- 0:02Speaker 1: Narrow Collins, Musics Lost History, the stories that made to
- 0:13Speaker 1: your soundtrack on fire, Music's Lost History. Name the song
- 0:21Speaker 1: far Way.
- 0:22Speaker 2: There used to be a time when radio, MTV, v
- 0:25Speaker 2: H one, and YouTube used to put a lot of
- 0:27Speaker 2: importance in the physical act of sharing stories Music's lost history.
- 0:32Speaker 2: My name is Era, Do you know the name? What
- 0:38Speaker 2: songs do you say?
- 0:42Speaker 1: Musics Lost History?
- 0:46Speaker 2: Name the song is a Way to Arrow Collins is Back.
- 0:53Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we are back back with more of music's
- 0:57Speaker 2: lost history. Some might say this song is part of
- 1:00Speaker 2: that power ballad movement that consumed the nineteen eighties and nineties.
- 1:04Speaker 2: I mean, all rock bands were almost required to do
- 1:06Speaker 2: a slow song, but this song reached beyond that genre.
- 1:10Speaker 2: Not a ballad, but a story about vulnerability and the
- 1:14Speaker 2: pain of reality and how nothing lasts forever. Axel started
- 1:19Speaker 2: writing the song in the nineteen eighties, years before there
- 1:22Speaker 2: was even a band. He always wanted a song that
- 1:25Speaker 2: was larger than life and not a rock song. Now,
- 1:27Speaker 2: according to Axel, if two people are truly in love,
- 1:31Speaker 2: they'll face multiple storms. The video itself gave even a
- 1:35Speaker 2: bigger impact. It unveiled supermodel Stephanie Seymour. Now Here's the thing.
- 1:40Speaker 2: The bride dies in the video. The answer has never
- 1:44Speaker 2: been released. The video was inspired by the short story
- 1:48Speaker 2: Without You from author Dell James. It tells the tale
- 1:52Speaker 2: of a rock star devastated by the loss of love.
- 1:56Speaker 2: The song we're talking about November Rain from Guns and
- 2:00Speaker 2: Roses back. We're coming back.
- 2:05Speaker 1: Music's lost history. Name song before we do?
- 2:16Speaker 2: Collins is coming? Hey? Coming up next? Since we're on
- 2:21Speaker 2: the subject of love songs or powered ballads, how about
- 2:24Speaker 2: that love song that doesn't involve heartbreak or uncertainty? Jesus, Hey,
- 2:38Speaker 2: thanks for coming back to Music's lost history. A collection
- 2:41Speaker 2: of lasting, committed love shows up in a lot of music.
- 2:45Speaker 2: Now this one doesn't involve heartbreak or uncertainty. What Yeah.
- 2:50Speaker 2: This song has been described as being inside a relationship
- 2:53Speaker 2: that feels more like home and always wanting to hold
- 2:56Speaker 2: on to it. The songwriter admits it was inspired by
- 3:00Speaker 2: being present in a stable of very happy relationships. It
- 3:04Speaker 2: had to sound timeless. It could be played at weddings
- 3:07Speaker 2: in the nineteen seventies as well as the twenty forties.
- 3:10Speaker 2: It features a warm waltz like rhythm with heartfelt lyrics.
- 3:14Speaker 2: Now Taylor says the song simplicity is so important. It's
- 3:19Speaker 2: about someone who is ordinary and is living a very
- 3:23Speaker 2: normal life with someone else. It wasn't written to be
- 3:26Speaker 2: a wedding song, and yet, like I mentioned before, it's
- 3:28Speaker 2: been featured inside Weddings as the first dance. Now, why
- 3:32Speaker 2: did fans like this song? Because it showed how much
- 3:36Speaker 2: Taylor Swift was maturing, not only as a songwriter but
- 3:40Speaker 2: as a performer and lover was part of it. Music,
- 3:49Speaker 2: Hi Marrow, and that's music's lost history.
