🎶She's as pure as New York snow😎🎵 Gonna need a HIV test🩸this is the 80s, ➕ 🟰 death sentence☠⚰ 😵🪦 RIP to the guy who boinked the loose chick with the sexy 👀 who had the 🏳🌈 and/or 👨🏿🦱 disease . This song took a dark turn😓 LOVE THIS SONG -💓
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.
I'm 76, was 33 when this came out. Kim's voice just gave me the shivers....and still does. People are right. NObody could ever sing this song like Kim Carnes....and NObody ever will.
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.
The tune, the synth, the voice, the chord progression, the emotion, the mix of country, rock and new wave - this is and will always be one of my Desert Island Discs. Cheers Kim.
I was wearing my headphones playing the drums and had some music playing on the computer. I wasn't listening to it, just had it on in the corner. 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.
I didn't get to know my mom.. she passed when I was three.. but her friend told me what her favorite song was.. and when I feel I need a hug.. I play it.. makes me sad.. but better at the same time.. wishing you well through your journey in life..
This song is close to my heart. It reminds me of my mom, and our long drives. She is gone now, but this song was her anthem. When I hear this song I can see her in the front seat of her beloved 1979 Z28. I miss her.
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 What an outstanding performer Kim Carnes is.
"She's got Bette Davis Eyes" means she's a femme fatale who's out to ruin a man for revenge, money or both through seduction, abuse, deception and manipulation Bette Davis is known for these roles
@@SirMannyOfStyria irgendwann kommen auch bessere zeiten ;D ich muss mit depressionen klar kommen,aber es werden auch wieder bessere phasen kommen.Lass den kopf nicht hängen möchte ich damit sagen ;D
Mi milagros un México oyendo buena música porque la música mexicana es de lo peor que yo e escuchado después del reguetón prefiero reguetón que la música mexicana 🤮💩
Love Kimcarnes ferociously beautiful voice on this song. I remember when it first came out in the 80's, its healing sound and sentiment is unforgettable, keeping its power to this day. Thanks Kimcanrnes!
Watching these amazing 80s music videos on RUclips is such a wonderful escape…..and makes me realize how much of our humanity and enjoyment we have lost in the last four decades.
That melody, that voice, that atmosphere. This song, in addition to bringing good energy, produces an inexplicable nostalgic feeling, congratulations Kim Carnes

how about the music from the 60's and 70's, not to take away from the 80's since I had a lot of fun in college back in the 80's, but I grew up with the bands that inspired these bands
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. ❤
I suppose your son son was born in 2002 just 4 years before the birth of my son, Back in 2003 I was constantly listening to this song but I was not pregnant obviously I'm a man
I was a baby when these songs were made but boy I've been listening to this 80s music & wish I was there back then but we are here so we can imagine what it must have been to live it real-time.
Yes! I was 18 in 1984! Long live the 80s! Great music! Great times! I miss it tremendously! High School class of 1984! From LOUDOUN COUNTY, VIRGINIA! 😎😎🎤🎤
This song reminds me of why I liked the 80's so much. Great music and fun times. This song was #1 for nine non-consecutive weeks. It was bumped from the top spot for a week only to regain it a week later, a truly remarkable feat for a song to do. Great voice Kim, rock on🤟.
I am fortunate enough to have been a teenager in the 80's. I remember listening to this song on the radio when it was climbing the charts. I had no clue that it was going to be a classic.
No autotune! No mimicking! No pretentiousness! Just Pure Raw Genious! Pure Awesomeness! I was there back in the early 80’s witnessing this timeless classic reaching the stardom!
I am an old Boomer now...By the end of the 1970s, I had pretty much given up on popular music, having been so immersed in the fabulous 1960s, and early 1970s music explosion...But when MTV showed up, I began to appreciate such masterful artists as this fine, talented woman!...A voice almost like Rod Stewart, looks like a supermodel, and incorporating very infectious Synthethiser riffing!...She deserved to be a major force in the ensuing decades. Her career behind the music scenes is very interesting. I admire this woman very much!
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). I turned my mother on to Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane, and she found new layers and meaning in that until the day she passed. We had some amazing conversations about what we found in the songs on that album. Music really can transcend generations.

k8fearsnoart Only thing is, Bette Davis Eyes isn't on that album. (It's called Voyeur).
It's the voice, the music, and the lyrics that make this an amazing song. I believe that 100 years from now, people will still be listening to this song.
ooh that voice and that synth backing so simple and so seductive a loop. 80's classic that never seems to age. I see similarities to Lauper's time after time that's equally catchy. Great songs!
I wasn’t born until 93 but I was raised on all 80s music I’m now about to be 31 an all I listen to is rock n roll and 80s hair bands and I love this song
@ 42, it reminds me of running errands w/ my mom. No seat belt of course & standing on the hump on the floor in between the back seats so I could poke my head over to the front seats. Probably still safer than the backwards seats of 80s station wagons :-)
So you was 51 when this song got released. Is that what you credit your longevity to Sir? Never letting yourself get mentally old and embarrassing new stuff?
@@tristanthomas5006 It's literally all luck. You can be as healthy and physically/mentally active all you want, but anyone's life can be over at any time. Some of the healthiest people in the world just keel over and die. Some of the unhealthiest people live to be 100. Just live your life as you want to.
I was obsessed with this song when it came out. As others have mentioned, this song (among many others of the era) is a perfect time machine! Close your eyes and you are transported to those places that were special to you where you heard your favorite songs. This song feels as contemporary as anything i listen to today by current artists, yet I first heard it approximately 40 years ago.Remember Gen Z, we Baby Boomers and Gen Xers were once your age and we lived large out in the world because there were no PCs, Macs, or similar - and certainly no such thing as video games beyond those found in pizza parlors and arcades. So if you see us dancing or moving our out of shape bodies or tapping our feet with closed eyes, please know we are not in the present - we have been transported to the past.
So true. One of my favorite things (I miss) from that era was when a great band came out with an album, me and my friends would just hang out and play the entire album end to end, getting lost in the music. Great memories centered around great songs.
Sometimes there is a certain heartache to be had when reminiscing, especially to this timeless classic. I remember all my old friends who I have not seen in decades. Where are they now, what are they doing, how did their lives turn out? This is a very beautiful song and I would not have it any other way.
Hi my friend I say the same thing all the time..know why?because I compare our beloved days back then to now..and guess??there is no comparison..we had been blessed with all with talent that took a year or more writing music or train there voice for years now you can run a computer and have a shit voice and no talent that’s award winning..the fun we had the kids in playgrounds..knowing family outings suppers and just hanging out together..all the I love you’s and all the awesome tv shows variety shows and everything just about on tv and the silver screen..kids that had respect for parents and teachers until some bullshit political correctness allows the old wrong be today’s right and and today’s right to be definitive wrong for yesterday..that’s what the fk is wrong!purposely and deliberately to turn our youths brains into obedient duck shit no lies here is truth in nutshell
more like who is betty davis. that is what i said the first time i heard it. well i knew who she was but never paid attention to her eyes before this song.
Assistindo a esse vídeo da Kim Carnes, fico imaginando como naquela época em que essa música estourou nas paradas de sucesso e não se tinha os recursos audiovisuais de hj e mesmo assim pudemos desfrutar de tantas músicas que se tornaram hinos em nossas vidas! Ainda bem que temos o RUclips para recordar os bons tempos da músicas pop!!!!
This was my dad's favorite song. I used to play it for him all the time on my record player. He died a little over 2 months ago. I miss you dad and will always think of you when I hear this song.
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?
Tengo 21 años, y al escuchar esta canción siento como me abraza la nostalgia, no viví los 80s, pero al escuchar esto, solo quiero estar en esa hermosa época ...
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?
This is one of those songs that makes me want to toss myself down a set of stairs, douse myself with gasoline, light some matches, pour myself a glass of bourbon and cry in terror while the heavy atmosphere of the song suffocates me...
I know what you mean. Turn up both the BASS and the TREBLE knobs; have it blasting out; in your own world imagining your first kiss. AND THEN....Mother's voice breaks in...have you don't your homework? DInner is nearly ready. Walk the dog,......and your sports kit won't get washed on it's own - it will stink of teenager. Keep dancing Tom. Don't get old.

Bette Davis' eyes deserve it.
They tease you after they seduced you saying to you, '' I like to Kiss you, but i ve just washed my hair..bye!''
First time hearing this song my favourite now
It’s comforting to know that this masterpiece is still appreciated by all of you wonderful people.

Schöne Story 😢
Так же и у меня, запомнилось в детстве сильно
How's your vision now this brought tears to my eyes...
God bless you amigo mio
I'm 76, was 33 when this came out. Kim's voice just gave me the shivers....and still does.
People are right.
NObody could ever sing this song like Kim Carnes....and NObody ever will.
Janis Joplin could complete with hair toss
Wrong: Bonnie Tyler could "Total eclipse of the heart"
We used to make fun of the (new at time) drum machine sounds like coke cans ratlling with rocks in them
You are so right! Love this song! I was 25 when I first heard it so I bought the cassette. That’s awhile ago!😊
Just can ' t best the OG ...
No one else could sing this song, Kim Carnes had the perfect voice, rugged and throaty. Bravo!
👍❤
Agree
Janis Joplin would absolutely crush this song
Tylko ona jest w stanie tak zastosować naturalną chrypkę❤
Agnetha has been said to sound like spun sugar
there's something spectacularly special about the sound of 80s!

Way before the internet, compact discs. I still have her cassette, up in the attic. Today's music is garbage. All computer generated. 😢
I was wearing my headphones playing the drums and had some music playing on the computer. I wasn't listening to it, just had it on in the corner. 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.

I had a crush on a girl once, every time I heard this song, it reminded me of her. I guess that's why love songs are eternal, they never get old.
Beautifully said!!!❤❤❤

I had too and I was 17 and had an crush to my college class mate... and a girl too if someone wonders:P
Hope you guys meet again
I had a crush on a girl too and this was our song... 9 months later you were born. It must be the genetics...
Kim Carnes...underrated and wonderful. Thank you for your voice and artistry.
58 now. I was 14 when i heard this first. And i still love her.....😊
This song always makes me want to cry.Because listening to her, I recall all the joyful and happy moments of my life!
Come on bro now I’m sad,

I'm only 19 and I have to cry so much. I cry for moments I never experienced in this life. It's like I'm crying for a life I lived before.

One of my favorite 80s songs. I love the synths and the clapping part.
OMG her voice is absolutely magnificent
Yeah, sounds like she's smoked a pack of cigarettes before she's sang. You need to learn real talent.
This song is such a masterpiece.. time passes by so quickly, but we always remember those fond beautiful memories.. the ones of happiness and purirty

I am an old Boomer now...By the end of the 1970s, I had pretty much given up on popular music, having been so immersed in the fabulous 1960s, and early 1970s music explosion...But when MTV showed up, I began to appreciate such masterful artists as this fine, talented woman!...A voice almost like Rod Stewart, looks like a supermodel, and incorporating very infectious Synthethiser riffing!...She deserved to be a major force in the ensuing decades. Her career behind the music scenes is very interesting. I admire this woman very much!
She got Larry David eyes
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). I turned my mother on to Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane, and she found new layers and meaning in that until the day she passed. We had some amazing conversations about what we found in the songs on that album. Music really can transcend generations.
k8fearsnoart Only thing is, Bette Davis Eyes isn't on that album. (It's called Voyeur).
Aw that's a cute story
It's the voice, the music, and the lyrics that make this an amazing song.
I believe that 100 years from now, people will still be listening to this song.
If they have any taste and sense of the cool...
What a spectacular voice!
ooh that voice and that synth backing so simple and so seductive a loop. 80's classic that never seems to age. I see similarities to Lauper's time after time that's equally catchy. Great songs!
Voice is similar to Bonnie Tyler.
Sounds like a female Rod Stewart too
I wasn’t born until 93 but I was raised on all 80s music I’m now about to be 31 an all I listen to is rock n roll and 80s hair bands and I love this song
❤😂❤
А кто делал на них ремиксы из хаус диджеев?
Просто проигрыш очень часто слышен у других
Just Awesome. Wonderful parents. Go back to the 60's and 70's and hear what it's all about.
I am 42 and still love 80s songs
There is something comforting about 80s synths.
Oooooo yeeeeeehawwww
Yeah man. I miss what I did not live. I was born in 1997. But my soul is older, for sure.
The best👍🏻
Sure, i wish i could be in 80s driving around miami at 2 am in a ford corrtina maybe listening to 80s synth
@ 42, it reminds me of running errands w/ my mom. No seat belt of course & standing on the hump on the floor in between the back seats so I could poke my head over to the front seats. Probably still safer than the backwards seats of 80s station wagons :-)
Phenomenal Song !! Thank you Miss Carnes
What a record, what a voice, what a gorgeous woman!
I never knew Kim was so incredibly beautiful.
Yes she is
Diddo!
Jeez, That croak in Kims voice when she sings the chorus is just perfect ! ! ! !.
Indeed it is.
It's magical 🎉❤😎
Some Rod Stewart goo in her throat i think
I still love her voice & this song
Just turned 90 and still love this song.
I turned 60, and was 21 when it came out... Hypnotizing tune!
Every music fan loves that song, no matter what age
For real? 90? Tell me something I'd never consider
So you was 51 when this song got released. Is that what you credit your longevity to Sir? Never letting yourself get mentally old and embarrassing new stuff?
@@tristanthomas5006 It's literally all luck. You can be as healthy and physically/mentally active all you want, but anyone's life can be over at any time. Some of the healthiest people in the world just keel over and die. Some of the unhealthiest people live to be 100. Just live your life as you want to.
Still here baby!!! Good music never dies!!!!!❤❤❤❤Rip Queen voice of an Angel!!!!!
I was obsessed with this song when it came out. As others have mentioned, this song (among many others of the era) is a perfect time machine! Close your eyes and you are transported to those places that were special to you where you heard your favorite songs. This song feels as contemporary as anything i listen to today by current artists, yet I first heard it approximately 40 years ago.Remember Gen Z, we Baby Boomers and Gen Xers were once your age and we lived large out in the world because there were no PCs, Macs, or similar - and certainly no such thing as video games beyond those found in pizza parlors and arcades. So if you see us dancing or moving our out of shape bodies or tapping our feet with closed eyes, please know we are not in the present - we have been transported to the past.
So true. One of my favorite things (I miss) from that era was when a great band came out with an album, me and my friends would just hang out and play the entire album end to end, getting lost in the music. Great memories centered around great songs.
13Ambro I as well. I as well.😎
This song is timeless, it could have been written at anytime in the last 80 years and have the same effect, PRICELESS
Not true
@@clubfillerspinkknickers9791 lol troll
Sometimes there is a certain heartache to be had when reminiscing, especially to this timeless classic. I remember all my old friends who I have not seen in decades. Where are they now, what are they doing, how did their lives turn out? This is a very beautiful song and I would not have it any other way.
Hi my friend I say the same thing all the time..know why?because I compare our beloved days back then to now..and guess??there is no comparison..we had been blessed with all with talent that took a year or more writing music or train there voice for years now you can run a computer and have a shit voice and no talent that’s award winning..the fun we had the kids in playgrounds..knowing family outings suppers and just hanging out together..all the I love you’s and all the awesome tv shows variety shows and everything just about on tv and the silver screen..kids that had respect for parents and teachers until some bullshit political correctness allows the old wrong be today’s right and and today’s right to be definitive wrong for yesterday..that’s what the fk is wrong!purposely and deliberately to turn our youths brains into obedient duck shit no lies here is truth in nutshell
Btw, the song "Reminiscing", by The Little River Band, is also good; just remembered, when you used the word, lol.
Son rolas que nunca pasan de moda
One of the greatest songs of all times and no one else could sing it like Kim Love that voice
Even better than Betty Davis singer.
True
If you listen to this song nowadays, you gonna feel that "OMG, I need to come back in time now!"
Just amazing song!
more like who is betty davis. that is what i said the first time i heard it. well i knew who she was but never paid attention to her eyes before this song.
❤Kim Carnes. She revitalized our music. Thx. 🙏
I turn 70 November 30th
Absolutely listening, still rockin at 73 years old
She's 79 now........;)............
Nothing compares to 80's music . Never grows old .
Exactly ❤
Nothing, except for 50s, 60s & early70s music (pre-disco)...pop music's been going downhill since then, SMH
Actually trash cans sounds way better than 80s.
@@allaboutstupid2228 🤣🤣👍
@@allaboutstupid2228 Just like the internet gave a voice to stupids like you
A great song from a GREAT era of music.
I miss those days.
God, I miss it.
I LOVE THIS SONG!! Its in my new list of " Top 25 Favorite Songs Of The 1980's" You should check it out!
George Vreeland Hill me too
George Vreeland Hill u are not the only one that miss the 80's
George Vreeland Hill wish i was alive in this era :
this what real music should sound like
I can’t stop playing this song!!! I love it Kim!!! ❤
the synths... are...so...freakin...perfect 😫
I couldn't agree more. Love the synths in this song
For real
Add the chorused guitars
at least a decade ahead of its time!
That 80's sound in (march 1981) Impressive.
Assistindo a esse vídeo da Kim Carnes, fico imaginando como naquela época em que essa música estourou nas paradas de sucesso e não se tinha os recursos
audiovisuais de hj e mesmo assim pudemos desfrutar de tantas músicas que se tornaram hinos em nossas vidas!
Ainda bem que temos o RUclips para recordar os bons tempos da músicas pop!!!!
Somos do tempo em que se tinha boas músicas.
Sou de 1971 eu não tenho a menor dúvida ❤
We love you Kim!
"she's pure as new york snow" Love that line.
🤔
New York snow is some of the dirtiest snow I have ever seen. After a morning of traffic it's black.
Brian Koerperich cocaine, not actual snow
@@briankoerperich7571 For sure but MAYBE she's talking about upstate new york snow :-p
@@garrettdoucette3961 i thought same LMAO
I listen alot, love the 80s & 90s!
This was my dad's favorite song. I used to play it for him all the time on my record player. He died a little over 2 months ago. I miss you dad and will always think of you when I hear this song.
that's so touching, RIP
I pray God gives you the strength and courage to bear the lost of your dad...
@@preciousebeli3301 Thanks so much for your kind words. I am getting help dealing with this loss in the best way I can.
@@dhalianazha9195 Thank you.
You are Loved & Loving sooooooo many levels. ❤️
Isso é um tipo de música que ascende a todas as gerações. Nunca me canso de ouvir essa linda canção.
This unbelievable song never gets old; Still and Always is one of my favorites!
Amazing song!
Esto si que era música y no lo que hay ahora, ¡¡forever Kim Carnes!!
The fact that people these days don't know who Bette Davis is but still completely understand what this song means is great.
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.
Well I also saw clips like ,,The big dictator" from Charlie Chaplin before I even knew who he was.
No tenga idea quien sea Bette Davis pero está canción me encanta 😃
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?
THE GOLDEN AGE OF HOLLYWOOD. :(🎉🎉🎉
It's crazy how many people come back to this everyday.This song is legendary♪
So true
Bro you comment on every single video from Taylor swift to Justin Bieber to fucking acdc go away you bot
Lies again? BDS BDE
YEAH BOIIIIIIII
FAKE BOT COMMENTING ON EVERY SONG ON FKING RUclips
Takes me back to the time I lived with my mother in Brazil. She passed away in 2022. This is my mother's song.

Blessed to have each other

My new favorite song!!! Kim Carnes has the perfect voice for the perfect song.
Im listening to this on march 1st 2021. Brings back so many memories. Kim is the best. Thanks for the 80s
July 13 in Taiwan. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Who would have thought we'd descend so far that the 80's would seem wholesome.
@@drewandrews4537q
Bette Davis eyes is a banger.
Part of a cadenc in the Army
The way she says "Ferocious" and "precocious" gives me goosebumps. The sheer mastery she has over her vocal fry is astounding.
I feel the same way, luv luv luv those magical words 😊
Great guitar sound!
This song is like a Time Machine. Instantly transporting us to the 80s. ❤️🕺🏻👌🏼
80s were the best
I’m hearing this song for the first time and I love her voice!
Coincido plenamente contigo soy un amante del rock argentino y de esta musica maravillosa
Music speaks to us in the language of eternity.
parece que sim.
15 years pass and this song still gives me goosebumps whenever I listen to it ❤
This song can continue to accumulate years of antiquity and will continue to sound a thousand times better than any song of today.
i agree with you music sucks now adays
Life sucks nowadays lol
It's like a great wine
Facts.. 80s was golden
Especially Ed sheeran lol
Tengo 21 años, y al escuchar esta canción siento como me abraza la nostalgia, no viví los 80s, pero al escuchar esto, solo quiero estar en esa hermosa época ...
Me pasa lo mismo que a vos, a diferencia de que tengo 17. Saludos desde Argentina!
Yo quiero Taco Bell
70s
Super Diego, tienes excelente Gusto 👏
@@luzgamboa5735 ¿Verdad?
Beautiful husky voice.
Beautiful babe , too.
Any time I hear this song, I can't turn away. This is a powerhouse song! Well done Kim!!
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?
LOVE BEING SOLITARY. Best thing Corona gave the world.
This is one of those songs that makes me want to toss myself down a set of stairs, douse myself with gasoline, light some matches, pour myself a glass of bourbon and cry in terror while the heavy atmosphere of the song suffocates me...

I know what you mean. Turn up both the BASS and the TREBLE knobs; have it blasting out; in your own world imagining your first kiss.
