Even though I’m 60 years old… I always tear up at the end of Napoleon Dynamite .. The song is perfect for the innocence and love between those two it’s just perfect !! I remember those feelings
@@thewarrior5486 I beg your pardon? what is rude here. I only replied to a post without offending or personally attacking the person. This is called free speech
MY FAVE 80's song EVER! I've been waiting on a reaction to this! I never ever tire of this song...it instantly puts a smile on my face, puts me in a good mood and forces me to sing every word! Love!! LOL at your TMI comment!! 🤣
This is one of my favorite songs ever. When I hear this I can't explain what happens to me it's like a memory that's triggered by a sense I'm not in control of. I remember my youth and this being on the radio
The Moody Blues song “The Voice” and Paul McCartney-Wings song “Silly Love Songs” trigger me in the same manner. They were the only 2 songs I ever listened to in the car with my Pawnee biological dad. In 1980 or 83 (I don’t recall which, I was real little) he took us to Evans Mountain, in Colorado. And those songs played on the radio back to back.
I am right up with you about this song. The lyrics are so filled with hope. One of my favorite songs ever. Long live the promise. If you really love someone this is the song to share and give tribute to the love among two.
I think I was 12 when this came out and everything about it seemed so sophisticated: the name of the group, the name of the song, the juxtaposition of the vocal deliveries, the piano interlude. As much as I love 80s music this was a soothing departure from the flamboyance of the 80s and a bridge to the 90s.
This song invokes a very specific young, desperately-in-love-but-afraid-to-look-stupid, painfully-awkward feeling from like, high school or something. We’ve all felt it at some point. ❤️
Breathe - “Hands to Heaven”, “How Can I Fall” The Outfield - “My Paradise”, “All the Love In the World” Tears for Fears - “Woman in Chains” Icehouse - “Electric Blue” Escape Club - “I’ll Be There”
Basically a One Hit Wonder, but this song is awesome. It's another song that has not left my playlist since it was released, be it on cassette, mix tape, cd, mp3, or streaming it's been persistently in my musical realm. Thanks for reacting and sharing with us! ~Be Blessed
Mr. Video reacted to Napoleon Dynamite a few days ago, and now you're reacting to songs from the soundtrack. The universe is telling me to watch that movie tonight!
When In Rome started out as a British new wave trio consisting of vocalists Clive Farrington and Andrew Mann, and keyboardist Michael Floreale. Farrington and Mann had been members of a locally popular band called Beau Leisure when they decided to strike out on their own. This song was from their debut LP in 1988 and was an instant hit, reaching #11 on the Billboard Top 100. However, it turned out to be their only major hit. Farrington and Mann went on to other things, but they continued to stay in touch and write together. Floreale revived the group under the name When In Rome II in the mid-2000s with vocalist John Ceravolo and drummer Chris Willett. In 2009, Farrington and Mann reformed as When In Rome UK with drummer Rob Juarez. The band name was inspired by the idiom "When in Rome, do as the Romans do," which encourages adapting to the culture of the places we visit. Farrington got the idea when he and Floreale, both Manchester natives, were visiting London. He recalled in a 2012 interview with the newspaper The Citizens' Voice (Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania): "I distinctly remember dropping Mike off at a very unique food shop and saying something like, 'Let's try some of that,' followed by, 'When in Rome' - this was and still is my dad's favorite saying. This meant, of course, 'When in London, do as the Londoners do.' When Mike returned to the car, I said, 'How about When in Rome for the name of the band.' We both very enthusiastically agreed. When we both told Andrew, he gave the name his total blessing."
I heard this song in a 7/11 about a week ago and completely forgot about it. I immediately searched for it and played it like 20x at work. Made my day lol.
Yes, he has reacted to this song. But I have to say that I put my boom box next to the TV with “Three Men and a Little Lady” credits so I could record this song and listen to it over and over again. ❤️😊
The Psychedelic Furs, Ultravox, Roxy Music, Gene Loves Jezebel, Roman Holliday, Blancmange, The Bolshoi , Cutting Crew, Echo and The Bunnymen, Yaz, Visage, Fiction Factory, The Cult. Embrace the 80’s!!!!
@@dcharkey254 ....oh my goodness! Gene Loves Jezebel was such a kick ass band and as you say Jay is one hell of a performer. The Furs are way up there for me.... The Cult...?? Oh man.....what a blessing to be a young man when this music was poppin!
Jamel, if you're gonna react to this, you HAVE TO react to "Just Like Heaven" by The Cure, and "Space Age Love Song" by A Flock of Seagulls!!!! Sending love from Portland, Oregon!!!
Now you're pulling out the obscure favs!....Now, this is New wave the way it was meant to be! Thanks! Another classic one along these same lines is "The Great Commandment" by Camouflage! You won't regret it.
Mark, the German band "Axel Rudi Pell" does a great version of this song. ARP has a lot of great metal ballads and rockers. They might be equal to The Scorpions, or better. Other very good cover songs by ARP are: In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins, Beautiful Day by U2, Temple Of The King by Rainbow, Holy Diver by Ronnie Dio, I Will Survive by Ronnie Dio, Stone by Chris Rea).
This is a another great one hit wonder from the 80s which takes me right back to the late 80s in that time machine in my head. Great times and fantastic memories....sometimes when I hear songs like this is doesn’t seem that long ago, and than I realize it has been 33 years....wow
Man to man. I appreciate that when I need a moment with someone who reminds me of good lost friends, I can pull up your channel and almost instantly feel better. What you do is special. Keep it up friend!
That rare song that sounds better 30 years after it came out. The late 80s was saturated with good music across multiple genres so this song slipped through the cracks back then.
This song is the 80's. It's what you think of the moment it starts. It's at every prom, it was an instant classic and will always be a song that is in my rotation.
Another great 80's song. There's a British band that came out the same year as this band -- 1988 called Breathe. The songs Hands To Heaven and How Can I Fall are songs worth checking out. Duran Duran is another 80's staple band worth checking out.
Jamel, I've been feeling down as hell lately. This song "The Promise" is one of my all time favorite 80s songs. I came across your reaction video here. Immediately noticed your sweater and the writing. You're a genuine spirit man, seeing your energy and positive vibes in experiencing this classic... I thank you. Needed some positivity tonight.
OMG Jamal!!! We're almost at 1 MILLION!!!! Let's GO!!! Happy New Year! ...you could never react to all our favorite tunes,..but i'll say this,..I never thought you'd react to this one. I was just a young man,..and heard these lyrics? Imma songwriter,guitar,piano,.. Imagine That LOL.
There is a stunning version of this song with an equally stunning video by Superfruit, the side project of Scott Hoying and Mitch Grassi from Pentatonix, that is well worth a watch.
Though I’ve heard this song a million times, I’d never seen the video before and now I’m confused as to who was singing when haha. It’s fun to see these old videos that I might’ve missed, and even better watching with you! I’m so glad you did this one! I used to get so excited when this song came on the radio.
Jamel_AKA_Jamel: Thank you for being you. Watching, seeing, and hearing your reactions to songs I’ve loved my entire life, feeds my soul the same way keeping good music alive, and relating to people feeds yours.
I'm like you Jamel, I think I've heard it before but can't put my finger on it. Probably when out shopping. Loved it though! So many great songs in the 80's. Thanks for keeping it fresh for us!
I must confess, i spent years in search of this song on internet...When i found 😍 This songs brings me memories of my childhood in 90's, listening radio with ma papa. ❤️
My parents played this song in the house and so many other good songs like this in cassettes I miss those days being a kid hearing these new / old songs. Now my daughters are listening to them growing up
Epic 80's love song... like Ultravox's "Dancing with Tear's in My Eyes" , Icicle Works' "Whisper to a Scream" and my personal favorite "No Promises" by Icehouse... try them too...
Lucky i was in my 20s during this era....clubs and bars every weekend! Now 57 and wonder where the TIME went. My advice to young people...have fun,enjoy this time in your lives!!

Me too, and very good memories ❤
This song and band is more than criminally underrated. This song is such a masterpiece

Right!!
Oh, the 80s. Can we go back please?! ✌💞🎶
Yes, please.
Let’s go now!! 💙
I’ll second that

No not at all it depends on the perspective..... For me. Nothingi to do with Napoleon dynamite
Yessir! This made the end of Napoleon Dynamite so perfect!
Breathe - “Hands to Heaven”, “How Can I Fall”
The Outfield - “My Paradise”, “All the Love In the World”
Tears for Fears - “Woman in Chains”
Icehouse - “Electric Blue”
Escape Club - “I’ll Be There”
Wow... I forgot about Hands To Heaven!!! What a great song!!!
I am SO READY for The Outfield, and NOT "Your Love."
1927 - That’s When I Think of You (1988)
Fiction Factory - (Feels Like) Heaven
Love this song. It takes me back to cruising the local back roads in the 80s, with the sun shining and the windows down.
Beautiful comment and so true...
Oh thank you Jamel! One of my all time favorite songs! 🥰😍

They did a song called heaven knows
"I caught you a delicious bass....you wanna play me?"
❤️❤️❤️
This is the perfect song to back to back with Yaz "Only You"
Canned Heat and now this, think I’m gonna watch Napoleon Dynamite tonight
Mr. Video reacted to Napoleon Dynamite a few days ago, and now you're reacting to songs from the soundtrack. The universe is telling me to watch that movie tonight!
They just put it on hulu very recently as well! It's definitely a sign lol
Bringing back memories! Love these tunes more now - nostalgia is powerful!

Now for the complete Napoleon Dynamite hat trick, please react to "We're Going To Be Friends" by The White Stripes.
I heard this song in a 7/11 about a week ago and completely forgot about it. I immediately searched for it and played it like 20x at work. Made my day lol.
Must be Napoleon Dynamite day! Play Forever Young and my day will be complete 😘
"Waiting for a Star to Fall" by Boy Meets Girl should be your next stop from here
I think he already did that one.
Yes, he has reacted to this song. But I have to say that I put my boom box next to the TV with “Three Men and a Little Lady” credits so I could record this song and listen to it over and over again. ❤️😊
In my top 100 songs of all time
Berlin - Human League - Erasure - Dead or Alive all provide similar - Another one hit wonder band, these guys
Berlin and Human League had more than one hit.
All of these four bands had more than one hit. Dead or Alive had 3 on their second lp.
Now I have to watch Napoleon Dynamite tonight!!!! This song is amazing! Them HS days!!❤🤘😎 VOTE FOR PEDRO!!
How about some Breathe " How can i fall". And " Hands to heaven" are two great ones.
Everyone here going to ignore Jamel saying he let his boys pop out of some ripped jeans and just keep on going?
"...I'll follow you anywhere..." love this song! great choice
Must be Napoleon Dynamite Day or something. First Canned Heat, now this. Check out Sturgill Simpson's version as well.
Right!
Sturgill's version is awesome, and very very different.
I love Sturgill's version. A while different vibe, but it's great.
you've gotta react to Under the milkyway by the church,, its fantastic and takes you into another galaxy~~~~
Nostalgia is real with this one. Jr HS dance, working up the courage to ask her to dance, then this song plays.
I've seen Napoleon Dynamite dozens of times but I only recently found out that the movie continued after the credits.
The Psychedelic Furs, Ultravox, Roxy Music, Gene Loves Jezebel, Roman Holliday, Blancmange, The Bolshoi , Cutting Crew, Echo and The Bunnymen, Yaz, Visage, Fiction Factory, The Cult. Embrace the 80’s!!!!
THE FURS.
You have three of my faves on this list:
Furs, Gene, and Cult.....

Gene Loves Jezebel was such a kick ass band and as you say Jay is one hell of a performer.
The Furs are way up there for me....
The Cult...??
Oh man.....what a blessing to be a young man when this music was poppin!
Jamel, if you're gonna react to this, you HAVE TO react to "Just Like Heaven" by The Cure, and "Space Age Love Song" by A Flock of Seagulls!!!! Sending love from Portland, Oregon!!!
Heck yeah to both!
@@kimberlyfoust2815 they both take me right back to middle school!!!! ❤
❤ wow Amazing! It’s 2023 and yet still brings that soothing joy..
The 80's have perhaps the greatest overall collection of "story telling" love ballads known to man.
Now you're pulling out the obscure favs!....Now, this is New wave the way it was meant to be! Thanks! Another classic one along these same lines is "The Great Commandment" by Camouflage! You won't regret it.
This is one of my favorite songs. Very soft and mellow.
I assume next you're going to do Forever Young by Alphaville.

Rather hear Big in Japan. Just sayin'
Essa música está marcada na vida de muita gente Jamal, é um sentimento de saudade, triste e felicidade ao mesmo tempo.
Such a good song! Was happy to see you react to this one.

An often overlooked 80's classic, good choice to review
We are all one in a connected conciousness. No color only love.
I bloody love this channel!!!!
Epic 80's love song... like Ultravox's "Dancing with Tear's in My Eyes" , Icicle Works' "Whisper to a Scream" and my personal favorite "No Promises" by Icehouse... try them too...
