I think a lot of people dislike Warrant. That's your opinion. However Jani himself was an amazing talent. Singer and songwriter. Very underrated IMO. Listen to some of these lyrics. Heartbreaking.
An-Original-Walking-Trubie-Castles-Whovian-Anatomy-Fan The song is based on a true story is why it's heartbreaking. Jani came home to find his girlfriend in bed with his best friend. It hurt Jani so bad he had a nervous break down. It was a double betrayal.
An-Original-Walking-Trubie-Castles-Whovian-Anatomy-Fan I wish I could like your comment more than once..very very very few people could touch his talent and voice and song writing..to me he's right there with Steve Perry and that's about the only other singer that was in Jani's realm
Especially when you've caught a significant other cheating. This song has always held a place in my heart, along with Sometimes She Cries. It's hard to believe that Jani has been gone so long. I still cry every time I see a post to do with him or the original Warrant lineup. ❤️😥
I was a still in high school when they were big with Cherry Pie and was under aged to see then when They came to Australia so I missed out on seeing them live@@jeffreyg607
The fact that this sounds like a love song, but has such a deeper and darker meaning for his heartbreak makes it stand out so much. As the song progresses, the life in it starts to change. Usually songs are straight forward with one particular theme or idea, Jani tells a story. This track really, really grew on me. The video itself of him in the cemetery singing alone just does it for me. Rest In Peace Jani Lane, thank you for helping me along my journey and being a light to the world even when yours was mostly enveloped in darkness. I'd have to think you're somewhere wonderful now.
This song and "Heaven" are my absolute favorite Warrant songs❣️ Janie just put so much into the song that you could literally see his heartbreaking and knowing that it is true makes it even more devastating but beautiful at the same time❣️ -Heaven is my ringtone..... 🌹Jani🥀
I met Jani when I was a kid, when they first came out. I have the picture somwhere back home in Florida. Really nice guy and very underrated talented singer. Too bad his light went out so soon. R.I.P. Jani Lane.
Growing up him being the uncle image in my life because he was so close to my dad, I look and still look up to him, nobody can re create the voice he had, I love you Uncle J
+Derek Blair Do you know where this music video was filmed? I've been desperately trying to figure it out? Kind of looks like somewhere in California although my intuition tells me it's not?
I JUST KEEP SAYING....what a splendid voice.his vocal range and voice control of highs and lows was just beautifully insane.Good bye Jani,we'll miss ya a lot.....
I am twenty two years old and have been listening to a lot of other bands from this time, like Cinderella, Tesla, Poison, Ratt, Whitesnake, Whitelion, Extreme, Great White, LA Guns, Motley Crue, etc. and Jani Lane and Warrant for some reason is my favorite from this time. I can feel his soul and their music deeply and they just had a better tone and clarity in their music, message, and god his words flow so well like beautiful poetry. I feel warrant out of most bands in the glam hair metal times of the 1980s 1990s Warrant were true and real musicians and people. I would have loved to see them and meet Mr.Lane. Beautiful talent.
I had the pleasure of meeting Jani back in the early 90’s a few times when they were touring with Poison once and before touring playing smaller venues. Such an awesome guy. Down to earth, kind, friendly! This whole situation breaks my heart knowing how tortured he was. Wishing back then I had been able to maybe help him in some way. RIP Jani. Such an underrated talent gone way too soon.
Today is Friday ,March ,12 2021 maybe someone out there loves this song as much as i still do Jani Lane Thank you so much for your talents you are sadly missed 80's was the best time to be a teenager...
As a musician for over 40 years, this man is one of my favourites of my lifetime. Seen him live in the 90's and was even more amazing live... RIP brother... Your music will be listened to for generations to come...
Jani Lane, a man in so much pain he poured himself into a bottle of whiskey and wouldn't come out. Dispite the success Jani had in his life, he also experienced many tragedies, and this song is a true story based on one of them.Rest In Peace Jani. We miss You.
I have come back to see this video and listen to this song for years now. Its always been one of my favorite 80s songs. Beautiful man and beautiful voice. You are missed, Jani.❤
If anyone questions if Jani had talent all they need to do is listen to this song. He is a great guitar player and amazeing singer.I can feel the pain in his soul when he sings...and thats the art of the craft it can't be taught or manufacted.
I miss this music. I grew up with this kind of music. it's the best and better then what they play now on the radio... rest jani.. you and your music is missed
September 2019. This particular acoustic version/video, I can literally see the agony in his beautiful eyes and hear it in his voice. The heartbreak. The horror of seeing it. I look at that precious face and honest soul and I wish I could have taken away all his pain. Makes me teary eyed.
You have such a sensible soul my friend. I wish there were more people like you out there man. This is really what we all need: someone that takes out the pain stuck somewhere deep inside for reasons we can only guess. We don't know what we miss, but we know we miss something. When we come to world, we are all left with a hole we'll never fill. I don't know what it is. I only know we all have it. Some people like me try to navigate what's behind and when we come again in the surface, everything has changed. You'll never be the same man. You'll carry on your life like a robot most of the times, but you'll feel that pain always there, ready to bite you.
The fact the he died alone in hotel with his name on a piece of paper man..What a tragedy..No one deserve to end like that.. Anyone who met him as l can read on comments have only the best words for him..One of the best live singers no doubt,great songwriter and man as well.. Hope there is a better place for him somwhere..Place where we can meet each other again someday..Rip beautiful soul🙏
Jimmy A I met him inside of a convince store I was getting big gulp and hot link and warrant just walked in I had missed the concert because of work but I got them 2 sign A metal edge mag I bought in the store I still have it Ozzy was on the cover
Jani and I had a drink after a show in Toronto and we talked about our families and his daughter he wanted to stay longer because he liked the fact I wasn't hanging off him and just a normal everyday chat that was cool RIP my friend
There was always such innocence and truth in his voice: makes me want to cry like a little child every time I hear Jani sing his heart out. I get instant goosebumps just listening to the first few seconds of any of Warrant's ballads. In fact, "Heaven" and "I Saw Red" were the first two songs I learnt how to sing and play on my acoustic guitar, when I was a kid. To the greatest and meekest singer/song writer/musician of my teens and youth: "Thank you Jani Lane for ROCKING MY WORLD and making my highschool, college and university days so much FUN: you were one of my BIGGEST INSPIRATIONS to pursue my passion of singing and playing guitar. Thanks to you, today I am a humble hobbyist and your loyal fan FOREVER"..... REST IN PEACE BRO! :'(
Well said Noel if you knew the man it was like he was singing to just you best songwriter and showman of all time Bar None RIP my dear friend (John/Jani )
My god I'm in tears, I've been obsessing over Jani and for some reason I can't ever except his death, I love this man! So corny to say but the cherry pie guy is such a beautiful human, rip brother, your legacy lives on! Warrant is and will always be one of my favorites, if not favorite band ever! Much love, RIP
Man, this dude was a great story teller, this album was f'n huge. Glad I got to see them opening for Paul Stanley, before they broke out. God bless the 80's.............
Every time I pick up my guitar and play this song...I feel you man.... an inspiration and will always be missed... keep rockin up there, the angels must be lovin it! RIP
This is still an absolutely amazing performance acoustic and I don’t care if you like Warrant or not. I’ve never heard anyone say this wasn’t great! So much better than the original version. Gives me chills every time he gets going!!!
Oo it must be magic how inside your eyes i see my destiny every time we kiss i feel you breathe your love so deep inside of me and if the moon and stars should fall they'd be easy to replace i would lift you up to heaven and you would take their place then i saw red when i opened up the door i saw red heart just spilled on to the floor and i didn't need to see his face i saw yours i saw red then i closed the door i don't think i'm gonna love you anymore everyday i wake up i thank god that you are still a part of me opened up the door to which so many people never find the key and if the sun should ever fail to send his light we will burn a thousand candles and make everything alright then i saw red when i opened up the door i saw red heart just spilled on to the floor and i didn't need to see his face i saw yours i saw red then i closed the door i don't think i'm gonna love you anymore i've been hurt and i've been blind i'm not sure that i'll be fine i never thought it would end this way oo it must be magic (as on the lp)
I’ve always liked this version, almost as much as the electric version. It’s haunting. The video just adds to that. Amazing vocal. I remember buying the cassette of I Saw Red, just to have this version, as it was a bonus track only on that cassette. Great singer/songwriter. He is missed.
I'm not the biggest Warrant fan but this is a beautiful acoustic ballad for sure.The video director was wise to shoot this video at Sunset,it adds to the mood of the song.I love the shot of Jami sitting on the railroad tracks.
I saw Warrant in concert back in the 1990s at Universal Amphitheatre, along withe Scorpions and Alice Cooper. Is was a great show, and a great night. This version of this song especially has significance for me as Im sure it does for others and I usually , silently keep it close to my heart. When you hear Jani sing this out, his voice, the words, and best of all his melody... which is lacking in most modern music today.... where did the melodies go everyone? RIP Jani ... Warrant forever man.
5 years August and I still cry when I hear certain songs/performances from Jani. No one in my life (I never met) has ever affected me like Jani's death.
I agree. It just registers. I remember MTV first airing it, and I just couldn’t wait for it to air again so I could record it on VHS….so I could watch it whenever I wanted. He was a prolific singer/songwriter who I believe, would still be making amazing music today.
Remember these days Guys & Girls .. it's gone and never coming back... the world is falling deeper in to Crap... Jani your echoing your sounds in our Souls and Heaven✌
And how he passed was so freaking sad. The hotel staff wouldn't even go into the room to check on him. I do realize he had already passed and nothing could be done but that 911 call broke my freaking heart. RIP Jani Lane
Such an amazingly beautiful talent tragically lost to addiction way to early! I miss the continued brilliance of Jani's song writing and musical genius but am so thankful that his immense talent was captured for the future to see, hear and experience! Thank you Jani for the memories!
It was Jani's vocal's and song writting that made Warrant a hit. Without Jani they would not have come as far as they did.. Jani was a beautiful person inside and out. Yes, he fought his battles all through his career and it is so sad that he lost at the age of 47. Gone too soon. Jani,my friend. R.I.P.
Warrant (greatest hits) was my first ever cassette which I bought about 15 years ago. Have been in love with Jani's songs from the first time I heard and will always be.
One of my favorite singers/songwriters - you're writing and your music captured things the souls of many couldn't express touching millions. May you find peace
Man, we rode many backroads in the late 80's listening to this. What a great talent, I cant name but a few artist from the current that can have just them and the guitar and sound this good. And 2 of them are Country. If don't play music you probably wont notice it, but he's not just strumming the chords, he's picking out the notes, arpeggio style, and singing. Another underrated artist is Tom Keifer , Cinderella's front man, another of the rare lead singers playing lead guitar.
@@victorialey2867 I was just wondering and still bugs me to this day... Did Jani have some kind of thyroid disease? Because his eyes got progressively worse over the years being buggy and swollen.. Also the woman who claims to be his other daughter, I saw a picture of her when she was like around 5 or 6 and she looks exactly like Jani her eyes were identical and so was her little face with the blonde hair...
We met Jani in August 2009. He was super on stage and super nice backstage. He was probably one of the most underrated artists out there. What superb lyrics and music. RIP Jani.
I'm happy to have run across this acoustic version!!!! My favorite is the piano version though with guitar and drums. I've been trying to master this song vocally myself because it's lyrics are deep, raw and beautiful!!!! I just change a few word's in it because I'm a female. Love, love, love this song!!!!!!
i miss the days when there were rock bands like Warrant who were there to help you celebrate the good times as well as ease the pain of the bad times. thanks for the memories Jani. gone way too soon. rest in peace, brother.

most people diSlike the REAL just to love the UNREAL. Warrant was amazing with a real voice jani lane.
I think Jani (and Warrant by extension) were a lot deeper than given credit for, they just werent 'in your face' about it like the later Grunge-bands
2021 and this acoustic version is still a masterpiece!
The lyrics the guitar the voice…. Simple but hits you like a sledgehammer.

And knowing that this song was based on actual events that happened to Jani makes it even more heartfelt ❣️R. I. P.🌹 Jani🥀

DAMN do I ever miss this man!! One of the greatest singer/songwriter ever. RIP Jani, hope you finally found the peace you couldn't find here on earth.
💔💔 Someone I was (and am) proud to call my friend for the last 17 years of his time on Earth. Until next time, Jani. Love you always!
Don’t say that I’m going to cry

Oo it must be magic
how inside your eyes i see my destiny
every time we kiss
i feel you breathe your love so deep inside of me
and if the moon and stars should fall
they'd be easy to replace
i would lift you up to heaven
and you would take their place
then i saw red
when i opened up the door
i saw red
heart just spilled on to the floor
and i didn't need to see his face
i saw yours
i saw red then i closed the door
i don't think i'm gonna love you anymore
everyday i wake up
i thank god that you are
still a part of me
opened up the door to which
so many people never find the key
and if the sun
should ever fail to send his light
we will burn a thousand candles
and make everything alright
then i saw red
when i opened up the door
i saw red
heart just spilled on to the floor
and i didn't need to see his face
i saw yours
i saw red then i closed the door
i don't think i'm gonna love you anymore
i've been hurt
and i've been blind
i'm not sure that i'll be fine
i never thought it would
end this way
oo it must be magic
(as on the lp)

5 years August and I still cry when I hear certain songs/performances from Jani. No one in my life (I never met) has ever affected me like Jani's death.
This is my forever alltime favorite song - still unbeaten. The amazing Jani Lani. I miss him sooo much. RIP - I'm sure you're still rockin' in heaven
Incredible song by an incredible talent gone too soon
This song has always hit a nerve, beautiful, so sad and true for so many. Your voice was one of a kind baby. Miss you Jani.
I agree. It just registers. I remember MTV first airing it, and I just couldn’t wait for it to air again so I could record it on VHS….so I could watch it whenever I wanted. He was a prolific singer/songwriter who I believe, would still be making amazing music today.
He was so beautiful, with such soul in his voice.
was a senior in high school. remember driving around NE Ohio with this song in the tape deck. Where did the time go?
What a tragic life and a loss to the world. Jani had real talent. Gone but not forgotten.
I really was born in the wrong era…I wish I could’ve lived in the 80’s, and experienced these songs for the first time back then.
It was awesome
Magnifique artiste qui nous manques,il a bercer mon adolescence
Remember these days Guys & Girls .. it's gone and never coming back... the world is falling deeper in to Crap...
Jani your echoing your sounds in our Souls and Heaven✌
Such a great song

I still sing and play this song today in 2023 . Great song
Quien esta eschuchando en 2023 hermosa cancion
Jani the songs you wrote will never be replaced wonderful lyrics and magical voice ,i still can hear you sing my dear friend RIP.
I was an 80s teen so I was definitely a warrent fan still liston to the hair bands and this guy is such a great singer really sucks he passed😢 🤘👍🙂❤
Same here class of 1989!!😁
And how he passed was so freaking sad. The hotel staff wouldn't even go into the room to check on him. I do realize he had already passed and nothing could be done but that 911 call broke my freaking heart. RIP Jani Lane
I remember when this song was released. I didn't know about this acoustic version unit now. Awesome!
RIP Jani. Thank you for sharing your music and talent with us. Love you always
Such an amazingly beautiful talent tragically lost to addiction way to early! I miss the continued brilliance of Jani's song writing and musical genius but am so thankful that his immense talent was captured for the future to see, hear and experience! Thank you Jani for the memories!
It was Jani's vocal's and song writting that made Warrant a hit. Without Jani they would not have come as far as they did.. Jani was a beautiful person inside and out. Yes, he fought his battles all through his career and it is so sad that he lost at the age of 47. Gone too soon. Jani,my friend. R.I.P.
Warrant (greatest hits) was my first ever cassette which I bought about 15 years ago. Have been in love with Jani's songs from the first time I heard and will always be.
One of my favorite singers/songwriters - you're writing and your music captured things the souls of many couldn't express touching millions. May you find peace
That's what i just siad WOW........ WHat an artist in his poetry
I love this version, great song !
I'm #1 fan
Jani, gone from us four years today. Love and miss you as much today.
Man, we rode many backroads in the late 80's listening to this.
What a great talent, I cant name but a few artist from the current that can have just them and the guitar and sound this good. And 2 of them are Country.
If don't play music you probably wont notice it, but he's not just strumming the chords, he's picking out the notes, arpeggio style, and singing.
Another underrated artist is Tom Keifer , Cinderella's front man, another of the rare lead singers playing lead guitar.
Such a beautiful song! Jani is surely missed be all of us
This is one of the sweetest/sad songs I have ever heard. Jani will always be one of my favorite singers. RIP I truly hope he is at peace now.
💖 :) Awesome that this song has gotten this many views!!!!! Could you imagine him sitting around singing to you? 💖 💖💖
Yes, I did and so did he, I am his Sister
@@victorialey2867 I'm so sorry for your loss. He was amazing and talented.
@@victorialey2867 I was just wondering and still bugs me to this day... Did Jani have some kind of thyroid disease? Because his eyes got progressively worse over the years being buggy and swollen..
Also the woman who claims to be his other daughter, I saw a picture of her when she was like around 5 or 6 and she looks exactly like Jani her eyes were identical and so was her little face with the blonde hair...
We met Jani in August 2009. He was super on stage and super nice backstage. He was probably one of the most underrated artists out there. What superb lyrics and music. RIP Jani.
I'm happy to have run across this acoustic version!!!! My favorite is the piano version though with guitar and drums. I've been trying to master this song vocally myself because it's lyrics are deep, raw and beautiful!!!! I just change a few word's in it because I'm a female. Love, love, love this song!!!!!!
I'm trying to learn the piano part which is no easy feat at all for an intermediate like me 😂 as for the vocal, forget it, i know my place 😅 ❤
i miss the days when there were rock bands like Warrant who were there to help you celebrate the good times as well as ease the pain of the bad times.
thanks for the memories Jani. gone way too soon. rest in peace, brother.
Love this song, love this version
This version still stirs my soul.
