      I was at Seal's concert one month ago for the very first time in my life. I was so shocked because his voice is so much more beautiful and clear irl that I started crying because of how moved I was. I was also overwhelmed because the subway was trying to do everything it could to stop me from going to the concert and I had to run for so long in heels and still arrived 45 minutes late but I arrived right when Seal was going on stage. I was so relieved, you can't imagine. 😅

    Batman Forever came out in 1995, I was 6, and I was super into Batman, U2 and Seal. The U2 song was Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me. For the 6 year old me, this movie was AWESOME. Especially the end credits, and the Batman/Kiss From a Rose music video. I just re watched the end credits on RUclips and man, does it give me so many nostalgic feelings. I remember my brother and I both sporting Batman T-Shirts, we wore them everywhere.
    Also, Seal's voice is still so so good all these years later, and he seems like such a sweet genuine man!

Like Victorians imagining themselves in the court of Elizabeth I.

    A few key points:
    1. While Seal is explaining the songs elements (the style, arrangement, time signature, etc) you can see his passion about it. This makes me realize as an artist you are all in and it’s beautiful.
    2. Some songs are made for one purpose and that song fit the tone of the movie so perfectly that it’s undeniable. The movie wouldn’t have done as well without the video and the song wouldn’t have done as well without the song. I remember people only went to see the movie because the video and song made it look epic.

    He makes a great point. You can’t do music that others can feel without giving some of yourself to it. It becomes popular because people can feel your passion in it. Kiss From A Rose is a perfect illustration of that. Seal is a special artist in so many ways. Trevor Horn again proved his sight beyond sight by giving him total resources to express his music.

    I havent seen one comment about Seals guitar playing. Hes clearly left handed playing a regular guitar flipped, while using chords. Imagine learning guitar basically upside down. Then to play it while singing with a voice like that?! Some talent is so insanely rare. 3:50

      @@ghostraven3749 maybe not as rare as I had thought. I did know about a few of those guys. Toni Iomi has like half a finger doesn't he, or am I thinking of someone else? Yet I still find it impressive. I'm right handed and I've been noodling for 20+ years. Not great by no means. But knowledgeable enough to be impressed by the extra effort that would go into this. I'm not even good enough to sing while playing. I guess it would be easier to learn upside down than to find and buy left handed guitars tho. I just can't imagine learning chords and everything else all backwards. Kudos to you sir.

    i think the song "crazy" he did was an anthem for the 90s. Kiss from a rose is still one of the most timeless and greatest songs ever made. I loved this song so much as a kid. Its criminal that Seal wasnt more popular. Dude is easily one of the greatest voices from the 90s, and of all time.

  • @SM-bm6jo
    @SM-bm6jo 3 месяца назад +4

    It is good to hear him singing so well after all these years. I'd say that the song clicked for me because it contains so many "Sealisms." It is his voice and the way it is presented. He has a very interesting and appealing singing voice. That "bay-baya!" is an example. That grabs my attention. He also does this sort of cut left/right/left /right with his vocals. In the song there is a sort of spilling out of tones that trickle down the scale in perfect pitch like a gentle stream and he did not use Autotune. The harmonies are pitch perfect. There is much much more to enjoy than the melody, there's more than one melody. It has elements that would not be expected to work as a whole but somehow do. He could have taken parts and made several different songs out of this one.

It sounded so much better musically/ harmonically than what was on the radio at the time. I think I may have pulled my car over to finish listening to it. It IS that good. Doesn’t matter how good a guitar player you are Seal, you are a GREAT MUSICIAN! You can’t say that about all singers. Also, killer job on this Mason! I would have been too nervous and would have hit a clam somewhere along the way. Well done by both of you!
