Over 35 years later......and this song still sends chills down your back. Susanna is absolutely drop-dead gorgeous. The voice, those eyes......WOW!!!!!
@joevarga1769 what is he talking about?She's got a really good voice and vocal range! Something I didn't realise as a youngster for I was to busy going gaga over her stunning looks 🥰😍🤩
I'm 65 and my wife almost 70. I wish we could listen to this song together after all the hard times, 6 kids and endless challenges.......I wish I could serenade her with this.
Isn't Susanna Hoffs beautiful though, even at 65 she is a 7/10. Which cumulative looks score like that she's basically one of the best looking women around.
Just a thought that came up after reading your post: DO IT, do what you mention, do what you dream about. I guess I would be pondering just like you what might be the perfect time for doing something like this, but there isn't. I'm pretty sure it will be a magical moment for you and even more important for your wife.
@MuantanamoMobile main character? What are you on about? It's a music band. It's not a movie set. Whatever comes to your mind, you'll just say? That's fine since you're the main character in your world of made-up facts.
And almost got her kicked out of the group! 😆 Apparently they were very jealous about it and thought she was hogging the spotlight with it! She said,she didn't even realize she was doing it!
I don't follow current pop music fanatically (I hear the most popular songs periodically just by virtue of them floating my way), but you have to admit: "today's music sucks compared to the crap from when I was young" is a BS assessment, and has been so every decade since music was invented. Surely, if you remember 80s 90s music being good, you remember Baby Boomers and the Silent Generation taking a steamy dump all over it.
@@imalwaysright We'll find out later. But I'm guessing something from Dua Lipa's or Lady Gaga's repertoire would be regarded as such at the very least.
Hi from Ireland. Was enchanted by this song and Susanna as a 9 year old boy. Magical. What a world we have descended to since the beautiful innocent 80s
Hoffs definately one of the most beautiful woman i've ever seen with an equally beautiful angelic voice (it gave me goosebum all over my body man..), but the guitar that Vicki played, is also a beauty to behold 😱😱😱😱😱
Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling Do you feel my heart beating? Do you understand? Do you feel the same? Am I only dreaming? Is this burning an eternal flame? I believe it's meant to be, darling I watch you when you are sleeping You belong with me Do you feel the same? Am I only dreaming? Or is this burning (burning) an eternal flame?

The girls harmonize and sing together with tremendous talent. They were really something back in the day, and Susanna still rocks. I love it when she goes for those high notes.
Susanna couldn't really reach that high note. Studio only, probably took her a bunch of takes to reach it. This appearance was a lip-sync of the released single. If you watch recorded live performances, you'll see she always had to dial the volume way back to reach that note. It was an awesome ballad.
Few groups reach the heights this group did, especially girl bands. This is an epic song and the quiet standing ovation during the song testifies to it's grandeur and probably permeant status. It's beauty cannot be over stated.
@@kentjensen4504 Yes, they are a girl band. I'm 68, and from where I am, any female under about 45 is a girl. No offense is intended, but that's just how I see it.
@@kentjensen4504dude, are you fer serious? Not even in the same league as the Beatles….they were totally a girl band. Didn’t write any of there songs….maybe one of the co writers in a large group of song doctors from the label. Don’t get me wrong, they sounded great but if they don’t have the gimmick they wouldn’t have had the success.
Susanna Hoffs beauty is just on another level, seriously my eyes are working fine but I've never come across that level of beauty since. It's 2024, and there's nothing
As a mans man who battles in this world all the time, it seems as though there is no end to the cold hard steel and wearing grit of sand and dirt.....then you have this song. It reminds me of the tenderness and preciousness that I ironically fight for. I love this Fu#!n5 song!!
One of the best ballads of the best decade of music and the Bangles were my fav female group from that amazing era. Suzanna Hoff absolutely smashes this song outta the park with her lead vocals and those hypnotic eyes. Iconic performance.
This is such a touching, beautiful song by The Bangles, and a 80s Classic. Susanna Hoffs has such a amazing voice, and a very beautiful woman. A shame The Bangles aren't a group anymore.
Susanna is the most beautiful woman ever with the most beautiful voice ever. This song gives me goosebumbs every time. Especially when she starts going raspy; it's magical. Also the harmony on the other ladies is amazing it's like they're singing with 1 voice.
There are lots of lovely faces that I remember from back in the day, and when I go back and look now...maybe the bar has been set higher over the years? I don't know, but often I do not find them quite as beautiful as I once did. They do not have the same effect on me. Susanna Hoff, however....I still find her absolutely gorgeous. I saw recent pictures of her a little while ago and she still looks lovely to this day! And still has a great voice - maybe even better than before!
There’s a level of beauty that can only be matched and not exceeded. Susanna definitely is in possession of this beauty level, and the way she knew how to stare at the camera as she sung is unmatched to this day. ❤
One thing about the "visuals" and beauty of the group that always gets disregarded/set aside is how all members are so beautiful and magical in their own ways, you have Susana who completely took over the fans and made so many people (and cameras) fall in love with her for her alluring eyes and mermaid strong voice, but she also stands out thanks to the strong presence of the other girls, who are all taller and longer than her, with strong facial structures that really remind me of witches from another era (and I say this as a heartfelt compliment to them), creating a beautiful balance with her petite frame and delicate voice plus features. Susana alone can take over fans, music, but altogether proved to be not only underrated af til today, but also power vocals and a legendary group.
@@robertowensiii1567 - Suzanna is now 64 and just published her first novel "This Bird has Flown". She released it in May, 2023 and the movie rights have already been purchased. She is still a beautiful woman!
May 23rd 1986 my only child was born. A day later I was on my way to pick up her and my wife. I heard this song 3 times in the 20 min ride. Every time I hear it I remember that day. I lost her to Covid in April of 2020. I burst out crying every time I hear this. For me it's so powerful. It's beautiful and worth the tears.
@@egj1975 Yeah, this is the studio version playing. I have looked at all the live version of this song and although she doesn't sound bad, she can never quite nail the higher notes as she did in studio. Lip-synching for live TV broadcast seemed very common in the 80s and 90s...
Jako kilkunasto latek miałem u siebie w pokoju plakat tych pięknych kobiet. Piękne to były czasy. Teraz mam 50 lat oglądam te pięne kobiety z nieukrywana pełną wspomnień radością. Pozdrawiam z Polski. 🇵🇱
When I was a kid back in the late 80s, this is one of the songs that made a mark in my memory. It's good to know that all of them are still alive to this day.
I was post University by 1980 and this is still one of my favourite songs. Worth looking into the history of the group. Also love, Walk Like an Egyptian.
Wonderful arrangement by this classic 1980s female group, The Bangles, epitomises that essence of creativity that emerged in the halcyon period of popular music in those three classic decades, 1960-90 and continues to be pursued by those connoisieurs of romance, love and desire that permiated that era. This US group of four Jewish girls from California left to right, sisters Vicky & Debbie Petersen, lead singer Susanna Hoff and Michaela, produced one of the most polished live performances of any contemporary group, standing before their microphones effusing a result equal to any studio production much to the rapturous applause of the audience at Countdown UK, initially in anticipation, and ultimately at the concluding phrase "Do You Understand", even though acceptance of the comprehension of understanding only intensifies the desire expressed in their vocals and harmony, but does not make the reality any easier in our asset driven culture of now. The Eternal Flame perpetuates the ultimate quest of hope as time passages prolong the driven passion expressed by that sought within The Eternal Flame. Susanna Hof in the verse after the guitar solo hits the highest of high notes, superb from such a petite persona. Ultimately the girls step back from their microphones as they conclude with the perennial question to those on the outer, "Do You Understand" (no not really in an emotional guise, but maybe as the reality of fiscal essence, but that does not make acceptance any easier} and the girls stand humbly to the rapturous applause, hands behind their backs. Time has passed and they are all now in their sixties, married with families confronting the challenges that are embodied by father time and mother nature, but we can all be grateful that in 1989, this performance was captured for eternity and allows us to be submerged within the aura of emotion expressed by this superb female quartet. (first recorded in 1983) RRG as @user-g17zk3css1r
I imagine there were many "standing ovations" from the guys in the audience. Susanna Hoffs is a sensual knockout with those incredible eyes. They harmonize so well. Great group. I love "Walk like an Egyptian " Great fun track.
Sometimes, there's so much beauty in the world - I feel like I can't take it, like my heart is just going to cave in. Every time I see the angelic Susannah Hoffs, I feel this
The lead singer knows how to use the camera.....and the other girls are such great complimentary voices. We need more fun shows like "Countdown", "Top of the Pop" and "American Bandstand." The lead must be one of the best ever at adoring her fans, the moment and the people watching on television.
First off one of the best bands of my lifetime! teenager years1980s . I can't believe the voice that came out of this little girl. Golden vocal pipes. Coming from an Old school Metal Vocalist..
@@onceagain6184 No shit Sherlock. I was just saying that voice coming from her small stature is just amazing & powerful. I was paying respect. I don't see how I was disrespectful at all? To each thier own! Peace.
Beautiful song, but what pushes it it over the top to classic are the powerful background vocals. Wow. God bless whoever arranged this incredible work of art. Susanna....OMG. Thank you for sharing your talent.
The voices of the group in choir, in such a harmonious way, with the instruments in a simple way, with very beautiful lyrics and a good rhythm and the voice of the vocalist, it is together that makes the music fantastic and a symbol of the romantic music of the years 80. Thank you. As vozes do grupo em coro, de forma tão harmônica, com os instrumentos de forma singela, com uma letra muito bonita e um bom ritmo e a voz da vocalista, é em conjunto de torna a música fantástica e um símbolo da música romântica dos anos 80. Lembranças do Brasil. Obrigado.
Wow - what a beautiful live vocal performance by all of them! I was very fortunate to see them live in 2000. Not their heyday, but they still sounded absolutely incredible!

You can debate the most beautiful singers of that era, but IMO there's no argument about the sexiest eyes: Susanna Hoffs.
I was sixteen years old in 1989. How I loved 80s music, but as the name of the song says, this decade is an eternal flame that will never go out.
Same here!!!
One thing about the "visuals" and beauty of the group that always gets disregarded/set aside is how all members are so beautiful and magical in their own ways, you have Susana who completely took over the fans and made so many people (and cameras) fall in love with her for her alluring eyes and mermaid strong voice, but she also stands out thanks to the strong presence of the other girls, who are all taller and longer than her, with strong facial structures that really remind me of witches from another era (and I say this as a heartfelt compliment to them), creating a beautiful balance with her petite frame and delicate voice plus features.

This US group of four Jewish girls from California left to right, sisters Vicky & Debbie Petersen, lead singer Susanna Hoff and Michaela, produced one of the most polished live performances of any contemporary group, standing before their microphones effusing a result equal to any studio production much to the rapturous applause of the audience at Countdown UK, initially in anticipation, and ultimately at the concluding phrase "Do You Understand", even though acceptance of the comprehension of understanding only intensifies the desire expressed in their vocals and harmony, but does not make the reality any easier in our asset driven culture of now. The Eternal Flame perpetuates the ultimate quest of hope as time passages prolong the driven passion expressed by that sought within The Eternal Flame. Susanna Hof in the verse after the guitar solo hits the highest of high notes, superb from such a petite persona. Ultimately the girls step back from their microphones as they conclude with the perennial question to those on the outer, "Do You Understand" (no not really in an emotional guise, but maybe as the reality of fiscal essence, but that does not make acceptance any easier} and the girls stand humbly to the rapturous applause, hands behind their backs. Time has passed and they are all now in their sixties, married with families confronting the challenges that are embodied by father time and mother nature, but we can all be grateful that in 1989, this performance was captured for eternity and allows us to be submerged within the aura of emotion expressed by this superb female quartet.

@@grant0226 same age. The 80's was an innocent decade
@@gullitlevia787 I agree
I imagine there were many "standing ovations" from the guys in the audience. Susanna Hoffs is a sensual knockout with those incredible eyes. They harmonize so well. Great group. I love "Walk like an Egyptian " Great fun track.
Yep......nearly 40 years later and still find her sooooooo beautiful......My 80s crush!....Susannah Hoffs.
The harmony of the women is so angelic!
they're one of a kind, and they're all hot, especially susanna hoffs
Sometimes, there's so much beauty in the world - I feel like I can't take it, like my heart is just going to cave in. Every time I see the angelic Susannah Hoffs, I feel this
I always love Susanna Hoffs' vocals. Such an iconic voice.
Gave me chills when they hit the climax with the great backing vocals.
Sorry but it aint live singing... its a track
Yea when they turned up the volume on the fake orchestra and the way they pretended to sing was pretty awesome too. God people are dumb
My fave part of the song
58. But 23 again watching and listening to this.
What a wonderful group the Bangles! Bravo!!
Such a great ballad. Susanna's mix of shocking beauty & voice is just hypnotic, never matched. A great band from a greater time.
There were many great songs in the 80s, but this is my favorite.
The lead singer knows how to use the camera.....and the other girls are such great complimentary voices. We need more fun shows like "Countdown", "Top of the Pop" and "American Bandstand." The lead must be one of the best ever at adoring her fans, the moment and the people watching on television.
First off one of the best bands of my lifetime! teenager years1980s . I can't believe the voice that came out of this little girl. Golden vocal pipes. Coming from an Old school Metal Vocalist..
The best of the best! Old school 80's
She was a grown woman! Have some respect.
@@onceagain6184 No shit Sherlock. I was just saying that voice coming from her small stature is just amazing & powerful. I was paying respect. I don't see how I was disrespectful at all? To each thier own! Peace.
Im getting worse im old man looking at lovely girls
This song is eternally loved ... from youth to adult of mine. I have still listened to this song from time to time. HER VOICE IS MAGIC !!!
Beautiful song, but what pushes it it over the top to classic are the powerful background vocals. Wow. God bless whoever arranged this incredible work of art. Susanna....OMG. Thank you for sharing your talent.
You mean the fake orchestra and lip syncing.
@@alanandmichellerichardson1238doesnt take away from the beauty of the song you stupid monkey
Hard to believe 34 year's have gone by so fast!😢
Beautiful voice from a beautiful lady, of course the rest is absolutely amazing!❤
Beautiful woman, with the most beautiful, sweet, lovely voice. ❤
I've had a crush on Susanna Hoffs since like 91. She's STILL amazingly beautiful at 65.
Quem não tava vivo na década de 80 não pode dizer que viveu.
Eu não era nascido, mas agradeço ao RUclips todos os dias por isso kkkk.
C’est une des plus belles déclarations d’amour de la pop-rock. Quatre musiciennes très talentueuses. Vive les Bangles!❤❤❤❤
J´suis tout à fait d'accord!
She sang it 100% record perfect.
Cause it is the record
@musclemangear8710 First of all, how dare you
@@musclemangear8710 lol...
These four women were an extraordinary talented group
The voices of the group in choir, in such a harmonious way, with the instruments in a simple way, with very beautiful lyrics and a good rhythm and the voice of the vocalist, it is together that makes the music fantastic and a symbol of the romantic music of the years 80. Thank you.
As vozes do grupo em coro, de forma tão harmônica, com os instrumentos de forma singela, com uma letra muito bonita e um bom ritmo e a voz da vocalista, é em conjunto de torna a música fantástica e um símbolo da música romântica dos anos 80. Lembranças do Brasil. Obrigado.
Wow - what a beautiful live vocal performance by all of them! I was very fortunate to see them live in 2000. Not their heyday, but they still sounded absolutely incredible!
Live? I'm sorry to burst your bubble here but you're hearing the studio version here.
Eine wunderschöne Frau, mit bezaubernden Augen , eine Ausstrahlung ❤❤ eine tolle Stimme.
