film. One of the best scenes in the movie and one of the best scenes I’ve seen period. Shows what a track can really do for scene.
ong. i cant wait for the next movie
Thought I was the only one
@@Willsg703 nah Brodie
This was on Spiderverse? Haven't seen it yet that's why I'm asking
Yes, it’s played during the final act and it’s the perfect song for the scene. The lyrics add so much depth to Miles’ predicament.
this is the perfect song to play when you meet your alternate self who's also a vigilante
Spoiler!!!!!! Please wait at least a week before you say any spoiler.
What if you are the vigilante and they are the alternate version of yourself
Same I don’t think that prowler is a bad guy
@@zsoltpusztai4909 Dude he said nothing that hinted he was talking about ATSV
@@hearttrashyeah but context clues exist dude
“Uncle Aaron, please just hear me out”
*Aaron turning up the volume*
Such a chilling scene, this song is goddamn good and fitting!
😊❤🙏🏾🙏🏾✨ facts ✝️
A good guy? 🤣
@@Jray181818 facts 😂🙏🏾
Shout out to my man Aaron Davis for playing this bop on the record
You know for a fact Uncle Aaron has two milk crates of straight fire
@@iceman10129I gotta see his collection now. 🔥🔥🔥
“A good guy?” 🤣
@@Jray181818 “please trust me I know you don’t want to be The Prowler”
@@Jray181818"I’m not…"
The vibe changed so quick when Uncle Aaron put this on
yeap. I was like this is perfect villain work
I knew this song along time ago but I had completely forgot about it, who knew my son begging me to take him to watch a movie would bring this classic back into my life 🙏🏽
Very wholesome! Yeah I forgot about this song for over a decade suprisingly.
That's why I say ain't no love 😭 in my city
Good
that's wassup
Bruh when they played this song at the end of Spider-Man across the spider verse it fit the scene so well. The mood just changed once this song came on. If you know you know
yesssss sameeee
we can all relate to a world without a spider man
@@SexyFacebut where are the avengers. Are they not strong enough to take down the Kingpin, Doc-Oc, and other Spider-Man villians
@Your_Lovely_Beelzebub yep, that’s the reason Tom wasn’t shown because Sony doesn’t own his Spider-Man
@your_lovely_beelzebub3964 I know, but don’t they still exist in Earth 42 off screen?
I found it! This was the best song to play at the end of spider man. Absolutely unbelievably beautiful
This song is a classic
The artist, the lyrics, the message is Perfect 😊😅🎉😂❤
hey who else is here because of good taste in music?
No music like this anymore
I am and it’s wonderful
Deep Purple->Whitesnake-> Bobby Blue Bland. Thx David Coverdale for sending me spinning around in the blues
O o f-
I came here because my phone randomly played this song even tho I don't have any music apps and I never downloaded or listen to this song before-
Me
Uncle Aaron always playing bangers in any universe
Pretty sure kingpin approves this message
What about his beat in earth 1048 🙃
Songs like this hit harder when you're old enough to understand them.
Str8 Up make a grown man 😢😭
💯😎
Oh man,they really do..
Can anyone recommend more songs like this?
@@gangstapat4802 Members Only Bobby Blue Bland
When I heard this in the theater of Across The Spiderverse, it cemented it as my favorite movie of the year.
What a chilling scene!💯🔥🎶. That vynal HITTT different 😂
@@daniboiyy I was tryna not to jump out my seat, bro lmaooo.
The movie, score and soundtrack all combined in a way so few movies can
This is not a song. This is the sound of an amazing soul. Thank god for this amazing art.
well said
for sure ! great tune
Never got his just do as far as I am concerned. because I have been a radio fanatic for the last 45+ years. NEVER rem his name being mentioned, and if it was I would have remembered.
The music sounds so beautiful and sad at the same time. It makes me imagine of how downtowns (particularly those in the US like Detroit) were decaying during the time this music was created.
Yeah, I had a chance to see Bland when played in Detroit, missed it and vowed I see him again, not long he passed away.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
As a 39 yr old who heard this way before Spider-Man it makes me proud to see others get introduced to this song through film and appreciate it not just because of the scene it’s played in but just for the feels. Salute to Sony and the directors of that masterpiece
hi batman
SALUTE TO THE INCREDIBLE VOCALS OF BOBBY BLUE BLAND - ONLY REASON FOR THE GREATNESS OF THIS SONG!
Same age, here. I hope you are doing fine, brother.
OMG. I DANCED XMAS EVE AT DONS MEAT MARKET ST LOUIS MO. YES WAY BACK DOWN MEMORY LANE. THE STORE WAS CAPTURED BY THE SONG A TIME TO REMEBER
OH I FORGOT AT 71 I STILL DANCE TO THE MEDLEYS
Took my grandbabies (2 little Spidermen) to see Spiderman...heard Mr. Bobby, SALUTE and 🙏🏾 to you sir. Your presence was felt ❤💪🏾
This is one of the greatest songs EVER WRITTEN. My God. Probably one of the most ICONIC blues records ever.
a Masterpiece.
I agree😊
Don’t use the Lords name in vain
@@Moniclemonicle.not even for a song like this?
Its more SOUL than Blues 🎸🎶☮️✌️
"Please trust me! I know you don't want be the Prowler!."
"I'm not."
“Uncle Aaron? Just hear me out.”
*Boosts Volume
Ok someone tell me that I was not the only one in theater singing this song when the scene came on. My kids started smiling because they already knew I was going to sing. This is my jam.
Same, man, same. Great track to end the film before the credits hit
Before everyone starts arguing about who was “here before and after across the spider-verse,” let’s appreciate that we all discovered this song.
My mom use listening to his song . Ain't no love when mom ain't around.my mom died Nov. 8 2019 .l miss her. R,l. P.mother
Sorry for your loss🙏🙏
LIKE when my Poppa died, wasn't no MORE LOVE 4me out here 😢
RIP To your lovely mom😭😭😭😭
You and i have the same sadness. 😭😭😭😭
💗
R.I.P bro
I’m dedicating this to my grandma who died a few years back. This was her favorite song, I loved her so much, When I was born I didn’t get to see her in her prime so I always only met her in the senior home but I always heard so much stories about her and my dad which made me so happy and blessed to have her related to me. She even was a nurse in the World War. I love her so much. 🙏 1916-2017
stay strong bro
🙏🙏
RIP Grandma GameShack
A great song
Power to the people of life 🎷
Soul music rocks, it's a pity we dont hear these kinda music on the radio stations
Prince thought streaming companies were forcing crap like Justin Bieber et al down kids throats.
Yeah,
you hear a lot in his voice.
Found him two years ago in the south side St Pete
I agree Maybe the radio stations can work it 🤠 in called Flashback intro to ten songs blues, or jazz,soul music 🎶💓🎶 etc..Maybe the Flashback can be at least five goodies in a row 😉😀😘🤗💓💓🤠👍 l love Bobby Blue 💓❤️🥰
Sirius xm. The blues channels are like my first three saved channels.
It was great to hear this again. Perfect for the scene
Perfectly captured the essence of that scene. Spider Verse definitely kino
Spider verse is trash
It doesn't matter how you got here. You're here now with this greatness in your ears.
That horn riff at about 2:18 is one of the best melodies ever
One of my favorite getget-up and gotget-out sayings, I n the day. For my school kids, also , Lincoln lawyer greatest soundtrack!!
For real. The American Gangster trailer brought me here.
MY BROTHER IN CHRIST YES
Damn straight!
using this as a replay button hahaha
In every universe uncle Aaron has a great taste in music.
Rest in Peace Bobby Bland is My Grandma Annie Ruth first Cousin.❤
In power
Who else is listening to bobby in 2020
Ethel
Me
Me
👍
Me!
A voice so nice, I remember so much of these videos, mean I live through all of this, we didn't have cell phone, we didn't have U tube, we didn't have Facebook, but look at me lived to use it all.🎉❤
I knew about this song long before Into The Spider-Verse, but that movie brought me here anyway. 😂
Same.
This is the soundtrack of America.
Same for Britain mate, and I'm a limey.
@@wobblybobengland Right on brother.
whitesnake did it pretty well
No shit bro...this country over the past 4 years has nose dived to hell.
@@Methadone4Life right on
Glad you Spider Man fans discovered this song. For those of us who actually grew up, it tells completely different story!! This song is still true today!!
Uncle Aaron has good music taste
ah what a joy it was to hear this when watching spider-verse with the grandkids ☺️ brings me back
I remember my mother and aunts sitting up all night playing Bobby Bland as they were playing cards. Miss those days as a kid.
Yolanda Thompson my mom's did the same her and all her sisters
What a nice memory
those never die...
Yes indeed! I am now 54 and born and raised in the GREAT east bay town of Pittsburg ! This music touched us ALL!
me too!
Every Spider gangsta til Uncle Aaron plays the old school music
An iconic blues singer . One of my favorites .
Spiderman bringing old heads and zoomers together again.
loool fr
Play this song every time I tie the good version of myself to a punching back and interrogate him.
Thanks Across the Spiderverse to show me this masterpiece
"I know you don't want to be The Prowler"
"I'm not"
Ain't no version better than this original...
FACTS!!
JAY Z STILL MADE IT SOUND GOOD DOE
IDK, the Whitesnake version is something else too.
In my opinion the reggae version from AL Brown is as good or better. But that's a personal taste. Keep lovin each other!
The Lincoln Lawyer this song is perfect for the opening scene love his voice
My grandad used to play this so much before he passed in 2012
Who would think a spider man film would trigger all the warm memories i had with him :,)
RIP Captain Morales (IYKYK)!
"First the Spider-Gang break up, now every day I wake up, somebody got a problem with Miles..."
[Chorus]
Ain't no love in the heart of the city
Ain't no love in the heart of town
Ain't no love and it's sure nuff a pity
Ain't no love cause you ain't around
[Verse 1]
When you were mine
Oh, I was feeling so good
Cause you lovelied up
This whole neighborhood
[Bridge]
But now that you're gone
You know the sun don't shine
From the city hall to the county line
And that's why I said
[Chorus]
Ain't no love in the heart of the city
Ain't no love in the heart of town
Ain't no love and it sure is a pity
Ain't no love cause you ain't around
[Verse 2]
Every place that I go
Oh, it seems so strange
Without you there
Things have changed
The nights are cold
There's a blanket of gloom
Another teardrop falls
In my lonely room
[Chorus]
I said ain't no love
In the heart of the city
Ain't no love in the heart of town
Ain't no love, ain't any pity
Ain't no love cause you ain't around
[Bridge]
And now that you're gone
Oh, the sun don't shine
From the city hall to
The county line, I said
[Chorus]
Ain't no love in the heart of the city
Ain't no love in the heart of town
Ain't no love, it sure is a pity
Ain't no love cause you ain't around
Cause you ain't around
Ain't no love in the heart of the city
Ain't no love in this great big old town
Ain't no love and ain't it a pity
Ain't no love cause you ain't around
Ain't no love in the heart of the city
Ain't no love in the heart of this town
Thanks for that
One of the best songs ever written my favorite stuff
Was looking for this after seeing the norwegian TV series Beforeigners. Love this song.
Yes, I heard it there the first time too.
Amazing.
Yeah, love the song and the series.
Have you ever heard the remake of this one by the 80s band Whitesnake?
@@mikehall3489 Just heard in it. Not even half as good as Bobby Bland.
Awesome song...never fades with time...just gets better!!! Why isn't music like this made anymore??? Timeless and gives me goosebumps!❤❤❤
Morals changed. Art became corporate and manufactured. Trends now mean more than consistency, and individuality is rare now. Everyone tries to copy the current fame. There is still art of all forms, but corporations want to take that away. Creativity means individuality
The directors deciding to play this song in end of Spider-Man was a really good choice.
Shout out to last chance you for reminding me of this gem
The Lincoln lawyer brought me here. But my poppa showed me the way! 💜
Totally
Just when you think you’re the only one lol
💯
Give me some clarity
The last song you hear before shit pops off poor milles his uncle is giving me training day vibes my nigga
This is the song played over the opening credits for “Beforeigners”, a show out of Norway. Small world indeed.
Mop moo
no shit sherlock.
and what the fuck do you mean small world?
That’s what brought me here. Love that show ‘Beforeigners’ and this song!
Right John
A small sequence in the new season of the Norwegian tv series Exit also features this song.
When THIS song makes TOTAL SENSE to you, then you'll know what being ALONE really means!💯💔😢
In 1978 I attended a Bobby Blue Bland concert in the state of Texas.In a city called Dibol Texas, I was 16 years old among people who loved blues.Bobby was a great one.
People dressed so formal back in the day i love it.
Doesn't matter what dimension it is, Uncle Aaron always has superb music taste.
This is a perfect song to capture my alternate nephew to
My mum did not go to school but she could sing Bobby ‘s songs! Rest In Peace mum.
I bet she was a wonderful mother. I hope you know how lucky you are.
Bobby was an amazing singer, that not a lot of people know...
He died in 2013, but i hope that people will try and find his music.
You are right! I'm glad i found his music...
She used to play this song as we would ride around the streets of Chicago when I was little singing her heart out 🖤P.B.U.H Rest in Peace Bobby Blue Bland and Mrs.Annie Ruth Stafford
Dear Lord, please bless my family with health and happiness. May we always find joy in each other's company and support one another through all of life's challenges. Protect us from harm and guide us with Your loving light.
That was beautiful
GOD bless
R.I.P. Bobby "Blue" Bland.
My Mother loved her Blues and Bobby! When she died I got all her music! Now I’m learning why she loved it so much!
🗣️Finally this new generation learning about classics 🤌
Straight up Shazamd this when it came out on Netflix and i been listening to bobby blue ever since
Miles Morales: Who are you
Miles Morales: I'm Miles Morales, but you can call me...The Prowler
How is spot and him connected doeee!!?!!?
@dani6707 the spider would've bit him in that universe
This should be the anthem for America right now!!
I totally agree!
Yeah....definitely now would be a good time
Ain't no love in the Heart of the City. This song is dedicated to all of my favorite singers who are gone. Music will never be the same again.
Uncle Aaron brought all of us here to enjoy an almost forgotten classic
Thank u uncle aaron
Here before everyone comes here because Across the Spider-Verse. Movie reignited my love for the song.
Same. I love it and hearing it again wooo
In 2022 it, doesn't get anymore soulful then this!!! Masterful and nostalgia 🔥🔥🔥
Been searching for this song just by 4 words for 17+ years... Today 3/1/22 I found it. Great song.
Dedicating this to my 16 yr old nephew. Rip sweetie. Chicago needs to pull it together 🙏🙏.
May his spirit rest in paradise, Queen. 🥺😔💯✊🏾🫂
My condolences to you and your family. Yeah it’s really messed up here with all the senseless violence.
My first time hearing this I randomly woke up on this night way back in 2010 at 4 AM with my radio tuned to a blues station and right as I woke up this started playing. I couldn't get over how great this song was, and never will. RIP Bobby Bland, you will certainly live again.
Mine back in the eaarly80s riding around with my pops he had a 78 Coup de Ville with an Ole school 8 track tape deck I was a lil puppy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Have you ever heard Whitesnake’s version from 1978?
Uncle Aaron has great taste in music
Im only 40 but the older i get, the more i appreciate this type of music
I’m only 21 and I agree
im onl y six and i agre
Im only 18 and i agree
To the truly brokenhearted, THIS song needs NO explanation!!💔💯💔
If you dislike this video you're either deaf or under 20 and trolling. This song makes you feel some type of way. Classic
agreed. completely.
Agree agree agree
Yes ! Agree
What are you talking about this song is ass. The only reason why anybody gives a fuck about this song is because Kanye West sampled it on a Jay-Z song
So a person simply doesn't like a song you think is good and your reaction is criticize her/him. Sorry to tell you that buddy, but that's not how taste works.
""Pass the whiskey please""Cause ain't no love in this city""RIP B/B
On A 1000
I heard this song in across the spider verse and I was like uncle Aron got amazing music taste and this song fits the universe miles came into #love spiderman across the spider verse #best spiderman movie in my opinion.
as a 27 year old asian guy living in asia,this hits hard.
This is the best song for the world that we are in now. Stay safe yall ✌
I agree. Should be a new video version for now.
Amen 🙏 to your family
YES, YES, YES, LORD.
TRUE~
Best song of the 70's, PERIOD.
THIS was the 50s and 60s BRO, Bob was old SKOOL 4real😐
@@bobbyjohnson8968, this is from the "Dreamer" album released in 1974. I believe one of the top 5 albums ever on so many levels, just my opinion, of course.
One of The very best, thats true
dont forget his BB King song Thrill is Gone. love that
Pretty subjective, no?
Massive Prowler W
When I lived in NYC I had the joy & privilege of seeing perform live in 2 different venues - one of a kind talent
Uncle Aaron has good taste.
The Black Man is always Humble Like a Box of Birds and when they spread there wings they Fly 👍
What?
@@ttny60 don't worry about it.. It flew over your head.. No pun intended lol
Do what..... I ain't seen a humble honest black man in years....
God hates a coward.
Beautiful!!
I am not an old school but, I will gonna have this song for the rest of my life.
🤗 from Ethiopia
This song is so beautiful, I had never heard of it before I began to watch a series called Beforeigners. It is really a masterpiece, I am from South America and English is not my native language but this song is truly amazing.
Me too, watching Beforeigners, looking up this song. Love it. Cheerio from Berlin. 😀
I discovered it in the serie Beforeigners too.
Beautiful song indeed, it touches the human soul.
This is a masterpiece of American Music's History
Me too. Wonderful music. Wonderful song. And wonderfully used in Beforeforeigners.
One good reason for you to listen to hip-hop. They sample lots of great music.
"Please... trust me, I know you don't want to be the Prowler..."
"I'm not."
"Your dad is still alive?"
"What?"
"Your father, you said he's still alive."
“Yeah…. w-who are you?”
That was one of the coldest plot twists in any Marvel movie 🥶
Type of song you listen to when tied up on a punching bag
Every single time I hear this Masterpiece, it's like the very first Time. How Nostalgic.
That's the song I listened to the day I heard of my fathers passing on repeat at midnight driving from Nova to Delaware for no reason. Now every time I hear it my heart breaks into pieces.... RIP papa
Ripe
What a song to pick for the DARK universe where there’s no Spider-Man.
"I'm Miles Morales. But you can call me the Prowler?"
He used to play in a club in the 80s in Memphis Tn Always the greatest
THIS HOW I FEEL WHEN I RIDE THRU THE OLD NEIGHBORHOOD & REMEMBER THE WAY IT USED TO LOOK...
