I'm 13 years old and I stay so sad when I think that the 70's/80's never go back... Everything was better, the music, the culture, and the people too. Sometimes I cry watching videos of Sweet and other bands that I love. I will never go for a concert by The Beatles, Ramones, Queen, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Pink Floyd... and this make me really sad. I was born at the wrong time!
Старанно. Незачем омрачаться. В свое время парни за 10 лет включили свои произведения в историю музыки, благодаря таланту, мелодии и текстам. И через 50 лет это актуально, ведь это же славно и необходимо !
It.s 2024 now and you;re an adult now m maybe married with children as well. How much has changed since you wrote this. I for one am now 61 years old. I was about 13 when this song came out and I never dreamed the world could go so wrong. I hope you are well and the world has been kind to you. All the best for the future and God bless.
This is, without a doubt, the best pop song ever recorded: exceptionally great lyrics, incredibly great riffs, progressive interlude and heavy metal...these guys were so far ahead of the time, it's incredible! Way way before these were genres! WTF; this is the best pop song ever!
This song is a masterpiece from the beginning to the end. Thank you so much Andy, Brian, Steve and Mick for all the good music and for being in my life. 💫
No song ever sounded quite like this. This is classy classic rock. Will love this tune till the day I die. The entire album "Level Headed" is legendary. Every track is imbedded in my soul. It's like a time machine to me. It will always be 1978.
@@peterburry3553 I get what he means though. It was the time of Glam Rock, they played the part but not their true selves. Much like bands like Slade, a very popular band that were not taken seriously after the era ended. They were both much better than they are given credit for.
I remember my father playing this at home. This song sounds similar to something ELO would create but yet different. It is truly an incredible composition with great, yet simple lyrics, that hit home.
I thought i was the only one that believed this was ELO…nice to know there’s another crazy lunatic out there…😂 i’m in good company…i wish there was a time machine, so i can go back to the ‘70’s and stay there…
THIS SONG IS one of the best songs with a hook that grabs you deep down inside. I did not think too muchy about it till I walked into the Providence Civic Center when Sweet was in the middle of this song and they had the whole audience by the tips of their fingers. Deep Purple followed them and could not match them. That was huge. Because Deep Purple can make most bands sound like there music is coming through a transister radio. I'm a big Purple fan and Sweet showed them the way at this partiicular show. Sweet rocked the arena this night.
That’s cool cause I loved both bands but Sweet was my first. As innocent as that sounds you still would have thought Deep Purple would have blown them away just because they were bigger. But like Lynyrd Skynyrd with The Who or The Stones it’s who really puts their all into a show.
These guys were way ahead of the curve. Hate that they encountered so much difficulty and division late in their run, especially Brian. What a talented, mysterious, cool, and unique group.
This long version is the absolute best! Reminds me of my childhood and I always jammed out to this! My brother played this all the time when he was a teen in the '70's!!
What a great song. I love the extended version with the breakdown in the middle. Rest in Peace Brian, Mick, and Steve. Long live Andy and the music of Sweet.
Very underated progressive rock group one of the greatest songs of all time the interlude will be played at my funeral I'm 67 years old now they don't make music like this anymore what a shame. 5:14
Sweet was quiet for a few years with not many hits from years before. It came out in 79 and sounded totally different but really good. Such a shame that most of the original band members are no longer with us.
great to hear someone of todays generation having a love for a great period in music, youtubing allows you to see and live this time so don't get sad, I'd love to be 13 again keep enjoying we all pass on some time. CHEERS
lynchie137 grenoch, are you sure. I've always heard Sweet guitarist Andy Scott wrote this and was nominated for an Ivor Novello Award for the composition. It lost to "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty. What ELO album did it appear on, because I have all of those too?
This is a great classic rock song. It is raw, it is expressive, it is melodic with great lyrics and great harmonies, and it tells a great story. I approve this video.
EXCELENTEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! EXCELENTE! Parece que la música se detuvo en los años 70 y 80, despues se terminó. Nunca había escuchado esta versión, es como que los instrumentos se tocan solos, no pueden parar de tocar, EXCELENTE. Gracias !!!
Andy Scott wrote a song that stands the test of time. Such an epic song!!Sad that it was really a farewell song. They still sounded and looked great. I love that classical guitar part.
Amazing how this and other music from this era brings you back to a much simpler time, perhaps the last simpler time. It would be nice to go back knowing what I know now.
1978, junior in high school. I asked a friend to take me to the mall. Bought this album, went back to school, put in on the turntable in the gym, and cranked it. She thought I was nuts. "Nobody gets into music like you do!!" Damn right.
One hit wonders? Not even. Can it get any better than this? I thought I was a rock-n-roller when I was 17 in 1980 and I was washing dishes at a golf resort restaurant. I was into AC/DC, VH, Nuge, Rush, Queen, Sabbath, Eagles, America, (yes, America), Disco (yes, Disco), KISS, and then a waiter told me about SWEET. What a band! Just does not get any better!
Totally agree with Ken I`m 53 I`ve been listening to Sweet since Funny Funny in 1970 I grew up with them they must be the most under rated band of all time. Their music sounds as good today as it did all those years ago. SWEET rockin days until the day I die
THE SWEET are simply one of the best groups ever! Especially in their Brian Connolly days, their music didn't put a foot wrong. Marvellous albums, excellent A-Sides and brilliant B-Sides. These are songs that stay with you for life! WE WANT SWEET!
I love sweet. They were a great Band. -MultiSmiley5- I think a lot of the young crowd love our music. My kids tell me all the time how lucky we were that we were teens in the 70's. I have to agree...our music is timeless!!
This version of this great song is on the "Level Headed" album. and it's still as much a favorite of mine as it was when it first came out. and the album cover is a treasure itself. and showed some of this really AWESOME album cover. towards the end of this video, like the guitar with the cassette player between the pick-ups, that's on the inset of the album cover. and right at the end of the video they showed the front of the album cover. definitely one my all time favorites for sure.
What is tremendous in this song is that you find the strength of glam rock, the beginning of prog rock, prefacing the disco craze. That's the way artists should be : aware of what's changing and what must remains the same. I'm definetely fond of Sweet.
I lived those days also. I enjoyed all the bands you named and many more. I think living through that era has made me appreciate all the great music that came along with it even more today. Wouldn't trade those days for anything in the world.
I'm 55 I always thought I was born 10 years too late I missed all the great cars and all the great songs but no no it's been a tough ride don't ever regret ❤🤟🤟💪💪💪
este tema es mi favorito de todos los tiempos es sublime su musica sus acordes y esa extension es increible, the swett estaran siempre en mi memoria y mas alla de la eternidad tanto asi que el dia de mi partida final esa sin regreso,, deseo con toda mi alma que se me despida con este love is iike oxigen lo amo hoy y siempre marisol
Que bonito, me hace sentir triste y a la vez alegre por los años que se me escapan de mi vida. No importa, esos tiempos fue de mucho gozo y algarabía. Excelente música. Gracias.
I had a small transister radio y I was in the wooden outhouse when I first heard this song. It was the type of song to stay in your head. I was never into lyrics, just the music. Good music. Enjoyable y motivating. Still think Andy Scott is the band's most intriguing member, y now soul survivor. God bless you Andy.
can u believed that it played on one of Kuala Lumpur's radio station and brought back so many memories. This song still rocks after 30 over years..........hope they will remaster Sweet's Greatest Hits.
Mit dieser Hymne setzten Sweet die Messlate für gute Rock Musik sehr hoch und dienten vielen Bands Als Vorbild.Leider schämen sich die meisten das zuzugeben...Wir hören es aber heraus.Von Rock über Hard Rock,Progressiv Rock,Funk bis Discoklaenge ist alles enthalten...Ein Evergreen Zeitlos und genial...voller Spannung,Melodie und Groove... Danke Sweet danke für dieses Werk Der Musikalischen Meisterklasse.... Dr.Ilja Lasaroff.Bulgarien,das Land des Sweet Vine,sweet Roses and sweet Musik.
Este tema, suave, pero maravilloso y potente, me trae recuerdos maravillosos de mi juventud. La música marca épocas, experiencias, emociones, amores y una que otra noviecita del ayer. Saludos. Gracias por compartir!!!
A truly great track. The Sweet were very innovative in their sound and in many ways, way ahead of their time. This melody changes in this track are fantastic, as is the tempo and pitch. Thumbs up for a memorable and brilliant sound.
Anyone that was into rock music in the 70s had to love Sweet. There are songs that come and go but then there are songs that you will take to your grave with you and this is one of them. Im 53 and remember them like it was yesterday.
Around 1982 I was living in Florida. I won a "Stump the DJ" radio contest by singing one of the verses from Love Is Like Oxygen. Thanks for posting this video!
I'm 13 years old and I stay so sad when I think that the 70's/80's never go back... Everything was better, the music, the culture, and the people too.

be thankful for this internet. this music will never die thanks to people like you.

You wrote this 12 years ago. You're 25 years old now. I wonder if you're still listening to and love 70s music? Hope so!!!
It.s 2024 now and you;re an adult now m maybe married with children as well.
How much has changed since you wrote this. I for one am now 61 years old. I was about 13 when this song came out and I never dreamed the world could go so wrong.

Absolutely! The golden age.
Top 10 of all time, without a doubt, maybe even top 5.
Yes
It's right up there.
Watch their performance of this sing at the Disco in Germany. 1972ish.
Rocck. not pop.
66 years old and only found out today that there was an extended version of one of my favorite sweet songs. Really! Amazing!
61 and me too!
65 and I have the greatest hits album. Never knew this existed. Best version.
The extended section in the middle has a Tubular Bells vibe about it. Or is it just me?
@@michaelbridger2277😢
This song is a masterpiece from the beginning to the end. Thank you so much Andy, Brian, Steve and Mick for all the good music and for being in my life. 💫
You damn straight on that pardner.
Thank Chinichap production for writing all their best songs.
truly, a masterpiece
🤩😻🤟👍

I was 15 then
Me too
Gotta play the long version. Nothing else will do!!!❤
proud to say that thats my uncle on there andy scott...its brilliant to see all these nice comments! xx
what a treat to be able to see him during the 70s. Love Love Sweet had them all over my bedroom wall. Catch the reaction videos also
One of the most underrated guitarists off all time groundbreaking music for sure
Cool
The most under rated rock band in history. Incredible.
They weren't really underrated... They were huge back in the 70's
i think the word underrated itself is underrated!
@@peterburry3553 I get what he means though. It was the time of Glam Rock, they played the part but not their true selves. Much like bands like Slade, a very popular band that were not taken seriously after the era ended. They were both much better than they are given credit for.
@@peacemaker6662glam rock was a whole different era😂
The word underrated is overrated 😂
I remember my father playing this at home. This song sounds similar to something ELO would create but yet different. It is truly an incredible composition with great, yet simple lyrics, that hit home.
This time does it for me. 1978 is the year!!!
Epic change from disco to rock!!
For a moment I thought it was ELO...
I thought i was the only one that believed this was ELO…nice to know there’s another crazy lunatic out there…😂 i’m in good company…i wish there was a time machine, so i can go back to the ‘70’s and stay there…
One of the most beautiful songs of the 70's by one of the best bands ever.
THIS SONG IS one of the best songs with a hook that grabs you deep down inside. I did not think too muchy about it till I walked into the Providence Civic Center when Sweet was in the middle of this song and they had the whole audience by the tips of their fingers.
Deep Purple followed them and could not match them. That was huge. Because Deep Purple can make most bands sound like there music is coming through a transister radio.
I'm a big Purple fan and Sweet showed them the way at this partiicular show. Sweet rocked the arena this night.
what year?
That’s cool cause I loved both bands but Sweet was my first. As innocent as that sounds you still would have thought Deep Purple would have blown them away just because they were bigger. But like Lynyrd Skynyrd with The Who or The Stones it’s who really puts their all into a show.
What treat to hear the long version. The Sweet spot.
These guys were way ahead of the curve. Hate that they encountered so much difficulty and division late in their run, especially Brian. What a talented, mysterious, cool, and unique group.
This long version is the absolute best! Reminds me of my childhood and I always jammed out to this! My brother played this all the time when he was a teen in the '70's!!
What a great song. I love the extended version with the breakdown in the middle. Rest in Peace Brian, Mick, and Steve. Long live Andy and the music of Sweet.
When I first heard this song on the radio (back in the 70's of course) I was immediately hooked with The Sweet. Glam-Rock!!!!
Very underated progressive rock group one of the greatest songs of all time the interlude will be played at my funeral I'm 67 years old now they don't make music like this anymore what a shame. 5:14
What a voice on Brian Connolly 🤟🔥🤟
His voice is very, um...SWEET!
Sweet was quiet for a few years with not many hits from years before. It came out in 79 and sounded totally different but really good. Such a shame that most of the original band members are no longer with us.
great to hear someone of todays generation having a love for a great period in music, youtubing allows you to see and live this time so don't get sad, I'd love to be 13 again keep enjoying we all pass on some time. CHEERS
I really love this song,....It`s my FAVORITE Sweet song of all time,..!!!!! 1978
I love this song especially the long version ! we habe the year 2023 and this song is from the 70th😳👍👍👍
It's right up there with the best of rock. Fan since 71
I was 17 years old when I felt in love with the Sweet: today I'm 51 but I feel to be young again with this Hall Of Fame song! Amazing!
This song is a work of total genius. Quite possibly one of The Sweet's best songs ever imho.
yo call me crazy lynchie, long as I've been living that's an E.L.O. tune. I have the vinyl album. hag1
grenooch Really? I did not know that. Guess I'll have to check that one out there, Mr. grenooch. ;)
lynchie137 grenoch, are you sure. I've always heard Sweet guitarist Andy Scott wrote this and was nominated for an Ivor Novello Award for the composition. It lost to "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty. What ELO album did it appear on, because I have all of those too?
grenooch wrong
Fanofald
So who wrote the song? Anyone out there know 100% for sure, cause I don't.
What a great combo of hard rock, power pop, prog, and disco! Sweet forever!
Это шедевр в мире музыки, в СССР слушали, спасибо вам обожаю!!!!!!?
This is a great classic rock song. It is raw, it is expressive, it is melodic with great lyrics and great harmonies, and it tells a great story. I approve this video.
A really good example of how 60's & 70's music was mixed & choreographed to provide a "complete" song, with no garbage inserted. Thank you, Sweet.
wow that almost sounded condescending
This is almost progressive rock… gotta love it !!! - superb vocal harmonies, great songs and arrangements … and beards...
Almost?
Love this long play version. They really were very talented.
SWEET. SO VERY UNDERRATED GROUP ALL AROUND. 🙏🙏🙏❤️🔥
Rock on!! 💕
Saw these guys back in the late 70's. That was a fun time to go to concerts.
Totally agree and the musicianship is exemplary. Classic trained pianist and what a song. Beauty that remains timeless.
Today music like that is impossible to listen on the radio. What a shame. Love, love, loooooovvvvvveeeeeeeee this song :-)
I was born in 1966 but like you, I loved it when I discovered it and I still love it as much today as I did back in ???
I loved The Sweet, they define the 70s for me. I miss you Brian.
While there're still people listening to bands like Sweet, the rock and music as art will never die!
I say for all the Brazilian fans!
I love the Sweet most underrated band ever everyone was influenced by them as much as the Beatles
EXCELENTEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! EXCELENTE! Parece que la música se detuvo en los años 70 y 80, despues se terminó. Nunca había escuchado esta versión, es como que los instrumentos se tocan solos, no pueden parar de tocar, EXCELENTE. Gracias !!!

Hearing this for the first time in 55yrs and what a track. A undiscovered piece of gold . Love it and its going on my mp3 immediately.
I was born in the 80's, and I still consider this to be in my Top 5 most favourite songs. It's just so emotive.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written timeless ❤❤❤
Good lawd...a feast for my ears and serious chills. Awesome groove. Can't get these feelings from todays music at all.
absolutely not...this is down to the marrow on every level..
Oh my goodness love this. ❤️❤️💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
i don't care, this band, whatever they were singing...were absolutely fantastic, always.
Amazing how this and other music from this era brings you back to a much simpler time, perhaps the last simpler time. It would be nice to go back knowing what I know now.
Such a Brillant band with Music that never got Old Cheers
You never get tired of this one. There are evergreens, and than there's this. The song is like oxygen.
Thank you for uploading the long version. ROCK ON!!!!!!
1978, junior in high school. I asked a friend to take me to the mall. Bought this album, went back to school, put in on the turntable in the gym, and cranked it. She thought I was nuts. "Nobody gets into music like you do!!" Damn right.
Love it! Honoured to have been listening to it when it first came out, and to have owned the single on vinyl! :D
I don't think the 45 had the long version if I am correct. The album version did.
@@jeffreyp1957 llllll
You're right this song can't get old that's how I feel about music from my past .
Great song. I love Sweet & this is another example of their musical genius.
A wonderful memory from 1978.
If there was ever a need for a "love" button, this is it!
One hit wonders? Not even. Can it get any better than this? I thought I was a rock-n-roller when I was 17 in 1980 and I was washing dishes at a golf resort restaurant.

WE WANT SWEET!
Sweet was among the first of the "glam rock" bands in the mid 70's.
I love sweet. They were a great Band. -MultiSmiley5- I think a lot of the young crowd love our music. My kids tell me all the time how lucky we were that we were teens in the 70's. I have to agree...our music is timeless!!
What tremendous talent to say the least. NO MODERN DAY BAND could ever come close to creativity sweet put out in their music.
They SO don't make them like this anymore...I thank my dad for making this music, along with Queen and others part of my childhood!
I agree too I´m 51 and just love the sound, from back then !!
I give it full power on my old denon/cerwin vega kit.
This version of this great song is on the "Level Headed" album. and it's still as much a favorite of mine as it was when it first came out. and the album cover is a treasure itself. and showed some of this really AWESOME album cover. towards the end of this video, like the guitar with the cassette player between the pick-ups, that's on the inset of the album cover. and right at the end of the video they showed the front of the album cover. definitely one my all time favorites for sure.
I love Sweet im 51 and this song and Action where Class.Thank You Brain Connolly and Members.
I was riding on public transportation on those years and this song was being played everyday. It was so awesome.
This was the first record I ever bought ( on 45). Still love the song to this day.
What is tremendous in this song is that you find the strength of glam rock, the beginning of prog rock, prefacing the disco craze. That's the way artists should be : aware of what's changing and what must remains the same. I'm definetely fond of Sweet.
That middle piano bit sounded like Mike Oldfield..

I'm 65 and this is my #1 song seen em in 78
We're the same age! Great group of musicians and performers!
I had a small transister radio y I was in the wooden outhouse when I first heard this song. It was the type of song to stay in your head. I was never into lyrics, just the music. Good music. Enjoyable y motivating. Still think Andy Scott is the band's most intriguing member, y now soul survivor. God bless you Andy.
can u believed that it played on one of Kuala Lumpur's radio station and brought back so many memories. This song still rocks after 30 over years..........hope they will remaster Sweet's Greatest Hits.
I have always had a love for this band. Love this 👊
excelente canción, me trae excelentes recuerdos, quisiera vivir esa epoca otra vez!!! nostalgia total
Mit dieser Hymne setzten Sweet die Messlate für gute Rock Musik sehr hoch und dienten vielen Bands
Als Vorbild.Leider schämen sich die meisten das zuzugeben...Wir hören es aber heraus.Von Rock über Hard Rock,Progressiv Rock,Funk bis Discoklaenge ist alles enthalten...Ein Evergreen Zeitlos und genial...voller Spannung,Melodie und Groove...

VERDADE PURA!!
Summer of '78. Cruising in my Black 1978 Z/28 4 speed. The best of times!
I loved this song when it came out. Sweet's music began hitting the airwaves when I was in high school. I hate that I was never able to see them live.
Britain was a bit rubbish in the 70s but we had this music
Ultimate proof that people often excell in times of crisis.
A truly great track. The Sweet were very innovative in their sound and in many ways, way ahead of their time. This melody changes in this track are fantastic, as is the tempo and pitch.
Thumbs up for a memorable and brilliant sound.
Fantastic version can't stop playing it; got the long version on vinyl 🎤
Asla eskimez, muhteşem ❤️🇹🇷
Es un clásico fantástico , por piezas como estas el rock será eterno!!!!
Anyone that was into rock music in the 70s had to love Sweet. There are songs that come and go but then there are songs that you will take to your grave with you and this is one of them. Im 53 and remember them like it was yesterday.
Have this LP, as a teenager love Sweet a lot, and still do :)
very cool song beautiful and my favorite song. great music very amazing 👍👍❤️❤️
