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.
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!!
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
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.
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 song 😢 being strong and vulnerable to that one💪🏾
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 👏🏾
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.
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.
Damn the memories are hitting. I miss the old days. Time is moving faster, and faster. It's sad, I'm tired of being sad. Didn't like the movie, but I had all the merch. Memories.
Same bro I'm 33 now and those childhood memories r still strong in my mind this song really brings me back and makes me feel emotion I haven't felt in a really long time..
There’s a difference between a song and a ballad . This kids is what we call a ballad . I had this on a 2 hour VHS . Yes for those who wasn’t around then those were a thing
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.
My favorite Batman song when I was a child and I'm grown up have a wife and kids and it's still my favorite childhood song. Such Nostalgia. 2024 and Still Awesome. 🔥😎👍💯
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.
I met you first time with this movie. I fell in love with your voice and your music. Since then your music has been the soundtrack of my life and in dark moments your voice comforts me. Thank you Seal.💜
30 years and still a banger. Talk about a timeless classic.
Timeless Melody
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 is talent.
Seal has an incredible voice. Raw and powerful. This song is a masterpiece.
Good song and voice - but what a dreadful video.🥲
The prettiest song to come out of the 90’s. 🌹
@@KPD017 with other groups like Boyz II Men, I think that's a bold statement, the 90's was a great time for music!
This man has a beautiful soul that radiates outwards
The 1990’s was truly a special decade!!!!!
Sure right abt that!❤
I was born in that decade.
It was ok
wow

I'll never forget how much this song ruled the world in 94. Happy 30th!!
Dayum 4 minutes comment.
Just randomly was recommended after Say Say Say video.

It's not even a song, it's a friggin' masterpiece of art or whatever you need to call it.
Masterpiece. One of the greatest songs of the 90's

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....
I’ll ALWAYS be in awe of this song and its composition.
This song really is a timeless song. It’s great in any generation and still feels fresh
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!
Batman Forever and Seal bring back the memories 😍
The 90s just hit different...
❤❤❤❤❤❤🫂❤️🔥
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Last great age. Sad, to be honest.
This, my heart will go on. A lot of legendary songs in the 90’s.
This man's voice is awesome.
his voice is magical
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.

How is this not over a million?
It only recently became the official video. The video before had hundreds of millions of views
I remember keeping this CD on repeat when I had the Batman Forever soundtrack. Timeless song and the self-titled album was amazing
Good Lord is this the best song of humanity
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
This is the only mainstream music song I know that has an oboe featured so prominently, and thank you for that ❤️
Those multiple voices give me chills even if I'm listening to it for thousandth time.
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. 🌹 🦭
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.
Val Kilmer as Batman,
Seal with this song, gosh!
Perfect!!! 🙌
Absolutely agree!! 🙌🏼
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 greatest songs ever recorded. ❤
We've sang it a thousand times together in my mind.
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.
Me too ❤
Ditto
Me too ❤

I hear you.been there
A beautiful song from Seal ❤️❤️👏👏👏
Before the Dark Knight and Batman Begins, there were these movies. I remember watching them with my dad.

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.
Childhood memories, still remember all the lyrics from day 1. An international classic. Thank you SEAL. Thank you Batman Forever.🙏🙏
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.
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 song 😢 being strong and vulnerable to that one💪🏾
OMG I BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS VERSION OF THE VIDEO IM CRYINGGGGGGGGGG
Every time i hear this song i have Goosebumps and this is one of my all time classics
Still, one of the best singable songs that has ever been made. 🎤🎙️
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 ….
One of the best soundtracks ever made
This just brings up so many childhood memories... oh nostalgia
Really brilliant and unforgettable song.
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 👏🏾
The Music Soundtrack to Batman Forever is a masterpiece. ❤❤❤
A true legend Seal, that's who you are, everything about this Song is pure work of a genius thanks Seal
This was always one of my favorite 90's Batman movies ever!😁👍🏿
This song still lives on after 30 years!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
90s were wild
They managed to capture all the feelings I had in my childhood in one music video! What a gem
One of the best hits from the 90s!!
*1 of the best Batman movies and SOUNDTRACKS*
and Top 3 Seal Songs
We finally get the official music video of this song after many years!
Huh?!?! This was always the official video.
@@staticfrequency2250It wasn’t officially posted until this video, there was just a third party post of it
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.
Seal literally takes my breath away. Let’s see. I’m breathing. Whew. What a vocalist.
Batman's face at 2:55 always cracked me up.
Facts! Everytime😂
It's crazy that a single seal sang this by itself. :O
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.
I was 12 and stoked for this movie...its wild how time flys by...kinda sad.
30 years later...They finally posted this...OMG!! IM CRYING!! 😢🌝🌟🌟🌟
yeah the batman forever version was one of the holy grails of youtube hadn't touched.
Have not seen this video since the BOX Music Channel Days!!!! Glad that it finally gor released!!!! Love this song!!!!
What a handsome man ! He’s like an angel
now this song reminds me of when i was batman, before i retired for the greater good of the city and for my love of me life, adam.
infact the song was so nice ill play it twice
Soon as the first note hits, it take you back. Couple that with Batman, you transported to your childhood instantly.
30 years later and it's finally here! One of the best songs to come out of the '90s! ❤
My all time favourite tune by the UK’s most legendary and influential musicians Seal.
This song is too good for the film it was featured in.
Song can do many things but he cannot verify the quality of a film script
Fna
Rude. Batman Forever is the best batman.
@@bethanyboulis6663 Hey, I never said Batman Forever was bad. I was just highlighting how good this song is. 😉
@@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.
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.

sounds like you had a happy childhood
Same bro I'm 33 now and those childhood memories r still strong in my mind this song really brings me back and makes me feel emotion I haven't felt in a really long time..
I know how you feel.. In 2025 it'll have been 30 years since viewing this in a UK Cinema -that'll be close to half of my Lifetime, tis scary ❤😢
There’s a difference between a song and a ballad . This kids is what we call a ballad . I had this on a 2 hour VHS . Yes for those who wasn’t around then those were a thing
Bloody awesome and beautiful song. 29 years later still my favourite Seal song.
Best song ever.

Love you Seal. Still a great track. Hope you are well.
this singer is Underrated and this song deserves more views
This song doesn't get enough recognition it should have ❤ #timeless
It had, like, all the recognition when it came out. Couldn't get away from it even if you tried.
It won 3 Grammys: Song of the year; Record of the year and Best male pop performance.
My favorite Batman song when I was a child and I'm grown up have a wife and kids and it's still my favorite childhood song. Such Nostalgia. 2024 and Still Awesome. 🔥😎👍💯
It's a beautiful song ❤

This song never gets old! It's amazing to think he was going to scrap and deprive the world of this masterpiece!
Fav ballad & voice ever ❤💯💋💯🌹
This song is a timeless masterpiece 🎵🎶🦇

my #1 favourite song of all time❤
Seal has a truly beautiful soul to write poetry and melodies like this (if he wrote them himself) he just seems like a genuinely chill, nice dude
