The story is that a girl has a one night stand with a male stranger she meets and ends up, later on, getting pregnant and having a child from him. Hence, when the man saw the woman again but she is carrying a child with her, he realized that the child is his while the girl tearfully explains that she did it because she is “in love with another man” who is unable to father any children from her. It’s purely a heartbreaking and messed-up story while the song and the music is great to hear. I am glad you’ve enjoyed the song.
Yes. It was his child. The man she is in love with couldn’t give her a child so she found someone who could. “I am the flower, you are the seed. We walked in the garden and planted a tree.” She did use him, like you said.
Agreed. Certainly a somewhat dangerous way to find someone to make you pregnant, what with STDs and such, but it's romanticized. Such things don't exist in stories. :)
@@rae7864 Well of course....I don't want to have kids! If any woman wants one....I'll help them make one....but I sure as hell won't help raise one or support one. I don't want to have any kids!
It has more to do with the video, actually. Notice we hardly get to see her. It was cuz of her weight issues. The music industry put her thru absolute hell, cuz they thought she was too fat! I could care less, what size she was, she is one BEAUTIFUL, TALENTED LADY! 🥰
She (Ann) said she didn't like it because the guy was used and had no say so about the child. If she had known how popular it would be, she wouldn't have recorded it, because then she had to sing it in concerts all the time. Not quoting the interview, but that is pretty much the summery of it.
In an interview I saw, Ann Wilson said that she never really liked this song because she didn't like the story it tells. I thought that was an interesting tidbit. Despite the fact that she didn't care for the song, she sure sang the hell out of it!
This one has an intense story to it. And yes, when she said “he saw his own eyes”, that was his baby. Ann Wilson is a tremendous female vocalist. If you notice in this video they barely show Ann Wilson, and when they do it’s just from the shoulders up. The record label had a huge issue with the fact that Ann had gained quite a bit of weight and felt it impacted their marketability. So they used filters to make her look thinner and barely showed her. Heart said after this album they would never again do music videos. It was a huge problem between them and the record label.
I'm not bothered with her weight at all. She gorgeous. However seeing her live row 2 in the 80's it was a bit of a shock. I guess for the reasons you stated.
The weight issue goes back as far as at least the mid-'80s when they had their commercial renaissance. You can see the camera angles, costuming and lighting dancing around her weight gain, and as you mentioned, she was barely shown in videos, instead putting the focus on the skinnier Nancy. It was extremely unfair treatment.
@@robdaviesprogm yea it was pure bs shes a beautiful women, no matter what she weighed. Her weight has nothing to do with her vocals. Which were and are incredible.
Critics were horrible to her. They'd tour and the crowds would give Ann standing ovations. But all the critics would write about was her weight. Ann said it drove her to have stage fright. She was getting to hate singer in front of other people. Ann's great strength has always been singing live. She started hating it. It was sad what the critics did to her. She always had the voice. Thin or heavy. She always she her 'Heart' out:)
I love that you are blown away by....Heart lol... and your facial expressions changing as that story progressed HAHA.. watching you watch this video was honestly the most entertaining few minutes I've had in a while
I was waiting for your reaction once you heard the rest of the song. Crazy!! But excellent song. Yes it was his child. Her man couldn't give her one. Great song!! Again, your reactions are great!!!
This song was actually written for Don Henley of The Eagles. Ann Wilson says that she absolutely hates this song. She said it made the woman of the story sound like a creeper. It’s a great song anyway.
Love the Wilson sisters. Got to see Ann perform in Corpus Christi (Nancy was pregnant & not with them). Awesome in concert. Little Zeppelin. Even though I'm an 80's child & grew up listening mostly to their work at that time along with Barracuda blasting out occasionally, their earlier work is great, too. Steamboat Annie, Dog & a Butterfly, etc.
It's pretty explicitly stated that this was his child at the end. "You can imagine his surprise, when he saw his own eyes. I said: 'Please, please understand, I'm in love with another man / And what he couldn't give me, is the one little thing that you can ...' " :D
I was waiting to see the look on your face when you found out the whole story. LOL. It's always interesting to see people's reactions. I Love this song. I know a lot of people hate the concept of the video but I still think it's a great song. Ann's voice is Superb!!
This is probably my favourite by Heart and what a voice she had! Powerful and sexy...she held my attention when i was a teenager in the 80s and still does!. All woman!
If any one of you say you have never had a one night stand YOU LIE!!!!!! i married my one night stand 43 years and still going strong. love you baby. i love this song. yes it was his baby.
The 80s Heart had more of a pop/rock sound made for top 40 radio and I absolutely loved it too! Try Never,These Dreams, Nothin' At All, Who Will You Run To, and What About Love..I bet you will love every single one of these songs!😊 Keep On Rockin'
So gawdamned thrilled you reacted to this song AND video (though blurred) later in your reaction career, rather than earlier. Your last year or so have transformed you from a mere reactionist to quite literally embracing the music, learning the cultural icons (sorry, I hate modern music; so much of it sounds the same, so I'm perhaps a hypocrite from that comment?) but we get genuine facial "tells" from you when you dissect a song. Sometimes the face and eyes convey what isn't said, and you do well in that area like an old black and white Hollywood silver screen player.
Back when cds first came out and they were way more money than a tape or record you had to really love an album to buy it in cd version. My very first one was Heart still have it to this very day lol!
I haven't been on here in a while but i love HEART always have this is the music i listen to i was a teenager jamming to thus i really loved your reaction to this song its a total turn around from the norm and you may not know this but Heart well Ann hated this song but big Corp was pulling the strings at this time so Thay recorded it im so glad that thay did and the vrighters of this song where 2 men Mut Lang who was a big time producer of groups like Deff Leppard and others and i forgot the name of the other man who wrote this song with him don't know what Thay where thinking at the time.
I remember when this video came out and then when it came to the last course of the song you couldn't help but go "oh snap!!" And of course sing along with it at the top of your lungs when nobody else is around LOL If you haven't had a chance yet you absolutely have to check out Crazy on You the live version and Barracuda
Yea, what she was saying at the is her husband couldn't give her a child but that guy could. That's why earlier in the song she says "I find this hotel, it was a place I knew well" she was going there with guys to try and get pregnant.
Mutt Lange wrote this song. He produced AC/DC, Shania Twain and a bunch of huge artists. Hearts hit songs were written by other song writers in the 1980s because Ann and Nancy couldn't come up with songs after the 70s, but Ann can sing anything like she wrote it.
There's also NOBODY HOME - only an LP track (featured on the 1985 album, HEART), but very underrated... Obviously, the big hits, such as, 'These Dreams', 'What About Love' and 'Never', get all the attention, but I think it's fair to say, 'Nobody Home', is pretty much a hidden gem (at least, from the many 'casual fans', who don't own the album). In short, it's mellow and melodic, and (of course), Ann Wilson sounds great singing it.
I love your interpretation.! I have to admit that I’ve done this more than once but it wasn’t with a hitchhiker in the rain lol I always said I would never get married and never had kids and when I turned 34 I met somebody that I realize we could not live without and we got married add a little English pub in the dart room and FaceTime to my parents. And three days before that we went to the courthouse on my lunch break to sign the papers. It’s a hilarious story my husband has reached out to you about being on the podcast but we both agreed no kids we have eight nephews and two nieces and very happy almost 40 year olds that has two dogs no kids and coming up on eight years together sending love to you and yours from Orlando Florida and guess the point of this comment was both of us were always very upfront about our one night stands and he was fascinated that women do this also. But regarding this video it’s one night stands are typically not to get pregnant lol
He saw his own eyes is telling you the baby he saw was his! Ann Wilson of Heart hates this song, but she sings it still in her 70's because Heart fans like it.
🙂 Enoyed your reaction. This song was a huge hit, in 1990. Fairly controversial, too. Heart rarely performs this song anymore. On the rare occasions they do, it usually an all acoustic version.
The story is that a girl has a one night stand with a male stranger she meets and ends up, later on, getting pregnant and having a child from him. Hence, when the man saw the woman again but she is carrying a child with her, he realized that the child is his while the girl tearfully explains that she did it because she is “in love with another man” who is unable to father any children from her. It’s purely a heartbreaking and messed-up story while the song and the music is great to hear. I am glad you’ve enjoyed the song.
Always loved the line 'he brought the woman in me, so many times, easily' not sure I knew what it meant at the time lol
They are incredible. Listen to "Alone" holy crap what a song!!!
Heart are the Power Ballad queens
I think he did Alone long, long ago.
That song is killer👌👌👌
Greatest song ever recorded in my eyes haha
Yes. It was his child. The man she is in love with couldn’t give her a child so she found someone who could. “I am the flower, you are the seed. We walked in the garden and planted a tree.” She did use him, like you said.
You can imagine his surprise.
When he saw his own eyes.
Yeah, he saw his own child that he didn't know he had.
Agreed. Certainly a somewhat dangerous way to find someone to make you pregnant, what with STDs and such, but it's romanticized. Such things don't exist in stories. :)
I wouldn't mind being used like that....just don't come back 9 months later and hit me with child support!
@@mariolopez3728 yes, typical man. The only thing you care about is having to pay child support, not the child itself. -.-
@@rae7864 Well of course....I don't want to have kids! If any woman wants one....I'll help them make one....but I sure as hell won't help raise one or support one. I don't want to have any kids!
Her voice alone..she is the best rock vocalist of all-time. No one comes close to Ms. Ann Wilson.
Honestly, Heart could do no wrong back in the day. Super happy to see you back ❤️
I don't understand why Ann Wilson doesn't like this song! Smart lyrics and great singing! I get chills even after many listenings!
I guess she doesn't like the character that she's singing as.
It has more to do with the video, actually. Notice we hardly get to see her. It was cuz of her weight issues. The music industry put her thru absolute hell, cuz they thought she was too fat! I could care less, what size she was, she is one BEAUTIFUL, TALENTED LADY! 🥰

In an interview I saw, Ann Wilson said that she never really liked this song because she didn't like the story it tells. I thought that was an interesting tidbit. Despite the fact that she didn't care for the song, she sure sang the hell out of it!
She actually changed the lyrics to sing it in the end
@@d-train5527 That sounds like a potentially-interesting story. Do you have any more info about the changes she made? Thanks.
If you type in ann wilson all i wanna do interview it should come up for you
One of many favorites 80's songs. The storyline, the acting,and of course the band and singing‼️👍🏽👍🏽
mine also
1990 technically, but yeah. It was a special year for me (when I lost my virginity) so this song and video made an impact on me.
This one has an intense story to it. And yes, when she said “he saw his own eyes”, that was his baby. Ann Wilson is a tremendous female vocalist.

@@robdaviesprogm yea it was pure bs shes a beautiful women, no matter what she weighed. Her weight has nothing to do with her vocals. Which were and are incredible.
If I remember right, I believe I heard that the label actually wanted to “photoshop”. Ann’s face on to Nancy’s body. Disgusting.
Critics were horrible to her. They'd tour and the crowds would give Ann standing ovations. But all the critics would write about was her weight. Ann said it drove her to have stage fright. She was getting to hate singer in front of other people. Ann's great strength has always been singing live. She started hating it. It was sad what the critics did to her. She always had the voice.

One of my favorite Heart songs - Such a classic!
What a voice! I love this song.
😂 this song always gets the best reactions,
The look on your face is priceless as it becomes apparent that she has his child. Made me blow coca cola out my nose. 😂
I have loved this song since grade school 😂 “don’t try and find me. Please don’t you dare. Just live in my memory you’ll always be there”❤️❤️❤️
❤❤❤ I love this band and this song!
Your face! Priceless! That look of, "Um,I take back anything I said". Sooo funny.
I was waiting for your reaction once you heard the rest of the song. Crazy!! But excellent song. Yes it was his child. Her man couldn't give her one. Great song!! Again, your reactions are great!!!
At least she was truthful about her feelings!! I love just about anything by Heart, Ann & Nancy are the best! Thanks JV ✌💌👍
My favorite female group ❤️
Best girl singer of all time I’m 60 heard it all she is the best of all time
They are incredible in concert!
Jay's facial expressions are priceless 🤣
This song was actually written for Don Henley of The Eagles. Ann Wilson says that she absolutely hates this song. She said it made the woman of the story sound like a creeper. It’s a great song anyway.
Love the Wilson sisters. Got to see Ann perform in Corpus Christi (Nancy was pregnant & not with them). Awesome in concert. Little Zeppelin.

One of my all time favourite songs 🎵
It's pretty explicitly stated that this was his child at the end.
"You can imagine his surprise, when he saw his own eyes.
I said: 'Please, please understand, I'm in love with another man / And what he couldn't give me, is the one little thing that you can ...' " :D
Heart, brilliant. Ann Wilson, hard to believe she is now 71, where has the time gone.
I saw them live in 1986. 5th row center seats. They’re as fabulous in person.
If you ever want to hear Nancy sing lead listen to These Dreams. Great song!!
YES !!! .. Brilliant song, and Nancy nails it totally .. First Heart song to hit No.1 in the US ( "Alone" was their second .. Another great song )
OMG, your facial expression is priceless.
I was waiting to see the look on your face when you found out the whole story. LOL. It's always interesting to see people's reactions. I Love this song. I know a lot of people hate the concept of the video but I still think it's a great song. Ann's voice is Superb!!
This is the first Heart song I heard. Made me a big fan and it’s still one of my favorites.
I was in my 20's then & ADORED Heart!! This particular song is superb too!! xx
This is probably my favourite by Heart and what a voice she had!
Powerful and sexy...she held my attention when i was a teenager in the 80s and still does!.
All woman!
I knew your facial expression would be priceless. 🤣🤣🤣 Your instant assumption was correct as many here have explained. You’re a hoot son. 🤣🤣🤣
BTW... Best one-night-stand song ever! :)
80s music was always a story to it.
One of my favorite bands since the 70's
If any one of you say you have never had a one night stand YOU LIE!!!!!! i married my one night stand 43 years and still going strong. love you baby. i love this song. yes it was his baby.
The 80s Heart had more of a pop/rock sound made for top 40 radio and I absolutely loved it too! Try Never,These Dreams, Nothin' At All, Who Will You Run To, and What About Love..I bet you will love every single one of these songs!😊 Keep On Rockin'
Mistral Wind is one of their best songs! From the 1978 album Dog & Butterfly. Truly worth the listen

Her voice is so rich and strong. Good song!
The look on your face was priceless 🤣❤
The lyrics that were spun to tell this story is amazing
Missed you! Welcome back ❤️
BEST REACTION EVER!!!
WOW pretty much covers it!!!! Total banger!!!🤘🤘🤘🎶🎼🎵🎧🎹🎙🥁🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Absolutely love Heart ..
Both ladies chefs kiss 💋 😘
Listen to Heart: What about love
My Favorite song from Heart
Heart never let's you down.
I haven't been on here in a while but i love HEART always have this is the music i listen to i was a teenager jamming to thus i really loved your reaction to this song its a total turn around from the norm and you may not know this but Heart well Ann hated this song but big Corp was pulling the strings at this time so Thay recorded it im so glad that thay did and the vrighters of this song where 2 men Mut Lang who was a big time producer of groups like Deff Leppard and others and i forgot the name of the other man who wrote this song with him don't know what Thay where thinking at the time.
‘These dreams’ from Heart
I really like this Rock Brand Heart is🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great song!
Your face 😂😂😂😂😂 loved this reaction so so so much hahaha
Yes, that was his son at the end. This is one of my favorite songs from high school. Of course, my other favorite song by Heart is Barracuda.
This time frame Ann was at her vocal peak. In her lane so to speak Ann was very special singer.
Makes me wanna walk along a road in the rain!
I remember when this video came out and then when it came to the last course of the song you couldn't help but go "oh snap!!" And of course sing along with it at the top of your lungs when nobody else is around LOL
If you haven't had a chance yet you absolutely have to check out Crazy on You the live version and Barracuda
Heart, the flagship of female rock music at the 80s
One of my favorite tracks from the early nineties!
Yea, what she was saying at the is her husband couldn't give her a child but that guy could. That's why earlier in the song she says "I find this hotel, it was a place I knew well" she was going there with guys to try and get pregnant.
Classic. Amazing voice👌

Surprise on your face when they meet up again Jovaughn, priceless! 🤣
I’m here for this .. can’t wait to see what your verdict is 😐😘 x
There's also NOBODY HOME - only an LP track (featured on the 1985 album, HEART), but very underrated...

In short, it's mellow and melodic, and (of course), Ann Wilson sounds great singing it.
Your reactions when you connect with a song really make me smile!!
6:34 the surprise emoji was modeled after this! LOL
Lord I haven't heard this song in decades!! Yes i am that old!! lol
The song mentions what happened.."we walked in the garden, we planted a tree."
The most popular song of the Me Too community
*Yep.. that just happened LOL*
"He brought the woman in me, so many times easily”
Shivers!
I haven't heard this song since ....
Then. Nice to hear it again. A great reaction as always.
One of the best for me growing up in the eighties, fabulous track
I love your interpretation.! I have to admit that I’ve done this more than once but it wasn’t with a hitchhiker in the rain lol I always said I would never get married and never had kids and when I turned 34 I met somebody that I realize we could not live without and we got married add a little English pub in the dart room and FaceTime to my parents.

Mutt Lange wrote and produced the song, he also co-wrote and produced all the big hits by Def Leppard and Shania Twain (his wife at the time)
Haha. Saw u speechless 🥰🎧

My favorite song by ❤️❤️. Thanks sweetie💕💕. Jay my whole body has chills 🍻🍻
Love Heart, Have you heard Barracuda? Their first signature hit ,

He saw his own eyes is telling you the baby he saw was his! Ann Wilson of Heart hates this song, but she sings it still in her 70's because Heart fans like it.
