  • if u hit disslike u suck!

  • To anyone complaining about this song: It saddens me to think anyone is

    waiting to shoot you down, no matter what/why/how. Some ppl fly flags of hatred and discontent, just for the fuck of it. Ignore them, and fly through the sky--till some asshole shoots you down. It's a sad statement, damn shame. Fly on my wayward sons, and don't let their verbal arrows pierce your spirit, nor your resolve. Haters are just waiting to self-destruct. They're weak in spirit & soul. Left alone they wither away.

  • This band was 1st concert I ever saw,at Nassau Coliseum, NY.I was 4th row...they TORE IT UP.I was floored, I was blown AWAY., it was 1972 I think.Times were different, we were there for quality music, and we were given QUALITY music, no Dancing, prancing, preprogramed smut, writen by a team of computer freaks...this was freakin ROCK/ROLL Paul Rodgers was at the top of his game, the band was smokin.......kids today will never understand the purity

  • The man was possessed. What an artist.

  • my speakers wont go any louder :*(( waaaaaahhh!!!! You know what that means time for another upgrade this set just aint big enough lol (^_^)

  • This song was first played for me by my boyfriend, sitting on a big rock in Tahoe National forest some 33 or so years ago. This song for me is my life song, Thanks Alan!

  • I can play guitar better, and the seagulls need to be shot because they fuck with aircraft engines.

  • @bearing44 You're an idiot, guaranteed you cant play guitar as good, go fly a kite

  • @bearing44 your a jerkoff

  • @bearing44 guitar skill is overrated. you can be the most technical skilled guitar player there is but it doesnt mean your ever going to do anything with it, or that you can even write a song.

  • haunting... even as a child it was a favorite... brings tears...

  • I love this song and it makes me feel proud. As a survivor of DV, I feel like I got up the nerve to fly away to my joy to others sorrow.

  • when somebody shoots you down..get up and fly again..

  • @jlkhml Peace to you and your brother. I love this song, so in reality, I am also your brother.

    If your brother loved this song, he was more than popular fad, he was real deal.

    You are lucky to have known your brother.

    May you live long and prosper.

  • Flyyyyy to your tomorrow ...

  • I lost my bro as well....this is a song for the ages!

  • @jlkhml I'll be there for you, my friend, as we all will be.

  • I feel your pain man,take this song as you and his song and use it to remind you of all the good things man,the good times..The victories you shared.

    And may god make the time that you grieve pass quickly away.

    I like to think that now is the time when your brother looks down and watches you-and that you should(and WILL) make him proud!.If i could give you a hug i would man.God speed

  • i dont get the kids who say lmfao are music geniuses im 14 years old and this is the kind of music i like the most it really takes talent to make its all real no machines

  • jikhml.. just saw your post.. so very sorry for your loss.. hopefully someday this will bring you sweet memories of your brother..I am best friends with my big brother and I dread the day I will be going through what you are.. bless you .. I hope you find peace in your memories ..

  • Everyday I read music blogs, check newspapers and watch music TV shows in the hope of a band with as much ability as Bad Company. If we could only break free from the manufactured pop garbage we have to live with today and see the beauty in great music again the world would be a better place.

    PS - @jikhml - That was a very passionate comment about your brother Bill. Im sure every music fan watching this video will send our wishes to him.

  • This IS a beautiful song.

  • This is the most beautiful song ever.

    I wish that this song was bigger in today's society. It's amazing. Bad Company had sooo much talent! I swear I was born wayy after my time.

  • incredibly beautiful!

  • @jlkhml You hit the nail right on the head my friend. The instense personal experiences and emotions that a great song gives us is what makes music so special. This really is a beautiful song. God bless your brother and may he fly free forever

  • my brother was 46 when killed in a auto accident.he played this for my aunts in w va. 10 years ago.i have it on video tape,would love to add it to the tube,when i can figure it out,its beautiful,,,,

  • @jlkhml thanks for sharing, as sorry I am for your loss I think it`s nice to see some comments with meaning behind them like yours and not random jibberish you see alot of on youtube.

  • I love this song...It has to be one of the best Bad company songs ever!!!

  • @jlkhml my wife passed away two days before this last x-mas but I don't have any words of wisdom to drop. I'm trying to figure all this out myself. Good luck to you brother.

  • There, a free replay button for you al: 0:00

  • To all the Seagulls I've loved before !

  • @jlkhml Oh Sweetheart I share your pain, and am thinking about you. I think it's true to say that for so many there is no peace on earth, but they find it somewhere, just not here. I think it's fair to say that Bill has peace now, where he is, and I pray that this in turn gives some peace to your grieving heart <3

  • R.I.P. HOLLY.. HUNG HERSELF AT 26 YRS OLD... LEAVING 2 YOUNG CHILDREN.. U WILL BE MISSED.. GO ON AND FLY

  • luv this song

  • @jlkhml My brother too...he was a child of 60's who drank far too much and imbibed far too many drugs and he passed away four years ago ( I am not suggesting that your brother did the same) but one of my brother's favourite songs was this......but he was an innocent soul who appreciated good music as I am sure your brother did too...and I miss him very much, as I am sure you do too, every day...RIP xx

  • jlk, sorry to hear of your loss bud, im 53 and as i feel my time growing closer( cancer,copd, emphysema and a truckload of other problems) i feel the significance of the music ive listened to over m y life and the songs that still touch my soul, this is one such song that reminds me my brothers are in the wind waiting, and one day ill be going home...

  • @jlkhml Rest in peace Bill !

  • Rapped the replay button

  • woody

    

  • If I could sing like Paul Rodgers I would never talk again.

  • I'm seeing Bad Company Saturday at our local memorial day fesival its gonna rock!

  • @jlkhml Your brother is in a better place man. And someday you'll be with him again.

  • @jlkhml My condolences on the loss of your beloved brother. I also know the pain of a lost loved one. Your comment makes this song all the more meaningful. Peace be unto you and yours...

  • @jlkhml I know what you mean I have lost both of my sisters one was 36 and the other 44, this song made me think of both of them for some reason.....we all three use to listen to Bad Company growing up.....

  • Love this song, I use to listen to Bad Company and I don't remember this one but I love it!

  • Love this song! Makes me think of my trip to Yachats, Oregon. Most beautiful coastline I've ever seen!

  • @soonerdarlin Heck yeah!!! What a place! I've never heard this song before in all the time I've been listening to these guys! That's what I get for never buying one of their albums. This is a gem!!!

    Wow!!

  • eponymous....

  • Comment removed

  • @jlkhml Sweet Jlk~ I returned today because I needed to hear this song. It's then I saw your comment. You brought me to my knees. I wept. I understand as much as I possibly can without actually being you. Re: the "shutted door" reference; I meant your Bill's in a place where larceny of the heart's an unknown concept..Please read my post again, I promise it will make sense. It's people like you who grace this world w/your presence. No sorrow equates callousness.

    Remain Beautiful~

  • why is lady gaga's ass a suggestion?

  • I have always liked this song but a few years ago I work off shore on some oil platforms and this song took on a whole new meaning to me.....love it!!

  • @roadragecbrrf3 I've traveled a bit in my life and I'll tell you a truth. People who're drawn to water are always gentle souls with an intrinsic spiritual compass. I've found the same to be true of equine lovers. Regardless, I understand the duality meaning. In Seattle I sat on a pier. Perched on a post was a seagull. Call me crazy, but the bird seemed to understand I was admiring its tenacity to claim that spot. It could have flown at anytime. Only until I stood did she fly..an hr. later.

    MoX~

  • @MsMoxieLady Very well said!

  • Bad Company is responsible for my marijuana addiction!

  • listened to him sing this last night in newcastle......... he`s still got it !!! well done Mr rodgers....

  • This is my all-time favorite song....

  • Honestly makers of the movie Friday Night Lights couldnt have put a better song at the end of the movie

  • This is just a really good song!!! I don't give a shit about music politics! This is just a really bitchin tune!! Got a 10 Challenger and did a 1080 degree burnout in the parking lot tonight and after made out with my girl to this somewhere else!! It does not get better than that!!!!

  • @jlkhml - I am sorry for your loss. You will see him on the other side someday, smile for that day. : )

  • @adamsra2000 Very well said!

  • @jlkhml may he rest in peace

  • I love Bad Company songs but till now I never really appreciated just how good a singer Paul Rodgers is. So much depth and soul he sings with. They are an under rated band. Great lyrics, great music, and some of the greatest vocals! Thanks for all who posted these songs.

  • 2 people hate seaguls

  • wow the years just fell away there on hearing this for the first time in i don't know how long. and suddenly i'm 17 again

  • So so goooooddddd !!!

  • i have this album signed by paul rodgers

  • @EvH920410 ill buy it for a million bucks! lol

  • totally agree, amazing voice,

  • Now this song brings back some wonderful memories that I will always remember that I know I wont ever relive those moments.

  • it brings tears

  • 444 likes, lol

  • really, one dislike???!!! should be none!

  • thomas e webster

  • Beautiful, isn't it?

  • beautiful, isn't it?

  • this song is the best ever made

  • I do hope none will attempt to really shoot down the "Seagull". To do so will be tantamount to what happened in classical poem: "I shot the albatross"; after which a great crisis set in. An interesting tune.

  • Joe bonamssa's cover of this is so good. I love this song.

  • OMG BEST CD AND BAND EVER!!!

  • paul was one of the best lead singers of all time, love this son

  • Paul Rogers is the most under rated vocalist..He is such a great talent.

  • that's it! Awesome godda luvvit til somebody nanana na na na shoots u down

    flying around minding u own biz til some fuk says nah man u suk

  • Put the needle on and flip over. That's all you need to do with this masterpiece from Bad Co

  • my fav song of all time now :)

  • Someone that I should have married, played this for me, on his guitar, almost 20 years ago. I will always and forever have that regret. I am sorry David, so very sorry...

  • @radioheadkids2

    Wow, thats heavy. And very nice of you to write.

  • Friday Night Lights Brought me here

  • @scroggdogg28 Great movie.....Every time I watch it I still want it to end better for Permian.

  • 1 person would rather feed an alka-seltzer to a seagull

  • This is a great song!

  • One dislike.

    One.

    I feel so awesome knowing that this has one dislike and like videos of babies and shit probably have more.

  • beautiful song brings a tear to my eye thanks

  • AMAZING SONG!!!

  • The greatest all time rock vocalist, Paul Rodgers! Bad Company, a rock legend from the time when the rock gods ruled the earth!!

  • StrongmanManNY, Yes, the song is phenomenal. Also like Led Zep. I just think the words are so awesome. Thanks for the comment. And again shortbusrider1108 thanks for posting.

  • could someone please post the song Mornin Sun?

  • @dbarnett714 Posted it, if you know any other good songs that should be on youtube, but aren't there yet, make sure they get on it :P

  • I saw them in 74' when they first came out with BadCo album......Great fricking show!!

  • My favorite Bad Company song. Love the words & playing. Real deep meaning for me. Till somebody shoots you down. Thanks ever so much for posting.

  • @Lobsterlady2362 Yes, good song and band. I had the pleasure of meeting and working ( security ) with their manager, the late Peter Grant, when he bought Led Zep to NYC a long, long time ago.

  • love this song!

  • I was truly pleased when I had the oportunity to see Bad Co. in the mid 90's. I took my 15 year old daughter with me. It was an outdoor concert with Bad Co., Billy Squire and Styx, Oh wow....I was in heaven! Everyone was up on their feet and singing along. A day I wish I could repeat MANY times. It is said that music like what we had in the 60's and 70's isn't done anymore. :(

  • i just love ,love this song.. pure Paul Rogers

  • AMAZIN AMAZING SONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • And the memories flood my brain and bring me back to those grand days of peace, love and joy.
