Welcome to my channel! This is a music reaction channel. For the longest time, I've loved creating content on the internet. I started off with a gaming channel right here on YouTube, which eventually turned into a Twitch gaming channel, but as time has gone on I've evolved into doing other things on YouTube. For years now I've wanted to create a music channel on YouTube, and recently just figured "why not?", so it’s time to give this a go! Give me any suggestion you have for music reactions, and I will do my best to get around to them. As music has fallen further out of my life, I figured this would be a great time to get reintroduced to music.

If you enjoy this video and my reactions make sure you subscribe to the channel, like the video and comment down below which video you would like to see me react to next.

This is a reaction video used to educate and give my feedback on the song and artists.

I always told my wife this was how I felt about her. Lost her to cancer 3 years ago after nearly 42 years of marriage. Hearing this hurts so much now. "You were the first, you'll be the last". True words in my case. I can't imagine being with anyone else. I miss the 80's and the life we shared back then.

[dipsydoodle]

Don't let this ballad fool you. This is a premier ROCK band. Gotta check them out further!

[shirleybhszdlii]

Oh wow. I haven't heard this song for a long time. Love it. Thanks for starting my Monday afternoon off right. Great reaction, Shawn. Blessings all.

[librarylady]

Haven't heard this in forever. Love It!

It’s my favorite song by Cheap Trick, which was actually written for somebody else, but they turned it down. Cheap trick, accepted it and became one of their biggest hits.

[newfiemom]

Saw them on concert 1988 in Oakland CA. They played this song and everyone got out their lighters. You could smell the singe of our Aqua Net 80’s hair

[rwarnerbd]

I had this song played at my son's just hit me a little differently than it does most people....

[billyoliver]

Dream Police and I Want You To Want Me got to go on your Cheap Trick play list.

[jollyrodgers]

Ya gotta hit the album CHEAP TRICK AT BUDOKAN - one of the greatest Live albums around (16, 000 screaming kids in the background accentuates the energy). It's the album that brought them fame back home in the 'States.

[pablomazzeo]

i remeber listen on the radio this song was a 80s classic

[jeffwarren]

Saw these guys back in '79..Evansville, IN...great show...Robin Zander is right up there with RJD, Ian Gillan, Rik Emmett, Steve Perry, Brad Delp, Darryl Hall, Bruce Dickinson, etc..World class vocalist.

[sonnyjames]

This is a perfect song. #1 song in America in 1988. I don't get into song formulas . . . pollutes the listening experience.

[jhood]

This is a great song but like they said, don’t let it fool you. You’re probably thinking of the right song. It is a bit faster.

[sherribrock]

This song ranks #3 on my top five favorite ballads! I saw them and Heart together a few months ago!!

[joemachine]

The Power Ballad is a sub-type of Love Ballad. It follows a formula which includes that electric guitar towards the end.

[EarthWalker]

❤❤❤❤❤ a favorite
Reach out and take it

[mattjohn]

Great band 🏁 Their name could refer to a cheap sex act, or the john who solicits it. But also their visual element was a cheap trick. With Rick and Bun E looking a bit like squares, with Robin and Tom looking real hip. Dig Surrender and I Want You To Want Me, live at Budokan, Japan! That was actually the hit version! They were a mass sensation there around '78! 💥🏁🎤🏁🎸🏁🥁🏁

[jons.]

A huge radio and chart hit--but the beginning of the end (creatively) for the band.

[Cashcrop]

Cheap Trick is a great live band. There is nobody else like them. Rick Neilson on lead is a character. Tom Peterson plays a 12-string bass. Bun E. Carlos is a stealth rocker. Robyn Zander has one of the best voices I heard live ever.

[betseyr.]

Yes!… Another Power Ballad from the 80’s, next one should be from Great White, "Save Your Love” (lead vocalist, Jack Russell who just died age 63 on 8/7/24, RIP), followed by Cutting Crew, "(I Just) Died In Your Arms” (these two won’t remind you of others you may have already heard from this era).
