I first heard this song when I was almost fifteen and it blew me away! I had to investigate REO's music and it made me a fan for life! Gary Richrath is my absolute favorite guitarist and even when I discovered metal that did not change! He deserves so much more credit!!! RIP, Gary, you are not forgotten!!!🎸
After all these years, when I listen to this song, I STILL remember how happy we were in the 1980´s.... tears in my eyes remembering just good songs made at that age... I miss the 1980´s...
bobo semlimit Back in those years, our family didn't have anything (material-wise) but we have everything (emotionally-wise) and we were so happy...why is it like that for most of us? 🙁
It does not get any better than this. I was born in '84 and I swear I should have been born in '64 instead. The 80's was the best decade of music in my opinion. Love seeing the interaction with the guys before and after the song too. Great video for a great song
there were definately some greats, but its worth pointing out alot of the great artists from 80s were making songs in some cases from early 60s or before, today you have artists cropping up that dont know crap except for a song that someone wrote for them. Not to insult todays music there are some good artists out there. But this is something people dont think of when they make the usual old music was better than now statement. Also, there was plenty, plenty of shitty music in the 80s too.
Funny story... I met my wife about 13-14 years ago. We became friends but annoyed the daylights out of eachother but always had and interest, the time was just never right. We lost touch for a couple years but reconnected a little over 4 years ago and started dating. Now we've been married nearly a year. She had 2 kids going in, I had 1, and we have our youngest together. Crazy how things work!
I am part of the younger generation but I really appreciate music from the 80's the composition, vocals and everything. Music nowadays is nothing compared to the 80's. Beautiful music
Positively one of the greatest songs ever composed in the history of mankind. Every time I listen to this song or even hear it.. the song simply stop me in my tracks..
What amazes me is that I find everything perfect in this song. Lyrics, voice, instruments, the guitar play in the middle, the starting and of course that marvelous ending. EVERYTHING ! Thanks REO for having made this song !
This song has stood the test of time! A timeless ballad is what it is! I was 7 or 8 when this song came out, but I'm sure people were falling in love with each other on this song back then! Love it!
+bombshell42701 we just lost Gary Richrath...these guys were such a part of my youth. I used to sing this song so much I got yelled at...lol. I wasn' old enough to care then but it's ok...was worth it. I still love singing it as loud as I can.
I was 12 when this song was on... I remenber listening to Casey Kasem's American Top 40 and actually WAITING beside the radio to RECORD the song!!! Still have the tape today with Casey presenting it !!! At 15 I sent my girlfriend this tape by MAIL... 25 years and 3 awesome kids later we are still in love like the first day and we listen to the same tape at our wedding anniversary EVERY YEAR!!!
I saw this on Mtv back around Christmas 1984. They showed REO in the studio putting "Wheels are Turning" album together,and REO played this song on the special. The show lasted about an hour. Man that was a long time ago. Back when Gary and Allen were still with the band.
Cada ves que escucho esta canción se me vienen memorias de recuerdos pasados es imposible que no se me ruede mas de una lagrima, sin duda alguna los 80s canciones que nunca pasan de moda y viven en nuestros corazones
As a 22 year old in this generation I couldn't agree more that we have lost the love in the music and in everyday life! This song perfectly describes how I feel about someone I have known for a long time. Infact a good handfull of their songs do just the same as do over 120 other songs from this time! I wish my generation would wake up and see that without the love we will never get far with anything!
You can really tell that these guys are playing their music for fun, and not for money or so-called "fame." It's a wonderful time when you can see the smiles on the musician's faces.
@Coen Merriman yes, Kevin Cronin said in an interview that they didn't like the other video at all! The band thought it was cheesy so they insisted on both. With MTV videos were a big deal in 1985.
Así como tu comentario hay muchísimos jóvenes nacidos fines 80s en los 90s y en este siglo que desean haber vivido la época en que estas canciones estuvieron de moda en todo el mundo. Privilegiados nosotros que la vivimos y ahora en nuestros 40's o 50's la gran mayoría extrañamos y añoramos nuestra juventud de aquella época en que los tesoros musicales de esos años hoy en día se han vuelto leyenda para futuras generaciones. La vida era muy distinta y la inspiración de los compositores era única y se inspiraron en componer canciones como esta y cientos de otros temas en esa dichosa época del rock de los 80's La sienten, la viven, la lloran, le dan vida eterna para nosotros y comparten el amor impregnadas en las letras de esas canciones que vivimos en carne y hueso hasta llegar a nuestros corazones para que queden grabadas en nuestra memoria. Mi consejo es que disfrutes la letra y música a tal grado de ser el protagonista de ella y te sentirás con una emoción como nunca antes te hubieras sentido.
@@coleccionizta no pudiste haber descrito de una mejor manera esta época. Me encantó tu comentario. Somos privilegiados en haber disfrutado esta música. Todas las canciones son hermosas!
@@blanquiruales3940 Gracias por tu comentario. Escuchando esta cancion te estoy respondiendo como lo haria siempre, No pudiendo combatir con este sentimiento que vive en mi cada vez que escucho temas como este. Bello y esperanzador.
I love how he runs in with his coffee and starts playing drums, it's just so natural, you can imagine what it's like to be in a band, a really great job that you love doing. Damn I wish I had a great job I loved doing, lol. Terrific song.
@@Walter6078 I never saw it either until I read this and had to go back and look. He's right! You have to watch closely. The coffee ends up to the right of Alan 😅. Love this band ❤️
@@debbiecaton4500 saw them back in 81 at the Civic Arena [ now gone] in Pittsburgh with my fiancee. This band will always remind me of her. Especially this song.
Holy crap I can't believe I ever took this guy's ability to write lyrics for granted! It's like, I've heard this so many times that I never thought about how perfectly it all fits together.
I heard a DJ say a while back that Kevin Cronin kept this song in a briefcase for two years after he wrote it coz he was not sure that it was good enough to produce. So glad he did,as I feel it is one of REO,s greatest songs!
REO's "Can't fight this feeling" is the musical expression of how hard it is to love silently, and how in love you are with a friend or with someone you care for so much, but just don't have the courage to tell it... I LOVE THIS SONG!!! And seriously, is hard to deal with it
The 80's was an awesome time to be a teenager! This song and many others bring back such vivid memories, I get homesick to go back! We had some amazing music back then!
This video of REO Speedwagon performing in their studio is right up there with Queen's "Somebody to Love", The Who's "Who Are You?", and the non-Christmas version of East 17's "Stay Another Day".
+Luis Fernando Escobar Restrepo Concordo. Eu redescobri esta música ontem, depois de 30 anos seu que eu tenha ouvido uma única vez, tive uma certa dificuldade para encontrá-la porque pensei que fosse do grupo Chicago. O clip que aparece aqui também é o original que passava na época no FM TV com a apresentadora Patricia Pillar. Obrigado por ter postado.
Two weeks ago I saw them in Lincoln, CA, near Sacramento at a casino and Kevin can still belt out this song and others like it was still the 1980s. If you get a chance to see them, do it!
I once perfomed this song on a farewell party when I was still at high school (1994). Right after performing this song, some of my friends asked me what song was that? They really had no idea about that. I told them what's the title and the original singer name. Some days later, I can hear this song sung by many people at my school... anytime.. !!!.
i've been searching far and wide all over my life for this song exclusively with this video. and now i found it! the alternate video sucks! (not the song, just the video) bcz this song is great! it ruled my childhood for a very long time. nearly bringing tears to my eyes.. great memories.
This song as a wonderful line in it that I use a lot when I think of God. The quote is, "Even as I wander, I'm keeping you in sight. You're a candle in a window on a cold dark winter's night."
I completely agree with exafy...love to see the artists admit to couple missed notes in rehearsal, then nail it during recording this is an awesome. our song since 1985 love you REO
A powerful performance from REO...The passion these guys had and still have for their music is displayed on their faces in this clip, they truly gave it their all. The music of today has no passion in it at all, 99 percent of it is for money alone in the mind of the composers. I'm an '86 model so I should be relishing in todays stuff, but how can you after listening to 80's music and seeing performances like this??
Thank You very much !! I should add that we both have MBA's and that we had a plan since we were 16... Both of us against the world. We used to challenge ourselves on our grades!!! And now we're running a very successful business, send our kids to good schools, have a 6 bedroom house with all the trimmings,bought both our parents new houses and still go to soccer/hockey practices and games together. I wish this to everyone !!!
I was born in Australia on September 19, 1989 three months before the 80s came to an end I was born at the wrong time I should have been born in the 50s then I would've been around during three great decades of music the 60s, the 70s and the 80s.
Greg N mid 80s you had a few - that means half of the decade no one had any and a few first adopters had a few the last half of the decade. You folks always stretch the truth with your half assed claims.
What a beautifull song..!!! The best of the best.... I was 15 years old in 1985. I´m 39 now and I feel this song from the bottom of my heart. as before.... as the first time... since I heard it. I´ve always loved this song.... I will always love this song, forever....
I saw them in concert recently and they are still just as great today. I graduated the year this came out and I loved them then and still do today. They give an awesome concert. A must see.
+Vahan Nisanian, until a few weeks ago, I had never seen this version. The last part, where Kevin says it "warms the cockles of his cockles" cracks me up every time.
I love the fake crying at the end, gets me everytime :D also this song reminds me of high school, although that wasn't that long ago the song still is special because of it.......great times.
it's hard to find good music such as this one now compare to the 70's & 80's..for me i still think those days are still & will always be the golden days of pop music.
You're a lot luckier than some people, then, and you appreciate the beauty of what you have. Not everyone will agree that what you have is really much, but you have a treasure many people have trouble truly appreciating. Congratulations on 25 years (and counting) of happy memories you and your beloved have shared. I still hope I can get as lucky as you someday.
@lostin1982 congrats to you and your wife... i was 7 when it came out.. my dad and i busted out singing this at the reo concert years ago.. i was with him when he got the record album.. listenting to the record collection was one of our favorite things.
Es sin duda, uno de los mejores temas de los 80. Sin duda! Y esta grabación, es una gozada y muy peculiar. Os habeis fijado en el tamaño de la batería? Que grande! Todo es grande, timbales enormes de diámetro, baquetas largas, platos en blanco.....unicos! Muy buen sonido.
video clip maybe as usual in recording room...but to me is so special....this group especially this song is so meaning to me....thanks to the person who did this....thanks...i'm listening again and again...(i was born before 80)
One of the greats in a not great decade of music. This video is so much better than the other awful, robotic one, which is barely watchable. Good stuff.
They sure had a lot of killer songs but this probably launched them into the top 40 fame of the 80's and still is played today...go REO ! it is a shame the direction of this soft rock music caused so much friction to some,namely Gary, in the band...soft rock ballads commanded all at that time! Their rock n roll songs were awesome..but this song was so very big for them.
I've been listening & watching this video over & over again... yes it's little bit late for me to know this song. i was 9 yo when this video launched. but still i feel so glad to know & listen to this song... oohh... i love it!!! so touched by watching this video. funny when the drummer just came after the song was sang and suddenly he plays the drum perfectly!! cool!! and the ending.. yes, he sing this song with his whole heart... hixhix... i love this video!! Bravo for u guys!!!
I am born in the 90's but I love 80's music more than the music now. I imagine back then everything was simple and no technological gizmos, no worries, when pop was pure and honest.

heard these guys in live concert several years back fell in love with them then!
1985 you would have like
Music was great, life was simpler, kids were outside - not on electronic devices.
A great time to be a teen.
R.I.P Gary Richrath!!! One of the most UNDERRATED Guitarists EVER!!
It does not get any better than this. I was born in '84 and I swear I should have been born in '64 instead. The 80's was the best decade of music in my opinion. Love seeing the interaction with the guys before and after the song too. Great video for a great song
Joseph Hyde Lets hope that 2020s will be the decade of 80s style music.

What amazes me is that I find everything perfect in this song. Lyrics, voice, instruments, the guitar play in the middle, the starting and of course that marvelous ending. EVERYTHING !
Thanks REO for having made this song !
Saw the Speedwagon in 2014. Kevin Cronin now 65 still rockin' the country and "Rollin' With The Changes". Good music never dies.....RIP Gary Richrath.
timothy myers
Saw them in 1981or82 at the now gone Civic Arena in Pittsburgh. Great concert.
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Kevin Cronin is so talented! All of them are!
RIP. Gary Richrath
With headphones I just realized how much the drummer builds this out. Perfectly crafted, so many good decisions came together, real ear candy 👂
Even after 35 years it still warms the cockles of my cockles.
One of the best songs ever made!
Agree. When I listen to this track I feel immediately better 😂
Absolutely!
This song has stood the test of time! A timeless ballad is what it is! I was 7 or 8 when this song came out, but I'm sure people were falling in love with each other on this song back then! Love it!
What a beautifully simple song. Perfection.

None of the band members took themselves too seriously. RIP Gary!!
timeless..those were the years..whose with me..I love to go back in the 80's..
This was one of the videos that I first saw on MTV and then I was hooked.

Such a classic tune by REO Speedwagon! Brings back awesome memories of the 80s. All time favorite! 🔥🔥🔥
"you're a candle in the window on a cold dark winters night"- Amazing!!!
9 years ago😍
This song was on the radio in my 69` Plymouth when I asked my wife out back in 1985,What a heck of a nice song!!

I was the video editor for this which was part of an REO Speedwagon MTV "rockumentary".
Wow sir thanks we have this rare video i liked it its actually the original 😍
Is it possible for the video to be remastered to hd version?

Great music has no age limit. You can enjoy great music from age 1 to 100...

I love this beginning.. Some could say there was magic being made.
Still loving this in 2020 with the awesome old school music power of MTV.. I still miss the good old days of the 1980s.
Growing up in the 70's and 80's was just awesome. A lot of great music came out of those years. REO is right at the top of my list of favorites.
I was born in the wrong era. I love ALL of REO's songs. This video is awesome because they are in the studio recording it.
This video of REO Speedwagon performing in their studio is right up there with Queen's "Somebody to Love", The Who's "Who Are You?", and the non-Christmas version of East 17's "Stay Another Day".

@lostin1982 congrats to you and your wife... i was 7 when it came out.. my dad and i busted out singing this at the reo concert years ago.. i was with him when he got the record album.. listenting to the record collection was one of our favorite things.
Es sin duda, uno de los mejores temas de los 80. Sin duda!
Y esta grabación, es una gozada y muy peculiar.
Os habeis fijado en el tamaño de la batería? Que grande! Todo es grande, timbales enormes de diámetro, baquetas largas, platos en blanco.....unicos!
Muy buen sonido.
yo naci en los 80 pero nunca los vivi porque estva pequeño pero parece como si la hubiera vivido me gustan estas canciones
Whenever I see the perfect girl walk by me, this song plays.
video clip maybe as usual in recording room...but to me is so special....this group especially this song is so meaning to me....thanks to the person who did this....thanks...i'm listening again and again...(i was born before 80)
80's artists are the greatest. they're the experts on music. can't hear any song this great from today's artists.
Forever ruined by Rock of Ages.
And I can't unsee Rock of Ages anymore...I forgotten what this song stood for...
that he can't fight his feelings anymore. it's still sad
oh babe andrew e
this song is dedicated to my ..one only love you Sally Santianez..
I grew up in the 80s, so I know this song, but wish I was lil bit older to appreciate it more back then. I was in elementary school :/
i'm 18 years old..and i think REO is the best band ever..i wish i could of lived this era...the good part is that their music still touches my heart
this is not the official Clip? wow - many thanks for posting!

saludos a toda la gente que gusta de esta musica mi cancion para morir
This is the first official video of REO Speedwagon Can't Fight This Feeling aired on MTV in 1984.
One of the greats in a not great decade of music. This video is so much better than the other awful, robotic one, which is barely watchable. Good stuff.
They still sound exactly the same in concert
Supernatural
I love this music and I love this video because it shows the real work of musicians and singers who do their best to make good song sound right.
They sure had a lot of killer songs but this probably launched them into the top 40 fame of the 80's and still is played today...go REO ! it is a shame the direction of this soft rock music caused so much friction to some,namely Gary, in the band...soft rock ballads commanded all at that time! Their rock n roll songs were awesome..but this song was so very big for them.
I love this video of the song! Does anyone know where we can see a version of it in HD?
Better quality, maybe, but HD didn't exist in 1985.
Better quality works for me!
It looks and sounds better than it did back in 1985 from those low quality TV's.
I've been listening & watching this video over & over again... yes it's little bit late for me to know this song. i was 9 yo when this video launched. but still i feel so glad to know & listen to this song... oohh... i love it!!!
so touched by watching this video. funny when the drummer just came after the song was sang and suddenly he plays the drum perfectly!! cool!! and the ending.. yes, he sing this song with his whole heart... hixhix... i love this video!! Bravo for u guys!!!
The 70's and 80's were the golden days for music in general. Especially pop, rock & metal.
This is a song that loads and loads of people like but don't admit it. Good version too.
I am born in the 90's but I love 80's music more than the music now.
I imagine back then everything was simple and no technological gizmos, no worries, when pop was pure and honest.
