  • THIS SONG CHANGED MY LIFE! THANKS WRITER AND SINGER OF THE SONGS

  • Inlov

  • I love when people misspell ly

  • Cook from Skins anybody?

  • Music writes the song not you XD

  • This guy is an amazing talent. A genius wasted on an egomaniac. I had the misfortuned of seeing him in concert when I was 12 years old. We had front row seats. He had a temper tantrum and stormed off stage. The temper tantrum resulted from someone who walked close to the stage to get a close up picture. The woman taking the picture fell and a couple of people giggled at her. This happened while he was singing a ballad. He told off the entire audience and stormed off stage.

  • The guy who wrote this - Bruce Johnston in 1975, according to Wikipedia - must've felt ancient when he wrote this. And apparently Manilow sang it in 1976? I don't know; Wiki might be wrong.

    Oh well. Good song. Turns out I also like Looks Like We Made It! XD

  • Fianlly I have found it! I love his man he is amazing and my best friends teast me alot about this and reading to much manga :P I'm the only one my group of freaids that know him from his epic songs! :D

  • How many people noticed that "soul" is misspelled?

  • SKINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • i met jesus i washed his fet for short term travel so fuck off

  • i met him the first time fucker. i washed his feet.

  • The song is being sung from "God's" point of view. Replace "I" with "God" and the song takes on a different meaning. This was what the original songwriter meant.

  • @jdalexander69 According to Barry, the "Spirit of Art (or Music)" writes the songs. Of course, the Spirit of Art is God the Holy Spirit.

  • @SuperXchloeX. Who the hell cares

  • @USSRandUSA I know, me too!!!!

  • Of course someone from the beach boys can write a song. Gee what do you think? They have hits of their own. This was just made for them.

  • Two and a half men <3

  • Thumbs up if you heard this on Two And A Half Men

  • 3 people suck

  • Next time I get really hammered I'm going to sing this, I don't care where I am.

  • Cook from skins go me here aha.

  • Written by Bruce Johnston from the Beach Boys.

  • i heard this of skins hahaa

  • Two and a Half men got me here

  • i heard this song on two and a half men.

    everytime i heard this song i laugh because i remember that episode.

  • @maggotXD1 I'm watching that episode right now!

  • hi

    

  • thumbs up if u fell in love with this song watching two and a half men :)

  • i write the raps that make the whole world shoot

  • whats the name of that first song that was written? hee hee

  • I'm a Christian and whenever I hear this song (which I really like) - I can't help but think of God.

    God is the Creator of all and He Does Create music and song!

    Thanks for posting this with the lyrics - been a while since I heard this.

  • @MsZathras Lucifer was the angel of music before he fell, take another look at the lyrics to this song.

  • @darius75240 I remember barry manilow saying that this song was auto written when he woke up this song was written and given to him(supernaturally). It is clear to see to the discerning christian that this song has nothing to do with god because god didnt write rock and roll nor does he write music to have people behave ecstatically. This song is clearly letting the world know that the devil, lucifer, satan is using barry manilow and also letting us know who he is...\he wrote the songs. wake up.

  • @mymanlovesme1 You're a fucking idiot!

  • @MsZathras The writer, Bruce Johnston, meant exactly that ~

    "I am music and I write the songs" ~ The "I" is GOD ~

    Music comes from GOD ~

    Peace,

    V

  • @MsZathras Fuck you, your god and your believes

    .

  • @MuquitaTheBeast THANKYOU :) FINALLY SOMEONE WHO AGREES :)

  • @MsZathras You are right! There is only one true god and he is the creator of all. Hail the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Pasta be with you.

  • Barry hit #1 in Billboard, 1-17-76. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Shalom, Barry!

  • skins

    

  • i write the songs..

    yet he didnt actually write this(:

  • @herpesarebad who cares!

  • That awkward moment when Barry didn't actually write this song...

  • @SuperXchloeX Never heard that one before...

  • @SuperXchloeX who did write? so many people have sung it :)

  • @SuperXchloeX I know, Satan did! lmao

  • Good point, touche good sir, and relax bro. its you tube haha. Well then that ones for NicholasPOGM then

  • to bad he didn't write the song

  • and in the blue corner, weighing in at lame, and standing lame feet tall, prophefixz! and in the red corner, weighing in at lamer and a whopping lamer feet, NicholasPOGM! reeaaddy FIGHT!

  • @YOUR6DOING6IT6WRONG He'd just sit there quoting psalms.

  • @prophefixz who the hell cares bro, he's a great singer with some different views. lots of singers quote the bible, it is quite a popular book. just get over your little argument dude its ignorant and you're making your self look like a jackass. awwww and you blocked NicholasPOGM? well that will show him! hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­ha your a tool.

  • @YOUR6DOING6IT6WRONG He blocked me, idiot. He IS a great singer it was Nicholas that said all this satanism bollocks. Why would i care if i look like a jackass when my youtube name renders me anonymous? :S Next time you make a comment, make sure you actually reply to the correct person... Tool. :)

    A quote just to help you in your understanding; "Your blocked. I made my point." = Nicholas. Enjoy.

  • oh my sweet jesus you guys are lame

  • How about you lames stop arguing about religion on a freakin Barry Manilow song. Its music, enjoy it.

  • Great song but the word sole should be spelled soul on the video. I listen to this song every week

  • Could you do 'Cant Smile Without you' with lyrics please? :)

    brilliant song & Video...

    Forever a 'Fanilow'

    ♥Luna

  • A great song by Mr. Barry Manilow...a song he didn't write! "I Write The Songs" was actually written by ex-Beach Boy Tom Johnston! A Billboard #1 from February 1976!

    Well done, Barry!

  • @ChihuahuaboyDH I'll admit I'm the first to screw up information in regard to my recent post. "I Write The Songs" was written by Bruce Johnston! I don't have the faintest idea as to how I ever came up with Tom Johnston! Wasn't Tom Johnston the former lead singer of the Doobie Brothers (before Michael McDonald joined & took over the lead singer spot for an ailing T. Johnston)?

  • @ChihuahuaboyDH Oh, and to make one more correction as to my original post: "I Write The Songs" peaked at the Billboard #1 position in January 1976! The single was released in November 1975!

  • @akosiking00, you are a simpleton. what a follower you are. is it a coincidence that you are contemptuous toward Christianity because it's trendy to do so. moreover, is it a coincidence that the more trendy it becomes to bash Christianity, the worse our country becomes. if Satan doesn't exist, then what is the origin of evil? Jesus freak, huh? again, that is a trendy term. stop being a follower, you nihilistic twit.

  • @pachbagheri Evil is concept invented by man. If man hadn't created the idea of "morality" there would be no knowledge of what is good nor what is evil. Why is a Chair called a chair? Because some "man" decided it was.

  • The "I" in this song is music. Music wrote the first song because without "music" how would there be songs?

  • @prophefixz GOOD POINT, SO TRUE.....

  • this song is about the devil, moron. listen caarefully to the lyrics, you nihilistic putz!!!! stop being trendy, to wit, stop being anti-Christian.

  • FLAMER FLAMER FLAMER! aka FAG or FAGGOT!!! GAY MAN!!!

  • Barry still a flamer though

  • @therealwhitecastal I love you too

  • Barry manilow is a genius :o)

  • Me gustaria escribir una cancion asi de buena ;)

  • @you2fun876 Speak english when you type on USA soil

  • Barry such a faggot.

  • @goop9 fuck you

  • Billboard's 425th #1 hit of the rock era. God bless ya for postin' it! Love you, and, I'm NOT gay!

  • just realised, that soul is spelt wrong, great tune

  • Im from Scotland and I grew up listening to punk my whole life, but i gotta say Berry is the shit.......

  • Some stupid comments on here about religion. All religion should be classified as a recreation, a passtime; something that you do in your own time that has no relevance to anyone else. It shouldn't be taught in schools. Followers should worship without any special dispensation, no time off work, no special treatment, no laws giving religious rights. It should be the same as going for a game of golf, a holiday, a game of tennis, baseball, football. Reiligion should be the same. Great song BTW!

  • WRITER TO WRITER- HEART TO HEART- WHO LOVES YOU WENDY ALEC??

  • herad this on full house

  • Three words, inspired by the Thing, come to mind whenever someone sings this song within earshot of me:

    "IT'S CLOBBERIN' TIME!!!"

  • Comment removed

  • u spelled soul wrong...

  • beautiful song...

  • Oh, those lyrics are beautiful. It that the Great Mind/God talking?

  • Does anybody know when modulation happens in this song? Thanks.

  • this is class.. pure & simple class.. beautiful song.

  • great song

    

  • I Remember Watching Stephanie On Full House Sing This While She Was Hula Hooping.

  • one of my favorite Barry Manilow songs

  • Isn't this song a little boastful?

    Nobody told me there was going to be boasting.

  • @ChrisHepditch omg. he is MUSIC. do you understand? the lyrics is 'i am music'

    so its not boasting. ok?

  • i wish wrote the songs he did to make the whole world sing.... cus.... then maybe wed have a happier place to live in... barry mannilo makes the entire world, if listened, would understand what this world should be made of and just live in peace and live as we are supposed too!!! god bless barry!!

  • @NicholasPOGM Though it may be true that Satan sang to God before he fell into sin, this does not mean singing or music is unrighteous and/or bad. God still wants us to 'Make a joyful noise to the Lord,' (Psalm 100). This can be music and singing. No, this does not mean you are delighting the Devil, but you are delighting God when you do this.

  • I just realized...this song is soo narcisist!! hahahaha!!! :)

  • @kevster2717 Not really. In the song, he says, "i am music" meaning this song is written from the perspective of music itself. He's saying what music itself would say if it could, not that he Barry Manilow is music. There's a difference.

  • 2 and a half men FTW!! lol jake and charley

  • this song is created by satan!

  • @akosiking00 what are you trying to say buddy?

  • @Geeksquad541 i heard that this song was created actually by satan an based on research when barry manilow sang this song for thefirst time he was actually possesed just saying dude :)

  • @akosiking00

    You realize of course that Barry didn't write this song. One of the Beach Boys, Bruce Johnston, did (and he's a Jesus freak that wrote the song about God). Bruce Johnston has been quoted, "I wrote it about 'where music comes from' (for me, music comes only from God)".

    Anyway, the whole idea that "Satan" exists is ridiculous. You might as well believe in the Easter Bunny and the tooth fairy while you're at it.

  • @lou2u Thanks for the theology lesson.

  • @mustwinder

    I was responding to the idiot that said this song was written by "Satan". Some Bible beaters have it in there heads that this song is about the devil.

  • @lou2u I thought Stairway to Heaven was written by Satan?

  • @lou2u i agree but don't call us bible bashers please, just extreme christians think like that

  • @akosiking00 how in any way is this "created" by satan?

  • Barry Manilow pretty much owns my soul. I love this man.

  • uve no place in my soul you peice of shit

  • Who doesn't love this song XD

  • sampled?

  • This is one of the best songs he's ever sang. I love them all. Thank you for posting!

  • really? sole? its soul lol, imma see this guy at the mgm, my life has officially ended, wish me luck i survive through it. METAL FTW!

  • @DrSmotpoker Lmao I'm glad I'm not the only that caught the misspelling :P

  • I was and am, a Barry Manilow fan. Used to go to see him at N E C Birmingham, when he still toured the uk. P. J. Proby, who unless you can remember the late 60,s you will not have heard of, also does this song justice, in his appearences on stage, right now. Two very good, comparable versions, of the song.

  • This song deserves to be recognized, no matter how old you are. Seriously. There's no shame in liking this kind of music. And if you're so strangely paranoid that you would call this the "work of the Devil", it's quite obvious you're rather excessively confused or desperate for attention.

  • He sings everylthing perfect!!!!

  • Reminds me of Cook from Skins lol

  • david cassidy's version of this song is so much better then this

  • As you listen to the lyrics, keep this in mind. Satan was the very first angel created. He was actually the one who sang unto God before he fell in sin. He was the angel of music. So, yes. He has been "alive forever." He did write "the very first song." And when he is "in your heart... he feels young again, even though he is very old." There are many statements in this song that are extremely evil to say the least. The ones I shared here are but a few. This is why music is so messed up today.

  • @NicholasPOGM hvor har du din ide fra???

  • @NicholasPOGM thanks for the say. :D

  • @NicholasPOGM Get help.

  • @NicholasPOGM tru but God us the one who permits he waa there before all of that so it could very well God! cuz God was there before it all just because God assinged lucifer doesnt mean he cant write songs and music! lol wow too deep on stuff brah!

  • @NicholasPOGM Wait so you are saying that when I listen to music I'm worshiping Satan?

  • @TheMCRmy4ever No, but it will lead there eventually. The word worship simply means to obey.

  • @NicholasPOGM But I obey God. I love music. And when I'm at church we sing abot god. How does that mean obeying Satan? I listen to music of different varties but I don't feel any difference. I really don't belive you but I respect your opinions.

  • @TheMCRmy4ever Satan is the angel of music. Do the math. PLUS, Science has already proven the rock beat affects the heart in a bad way which in turn causes the brain to generate too many chemicals causing euphoria. Do you recall the "certain damsel" that was walking behind Paul? (Acts 16:16-) She was saying Paul preached truth. But he ended up casting a demon out of her. You cannot use Satan's tools to speak of God anymore than that damsel could.

  • @NicholasPOGM You know what? I don't know you so why should I listen to some guy on youtube about my religion. You might be a internet prededor for all I know. I'm gonna ask my pastor about this. And don't even pull a "That's what the people told Jesus" thing on me cause your just some guy I started talking to.

  • @TheMCRmy4ever Sounds good. Ask him by all means. But if he doesn't know about Satan being the angel of music, read Ezekiel 28:12. Those "tabrets" & "pipes" are musical instruments INSIDE his body.

  • @NicholasPOGM I think I know more about my beliefs than you. No efense but don't you have anything better to do? Seriously man.

  • @TheMCRmy4ever I never asked you about your beliefs. I merely warned you about the angel of music. As for not having anything better to do. What's better? Seeking to help a fellow human being walk a better walk so as to make it home to Heaven? Or insulting him for trying? No need to answer... I forgive you. And I'm done here. If truth offends, I shake the dust off my feat of those it offends and move on. ...just following orders.

  • @NicholasPOGM Um can you just seriously just leave me alone? Geez.....

  • @NicholasPOGM If satan is the angel of music then why do people sing in Church? Just throwing that out there.

  • @prophefixz Satan used to sing hymns and songs of worship before he fell. Those songs are still sung in churches. The songs Satan sings today are by no means church worthy.

  • @NicholasPOGM I'm pretty sure you are taking things a bit TOO seriously mate. The devil isn't going to possess you for listening to barry manilow, if that was the case, then nearly ever old person in america would be running around like the exorcist by now.

  • @prophefixz You obviously have no clue as to how Satan works. He doesn't cause everyone to puke green and spin heads. Most people just follow his lead in regards to smoking, drinking, fornication, watching R rated movies, etc,.,. Or as prophecy says, most will simply be immoral. And where in any of my comments did I say EVERYONE listens to Manilow? He's just ONE singer of the thousands out there doing Satan's bidding.

  • Comment removed

  • @prophefixz You obviously have no idea what wine means in Scripture. It means fermented AND unfermented grape juice. In fact, Daniel the prophet declared wine defiles the body, yet you expect people to believe Jesus would drink wine while telling his prophets not to? And there's not a SINGLE BIBLE VERSE that says Jesus smoked. I challenge you to PROVE he smoked! As for fornication, there are hundreds of verses proving you lied here. But then, this is the mind of today's lust filled world

  • Comment removed

  • @prophefixz YOU made the claim that there was a verse said He smoked. So SHOW THE VERSE. As for Christianity being a fraction. Yes, I will agree with that. the REAL Christians are prophesied to be a small remnant. Still, if you count what you claim as Christians, your wrong again. If you mix Catholics who claim to be Christians and Protestants who claim Christ Lord you have 2.1 BILLION with Islam running second at 1.5. Anyone with access to Google can prove you lied there too.

  • Comment removed

  • @prophefixz Animals don't FORNICATE, they breed. The Biblical definition of fornicate is illicit sex. As for Christianity being middle eastern. No, wrong again. What Catholics call Christianity is PAGAN in origin. I am one of the remnant Christians that expose the Catholic religion along with the corrupted Protestant religions that adopt Catholic/Pagan theology. I have over 7000 pages of facts on my main site at RemnantofGodDOTorg. You see, I PROVE what I say with facts so as to expose liars.

  • Comment removed

  • @prophefixz 2000 years ago is wasn't called "Middle eastern" when it came to religion. Society today is not the same as back then. But nice try.

    Tell you what.. SHOW ME THE VERSE that says He smoked, and we can move on from there. Ok?

  • Comment removed

  • @prophefixz YOU made the claim that "Jesus smoked and drank alcohol" so it is up to YOU to prove that using Scripture. Trying to get me to come up with the Bible verses that prove you are a liar are not going to work because you will twist them like you have twisted everything else. Bottom line is YOU MADE THE CLAIM and you have to step up and PROVE WHAT YOU SAID. I never said Jesus smoked and drank alcohol. YOU DID. All I asked was for you to PROVE IT. The fact you refuse proves YOU LIED.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @prophefixz Still avoiding the question? YOU SAID JESUS SMOKED AND DRANK ALCOHOL.. please share with everyone here the Bible verses that say this. Stop trying to evade the issue. All you need to do is ADMIT YOU LIED or SHOW THE VERSES. It's that easy

  • Comment removed

  • @prophefixz Yes it is a LIE. YOU SAID He smoked, YOU LIED. Period. As for it being wrong to do. Everyone knows smoking is lethal. In fact, the tobacco companies admitted it in a court of law. Plus, most (trustworthy) doctors and 100% all natural doctors state alcohol poisons the body. Now, are you aware the Bible says if you defile/destroy the TEMPLE which is your body you will be destroyed eternally? See 1 Cor 3:17. PLUS, 1 Cor. 6:10 says "drunkards" are NOT ALLOWED IN HEAVEN. Nuff said?

  • @NicholasPOGM I lied. but you evade every unanswerable question out there. No proof that a rock beat causes damage to the heart. No argument against the fact that they drank wine at last supper. There's no changing your opinion because you are too engrossed in your own opinion. Narrow mindedness should be a sin :)

  • @prophefixz I've done my homework, Science has proven the beat of music can affect the heart rate. Anyone that Googles it can see you lied yet again. That was my point all along. Liars are so easy to expose. Yes, I know you won't believe the scripture, but the elect will. That's all that matters. I'll pray for you of course, and I do hope you come out of sin. Especially now since so many end time prophecies are fulfilling lately. BTW.. no need to respond. Your blocked. I made my point.

  • @NicholasPOGM Yawn. Turn a church hymn to max volume and your heart rate will increase. Yell boo in someones year it will increase. Loud Music of any kind can cause a defence mechanism which increase adrenaline but if you want to say it's just in rock music be my guest. No prophecies are being fulfilled; if you knew anything about the scientific nature of the earth you would know earthquakes are natural and building on a flood plain isn't a smart idea. See you in 2013 :)

  • @prophefixz sorry you don't believe in prophecies... but its true that prophecies are being fulfilled ...look at matthew 24:6-8 :D all of the things are coming to pass... and our Jesus is coming soon :D

  • @jaomonk1 Well it's only christians that believe this then because Jesus isn't the messiah in the other abrahamic religions of judaism or islam.

  • @NicholasPOGM I'm afraid that only God knows the real truth and all we can do is speculate...also be careful not to take things too literally because You may be wrong!!!

  • @opendtuning Deuteronomy 29:29 says clearly that, "The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law." I am a Christian. I hold the Bible in my hand that I know for a fact my God has written. I have 66 books wherein I need not "speculate." In fact, the book of Ezekiel even tells us that Satan was in fact the angel of music.

  • @NicholasPOGM OK, I don't understand what this has to do with this great song but "I am a Christian. I hold the Bible in my hand that I know for a fact my God has written." are you kidding me?? you don't know for a fact if you can't prove it, learn the English language...

  • @fdouglas89 If you were truly a Christian then James 1:26 would apply and insults would not be an issue with you as the Holy Spirit would have bridled your tongue. I forgive you for seeking to sew discord suggesting I do not understand my own language. No need to respond. You are blocked. Why? I am a Christian and I do not want to tempt you to do wrong by me again. For everyone else. READ THE LYRICS and keep in mind as you read it is plainly written in the Word that Satan is the ANGEL OF MUSIC.

  • @NicholasPOGM hahahahahahaha you're insane! good job i'm not christian then eh? otherwise my tongue would be briddled??

  • @NicholasPOGM "Satan is the angel of music". Glen Benton taught me that. Go rape an alter boy.

  • @MrEvilSprinkles if you learned something like that.. be a good example, instead of saying rape an altar....

  • @fdouglas89 You don't understand for a very good reason... This song has nothing to do with Satan. Some people are just odd and need some kind of life fulfilment from youtube comments.

  • you write the songs that make other people vomit!

  • Love Barry ! your song is timeless !

  • what an epic song...gorgeous

  • I don't care what anyone says I love Barry Manilow..............

  • ok Hi I subscribed ..can you make a video for ,"All The Time", by Barry Mannilow. Please
