The 80s and 90s were the last two decades to produce truly unforgettable songs

[@renatoigmed]

This is one of those special songs that you should listen to with good headphones or a high-fidelity stereo system.

[@Plan9-3127]

The 80's were a magical time... Especially to be a kid... The music really took on a specific sound that just embodies the decade so well... I miss it. If we only knew what was coming... Ugh

[@user-jv9is7iw2t]

Ohhhh, Jason. I couldn't agree with your comment more. The words just aren't there to describe the magnificence of the 1980s. Especially the music, the movies, even TV, it was just absolutely magical. And as you said, we had no idea. We just didn't know the gift we have been given as kids, that childhood was sooooo good.

[@James-wj8eq]

Only kids enjoyed the 80's commercial crock...thank god grunge and raves came in the 90's..

[@Revenant74]

That sound made people wanted to treat other people better.

[@Plan9-3127]

@@Revenant74 Never looked at it like that, but I couldn't agree more...

[@josea.martinez9072]

Totalmente de acuerdo !, 👏, aún recuerdo esos tiempos bro, no lo se, creo que fueron " magicos ", pues me hacían soñar , que todo era posible !. Hoy a mis 52 años y en este momento que leo tu comentario, me hiciste recordar mi niñez y pre-adolescencia , ¡¡ magia bro, sueños !!, les deseo a todos una Feliz Navidad y un año 2024 lleno de salud, amor, y bondad !!.😊

[@scotthurley208]

It’s been on my play list for a long time. I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s. I love this song.

[@SPOCK_TALK]

The 80's were the music decade. Anybody that says differently hasn't hear enough.

[@KaosandRiot]

Imagine being in a green soft field under a night sky in the spring in the 80s. You’re sitting next to friends and this song is rocking on the radio. No cell phones internet or nonsense as a distraction Lord how I should have appreciated those days more

[@matthewlee6168]

This song was released during my senior year of high school--and I still love it.

[@areyalive18]

Damn you old

[@yoshiplz]

At how many THOUSANDS weddings has this song been played? It's a beautiful song.

[@EloPSuperFly]

I’m an 80’s kid who grew up on 70’s prog and 80’s punk, but this song was my secret guilty pleasure.

[@Desmondbrown73]

This is my ‘blast it from my truck’ public pleasure 😂

[@gabrielmcdonnell8699]

Weddings, grocery and drug stores, Napoleon Dynamite and, now, Tik Tok keep this 80’s staple alive. And it’s such a recognizable intro to the original MTV generation. ✌🏽

[@sebastianblack6506]

This is one of those songs that I totally forgot about and then heard it again within the last half year and was reminded just how good it is. Such an 80's song too.

[@mattpetty1]

While in the store Bed ,Bath, and Beyond , they played this on their sound system. I had totally forgotten about it. I forgot the title. I got home, when to KZbin and just entered "promise" on a guess and gave a big yell..."YES ! Immediately put it in my favorite. And come back to it every few weeks.

[@jkbezo1]

New wave

[@jerryparedes6688]

I'm so glad you enjoyed this Angela. I love your reaction to the lyrics!

[@dghatt3491]

This is easily the best reaction to this song.

[@BB-eb8fj]

I 'm so happy this song made the cut! You can cry and dance at the same time...LOL

[@claudiosacramento5816]

This is one of the best songs I've ever heard

[@w1ck3dmouse]

ALWAYS LOVE THIS SONG, SO MANY MEMORIES!

[@kevinwatkins1010]

Back in the day this was a must to add to your mix tape u made and gave it to the girl u were in infatuated with

[@michaelv9929]

Great song! Brings back memories of the movies of the 1980’s Great Reaction 🙏🏻❤️

[@bongobongo985]

Love your smile and huge dimples.

[@robertmiller2633]

Angela is BAE !!!!!!

[@thecelt471]

The 80's were a great time to be just out-of the military, single and looking for fun. Good memories. I liked your reaction.

[@patrickpard2859]

Awesome song. It touches me every time I hear it. Life is very short and getting harder to find that special person. When you find that special person to pour all yourself into, it's worth more its weight in gold.

[@destination22ful]

Great reaction! In the words of Napoleon Dynamite, “Sweet” !

[@Wiccat1]

That whole album is worth a listen. They should have had many more hits. Probably weren't promoted properly to reach their audience.

[@dontgiveinfo]

no. they just didn't want to sell their souls and give away their booty to a bunch of guys wearing a mask at a private party

[@GetsumJ]

One of the most beautiful songs of the 80s. And also- THANK YOU for letting a song play complete, it makes you so much more awesome than the others. Break the song, break the mood.

[@marciomotta1927]

quando The Promise estourou aqui no Brasil em 1988 virou um hino, a minha turma que saia pra dançar adotou ela como nosso hino, e até hoje ela emociona, marcou uma geração, amo essa musica

[@pacard33]

Great 80s song. I was in France when this song came out, and they used to blast this song at metro stations in Paris. Such a good vibe, this one.

[@mikeg.7248]

I LOVE THIS SONG! I’ve never listened to the words before! Thank you for choosing this song! It is Beautiful!…

[@leightnite3056]

One of the songs most deserving of Hit status! Really friggin' Love this tune.

[@sandralandivar5263]

I absolutely love this song!! I loved it back then and I still love it!! I'm glad you loved it too!!

[@romeoabrego6771]

I feel like cooking a delicious bass

[@darrellwilliams7604]

I was 8 when I first heard this when it came out. Classic 80s at it's best.

[@OldHead71]

I’ve always loved this song ❤

[@ryanfeit1420]

This song is so beautiful and has held up very well. Great reaction Angela!!!

[@ACG_Jaydog]

It's an ageless classic that i'll always like

[@fantasyguru26]

Such a great 80's tune. One of the more listened to tracks on my New Wave/Synthpop playlist.

[@AWalkOnDirt]

I loved the 80s and don’t remember this song. I know it recently made a comeback and I thought,”How in the heck did I miss this song?” Then I remember, 88 I was on Cuba while on the Marines. I missed this whole year!

[@htbald1]

Because of the the lyrics and chorus, this is a favorite song to this day!

[@chrisv966]

This still reminds me of Napoleon and Deb playing tetherball at the end of Napoleon Dynamite. Another great song accompanied by a great reaction!!

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

🎯

[@lucidhiv8194]

80s songs will have u feeling nostalgic like no other.

[@shudtt09]

Your reaction is so sweet!!! 💙💙😥😥👍👍 I'm sure somebody already said, but it was in 'Napoleon Dynamite'

[@sorensmith9873]

if youve seen Napoleon Dynamite, its the song at the end of the move when he and Deb are playing tetherball

[@mattpetty1]

[@melaniebrown4660]

Such an under appreciated song! Love it!

[@Grawlixify]

I love the bassline, so recognizable. The melody might sound familiar because this song is in the outro of Napoleon Dynamite.

[@benjamindelgado6053]

Esta canción cada vez que la pongo en mi coche....la gente que sabe lo que es una obra maestra....me saluda y me sonríe ☺️

[@rlwsr]

Im 52 now but the 70s and 80s music was fanominal time in music history , What a Great song !

[@UnitedRedDevils]

Fantastic reaction 🤘 The beat is such a groove & the lyrics really hit the nostalgia button.

[@3by2youRreal]

This song got a strong melody and great hook ….respect

[@jackw467]

A wonderful song, beautiful feelings 💖 ☀

[@estebanmarceloseguelyanez8614]

One of those songs for the play list of your life. Greetings from this audiophile from Chile

[@charliebishop5928]

I just discovered this song a couple of years ago, beautiful

[@SWLinPHX]

This reminds me of working at record stores back in the day in 1988-91. It almost had a "new wave" sound, despite being late-1980s.

[@gabrielmcdonnell8699]

😅 Same. 👍🏼 From high sch and thru college (‘88-‘94), I worked @ a record store. Best job ever for music nerds. 🤓 And, yep, I can hear the New Wave tinges (esp in the vocals where on occasion his Brit accent slips in). 😎

[@donaldgilbreath4200]

Took me a very long time to appreciate this song. It wasn't until I actually paid attention to the lyrics that I was able to understand this song. Before that it was just a song that got stuck in my head.

[@jericoba]

Always a gem in my 80's playlist. I'm glad you brought it to KZbin's daylight and that you liked it.

[@tubaraobruno]

Stop to listen the song but felt in love with you OMG

[@cano21]

The 80's were so awesome.

[@tracyw2029]

This reminds me so much of a GREAT time in the 1980s (this and many other songs). Is it the music, or good times and good friends that it reminds me of that makes it such a good era of music? Warm, fuzzy feelings.

[@flipjupiter1]

One of my all time favs. Damn good song. Great reaction video!

[@jp27whodey31]

The fact that this song never made the top ten is a crime, though to be fair it had some great competition in '88

[@roccaclassico9028]

I'm generally not a fan of techno-pop, but I always liked this song because of the incredible vocal arrangement. And I loved "Napoleon Dynamite"! Now I have a craving for some delicious bass.

[@realtruth716]

Napoleon and Deb..

[@tomcummings711]

I love this song too ! A couple times it brought tears to my eyes !

[@vasilis717]

Yes... You just presented us with another hidden gem in words and notes... Nubian queen... Keep up the smashing work...

[@kash748]

This suddenly apppeared on my playlist whilst out for a long run...i replayed it three times whilst running,loved it!

[@owenbb505]

Such a great song, loved your reaction! i've always loved the chorus of this and the way its delivered. Great pick, Angela!

[@PJAvenger]

So sorry Angela about your loved one passing. DayOne keeps on reacting

[@GC-mn9sr]

Great song in the 80's. I'm very grateful you played it as it brings me back to my teens. Thank you.....

[@KRCM1]

Back in the 80s-This was mine and my boyfriend's song. Then, we got engaged. And it was still OUR song. We were so cool and at the time, it was a cool song. For years, we were like, "Yeah, our song is/was The Promise." Then, we got married, and we still proudly proclaimed The Promise as our song. And everyone was always like, "Awwww, how cuuuute!!" And then, Napoleon Dynamite. Thanks, Napoleon. You killed a great thing.

[@jonmoak1132]

This has always been one of my favorite songs every since it came out when I was a kid. Great reaction. I love watching the young react to my generation’s music. If the 80s did one thing right, it was the music. I was astounded to learn that it’s now considered classic rock. Nooo! Classic rock is what my mom listened to.

[@rouguy1972]

Masterpiece ❤

[@treetopjones737]

Cool, you did this one. Suggested it as it's both a pretty song with a sweet message.

[@mykeybarbee2587]

Liked and followed, you let it play and listened without interrupting. #respect *nods politely* #thankyou

[@kevindavis7620]

Great reaction! You heard it in Napoleon Dynamite

[@Sinjin.S]

Great song and review. Angela, have a wonderful birthday, and I hope it's filled with fun and happiness 🎉😊

i loved this song so much!

I simply LOVE this song!

Excellent choice.

"I'm sorry but I'm just looking for the right words to say, I know they don't sound the way I plan them to be". 💛

[@kylewoolsey6635]

I'm going to go play some tether-ball now.

[@clippy4697]

I just searched for this song live and I found you among the search results. Never got into the reaction type vids before, but I really enjoyed watching you listening to a song I love for the first time... and seeing that you really liked it too

[@pamagnolia]

What great song! It’s been forever since I’ve heard it. I loved your reaction to this. 😊

[@outrajs]

Very 80's techno. Anybody else thinking about Napolean Dynamite?

[@burnout_2017]

Was gonna say, two words.......Napoleon Dynamite

[@JOSEMunoz-tc5rq]

I don't need to i was 25 back in 1988 when this classic came out lol

[@kerrijohnson2303]

@@JOSEMunoz-tc5rq I was 19. Danced my tail off to this song many a Saturday nights. Been on my playlists ever since!

[@obiwanduglobi6359]

Bands like The Promise prepared the floor for what was about to come. If this was techno, Elvis Presley was death metal. No way buddy...

[@steelehere1]

This song was an obvious one that you'd like.

[@gabrielmcdonnell8699]

Yep, I knew between the Patreons and non-member subs that “The Promise” would find its way to Angela.

[@fitter70]

This song makes me think of the movie Napoleon Dynamite they played it at the outro... great choice.

[@chopperdeath]

Day one you get this. The sentiment carries over the decades and I can see it in your expression. Enjoy.

[@seansmith4880]

He will find the right words, that is the promise

[@gregcosta6965]

1988 had some great tunes. Didn't know this came out in 88? So did another banger that year Taylor Dayne's " Tell it to my Heart"... loved that one too.

[@qthelost]

I loved the song when it came out. I also really liked the video they did for MTV.

[@zachman81597]

You’re the best tbh have loved your vids forever

[@davehess1019]

this is a really good song

[@Kyle-zh4mq]

It's literally the best of both fast and slow, tempo is fast but the vocals are melodic and slow alot of the song. Unique. This is one of many reasons it's still being played and loved by all ages to this day

[@mitchm89814]

Great song !

[@markwithak334]

I love this

[@jorgemarquez7281]

Fantastic introduction and the words that is injected into your being. Great song! I love your reaction Angela and also your pretty hair. Yeah!

[@ONESIMPLYDOES]

If 80's music had a national anthem this may be it.

[@mehuldoshi486]

Napoleon Dynamite reintroduced me to this song, which I had forgotten about

[@sealdrup]

Hey my fellow Gemini. I really like your new intro, btw.

[@Ccortanaa]

Love this!

i love you di not interrupt the song AT ALL!!!
