The release date of this song was Aug 7, 1990. My wife and I as teenagers started dating in the summer of ‘91. I was 17 she was 19. She really liked this song. I played guitar since I was a kid. I secretly learned to play this song for her. When I played it for her I told her I learned it just for her and she cried. We are 45 and 47 years old now and have been together since 1991! This is our song. Still today I’ll pick up my guitar and start playing it out of the blue for her. She still gets a tear because she knows when I play this song there are no words but she knows I love her.

Another example of a hard rock band doing a mellow song. Love this!!

A timeless masterpiece of honest, real singing and acoustic guitar. Ages like a fine wine.

This song is harder vocally than most people think. So many flips from head voice to chest voice to a mix and keeping time for the harmony.

I remember when this was popular ... and i was SO different from everything else being played on rock stations. their harmonies are beautiful.

Perfect reaction to a beautifully written and performed song! It gives me chills everytime. Flawless.

Love your reaction!! Beautiful - powerful -awesome song.

This was one of those songs that signalled the end of the 'hair bands'. Suddenly those bands had to 'prove their worth' by releasing acoustic songs. Mr Big, Tesla, Extreme... it became a very successful formula for a year or so.

I was a teen in the 90's and while I was only 11 or 12 when it first came out, it was such a great song and stayed so relevant that I was a total sucker for it! Loved this song! Not sure if it is as big as it once was, I suppose not but it is still relevant and if you don't have it on a playlist somewhere, you are missing out!

One of my favorite songs when I was teenager. Simple song and to the point.

GIRL, I LOVE WITNESSING YOU DISCOVER GREAT MUSIC! Passion provokes emotions. Music makes me cry because its beautiful and the lyrics are magical.

You know the song is incredible when at the end you're left speechless and emotional.

What you heard was what every man feels looking at the woman he loves. But most of us don't know how to say it in a way that gives those feelings justice. So Extreme did it for us.

It sucks that the official video cut off the rad ending but it doesn’t detract from how epic this ballad was and how well it has aged. Nuno is a guitar virtuoso and you should check out their song Get the Funk Out. Thanks Sushi for playing songs from the soundtrack of my youth!

I graduated in ‘94 and this was the best song at school dances for the slow dancing 🥴

#TooSushi ... It was/is a great Song... Well Done... Great Songs - Crossover... Entered Billboards 100 in March 1991 at 81 and then when straight to #1... You couldn't turn on the Radio for a Hour without hearing this song 4 times... Heavy Rotation in songs form and MTV/VH1 wore this song out in Video form... I never was a fan of this band; but this song was a HIT!!!

You have a very empathetic heart! So rare these days! Love your insight on these songs!!

The completely acapella version is AWESOME!

The first time I heard this song was on MTV long ago, I fell Instantly in Love. It's So True too.

Gary cherone, the lead singer said, this song was written from his wife's perspective.... He said like she was singing to him. BTW.. Saw them in 1991,austin tx at the BACKROOM!

This song, this version has always made me tear up🥺

Haven't heard that song in years. Such a wholesome and sweet song 💙

just discovered your channel, and from one empath to another, I could never do a channel like this, you'd see more tears, and it would be hard for me to actually speak! I sit in my garage, most evenings and just listen to music, and get lost in that music, and much water seeps from my eyes, as most of the music I listen to is from back in 'my' day, when love songs and love 'rock' ballads were the norm.

I remember I gave my girlfriend and my wife of 18+ years this tape back in 91’. This is our song back in high school.

can't stop thinking about when Jack Black and Jimmy Fallon did this song lol. good song.

As a fellow Empath & Sensitive I can relate. Despite having heard this song many times since it came out, I still get goosebumps. ✌🙏

This is real music from the heart.In this millennium none such feel and connection could compared from the old school vibes.We need this in times of hard times the world is going through right now!

Hi Sis. I'm so happy to be on this journey with you as you discover new and different music. I was like you are with rap back in the day, except I was a 60's and 70's rock guy. Now I like everything from rap to folk music. There is just way to much talent in the world to stay on one thing. At least that's what I think anyway.

I love this song so much, my dad always used to play it when I was little and now that I'm growing up and getting older I am starting to fully appreciate just how beautiful it is

Listening to this song with you made me feel like i was hearing it for the first time! Love your heart! You brought me joy today, THANKS!

My fave tune I was 13 when this hit the charts lol I'm 40 now feel old lol

Extreme is one of my favorite bands and I loved your reaction! It's nice to see music move people like that! Keep up the good work! Very enjoyable! Be blessed!

Beautiful song, Beautiful harmony and guitar. " I Love You " is easy to say. The actions of love is proof of I love you. Don't just say it. Show me. I love this song it simplifies what love is all about. Two people know if they're loved with just how they treat each other. Another beautiful reaction.

Such a beautiful reaction to Extreme! Love that you’re an empath! So happy I found your channel!!

If you have never heard of Extreme or this song you probably don't know that Gary Cherone (on the left/white shirt) was the lead vocalist for the band Van Halen for a few years in the 90's. He followed the two prior vocalists David Lee Roth & Sammy Hagar. This song showcases Extreme's beautiful harmonies. RIP Eddie Van Halen 1/26/55 - 10/6/20 - Rock legend & guitarist.

Jack Black and Jimmy Fallon did a version of this song. They paid tribute to it and also made us laugh in the nicest way. Of course, the original was very beautifully done.

You feel what the song is saying. You have an empathic heart! A very good thing!!

If you like harmony you should listen to the Everly Brothers let it be me it's a very old song but a very beautiful song.

Mr Bigs "To Be With you" You will enjoy

I saw them in concert. That man sat on his chair right in front of me singing this song. I wouldn't trade that experience for almost anything in the world.

It was the early 90s and these dudes created an acoustic guitar revival amongst metal and rock musicians. After this, everyone had to do an " acoustic ballad". A particularly good one is "Holding on" by WASP.

I believe it's because i miss my ex who was the one that dedicated this masterpiece back when we were going through fights and break ups. They both also put a lot of feeling into the song, it's something you cannot describe with words, you just feel it.
