The idea for the song came to Reid (Mike Reid the songwriter) while reading an article about a man arrested for getting drunk and shooting at his girlfriend's car. The judge asked him if he had learned anything, to which he replied, "I learned, Your Honor, that you can't make a woman love you if she don't." Raitt (Bonnie Raitt who 1st recorded it) recorded the vocal in just one take in the studio, later saying that it was so sad a song that she could not recapture the emotion: "We'd try to do it again and I just said, 'You know, this ain't going to happen.'"
Yes, Teddy's voice is amazing... as is Bonnie Raitt's in the original! But what about the lyrics!? "I can't make you love me if you don't... You can't make your heart feel something it won't." and "I'll close my eyes, then I won't see the love that you don't feel when you're holding me." When you can make so few words hit so hard... that's talent!😢💔❤️🙏🤲 to Mike Reid.
As great of a singer as he is and as well as he covers the song, Bonnie's original is beyond stunning. I have no idea how many people have cried over her song. The message is very relatable to so many people.
That mesmerized feeling you got when you first listened to this song...is exactly how I felt for a solid 5 playthroughs of this song. Then it went on repeat for DAYS. This guys' voice is just...what a time to be alive.
Teddy has so many fantastic songs, both original and covers. You really can’t go wrong with any of his music. This was a fantastic reaction to such a talented singer
Hi Biss. Saw the video saying you'll be taking a break. You're the first person I've ever followed. Love the journey and can't tell you how many bands I've discovered and rediscovered with you. See you when you get back. Much Love❤❤❤❤
Haven't heard this in a long time. Reminds me of an other song I have not heard in a long time. John Moreland "You Don't Care for Me Enough to Cry" Really interesting song to. Well worth a listen. Both are amazing singers.
Singing from the soul, well put. And coming from knowing the original..his voice just adds so much more to the lyrics and meaning behind them. Or maybe I'm just getting more sentimental in my old age
His real name is Jaten Dimsdale... Teddy Swims comes from... you guessed it!... people calling him a teddy bear! And S.W.I.M.S. is an acronym for Someone Who Isn't Me Sometimes ❤
Always loved this song Bisscute... Bonnie Raitt's version, but Teddy owned it! And also love your heartfelt reaction!❤ Made me think of Roy Orbison's song Crying. I highly recommend you react to that. You won't regret it!.🙏😊 Thanks!
Such a beautiful song, cover and reaction. I would recommend his cover of "Use Somebody" by Kings of Leon. The rasp, the soul, the emotion...Biss that one will blow you away even more!
Teddy is exactly what his name suggests. A giant Teddy Bear, and you would never know by looking at him. He has a gift and he is sharing it for the world.
With all due respect to Teddy Swims, Bonnie Raitt's original remains unsurpassed. Because it's not just about the vocals, it's about the whole production, the all round stellar musicianship, and not the least Bruce Hornsby's exquisite piano playing.
Very Nice!! I'm guessing if you don't know the original then you haven't yet listened to Bonnie Raitt. She has a voice that stops you in your tracks no matter what genre of music 🎼🎶 you like. You should introduce yourself with this song or ANGEL FROM MONTGOMERY!! Great Job Biss!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
Bonnie Raitt does the original.. in 1991. Try and find a LIVE performance of it.. She often had the fabulous Bruce Hornsby on Piano.,... he is also an amazing singer an pianist... with several big hits.
It’s from her live album CD/DVD “Road Tested” recorded in 1995 taken from a series of concerts in Portland OR & Oakland CA. And yes, it’s truly a wonderful version exceeding her studio version. To be fair, Adele also did a pretty decent cover.
Unrequited love is one of the most intense and devastating emotions a person can experience. Been there many times. This song is like the national anthem of unrequited love.
Again, Miss Bissie, You are so perfect in reaching etc... Thank YOU! On this Teddy Swims, reaction, I've heard him on Radio somewhere & thanks to you, know I also have "Widen my horizon"! 🙂 I'am sure your Channel Members & others. (like myself), wish you a gr8 hiatus & a well deserved one! Stay safe out there & remember... Welcome "back" anytime!!!🤗 🤘
@@dannyrhollingsworth4200 your right i could swear it was Prince maybe i just got mixed up with Nothing Compares to You. i know he wrote that. lol i was so confident with my comment.
Teddy's voice has changed a lot more. It's a lot more "raw". You should check out his newer songs like Hammer to the heart, Apple Juice, The Door and Lose Control.
Teddy Swims is a rare talent - such range and vocal power in that round funny looking man. The original version of this song is by Bonnie Raitt - I LOVE ME SOME BONNIE - you have to dive into her music. Stat with her Grammy winning album "Nick of Time" - NOT a bad track on that album! Please please please do some reaction videos to Bonnie Raitt.
Don't get me wrong, Teddy's version is fantastic. But there is nothing like the original with Bonnie Rait. Her live performance of it at the Grammys is magical, plus Bruce Hornsby playing piano for it. OMG.
Here is another song with a similar message, although the artist said she wrote the song about her father leaving her and her mother for another woman. Beth Hart live featuring Jeff Beck on guitar - You Belong To Me:
Very nice song. So sweet. If you want to see a song with chorus, listen to "Eternal Flame", sung by The Bangles. It's a bit sad but so nice to hear for our ears. Congratulations on the quality of your channel, from France.
Hello, I recommend that you react to oasis songs.😀 . Champagne supernova . Wonderwall . Don't look back in anger . Stand by me . Stop crying your heart out . Don't go away
Not sure if you take suggestions from the comments but if you do you should give the song "Crow by Upiko" a chance. It's completely unrelated but i know you enjoy Ado and while Upiko doesn't sound like her for some reason i get a similar emotional vibe from her songs.
I love the original by Bonnie Raitt; probably my favorite song of hers. I consider this tune to have a tired and resigned feeling. In this scenario, you just realize there’s nothing you can do. I’ve been through it before, and there isn’t. Which feels as sad as this song sounds.
I see a lot of people suggesting you check out the original by Bonnie Raitt so I'll do something different. Check Teddy's original songs, he is an amazing cover artist but when singing his own songs he is out of this world. He released an album last year and to this day I still listen to it at least once a month.
I have the original Bonnie Raitt version of this song on my playlist. Her version is my favorite, but Teddy sings it beautifully as well. Here is Bonnie Raitt's official video version: ruclips.net/video/nW9Cu6GYqxo/видео.htmlsi=F5SX0Kj3bGzy69tA
Just cant believe a white singer is gifted whith THAT flattering creamy voice! If i didnt see him, i would have sworn its a black guy, wtf... ty Bisscute, i rly like this
Now he is famous. This was before he blew up. Incredible voice and skill.

Mike Reid who played in the NFL for five seasons as a defensive tackle for the Cincinatti Bengals? Yes, that Mike Reid.
Yes, Teddy's voice is amazing... as is Bonnie Raitt's in the original! But what about the lyrics!? "I can't make you love me if you don't...

This song, these lyrics, & his voice just penetrates the heart and the soul.
4:59 unrequited is the word you’re looking for.
Great choice and great reaction Miss Bisscute thanks for this one. I Will miss you so much hope to see you again soon.
Hi Biss. Saw the video saying you'll be taking a break. You're the first person I've ever followed. Love the journey and can't tell you how many bands I've discovered and rediscovered with you. See you when you get back. Much Love❤❤❤❤
Yes Biss you need to listen to the Original by Bonnie Raitt, she is a bad ass blues slide guitar player and singer!
Haven't heard this in a long time.
Reminds me of an other song I have not heard in a long time.
John Moreland "You Don't Care for Me Enough to Cry" Really interesting song to. Well worth a listen.
Both are amazing singers.

A new artist for me too, Biss, very nice. Truely a talented voice. Good pick for the end of the week 👍
Unrequited😂😂😂..... We all knew what you meant. And it was the perfect word for that situation.😊
His real name is Jaten Dimsdale... Teddy Swims comes from... you guessed it!... people calling him a teddy bear! And S.W.I.M.S. is an acronym for Someone Who Isn't Me Sometimes ❤
Such a painfully beautiful song of unrequited love. I never heard this version, thanks for sharing this with us here.
Always loved this song Bisscute... Bonnie Raitt's version, but Teddy owned it! And also love your heartfelt reaction!❤
Made me think of Roy Orbison's song Crying. I highly recommend you react to that. You won't regret it!.🙏😊 Thanks!
LOVE YOUR REACTION BISS!!! AND LOVE THIS COVER!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Such a beautiful song, cover and reaction. I would recommend his cover of "Use Somebody" by Kings of Leon. The rasp, the soul, the emotion...Biss that one will blow you away even more!
Yah, the Teddy bear , is the real deal. Great reaction , best of luck from Texas !
Teddy is exactly what his name suggests. A giant Teddy Bear, and you would never know by looking at him. He has a gift and he is sharing it for the world.
BONNIE RAITT DOES THE ORIGINAL I LOVE TEDDY
The closed captions made me laugh. Teddy sings this great but Bonnie Raitt is a must listen.
Wow, what an amazing cover! Thank you for the reaction
❤️ always. Wishing you solace and breath. Just enjoy what’s around you.
You relax and have a good rest. Remember, we love you little sister ❤️ You take care of you.
With all due respect to Teddy Swims, Bonnie Raitt's original remains unsurpassed. Because it's not just about the vocals, it's about the whole production, the all round stellar musicianship, and not the least Bruce Hornsby's exquisite piano playing.

Check out the original singer
Bonnie Raitt
Best reactor on YT by miles. 🫶
Go ahead, Bisscute. Let the tears fly
You should watch with Bonnie Raitt version with Bruce Hornsby on Piano. i think it was an awards show . in any case its live and amazing
It’s from her live album CD/DVD “Road Tested” recorded in 1995 taken from a series of concerts in Portland OR & Oakland CA. And yes, it’s truly a wonderful version exceeding her studio version. To be fair, Adele also did a pretty decent cover.
Visceral reaction - so good. My parents loved this son (the original). Dude does it justice!
Unrequited love is one of the most intense and devastating emotions a person can experience. Been there many times. This song is like the national anthem of unrequited love.
George Michael also sung a cover of this song. Beautifully done by him as well.
We gonna miss you ❤Take care, Bisscute!!!
My eyes were sweating the first time i heard Teddy's version of this song.
Mucho feeling , muy lindo. Abrazo
he has an original called burn the bed which is another emotional love song that is excellent.
This is a great cover, but my favorite is Bon Iver.
Definitely listen to the cover. Bonnie is fantastic.
Checkout “ lose Control “ to get an idea of Teddy’s range and its more recent.
Again, Miss Bissie, You are so perfect in reaching etc...
Thank YOU! On this Teddy Swims, reaction, I've heard him on Radio somewhere & thanks to you, know I also have "Widen my horizon"! 🙂
I'am sure your Channel Members & others. (like myself), wish you a gr8 hiatus & a well deserved one!
Stay safe out there & remember...
Welcome "back" anytime!!!🤗 🤘
He keeps right in step with Bonnie's version. Both are great, you get the perspective from both a man and a woman.
Unreciprocated was a very accurate word you were probably looking for
I think this song applies to every woman, at one time or another in their lives….you included.
This guy's talented.
This song was written by Prince and sung beautifully by Bonnie Raitt and Prince also has a great version.
Written by Mike Reid
Cincinnati Bengals player in the 1970 Era played 5 years then retired for song writing

I would like to see your reaction to the Polish song from Eurovision 2022 Krystian Ochman "River". I think it will give you a lot of emotions. :)
