It's never been a secret that GB is an incredible vocalist. But coming into that first verse...wow. It took my breath, it's actually gorgeous. I'm too young to have seen this play out it real-time. As a matter of fact, I'm too young to have experienced the active enforcement of an artist being so strictly confined to their assigned genres. GB must have genuinely felt he had absolutely no room to experiment with his sound at all; that any exploration of new ideas would be considered "a betrayal" to country music and to his fans. Imagined being so creatively stifled that the only way to indulge the desire to experiment is by creating a whole-ass alter ego. Being within a generation to have grown up with the internet-with youtube, soundcloud, attainable home studio set-ups, and endless room for musicians and artists to try different things- I guess it's easy for us to take the idea of that freedom for granted. GB, should you ever read this, please feel free to indulge in the creation of whatever sound you see fit. Imagine if he had exsisted in his youth and prime now where there's nothing to get in the way.
Couldn’t have said things better myself, I was born in 1990, my mom loved Garth in 99 and were black so I knew he had to be good! I’m just learning about this alter ego today and I’m fascinated..
This was actually part of the soundtrack that was to go with a planned movie that Garth was going to star in about Chris Gaines. This album was destroyed by critics so he never made the movie It's a shame because this was a killer album like all of his other stuff.
When this came out, I was soooo in love with Chris Gaines. My friend had to burst my bubble & tell me it was Garth Brooks. I was like, “Well, damn… tell you what. You can have Garth & I’ll keep Chris” 🤣❤️
I'm not going to say it sounds bad because garth brooks has a great voice but what I will say is that it's very bizarre an above all creepy..he could have released that pop album without making up this Chris gains character with complete back story the whole nine lmfao
@@mickey2953 I think you have some research to do! Garth Brooks WAS Chris Gaines! He wanted to come out with a pop album and he created Chris Gaines to do it. He created a screenplay for it too with Paramount. Research that and then come back with your jaw on the floor! ruclips.net/video/suPVvz9fMJo/видео.html
Over the centuries, virtually hundreds of famous musicians and actors have stepped out of their comfort zone to various degrees of success. Most fans are accepting of it because they get that these people are artistic. However, 99.9% of these artists did it as themselves, not some weird other person….😣
I'm shocked. Had never heard of this until last night, came to hear the music today, and it's this gentle, sensitive R&B, and people showed up to listen and give it love because it's sweet music. I'm shocked that it isn't shocking music. Garth Brooks gambled his reputation on this sweetness. There's something deeply beautiful about the whole thing.
Yea not sure why people are calling this rock music. This clearly has a Babyface-esque sound to it. Also feeling NSYNC slow pop song in there. Like Gone. I'm just confused as to why he decided to go with the goth/rock/punk look when this is not rock, goth or punk music. Lol
When this song first came out, my sister and I went plum crazy over it! We would call the radio stations to request them to play it. We played it so much that it almost drove our mother mad 😂 Oh, to be a teenager in the ‘90s ❤
i cant believe this man slapped on a wig and sang the most gentle alternative music ever edit: guys i said alternative just bc it's vague. Didn't want to call it anything else and have people be like "it's actually hard step folk piss get your genres right"
@@couldyou4745 that's alternative? No. Not at all. That's 90's chart fodder. Don't get me wrong, it's a great tune. But if that's "alternative" so too Truly, Madly, Deeply by Savage Garden or More Than Words by Extreme. A guitar does not make something alternative.
Like I've said before, I respect Garth for having the balls at the peak of his career to do something he wanted to do instead of playing it safe. People forget, the whole thing was supposed to be for a movie that never ended up getting made. But yeah, I loved the album and this is one of my favorite songs of the last few years of the 90's, IDC. It's a beautiful ballad. You know those things that we don't get much of because they require actual vocal talent.
@Ben The movie was to be called "The Lamb" but the project was canceled due to management and budgetary issues. It was supposed to showcase various points in the career and life of Gaines, a fictional rock star. The album was released about a year before the film was to come out. Apparently, the hope was that the early release, powered by Brooks' fame, would build interest in the movie. Btw, this info is easy to look-uo and verify.
@@davidross8233Fair, but it’s also not unusual for artists to do this. David Bowie had an alter ego or reinvention for basically every album, that’s why they called him “The Chameleon”. Steven King (although not a singer) published a lot of best selling books under different pseudonyms. I think creating the disconnect between Garth Brooks’ country music career and this project was sort of a buffer from causing people to assume he was leaving country behind for good. If he hadn’t have done that people probably would have lost it a lot harder than they did at the time because his career wasn’t in need of a change, I think he was though.
I will ALWAYS love this album! I wore it out playing it. That velvet voice gives me chills. We all know Garth can sing but damn boy….he KILLED this album❤️💜💙
I've known of the Chris Gaines persona since I was young and have heard people make fun of all that and I've never heard a word song wise till today. As I'm typing this this is the first I've ever heard any of the music and I'm pleasantly surprised. Gonna check out some more.
People looking at hair and not LISTENING! He was supposed to do a movie but it fell through. So, this is a song from that project. This is good work. Garth sounds like an angel.
I remember this from when I was a kid. And it was so funny cause all the white people thought Garth Brooks lost his mind. But the black people loved this song.
Also fun fact I just learned today; the three guys who wrote this (Tommy Sims, Wayne Kirkpatrick and Gordon Kennedy) also wrote "Change The World" a few years before, initially recorded by Wynonna Judd and popularized by the Babyface-produced version by Eric Clapton. I feel like you can kinda tell, they feel like sister songs as far as their vibes go
👆This Part!! I got a mint condition cd last year of this great album & it's in steady rotation. GB has said that this album challenged him to use his vocal range & this is evident from the 1st track to the last.
There's no more waiting Holding out for love You are my Godsend That I have been forever dreaming of My angel from above Heaven knows I'm head over heels and it shows I've played every field I suppose But there's something about you When you're around Baby I have found I get lost in you What is this feeling I've never known before That I should touch you Swearing to surrender ever more That's what I came here for Heaven knows I'm head over heels and it shows I've played every field I suppose But there's something about you When you're around Baby I have found I get lost in a wonderful daze Lost in your wonderful ways Heaven knows When you're around Baby I have found I get lost Heaven knows I'm head over heels and it shows I've played every field I suppose But there's something about you When you're around Baby I have found I get lost in you
Agreed, It should have gotten as much exposure that ttheyknew gave to others that they knew wasnt worth it! especially since this song was produced by babyface. but the words and how he sung is what made me buyit and stick in my car system and leave it there and put the car in storage when I deployed and when I came back. I t would be the first song in my car that I heard. but it was stuck and I had to repurchase it again ! 🤣🤣
It was released 25 years ago "Garth Brooks in...the Life of Chris Gaines". I had it when I was 9 from one of those mail-in Columbia House type of things. Where you could buy 20 cds for a penny each, if you paid full price for 2 of them
Honestly bless you for uploading this; for the longest time, the best quality video you could find for this looked like it was recorded on a tin can 😂 Dude was definitely ahead of the game trying to branch out musically like this with a literal concept album, shame people didn't really "get it" at the time. Garth deserved better, this song is such a banger!! 🗣️🗣️
This whole project was so damn sexy and cool. It made my musician heart open up to see such a major artist take a chance like this. If you're an artist, these kind of moves inspire greatly. Unexpected and first rate. Love you CHRIS/GARTH
YES. Thank you. I feel similarly. Such a sad shame that many of his "fans" seem to be weirded out by this and not appreciate him unfurling his range as an artist. This song in particular is so beautiful. I feel so deeply moved by his expression and delicate surrender. Some of the best vocals I have heard on any pop song ever. And it's all the more meaningful that he took such a big risk by challenging his demographic and image as an artist through experimenting in this way.
I agree, to bad he didn't stand up for his art, and allowed it to be buried! I really believe he would still be known as one of the most influential artists of all time if he would have fought harder to keep his music catalog in his own way and didn't feel the need to keep the commercial giants happy by keeping between the lines!
I just love that Garth Brooks did this album. My hair dresser played this for me while I got cut n color after he played me the whole album then he told me it was Garth. After my appt. I went out n immediately bought the CD. N wore it out n bought a 2nd copy. Love this.
i bought the album from a 2nd hand market stall in about 1999 and spent about £1 on it...i thought: "its only a quid, give it a try" possibly the best £1 i have ever spent...never thought i would love the album so much and still be playing it 25 years later... well done garth! 👏👏👏
I had no idea he did a video for this! It's just sad that an artist has to create a different persona just to showcase another side to their talent other than what they're "known" for. It's sad that people as a whole can't understand that exploring all of your facets is what an artist does. I'm sad that the whole Chris Gaines planned film never got made. THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!
I enjoyed this song when it came out. When I found out it was Garth Brooks.....i was like "you mean country music singer Garth Brooks??" WTF??? Classic.
I haven’t the slightest clue why, but I’ve been holding back tears for the entire time I’ve been listening to this song. I loved Garth Brooks music growing up and I always thought he deserved more of a chance to explore this facet of his musical talent publicly! Wow!!
Love this song by Chris Gaines AKA Garth Brooks.. He is an incredible singer with a gorgeous voice.. I use to listen to this song back in the days on the local Jazz Station ut here in Cali.. I'm so glad I was able to find this on RUclips. Thank you for sharing this. It's on repeat right now.. LOL
Ok, I don't understand the hate... Garth-I mean Chris has a beautiful voice and the song really isn't that bad. I guess people are just caught up in their ways and can't see anything different. ✌
When they album dropped way all the way back in the day, I was FLOORED this while album was just incredible, sad his "fans" hated it, because there is some gold
This is a beautiful song..I don't care about anything but the wonderful love this makes me feel. I am PROUD TO SAY I WISH THIS ARTIST WOULD HAVE CONTINUED!!
Garth Brooks as Chris Gaines is still magic. I know the “cross over” wasn’t done or wasn’t popular when Garth Brooks released this transitional album , but it just proves that raw talent doesn’t go in a box. Garth Brooks could sing a grocery list and it would still be golden. 😁
Well shit! Wow. Took me reading about 10 comments to accept this is the great Garth. Without knowing, wondering why I had never heard of this great artist. Simply outstanding and respectful. I take my hat off for you Garth!
Best selling American musician of all time. Garth did so good in his genre that he crossed over to the complete opposite genre and still kills it. Sounds like the hit Tracy Chapman never had
This is literally the only Chris/Garth song I liked. Was and am not into country but admire artists that can change their style, whether to suit others or themselves. And Garth Brooks achieved it quite brilliantly with this song. PS Its amazing what a wig can do😉
I still have this album sense it was released and it’s lovely that this is still here in 2023, I really wished The Lamb would have been made❤This MV is beautiful as the first day it was released ❤
I've known this song for ages but had no idea who sang it. I was gobsmacked. It always reminded me of something Babyface would do although I knew it wasn't him singing. This bloke can sing. I'll never listen to his country music but I could listen to this all day.
I fucking LOVE this album!! This is one of my favorites of his!! It wasn't received well bc it was different. It wasn't "the same old Garth Brooks." People couldn't keep an open mind. I don't know why, his vocals are absolutely gorgeous and the songs are beautifully written. "It don't matter to the sun" and "Maybe," are still 2 of my favorite songs over 20 years later. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
They were calling him out for not sticking to his lane back then. He had already won all the awards he could win and all of his albums were insane so he wanted to do something different. This was an amazing album. He was ahead of his time.
He did country music cause in the late 80s and early 90s Oklahoma, there was no other way. Nowadays, this would probably fly. Garth always wanted to be a rock star.
I've loved Garth Brooks ever since I heard him sing "Friends in High Places" at the Country Music Awards. I can't think of one song he sang that I don't love. I know that voice. But when I listen to Chris Gaines, I'm listening to Chris Gaines, not Garth Brooks. To think that one man has that much talent inside of him. It's too bad that people didn't appreciate it.
It was pure genius and light years ahead of its time. His country music fans thought he'd sold out but if this was released today, it'd be a smash. WAY before autotune.

How many country artists step out side their comfort zone? I love this.
Only others one I can think of are Taylor swift and Miley Cyrus
Only when country goes pop that’s the only time I can remember something like this
Kenny Rogers had a #1 hit with a Lionel Richie song
Dolly Parton with here you come again

Anyone got curious from Danny Gonzalez? 😭
Yeah wasn’t expecting it to actually be good
Yup

He never went anywhere
@@TruckingRedneck1 he needs to make a Lost In You 2.🤣
It's literally Garth brooks lol

the falsetto on this is perfection.
I can't wait until Garth releases the rest of Chris Gaines songs!
this is giving snape realness
this was my first thought lmao
Thank you for saying it😂
i stg he copied Trent Reznors look
Really hoping Garth would revisit this and release Chris Gaines digitally. This would be on repeat on my Spotify playlist.
💯 Same! ❤️👍🏾
I was searching for it after hearing it on my moms cd and I was so disappointed to see it wasn’t on Spotify🥲
Omg yes, please!!!
Y’all are welcome, bcuz Garth is bringing back Gaines. He recently just announced it!!
Where are the bodies G?
I for one believe that Garth Brooks is the persona and Chris Gaines is his real personality
This!
I agree, and I feel so bad he didn't get a chance to delve into it more because his voice was incredible in this.
Better not let the FBI see this comment...
🥴🤫
And the story in the cover about growing up in Queensland is Keith Urban, as is the hair style.
This has 90’s R&B written all over it, in the vein of Babyface.
It’s like the hit Tracy Chapman never had!
Yep I think he wrote it for him
Yes, I totally hear it.
YES!
It is Babyface in the background vocals
i cant believe this man slapped on a wig and sang the most gentle alternative music ever

I really believe he would still be known as one of the most influential artists of all time if he would have fought harder to keep his music catalog in his own way and didn't feel the need to keep the commercial giants happy by keeping between the lines!
This is a great, well written masterpiece of a song withperfect execution
I just love that Garth Brooks did this album. My hair dresser played this for me while I got cut n color after he played me the whole album then he told me it was Garth. After my appt. I went out n immediately bought the CD. N wore it out n bought a 2nd copy. Love this.
Plus his hairdresser did a banging job on HIS hair.
i bought the album from a 2nd hand market stall in about 1999 and spent about £1 on it...i thought: "its only a quid, give it a try"
possibly the best £1 i have ever spent...never thought i would love the album so much and still be playing it 25 years later...
well done garth! 👏👏👏
I have always LOVED this song! The vocals are beautiful!
I had no idea he did a video for this! It's just sad that an artist has to create a different persona just to showcase another side to their talent other than what they're "known" for. It's sad that people as a whole can't understand that exploring all of your facets is what an artist does. I'm sad that the whole Chris Gaines planned film never got made. THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!
It is Garth Brooks and I have loved his "Chris Gaines" CD . Music is fantastic, his voice beautiful. Love it !!!
I enjoyed this song when it came out. When I found out it was Garth Brooks.....i was like "you mean country music singer Garth Brooks??" WTF??? Classic.
I haven’t the slightest clue why, but I’ve been holding back tears for the entire time I’ve been listening to this song. I loved Garth Brooks music growing up and I always thought he deserved more of a chance to explore this facet of his musical talent publicly! Wow!!
Fantastic song from a fantastic album. Thanks for th 4k UHD version.
Love this song by Chris Gaines AKA Garth Brooks.. He is an incredible singer with a gorgeous voice.. I use to listen to this song back in the days on the local Jazz Station ut here in Cali.. I'm so glad I was able to find this on RUclips. Thank you for sharing this. It's on repeat right now.. LOL
Ok, I don't understand the hate... Garth-I mean Chris has a beautiful voice and the song really isn't that bad. I guess people are just caught up in their ways and can't see anything different. ✌
This isn't rock.
So glad the video is back!! So disappointed when they took it down. This is a beautiful song and I almost walked down the aisle to this.
My husband and I love this album and we feel like the concept was really interesting. I think people just couldn't wrap their heads around it.
When they album dropped way all the way back in the day, I was FLOORED this while album was just incredible, sad his "fans" hated it, because there is some gold
This is a beautiful song..I don't care about anything but the wonderful love this makes me feel. I am PROUD TO SAY I WISH THIS ARTIST WOULD HAVE CONTINUED!!
Garth Brooks as Chris Gaines is still magic. I know the “cross over” wasn’t done or wasn’t popular when Garth Brooks released this transitional album , but it just proves that raw talent doesn’t go in a box.
Garth Brooks could sing a grocery list and it would still be golden. 😁
Well shit! Wow. Took me reading about 10 comments to accept this is the great Garth.
Without knowing, wondering why I had never heard of this great artist. Simply outstanding and respectful. I take my hat off for you Garth!
There's talk of a Chris Gaines comeback this year!
He'd NEVER do it unfortunately!!😮💨 He's soooooo over Chris Gaines because of how the MEDIA reacted 🤦🏿♀️
@AnastasiaBeaverhousn Well you heard the news here first ;)
Finally someone uploaded this. Thank you!
Amazing...this song still gets me every time
Awesome voice Chris ... I mean Garth. This is great! Amazing versatility.
Such a great song!!!!!!! Such a fantastic vocalist.
This is such a beautiful song. Loveee it!
I’m just now getting to Chris Gaines. I CANT BELIEVE THIS IS GARTH!!!! Great great great voice and great great great song!!!!!
Best selling American musician of all time. Garth did so good in his genre that he crossed over to the complete opposite genre and still kills it. Sounds like the hit Tracy Chapman never had
Your right...if you close your eyes and think about Tracy Chapman, 🤷🏿♂️
it’s giving baby face sound vibes … nice song i think artists should beable to be versatile in their artistry
This isn't on Spotify. Thanks for providing my fix!!!!
This is literally the only Chris/Garth song I liked. Was and am not into country but admire artists that can change their style, whether to suit others or themselves. And Garth Brooks achieved it quite brilliantly with this song. PS Its amazing what a wig can do😉
This album is actually amazing and I wish it got more credit
thank you Danny
I still have this album sense it was released and it’s lovely that this is still here in 2023, I really wished The Lamb would have been made❤This MV is beautiful as the first day it was released ❤
I've known this song for ages but had no idea who sang it. I was gobsmacked. It always reminded me of something Babyface would do although I knew it wasn't him singing. This bloke can sing. I'll never listen to his country music but I could listen to this all day.
I fucking LOVE this album!! This is one of my favorites of his!! It wasn't received well bc it was different. It wasn't "the same old Garth Brooks." People couldn't keep an open mind. I don't know why, his vocals are absolutely gorgeous and the songs are beautifully written. "It don't matter to the sun" and "Maybe," are still 2 of my favorite songs over 20 years later. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was one of them who did not have the open mind, Just heard this for the first time last night . This is his real voice .
Stunning and beautiful
Wow I stopped in my tracks when I first heard the song
This whole album is amazing. I'm not sure why it got the hate that it did.
From what I've read people thought he'd gone crazy
I think I will listen to album,I love the song
They were calling him out for not sticking to his lane back then. He had already won all the awards he could win and all of his albums were insane so he wanted to do something different. This was an amazing album. He was ahead of his time.
He did country music cause in the late 80s and early 90s Oklahoma, there was no other way. Nowadays, this would probably fly. Garth always wanted to be a rock star.
Country folk don’t like change
This whole album is 🔥🔥💯👍
Im a 32 year old black dude and I found this song last week because of a meme and I’ve had this on repeat ever since, crazy how things happen.
You should check out the Childish Gambino cover if you haven't already, solid stuff
@@shikonaori OMG thank you for putting me on to this!
Omg this is and will always be one of my favorite love songs. So beautiful 🥰
I've loved Garth Brooks ever since I heard him sing "Friends in High Places" at the Country Music Awards. I can't think of one song he sang that I don't love. I know that voice. But when I listen to Chris Gaines, I'm listening to Chris Gaines, not Garth Brooks. To think that one man has that much talent inside of him. It's too bad that people didn't appreciate it.
It's Friends in LOW Places.
Beautiful song. Very melodic.❤
That's why this song went to Top 5 Hot 100.
Thanks for posting. Back in the day, I bought the CD (twice). I was impressed by the vocals. ❤
Whenever I see or hear Garth Brooks, I know Chris Gaines is living inside him....I love this version of Garth!
Love this man. Both Garth and Chris.
This could easily be a Babyface song.
As a black man, yes!
It was pure genius and light years ahead of its time. His country music fans thought he'd sold out but if this was released today, it'd be a smash. WAY before autotune.
