Old guy here. I totally remember this song, I was 7 or 8 yrs old, listening to Casey Kasem in my mom's car in the driveway. I learned how to turn on the AUX setting didn't drain the battery as much. Growing up then you had to be creative
Best of times that flew
By much too fast...but we cherish those special moments
Nick Lowe brought me here.
me too.
Suddenly I'm transported to the fall of 1979.....wow
One Amazing Classic From An Unbelievable Artist.
Thank You And God Bless Mr Nesmith For This And Many More Majestic Memories You Have Left Us All To Enjoy. ❤❤❤❤.
Teen movies from the late 90s early 2000s have the song in a chokehold 😂 what a time to be alive.
Just perfect. Still after all these years.
Good music has no expiration date.
That’s why 99% of the trash on contemporary radio today will be long forgotten when songs like this continue to be relevant 50 years from now.
What a song. Singalong tune if I ever heard one.
Never tire of that intro😅.
Pure and clever pop magic. Nick Lowe is the soundtrack of my life. I’ll take that.
I’m still searching for a bad song of his lol.
I want to see your what your life is like. How dark is that room? hahahha.
Takes me back to summer, 1980. Time flies. I miss those days and this great music.
°_° how old are you
Aww, i was 19 when this came out! Before marriage, kids , work, mortgages, bills, grandkids, death....wouldn't change my life for anything but i would love to go back for 1 week and just appreciate and enjoy it one more time
Yea, life was simpler.
I started the 80s with this song. Fun times and memories. Life was simpler then appears.
10 things I hate about you
The greatest pop song ever.
Tasty pop rock, hand crafted by Nick. It's so tight it squeaks. Great stuff.
When times were simple and music had soul.
Yes. When music had soul.

Two songs that represent the summers of 1979 and 1980. These two songs always take me back to those summers.
1979 - Nick Lowe " Cruel to be kind "
1980 - The Cars " Touch and Go"
I was 11 in 1979 and I've loved this song since. It remains high up in my Top 100 favorites of all-time to this day.
I can relate.
@@davechupp7922 ur generation very blessed with Pops.. Wish time travel exist or maybe invented some day in my life
I was in high school; I can relate. This is still one of my favorite songs from the 70s.
I used to crank this song up on my Sony AM=FM Cassette stereo while driving my 70 El Camino to work.18 years old and not a care in world!Miss those days............😎
I was 11 also. What a time for game rooms and good music!!!
The best pure pop song in history. Everything just works. Perfect tempo, excellent and clever lyrics. The bridge is awesome.
Well put. He is an underrated rock genius. 😊
@@ulla1623 Lol, name all of his "rock" hits... the guy was a one hit wonder, end of story. There are a million of them. His musicianship is average
Pure genius!
Now people, this is pure pop from the Jesus of Cool! Pure joy.
Man what a tune. He sounds like he could've fit right in with the Traveling Wilburys.
much better song than anything they ever did
Astute connection...British production technique, Jeff Lynn, E.L.O. "Mr Blue Sky"
too right
Totally! :D
He was part of another 'supergroup' of that type, namely Little Village , formed in 1991 with Ry Cooder, John Hiatt and Jim Keltner.
This beyond perfect
I was 16 and started to discover real music with all the punk, post punk, new wave, cold wave artists of the late 70's. Great memories
Was not expecting a coldwave comment on this song of all places... good taste though. ;)
renato patta .Same here.
@@49sr What is coldwave?
Late summer/fall ‘79 I was sure I’d discovered the best song ever. I still feel that way today.
Always play for my seniors after Act 3 of Hamlet. Love you Nick!
Perfect pop song
Such an Underrated gem this song is!
There are no word to properly describe this stuff! TEARS OF JOY!!!!!!!!
This song packs such an emotional hit in it. Every time I listen to it I get transported back 30 years.
The Magicians brought me here 🥰
This was the best music ever made.
Boy this song brings back memories of my youth back in Peru in the late seventies, goosebumps!
Yeah, a great song by any pop standards. Beatles are my FAVORITE but this song is up with the best of John and Paul. And I saw the BEATLES LIVE!
@@johnyuknalis177 I tend to agree with you and it was well written by Nick who's s been in the music biz for 50 years and never got the recognition he deserves .
i think i heard this in the 80's back in the U.S. virgin islands-st. thomas.
Likewise from my college years in Tennessee, 🇺🇸
Timeless masterpiece.
1978. Just came back to The States after living in Germany for seven years. Somehow, listening to it on my '76 Pinto's FM radio was different than on AFRTS while pedaling my Raleigh Sport ten-speed on 200 KM trips. More American.
Just a truly pristine pop song
This song is about the goddess of wisdom and how she wakes you up and then leaves and then boom! She’s back, then she leaves. Etc…. It’s exhilarating.
Rockpile!!
Rockpile is the shit
@@joellarson8906 Correct you are, sir!!
Best song ever here. Thank you for playing, the Beatles.
"I must be cruel only to be kind."
~Hamlet, Act III, Scene 4
I've randomly had this in my head all week 😂. It's really catchy and meaningful.
Divina melodía. Un clásico del pop.
Lol after all these years, I revisit the song and discover the total sarcasm in it.
What a song. Thanks Nick.
Sadly they don’t make great music like this anymore; quite frankly it prides me that I came from that generation when wonderful music was being made!

Love this song. Listen to it every day. This is what you call music.
One of my favorites!
NICK>>> SUPER!
Summer '79 and i was holidaying in Anglesey north wales and what a brilliant summer it was. This was played everywhere and what fantastic memories i have when i hear it. How i miss those days, carefree and simple.
Awesome! I was 11-12 at this time! Being an adult is overrated!!!! Lol
Is so good 👍 song 🎵 of the year 1978 to hear that in 2020 is still the best thing i love ❤️ that song 🎵 #SoGoodSong
Grown on me grown on me grown on me. 62 ❤️.
Still a great song.
This song has a Beatles and Beach Boys feel to it.
Ihave always loved this guy, his voice is utter joy , this classioc will never die lol i would like to dedicate this song to the world ,,,,THE C VIRUS WILL NOT WIN , WE ARE STRONG XXX
I’ve loved Nick’s music for about the last 40 years. Also loved his work with Dave Edmonds and Rockpile. ❤😊
Memorable, Lived and Loved
excellent harmony with tight rock instramental and a quirky twist to the lyrics!!!
Que recuerdos!!! What a memories!!! Beautiful!!! The guitar!!!
This is a great, great, pop song. You can speculate if , what kind of Rockpile record it could have been that year 1979. The Dave Edmund album was made at the same year, the same time. Rockpile is the band playing on the album.
This song is so deliciously fun! The kind of song you play at the beach on a great summers day, playing volleyball.
The acoustic guitar and harmonies are pure joy!
Pure magic!!!
Classic rock song! I still love 💕 it after all these years.
Classic
Baby… you gotta be cruel to be kind…❣️
Great song have that song on CD
i got it really wrong i was more cruel than kind but hopefully iv made up for it we are still together 40 yrs on
Well done for fixing things!!!
Brilliant ❤
Good tune
June 5th 2024 🥰😘❤️
My RUclips history brought me here June 2024.
Ditto for every year since the 70s.
❤
Heard on radio .. had to list from the start
Oh I can't take another heartache
Though you say you're my friend, I'm at my wit's end
You say your love is bonafide, but that don't coincide
With the things that you do
And when I ask you to be nice, you say
You've gotta be cruel to be kind, in the right measure
Cruel to be kind, it's a very good sign
Cruel to be kind, means that I love you baby
(You've gotta be cruel)
You gotta be cruel to be kind
Well I do my best to understand dear
But you still mystify and I wanna know why
I pick myself up off the ground
To have you knock me back down again and again
And when I ask you to explain, you say
You've gotta be cruel to be kind, in the right measure
Cruel to be kind, it's a very good sign
Cruel to be kind, means that I love you baby
(You've gotta be cruel)
You gotta be cruel to be kind
Well I do my best to understand dear
But you still mystify and I wanna know why
I pick myself up off the ground
To have you knock me back down again and again
And when I ask you to explain, you say
You've gotta be cruel to be kind, in the right measure
Cruel to be kind, it's a very good sign
Cruel to be kind, means that I love you baby
(You've gotta be cruel)
You gotta be cruel to be kind
My Dad’s playlist brought me here.
Great dad!!!!
Great stuff, real instruments, great singing, makes a clear point. All of these elements are exactly what we mean when we say MOST of the popular music of today sucks 😂
Did not know Ian Gomm co-wrote. His hit "Hold on to What You Got" was a great song too. Same time period. Check it out! Good music!!
*Babbbbyyyyyyyyyyyy*
This is master piece
Cool
- Thank you so much for posting this great song since You Tube has removed the original video and song!
Diaper Tommy it's back on RUclips posted again!!! How are danger boy and inflatable Johnny doing???
I know right! I couldn't find the topic version at all.
Perfect
Embarrassingly great.
53 y/o, always thought this was ELO/Jeff Lynne. Given the time period, it makes sense. Great underrated artist
def has Lynne chord choices and harmonies, but you can't mistake his voice.
Always loved this song, but never knew who sang it. Thank you! Love it so much.
Frick the haters ... absolutely perfect.
2:05 until 2:21 has been my life. And I still love it! Magic:)
Tip Top Nick!
I love you
I remember my brother playing this off of his car stereo back in 1979.
3rd rewatch of the magicians and I come here every time
I like the first video when it showed him marrying Colleen Carter. It was the first time I saw him playing this song and strumming a bass.
Carlene
Great song not many like it anymore
No there's not!!!
Make sure and look up Rockpile and other works with Dave Edmunds. It all rocks.
Thank you ❤
linda cancion m trae muchos recuerdos ....fm 95 the super station 👍😉
The Magicians brought me here
Same.
Me too hahahahaha, I love that scene
Same
For me it was Bobs Burgers. They have a parody of it for an end credit called "Regular Fries".
Such a stupid comments, bad as the children saying Guardians of the Galaxy brought me to Sweet
日本人でニック・ロウ好きが少ないのが残念。こんな素敵な音楽なのに。
そんなことないと思いますよ。自分も好きだしこの歌もいまだに聞けますので人気が無いことはないでしょう
love yaaaaaaaaaa
Epic!
We need to be Cruel again.
Amen!!!
Cruel and unkind are most songs today.
Pretizell 😂
@@pretizell9861 hahahaahahahha
gold hit
I like what I always thought the lyrics were better "You gotta be Cool to be Kind." As in keep cool.
Being a teen and vibin to this, i have no friends...
