I want to tell you THANK YOU for helping my students. I teach at a Community College (one of my classes was high school students taking college classes). When we returned from Thanksgiving break, I was notified that one of my students in that class was killed in a car accident (16 years old). When we returned to class, I had to inform everyone of the loss. From that day on, there was one empty seat (which was a daily reminder of our loss). My students had not experienced loss before (they are all 16) and sat there in utter shock. My heart broke for the loss of my student and for the 35 students sitting there not knowing what to think or what to do. I played Hurricane for them; we played it 3 times before we left that day. The song gave them solace and continues to give them solace as they continue to deal with the loss of a classmate and friend. I will be forever grateful to you Nuno, Gary, Pat, and Kevin for the comfort you gave my students through your music. I only wish I could thank you in person when I see you play in Austin in a couple of weeks. Thank you so very much for helping my students! (I have no clue if you will see this, but it was important for me to write this in the hope that you all know how much your music means to your fans and 35 high school students in my class.)
Your sentiment brought tears to my eyes, and down my face. You should write a letter to Nuno. He’s such a cool guy that I’ll bet he’d actually respond to you….
@@jhgillmd Thank you so much for your words!! I tried to find a way to reach them to thank them and wanted to thank them in person when I saw the play in Austin bit I had no luck. Maybe once day they will see this post.
@@stacie9229 melhor comentário, acrescento que seria uma tortura para essa para a xícara ao tocar nos lábios dele e não grudar pra sempre, essa boca dele é uma tentação!
@@stacie9229For this video, because it’s so deeply personal, powerful and painful while positive at the same time, it’s hard for me to see them as swoonworthy cute boy rock stars but to each her own 🥰
@@stacie9229 yes. I almost couldn’t watch it because I knew that it was supposed to represent losing his mom and knowing how he feels about her was too much!
Dear Nuno Bettencourt, it was a pleasure to play this fantastic song for you for the SEGA Guitar week. And you were great at the Guitar awards. Greetings from the Netherlands!
Guys! This is beautiful! I needed to hear this as I am dealing with loss, change, starting a new life after 32 years marriage. So I am mourning death of mom, and the end of my marriage. The loss of my daughters yet have support of 3 sons. It really went deep into my soul. When Im crying and cant function I play this song to help me to continue this new path! Thank you guys! Another perfect masterpiece by Extreme! ❤ to you all!
Wow!...what an amazing heartfelt acoustic song. It made me cry and remember my father who passed away.🙏 Just like "More than Words", the vocal blending between Gary and Nuno is just sublime. Fantastic band who cannot just play Heavy fast Rock and Roll but can also play mellow songs with emotion. Extreme rules.👏
after all these years, Extreme is showing everybody how to do music with energy, with quality, with commercial interest, but above all, with soul. BRAVO
@@creamwobblyo Nuno nunca falou que ele era o novo EVH, que por sinal nunca foi meu guitarrista favorito. O Nuno sim. Veja as entrevistas que ele deu, desde o lançamento do Six. Fazer críticas é fácil, faça melhor,se é um dedo mindinho do gênio que é o Nuno. Deixa de ser invejoso. Deve ser feio também 😏😏
Thank You Nuno, Gary, Pat, and Kevin. I lost my Dad in mid-May 2016, then we lost over half of Dad’s Brothers and Sisters of 10 in my Dad’s family, along with my Mom’s oldest brother, and my Wife’s uncle through 2017. To say that my grief was and still is a big part of my life is an understatement. I also am a musician and songs like this help me to release the pain. It will never truly go away, but Hurricane has helped to ease the massive emptiness I felt for 3 1/2 years after his and my Aunts and Uncles passing away after Dad. Beautiful tune. Thank You from the bottom of my heart!
Hurricane makes me think of loved ones who are gone and makes me measure detachment. We're still pretty small when practicing this. We didn't lose anyone... because nothing is ours. We are all conscience and it never perishes. It only changes dimension, but this remoteness that our eyes can't see, hurts us too much. This song has an exceptional beauty. It is said that in other, more evolved dimensions there is a much more beautiful sound than on earth. Hurricane should come from there.
OMG, reading the comments while listening the song, I was moved and touched by every story. I feel like we all are a big family around rock and roll. God bless you all, be strong in difficult times
I lost my mom in 2011 and my dad just a year later. My parents had been together almost 50 years and the loss of my mom literally broke his heart. That final year, he was just waiting to die so he could be close to my mom again. This song perfectly illustrates the feelings he went through. My parents were my best friends and even after I moved out of CA, not a day went by without talking with them. I know they both are with God and that eases the hurt from losing them. Beautiful song!
Y'all have written and performed some great songs for almost 40 years now, and this one is one of your best yet. Heartfelt. Beautiful. Captures grief and loss in such a moving way. And, yet, helps heal those painful emotions, too. Thank you.
You are exactly right I was thinking the exact same thing beautiful song I love everything about it, I have loved listening to this band for 40 years and I love how they always reinvent their sound but yet it is still always Extreme, beautiful harmonies I look forward to hearing even more kick ass beautiful songs from these guys
This song was written by Nuno about a friend of his who passed away in a motorcycle accident. I found this out as I had the privilege of speaking with him before their concert in Atlantic City NJ, 1/27/24. What an amazing talent and such a gracious gentleman he was to my 13 year old son.
So smooth and mellow. It's a perfect vocal duet with Gary and Nuno. Another outstanding track. I really like how Extreme does various styles of music so well. Cheers! ✌️
Extreme, one of the true rock 'n roll bands left, putting out fresh material, gorgeous material, like Hurricane! I have loved this band since the 80's, when we all were just kids! They need a Grammy for this song, and this album! Harmonies are always going to make a band and they've got the lushest, most beautiful toned harmonies out there! Love you, Extreme!!❤
The vocals are off the hook, three lead singers in one band. Gary nunu and pat also got a great voice. (No one does stuff like this anymore. This is queen like 👍
Remember Wholehearted? This song is the follow-up for when you lose that person that filled that hole in your heart. Those we love don't go away... ... they walk beside us everyday. Chills. What a great song.
Actually Hole Hearted is a song about Christ. Read the lyrics. Gary is a very devoted Christian. Granted you can interpret songs in many different ways but reading the lyrics this is all about trying to find happiness with material goods and ambitions but missing the one thing that can fill you. Church services teach that stuff all the time. I think I read that Gary said it was the meaning also but I would have to try and go find that.
@@likeadollseyesstatuereview3808 I agree with you on Hole Hearted and I'm not sure how Extreme meant More Than Words, but I'm firmly convinced that is what God wants from us, a relationship of active partnership that goes beyond mere words to an actual blending of hearts. I love that the passionate heart of God pursues us where we're at, exactly as we are....at a rock concert, in a cubicle, in a mansion, on a mountain top. Anywhere. Everywhere. Because we are loved. Hurricane is also in those lines. As He says, He IS the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, not past tense. ❤
@@likeadollseyesstatuereview3808, the lyrics of this song were not written by Gary, Nuno wrote this song. He wrote this song as a kind of rememberence of a friend of his that perished in a motorvehicle accident. This is factual information as I was told this by Nuno himself on 1/27/24 in Atlantic City N.J. while bullshi**ing over breakfast as they were in town for their concert with Living Colour. I will as there to catch up with Corey Glover, the singer of Living Colour. A couple friends of mine have played with him on many projects. I played some guitar, piano on some side projects with him almost 20 years ago, but I was predominatley recording and mixing the tracks in an "underground" studio in a shuburb of Manhattan.
@@potatolew4495 I gotta believe Gary had influence on the lyrics. Obviously if Nuno said that to you that’s how he remembers it. It’s some awful lyrics if that’s what it’s about lol. The Hole Hearted title might be what he had in mind many years ago but the verse lyrics read like pure Gary 1. The verses do not match up with Nuno’s story. I mean the following lyrics plus tempo of song and how its song is more hopeful then missing a dead classmate. Life's ambition occupy my time Priorities confuse the mind Happiness one step behind This inner peace I've yet to find If I'm not blind why can't I see That a circle can't fit where a square should be This heart of stone is where I hide These feet of clay kep warm inside Day by day less satisfied Not fade away before I die None of Nunos solo work is that creative lyric wise. 2. It’s the final song to the funked up fairytale. Makes no sense why it would be about that Plus it would seem to be messed up to preform it live with such fun when it’s about a dead classmate. I could be wrong but it ends the album a hopeful note along with song for love. So cool you got to hang with Nuno like that.
@@potatolew4495 Plus there was this Extreme lead singer Gary Cherone came up with an interesting heartbreak metaphor on this track: He has a hole in his heart, and there's only one who can fill it. The song though, is not about a girl, but about God. Cherone is a devout Christian, but when writing rock lyrics he didn't make that obvious. When speaking with Christian publications, he made his beliefs clear, and even quipped that he plagiarized some lyrics for "Hole Hearted" from the Bible. And Nuno said this in an interview Guitarist Nuno Bettencourt wrote the music for this track right after his new guitar arrived: his first-ever 12-string. In a Songfacts interview with Bettencourt, he told the strange story of how it happened. "I wrote it on the toilet!," he said. "I got kind of excited that I had my first 12-string, and it made me want to go to the toilet. I sat down, took my time, and dare I say, the ideas just came out. They came pouring out."
This song has been one of my favorites from SIX since the first time I heard it. There is really nothing this band can’t do. They are mellow and beautiful but will also rock your socks off. I’m so happy to see them back and doing their best work.
Not ashamed to say that I cried over this video and again it’s not just because @OfficiallyExtreme is my favorite band…while they’re good at writing songs that we all connect with somehow…Nuno, Gary, Pat and Kevin opened up their own personal lives with this. If you know a fraction of what I do as a fan, you know what I mean. Thank you for making it so we don’t feel alone in our loss, boys 🥺🥰🫶🏻🙏
@@bighairprayer92 they’ve each lost at least one parent. Gary and Nuno have lost both and they were very close to their moms. Nuno said he likes to envision his mom as a little girl. Pat wants to see his mom as young and healthy instead of being ravaged by cancer. I think even Kevin’s dad (who he was close to) passed before Josephine Cherone did. It’s just what I think, but because Gary was close to his mom, and she was very supportive of him, letting her go is still very painful for him.
Beautiful 🪽👊🎤🎸🎼❤️ I lost my son when he was four years old to auto accident in 1980. I lost my sister 2021 after I was released from the hospital from being in a coma on life-support October 1st my only sister, my baby sister, passed away from COVID-19 pneumonia … Your right, about the waves they never stop coming, but we learn from our loss to live each day to the fullest, no matter how many bumps in the road are ahead of us in life … We’re still here our loved ones not so much but we’re still here, and I truly feel blessed, that I breathe another day of life … Ty again sweetie 🤘❤️
I lost my Avó (grandma in Portuguese) last year and I have her holy rosary. Gary and his rosary really got me. Love that it was included in the video for this amazing song 🙏
This song put me to tears the first time I heard it, walking through the neighbourhood the morning of the release of "Six." I put my earbuds in and just went walking. I remember exactly where I was when I first heard the line, "Is this the storm before the calm?" And the tears came. It just hit me with where I was at that moment (and, to some extent, still am). I wondered what people might think if they had been looking out their front windows to see some 49-year-old guy walking along and crying. No other band has ever comes close to doing that to me the way Extreme has over the years (I doubt I'll ever get through "Everything Under the Sun" without getting emotional). After all these decades, the band is simply part of my DNA anymore. I feel so incredibly grateful that they're still active and creating masterpieces like this ... and to see the appreciation and connection from so many other wonderful people like you. . Sending my heartfelt best wishes to anyone who see this. Much love. And long live Extreme.
Allow yourself to cry, mi man. We men have always had to carry the societal burden of excess stoicism, and keeping our emotions bottled up inside. Let it all go :) At most, you'll get a hug by some big-hearted stranger!
Lost my beautiful 28 year old daughter Michelle to a car accident. It will be three years this October 29th! I thought I was doing better. People keep going on and I feel stuck in time. I keep going too but it’s hard especially this time of year! Raising her daughter since she was one month old so God gave me another daughter but it doesn’t help the one I’m missing. I know we all will experience grief and loss but it’s the hardest thing for the living💞love your music!
Gentlemen - as gentle as a soft summer breeze and powerful as any force of nature. I still have tears rolling down my face. The written intro to the video helped set the stage. Thank you for something so beautiful that helped me remember...
I was listening to this for the first time this morning before i practiced my violin and i did not think that i would cry but no. Even now, i am still crying! ❤ i love you Extreme. Gary, Nuno you will always be my №1 ❤
It was like Nuno and Gary read my mind on this song, especially the title, because I lost my dad less than a month after Hurricane Harvey devastated his townhome in Ingleside, Texas on August 25, 2017, just 15 minutes south where they eye of the Hurricane made Landfall in Rockport, TX . My dad passed away on September 22nd from post-traumatic stress from the turtles pace that FEMA and his other insurance companies taking their time to give him the immediate help he needed. Just 5 days before he passed away when I last saw him he complained about the stresses that FEMA and State Farm was putting him through just to get the help that he needed. I told him not to stress because of his previous heart condition, he died at the age of 74 from a broken heart and a broken spirit. I honestly feel he would be here today if he didn't experience the after affects of a catastrophic event. To make matters worst, I lost my only brother to COVID 3 years later! Some friends have told me-- "We never get over losing a loved one, we just learn how to deal with it." GOD bless all of mankind and GOD bless EXTREME!!
I did absolutely cry when I first heard this song. Another classic from Nuno. One of the best acoustic ballads in the last thirty years. They are so good in concert! Rock aint dead!
How can I ever express the depth of love and gratitude for the feelings you share with all of us through your music guys! Thank you infinitely for another Masterpiece 🤍💙🤍
I watch this video whenever I need to clear my sinuses. Hope you enjoyed your visit to NB Nuno, I hope you guys will play the Madeira feast sometime and I might walk down the street and see you live a second time 💖

Lost my wife to lung cancer in February 2023! This songs sings to everything that I am feeling. Thank you...
Same month lost mom to dementia on the day they put out the preview clip of this song. Hits home with me as well
I didn't expect to be reduced to tears at 7 this morning.
Beautiful.
Once again we have a masterful performance by a legendary band. Great vocals Nuno!
I'd love to see a behind the scenes on this one...
this sounds like a taylor swift song though.. i think it will sound 100% better if she sang instead..

Gary's vignette hit me the hardest as I think about my own mom, lost 7 1/2 years ago, and the empty space hasn't filled at all.
Watching his usually sparkling personality (especially the pain in his eyes) was crushing, I agree.
Gary’s vignette hit me hard because of my own losses and being the most familiar with his mom and the story of how close they were 🥺🥹🥰
He's so haunted there. That "wine bottle wall" is absolutely swoonworthy.

WOOOOWW, just WOW, guys!!! 😥💔😢❤️
THANK YOU!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Very nice summer patio song 👍more please
Not ashamed to say that I cried over this video and again it’s not just because @OfficiallyExtreme is my favorite band…while they’re good at writing songs that we all connect with somehow…Nuno, Gary, Pat and Kevin opened up their own personal lives with this. If you know a fraction of what I do as a fan, you know what I mean. Thank you for making it so we don’t feel alone in our loss, boys 🥺🥰🫶🏻🙏
I’m curious; is this about Gary missing his mother? Not sure.
@@bighairprayer92 they’ve each lost at least one parent. Gary and Nuno have lost both and they were very close to their moms. Nuno said he likes to envision his mom as a little girl. Pat wants to see his mom as young and healthy instead of being ravaged by cancer. I think even Kevin’s dad (who he was close to) passed before Josephine Cherone did. It’s just what I think, but because Gary was close to his mom, and she was very supportive of him, letting her go is still very painful for him.
Whoever has done the video work on this album has hit it out of the park visually. Every video from especially Rainbow and Hurricane wow!
@@jaysonlaplante5527 that’s Nuno’s vision. Notice that he’s the co-director of the videos for all the singles on ‘SIX’?
Beautiful 🪽👊🎤🎸🎼❤️
I lost my son when he was four years old to auto accident in 1980.
I lost my sister 2021 after I was released from the hospital from being in a coma on life-support
October 1st my only sister, my baby sister, passed away from COVID-19 pneumonia …
Your right, about the waves they never stop coming, but we learn from our loss to live each day to the fullest, no matter how many bumps in the road are ahead of us in life …
We’re still here our loved ones not so much but we’re still here, and I truly feel blessed, that I breathe another day of life …
Ty again sweetie 🤘❤️
The more I listen to this song the more I love it. It has a deep meaning and it shows through the singers. It is a fabulous performance!
Beautiful. Thank you, guys.
I lost my Avó (grandma in Portuguese) last year and I have her holy rosary. Gary and his rosary really got me. Love that it was included in the video for this amazing song 🙏
Yes, that was a beautiful touch. Love it when he finds subtle ways to show his faith. ❤✝️
Absolutely Beautiful!
This song put me to tears the first time I heard it, walking through the neighbourhood the morning of the release of "Six." I put my earbuds in and just went walking.
I remember exactly where I was when I first heard the line, "Is this the storm before the calm?" And the tears came. It just hit me with where I was at that moment (and, to some extent, still am). I wondered what people might think if they had been looking out their front windows to see some 49-year-old guy walking along and crying.
No other band has ever comes close to doing that to me the way Extreme has over the years (I doubt I'll ever get through "Everything Under the Sun" without getting emotional).
After all these decades, the band is simply part of my DNA anymore. I feel so incredibly grateful that they're still active and creating masterpieces like this ... and to see the appreciation and connection from so many other wonderful people like you. .
Sending my heartfelt best wishes to anyone who see this. Much love.
And long live Extreme.
Allow yourself to cry, mi man. We men have always had to carry the societal burden of excess stoicism, and keeping our emotions bottled up inside. Let it all go :) At most, you'll get a hug by some big-hearted stranger!
We’ll said. Am I Ever Gonna Change is a hymn to me
@@andynowicki8860 Same here, my friend!
Lost my beautiful 28 year old daughter Michelle to a car accident. It will be three years this October 29th! I thought I was doing better. People keep going on and I feel stuck in time. I keep going too but it’s hard especially this time of year! Raising her daughter since she was one month old so God gave me another daughter but it doesn’t help the one I’m missing. I know we all will experience grief and loss but it’s the hardest thing for the living💞love your music!
Gentlemen - as gentle as a soft summer breeze and powerful as any force of nature. I still have tears rolling down my face. The written intro to the video helped set the stage. Thank you for something so beautiful that helped me remember...
Beautiful deep song✨️ love the melody 🎼🎶 great vocal work❤
OMG! I can NOT stop crying. Absolutely beautiful
33 years after More Than Words, if this isn't something you like, you seriously dead inside.
Vedere il Rosario tra le mani di una delle più influenti band rock del mondo, mi fa sperare in qualcosa di più profondo, di umano, di divino.
Execelente canción de Gary , nuno y compañía
Such a beautiful song...
I was listening to this for the first time this morning before i practiced my violin and i did not think that i would cry but no. Even now, i am still crying! ❤ i love you Extreme. Gary, Nuno you will always be my №1 ❤
I dare you to get to the end of this video and not hear X Out start playing in your head!
Beautiful stuff, your two voices trade off so well together!
exactly my thoughts.. was totally waiting on that opening riff from X OUT (yet another amazing song)
Beautiful song that speaks to the soul. I know loss all too well, losing my husband, mom & dad all within 2 years.
So sorry for your losses...may music & beautiful songs like this help you with your grieving...
@@robrichards6906 , thank you.
wow absolutely exquisite!!! This world needs more real music like this. The harmonies are lovely 😍🤩🥰
Fabulous Song Guys!!!! Extreme I've been Seeing your Fabulous band seens 89 at L'Amour!! Extreme is #1!!☮️🏆🌟🌟🌟🌟
My fave song on this excellent album ❤
Followed extreme since I was 14, now 45, still love and as a drummer great to drum to, 😊
It was like Nuno and Gary read my mind on this song, especially the title, because I lost my dad less than a month after Hurricane Harvey devastated his townhome in Ingleside, Texas on August 25, 2017, just 15 minutes south where they eye of the Hurricane made Landfall in Rockport, TX . My dad passed away on September 22nd from post-traumatic stress from the turtles pace that FEMA and his other insurance companies taking their time to give him the immediate help he needed. Just 5 days before he passed away when I last saw him he complained about the stresses that FEMA and State Farm was putting him through just to get the help that he needed. I told him not to stress because of his previous heart condition, he died at the age of 74 from a broken heart and a broken spirit. I honestly feel he would be here today if he didn't experience the after affects of a catastrophic event. To make matters worst, I lost my only brother to COVID 3 years later! Some friends have told me-- "We never get over losing a loved one, we just learn how to deal with it." GOD bless all of mankind and GOD bless EXTREME!!
Extreme is putting out some of their best music ever in 2023. Sounds great!
Very nice...I lost my daughter 2 years ago and life will never be the same...this song really touched my heart....bravo guys, once again!!!
Hugs, sorry for your loss
So sorry. That's really awful. RIP. Peace to you.
This is a spot on take on grief,loss.... glad you guys never left.
