This was back when everyone I loved was still alive. My mom was still here. Now I am left all alone. I just sit around most days and wait to die. I hope I feel better some day.
No matter what some might say. John Waite is Legendary. His diversity,compassion, and dedication, says it all in the iconic tunes, and melodies that brought us the heart felt music for me and many others that will play in our hearts forever. Thank you again for the love you've shared in your music. Tommy Tombstone.
Actually, its filled with production 'tricks.' They're just tasteful & the avg listener doesn't notice. Theres a lot of production without it sounding like theres a lot of production. It was the same with Nirvana. 4 tracks of stacked guitars. You dont notice unless you know what youre listening for.
@@thetruthchannel349 Agreed. I hear layer upon layer of effects in this song. It more subtle than the average of the time but there's a ton of production here. Still a good song.
@@pinballshawn Everything is tracked & stacked really well. The work they did on his vocal was stellar. They probably have his vocal spread out of over 10 tracks triggering multiple compressors & delays on different phrases/words. Its a great recording.
@@elyseechristophe2718 different songs. MTV made a conscious decision to no longer promote this kind of music in favor of other music and back then there was no internet, so what MTV decided was popular was popular.
I respect John Waite's integrity as an artist, and I know he thought Bad English was corporate rock, but it would be great to see him play this kind of music again. He was such an awesome frontman and had the perfect voice for power ballads with big choruses.
These guys were awesome back in the late 80's! John Waite could really belt out some good vocals and the songs were definitely on my playlists when making out with the girlfriends. Thank you Bad English for all of the "mood setting."
Who would've thought that 3/4 's of this band were/are Journey alum?!. Neil,Jonathan and Deen still kept Journey going strong long after Bad English ended. No doubt one of the most talented "super groups"ever. Endless talent.
THIS band was far better than any Journey incarnation because Journey was simply a LAME act live. They got blown off the stage by opening acts like Ronnie Montrose and Van Halen 1978 tour and yes...even The Babys in 1980. And John is a far better "rock" singer than Perry.
I am a teacher of English as a foreign language. Proudly many of my students have chosen this kind of music over the modern one. All they needed was someone who showed them something else.
What in the hell are you talking about? They were never underrated at all. Everybody knows Bad English. They made it big in Europe, Australia, Japan and the US during the 90's
@@CL-sp2yv I wouldn't say Bad English was underrated, but I would say they underachieved. Their first album sold exceptionally well, propelled by two huge hits, "When I See You Smile" (which got to #1 on the Billboard chart) and "Price of Love" (which peaked at #5). Their second album didn't do so hot - "Straight to Your Heart" was the standout single from this album, but it didn't quite make the top 40. Then, as is not uncommon for supergroups, egos got in the way, and that was it for Bad English.
@@kimmyfriedman1055 it's sad because the band had such potential. In these days they should be happy they could still get together without attending a band members funeral. It won't happen, I get that. Too sad.
Love John Waite and here he had 2 people from Journey in his Bad English band!!!Love it and I love him .Hes such a great singer and gorgeous even now in 2015 he still sounds good
Tears in my eyes listening to this remembering my first impossible en forbidden love as an early teenageboy in Arnhem Netherlands. Deeeeply touched by this sound and the memories it brings...
I can feel my tears rolling down John's shoulder & back because of his love songs. I absolutely love John, not for his fame & wealth but for his heart.
This is what real music sounds like. The great bands with great songs like this are long gone sadly. I can always remember this timeless classic played on the radio. John Waite had a great voice with this awesome band "Bad English", and a great guitar player he had. I love the guitar riffs with that nice looking Gibson Les Paul guitar.
Best writing compilation on any rock record I've ever heard . And some bad ass sound to back them up . John and Jonathan have complete poetic justice .
John Waite ❤❤❤ Bad English ❤❤❤ The 80's and early 90's music ❤❤❤🎶🎶🎶 Makes me want to be young wild and free forever. Travelling the world. Being in love. Never grow old. ❤❤❤‼️‼️‼️
Im in Kansas, my girlfriend comes from the Netherlands and she made a CD for me, this being the first song on here. I fell in love with this song as I did with her.
This is where album rock, hair submitted to the grunge. I'm from Seattle and never caught on to Nirvana or any of the other types. I cling on to this of the last of the era. Bad English is wonderful and I appreciate this music forever.
Precisely. Grunge was rubbish in my opinion. Middle class angst about relatively comfortable lives in the suburbs. The suburbs may be boring to some but at least they offered relative security and let's face it, they are where anyone with half a chance is happy to retreat to once the money allows it in later life.
Driving my Royal Mail Truck down a large highway in London & this came on It literally blew me away & I went to HMV that Saturday & bought the Album I was already a fan of John because of "Isn't It Time" by "The Babys" [sic] Listen to THAT masterpiece I've just mentioned above - John at his finest In my view these two tracks ARE my personal favourites, by far Of course, everyone will recognise him for "I Ain't Missing You"
I wore both of these records out . on different tapes and CDS .. saw them on a flat bed in front of Capitol when they first came out. Journey with a GREAT VOCALIST .
just saw a commercial for American Idol on tv before getting on here and i couldn't tell the singers apart. They sound alike today, especially with autotune!
I haven't slept for three days.......this is insanity romance style......between the swans....the river.....the cemetery......my friend who use to ride a blue motorcycle..
Diritto al cuore del mio idolo. Penso che la traduzione giusta sia questa. Diritto al cuore di John dicendogli che lo Amerò eternamente 💏💑👪👄👄💋💋💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
And I dont wanna fight again I dont give a damn anymore Right or wrong youre gonna let me in Straight to your heart Cause this times real and real lasts forever I know where you are Cause you know Ive been there before. . . great song ♥♥
The 21st century is sadly lacking this awesomeness! Who else agrees?
Fuckin 100% , feel sorry for the kids of today , 80s/early90s great music , great times 👌😎👌
@@christopherwonnacottnumber1 agreed chris
Yep. This is emotion. Sadly lacking in humanity now
Me... for shure
Always liked John Waite.
This music takes me back to some of the best years of my life.
Me too ❤❤❤
Michael totally agree...I'm 44. But the mine too!!... The best time of my life!!
Me too.
This was back when everyone I loved was still alive. My mom was still here. Now I am left all alone. I just sit around most days and wait to die. I hope I feel better some day.
Me too dude.
My childhood was wonderfull, i growed up with the best music ever.

why what would others say? like mean things?
He is also a lovely person in real life.
I totally agree.🤟♥️💯💯💯💯
YES! John Waite is one of the greatest rock vocalists period! So underrated.
I did not miss what you did there at all.
Straight up, no frills, no slick production tricks…this is what hard rock should have sounded like in the early nineties.
How about message in a bottle by the police. Listen to the guitar. 1979

Agree...Best Bad English song...
But in 91 there were GNR, Nirvana, METALICA.....etc, too many good songs

One of the best band of the planet BAD ENGLISH!
journey ;)
You guys should check out "Walk in The fire" and "Native Sons" by Strangeways. Great Melodic Rock albums.
He has one of the greatest voices in all of music
He's in my top 5 all-time favourite singers. Never tire of his voice.
This is my all time favorite Bad English song. I love the hell out of this song.
Awesome Band !!
These guys were awesome back in the late 80's! John Waite could really belt out some good vocals and the songs were definitely on my playlists when making out with the girlfriends. Thank you Bad English for all of the "mood setting."
I saw Bad English in a small club in Connecticut called Toad's Place. I think in 1989. They were amazing!
Loved the East coast!!!
Awesome
Wish I was there..🎸
Toads place I live walking distance from it on York st New Haven.
LUCKY!

Such a Underrated song, can't believe it didn't get to No1 on the Charts back in the Day!
Folks....this is what talent looks like....and American Idol, X Factor, and all the crap talent shows can't hold a candle to this
John Waite many many years of great music what a talent he is !!
I am a teacher of English as a foreign language. Proudly many of my students have chosen this kind of music over the modern one. All they needed was someone who showed them something else.
This is such a great song. Criminally underrated.
I love this song so MUCH of BAD ENGLISH straight to your Heart!
@JohnWaite. Thank you so MUCH for answer my idol JOHN
John Waite is the best singer.I love his songs and the way he moves.Love his hair!
I saw john in evanstone il in 2016 may 5 have the dame hair I love it
John Waite and Bad English is pure talent
One of my fav's when it came out and all these years later is STILL one
of my all time favorites. THIS IS GREAT MUSIC!!!
Love this..John Waites vocals.....love them and Bad English as a band are so underrated!x

The Second Coming record was loaded with potential monster hits. Unfortunately Cain, and Waite couldn't get along.
"I watch you dance, I watch you drift away," fucking great lyrics :)
80s superband
One of the last true "super groups"...they didn't disappoint with tunes like this one!!
John Waite is such a great vocalist
Yes he is, and DAMN youre sexy! lol
Yes and he is also so bitter with the band he refuses a reunion.
not forgetting neil schon too!!
@@peevee605 he has good reason. It's because of Jonathan Cain.

Love John Waite and here he had 2 people from Journey in his Bad English band!!!Love it and I love him .Hes such a great singer and gorgeous even now in 2015 he still sounds good
***** yes I know , cause I loved Journey when Steve Perry was the lead singer.
Not just two,plus deen castronovo now playing for journey
+Bunny Towne More a case of John Waite singing for Journey, when you think about it...
So is still listening to this Awesome band in 2019! They must make a comeback!
Ain't gonna happen. Waite is more bitter than a 30 year old G&T.
Excelente banda ótima música perfeita saudade desse tempo que não volta mais saudades
One of the best outro solo ever
Very energetic i beautiful song!!!-thank you very much !!!

So great
I can feel my tears rolling down John's shoulder & back because of his love songs. I absolutely love John, not for his fame & wealth but for his heart.
He rocks. Love the remakes in country with him in it.
?? Down his shoulder and back.
nice
BAD ENGLISH.....Amazimg
The arch of his back, hands & spins & bends is hypnotic. He is as fluid as his music.
Actually I've always seen John as a little "stiff" as a front man, but incomparable voice.
great song

The 80's and early 90's music ❤❤❤🎶🎶🎶
Makes me want to be young wild and free forever. Travelling the world. Being in love. Never grow old.
❤❤❤‼️‼️‼️
a distanza di quasi 30 anni,musica al top e sempre attuale...incredibile! this music was made 30 years ago..and still actual and amazing!
Im in Kansas, my girlfriend comes from the Netherlands and she made a CD for me, this being the first song on here. I fell in love with this song as I did with her.
One of the best AOR bands.
Survivor, Journey, Foreigner, Loverboy, Alias, Bad English, Toto ... etc.
I love this song. Why are all the great bands gone?
because they also grow old as all of us...
Gran tema!! Llega al al alma, de mis favoritos!
Most of the 90s bands are faded into obscurity and forgotten. They still cut records but they are done making hits.
Awesome band✨
This is where album rock, hair submitted to the grunge. I'm from Seattle and never caught on to Nirvana or any of the other types. I cling on to this of the last of the era. Bad English is wonderful and I appreciate this music forever.

The suburbs may be boring to some but at least they offered relative security and let's face it, they are where anyone with half a chance is happy to retreat to once the money allows it in later life.
one of the most fantastic song ever written.
Great song.
Driving my Royal Mail Truck down a large highway in London & this came on
It literally blew me away & I went to HMV that Saturday & bought the Album
I was already a fan of John because of "Isn't It Time" by "The Babys" [sic]
Listen to THAT masterpiece I've just mentioned above - John at his finest
In my view these two tracks ARE my personal favourites, by far
Of course, everyone will recognise him for "I Ain't Missing You"
Incredible band, it's time for a third album
I've heard that they'd started working on a third album. I'm not sure if it ever got past the demo phase.
I love that song and John sings it so
Beautifully of course!
I wore both of these records out . on different tapes and CDS .. saw them on a flat bed in front of Capitol when they first came out. Journey with a GREAT VOCALIST .
My favorite Bad English song 🎵 🥁🎸🎤✨️
Without a doubt, the 80's rocked! Yes I am from that era but, DAMN!! this shit is the best!! Where is this kind of music now!!!
Espectacular tema y video musical ❤️
I just love the song "Straight To Your Heart" By Bad English 💓💋
It is a good song.
Música excelente , com ótimo arranjo e que traz felicidades ao ouvir , simplesmente rock dos anos 80 e 90 !!!
All Bad English band's songs should hit the top 1 like for real! Soooo beautiful!😭🤟♥️
That intro is one of the best guitar riffs ever
I remember these guys being My next Def Leppard phase as well as Def Leppard!!!
Back in 2011-2013, they were My best days as a teenager!
1000X better than Def Leppard.
Excellent vocalist songwriter.....without a doubt excellent captivating mesmerizing man
just saw a commercial for American Idol on tv before getting on here and i couldn't tell the singers apart. They sound alike today, especially with autotune!
Aí que lindo demais amo muito muito muito.... Essa banda🖤💋
Jon Waite rocks in this vid, and still after all these years, classy tune
Muy pero que muy buena esta canción, no me canso de escucharlaaaaa!! 😊😊😊

I haven't slept for three days.......this is insanity romance style......between the swans....the river.....the cemetery......my friend who use to ride a blue motorcycle..
Excelente banda ótima música perfeita saudades dessa época que não volta mais
The Babys,Bad English are all we need...Let Journey be.

Love all the songs by John Waite

No me canso de escuchar esta Canción Excelente
Alimento para el alma compadre.. que buena musica
Don't need all of that but for John's joie d'vive & sincereity.
Wow! Very straight to our hearts...

Too bad egos couldn't contain this band. So much potential!
I just love his songs throughout the years with The Baby’s, Bad English and as an solo artist!
Great music never die,s always in my heart straight in it😎🎯🤟🎸
