That's the _exact_ reason I searched for this video too! And after scanning other comments, it seems many others found the video under similar circumstances. It's really a wonderful song. A true classic. Despite knowing precious little about music theory, I still found Rick Beato's analysis fascinating. For those who're wondering what we're talking about, here's Rick's video: ruclips.net/video/ZnRxTW8GxT8/видео.html
This song is from 1983. I can remember that because I did something to break the trust that my wife had in me in that year. Every time this song played on the radio, I would sing his part and my step-daughter would sing her part. I wanted so much to make it up to my wife but it was not to be. We separated and then a year later I lost her altogether in a tragic twist of fate. To this day I fight back tears every time I listen to this song or Peabo Bryson's song, "If Ever Your in My Arms Again," which is from 1984.
I actually came here before watching the whole thing (basically as soon as I knew the name). I wanted to see what he was working with first. But I can't believe how well all this chaos works in this song.
For the people that came for Rick beato. You should check out other Sergio Mendes compositions. He is a genius at fusing Brazilian song structures into a more accessible and mind-blowing combination
This song plays at my work ALL THE TIME and its one of the only songs that makes me cry every time it plays. I thought it'd be a great addition to my wedding playlist but after reading the lyrics I guess not!
even though I'm just 18 years old, this feels like I'm living in 80's, like i've been living for a long time. I just love listening to old musics, it's my bop :))))
So many breathtakingly beautiful memories attached to this song and era of time. Why don't they music like this anymore? Who's still loving it in 2019?
The 80s had so many emotional songs. The 80s songs that are emotional, make me say: "This is so touching 😔❤." and "Why is this song making me cry? 😢" But they touch my heart and soul.
2018 and this song still brings me to tears. How the hell do you truly make up to the love of your life for letting them go but by the grace of God you two reunited. Lord the memories I have attached to this song. Why in the hell don't they make music like this anymore? My own family and race of people had issues with me loving a Mexican and the funny thing is many of them have been in multiple relationships or remarried and we got 25 strong years under our belts. Some things just were meant to be.
Just watched Rick's video on it a moment ago... I'm definitely gonna troll my wedding band with this song once they ask what's gonna be the first dance xD
I heard this song in my sleep and couldn’t remember who sung it. I went on iTunes and I wasn’t thinking it was Sergio mendes so I googled the words and thank goodness I found it. Love love love #1 fav
This song is definitely a timeless classic of 1983. We played the hell out of it in Air Force basic training in the fall of '83. About halfway thru training when we started getting more "liberties" I, on a whim, grabbed a K-tel album cassette titled "Heartbeat of the 80s", at the Base Exchange (BX) which is like a little department store. That album was the last or only one they had. I also bought a little cassette player/recorder. This song was on there, along with a bunch of other great ones. Everyone in the dorm went crazy over it! Everyone kept borrowing it from me to play in their areas. I think that cassette got damn near worn out! LOL! People especially played this song over and over. Many ran to the BX wanting the album but there weren't anymore! This song and that album really helped a lot of guys by making the later part of basic training more pleasant... great music while doing dorm details or studying. Now, in this day of smart phones, people would laugh... a cassette and tape recorder? How ancient! But at the time that was a big deal! I still have that cassette but never play it anymore (in the day of CDs), but I often laugh when I think of all the hype and excitement it brought in a boot camp dorm all those years ago!
The complexity evokes more emotion in the singing. It is a masterpiece, sad that most of us rock kids couldn’t turn off fast enough. I’m glad you get wiser as you get older.
The time I heard this song, it's amazing so pleasing to your ears, great lyrics, great for both couples.. Its shows emotion, feeling for two people in love.... Thanks for sharing this beautiful songs......
I remember when this song came out. I was 9 in 1983...Knew this song by heart, and drove my mom crazy by singing it. Wish I had another moment to sing it to her
I was born in the 80s but i heard this on the Michelin commercial. But i even had the words wrong I thought it said "gonna try to make up for the tires, i love you so never gonna let u go" 😂😂😂
Casi toda una vida buscando esta bella canción .... simplemente me fascina.. me eriza la piel. Y hoy que es mi cumpleaños la encontré!!! Que gran regalo!!!
This song has some of the strangest _pretty_ chord changes I've ever heard. Even now, after I've dissected it, some of the harmonic leaps make my heart skip a beat like "did that really happen... and not sound like $&*+?" Intro: F#m9 Bm7 | E(add 2) A∆ | D(add 2) E9 | F#(add2) | Where does it feel like this lead-in is headed? B minor perhaps? NOPE. Verse: Gm9 Cm7 | F7 F7/E♭ B♭/D / | E♭69 B♭/D | A♭∆ / E♭/F F∆/G | We landed in E♭, but what's up with those 2nds in the bass? (This will be a recurring theme.) Em9 Am7 | D7 D7/C G/B / | C G/B | C∆/D / / C6/D | And now we try it in C. Wait, weren't we just in F# a few seconds ago? And the harmonic mindf&#k continues for the entire duration of the song, driving musicians around the world nuts, while the general public has absolutely no idea why. I love this song. (I'll provide the whole chord sheet if anyone wants it.)
I've always loved that!! I miss pop songs with really sophisticated chord changes. Like this song, and things like "After The Love Has Gone" by EWF/Jay Graydon, "Time Will Reveal" by Debarge. Great analysis, I'd love to see your whole chart Scott!
doglix1 i love this song, almost paradise, lady in red, careless whispers. yes i am a metal guy, but i got my romantic side to. ill never let this song go.
Oh my sweet Jesus, what a powerful song. This song speaks volumes, Sergio sings it with so much compassion and conviction. I cry everytime I hear this timeless and beautiful song, I could slowdance to this over and over again. Sergio thank you for a wonderful and timeless classic from my youth🙏🌹🌹🌹
I believe that I heard this song before but I only paid true attention to detail of it as of today at this very hour, my soul tie message me from work and is actively showing up has apologize and dedicated this song to me 🙏😊 I am so amazed and glad that we are growing 💗🙏💗. I'm looking forward to every word of this tune. Love again , knowing it never truly left but was stagnated
Sergio Mendes..with an 's' at the end..from exactly thirty-five years ago at a stellar time and a wonderful year. The late spring and the summer of 1983, baby.. :-]
This is a `Boss Song!` The male and female singer interchange works so well in this song and the key changes add the special touch along with the bossa nova beat. Nice , guitar in the bridge too.
saw the legend at his concert in Perth was truly privileged to see the maestro live it was the best show ever thank you Sergio Mendes you and your band were brilliant xx
I used to play this song every night , after work ( with my eyes closed) . I fell relaxed... Mawala jud akong ka kapoy. I never get tired of listening ....again and again....😐😐😐😐
Greatest composer of all time. Sad to say and hear that nobody or not even one composers nor singers can create this kind of music with perfect lyrics and harmony....so sad...
I love this song! Every time I hear it I think of the Michelin Tire Man. I felt so bad for him in that commercial when he had to say goodbye to a tire. But then I felt better, because he had a new tire to love. Great commercial to a classic song!

Apparently, Beato also had someone scrambling to WIkipedia... he's now mentioned there in the entry for this song :D
Rick Beato showing the complexity of the beautiful, now i never gonna forget and i love him for that. Such a great song!
Thanks, Rick.
I see a lot of people here from Beato. I've got mad respect for this song now!
Amazing chord progression. As complex as it is beautiful.
Thanks Rick Beato for bringing this song out my musical vault. I loved it then, but have a new found appreciation for it after your analysis.

Damn you guys Beato me to it.
Lol
Hahahha
Special thanks to Rick beato for showing me this gem of a song
Now off to remember all the key changes
Eey me too.
I have a whole new perspective on this song after learning about modulations
Beato??
@@Vkj007 Kinda yes

Hands up who came here straight after watching Rick Beato?
Yep, I never hear this song anywhere, forgot it existed lol
I actually came here before watching the whole thing (basically as soon as I knew the name). I wanted to see what he was working with first. But I can't believe how well all this chaos works in this song.
yup, right after Rick Beato.
For the people that came for Rick beato. You should check out other Sergio Mendes compositions. He is a genius at fusing Brazilian song structures into a more accessible and mind-blowing combination
You caught me
Sergio didn't write the this song
Musician: "which key is this song?"
Composer: Yes
Composer : Evil Grin ... You gonna suffer a bit ...
This Song Went To Number 4 On The Billboard Hot-100 Chart In 1983.
I dedicate this song to my 1st man that asked me to marry him, 50 years ago., and now we are re-united today. Our love never died. LoveU4ever
Haha. Here from Rick. Lovely song. It's amazing how I can understand every single word in this song.
Can't say the same for today's songs.
how is it possible to dislike this song,it's beyond me....
This song plays at my work ALL THE TIME and its one of the only songs that makes me cry every time it plays. I thought it'd be a great addition to my wedding playlist but after reading the lyrics I guess not!

So many breathtakingly beautiful memories attached to this song and era of time. Why don't they music like this anymore? Who's still loving it in 2019?
Me, Taylor Kendrick. Gonna love this song no matter how many years go by.
Am 48 and will never let this song go
@@ainanrahim8101 Amen
I've heard this song since childhood & it's still worthy at age 48 this day.
You see pop isn't the problem, its the modern music thats at fault for the quality of songs now
The 80s had so many emotional songs. The 80s songs that are emotional, make me say: "This is so touching 😔❤." and "Why is this song making me cry? 😢" But they touch my heart and soul.
Rick Beato brought me here
same here man!
Same here!
Most people commenting now: Rick Beato brought me here.
Me: My parents like this song. Studying the chords and theory led me to Beato's video.
Same here.
Came from Rick Beato gang
yep!
Yesssss
Hell yeah
Me too. But I am having trouble hearing the guitar work here...
Same
Loved this song as a 6 year old in 1983 - I'm now 40 years of age in 2017 and still love it :)
Brandon Quatro same here man 👍🏽
Brandon Quatro i was 9 and also still love it
yeah, same here. .were the same age
I loved this song also
So....Rick Beato sent you here too?
Yep. lol
Yeah
That’s exactly why I came here n tbh idk how 2 feel abt the song, it’s very good but too much n my👂🧠 r a lil confused😅

One of those rare duets which the male vocal hits the higher range. The one and only Joe Pizullo. Gotta love these Sergio Mendes classics.
Men are not supposed to hit them high notes. To me it's suspect when they can
they can sing any note as high as they can if they are capable and worthy
The most complex pop song ever.. According to the legendary Music man Rick Beato 😂
Just watched Rick's video on it a moment ago... I'm definitely gonna troll my wedding band with this song once they ask what's gonna be the first dance xD
He just did a more in-depth breakdown of it again today.
I heard this song in my sleep and couldn’t remember who sung it. I went on iTunes and I wasn’t thinking it was Sergio mendes so I googled the words and thank goodness I found it. Love love love #1 fav
He didn't sing it. He was the bandleader.
This is a great song!
Hi mam god morning po
Hggh
Yes....very good.
great I tell you
I have no veins!
THE greatest love song EVER written!! It always brings me close to tears!!
One of the best classics. I wish that today's music could be this good.
My all time favourite song. I can just put this song on repeat mode the whole day. Let it play over and over again.
This song is definitely a timeless classic of 1983. We played the hell out of it in Air Force basic training in the fall of '83.

They don't make music like this anymore......
That's because suburban brats make up the majority of "musicians" now. They think just owning an expensive guitar makes them brilliant. Um, nope.
eto ung tipong pag pina tugtog sa uv express tpos mlkas ulan, nkatulala k lng sa bintana haha

Such a beautiful song!
Really pissed I've never heard this song before. The voices on this track is just awsome
Hi Beato Army
One of the most breathtakingly beautiful songs of all time.
I was a little girl when this came. I'm glad I was an 80s child.
Same here, sis!!!
I was born in the 80s but i heard this on the Michelin commercial. But i even had the words wrong I thought it said "gonna try to make up for the tires, i love you so never gonna let u go" 😂😂😂
Always loved this song
The man in my life,gave this song to me last night...wow what a Christmas present. What a powrful song and lyrics
This song is just awesome. You will never get tired of listening.

Never realized how complex this song was.
Hearing this Song in 2019 is giving me Flashbacks of 1983 & 84
Reminds me when I was studying in college
so in love with this song, love his voice
He was also handsome in that official
Video for this song too
Beato boy here
We all know why we are here, but can we talk about how this video uploaded in 2010, has 10 million views, and says uploaded 10 years ago.

Looked it up on RUclips, was not disappointed. :-)
Very nice song. Till now year 2020 still listening.
I could listen to this song over and over
EXCELLENT SONG WITH SPLENDID EXTACY!!!
I almost relate to this song..my eyes full of tears!..it so sad..
Yo si lloré me sentí identificado 100% me acaba de pasar

A song that can tear your heart out AND lift your spirits at the same time. WOW!
after 30 years...another chance. I can't believe it.
Hope it works! :)
July 1983 all over again. My junior high years
one of the best songs ive ever heard.There's always a second chance for love and forgiveness.
Nothing beats the classic.
Never gonna stick to a key
Omg. Haven’t thought about this song in so many years! Two bars in... it all comes back!! ❤️
Hot 100 Billboard 1983, still listening in 2017,
80s the best decade ever!!!
I will always listen to this song no matter how old it is. I love all the oldies song
