He's the brother of Neneh Cherry - If you know her (or was it half brother?) Both children of Jazz musician Don Cherry. Neneh Cherry was well known for her hit songs "The Buffalo Stance" and "Manchild". She was born in Sweden.
hmm.. i did know that Egle-eye was from Sweden, but i didn´t have a clue Neneh was.... buffalo stance is the ultimate immature teen girl song. here fake inner city US persona is really quite convincing. I guess, she is not alone in that.
@@TheRetroManRandySavage this is a very typical accent for people from Sweden that are actually good at speaking English. The thing is. For swedish people that is fairly decent English speaker you would never know they are not native to it. I'm not even that good, and people just keep asking me.whst part of Ireland I'm from.. no sorry.. I from a other potatoe contry
Swedish person here 🙋 This song is very nostalgic for me because it was on my very first CD, which was a compilation album that my granddad gave on christmas '97 when I was just 4 years old. Still love it as an adult, and I don't think I've ever been to a party where it hasn't been played at least once. Also, fun fact: His parents were American trumpet player Don Cherry and Swedish artist and designer Moki Cherry, and Don named him Eagle-Eye because he apparently gave his dad a one-eyed look right after he was born
Eagle-eyed cherry is a gem of an artist the song is about someone who has to go or someone who's gonna die the next day and saying cherish every day. life is short "save tonight" make tonight last with his loved ones
@ScotsmanDougal not necessarily that's why the video shows someone getting robbed someone getting hit by a car someone getting arrested by ppl etc it's about cherishing the moments because u might not be there tomorrow. the reason ur not there is not important
1998 if I remember right , brilliant track , think his other big ish hit was “falling in love again” . Both Really nice tracks , camp fire music I call it
A great song. Check out 7 Seconds by his sister Neneh Cherry and Youssou N'Dour, its also rather good. (it will hit you because you have bubs on the way)
Loove this song, think song has another meaning but the video made it several meanings, it's your interpretation . His voice was is so good and I wish he had more being recognised like this one. Truelly good musician. Hugs from Sweden.
Ja handlar om att ta vara på sin tid med sin partner, eller aldrig vill kvällen ska ta slut Kommer ihåg han sa ju kändare han blev, mer turnerande desto verkligare o jobbigare blev låten.
This video was recorded close to where I used to live. I remember walking by when they made this video and seeing the robber getting "hit" by the car. It was filmed in Södermalm in Stockholm but they made a pretty good effort of making it look like New York i think.
The song : Save Tonight” is about spending as much time with one’s partner as possible, or in a wider context - not wanting tomorrow to come or something to end Go on and close The curtains (These are probably words of a man, who was to leave his girlfriend soon. He tells her to close the cafe or shop where she’s working and go with him one last time, to make their last moments unforgettable.) ’Cuz all we need Is candlelight You and me And a bottle of wine Gonna hold you tonight (He pictures how he imagines their last moments to be - peaceful, together and with a bottle of wine. It’s very simple way of dating or spending time together, but probably one of the best, which enables the lovers to get close to each other. He also underlines that he does not need much, everything he cares about is she.) Well, we know I’m going away And how I wish I wish it weren’t so So, take this wine And drink with me Let’s delay our misery (They both know that he needs to leave soon, but we are not given the particular reason of that. Everything they care in this moment is spending the last night together, enjoying every minute. He does not want to think about terrible life without her, so the lovers want to remember this night forever.)
I wish there were more black rock musicians. Not that race has anything really to do with it, but culture. A different perspective, even if purely in an artistic manner. I like his voice and musicianship.
@@davidjames4980 Since there are billions of people on this planet than that's not really alot. Really think there is a cultural difference for some reason. Immigrants in mostly white europe aren't playin rock either. i guess family tradition and closer friendships outweighs influence from more obscure surroundings.
Brilliant song. I was in an Irish bar in Monchengladbach, Germany in about 1998 and a Grunge band did an amazing cover of this. The cover was far better than the original.
Haha ok you did the brother aswell One of many many swedish artist. People dumt know one of 2pacs closest friends, producers, write lyrics was swedish.... Maybee the biggest producers in history is swedish. We are the biggest music producing country in the world /population But neneh whole family is musicns Eagle eye (brother), tityo (Sister), ahmadu jah (Mother) don cherry Haha remember when i lived in US first time. Roxette where huge in US Also ace of Base - all that she wants Played alot moore in US than sweden. Most played single in US. But Abba, Roxette, Avicci, Robyn, Zara larsson, The cardigans etc most People know Strange we pretty small. That and hollywood actors, actress there is alot.
You guys are reading too much into the video. It’s a simple song about having to leave your loved one and wanting to savour that last night together. Video is pretty cool but it’s always bothered me that it ends just before the best part of the guitar solo

Wrong! The songs about spending the last night with his girl before he has to leave the next day to go on tour, let's savor tonight, with wine a log fire & a night of sex

7 Seconds by Neneh Cherry and Youssou N'Dour is a beautiful song
@@matsv201 I think she moved to America as a young child. She must've spent a decade there before moving to England at age 14.
I had the biggest crush on her. Man, she was stunningly beautiful.

One of the best 90s one hit wonders
Swedish person here 🙋 This song is very nostalgic for me because it was on my very first CD, which was a compilation album that my granddad gave on christmas '97 when I was just 4 years old. Still love it as an adult, and I don't think I've ever been to a party where it hasn't been played at least once.

My fav song of all time. Lyrics, rhythm and beats are all just right.
Eagle-eyed cherry is a gem of an artist
the song is about someone who has to go or someone who's gonna die the next day and saying cherish every day. life is short
"save tonight" make tonight last with his loved ones
It's about someone who is going away the next day
@ScotsmanDougal not necessarily that's why the video shows someone getting robbed someone getting hit by a car someone getting arrested by ppl etc it's about cherishing the moments because u might not be there tomorrow. the reason ur not there is not important
is he swedish or do i remember wrong?
@Mikael Backlund yes he's Swedish but of native American and African American ethnicity
and his dad died 2 years before the song so i think its influents it
You are overthinking this. It's a pretty simple song about a guy leaving the next morning, so he wants to make the night special for him and his SO
1998 if I remember right , brilliant track , think his other big ish hit was “falling in love again” . Both Really nice tracks , camp fire music I call it
His song "Shooting Up in Vain (T-Ray remix)" from the GO Soundtrack is another good one.
A great song.
Check out 7 Seconds by his sister Neneh Cherry and Youssou N'Dour, its also rather good. (it will hit you because you have bubs on the way)
One more hit from Sweden 🇸🇪 so many good artists from there
This song is one I found and starting strumming it on the guitar and I've playing it now for more than a decade.
His sister is Nena Cherry....she did a great duet with The The ....Slow train to Dawn.
he and neneh cherry are from Sweden, back then this song was the absolut coolest song
one hit wonder of the 90s
Big hit in Europe, two respectable LPs...

Fun-fact: Eagle-eye was classmate with Jennifer Aniston in theater school
This was shot where i lived Skånegatan,Stockholm😊
Aww my youth in Sweden in the 90:s
This video was recorded close to where I used to live. I remember walking by when they made this video and seeing the robber getting "hit" by the car. It was filmed in Södermalm in Stockholm but they made a pretty good effort of making it look like New York i think.
Ooh, I love this song ❤️ Might be because I am a bit older and swedish 😅
I love this too. I'm also older but Finnish 😄
Save today's memory, because it's gone tomorrow.
Neneh Cherry's brother. She did 'Seven Seconds' and 'Manchild'
Neneh Cherry's brother. Absolutely love this song.
The song :
Save Tonight” is about spending as much time with one’s partner as possible, or in a wider context - not wanting tomorrow to come or something to end
Go on and close
The curtains
(These are probably words of a man, who was to leave his girlfriend soon. He tells her to close the cafe or shop where she’s working and go with him one last time, to make their last moments unforgettable.)
’Cuz all we need
Is candlelight
You and me
And a bottle of wine
Gonna hold you tonight
(He pictures how he imagines their last moments to be - peaceful, together and with a bottle of wine. It’s very simple way of dating or spending time together, but probably one of the best, which enables the lovers to get close to each other. He also underlines that he does not need much, everything he cares about is she.)
Well, we know
I’m going away
And how I wish
I wish it weren’t so
So, take this wine
And drink with me
Let’s delay our misery
(They both know that he needs to leave soon, but we are not given the particular reason of that. Everything they care in this moment is spending the last night together, enjoying every minute. He does not want to think about terrible life without her, so the lovers want to remember this night forever.)
I live very close to him.
This was played in Sweden all the time
I wish there were more black rock musicians. Not that race has anything really to do with it, but culture. A different perspective, even if purely in an artistic manner. I like his voice and musicianship.
There’s 100s and 100a
Black metal ;)

One of many many swedish artist.

This one takes me back!
Check out Keith Richards - Hate it When you Leave
Amazing song
You guys are reading too much into the video. It’s a simple song about having to leave your loved one and wanting to savour that last night together. Video is pretty cool but it’s always bothered me that it ends just before the best part of the guitar solo
First comment. Classy
If you want to react to something completely original, watch ‘Hi Ren’.
It’s really an amazing work of art
Hi...please react to this song from Stromae called Santé...greetings from Dominican Republic and stay well...i love your reactions!!
He 'stole' the chords from the song DE MUSICA LIGERA, from SODA STEREO. The biggest Argentina's and spanish speaking band.
Neneh's brother I think
Just a rough guess that artists write songs with no thought if what the video will be like, usually from what I have read they are just as confused as you are Brad. Unless you are a Bowie who had the chance to influence his own videos.
Why does bro overthink the shit out of every song 😅
I think you guys need to listen to the songs not watch the videos. They distract you too much.
Forget the video while trying to work out the meaning of the song guys…
Wrong! The songs about spending the last night with his girl before he has to leave the next day to go on tour, let's savor tonight, with wine a log fire & a night of sex
Eagle eye cherry- you still having fun
