- 1981. My brother Richard Bassil, (RIP) is on bass. This song was a top ten hit.
Atlanta Lady, off the same album, was also in the top twenty that year. Both songs written by Jesse Barish. - Komedie

The bass playing here really is rock solid. The pocket is CRAZY. Marty sounds excellent too. That guitar solo, on the other hand, is an unholy mess. Nothing about it works and it never should have been there. It's just noise. Great song that takes me back to my 8 year-old self.
I had to re-listen…I think it’s mixed too hot, but I kinda see your point..But it was a rock song post 70’s, so it was almost de riguer! When I played with these guys before my brother joined we opened for the Ramones in 77… we knew nothing about them except that we heard they “didn’t play any solos”! We thought we would destroy them because John here was such a good soloist! We were correct, in that regards, but the Ramones were a force of their own! 😜
Beautiful song beautiful voice rip Marty😢❤
Lyrics back then, the writers, were so deep and were able to touch on just what you felt. And the singers who brought the words to life and to our hearts, like Marty, will always be loved and remembered !!!

@@chriss11499 I wish I had more!
Heard this song when I was 11 or so. As a senior citizen now. I would've never thought back then this song would remain one of those memorable ones. Ty.
Summer of 1981. This song is so touching, so soulfully sung. It is a unique and very personal ballad of lament.
Marty Balen was an artist of depth of heart and soul, and it all comes out in this remarkable song.
Such an incredible and haunting voice Marty had. Wonderful song and arragment. Reminds me of my youth. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing this with the world! In tears now! God Bless your brother and Marty!
Same with the song " Miracles " . Wouldn't sound right without Marty's vocals. His voice lends a certain quality to both songs.
First time seeing the video of this song, 3/24/23 8:28am. ❤❤Hearts.
His gorgeous, gorgeous voice is remarkable. It tells the story of the lyric perfectly. He was a absolutely genuine soul singer. Rest in Peace Marty. Fly high and shine smiles down on us. You're missed.
Incredible that on every channel this song is uploaded, people from all over the world write in many different languages they love it since their young age. Indeed, music is the international language of hearts. Thank you for sharing this.
Close to 80k listens and not a single down vote. Yes, well said.❤❤
@@bassil1Impossible whit that beauty song ❤
This was my first favorite song.
It was out the spring / summer of 81. I turned 5 that August.
I'm blown away with how upon hearing this I'm 4 years old again..
I own the house I grew up in, so if I hear this when I'm there it hits harder.
Interesting that you had such a strong response at such a young age…you must have a strong emotional response to the world .❤🩹
Such beautiful song miss you
What a handsome man with a gorgeous voice
He had a haunting voice that encapsulated the memories of my youth so very well. His memory and his recordings are indeed a blessing.
RIP Marty! Crying now. Love ❤️ this ballad by you❤.
Beautiful lyrics. Eleven years old when I heard this. Lol
It is his song forever...so talented singer.
This song is so deep. You can feel the pain of heart break when Marty Baylin sang it. RIP.
Totally Excellent! God Bless His Soul!
Great voice. Very underrated. Marty, and Grace , were great together.
Great song!
one of the greatest songwriters of all time. Love his music. thanks
He didn’t write this one though…he did write many of his other hits however!
This broke me! Damn Marty, you are sorely missed. What a talent. Just brought tears to my eyes. Don’t make em like they used to. RIP, see ya on that side.
Beautiful song when time comes for a closing
This soulful, heart-stabbing, lyrical ballad makes my eyes leak each and every time I hear it. 💔💔
Wow👍🏻❤️❤️❤️. A timeless, and heartfelt classic 👍🏻❤️❤️❤️.
Marty Balin was one of the best singers that walked this planet.
Thank you for posting this rare video ❤️.
LOVE THIS SONG AND MARTY BALIN💚💚💚💚💚
Marty one of the best to ever do it! The band is incredibly tight,RIP Marty and Bass player Richard this is a wonderful thing to see/share, Thanks God Bless!
Hey! thank you for the very kind comment!
This guy was one of my favorite singers before I even knew his name.
I felt the SAME way. I would hear Jefferson Starship songs and I LOVED the guy's voice. Didn't know his name at the time, but the voice was UNFORGETTABLE. 🥰🥰❤️❤️
RIP to the GREAT MARTY BALIN.
😢por dios que nostalgia con esta cancion fenomenal
Love that guitar solo. Love the whole performance.❤😢
Buena rola,ya tenia como más de 30 años de no escucharla y ahora que la he encontrado,la tengo presente.
God, what a great singer. His phrasing, his dynamics, his heart and his masculinity on his sleeve when he sang. Only Lenny Welch could be called comparable.
I LOVE this sad song. Haunting, and beautifully romantic.
First time I heard "Hearts" I ran out and bought the cd. Still makes me cry whenever I hear it.
Marty Balin had an amazing voice and talent. Such a sad ending.
How is it sad?
Благо дарю за видео с песней "HEARTS"в исполнении вокалиста Марти Балина!👍🎵🎶😀
Вообщето впервые эту песню услышал и увидел видео в испонении певицы Сидни Ром, замечательное исполнение НО, прислушаться к смыслу слов, песня должна исполняться от мужского лица! Я стал искать кто же впервые исполнил эту песню?! Нашёл это великолепное исполнение Марти Балина!!!
This version with this band is the definitive version, the original. 👍
@@bassil1Sólo cambiaron la frase: ...lo mucho que te amo, por: ...lo mucho que te extraño. Las dos expresiones hermosas. ❤
What a special song, voice, talent, soul.
He is appreciated and loved and missed.
I have a Yacht Rock playlist with very carefully selected tracks. This song made the cut with flying colors.
I love Marty. Jefferson Starship is one of my favorite bands. The Marty Balin era of starship was the best. Makes my heart melt when I hear his voice. ❤️❤️🩹
When we lost Marty part of me went with him.
Are you Kathleen? jb
Disfrutando esta hermosísima canción en Mayo 2024 ❤ Se ve el sentimeinto con que canta esta canción Marty Balin. Y todos los músicos excelentes. Grandioso el bajista Richard 👍
Thank you for sharing. Rest in Peace Marty Balin and also your brother Richard.
Hi Jonathan. I am Anthony. I played with your brother and guitarist John DeCaro after that had left Marty's band. I am a drummer. I often wondered what happened to Rich and John. I am really sorry to hear that Rich passed.
I played with them for a few years and we had a band called Total Stranger. We start playing all around the Philly Tri State area. I have a few cassettes of recordings that i made from live shows and studios we went to record at. The band was really good. I used to love to hang with your brother cause he was funny. I remember him hauling around his big bass rig that was on wheels and a cover that had Balin written on it in Red. I just came across this video and wanted to let you know i had the pleasure of knowing your brother.
Hey Ant’nee…how cool. yes, i miss my bro so much. He was my pal too. Glad you got to know him and play with him. John is on fbook, and we communicate frequently…look him up! I never heard any of the tunes…wasn’t a girl in the band as well? Friend me on fbook! JB
@@bassil1 Your correct. The girl is Michele and i just played a show with her last week!
Thank you for getting back to me. I will look John up. If you chat with him before i do tell him i was asking for him.
@@antkneewolfdrummer Will do! He really liked that band, that I do know!
Miss you Marty..
Incredible decade of music.
The song that I felt so deeply after my first love and I broke up.
The Sound of Jefferson Starship. Amazing Singer
Got to see Starship with Marty..magic
Lovely song. Greetings from Chicago.
sweet score Love Marty Ballin never did get a chance to listen to the album CD might be available on line Marty Ballin Love Your Heart❤
We luv you MARTY !🐙
Ah I love this song as much as I love Marty such a great voice it brings me back memories of my first break up ❤️❤️🌹🎶🎼🎸
❤🩹.
Marty was one of the great crooners. He brought that skill into psychedelic music which made him very unique. RIP Marty
I ♥️ Marty
What a great song! Marty’s tenor is gorgeous! He and grace were unique in Jefferson starship.
This man was the best voice of Jefferson Starship/etc.... Yeah I know, Grace Slick and she had a great voice too., but Marty Balin = Best All Around Voice ever... Here in this video he goes flat sometimes at the end of a line, but it's live, and sometimes that happens...He was so young in this video !!!!
He did have a little bit of pitch issues to be sure. The band was aware of it!
@@bassil1- Yes ! Thank you so much for this video, Jonathan ! Brings back so many memories of those years... :)
@@frandanco6289 You’re welcome. My brother Richard is playing bass.❤
@@bassil1- Jonathan ! Wow ! I did not catch that ! Your brother played a great bass for this group!! Thanks again for all the work involved in getting this video out for us to see and enjoy again !!!
And when they are younger their voices are still developing. If you listen to Def Leppard and K. C. And the Sunshine band, their voices changes for the better as I am sure Marty Balin’s did as well. What a genuinely beautiful voice.
Great Song! I loved it from the first time I heard it.
LOVE THIS SONG, I CAN T STOP LISTENING TO IT .....
Rest In Peace my idol ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Rest in peace Marty✌️🕊❤
Good ol days of MUSIC SO many great bands before popular..👌🤗❤
INCREDIBLY GREAT SONG & SINGER!🙏😞🙏
Underrated song, this great song must have been #1 hit on 1981
It did make it into the Top Ten at #9!
@@bassil1 deserved #1, thank you for
sharing this amazing song
Great tune👍
Didn't care much for his solo stuff but loved his work with JA and JS. He was a fantastic singer and the backbone of some of their best tunes.
Hermosa cancion
😱 letras muy grandes para un mortal, cuando se ofrece todo parece que falta más, corazones tristes que lloran samgre cada noche, no existe un tal vez, en lo que te entregue, ilusiones jovenes por instantes en tu mirada cultive, un amor de ahora y de siempre
Not the greatest voice ever, but his songs always hit you right in the guts.
If I could have kissed him just once I would never have asked the gods for anything else.
Beautiful
i love the bass in this song! cheers!
My brother told me he played it like a heartbeat.. ❤❤
@@bassil1 Did he write the bass line? If so, i wonder why he doesn't get writing credit. Does he get residuals for when song is played? Of is it more like a contract job where they come in and play for a flat one time fee??
I just practiced this song last night : )
@@zxccxz164 Yes I suppose he did..it’s pretty simple. You will not get songwriter’s credit for it, however…just pay for the session.
AMAZING 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
the best hippy singer
Какая прекрасная запись! Что-то невероятно ностальгическое и притом очень оригинальное!!! Прекрасный голос! Прекрасное исполнение! Жемчужина👌❤️🇱🇻
I love this song. It's timeless. And this performance is excellent. Congratulations about your brother. He must have been a very accomplished musician to play on such professional level.
He was a good bassist, but in this situation it was also luck that he landed the gig. Actually, as it is in most situations!🙏
You're right. It needs luck too. I'm a musician. I 've experienced that. 🙂
@@billystar1306 As BTO said: “get in with the right bunch of fellas”! 🤪
@@bassil1 very true! 🙂🙃
That familar synth sound of the early 80s
The only “synths” are the electronic pianos.
Lindíssima ⚘ ❣ ⚘ ❣ ⚘ ❣
Este vídeo es una joya,el cantando en vivo,es una tristeza que tenga tan pocos comentarios,la letra de está canción me define en estos momentos de mi vida, gracias por subirla,saludos desde México
Es para corazones rotos..
This song touches every fiber of my being that I cannot describe! So profound so heartfelt😢
Think this song is the best and singing about true love!!!!!
