REACTING TO BRUCE HORNSBY & THE RANGE - THE WAY IT IS (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

[@katherinebosse5706]

I will forever thank God for music and Bruce for this song in particular. Just amazing. ❤️‍🔥 the drum drop!!

[@andersgranstrom7128]

His pianoplaying is still like a drug, you can´t get enough of.....

[@chrisenglert3958]

80% of all rap/hip-hop music is sampled from other artists. I could listen to him play all day. The Steinway Piano's of the 80's are in my opinion the best made and best sounding instrument ever made. Even today, the quality you get is nothing like it was back then.

[@cog4life]

I agree with your first statement. It’s a shame, too. Idk why they call it “sampling”. Why can’t it be called what it is…..

[@mariaarmagnague3482]

Yeeeeesss!!!

[@aerynoftalyn1307]

Bruce Hornsby is a Great One. Songwriter, singer, and one of the greatest rock pianists out there.

[@aflodesigns]

sampling songs shows mutual respect and opens the door to different style of music and culture..breaks barriers of class and color...fu ckin respect

[@PhiliminizzyReacts]

I agree

[@weirdscix]

There's sampling then basically using the whole song with a few lyric changes, which 2pac did

[@donnabruhn6907]

What a great song and fantastic piano playing. Thank you Bruce Hornsby

[@alexakl6445]

I put Bruce Hornsby's piano playing talent up there with Billy Joel and Elton John - and you can't get better than that! Yeah, this song is one of my most favorite songs of the 80's. Epic! And the message is so important - "That's just the way it is, some things will never change - BUT DON'T YOU BELIEVE THEM!"

[@ytowndroog5940]

Song still so relevant!

[@RustyHinge]

Great observation about how the keyboard and piano compliment each other. As beautiful as the piano is, I can't imagine hearing the song without the keyboard playing along. I also love how the drums are so simple, yet effective.

[@michellepodgurski4500]

Love this song!

[@gingers.5933]

Bruce Hornsby is great, check out "Mandolin Rain".

[@theinsightfulvisionary0197]

Yes!!! It is pure perfection!!!

[@toddlower5546]

A lesser known song if you want to hear Bruce really work the piano is "Spider Fingers". It really gets it.

[@dweezil8461]

The song is about black segregation in tge 60s

[@bobschenkel7921]

Bruce Hornsby is my all time favorite person in Rock and Roll, as a musician and as a personality. Seen him live on MANY occasions, with The Range and with the Grateful Dead, both as an opener and as a member. Another great tune from Mr. Hornsby is "The Valley Road".

[@jimfrederick3907]

This is a "Clinic"!

[@perokolendic2103]

You felt it my friend👍✌🤘❤❤

[@steveullrich7737]

Exactly the piano here is just sublime.

[@samuelrossmesa1430]

Classic! Pls also check out their "The Valley Road" and " Mandolin Rain".

[@barbarapatterson9288]

Grew up on this classic. Thx for this great song.

[@mariaarmagnague3482]

I know this group in te 80’s… From Argentinaaa !! A Very Classic al SONG!!

[@astroteech]

This is such an iconic song by Bruce Hornsby with such tasty piano work. Credit belongs where credit is due, and sampler's should fess up.

[@theinsightfulvisionary0197]

His fingers were anointed by God!!! He is brilliant!!!

[@mattplus09]

Enjoyed the reaction :) Good journey...Peace!

[@PhiliminizzyReacts]

Thanks..glad you enjoyed it..thanks for watching

[@gustonzimasheen]

I love the music and dynamic songs of Bruce Hornsby, and his many contributions to other artists, such as Huey Lewis and the News, who recorded his song "Jacobs Ladder". The excellent piano accompaniment on Bonnie Raitt's song "I Can't Make You Love Me", and his own song "Walk In The Sun".

[@PhiliminizzyReacts]

Thanks for the suggestions

[@timetravellingone]

He also played piano on Don Henley's "End of the Innocence"

[@shawnwalford6578]

Some things you have just let go, move on and work on your Dreams.

[@R777-RLM]

Such a good song, and good message.

[@ratdad48]

What good message? I missed something.

[@R777-RLM]

@@ratdad48 Obviously.

[@ratdad48]

Was the message that some people make informed, intelligent decisions and bust their asses to get ahead and accomplish things opposed to mostly the lazy ones that think the world owes them just because they exist

[@terry7375]

It was about racism Which is now more blatant Because some want to keep others back because of their Race No change

[@terry7375]

This is about racism down south in. The sixties The message applies to today Racism Still exists

[@omaramador4669]

No this is States of Mind. Racism, segregation, discrimination are in everywhere. You have to freed your mind for yourself and you could see who’s the problem. You or the rest of the races. Some people are using those States of Mind as a weapon, Head of States, politicians. Too many ignorant people in this world, too many people who doesn’t wanna read books, no newspaper, no news TV, BOOKS. While you are fighting each other, many millions of immigrants coming from overseas and living and working in America. Just look around you what do you have and what you don’t have. Start to educate yourself and you are going to see the light.

[@johnm506]

The word sample is another word for theft basically if you don’t have your own talent then steal someone’s that does. Mix up and then try to pass it off as your own to a generation that knows no better

[@my1_ball615]

I grew up in the 1980s and I think we got along better back then but I know we had some stuff wrong

[@chrislc35]

tupac whole version is a remake of this basically.

[@stevenmonte7397]

If you wanna be blown away by crisp headphone sounds, do Snarky Puppy - What About Me? It’s a collection of top notch musicians. Drummer is top 5 ever. Everything thing they do pushes boundaries.

[@jeffstevens4262]

When people say Tupac 'sampled' this song, do they mean he stole it?

[@neilwilliams4684]

If Bruce didn't get some serious royalties, yes.

[@robertsaaf1467]

Tupac got permission from Bruce Hornsby to sample this song in Changes and to respond to this song in his and carried the message forward that things still need to change. But if you listen to Hornsby's lyrics, he was trying to say this with the key line being "but don't you believe them"

[@kylewagner3052]

Sampled is a nice word for remake. Both versions send a great message. The piano skills are pure talent.
