The Black Crowes - She Talks To Angels (REACTION) with my wife

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

This is one of those songs that you almost feel guilty finding it beautiful. But it’s the beauty that carries the message so well.❤️🐝🤗

[@mandomendez5618]

There's a smile when the pain comes, the pains gonna make everything alright,.... he's talking about the Sting (pain) of the needle

[@AW11-e4h]

Black Crowes are worth the rabbit hole . Their music is full of soul and blues rock 🤘🤘

[@no834]

or you can just listen to The Faces or Stones who they obviously stole all there attitude and sound from .

[@lindalou6105]

Saw them in concert at Griffith Park. They were great!

A great song by a great band. The refence to "the lock of hair from a little boy" and "she talks to angels... they call her out by name"... leads me to believe she had a child of her's die.. and it's a lock of hair from that little boy... and he's now an angel and when she is "high".... she senses him call out to her, by name.

[@troywilliams2777]

was thinking the same

[@art2736]

Also means she's flirting with death...

[@jamespuisys6311]

I think she lost custody of her child.

[@liftme225]

I love blasting Black Crowes over my p.a. system and play along on drums. I get lost for hours.Another winning reaction and great band to discover.

[@millerbeer01]

Saw them for the first time, opening for ZZ Top in Syracuse NY. It was an amazing concert. This album is brilliant. 🤘🏼

[@DougCaffey]

Jimmy Page toured with them in the early 2000’s playing lead guitar and they played lots of Zeppelin songs!❤

[@Boc68]

She gives a smile when the pain comes, the pain gonna make everything alright. Yeah it does for a while. No one chooses to be an addict. I didnt but spent the last 40 years as one. God help us all

[@JayyeStone]

I've seen so many drug addicts that burn all of their support bridges, especially their families, for the sake of the high. But I've also witnessed people go through a recovery through Christ and at their graduation from the program, most of their families were back to support them. A very deep and meaningful feeling to see families reunited. Nice reaction and analysis.

[@jeanstrickland2445]

This is a beautifully written song about human struggles. My favorite song by the Black Crows. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.

[@scott3744]

I think the reason sad songs have so much impact is because everyone has pain, so people can relate to songs about pain, and even if the pain in the song is a different kind of pain than the listener has experienced, pain is still pain, and grief is still grief. Songs about pain remind us that we're not alone in our pain, and there is comfort in that. Not comfort that others are suffering (which would be psychotic 😂), but comfort in knowing we are not alone. Music can express that common bond in a way that other mediums can't, turning a sad song into something like an old friend, something that is loved. And that's why sad songs can be so great, contrary to what we might otherwise expect 👍🙂

[@Jude_196]

Such a SAD & BEAUTIFUL TUNE!!! LOVE THE BLACK CROWES!!

[@SharilynBratton]

I’ve always loved this song, it’s sad but beautiful and as soon as you hear that opening guitar riff you have to turn it up and sing along.

[@Tbirdhaynes]

One of my all time favorite bands! Been a fan since the beginning and I have seen them many times in many different cities. I even got to meet them a couple years ago. This is a great song with a deep message and is one of their top hit songs commercially. However, they have a ton of great songs that many may not even know about. I can suggest deeper cut songs that are just as every bit as good as this one. Thank you so much for this one and I sincerely hope you continue reacting to them! LONG LIVE THE CROWES!

[@Tampahop]

I love this song. Thanks for the reaction.

[@anthonypallen7919]

Greatest blues rock band of the 90s.

[@general-cromwell6639]

One of my favorite songs, has a lot of meanings. Harmful addictions are the scourge of our modern society, we've moved far beyond alcohol...a slow killer, to the new and improved drugs that will kill you instantly after building up a bit of tolerance. Opioids kill about 350,000 people each year. Every year, since medical opioids became "public", the universal dosage has raised 500% worldwide. All the best. Cheers.

[@williamschrom1584]

Everything the two of you said can and does apply when it comes to the struggles of addiction. Depending on those involved.

[@jimdunagan4180]

good find for you one of the best bands to come out in the latter days

[@DennisGayhart-s3t]

I think the pain was when she pushes the needle in her arm.

[@itchyandred4131]

Nailed it,no pun intended ✌️

[@DougCaffey]

I kinda thought maybe she cut herself to numb the pain. Either way it’s a very emotional song ❤

[@no834]

that's not painful ,, withdrawal is the pain .

[@gregpayne6478]

Well ,,talking about the pain . Its the stick of the needle,,going to make everything alright. I've never been on that side of it so I don't know it all. But I can still understand it in other ways. Thanks for your videos. .

[@cspringer333]

The singer Chris Robinson was married to actress Kate Hudson who starred in the movie "Almost Famous" about a band's rise to stardom. Fantastic songs from the 60's and 70's. I think you would love it.

[@jimmymcintyre7944]

My favorite song by them.

[@hibhibb5429]

Black Crowes songs/videos "HARD TO HANDLE" and "JEALOUS" are other great ones by them to explore. Love Chris Robinson's (lead singer) voice!!! He has such a "Vibe" about him.

[@Sheliahhh69]

I lost my little brother Eddie to drug addiction. This song makes me think of him every time i hear it. 😔

[@thedrumfreak97]

Great reaction, great band...my top 3: Wiser Time, Thorn in my Pride, Descending

[@junkyardheaven]

Yes - it's about addiction - she feels all alone, and the shot is what gets her through the day (despite the pain) - she once gave birth to a boy that was taken from her - and there's prostitution - now she's just waiting for the end... Hopelessness. Sadness. What a song!

[@SharilynBratton]

Two great songs by them are Seeing Things (for the first time) and Jealous Again.

[@seanpaula8924]

Great Band

[@KrazyKatLadyx2]

Definitely a heartbreaker 😢

[@EdA1]

Although this song is from the 90s, the Black Crowes were heavily influenced by the music of the 60s and 70s. Which is why they’re so damn good lol!

[@DougCaffey]

Great band! Too many phenomenal songs to mention. Please listen to the song “Seeing Things “ and you guys will fall in love with them!❤

[@jenniferandrews1917]

Great reaction and interpretation. I highly recommend THORN IN MY PRIDE for your next Black Crows reaction. Thanks, guys!

[@telebender]

Really great band with a throw-back R & B/soul/Southern rock sound. I highly recommend anything off the "Southern Harmony & Musical Companion" album - not a dud on it. Tracks I particularly like are "Bad Luck Blue Eyes", "Hotel Illness" and "My Morning Song".

[@stevenewcomer8837]

About the same time that The Black Crows were getting famous, the band The Scream released their debut album in 1991. The song “Father, Mother, Son”, is an absolutely fantastic song about loss. They are terribly underrated. Singer John Corabi sang lead vocals on an album with Van Halen later on. “Father, Mother, Son” kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooXcpKmJodB8ms0si=TsRiC96meMXl8Meb

[@tomherd34]

She tells you that she's a orphan after you meet her family. You can't trust her she lies.

[@johnfreeburn5459]

“Remedy” is one of the best rock-blues songs ever! You can’t keep from joining the dancing in the original video! Awesome band but the brothers (leaders) argued and didn’t get along at times! Great, but who knows what more they could have done if the brothers were consistent in their relationship!

[@Never2old2boogie]

I think there should be a focus on this part of the song "She keeps a lock of hair in her pocket She wears a cross around her neck Yes, the HAIR is from a little boy !! I believe the addiction has to do with someone she lost.

[@rayyarbrough]

This song is pain, but poignantly.

[@deepfriedscotsman2860]

You should try a Scottish band called RUNRIG and their song called ( In Search Of Angels )

One of my favorite songs of the 1990s, just hearing the acoustic guitar intro made me smile. I would recommend the (even more) acoustic version, with piano, and no drums, for an even more stripped down, soulful and impassioned performance 👍 Here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6SmdIxsZseLa5Y

This was their first hit that got them recognition and MTV coverage. They continued to improve their songwriting over the next few albums, with their next 2 being better than this by far.

This is a great band Y'all. I enjoyed your reaction again. Would you try something different? Motown? How about The Manhattans "Kiss and Say Goodbye" or Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes "If You Don't Know Me By Now". At least listen to these two, it will enrich your lives. I have a million of them that I wish you could hear.

This is a weird version of this song. I guess it was from a live recording? They completely skip a verse and insert the "pain gonna make everything alright" in it's place. Then some of the guitar work was different. It wasn't a bad version at all. Just not the one I'm used to

Drug addiction is a brutal thing. I’m in my late 50s and I think all my issues started about the time I was seven or eight years old, that was the first drink of alcohol I ever tasted from my dad. By the time I was 13, late 70s, I was already smoking weed and drinking. Two years later, at the age of 15 I added a whole bunch of cocaine, speed, pills, acid, and mushrooms. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to stay away from heroin only because I have a fear of needles. Fortunately, for me, my ex got pregnant when I was 25 and that’s when I sobered up. I decided to be a father instead of a drug addict. It’s something you never get over, and you constantly have to fight the battle day after day, but life is worth it. My children are worth it. The one thing I believe that helps more than anything for me is music. This came out about the time I sobered up in 1991. 28 years later, I’m still sober and I’m still loving life more than I ever have. My children, my family and my music are what keeps me going. I always enjoy your reactions. Thank you for another good one.👏👏👏👏👏
