Barry Manilow is so underrated. A brilliant songwriter and arranger. This song is one of my favourites, but it's not a typical pop ballad. He has quite a few more excellent songs. I hope more people discover him.
It's all about atmosphere, you are correct, sir.
Grew up listening to Barry and love his music❤️❤️
Always have loved Manilow.....calming, romantic and peaceful!!!🙂🤗🤗🤗
He meant in using Chopin in the song is a compliment. Just like a copy of a original is a compliment to the original.
Understood. Thanks for commenting!
All of his tender songs touched me. Love at you brother. ❤
Thanks for watching and commenting. Appreciated.
You're absolutely right about the studio version being better at the end but this is still a fantastic version. Thank goodness the reactor appreciated it the way you and me.
The seventies offered so much variety! One of my hard rocking friends owned some of Barry’s albums! I still own the Barry Live album that you held in your hand!
Nice!
The song could it be magic is 51 years old.1st one is from 1971,second is from 1973,The remake and album is from 1975.The first two were demo songs.
Totally Awesome!
My FAVORITE Barry song! I grew up with Barry so his music is special to me. A lot of memories.
Me too. The weirdest song from Barry Manilow that I loved so much was "Only In Chicago". I never met anyone who ever mentioned that song. Your thoughts?
And thanks so much for watching and commenting.
Great song. Amazing
Mesmerizing, right? A true creative artist.
Thanks for your comment and for watching.
Beautiful chords in this song ...
So true.
fair play for the new point of view- love it
Mannilow is awesome!!! 💜
I agree, these younger people need the "drop" quick and all have ADHD 🙄 further, if they haven't been in love yet, they wouldn't get this song at all. This is actually my favorite Barry Manilow song - very powerful and beautiful 🥰 and yes I prefer the studio version too.
Barry says in the beginning when he talks about who he wrote the song with, that he’s opening with Chopin! Such a gorgeous song!
So true!
Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated Ms. Newcomb.
I agree he builds up and up and up
You should hear the album cut also both are beautiful
not sleeping here bud, just about to blow up - believe me.
There are dozens of pop/rock songs rooted in classical music themes ("Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procal Harum, "A Lovers Concerto" by The Toys, just for starters) so Barry's use or riff is nothing new. Also, I believe the term you're searching for is Public Domain. There are no copyright issues here -- and the other reactor's use of the term "stealing" is incorrect at best and insulting at worst, as Barry has ALWAYS (in print on his records and in all introductions of this song in concert) given reference to the Prelude in C minor by Chopin. This is my first time at your channel and if I may make a suggestion, it would be to boost the volume of the song once you begin to play it, if you want your viewers (especially the young ones) to listen to the song once it begins playing. I am glad you chose this particular reaction to review. While I don't often agree with that reactor's assessments, I credit him with being one of the few who react to more than just one or two of Manilow's songs.
I'm so glad I was born in 68
I'm Not going Anywhere!!! Take your time
He's not talking about copyright theft. He's talking about taking a work and copying it or working it into a song. Like Lover's Concerto is straight up Minuet in G with lyrics and additional instrumentation. Maroon 5 uses a lot from classical composers, as does Muse. Muse uses a lot of Chopin also. Some artists will take several bars and use them for their melody and then ornament it to add some originality. Most of the time. Some are straight up copying and just adding words (Minuet in G).
Stayed with you! btw Asia & BJ did the album version. Try reacting to their reaction.
Wasn't cool to like Barry as a kid but this song is awesome
Totally agree that the studio version is much better. Backup singers on studio version much much better . Barry also lets loose his vocals much better on studio version but still great live performance. Always loved this guys voice so soothing
This is a fun channel 😂
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment!
I thought the live version was pretty close to the studio version
This new generation will never get it. We did all the work for them. No wonder their brats.
If your interested, here is a melody by Barry Manilow. I hope you'll like it. It's deep. ruclips.net/video/TwqIcq-2NlM/видео.html
Yes, I saw this a few weeks ago. Very deep. Full circle about his relationship with his belated wife.
I know the song well, I just wanna see what happens here. (The song is great btw)
If I may be a bit crude, Barrys songs resemble sex in that they slowly build and slowly build to a release and then an aftermath.
If Run DMC/Aerosmith can do it how is this different? Barry never had to steal Chopin. I believe he made an amazing song in honor of Chopin and showed the beauty of this concerto.
lol Yes, the lyrics can be interpreted as sexual, and it very well could have been deliberate when writing them. Innuendo is everything here, as it is in the deliberate building, climax, and back down again at the end. It is in fact how you imagine perfect sex to be, right?! And of course, the key word in the chorus that is repeated over and over, and even angrily and anxiously as it builds - there is almost no other way to interpret it. Barry has often said that a lot of his songs were written to feel like a musical orgasm, so there ya go.
I Loved watching Midnight Special. Who's Donna Summers 😆 that's funny, ahh youngins
Dude, i am a bit surprised at your saying the lyrics are "filthy". I would have thought a connoisseur like yourself would have caught the passion in this song. It is filthy lovely as this song i feel depicts the physical art of love. This is the culmination of what happens when you found the love of your life, and marry her or him. But i wouldn't know...
As you alluded, not unlike life it starts slow then crescendos to the climax of whatever is middle age and you slowly come back to earth with that beautiful ending. Hopefully anyways. I'm still hoping for her and getting old doing it but she is out there, albeit maybe 9000 mi away. How bout you? Got hope? Kudos to (the few of?) you who have that but that's what i get for going for flash and no substance and living life my own way. Dont settle for trying to live up to the flash, grab the magic substance and run. Awesome song from back in the day and thanks for having fun widdit. God bless y'all, and get ready.
BTW, i was given free tickets to see Barry when i was about 24, and tho i grew up on his music i was more into rock. Being as i was probably the only 24 yr old heterosexual male there i gotta say he is a performer, and a great one as i was impressed. There were far worse rock concerts.
Every time I think or see or even hear about Barry Manilow I just think of him doing that terrible/boring cover of “I’ll Be There” in front of MJ and him seeming so unimpressed and then Rick James does a yawning motion with his hand after the performance was over OMG!!! It’s hilarious you gotta check that out LMFAO🤣🤣🤣💯
That's funny!
This guy is a really good reactor. He's very open minded and opinionated. Thanks for checking him out. I'm going to look up his channel.
Yeah well at least Barry is still ALIVE. He wins. ❤
The original reactor has never felt “the Magic.”
I recomended this song and performance to him, and I thought he did ok with this reaction.
I agree.
Could this be the magic came out in 1975 not 1973😄
Yep, 1975 was the re-released year.
The production album came out in 1975,the demos came out in 1971,and 1973.
I've been a Barry Manilow fan for 50yrs. When he listened to other Barry Manilow songs, he does the same thing. You don't know if he likes the song or not, until almost the end.
I agree. He reacts to a number of Manilla songs, and breaks them down after the song is done. He is one of the few that I watch because he doesn't interior during the song. And he knows what he's talking about.
This reactor is usually very cynical. He dumps on Streisand with regularity. I also don't like the way he stands throughout the video and shifts from foot to foot.
He actually likes the song. He usually makes a face like that.
You may think he doesn't like it
but his face fools you. The studio version of this song is better. The three women in the background isn't as good as in the studio version.
I see. Thanks for your thoughts.
He knows nothing about music yes barry manilow said he got the beat from chopin the classical pianoist 👍👍
Walther Murphy also blended classical and modern pop together.
You’re correct. Your intro was wayyyyy tooo long and apologetic. No need for that. Just give the intro, react thoughtfully and see how the comments are.
Appreciate your comments. Thanks.
Please let us hear this grand music without all of your comments! You ruined this song for your listeners!!
I think you stumbled onto the wrong channel. Here's Barry's channel, where you can listen by yourself in peace: ruclips.net/video/Vc5XtkZSH-Q/видео.html. Take care
One of the sexist song
True, and very atmospheric.
You need to NOT speak over every friggin' note.
Thanks for taking the time to comment.
