Can't get enough of John. His music will always stand the test of time. I am always transported back to the good ole days. So much feeling and depth !!

[@quinny6920]

Yes yes and yes

[@marymiller4494]

This was my brother's favorite Mellencamp song. We lost him today to cancer so this must have been some kind of Providence that you reacted to this song today. It is one of John Mellencamp's best and I'm loving how much you love this song too. ✨❤️

May his memory be a blessing...💜

Oh wow, deepest condolences to you and your family. May he sleep in eternal peace🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️

[@FXMAN66]

So sorry for your loss!

[@dipsydoodle7988]

You will never get tired of John. He’s got an endless supply of songs like this. Still waiting for Crumbling Down, Rain on the Scarecrow, Authority Song and R.O.C.K in the USA. It’s so cool because I get nostalgic listening to his music because it just takes me back to the time these songs were constantly in the radio. You guys get nostalgic thinking about reminiscing in the future. That’s pretty heavy. It hasn’t even happened yet and you already feel it! Amber straight up had me tearing tonight. 😢❤

Minutes to Memories

[@JaneSmith-lu8ol]

Good picks. Also Rumbleseat.

[@mikemaricle9941]

@@brianmcmaster5112 YES!!!

[@donnabruton7947]

Paper in Fire and so many more

[@dolphinbear661]

Rain on the Scarecrow is his most poignant, but I can't listen to it without sobbing. My late Dad was a farm supplier during the crisis and my family lost almost everything at that time. God Bless the farmers. Thank you, John.

[@josephdurham6051]

"paper and fire", "scarecrow", and "R.O.C.K in the USA" are three songs you definitely need to hear. Some of his best in my opinion

[@dougieyou]

they are 3 great ones, i would love to see them react too as well...also "When Jesus Left Birmingham" is great.

[@brianmcmaster5112]

Minutes to Memories

[@rhondaseskevics1085]

Agreed! These three are a must, especially Paper and Fire!

[@bigchief5023]

John is a true American Treasure. Wish we could all just live in the picture he paints with his voice.

[@medmar76]

"Paper In Fire" is another fiddle-driven hit off the "Lonesome Jubilee" album that gave you Check It Out and Cherry Bomb. Mellencamp tells wonderful stories, and while it's not a hit single, "Minutes To Memories" is probably one of his most amazing songs.

[@gregfagan199]

The Lonesome Jubilee is Mellencamp's best work, in my opinion. Love the accordion and fiddle-driven sound that runs throughout the album.

[@julietate7806]

Mine, too, Greg Fagan.

[@diamondchild2]

Scarecrow, lonesome jubilee, and my fave big daddy. The perfect trifecta

[@aks4204]

He sounds great live in concert.

[@ebenclukey7293]

john did the music thing begrudgingly. He's an intensely private guy. He spends most of his time in his art studio and he is truly a very talented artist. He has one of my favorite quotes. He said "I have but only so many moons left, and I intend not to spend them getting old."

[@lindsaywillis7205]

This song ,small town , and cherry bomb are my absolute favorites by him .. he's awesome ❤️😎

[@leannewilson7184]

[@alibabaoofandangle]

*Facts.*

[@griffcrammond6640]

You can't have a real Midwest rock group without a fiddle and an accordion. John hits my 'feels' hard with his lyrics. Mellencamp is among the greatest...

[@ruthhamilton4882]

Don't forget the hammered dulcimer and his ability to use the word "escrow" in lyrics...awesomeness

[@tomrwills]

The older I get, the more I love this song. I am 34 but have listened to him as long I can remember. Always loved his stuff but now that I really listen to the lyrics, it makes his songs even better.

[@marlew6629]

Someday this song will be remembered as classic. John Mellancamp was at the top of his game here: as a singer songwriter, and performer. This video does an incredible job of capturing his vibe and emotional pull of the lyrics.

[@nunuvyabusiness8550]

This one of my favorites. I also love “Authority Song” and “Ain’t even done with the night”.

[@MissAstorDancer]

I'm so very thrilled that you guys are digging John! He is SUCH an amazing and unique rabbit hole, and practically nobody does reactions to him! He BRINGS it!

[@Triggerhippie70]

Everything about John Mellencamp is amazing. Listen, I was born January 1970 so I was a pre-teen/teen in the 80s which by the way is the best time to be that! Anyway, John Mellencamp was big in my house because my mom was crazy about him so we listened to him a lot! The man is brilliant. By the way, I was 17 when they filmed this.

[@toddmichelfelder3417]

Thank you!!! I was there!! Two rows to the right of the stage!!! Always amazing!!👏👏

[@petercourtien4581]

That’s awesome. I saw him at Giants Stadium in NJ on this tour. So great!

[@toddmichelfelder3417]

@@petercourtien4581 I have seen him 8 times, most of them in the old Market Square Arena. Being from a small town 20 minutes south of Indy his music really hit home!

[@matthewteague623]

This is my favorite Mellencamp song of all time, bar none. That long note on the fiddle that breaks the pause.... chills, every time.

[@kimalexander8466]

Mine too!

[@angelajakem366]

I love his music. I was lucky to see him on his first album tour in 1983.

[@bradsullivan2495]

He does offer a darker take on the plight of farmers with his great song, "Rain on the Scarecrow." There's also "Crumblin' Down" or a song that might be a Sunday pump-up song since it represents defiance--"The Authority Song." All three would be great reactions to watch.

[@johnthorne4093]

Amber and Jay, I so appreciated your comments on “Check It Out”. I think it is Mellencamp’s masterpiece. Amber, you mentioning that you are in the gold, the best times of your life right now, brought tears to my eyes. God bless you and your family.

[@robertg7396]

I think you guys hit the nail on the head...life, is found within those "core memories". It's not about how big your house is, what kind of job you have, or the car you drive. None of those matter. Life is seeing your children grow, learn, laugh. Its from their first steps, to the steps they take, as you walk them down the aisle. Letting them go, knowing you did all you could, to give them the best life possible, and to carry on your teachings and wisdom. To continue the legacy of life. *Alan Jackson has a song that describes it perfectly. It's called "Remember When". If you react to this, trust me, you'll "both" need to keep the tissues nearby! 😊❤

[@jasoncaldwell5627]

Probably my favorite Mellencamp song- the lyrics are amazing and the music really hooks you. John Mellencamp seems like the guy you'd want as a next door neighbor.

[@johnthorne4093]

Amber, when you spoke “our core memories”, about the little, but vitally important, things in a person’s life, I was really touched.

[@anthonyfoster6742]

Simply put - Just a great song...

[@billofalltrades2633]

You can't go wrong with him! Such a great artist with a lot of awesome songs to choose from!

[@ronaldgines171]

[@db4982]

One of John Mellencamp's songs you have to get to is 'Paper in Fire.' Check it out! 🙂

[@westfester859]

That band was tight through the 80's and 90's, saw them in 87. Lisa Germano brought a great sound with the violin, she would later release numerous albums. John is an amazing painter as well, and still putting out the tunes.

[@jeffpeterson6959]

He's just singing about small town life. We can all relate. Yes he uses the accordion in lots of songs and it works! Great live version.

[@hayleynadel6808]

Yes, yes Paper in Fire!! I've been meaning to recommend it to you both for a while. Please "check it out" 😉 such an awesome jam song. The kind you blast in the car when it comes on the radio!! Can't wait for that reaction! Godspeed to you both and your beautiful family!

[@rowan2285]

Great Mellencamp song. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE play "Paper and Fire." As the name indicates, it is fire! Down home country jam.

[@mediaserver8265]

That would be 'Paper In Fire', to be pedantic. In fact, just play the entire 'Lonesome Jubilee' album end to end. A stone cold classic.

[@rowan2285]

@@mediaserver8265 Thanks for the correction, I haven't heard the song in awhile but remember loving it. 😁

[@kathleendoorley4903]

This is one of my top favorite songs. He did this when I saw him in concert and I cried.

[@Shrykespeare]

Great choice by JCM. I would love you to do his tribute to 60s rock, "R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A". Other bangers include "Paper in Fire", "Lonely Ol' Night", "Crumblin' Down", "Pop Singer", and "Jackie Brown". And yes, this is your seventh song of his. One "heartland rock" band you should check out is John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band, who had big hits like "On the Dark Side", "Tough All Over", "Tender Years", "C-I-T-Y', and my personal fave, "Voice of America's Sons."

[@Cindrbell]

All of the above!!!!

[@jeanstrickland2445]

To me he’s just an all American singer, songs of a simpler life , love of country, and where he comes from. Jmo

[@robrichards585]

I have seen mellencamp 4 times here in Australia dating back to the ‘lonesome jubilee’ album, he is the 2nd best live performer I have ever seen coming 2nd to our Australian legend jimmy barnes

[@lindamcnamara7803]

I love the line “ seventeen has turned thirty five “. I’m such a fan seen him in concert twice in the early 80s. His lady back ground singers came from Bob Seaver. Great choice guys

[@rachellavely4049]

This gives me SO MUCH nostalgia! I was born in the early 80s, in Indianapolis! Mellencamp is our hometown hero since he lives in Indiana. I grew up listening to his records and they have so much more meaning now as an adult and especially a parent.

[@marybaillie8907]

Can't go wrong with John Cougar. Just an amazing artist with a passion for people and preserving the past. His songs encompass the spirits of what once was. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️🇨🇦 🇨🇦

[@patriotic510]

I couldn't agree with you more Mary!!🇨🇦

[@denroy3]

Mellencamp, even he doesn't like Cougar.

[@dolphinbear661]

Mmmmmmm, maple syrup.

[@paulcwalina7910]

Mellencamp is under-appreciated and is one of the greatest songwriters of our time. 'Minutes to Memories' 'Key West Intermezzo' 'Save Some Time to Dream' 'Rain on the Scarecrow' 'Between a Laugh and a Tear' 'Grandview' 'Authority Song' 'Full Catastrophe of Life' 'I'm Not Running Anymore' 'A Ride Back Home' Too many to list but that's a start.

[@MrsScootsey]

I was at that concert! They filmed this video after the concert was over. They asked everyone to stay to record it.John is amazing storyteller!

[@SaltyDog1967]

I was too. He split his pants when he did the splits the first time he sang it.

[@MrsScootsey]

@@SaltyDog1967 I think I remember that. Didn’t they have to do another take of it?

[@SaltyDog1967]

Yes like you said they did it again a the end. They tried to film it during the middle of the concert but since he ripped his pant he asked everyone to stay so they could shoot it again.

[@MrsScootsey]

@@SaltyDog1967 it’s all coming back to me now. I was in high school and up at the top of the arena..lol

[@SaltyDog1967]

I was 20 and went with my best friend. We had crappy seats too. He did 4 shows in 4 nights and this was the second show. I went back for show number 4 with my fiancé who is now my wife. Same crappy seats as the second show

My favorite John Mellencamp song. When the violin breaks in, in the middle does it for me. The whole song is memorable. Thank you John

He was always one of my favorites! His song Cherry Bomb 🍒💣 brings back the one and only time I danced on a bar table🤣😂 Good times!

Ok, we have to approve of this particular live version. Performed very well and close to the studio recording.

[@gregfagan199]

I'm pretty sure it is the studio version with concert footage edited in.

[@mikebetts2046]

@@gregfagan199 I'm pretty sure it is not the studio version. I've have listened to that version many times. There are some very specific tonal differences, apparent within just the first thirty seconds or so.

That's those down-home values nurtured in the heartland we so love about John Mellencamp.

[@robertrouse4503]

John's here in my state of Indiana. I've met him a few times. That accordian player was a good friend of mine named John Cassella. He died of a heart attack driving back from a boxing match. That saddened many of us. I knew his guitar player, Rick Bennick RIP. My band played for his bass player, Toby Meyers' wedding reception. Many musicians here in Indiana know each other. It's a tight community. Oh, and Lisa Germano of Fiddle.

[@paulabarber5590]

This song just gave me chills.

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

That one line was actually.."You can't tell your best buddy that you love him". Tongue and cheek statement about foolish pride.. when it comes to expressing love.

Rain on the Scarecrow is another great song from JM.

[@dolphinbear661]

That one always makes me cry

[@lynnschnekenburger7270]

There are so many beautiful, thought provoking, bring a tear to your eye, songs by John Mellencamp. Yet, he can still make you get up, dance and sing your heart out, no matter how lousy you sound!! 😂 I remember the first time I heard him on the radio - it started a love affair that never ended. Just a few of my favourites: Jackie Brown, Junior, Love and Happiness, When Jesus Left Birmingham, Key West Intermezzo, Dance Naked.... the list is as endless as the man's talent.

[@jimcvca]

There are tons of great John Mellencamp songs. He's a great songwriter and performer. I'd like to suggest a song from his later years, "Key West Intermezzo (I Saw You First)". No one ever mentions it but it is one of my favorites (of many favorites of his!).

[@bobjoy5848]

loved what you said at the end amber. a perfect song to reflect back on is remember when by alan jackson. you should listen to this song. you will cry though. maybe the best song ever written. please listen. thanks guys

[@billhowe5921]

His drummer, Kenny Aronoff, who he’s had in his band for decades, is also a studio musician for other artists. He is so underrated and has some of the greatest beats you’ve ever heard.

[@jimhogan2443]

Grew up in Indiana. I was at this show. You never go wrong with John. He’s authentic. Just a small town guy who is a great artist. Any song, any time.

Got to see this tour live. No pyro, no flashing lights, no lasers. Just the man, his band, and their songs. I'll never forget it.

[@lindadixon4341]

How could you NOT like JCM? He was one of my Idols back in the 90's and thought I went to heaven when I met him at a CD signing! Always LOVE his music and his Don't give a crap attitude, just being true to himself. Btw, do you know how much he supports the American farmers in this country? He has been a part of "Farm Aid" along with Willie Nelson, Neil Young and others for years! He was born in a small town, Seymour, Indiana, and still lives there........Never one for the Hollywood scene and is just a regular guy who supports the working class people....

[@ldj00]

Another great hit from the album “Lonesome Jubilee” along with “Cherry Bomb” which you previously reviewed. More wonderful memories of 1987-88 😀 My favorite is “The Authority Song”- you will love it!

[@davidparan]

This song was the soundtrack to my last years of HS and meant a lot to me. Still does. Saw him live in ‘86 and ‘87 - among the best concerts I ever saw.

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

One of my favorite songs ..especially from John Mellencamps Music Library's many tracks. Thank you so much.

[@Reyne-fb7mj]

So glad you reacted to this song as I haven't heard it in years and always loved it. I love the fiddle parts -- to me it has an Irish vibe in this song. I also love the accordion and guitar. This song is truly a masterpiece from beginning to end. I saw John perform in 1983 when he was the opening act for Heart. I sat on the aisle and at one point he went into the audience right by me. I have never forgotten how absolutely striking his blue eyes are. I saw him a second time in the late 90s with a good friend.We used to drive around playing his music and singing along. Good times.

[@tammydean3003]

At one point in his career he went by John Cougar Mellencamp. He now a days shares his life with actress Meg Ryan. Check out Paper In Fire, Ain't Even Done With The Night and Wild Night that was also done by Van Morrison.

[@scottsopher6825]

Two quotes of his I like to use are: "An honest man's pillow is his peace of mind" (Minutes to Memories) and "Without hope, without love you've got nothin but pain, just makes a man not give a damn" (Empty Hands).So many good songs. I was going to start listing them but I'll just say, pick one, you can't wrong.

Great choice, love Mellencamp. "Paper and Fire" and "Lonely Ol Night" are two more good ones you should "check out".

[@pyroman6000]

You guys are on a roll!! LOVE Mellencamp. Aside from this one, I'd have to say Minutes to Memories; Rain on the Scarecrow, What if I came knockin'; and rumbleseat are my faves, but they are ALL good. Hurt So Good came out when I was in middle school, and I saved my allowance and went out and bought the album. That was back when he was called John Cougar. Stuff like this and Seger are known as heartland rock.

[@brianmcmaster5112]

I just said if you like story songs,do Minutes to Memories

[@pc6709]

I think the best way to describe John Mellancamp is Heartland Rock. He's always been one of my favorites.

[@jeffreyflint6286]

Top notch rock and roll. John has got the it that only the great ones have!

Have always loved me some John Mellencamp from way back in the early 80's when I was a kid. Now that I'm older, I am able to really appreciate the lyrics of his songs. A lot of his stuff is really deep. I have always preferred Mellencamp's music over Bruce Springsteen's. I guess I'm weird.

[@teresajarrell452]

I enjoy both, but to each his own! You do you! 👍😃❣️😃👍

[@TamiThePinkHairedGirl]

He is an amazing storyteller.

[@tomflores4268]

So you want more Mellencamp? How about a peppy pop/rock tune with a positive messages and it's a duet with India.Arie. A hidden gem in IMHO, something a little different than what you're used with the Coug'. The song is "Peaceful World", check it out! BTW, loving you guys, great job!

[@dougm5697]

I first heard this song when I was in my mid thirties raising our two children. Now I’m 71 and a grandpa. It is still a poignant reminder of how quickly life goes by. We have those core family moments. On Father’s Day my son called me and told me how he followed my example in a moment with his daughter. Check it out!

I reckon you two are amazing parents and your children are so fortunate to have you. Family is the foundation and backbone of society! Life is made up of a million little memories. Never forget to celebrate the little moments that go so fast, but create memories that last forever! To me, John Melloncamp just personifies America and freedom.
