Soo sad! Richard Marx - Hazard (Official Video) | REACTION

[@Erikalynn1977]

Best story telling in a music video ♥️ Another classic I loved this I think the cop did it and tried to frame Richard This song was haunting to me and still is

[@RedDawnRocker]

I love how he leaves us with not just one or two possibilities but a bunch of them. Did the sheriff (Robert Conrad) do it to frame him? Was his deputy the young guy who was fooling around with/taking advantage of his GF? Did he kill her? Was it someone else in town she was fooling around with/being taken advantage by who killed her for unrelated reasons? Did the sheriff actually frame him or did he actually believe he did it? Then there are the other two possibilities ... was she a victim of an accident or suicide or more importantly ... did Richard's character actually do it himself? I absolutely love when a video gives you options to think on. For me, I thought it was most likely the deputy since he saw a younger guy in the car with her and he was the one to bust into his place stuffing a gun right in his face. He'd also be close enough/trustworthy enough to the sheriff to keep the fires burning. This video was just pure genius.

[@seybass27]

It is still a mystery to this day! Based on a true crime from Hazard, Nebraska! I live 20 minutes from there!

[@carriechilds9475]

Watch part 2, some pieces come together

[@Rhube13]

100 percent - completely agree. I always thought the cop did it.

[@Rhube13]

@@seybass27 It's not, unfortunately - Marx had the whole song written and then went looking for towns in Nebaska with two syllable names.

[@randyping6036]

I'm an old punk rocker, but even I respect his talent as a song writer. I can't even count how many hit songs he wrote it co-wrote for others. Richard is a Heckuva nice guy too. 43 seconds ago

[@fordhouse8b]

His house burned down when he was six, and everyone thought he set the fire. That is why they thought there was something wrong with him, and that is why everyone told Mary she should be afraid of him. It is also why they set his trailer on fire after she died.

[@time2chill121]

People don't understand the pain

[@lanaprowse3269]

Actually it says in the start of the video my mother came to hazard when I was just seven not six

[@knew3355]

Wow I haven’t thought of this song in years, I loved it so much back in the day! Thanks for the memory India!

[@ajs41]

The best song Richard Marx has ever written.

[@Tabris93]

This song came out when I was 14 years old. The lyrics hit me first time I heard it. You are the first one I've seen reacting to it - and actually listening to the lyrics.

[@TheTheblackraven]

My absolute favourite Richard Marx song, I always thought it was the cop if you notice him always watching her. So sad, love your hair short btw x

[@teresaf4454]

Love everything this guy writes! Richard Marx is an awesome talent and is STILL coming up with great hits!

[@Finians_Mancave]

If I'm not mistaken the actor playing the cop @3:05 is Robert Conrad, who starred in the original Wild Wild West and Baa Baa Black Sheep..

[@melissakrueger461]

I have always loved his voice and I always thought he was sexy.

[@No1KCfan6]

i strongly agree with the latter.

[@suzawilo]

He was my first MTV crush 💖

[@kenyonsgirl415]

Still is!! 😍

[@allierazaktisu]

Yeah, Mary was blind to not have hit that

[@ReallyBadSeed]

Between this song and "Right Here Waiting", I've enjoyed Richard Marx's music for a long time.

[@NinjaIntheMatrix188]

I love your reactions! So genuine, and you have so much ntelligence and empathy! This song is haunting and so beautiful. I think he set his house on fire out of anger after his dad left. I don't think he killed his mom cuz he said he and her moved to Hazard at the age of 7. I personally always thought the cop killed her. He was obviously obsessed with her. He then framed the boy that loved her. I think he ran away at the end. Just so beautifully sad disturbing, but man the music is mesmerizing and so is his voice. Great story too. Hopefully nobody gets murdered like that.

[@ownyourcrazy8734]

This was a massive number 1 hit in Australia in 1990.

[@ajs41]

Being pedantic but I think it was a bit later than 1990, like 1992.

[@Treasacello]

Thank you! I'd forgotten how much I love this song.

[@100aceswid]

Looking beautiful!

[@redxsage]

First time hearing this song. Like many songs by *Richard Marx,* it is.. bittersweet. I like it.

[@kelliefish6259]

This was a good one from Richard Marx

[@coolguy54life99]

So so sad

[@BRIDINC1972]

First song my husband and I danced to in the disco the night we met. We've been married 25 yrs with 3 kids now all in their 20s

[@colleenmahony8803]

The intentional ambiguity, the movie-like feel of the video...this was some great stuff. I've re-established my relationship with Richard Marx due to his awesome Twitter account. He's smart, funny, unabashedly liberal, and takes no shite. Great reaction, India.

[@SouthernArtist77]

I follow him on twitter too, he's so nice.

[@GeekGal84]

This music was the first one I heard from Richard Marx....I wore out my cassette with this. I was young when I first heard it so I didn't fully understand it but the older I got the more it meant to me.

[@louisejohnson6767]

I once again love your hair. When you had it braided, it was also lovely, just loved the colours. You are stunning!

[@mjmmjm5370]

Good tune......one of my favourite Richard Marx tunes!!

[@carlosencina2075]

Hermoso todo me hizo llorar saludos desde Argentina

[@sonyabarnes2103]

Fantastic story in this song. My other favourite Richard Marx song is 'Endless Summer Nights'.

[@rambowbizz]

another great reaction.

[@WiccanRai]

I love how this song and the video tell a story, as sad as it is. There isn't too much of that these days. The song is beautifully sad.

[@raulcharlie8719]

Yeeeeesssss thank you for reaction

[@edkoner]

Love this song. Not heard this for years. The video was so sad

[@ellbanks425]

Love your hair!! So much more you!

[@jimipurple123]

One of my favourite songs

[@theConquerersMama]

One if my favorite songs of that time. Your hair looks awesome.

[@jamesnelson5741]

Great song and great reaction. I have been looking for a reaction for Donna Lewis and Richard Marx At the Beginning. I can not find any, which is a shame because it is a great song.

[@jimpierce3138]

The sheriff was played by Robert Conrad (The Wild Wild West).

[@leahmillar8255]

I’ve loved this song since I was 7 years old

[@kathyjam2482]

I forgot about this song thank you for the reaction.

[@victoriajohnson5461]

When l first heard and saw it on MTV. I was awestruck.😛

[@immersedinbooks]

One of my favourite ever reaction videos. I adore this song and your reaction is just perfect.💜

[@chinchillacrystal6899]

The cop did it and blamed him

[@Erikalynn1977]

Yep 👍🏻

[@rosehawkins499]

That's what I thought as well

[@Patric076]

That’s what I always thought.

[@TimedRevolver]

It's also implied she was forced to cheat on him, probably by the cop. How convenient for him to show up when he did. Almost like it was a trap he set.

[@lindamiller7701]

I've been looking for the second version to this song but it's been so long since I've heard it I really wish I knew it

[@peggyshortell3460]

Yes!!! He has a lot of great songs for you to try

[@danielmesery2904]

Watch again .... Cop whacked her.... I play this on guitar...... Surprised u played it...... Thanks

[@bloozkat6731]

This is a really great song! Love Richard Marx's music! Also, could you do a reaction to his song, HOLD ON TO THE NIGHTS? This is another truly wonderful song!

[@ownyourcrazy8734]

Outcast kid gets accused of a crime he didn't commit. The court of public opinion among residents of the small rural community deem him to be quilty. They burn down his trailer and symbolically his childhood memories burn as he seeks to leave that place forever. The video implies some kind of cover up has occurred and the finger of blame gets pointed in the wrong direction.

[@ecoffey71]

I've listened to this a million times.i think he did do it.he had motive

[@annagonzales8178]

Isn’t it interesting the sheriff was always around…hmmm and then he attacks Richard Marx. Always loved this song and I think I was 12 when it came out but loved this. Still love a good mystery

[@childofluv]

Great song

[@cortneyperfume_madness480]

He accidentally set the house on fire. Small town Justice...💔

[@carlacristina5613]

when he is running from to see another shadow on the wall.

[@ginabeanavideos9235]

Such a good song. Wish they would play it more on the radio.

[@nickkruger9566]

Good ol' Robert Conrad (sherriff) great actor

[@gracieoliver1876]

it was the sheriff

[@planetb2130]

Honestly I would never have found this channel and I'm glad I did, I grew up with this Music and it was Better In the 80s and 90s.. respect Homey from Australia

[@victoriajohnson5461]

This song is underrated a lyrical, visual, narrative. Of violence against women. It is so sad and haunting. A great vocal performance.😪

[@gfresh007]

India, your videos are the best. I love how you feel and comprehend the songs.

[@shannonbragg6685]

If you notice the cop was taking photos of him & Mary in the beginning. Then when the cops pull up & he runs he loses his scarf in the tree... and the cops spotlight hits it... So I think the cop did it & used him as a scapegoat because of the "rumors" everyone believed in town.

[@sebastiansolimando1464]

❤✌👍 lindo tena Saludos desde Uruguay🎅✌🎄

[@LifeandHorror]

This fuckin song and his freakin voice. I the crocodile shed human tears! One of the greatest amurikaaaa musical export! Love from India 🙏

[@allysonchen4286]

It was actually 2 videos of this song when it was released so it gave in more depth of his ppast and more clues about Mary's death

[@angelcharms7297]

One of my favs from Marx. Thank u. Binge watching ur channel. New sub. Bobby Caldwell..what u wont do for love. If u have not reacted to this yet

[@drshnutslol2917]

old songs used to tell stories, as a kid i used to love these kind of songs, another good one is squeese up the junction 😀

[@TheTheblackraven]

I never thought they were together, just friends but he loved her and she felt bad that he saw her with someone else

[@TimedRevolver]

Could also be he got the wrong idea about their relationship. One sided romance type of thing. He thought they were a couple, she never once gave him that idea. But she definitely felt guilty. And I hihgly doubt he killed her. Seems more likely the Sheriff did it. He seems to be stalking Mary throughout the video.

[@amandahall4234]

Great companion song to Where the Wild Roses Grow by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds.

[@normandavidtidiman9918]

This is one of the few music videos that is pretty literal to the song and very open to interpretation. Fantastic song.

[@shadow1674]

Thank you, I'm glad you're doing this.

[@seybass27]

This song is about a small Nebraska town called Hazard and a real life story from there!

[@martinsonmike3]

The Cop is Robert Conrad famous actor of the 50-80's. He played Jim West in the Wild Wild West in the 60's and Pappy Boyington in Black sheep Squadron in the 70's.

[@irenemesecke3076]

Love every Richard Marks song, also save the critique after the song.

[@robrobertson4619]

Wow! Haven’t heard this in ages. Thanks for doing this one👍😉

[@shanenolan8252]

Sad beautiful song. Thanks

[@patrickproctor392]

Damnnn it's a whole subgenre of modern folk drowning ballads. 7 mary three 'water's edge' + that genesis 'in the air tonight'

[@patrickproctor392]

I'm old and remember this video from around the time the dream team 🏀 Olympics

[@fdwal76]

Here in Brazil this song was part of a soap opera soundtrack in which an actress was real murdered by her scene fellow. That happened on december 28 th 1992. A sad song that also reminds us in Brazil of a real tragic end.

[@beep1955beep]

This is one of those songs you have to listen to all the way through BEFORE pausing it to make comments!!!

[@julieb3996]

Hazard one of my favorites of this era

[@jimipurple123]

Love this song

[@hilarywilkes7853]

I am so glad to see you react to this!! So underrated!

[@stevenatkinson2360]

The sheriff did it. love the song

[@philherman8633]

The Sheriff killed her.

[@roycroftki5358]

Exactly,he was stalking her.

[@knew3355]

You should listen to Now & Forever by him. Clearly it’s a love song from a man to a woman but it always made me think of my children...I substituted the word mom where he says man it describes how a mother feels about her babies perfectly. As a mother, I think you would hear it too.

[@litschiization]

Great song and video. Thanks for bringing it back.

[@stevefarms7494]

Great song but sad

[@truthbetoldineverwasyours8576]

His best song ever

[@ratowey]

I love this song, Please react to Now and forever, its a beautiful love song.

[@scottvanhille5688]

That man looked like Thomas Hayden Church.

[@theConquerersMama]

I heard it and had a slightly different picture in my mind before I saw the video.

[@CamillusFly]

I heard this song ages ago, finally saw the video a while back. Honestly, I wish that it had played out on video the way it always sounded to me like it did on radio: that she befriended him (a drifter/outcast), then just _went missing_ after being seen with him at the river, and was never found. And, that everyone suspected him -- as the drifter/outcast -- of some crime you never actually _see_ or suspect anyone else of committing.

[@brigittehuard4902]

I Love this song 🎵 ❤

[@yukiefromoz2573]

This used to be my karaoke song back in the day lol.

[@janabradshaw6509]

Musick on MTV. I cried when this one came out😢

[@SpiderVixen69]

The sheriff did it. Great song!

[@iChristyD]

Richard Marx is crazy talented! When he quit putting out his own music he kept writing for others throughout the years. He still tours and still is hot!! He’s actually married to Daisy Fuentes (from MTV) now. He was married and had 3 kids with Cynthia Rhodes who was Penny in Dirty Dancing. All 3 of their grown kids are musicians/singers as well.

[@shadow1674]

To cover up sweetheart like you usually do......... And they always send when the outsider if you don't feed and you'll never fit in the blame things on you.

[@josmith4173]

Love this - pretty sure there was a movie xx

[@sersastark]

Yes!!?!!

[@sharonironman4547]

Long time hearing this song , brings back memories😊

[@evelynwilson1566]

I was 17 when this song came out. I had left school and was about to start University. That summer my older sister was diagnosed with cancer. I remember that it was a very hot summer, and I used to walk down to the bridge over the River Devon, and watch it flow, with this playing on my personal stereo. My sister survived thank goodness. She can't listen to this song because I played it so often that summer. The video and song are very ambiguous. He may have been guilty, or perhaps he was framed. Was the sheriff trying to protect her or stalking her?

[@darrenposey82]

I don't know who you are, but you said it:"WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?" The whole them of this video is:" As a little boy, he saw and new what happened. What is easier for the accuser to do...falsely accuse someone else! " He didn't have anyone to tell, because they were cops, so! That kinda limits your options all together. It's a beautifully written story that can only be told in a song. Because it's so true...no one would believe you. P.S. I love your reaction, and your smile lol. Have a great.

[@angelalink666]

Hold onto the night 💜💜💜

[@TripletDad3]

I wasn't a fan of most of his pop hits, but I never really disliked the guy. It just wasn't my thing at the time. Then I heard this song, and my opinion of him changed dramatically. This is a great song. Later on, I heard about some of his work with other artists as a writer and/or producer, and he impressed me again, especially with the song he wrote for Luther Vandross, Dance With My Father.

[@danielpack7675]

They were just platonic friends, but the Sheriff was having an affair with her, so he framed him for the murder. Also, the impression I got was that the protagonist's father caught his wife with another man after coming back from a war and moved out with another woman for revenge, and then someone burned down the mother's house, so she moved to Hazard. Odd that you never see his parents again.

[@angelalink666]

[@thinkandrepent3175]

First Album I ever bought, on casette tape nonetheless lol
