It actually bothers me that it's associated with a movie. One of the best songs ever made, and it's connected to a mediocre (at best) Batman movie. Seal is an absolute treasure and deserves better than being associated with a middling superhero movie.
Indeed but I am just noticing that Batman is in the video wish it wasn’t so… finding this out now being born in 89 and hearing this thousand times loving it every time takes from The song dammit
Listened to this masterpiece when I was 8, watching the end credits of Batman Forever. 30 years later, it still remains one of the most renowned love songs ever made. Masterfully done, Seal! Masterfully done!!
The funny thing is... it wouldn't have being so hard to have a batman storyline/movie that fit in with the premise of the song... Like i have this idea that the storyline could have been perfectly match if it was a scenario were batman have fought but also fallen for poison ivy instead. Like him in a serious way having emotions for her after have deprived himself from those feelings ( something canonically batman usually does) only to suddenly have them being open for and because her, and also have him face with the choice on what to do with the villainess, the consequences of her presence in his life. And something like that would have also had many opportunites to take ideas from the song, as by example in the part were it says : "now that your rose its in bloom" - "a light hits the gloom on the gray" ( in such a storyline, making the analogy of ivy having being this presence and intervention that shine a light for batman to look within himself and bring to his attention that the morally gray path he also walks doesn't difers much from hers and that he often ignores, and to have him deal with his morals and complexity on fighting her or something. Wouldn't have been such a bad idea ) ...... and it would have make much more sense in that way, on top of making the song fit perfectly 🤔............ not to mention have being made the song even more epic ☝️😌
Saw this in theaters back in HS when it first came out. Now that I'm grown and can smile because of experience I had no idea this was a masterpiece. On rare occasions, the soundtrack of the movie and the era when it came out almost made me feel like I was directly involved. Timeless.
Just got to use your feelings, man stop thinking about it. Logically once you use a little emotional realize exactly how this relates look at the images. It’s not that hard to understand. Even heroes fall in love.
Sitting at my dining room table tonight, drinking champagne sitting alone. And for some strange reason, this song popped in my head and it’s all I wanted to listen to. September 2024.
Ba-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da Ba-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea You became the light on the dark side of me Love remained a drug that′s the high and not the pill But did you know that when it snows My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen? Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah And now that your rose is in bloom A light hits the gloom on the gray Ba-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain, baby To me you're like a growing addiction that I can′t deny Won't you tell me, is that healthy, baby? But did you know that when it snows My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen?
Just finished watching the Vertex Effects podcast detailing this great song. Appreciate this greatness, the harmonies at the start so talented, 16 track/8 vocal harmonies per track... crazy work ethic in those days.
The more I hear Seal… the more I remember my best friend. We were just tucking into this.. the he died. Huge marker even more empowering music. Thanks.
I was like 7 when this came out and KNEW this was a banger… As a 37 yr old man… I realize this song is just beautiful… Moves me to tears type beautiful… Bravo 👏🏾
I heard this song several years ago but I didn't think much about it, I had other ideas in my head. Last Sunday I had a memorable day where I saw people very dear to me. It was a truly wonderful day, especially the friendship with a very special friend. When I got into the car to go home I turned on the radio and there was this song. And it was the representation of what I had experienced up to that moment. I've been listening to it for four days. It has entered my soul. It's wonderful!
This is such an incredibly beautiful song. I remember the first time ever heard it, it’s like my mind came to life for the first time ever. An absolute genius, one of a kind masterpiece.
@@timothymerrylees7590But as a 34 year old life long DC fan, it is absolutely a terrible movie. Watched it for the first time in like 15 years and I just couldn't believe I used to love it as a kid.
I was lucky enough to be alive at this time. We didn't have movies, we had EVENTS. It's hard to imagine the excitement built up for Batman Forever, but you just don't get it today.
you know I consider Batman Forever one of my guilty pleasures, I thought it was good for what it tried to do and admit there is probably a bit too much silliness but still love the movie for what it is especially in an age when every movie is trying to be dark or ugh preachy...and this song definitely adds to the funfactor of the movie!
Just watched Seal performing this acoustic and damn his voice is a God given blessing cause he still sounds good. I had to come rewatch the og and it's still a perfect love ballad 😢
This song and video were so perfect. I'd do anything to go back to the 90's for just 1 day. I know it'll never happen but all those memories will never fade.

This is one of the best love songs ever written. This is the best music video for this song. I think you had to live through Batman Forever and this time to really, really appreciate this.

I remember hearing it in the theater for the first time. Hit on TRL. Stop reminding me I'm getting old. I was 8 when this came out.

This man has a beautiful soul that radiates outwards
It's not even a song, it's a friggin' masterpiece of art or whatever you need to call it.
"Now that your rose is in bloom, a light hits the gloom on the grave,"
Can you explain this lyric to a person who doesn't understand this masterpiece?
I loved this song as a child, and here I am in 2024 still enjoying it. ❤
Me too. Love it!
Go listen to the Jeris Johnson cover. Really good as well!
Yes❤
Me too love the song so much
@@johnhernandez4734 So, I listened to the cover…and fell in love. Thank you for the rec!
I was 12 then, now I'm 42, how time flies😢 such a beautiful song❤

gosh
Same here 😌
i was 3 now i'm almost 33
Me too and I was in love with Val Kilmer ❤
This song really is a timeless song. It’s great in any generation and still feels fresh
Masterpiece. One of the greatest songs of the 90's
Ah yes.... THIS was and is what Batman needed all along.
i bet there were jokes how this had nothing to do with film itself randomly
@@wong2265my girlfriend and I laugh and joke about it all the time. Great song, ok movie but they don’t really go together 😂
Better than the new movies.

@restlessbutterfly4858 That's actually an awesome idea
Finally an official video for this amazing song from Batman Forever
Directed by Joel Schumacher (R.I.P.)
This video has been out as long as the movie, WTF. Lol
It's been there ages ago😂
Bout time
Huh? This came out when the song did....
Saw this in theaters back in HS when it first came out. Now that I'm grown and can smile because of experience I had no idea this was a masterpiece. On rare occasions, the soundtrack of the movie and the era when it came out almost made me feel like I was directly involved. Timeless.
This man's voice is awesome.
his voice is magical
I’ll ALWAYS be in awe of this song and its composition.
my parents always played this in the car. never knew the name, but I knew it was the best music I knew. just found it back. what a moment.
Back then they made our childhood cartoons come to life and actually made them with so much love. Thanks for these 90s gems!
This is the only mainstream music song I know that has an oboe featured so prominently, and thank you for that ❤️
How is this not over a million?
It only recently became the official video. The video before had hundreds of millions of views
Still a top song all these years , this song stood the test of time
literally all these years the song is like 29 years old it came out in 1995. Looks like you discovered it years later.
Those multiple voices give me chills even if I'm listening to it for thousandth time.
30 years of being a masterpiece and 30 years of us still not knowing how this song relates to batman
I think its just a classic that was on the soundtrack
Just got to use your feelings, man stop thinking about it. Logically once you use a little emotional realize exactly how this relates look at the images. It’s not that hard to understand. Even heroes fall in love.
Replace "Baby!" with "Batman". Done.
The director really liked the song, and that's the story
Seeing this unlocked so many memories from my childhood. 90s was a great time
We've sang it a thousand times together in my mind.
One of the greatest songs ever recorded. ❤
I remember keeping this CD on repeat when I had the Batman Forever soundtrack. Timeless song and the self-titled album was amazing
Sitting at my dining room table tonight, drinking champagne sitting alone. And for some strange reason, this song popped in my head and it’s all I wanted to listen to. September 2024.

I hear you.been there
Ba-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da
Ba-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da
There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea
You became the light on the dark side of me
Love remained a drug that′s the high and not the pill
But did you know that when it snows
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen?
Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray
Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah
And now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the gray
Ba-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da
There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say
You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain, baby
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can′t deny
Won't you tell me, is that healthy, baby?
But did you know that when it snows
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen?
Good Lord is this the best song of humanity
This just brings up so many childhood memories... oh nostalgia
I had no idea it won that many Grammy awards. 30 years later, and it still holds up. Might be one of the best leading movie soundtracks around. 🌹 🦭
Val Kilmer as Batman,
Seal with this song, gosh!
Perfect!!! 🙌
Absolutely agree!! 🙌🏼
Batman Forever and Seal bring back the memories 😍
Watched this 1 million times as a kid on MTV. It would play so much and I’d be there everytime singing along ❤❤❤❤
Me too 😂
One of the best soundtracks ever made
This song still lives on after 30 years!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
1:49 this scene always pops up in my mind when I here this song. Even though it’s been almost 30 years , it’s still so crystal clear ….
OMG I BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS VERSION OF THE VIDEO IM CRYINGGGGGGGGGG
Before the Dark Knight and Batman Begins, there were these movies. I remember watching them with my dad.
Im 37, I love Batman Forever and this song transport me to that era beautifully
Thank you! I'm about to turn 40, and I still feel like that 10-year-old who first laid eyes on this film. I will defend it to the ground.
I turn 38 in 3 months and this song makes me nostalgic of the 90s.
@@tatakae1981 I am 39 don't remember anything from the 90's for my life kind of started in 2010
43, this soundtrack was summer 1995 for me
I love Batman Forever also, except for the SNES game.
A true legend Seal, that's who you are, everything about this Song is pure work of a genius thanks Seal
Just finished watching the Vertex Effects podcast detailing this great song.

Do your research on the meaning of most of his songs. Do your research on him.
Pay close attention to this song’s lyrics. This is more trash talk than most songs ever written.
The more I hear Seal… the more I remember my best friend. We were just tucking into this.. the he died. Huge marker even more empowering music. Thanks.
Childhood memories, still remember all the lyrics from day 1. An international classic. Thank you SEAL. Thank you Batman Forever.🙏🙏

90s were wild
Every time i hear this song i have Goosebumps and this is one of my all time classics
i was in Year 4 when this song debuted. If only I could build a time machine and head back to those care-free times.

Timeless masterpiece. Seal should have ventured into acting based on his looks. Great looks with a manly appearance
The best vocals ever. Nobody even comes close to Seal.

this singer is Underrated and this song deserves more views
I still remember the first day I saw this on TV. So much memories.
Seal literally takes my breath away. Let’s see. I’m breathing. Whew. What a vocalist.
Soon as the first note hits, it take you back. Couple that with Batman, you transported to your childhood instantly.
Old enough to still remember this being released… time is running out..

Still one of my favorite songs of all time 🥺
Magic, fantastic, spectacular. A very long time ago, I used to be young
This Song is 20X Better than the Movie 🦇
How Good Is Batman Forever By Itself. I Plan On Watching It.
It was an amazing song in the 90s, and in the new century it's a time capsule that I adore
Love you Seal. Still a great track. Hope you are well.
Aah, happier times in my life. That summer (1995) brought us some memorable songs.
My favorite Batman movie of all time.
