#Aerosmith #WhatItTakes

[@Paulzpc]

Many years ago I fell hard for the love of my life, we outgrew each other it was sad, I always blamed myself, so many fights over stupid things we just couldn't get anything right one night she walked away when I hear this song even today 2022 I get that lump in my throat, It was my fault, in 2019 I got a message from an old friend that she had passed away she had a heart attack when they cleaned out her belongings in her nightstand they found an old photo of her and I at the fair, it was taken so many years ago....this year will be the last time I come back to this song, it's just too much pain for me.

[@user-pf3ji3cb8r]

I‘m Japanese and this is my favorite song of all time. I met this song when I was in Junior high. Since then, I started memorize lyrics of songs from Aerosmith. That's how I learned English! Thank you Aerosmith!

[@natashabrown2013]

Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night without thinking you lost everything that was good in your life to the toss of the dice. That line has haunted me for many years.

[@bravestarr8857]

"And you're back on the street, like you didn't miss a beat - Yeah!". Brilliant... Aerosmith are amazing.

[@jimjohnson3549]

Definitely written by someone who has had their heart broken. I can't think of another heartbreak song with better lyrics. "Tell me that your body doesn't miss my touch. Tell me that my loving didn't mean that much. Tell me you ain't dying when you're crying for me." Just perfectly sums up the pain of loss.

[@lindasmolansky9592]

[@Sindollx666x]

I do agree that Aerosmith kills at heartbreak songs. The bands Garbage, H.I.M.x Nine Inch Nails, have some pretty killer heartbreak songs for sure too though.

[@HigzyTeflon]

Most people, including Aerosmith's biggest fans, have no idea what a complete and true masterpiece this song track is. It may take listening to 1000 times, but once you see the inner-workings of "What it Takes," you have this "holy shit" moment when you realize the magnitude of its complexity. Desmond Child together with Joe Perry and Steven Tyler created this magic and I literally feel sad for anyone who hasn't a clue as to what I'm going on about here because it means they have never REALLY heard this song for what it is -- A true musical masterpiece.😎

[@kevinharper2884]

It's their most sober most amazing best of the best They were in the zone only a handful of bands ever dream about. Amazing track front to back

Great!

[@augustgirl]

30 mf'ing yrs old this song is. OMG. I remember it like yesterday, always watching MTV waiting for this video. Damn, to be 16 years old again. Frick yeah.

[@scyther.4143]

One of my favorite aerosmith songs. What a master piece!

[@Mike_oliver1313]

It’s even better live

[@nagee76]

An absolute masterpiece.. Aerosmith sang some of the greatest rock ballads ever.. this art is sadly lost now. Thanks for the memories!!

[@markrussell9088]

Definite, couldn't agree more.

[@jasonmitchell31680]

Amen 🙏

[@noahpietraroia2907]

if u watch some of his recent concerts, he still sounds incredible for his age and hits most of the screams. idk what ur talking about

[@eljeffe7472]

I think this is one of the songs they created after getting sober. An inspiration for me to turn a page and do the same.

[@LucianoRenanOfficial]

That 'Fm' chord in 03:37 blows my mind... oh, that's awesome!

[@riccimel]

It gets me every time, too!

[@adamwilliam2882]

Great ear

[@pepo-c9793]

Bokiabierto te dejaron la cola

[@jarrodheglar1666]

Definitely the greatest instrumental and vocal performance of their career....hands down!!!

[@denisek.543]

Favorite Aerosmith song.

[@1975thekitty]

This song helped wit through soberity 28 years clean

[@dixiejo3437]

Probably my favorite!

[@markadams9976]

+Dixie Woods it is a great song , and trully a great band

[@dixiejo3437]

+Mark Adams Agreed! I used to feel this way about my ex. Had a hard time letting go. Music has helped me through a lot in my life. Aerosmith is one of the best bands ever I think.

[@markadams9976]

thats why ive stayed single after me and my ex went our ways

[@dixiejo3437]

+Mark Adams I can't blame ya there. Love is a bitch I know first hand. I haven't gave up on love tho. I moved on and met my guy that I've been with for over 4 years now. Love found me when I gave up on it.

[@johnwick5894]

I hope it's possible to find love again. I'm gone if it ain't.

[@spencercatoe8779]

One of my favorite songs of all time, this hits different on the road by the way with windows down, and it really is Steven Tyler's voice that got me hooked on this band 😆🤘

[@Mike_oliver1313]

It’s even better live

[@WilliamOdum-mi2yo]

I guess all those promises is what used to bug me but I’m getting through it now anyways good luck

[@northerniltree]

This is why I never get into a bar fight without an accordion.

[@AmericanHothead]

So, you're the accordion guy! You owe me a beer and I owe you a broken knuckle!

[@Gernansky]

[@pavluxaemelyanov1517]

[@Cordova4444]

They have to know that they recorded one of the greatest rock and roll songs of all time here. Unbelievable!

[@capergal1360]

Best Aerosmith song ever!!! Amazing vocal performance!!!

[@GREG62944]

This is a great song.

[@clferg01]

Most heart-wrenching song ever. Perfectly sums up my 'one that got away' :(

[@gustavogomesdossantos5599]

Ótima musica perfeita desde 1987 quando eu tinha 17 anos de idade já curtia Aerosmith e sempre vou curtir Aerosmith para sempre

[@1970boobear]

The "Peace Out" announcement brought me here... thanks for some amazing musical memories, Aerosmith! ❤

[@martinbaldassari4326]

Para mi gusto el mejor tema de Aerosmith, sin desmerecer otros tantos grandes exitos...

[@maggieroc7696]

lo mismo opino👌

[@armandodaza6052]

Tienes razón, es un muy buen tema, hoy lo he escuchado una y otra vez y sigue sonando igual, nunca aburre esta música.

[@krlospinoza8324]

La volví a encontrar... Llego a mi en los 90s,en caseta. pero creo que en este video la recortan...

[@diegohermosilla8699]

Buen tema muy bueno pero DETRAS de Amazing y Crying

[@danok-olateral924]

Hermoso temaaa,una balada indestructible q perdura a traves de los tiempos,aguante Aerosmith 🇦🇷💪

[@deeanna5814]

Someone sang this to me back in the day. Complicated back story on his end. Will always remember him with a smile on my face

[@oryanbegay7856]

Must've been a cool guy...

[@ARJ11569]

Been waiting a long time to seen theses guys in concert. When I get my chance. Covid fucks everything up.

[@lisalaursen3684]

Aerosmith was my very first concert. I always loved their music but after seeing them live I became a super fan for life. They’re the real deal. Amazing vocals, musicians and song writers. Just iconic legends who have inspired so many people. 🔥❤️😍

[@stewstew6259]

Same! First concert ever. I think it was 1990 during the Pump tour. Always been a fan ever since. Joey Kramer was the reason I started playing drums-inspiring for an impressionable 12 yr old. My room was adorned with Aerosmith posters. Steve and Joe were-are-one of the coolest mofos to ever grace a stage!

[@GREG62944]

I wonder if I'll ever put a band together again. Just do solo sax or youtube videos today.

[@Youtbue01]

His performances for Howard Stern’s birthday were awesome Excellent live performer

[@vitalecarman357]

My first concert too 1976 Philadelphia pa opened with The JAWS theme,broke into back in the saddle, Steve Tyler came flying over Joe Kramers drum kit in mid air , landed on stage below Kramers drums Screaming "I'm Baccccccc kkkk! I've never seen anything like it at a show ,he was like 12 ft in the Air ,I was 16 Jaws opening theme was goosebumps Rick derringer was with them what a show for 20$ life was Good 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@vitalecarman357]

​@@stewstew6259 keep on Rocking bro it's all about the Jam inspiration to just do something,it's all Good

[@cesarcarabajal342]

Desde los 16años que los escucho...hoy con 42años ya padre y esposo de familia sigo escuchando a los chicos malos de Boston...una gran banda y una gran canción

[@jackiemasci9006]

This is song that made me fell in love with Aerosmith! And I've loved them for 30 years now!#Aerosmith ❤

[@tamsmith291]

One of the best bands… ever

[@blaineedwards8078]

This song is utterly lame compared to their stuff from the 70's, back when they rocked hard and were high as f@#k....

[@GREG62944]

Hope I can get some good music going too

[@markr9640]

One of the few bands that can do a change of key, and the result is to lift the song even higher...

[@lillygirl34]

Anyone ever count all the "let it go's" at the end?? The best song..

[@andersonmorais3628]

3000x

[@bigjwhitesmiles3870]

"tell me who's to blame me for thinking twice, Cause I don't wanna burn in paradise" best line of the whole song

[@Leesa1303]

this tune still hits....

[@gisala1000]

I was a broken hearted bartender back when this song came out. I used to stock the jukebox with quarters and turn this up to full blast, over and over again... Singing and crying

[@ythinder]

This is an Aerosmith classic, one of their best

[@iYutaChannel]

Still listening in 2018!

This has been my favourite song since the 90’s. Don’t see that ever changing 🙌

[@matthewsolina4920]

When they go to that F minor with the harmonies it’s my favorite part.

[@mario3mmelero571]

Deep inside there's always somebody that we haven't let go regardless...
