Also, he's a famous ex mormon. I'm around his age and also an ex mormon. His dad left the Guess Who partly because of his new religion. Fortunately Randy also found out that Mormonism is a farce and left too.
There's nothing wrong with innocent peaceful admiration. I mean I'm sure you've had rejections or people that you were attracted to that you just didn't end up with. This is a semi love song that just was about something that they knew would never be. And I for one think it is beautiful and from the heart.
Lol. Tally was a buddy of mine back in the 90's. It shocked the heck out of me when this song came out. He studied Philosophy... which explains the deeper meaning in lyrics. I knew he was musical, but not a rock star! This song is awesome!
He wrote this about a high school crush. Apparently, he adored her SO MUCH that it was just "too good to be true" to date her so "Why should I even bother". I felt that way about a girl 31 years ago and this June we will have been married for 32 years! I totally identify and I listened to this song every chance I got on my "Kraco" radio in my 1970 Chevy pickup back in the day.
It wasn't a high school crush. "I attempted to bribe the hottest girl in our high school to go out on a date with my stepbrother" Bachman told MTV News. "So as the conversation between me and what I thought was this godly, exalted woman progressed, I began to feel more and more uncomfortable and awkward, and so I just remember that feeling... I don't want to say fear, but just kind of being in awe of her." That's what Tal Bachman said about this song.
This song was a hit before anyone knew he was Randy Bachman's son. Just checked. You all have done 4 or 5 Guess Who songs and about 5 or 6 Bachman Turner songs.
I heard Tal Bachman in a interview years ago with his dad Randy that this song is about a girl he was very aware of in high school, but he just didn't have the courage to ask her out. Now haven't we all experienced that when we were teens?
I love so much this song. Is a memory of my childhood in transition to the adolescent, innocent VS expectative, love surviving the ilusions. Its a simple masterpice about the life from an aspect, Love.
Remember first time hearing this song. Tal's dad Randy phoned-in to local rock radio station, requesting it played on-air. He was put on hold for 55 minutes because the 20 year-old receptionist didn't know *Randy Bachman* is our Canadian music icon. Same rock radio station blew-off a young *Brian Adams* and still regret that discussion today.
Way more pop than anything I would normally ever be into but man, not only does he descend from musical greatness, but this song is just so perfect in every way for a pop song. Oh my. I can definitely put this on and crank it.
One of my favorite songs! There’s a sense of nostalgia when I listen to this song reminds me of my childhood but also reminds me of my high school crush. You know the feeling when you have a big crush in school but you kind of feel that they are way out of your league? Well I had a crush on this one girl and I’d say love at first sight and I definitely thought I had no chance with. I was this shy poor kid who started going to a prep like private school . A lot of confident , rich kids with sweaters who would hit on my crush a lot. I felt she was high above me and I had no chance. She never gave me eye contact and I felt as if she never noticed me. A year goes by and she ditches the prep boys and starts talking to me. Little did I know she had a crush on me. She made the first move, like I said I was too shy. I started getting some hate by the prep boys. I felt like I was walking in clouds like I was dreaming though . We’ve been together for about 15 years and married for 9. Even though we are equal , she’s high above me as in she’s beautiful inside and out and she brings the best out of me she’s my other half.
I heard this song after the 3rd date with my wife in 1999 & I felt the same way. It scared me being this powerless & vulnerable. Glad she wasn't a Jezebel. She could have wrecked my life. It was like going from depression to being on Valium then back down again. This song reminds me of those days up to the wedding & the year after. Still married.
Yeah the lyrics may be a little silly and provide a simp city 3000 soundtrack, but the tasty well-produced poppiness of this can't be denied; notice how long they took to pause it the first time.
I've loved this song and album for years. It came out when I was in Jr High, I haven't heard it in years but I was just reading through the track list and I remember every single song. It was excellent!
Reacting to this again, way late. My last semester in college, I came across this scenario. Met the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen in my life, to this day. Somehow, someway, we ended up kind of dating. Had the best pre-wedding party ever. Totally get both Brad and Lex's constructive criticism. Just gotta go with it, and act upon your feelings. Which I did at that point. Didn't turn out, but a phenomenal memory.
I know that the beautiful song “She so high” is by the Canadian singer Tal Bachman (1999), 👏🤩 but I like the cover of Kurt Nilsen (2004) much better, Kurt is not exactly a handsome man, but he does have a very beautiful and sexy voice. I love listening to the song sung by Kurt 💕😌💕 🎶 (sorry for the literal translation with the translation app, I live in Belgium.) 😉
Hey guys, when you're ready for a high octane orchestra style cover of a Chuck Berry original, check out and react to Electric Light Orchestra "Roll Over Beethovan".
Listen to her Brad......she is just speaking truth about women.....they are beautiful creatures who are jealous, competitive and hate other women more than anything.
I agree with Lex 100%. A saying I have heard growing up is "If she looks good from far, she's usually far from good." I avoid today's modern women because I am aware of their innate nature. Many of them will ruin your life if it means absorbing resources. Men tend to pick a variety of different women, so long as they feel they can get the women. Women only tend to pick men who fit an elite set of criteria (six figure income, six feet or taller, six pack abs, etc). And if you confess your feelings to her, she will string you along and walk all over you. That's the reality.
The lyrics are SO damn epically cheese lmao. With that said, I miss having 'pop music' on the radio like this that I didn't like just because it wasn't my style - now I don't like pop music because it's generally just generic manufactured 4/4 crap. But, ayyy, back in the '90s we had stuff like this on the radio that, once you got past the cheese, is a well written, well performed song. It's easy to listen to, even if it isn't what you would choose to listen to. Man I miss having that lol, now I just put on either podcasts or music that isn't what's being pumped into the radio stations.
This song came out when I was 17. You'd hear it on the radio between Third Eye Blind and Britney Spears or something like that. Then it faded away like most pop songs eventually do.
@@RSpracticalshooting 90’s was the last decade of real music in the Top 40. After Cobain’s death things started slowly going downhill and then by about 2002-2004, Top 40 music became generic pop trash (with the odd gem sprinkled in) There’s still amazing music today in all genres but you have to dig for it a little bit.
I'm so glad y'all figured it out by the end. Yeah this is not meant to be any sort of serious thing and we all know it's not healthy to put people on pedestals and objectify them and idealize them and all that. Of course of course of course. But this song perfectly captures the thrill of infatuation. It's just nearly perfect in that direction, and his performance on this vocally is incredible, and the arrangement of it and the dynamics, all of it is just such a well-put-together pop song.
I totally agree with your reaction to the video. The song is catchy, but no woman is that perfect. I prefer something more accurate like Evil Woman by the Electric Light Orchestra.
Lex hits it right on the head. She's not jaded, just a realist, and knows the mind of a woman. [Being one herself]. As Lex basically says if you put a woman on a pedestal she will always be looking down on you.
As a recovering Master Architect of Lady Pedestals, this one's about putting a Lady on a pedestal. 😉 Excellent song though, better than everything his Dad's band ever did put together. 🤘
In 1999 I was a courier driver who met the pilots who flew our freight in ( bank bags and such ) one morning a new pilot arrived a beautiful 28 year old girl called Kim , we hit it off straight away for a intense platonic relationship ( I was married and going thru difficulties ) I was madly in love with her ,she would come with me on my freight runs she took me flying we raced go karts against each other ...but I never crossed the line because in my heart I knew I wasn't up to her level , then one day she met a guy she liked ( another pilot ) and she was gone , she was indeed high above me in every way .....this song was a hit at the time in Australia and when we were together and it played , I would think how ironic . Kim I will always love you, Bob 💔❤🩹
Anyway, you both really, REALLY need to Check out the following that is excellent that you'd most likely enjoy of the pure high energy and raw power of the following Bands along with these actual videos: Motorhead "Overkill" Live in Germany there is so much more to them then Ace Of Spades!!! ;-) You'll love it!!!!

The visual adds brilliant aggression and hellish stage chaos!!! The REAL originators of the 'Black Metal' genre of the New wave of british heavy metal era of the beginning 1980's IMPORTANT to the style today.
I really don't want to sound dumb.....But will someone Please explain or give me a definition of " simp or simping". Anyway y'all are so funny! Back during this time frame a woman having an eggplant in her pants wasn't really an issue yet. Lol😂😂
If you never felt anything remotely like this about the woman you marry... you married the wrong woman. Besides, some people are simply, truly out of our league, and having "confidence" will do nothing to change that. They will never care about you, even if you had the confidence of Superman. It's more honest and realistic to admit that as a man. You shouldn't grow bitter towards those people, it's just how life is. They play the game in different division. You shouldn't obsess about those people (enough to write a song) either though, because they won't waste a thought to think about you either.
Have no clue who this is but until I was like 17 I always thought this song was about the singer's daughter lol then once I listened to the lyrics outside of the hook I realized it was just another crybaby one hit wonder. Change a few lyrics and I think my misinterpreted version is better lol
There's nothing wrong with innocent peaceful admiration. I mean I'm sure you've had rejections or people that you were attracted to that you just didn't end up with. This is a semi love song that just was about something that they knew would never be. And I for one think it is beautiful and from the heart.
Tal Bachmann is the son of the Guess Who and Bachmann Turner Overdrive singer Randy Bachmann this was a huge one hit wonder hits of the 90s
Don't forget Tal's uncles too. lol. Like Robbie (BTO drummer) and Tim (guitarists, he was off/on with the group).
Lead Guitarist. Only sang backup until BTO.
He's a lot better singer than his dad
Also, he's a famous ex mormon. I'm around his age and also an ex mormon. His dad left the Guess Who partly because of his new religion. Fortunately Randy also found out that Mormonism is a farce and left too.
I LOVE this song so much. It's a complete vibe.

LOL we must be the same age because I busted out smiling at your mention of a “Krako” car stereo - plus in a Chevy! 😊
It wasn't a high school crush. "I attempted to bribe the hottest girl in our high school to go out on a date with my stepbrother" Bachman told MTV News.

I don't want to say fear, but just kind of being in awe of her." That's what Tal Bachman said about this song.
Regardless what people think of the lyrics, the melody is catchy and the chorus especially draws you in.
Yes
Every time I heard this song play on VH1 before school, made me have a good day. 😊
This song was a hit before anyone knew he was Randy Bachman's son. Just checked. You all have done 4 or 5 Guess Who songs and about 5 or 6 Bachman Turner songs.
His hero growing up was Eddie Van Halen. He has Eddie's #2 guitar from the 5150 tour when his dad opened for Van Halen.
I heard Tal Bachman in a interview years ago with his dad Randy that this song is about a girl he was very aware of in high school, but he just didn't have the courage to ask her out. Now haven't we all experienced that when we were teens?
This song was on the radio constantly in the early 2000's.
His dad is the vocalist in the BTO song you reviewed " You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet"
I love so much this song. Is a memory of my childhood in transition to the adolescent, innocent VS expectative, love surviving the ilusions. Its a simple masterpice about the life from an aspect, Love.
Great track from an underrated album.
Absolutely. It was one of my favorite albums growing up.

I always thought that this video was entertaining. The girl has the cutest smile. It's really a good pop song also. She mugged that balloon guy too
I can’t believe this guy is from my city, and this song is always on repeat all on the radios all around the world lol love this song ☺️☺️
Way more pop than anything I would normally ever be into but man, not only does he descend from musical greatness, but this song is just so perfect in every way for a pop song. Oh my. I can definitely put this on and crank it.
This is a huge 90’s hit. So much nostalgia of my childhood.

For some reason this song reminds me of an old friend 😢 every body thought we were a couple but we never were 😢😢 hope she is ok
The simpiest song ever is Percy Sledge When A Man Loves A Woman. I think this guy was just recognizing she's out of his league.
I think Percy Sledge was describing a simp rather than being one.
this song was a ton of fun to sing along to, it was/is super catchy.
Didn't know the man but remembered the song.
I've loved this song and album for years. It came out when I was in Jr High, I haven't heard it in years but I was just reading through the track list and I remember every single song. It was excellent!
great tune
Like that Shirt, Brad! :) Greetings from Germany
I loved this song when it came out. Now I can only think of Rob Reiner singing it on New Girl.
🥰🙂🔥🔥💥💥 thx Brad and Lex for your reactions for this banger!!❤❤
Uncle Joey's buying you a poll next time you're on a stream! Thanks for all the love and support!! 👊🏾
@@BradAndLex OMG!!! So sweet 💗. I'll thank him on the stream. You're welcome Brad and Lex ❤️💯
I dated a woman who was a doctor when this came out. This song completely embodied the feelings I was having at the time.
I love this song but it’s def that song you hear at Marshall’s or TJ Maxx every time you go there to shop lol
I made a CD of music for my wife when we were first dating, and this song was on it.

You should listen to a Scottish singer called Tom Walker he has an outstanding voice and one of his songs is called ( Angels )
This song was very relatable in HS. With more age and wisdom I learned to lower my standards :D
Ok, so I've heard this song in a movie, I think. It's ok.
This song always reminds me of another song of he's called (Aeroplane) they are very similar.
I miss seeing you both here, on RUclips.
The 90s have entered the chat
Circle back to Staind, and check out So Far Away it's one of their best, and they have a number of great songs.
Listen to her Brad......she is just speaking truth about women.....they are beautiful creatures who are jealous, competitive and hate other women more than anything.
Lex keeping it real.
Suggestion - try Woodkid.
Brad's right. Just assume, and act, like she's the lucky one. (DON'T SAY IT THOUGH!) She'll be happier with you. ;)
I agree with Lex 100%. A saying I have heard growing up is "If she looks good from far, she's usually far from good." I avoid today's modern women because I am aware of their innate nature.

"She might have an eggplant in her pants..." I almost split my side! 🤣 I agree with Brad, this guy need some self-esteem.
I recall hearing once the best most lasting relationship is one where both people think the other is too good for them. Maybe she feels the same way?

Best simp song
I don't care if she was Helen of Troy, no girl could ever live up to this song.
It's a song, it isn't a real story, judging the singer's perspective isn't what the song is about. Songs are art for art's sake.
I think it was written about Lex ❤

Sometimes, there are girls who are everything you dream of, and you can't believe that they'd love a guy like you. But they do.
he left out Venus
Venus is the Roman name of the Greek god Aphrodite so Tal didn't leave her out.

Ironic - Lex is so high above.
The power of the simp
basically, like the nerdy, quite regular guy having a crush on the high status hot chick.....
Simp all the way.
In 2024, A guy who respect anmd adore woman is a Simpleton (Simp) ? Come on !
Simp? Wow. not sure that is even an acceptable term these days. its just a song man. get over it.
Or maybe do not know history!!!!
This has nothing to do with him not having enough self-respect. I think you were off-base there.
Listen to the song do you not understand the words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It might be an watermelon Instead an eggplant 🍆
Have no clue who this is but until I was like 17 I always thought this song was about the singer's daughter lol then once I listened to the lyrics outside of the hook I realized it was just another crybaby one hit wonder. Change a few lyrics and I think my misinterpreted version is better lol
This is a nominee for the most annoying song ever!
I've always hated this song, when it came out in the 90s I though the singer was a woman for the longest time.
This song could also be called "grow a pair"
There's nothing wrong with innocent peaceful admiration. I mean I'm sure you've had rejections or people that you were attracted to that you just didn't end up with. This is a semi love song that just was about something that they knew would never be. And I for one think it is beautiful and from the heart.
brad omg she is right
how is your girl so fkn based
