Gerry Rafferty - Right down the line (Reaction)

[@goosefarm3602]

I love love this song...one of my favorites from the 70s

[@mikefixx7177]

The 70's had some of the best music ever made, lots of love songs. I love this song. Todays music is really bad .

[@MikeKelley-l8h]

To me there's never been a smoother, pure voice than Gerry Rafferty.

[@BlueCollarRenaissance]

Yup yup

[@jdjunaidi]

Poetry through music, absolutely talent RIP Gerry.

[@tonyvoyles296]

Yea Sushi, This is a time when Men were Men. 45 years now to the same woman. Still love her as much as I did the first time I saw her

[@cg401]

life was great when Men were Men and women were women, enjoy every precious moment with your woman

[@ontheroad5317]

I’m right behind you at 41 years. My wife is the only woman I’ve ever loved. We met when I was 20, she was 18, and married 2 years later. I’ve never looked at another woman since. I’ve made it clear to her that no matter what we go through, she’s stuck with me. And she’s just fine with that.

[@davemiller9314]

Glad you're back..😘 What we enjoy about your reaction videos is the heart felt reactions.. You listen to the song and really feel the message.. When you get emotional while listening to a good Rock love ballad, or a country song thats telling a story you really feel it.. We see it in your eyes and your beautiful face.. And when you get emotional we feel it and we get emotional with you....Thanks for coming home..... Good luck...❤❤❤❤

[@TOOSUSHI]

Awe this is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing 💕✨

[@Nashalbeth]

@@TOOSUSHI A woman inspired a man and lead him to great things; he sings a ballad of appreciation. How great is that? The way things should be. Songs with women as bitches and baby daddies or baby mommas- I don't want to hate on a genre, but the the message matters. Knowing if that you love a woman like TOO SUSHI, or she loves you, you can become far greater than the sum of your parts and acknowledge each other- we could use more of that. Couldn't we?

[@musik102]

Gerry was a great songwriter. I saw him in the early 1970s, in Manchester UK, when he was in a duo with comedian Billy Connolly.

[@johnrogan9729]

Missed your reactions so much. So glad you’re back!!!!

[@TranslateToEnglish]

Brings back fond memories. I love his Moonlight and Gold. BTW- You are just drop-dead gorgeous, PERIOD.

[@TOOSUSHI]

Awe thank you

This song hit the AM radio stations back in '78. My little wifey and I had been together for 7 years at that time and this song expressed exactly how I felt about her - and us - at that stage of our union. The moment I first heard it playing (on my car radio) I went to the record store looking for the single...It wasn't my wifes birthday, it wasn't valentines day, nothing like that going on...I just wanted my wife to know my feelings as articulated in this song. Here's what has changed regarding man/woman/dating relationships - WOMEN. Modern women are very different from the way women thought and acted back in the days when this song was released. With regard to how they "feel" about women, dating, relationships men of today are no different from the men of those long ago days. Men still long to find a woman who wants and appreciates his offerings of love and willingness to commit to her. He longs to find a woman who demonstrates her appreciation by vowing to remain loyal and to reserve her affections for him and no one else. Women of today are unapologetically disloyal - in fact a good argument can be made that modern women are unabashedly, unapologetically, boldly even, sexually itinerant. This attitude toward sexual intimacy is prevalent in all modern women...yes even and especially the women who are married. Fact is that married women "cheat" much more often and frequently than married men. This assertion is supported statistically. Modern women love the idea of a man showing and expressing his love for her in song and in real life but this in no way causes them to feel any obligation to remain sexually exclusive to a husband. The thing is that women themselves regard sex not as a demonstration of emotional, spiritual intimate connection to her husband. Rather she regards her pzzy merely as a physical pleasure center AND more importantly as a transactional asset. She uses sex to get what she thinks she deserves out of men in general and her mind her husband is treated just as she treats and regards all men - generally speaking. I truly believe that women value marriage only as a physical and financial safety net from whence she can act on her selfish materialistic and carnal whims. When a modern woman is caught out - caught cheating she doesn't really feel any guilt - after all her sexuality was being used for physical pleasure and in her mind and attitude that is its design purpose. When her sexual betrayal is found out she only becomes tearful and panicked over the prospect of losing her "safety net" - the physically and financially safe space that had been provided by her husband up to that point in time. THAT is why a woman caught cheating becomes teary, defensive, apologetic...makes noises about how she never meant to hurt her husband and how she never meant for things to go that far...all while hysterically crying - and all of that really means is that she never thought she would get caught out. When she says she never meant to hurt him she isn't expressing regret for cheating - she is only sorry that her husband found out about it - in her mind it wasn't the act itself that hurt him - it was the knowledge - the learning of her extramarital adventures that caused his heart to break...in the mind of the disloyal wife it was not her fault - she couldn't help herself - and at this point she will resort to rationalizing - "I was lonely" - "you made me feel neglected" - "it was the alcohol"...she will say anything that she believes will absolve her of personal responsibility for the betrayal of her vow to remain exclusive to her wedded husband. THIS is the only thing that has changed - this modern womans attitude toward sex and sexual fidelity in marriage is what shapes and informs the ways in which modern men act, think, speak to women. By the time a modern man has reached his 19th , 20th birthday has has already been burned - his heart has already been broken and thrown on the floor too many times for him to allow himself to be open to professing his desire to love, marry, provide for a woman.. the idea of loving, marrying, building a life together with a woman is now a daunting proposition. The one thing he knows that he can count on is that she will NOT remain affectionate, loving, sexually exclusive and loyal to him...sooner or later she will betray the him - she will break his heart...and if he marrys her she will eventually walk away with much if not most of his hard earned material wealth. And if there are any children she will leverage that against him as well. MEN have not changed - its just a matter of having been burned too many times - and seeing his friends - other men, also burned, its no wonder the modern man suppresses his natural desire - his want - his need to find a woman to whom to give his gifts.

[@waynepeterson1061]

Another one of his great songs. 👍

[@RM-ks8pp]

Great song and reaction. Gerry had many more great tracks. Peace and love beautiful lady...

[@TOOSUSHI]

Awe thank you 😊

[@chrisoakley5830]

I've always really liked this song very much, I still have the 45 single record of this song. I like your words after hearing the song, I've been married for 32 years and can't imagine being without my wife, life certainly hasn't always been perfect for us, but you work through the hard times because the love is much stronger.

[@jeraldkimball494]

I am married to my best friend, the love of my life and have been close to 50 years now and don't regret it for a split second. This and other songs like this have been popular through the years and a big part of our history.

[@richardrodriguez2120]

Another great song from my childhood. He had some good music Thanks for the trip down memory lane

[@stanfieldforsythe6398]

Excellent choice .. by far and away my favourite Gerry Rafferty song . The lyrics sum up how i feel about a girl i met when i was 20 .. 43 years 3 kids and 9 grandchildren later its still how i feel about my amazing wife ..❤

[@ronlee1990]

I'd like to see more of that beautiful smile. Perhaps these will help: Brooks & Dunn "play something country"; Toby Keith "as good as I once was"; Brad Paisley "I'm gonna miss her".

[@andrewfox7861]

These kind of songs were written in a time when life was hard and in a world totally different from today but only 50 years ago, most of this generation is lost in themselves rather than an us attitude, great to see you I hope you and your family are doing well

[@davidlj53]

Sushi, I haven’t seen your channel in a long time. Your reactions still make me smile, glad l stopped by. Keep it up! It’s raf er t

[@robrichards8074]

Glad to see you are back, his name is Gerry with a soft G, and Raff -er- tee. I hope this helps with pronouncing it properly. He was the group Steelers Wheels that had a hit with "Stuck in the middle with you", another great song. Glad too see you dig into these classic rock tracks, keep up the good work.

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

Gerry is pronounced the same as Jerry. He was a force among singer-songwriters in the 1970s - if you haven't heard "Get it Right Next Time" or "Night Owl", they should be your next hits. Or for a deeper cut, try "Wise as a Serpent". Fun fact - Gerry often slipped in references to his earlier songs in his lyrics - like here, "you put something better inside of me", the title of one of his songs with Stealers Wheel. RIP Gerry R.

[@DaveIdiens]

Great song and a good voice too! Thank you 🙏 Sooshi 👏🏻🙏

[@toddrouw6019]

LOVE this song!

[@johnkeathley1612]

Many blessings to you and your family from Perryville Kentucky ❤

[@Ilikeryche]

So pretty, and the song is great too.

[@danastearns7939]

very nice reaction. a few others in the time: Orleans - "You're still the One"; Bellamy Brothers - "Let your Love Flow". Really good romantic music from mid 60's: The Association had 3: "Cherish", " Everything that touches you", and "Never my Love". check them out.

[@michaelhoule9649]

One of my all time favorite songs

[@jesrush]

Love this one✌️😊🩷

[@scottchapin2323]

I grew up in a time that if it was broke, you fixed it. Today's generation lives in a disposable world. Things are thrown out and replaced, even people.

[@andrewfox7861]

Great track from a great artist

[@RichardSchaefer-zx9ig]

So glad that you enjoyed Gerry Rafferty's classic song "Right Down the Line". A beautiful love ballad. I'll recommend one of my favorite love songs, Billy Joel's "And So It Goes". Careful, it might make you teary eyed (hope it does).

[@michaelwray4276]

If you like Gerry, don't forget about his group Stealers Wheel, "Stuck in the Middle with You". 😊

[@raya.pawley3563]

Thank you

[@alternaterurality]

I suggest giving The Royal Mile by him a listen.

[@mikefixx7177]

Try Ambrosia next. or Al Green, lets stay together, there are so many songs.

[@kkingthemotivationalspeake1576]

Awesome Too Sushi you are so amazing

[@TOOSUSHI]

[@tankerslug]

Wow looking stunning tonight!

[@paulgatton1785]

Gerry Rafferty, great songwriter, check out "Get It Right Next Time"

[@stephendintino6076]

Too Sushi, like you, I believe in chivalry!

[@TOOSUSHI]

Oh yes!

[@Ontariosound]

Gerry admitted that he had an alcohol problem. He said he was still making around 150k per year in royalties from "Stuck in the Middle With You" and could just sit at home and drink. Sad ending for such a talented man....

[@dennisflury6942]

great choice. ode to the power of a woman! Everything in this generation is disposable, even people. Nice reaction!

[@sonnycathey5091]

46 years married.

[@BlueCollarRenaissance]

I always sing this to my wife

[@tenlittleindians]

A great tune I forgot about.

[@Nevoykold]

you beautiful sushi nice to see you back

[@TOOSUSHI]

Thank you 😋

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

😂 Gerry is Jerry ..the older way of spelling it... And yup hes a bit of a smoothy..🇬🇧🧙🏼‍♂️😉 But watch out for those poet bards... 😍🤦🏻😉 They can be equally mad, bad and dangerous to know but sing like angles. Just like some gals 🤭

[@TOOSUSHI]

Oh hehe Jerry with a G

[@chrisbrindley8432]

The most babys were conceived during Unchanged Melody, you know that, LIL.😀

[@TOOSUSHI]

Hehe

[@DaveIdiens]

Great reaction as well! Things are different these days. I have noticed the change in both sexes. And they will continue to change. I’m sorry you didn’t get to experience our era. I think you would have loved the 70’s.But when you are in it, you don’t really recognize it for what it is. Your show identifies it for us which does allow us to see it for what it was! You do a great job and service! Thank you 😊🙏

[@barbapoupokin7425]

❤️🩷🧡 j'adore cette chanson 🙏🏽

[@GaryHinsley]

Hi👋😊 Try the song: Have a Little Faith in Me…John Hiatt

[@michaelhoule9649]

SUSHI!! You should check out John Stewart Ft Stevie Nicks - Gold

[@michaelharrison8341]

If you’d liked that song, give home and dry and listen to. I think you would like that as well. I like your channel. Keep up the good work.

[@numberonesongs4444]

Gerry Raff-fur-tee

[@michaelhoule9649]

Treat her like a lady by Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose.

[@cboday13]

It’s RAF Fir Tea. That how you pronounce it.

[@wad3786]

1st viewer, do I get a request? Alvin Lee The Bluest Blues. If you want music that can draw out emotions. Your the best, glad your back❤

[@TOOSUSHI]

Thank you

[@WolvenHeart1]

You are right. Songs were more full of love and feelings back then. We were not afraid to express them. Richard Marx Angel's Lullaby is one you should listen to as well kzbin.info/www/bejne/ambWZIWojq2kqpIsi=7I2_mbY00eHdFAjn

[@TOOSUSHI]

Yes the feeling was there
