    This song defined my childhood. I distinctly remember waking up to this song after having eye surgery, this song playing on the radio. I had no idea whether I would be able to see at all, but this song playing in the background, comforted me, its light, memorable guitar line echoing through the post-operation room. As much as I tried to open my eyes, they remained shut, as if stitched shut. At only 8 years old, and unsure of whether I would see again, I clutched onto my mother's hand, trembling in fear. My mom reassured me that the operation was a success, and that I would see with time. As this song played on, I felt her move her hands to the throbbing beat of this song, and I once more willed open my eyes, a shadowy figure of my mom emerging from my small slit of vision. As this song ended, I felt a tear land on her hand -- and then Credence Clearwater Revival began to play.

    When I was pregnant with my son 20 years ago, every time this would come on the radio or I would play it, he would start dancing in my belly. After he was born it continued. Car seat dancing. Hanging onto the sofa dancing. Grabbing mom to dance. And of course as soon as he started talking he was singing it. Today it’s part of his play list along with some of the other best of the time. ❤

      @crownedone8837 2 года назад +29

      It's because the synthesizer was so prevalent in the 80's. Furthermore, use of the synthesizer implies that the atmosphere is quiet, and who doesn't like peace and quiet? In a room full of noise one might still be able to hear a guitar being plucked in the corner but a synthesizer would be lost in the din. So when our mind hears a synthesizer it is happy because that means the atmosphere must be quiet enough for our ears to hear it.

      80s music has all those bouncy tunes, even with a somewhat dark tone in the lyrics, while in the 90s it was all angst. Now that I said that, Jackie DeShannon recorded this in 1974 as more of an R&B take.

      I think part of the magic is that music was defined by talent more than appearence. Now you just need to have a "look" and auto-tune will handle the rest. When you open up the field to even the "ugly" people, you are exposing yourself to a wider range of talent and potentially great music. When your looks are what matters most, the field narrows drastically.

    I am 75 and remember growing up watching Bette Davis reruns. The song goes a long way in capturing Bette Davis. But Kim Carnes has by far done a superlative performance of this song. I remember Kim's rendition of this song in the early 1980's

Heard some melody that bled through my headphones that instantly reminded me of this song. Took some help online to remember the song. Earliest memories of being alive just come flooding back. What a great song. Wish I could experience those times again, to feel the love of my family when were all closer, living in the same house and not out of the nest yet.

Her career behind the music scenes is very interesting. I admire this woman very much!

      The fact that some people don't know who the iconic Bette Davis is truly is sad. Then again, the first producer who saw her initially said he saw no one who looked like a star and she was that and so much more. Those haunting eyes, that dramatic acting, that unmistakable voice... There will ever only be one Bette Davis.

      I'm a little confused by the song actually. I only discovered it recently when Ethel Cain covered it at a gig. I perceived it as a queer anthem but reading comments now I don't know if that's what the mainstream opinion is... Do people think it's queer-coded? The lyrics, vocal performance and music video feel very sapphic. Like she's lusting after this woman. I don't know who Bette Davis is but sounds like she must have been a bit of a sex symbol? Beautiful, troubled and dangerous to fall in love with?

I didn't understand the song at the time, but it was Kim's vocals that were captivating - and at that age, I didn't have the words to describe it, I only know that it grabbed me and held me for the entire song. Still does. The 80s were truly a magic decade as far as music is concerned.

    I remember the year my Dad gave me this album for my birthday. Barking at Airplanes is excellent, she had serious talent and Oh! that voice!! It had JUST come out, only 15 days before my 11th birthday, and I listened to that cassettte over and over and over until it finally got eaten by my tape player in the early 90's. I'd always meant to replace it with a CD, but never got around to it. Maybe I can remind my Dad about this; I'm about to turn 44 and I would still love to have this album! (Knowing Dad, he'll think it very sweet that I loved his gift so very much that I want it again, 33 years later!!)

      Gift yourself, and him with the CD (if its a good quality print).

We had some amazing conversations about what we found in the songs on that album. Music really can transcend generations.

    This is one of those songs that makes me want to play this on vinyl, turn the lights off, light some candles, pour myself a glass of bourbon and chill on the couch while letting the heavy atmosphere of the song envelop me. Sounds like an ideal evening to spend with myself and re-center. Anyone else enjoy being solitary?

    Quote from the keyboardist: "Anyway, we cut ‘Bette Davis Eyes’ totally live at Record One: every note, the percussion, even the [electronic] Synare and Kim's vocals; there was never an overdub. I think we did three takes and the one we used was take one."
    This song sounds so incredibly sublime and the fact that it was recorded live on the first take makes this even more amazing.

    Apparantly, Bette Davis heard the song, and liked it. That was a few years before she died (1989). And indeed, there was all of a sudden a new generation who wanted to know who the heck was the great but almost forgotten Davis. Loved her in Petrified Forest, in All about Eve and in the lesser known anti McCarthyism-movie Storm Center (1956), probably the first time Hollywood dared to reply to the former Senator and his croonies.

      @Areanyusernamesleft 8 лет назад +8

      Sorry +Nichetronix, but "proven completely right" is a gross and misleading characterization of actual history. The fact is that the majority of people Senator McCarthy accused as having communist ties had no connection to any communist political or governmental organization, or any real indication as being communist sympathizers other than the suspicions of McCarthy and his ilk. Of course he was correct about some he dragged through the mud, but only for the same reason a broken clock tells the correct time twice a day! :p
      That alone is bad enough, but his self-appointed "crusade" also showed contempt to some of the most fundamental concepts of the country he supposedly treasured, like "freedom of expression" and "innocent until proven guilty". He was often more subversive to such ideals than anyone he tried to expose...
