Impossible for me to hear this masterpiece and not cry my eyes out with how incredibly beautiful and melancholic it is. Definitely one of the greatest songs of all times!
One of the greatest songs of all time for me. "Everything Is Coming Up Roses" was another big hit by Black and also very good.
Good suggestion awesome song!
I think Everything Is Coming Up Roses is a much much better song than It's A Wonderful Life. Everyone remembers this one though.
@@javiervagabond9524 Love how you say- Everything Coming Up Roses is not just better but much much better then It's a wonderful life making it sound as it that song is shit!
Not everyone just remembers-Wonderful Life or the ther one wouldn't of been a hit-also ECUR was only onUK radio the other day-where you from exactly??
Also the hit album it came off of sold millions so obviously millions of people would know the whole album! lol
Roses is good.
Paradise is my favorite
Colin was such an underrated artist. RIP, and thanks for the musical gifts.
Yes he was, soundtrack of my youth and his stuff is still on nearly all of my playlists. His voice is second only to Mark Hollis for me.
Don't tell me he's died
Soooo true 👍
@@markpalmer8083 Yes 2016 car accident in Ireland only 53 great hit from the 80s
This was one of those songs that were the soundtrack to the 1980’s. Absolute perfection!
I'm transported back to my youth when I hear the opening notes of this song.....it will tug at my heart till the day I die
RIP Colin. You will be remembered throughout the ages for this masterpiece.
One of my 80s favourite songs, very beautiful and nostalgic, reminding me of my youth in the 80s, how fast time goes.
Very sadly, far too fast.
Correct. There's quite an irony in the lyrics as he sings "look at me standing, here on my own again" "its a wonderful, wonderful life" when these lines are actually sarcasm. Whilst writing the song he was going through a tough time as a musician, he was broke, failing marriage etc, hence the sarcastic lyrics. Great reaction to the song 👍. Please, please react to The Riddle by Nik Kershaw.
OMG I can't believe you are doing this. I had this album and played it to death.
Colin, you were wonderful.
Sadly, sadly missed :(
Were?
@@markpalmer8083 Sorry, how do you mean? He died, tragically, a few years back in 2016 aged 53 following a fatal car crash. Deeply missed.
Colin had such a smooth voice and was taken from us far far too soon … I love his voice and he’s just amazing !!!
Hi Dereck! Thanks for your react on Black. This song "Wonderful Life" is taken from the eponymous album released in 1987 (song recorded in 1986) and ranked in the TOP 50 in 1988 no.2 for 5 weeks. It was a HUGE SUCCESS/HIT in France (gold disc: + 500'000 copies sold) even in Europe where it was well ranked in the charts in the TOP 10 except in Australia no.23.
It"s one of the best international "one hit wonders" of this decade. The proof it has remained forever anchored in the collective memory. The song is very often played on the radio and the music video very often broadcast on TV channels in France.
Some other songs will follow in the 80's or 90's but will go unnoticed Some other songs will follow in the 80's or 90's but will go unnoticed like "Sweetest Smile" and Feel Like Change" except in South Africa.
Four albums will have been published between the 80's and 90's and a total of 7 until 2015.
Unfortunately, British singer Black, aka Colin Vearncombe, died on January 26, 2016 in Ireland following a road accident he had on January 12. He was 53 years old.
Thanks for your amazing work our American pal. 👍🇫🇷
the bit where he says " i need a friend, oh I need a friend" hits home after covid isolation. Simultaneously optimistic and melancholic. Its timeless.
RIP Colin Vearncombe, one of the many great artists harvested by year 2016... Thanks for reacting to this, Dereck; though I'd have liked to hear your opinion about the music video, that imo perfectly goes along with the song.
This song reminds me to the early 90's, Turkish tv; they play this song between the commercial and when the main programs starts again.
An incredible track that takes me back years.
A timeless music...
When I discovered Black in the 80s, I felt like I stumbled upon a great secret! Loved his voice. R.I.P.
Derek, great to see your reaction, you bring good memories and joy from my 80s. Colin’s music is eternal like his memory is! Thank you and keep discovering more treasures.
une de mes chansons préférées, ça me bouleverse toujours cette musique, cette voix, ces paroles. hélas le chanteur est parti trop tôt...
Cat women ?
une bien jolie chanson en effet...
Colin Veanrcombe décédé à 53 ans chez lui en Irlande en 2016 dans un accident de la route.
As most of them very sadly do
A great 80's song 👍
RIP dear Black, dead to soon. 😢
As we all are.
Certainly one of the best songs of the 1980’s and god bless you Colin for your contribution to modern music and RIP my friend your legacy has already been written for eternity.
Hello Dereck,this song by Black is absolutely one of my favorite songs.It's at the top for me.Thank you for your soulful reaction!💝😄🐬
Hello by the way,my Nephew once said to me"Whenever i hear Bllack's Wonderful life,i think of you Aunt Hilde."So sweet of him!That's what i thought of when i watched the video for 5th or 6th time!Have a good Day today!
Just one of these gems of a song that comes your way from time to time
Probably my favourite song of all time. Loved it from the first time I heard it in the 80's. Still have all of his CD's.
I love your face at the intro music...but when he starts singing...I melt and I love that you did too. Listen to Sweetest Smile....no words
Yessss, love that song!!!
One of the all-time great pop songs.
one of my fav songs from the 80s, just beautiful song , beautiful voice thanks
The harder the circumstances, the more beautiful the music
Black - Everything Is Coming Up Roses
the whole lp was great.....
The first song in my life that I needed to listen to over and over again. Souvenirs souvenirs !
After all these years I always get a little bit teary-eyed when I listen to this masterpiece. But his song "Everything´s coming up roses" is also one of my favourite 80´s songs, I think it´s up your alley ...
Love it! Sweetest smile is awesome my favorite from him RIP ❤️
A fantastic song. So sad he died in a car crash some years ago.
This made my day! One of my absolute favorite songs ever. Thank You for a great reaction! He wrote a lot of really good songs, like Sweetest Smile, I Can Laugh About It Now and many more.
Sweetest Smile melts me every time...always will
This song reminds me so much of my youth years.
Quel plaisir d'écouter cette chanson , RIP 😇
Fantastic song! And even a more amazing video!
At last, I've been looking for this amazing song on reaction videos for ages but no luck. I've even requested it many times. This song is timeless. So pleased you liked it too Dereck.
When I was young in English class, I discovered and sang this song. Thank you teacher ;)
I love this song, Talk Talk Its my Life another good one too.
wow.....what a beautiful song 😮👍 another fantastic musician gone too soon..i loved his voice
Beautiful song ! Maybe you can listen to "Sweetest smile" from him next time, I'm sure you'll love it.
One of my favorite songs 🔥
number 1 in France during several weeks or month (i forget) 70's and 80's the bests years for songs
Such a long time I didn't listen to this very good song.
À wonderful song for a good feeling
Wonderful song recorded in 1987.
Colin Vearncombe est décédé à l'âge de 53 ans , à la suite d'un accident de voiture. Les meilleurs partent toujours les premiers ! Il doit faire des duos avec Johnny , au Paradis des musiciens.
I propose the slow , " Sweetest smile ", recorded in 1987 too.
.
one of the best song ever
My favorite song ever
Will be played at my funerals 🤗
Beautiful song. Did not know who it was by. Love it.
You need to react to their other top 10 hit, The Sweetest Smile
Such a fab song! RIP Colin
Yeah. J’adore Black. Merci Dereck.
🏆🙏🏽
Although a melo song it was a summer hit in France. 1987. Black, Louis Armstrong, Terence Trent d'arby, Sting, Bob mcferrin... were hitting the charts alongside this song. A little throwback down the memory lane for me. Thank you derrick@.
It's The Creamy Whirls, backing singers. The album is immaculate. So glad you loved it. How can you not?
"The song" of the 80's. ♥♥
I have seen this clip a thousand times back then, hehe. Watch "Twist In My Sobriety" by Tanita Tikaram, it was as big hit as this one, and a great song too, one of my favorite from this era.
Great childhood memory for me. Thank you Dereck 🙏
RIP. A singing wonder. One of a kind.
Magnifique chanson... Dans la même période il y a eu Words de The Christians une chanson magnifique également.
A really great song. 👌🏻👌🏻
It does have a very thoughtful and polished production to it. Great song. I don't know if I was influenced by the video, but even though the song could be called slightly melancholy, it always gave me a kind of summertime chill vibe.
Une merveilleuse chanson que j'écoutais en boucle ! A wonderful song that i listened to on repeat !
used to have that album back in the day. so many good tracks. this song in particular is a masterpiece of melancholy that only the 80s could provide. RIP Colin. 🌹
yep one of the big signature 80's songs, and one of the silent ones... one of the few delicate ones... huge success throughout Europe... for whatever reason Tanita Tikaram's Twist In My Sobriety comes up in my mind as an 80's classic with an similiar maybe not vibe but approach on arrangement and mood.
Late 80s absolute classic hit. he has another hit mid 80s "Coming up roses". React to Tanita Tikaram's "Twist in my sobriety" - another late 80s classic hit. Similarily iconic sepia video clip.
R.I.P Black😭😭😭😥
J'adore TELLEMENT cette chanson !!!
Wonderful song! what else ? nothing else to declare 👍👍😊😊
We don’t have time machines to travel back in time…we have music.
The only song I know from Black but I love it.
His voice omg
Tu me fais super rire.j adore ton personnage et ton concept.tu fais honneur à la france avec souvent nos artistes.merci beaucoup d utilisé les titres des meilleurs années.continu tu es une très bonne personne
Quelle beau classique !
Canción fantástica !
This was my choice, I knew it would be a blast to listen to :D
Sadly this wonderful singer passed away on 26th of January 2016 after he was involved in a traffic accident :`(
Watched the video being filmed in Liverpool, beautiful melodic song .Rip Colin Vearncombe, willnever be forgotten 😢
Amazing song
Video filmed on the beach of my hometown! Such a beautifully evocative song
Wonderful song
Colin Vearncombe born in Liverpool, England (26 May 1962) - passed away in Cork, Ireland. (26 January 2016)
Thankyou. Probably one of my favourite songs of my life.
Wonderful this song is, even his albums that released later are magnificent. You should listen to don't take the silence too hard it brought so much fun in this difficult times with covid and all the other stuff what's going on in the world.
Greetings
Check out "Listen" and "this is Life" from his 4th album,pure pure class
Love this song, but I love “Sweetest Smile” even more. 😊
This song is fantastic.
Beautiful song
Ohlala ces souvenirs...
Less popular, but equally gorgeous, is “This is Life.” I find Black’s music to be hit and miss, but when it’s a hit, it’s perfection. “This is Life”, “The Sweetest Smile” and “Too Many Times” are all excellent.
Perfect song ❤
Oh this album was my life for a while ...
So NoDoubt, you did sang "It’s my life" in place of Bon Jovi 😉
RIP Colin Vearnecombe. He died as a result of a car accident. He had a nice voice and I love this song. He was taken from us way too soon.
La chanson de la pub Fleury-Michon dans les années 80 nan (je me rappelle plus trop) ?!? J'adore ❤️, de bons souvenirs 😁
I remember recommending this a long while back. It's great and the video so cool too. The singer, Colin Vearncombe (Black) sadly died after a car accident a few years back. 'Red Light Spells Danger' by Billy Ocean is another to be checked out. Hot Chocolate's 'Every 1's A Winner' with it's great guitar riff and heavy bass is another.
I love 1986
It's a special song, no question.
Funny thing: one time I saw a comment under the video for this song on YT and the person had typed or pasted the lyrics, but they included the phrase "Here I go, out to see again" instead of "out to sea again". Made me laugh. I drew attention to the boo-boo, LOL.
Honestly, on the web quite a few people have posted this incorrect phrase as the first line of the song. I don't get it because it makes no sense at all. ((scratches head)) "Out to sea" is a real thing, meaning a vessel is heading away from land--- and is possibly a metaphor for a person mentally moving away from things to take a more objective look at one's life or life in general.
I enjoy how the song starts out synthy and then a moment later there's this almost tropical vibe to the music in the bass and percussion.
great voice
I was immensely saddened by news of his death. The song and the video are truly sumptuous and I think can help to heal the soul. His voice and presence are amazing. The video and how he sings it has a calmness to it. Beautiful and timeless. I heard it a lot when I lived in France at the time of its release there.
About time somebody reacted to this masterpiece. ‘Everything is coming up roses’ and ‘The Big One’ next please. We need more reactions to music like this. Johnny hates Jazz- ‘Shattered Dreams’; Bruce Hornsby and the Range- ‘Mandolin Rain’ and ‘That’s just the way it is’; The Style Council- ‘You’re the best thing’
Epic! So much emotion! Shall i cry or smyle? ❤
I didn’t know the singer Colin Vearncombe had died and only 53 years old, very sad 😔
It was that year where David Bowie and George Michael died along with lots of famous people...prince too. He would have got a small mention compared to everyone else.
@@tracyconnor6166 It was one of the saddest years, not only for music lovers. Not only Bowie, George Michael, Prince and Colin died, but also Leonard Cohen, Glenn Frey (Eagles), Rick Parfitt (Status Quo), Greg Lake (ELP) and George Martin, producer of the Beatles. Plus beloved actors Alan Rickman, Carrie Fisher and Gene Wilder. And as if that wasn't enough already 2016 also took the great one, Muhammad Ali, from us. Terrible year with unbelievable losses.
Brilliant band
I am so surprised by the number of 80's songs you have never heard... They were huge hits world wide and apparently you missed them...
I remember that song very well
