Yeah. It can relate to people, who have relationship problems, friendship problems and even family problems. The song "Carrie" is about saying goodbye and understanding that life can change unexpectedly. The song encourages the listener to cherish and appreciate the present moments with the ones they care about. The singer is saying goodbye to someone named Carrie, but it could also refer to any situation or relationship where two people have to part and not be together again. The singer conveys the emotion of the situation by using the lyrics "Can't you see it in my eyes? That this might be our last goodbye" to emphasize the sadness of saying goodbye. The song ultimately hopes for future reunions and for everything to work out in the end.

Yes! This sure brings back all the old feels. Loved this song so much! 🥰❤️ Love this type of 80’s rock ballads. So so good.

Oh yes, school dance in late 80's, slow dance with a girl in a dim gymnastic hall. One of the rare moments you got so close with a girl as young teenager. Definitely nostalgic.

Haven't heard that in years. That was on the radio so much when I was young. Yes about 100 years ago 😋😋😋

If I could sing like that and the price was to have that hair style, id take it.

Wow this takes me back to my teenage years when I loved Joey Tempest and knew the whole album back to front. 😂

The hair from those days 😆 Great song with a different vibe.

At the time I wore a similar hairstyle and could do the moves from "The Final Countdown" (proudly). Damn, I can barely dance "Carrie" today.😂😂 great times

great band with many great songs!!!

Good song. Good reaction. "Tomorrow" is another great song by them. Powerful ballad.

Check out Open Your Heart with Europe! Its both a ballad and a goddamn good hardrock song ❤🤘

What a damn good song!!!!!!!

Many years back 😂😂 Such a beautiful song!!! Must check out to the song "I was made for loving you" -KISS.Awesome reaction Lee!!!!

Great memories in this song. You might check out their songs Rock The Night and Superstitious.

Não conheci Europe nos anos 80. Amo Europe do passado e amo hoje. Estão maravilhosos!

A lover can also be a friend...

Great song, but my favorite was Open your heart ❤️

Europe are still recording albums & touring regularly, I've seen them many times. Carrie is not representative of the band's music, it's a great song but was taken from The Final Countdown album which was a rather commercial keyboards album & perhaps a bit poppy. They are a proper rock band & made many super albums & are amazing on stage.

Love this song, I think this came out in 1986

In 2015, Joey explained who Carrie’s song is about: “The usual breakup and the search for a new girl. In fact, it was more of an ordinary thing.”

please do Rock the Night with Europe

I think the friend part is mostly due to them being swedish, here the word can sometimes have a slightly different mening, it means something like lover that is also very close to my heart. But if I’m being honest I think this song is mostly about Joey trying to get out of a ”situation”… there are lots of girls in the world when you look and sing like that😆

The song said " my friend" because he wants that the girl get clear that he doesnt feel the same love as a couple..he is breaking the relation..and its no logic that he said...my love or my baby...this is what a call a cruel way to break up without anesthesia..but honest like a blow against the wall of truth..😅

OMG I was such a Joey Tempest fangirl back in the day! 😍😍😍 Europe were a great rock band that were overshadowed by Bon Jovi. They had a friendly rivalry I believe. 'The Final Countdown' was their biggest hit (what a banger!!!) but they had other good tracks too. This is one of my favourite songs by them. I used to have a vhs tape of theirs with the video for this, The Final Countdown,and Rock the Night on there. It was a prized possession and died from overplaying 🤣🤣🤣 You're right, they just don't make 'em like they used to.

Given you a like!! becaouse you have notice the extremely amazing voice of joey tempest ..he has a perfecgly tuned tenor voice and for me the most warm and sweet voice of de 80s rock band...im fan since those days..now in my 60's im so sad becaouse the horrible music of the last years...great that you have notice how good they were an are..they are still making music and doing concerts ..the lastes albums were nomination to a grammys !! But the music industry is now in evil plan ( like doing satanic rituals on music awards) and doesnt promote classic rock like they should...you maybe should try todays albums..like last look at eden or walk the earth...amazing and most hard rock than in the 80s...you will enjoy it!!! Good video my friend..take care!!

He wants to be more than friends but he never pass the friend zone😁 and now he is done

Só um detalhe, lembrei de uma coisa quando vi o guitarrista kee Marcelo. Aquela guitarra foi parar na mão do Tommy Johansson, que legal isso ter acontecido, foi parar em ótimas mãos. De um guitarrista pra outro. Outra voz que eu amava era do JOEY, muito límpida e clara e melodiosa. Que pena que ele perdeu aquele alcance que tinha, mas hoje ele ainda canta muito bem.💯😎👍🎤

👍👍👍

It’s about a breakup. Come on, us Swedes have English as a second language. Sometimes we miss out on the finer details. In Swedish, you could call your lover friend, especially when comforting them, which he is trying to do at this moment.

Devil sings the blues Is a great Song, sure ya will enjoy it

nice reaction...

Epic🇸🇪live 1986(in sweden)

Swedish!!

Not beiing direspectfull or intendet, I love his voice, but my littlebabyboydoggymister looked like Joey, his name is Baco, so I sing this song along but carrie is baco in my song

I'm just asking react to them please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Joe , the singer was 17-18 years old when he wrote these songs, so, this is a breake up song

Mate what you have against hybridtheorypt??? Why you don't make a react on them.. As they are the best linkin park tribute in the world.. Are because they not British or USA band ???

what the hell jajajajaja the first time that you hear carrie of europe? when sounds 100000 in the radio? jajaja obvious is a joke.

What a great ballade! You might also like Cinderella's "Nobody's Fool", from their (triple-platinum) debut album "Night Songs" in 1986 . Tom Keifer's voice is one of a kind.
