Lenny Kravitz - I Build This Garden For Us

[LatinaSpicy08]

love the song beautiful meaning

[sherriaris]

awesome song.

[Jefgg]

I used to think Lenny was singing "I build this ... goddamn".

[LatinaSpicy08]

this is a lovely song , i love it and the video , i am glad virgin records uploaded this because the video quality is alot better than the other channels. how come this video only has 300,000 views ? i dont get it and his love video only has bout 500,00 views. he is a under appreciated artist but thats ok because he already reached out and touched a few people , he is a musical genius .the meaning behind this song is special. i like it makes me think about somebody close to my heart.

[javoneybaby]

lenny kravitz is in a class of his own

[Usurped]

Dont know why but this reminds me of John Lennon, nice song!

[aishaxoxobela]

@Usurped i know exactly why. it takes you away from the problems of the world and is about peace love and understanding

[Malagatikitaki23]

Zapomniałam o tym, że ma taką piosenkę... A kiedyś słucham jej jeszcze na kasecie. :)

[001edwards]

this is a pretty awesome garden 0_+

[CreeWilly]

that old dude? is that his grandfather?

[aishaxoxobela]

@CreeWilly yeah it is! such a classy old man

[CreeWilly]

@aishaxoxobela: The old mans got style, ill give him that...

[LatinaSpicy08]

@aishaxoxobela hes not old

[aishaxoxobela]

@LatinaSpicy08 umm @CreeWilly and I were talking about Lenny's classy grandpa featured in this video. yes he is old. but he's got soul :)

[patuxentkid]

JESUS SAVES

[patuxentkid]

lenny, belives

[FloydianMario]

This song reminds me something about The Beatles ...

[CreeWilly]

@FloydianMario: i see what u mean...

[TheHeavensSpear]

wow...It was a song that I went on for months singing...

I was so proud of him for making this...

I used to wish I looked like him or terrence trent darby or maxi priest...

now i would be satisfied to look like used to...

feel so old

This is a song of devotion..and hopefulness

[ZaheedaNaheedya]

@TheHeavensSpear You are farrr better looking and talented and sensual than them... None of these men have anything on you... Now and then. Happiness and rest and play time would bring out the youth in you. I know it. Don't count yourself short. I'm the shortie.

[eshnic]

@ZaheedaNaheedya that is such a sweet thing to say to someone. :)))))))))) bless you.

[sabcy0416]

この頃が大好きです。



[bonomid]

i can still listen to this after so many years and still think it's unique and ageless ... and also thanks to those folks at virgin who signed him up

[tubbawubba]

Lenny, you are at least 10-25 years ahead of your peers with your musical, political and social commentary. you are the most stylish and tremendously elegant musician of our age

big love from Scoltandshire

[chefboy1976]

such a great song with a great message

[Dolphinluver459]

y cant we c real talent like this anymore in 2010?

[northbelfast1]

I was lucky enough to see him live at the Town & Country club in Camden Town in 1989, can't believe its over twenty years and still love this tune and the album more everytime I hear it. The profound depth of his lyrics are awesome as this track clearly demostrates. Timeless excellence!

[javoneybaby]

@northbelfast1 it was an amazing c.d. wasn't it?I feel the same way.

[ThaLynx]

song is awesome

but seems that he's saying i built this "goddamn" for us xD

[ppaappaagg]

nice chords in this song......thanks for posting

[DavilaMr09]

aimer ou ne pas aimer?

[splatttt49]

i built an outhouse for gus

[arielioness]

@splatttt49 hilarious!

[blitzmax13]

je te prepare un lit de fleurs, Anne mon amour m entends tu ?

[Alicia1984NL]

Love this song so much!!

[VexBlack]

Can someone tell me, seriously, why I love Rock & Roll so much, yet I missed out on Lenny's contributions for so many years? Ahh, well, everything in its own time I suppose. God bless you Lenny!

[mnjokim]

@VexBlack i missed out on a lot of his work, too. it's great to see it all now. i can appreciate it more.

[gewoonpito]

hee u tube als je er 1 blokkeert haal em dan gewoon weg.steeds meer reclame,ben er niet bly mee

[chicoeastunitmug]

i pictured this video so different than what it is.this song is raw but i pictured the video to be more mystical and the forest was like in an island setting and a fire was burning and it was a very happy place with lots of people smoking ganga without worries....i built this garden for us.

[rromyja24]

World Peace could be realized if everyone took this message to heart and let it happen. So give it a shout out loud and see how much better our world could be;-) Peace and Love to all!!

[August1977]

The 'Abbey Road' bass line rocks..

[lilleo1968]

Lenny is amazing... An unapreciated jewel. I love the way he uses 1970's tech to get a retro sound.

[mnjokim]

@lilleo1968 i didn't appreciate him as much as i do now. he is pure talent.

[SmileyGarrish]

@lilleo1968 'unappreciated jewel'? the guys is worth $50 million or more......can I have some 'unappreciation'

[chuk1995]

The title in "this" garden and not "a" garden xD

[OneForTheFuture]

¬Am of afro-carribean descent and I want those kind of dreads so bad. Please anyone that knows anything at all should reply. PLEASE¬

[poolahmon]

masterpiece ! ! ! !

[TheRoadgod]

For those that don't know, that's Lenny's grandfather in this video. Sadly, he passed in October of 2005 the night before he began his tour with Aerosmith.

[Pirate7X]

How cool is that having your grandfather in your rock video? Rest in peace to him and past family members.

Funny that press & folks used paint Lenny as in some ambiguous multi-racial light. He respects both sides of his background but clearly doesn't hide from being Black as this & his vids show.

He just milks it for girls & airplay, ha!...

[chicoeastunitmug]

this song is timeless.

[LucayanBeauti]

Bahamas Baby!!! :) Beautiful song. Beautiful place.

[tattoosxy]

I fell in love this song over 10 years ago. Still one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

[blood7crow]

this makes me think of my future im gonna be nice to my woman and treat her like a treasure THANKS LENNY YOURE THE BEST

[gloomygory]

no la habia esuhdo pero esta muuuy buena :D

[kciebenz]

did you know that he is Christian?

Praise the lord!!

[TheRoadgod]

Lenny is actually both Christian and Jewish. His mom was Christian and his father was Jewish. He wears both religious symbols and believes in the teachings of Jesus Christ.

[kciebenz]

ok thks :-)

[Pirate7X]

He's universal outwardly but actually is a strong christian. Just fact, not taking sides, I don't practice religion just dig his music...

[ddaa12]

I buid this Garden fou Us!!

GREAT SONG!

[troikagirl]

Lenny must have liked the Beatles....I can really hear the Beatle sound!

[abofrei]

thats exactly what i thought

and my dad noticed the same thing

[Dkucharz317]

holy shit me to

[cycladytzia]

Definitely a beautiful song. What else is there to say?

[lucijanas]

-BEAUTIFUL song, it remainds me on my first love..:-))

[jorgeeus]

One of my favourite songs from Lenny Kravitz. I hadn't watched this video for years.

[dreamingon7]

its one of my favourite too !!!! I loved it at the first sight and i still really love it !

Flower power forever !!!

[evangelo66]

the guy represents the good, old rock of the 60's and 70's

Respect Lenny

[RoseGlamour]

Beautiful song,I remember I was 15 and I dreamt I wanted to live in the video! So beautiful!

[brandeno15]

you know he is so talented and nobody knows him at all hes no where. i was hanging out with my friend in my garage working on my gocart and this was about 3 years ago and im 16 now and i was showing him all my old music cds and i had lennys white cd and he was like man this is really good music. and he was like those dumbass girls down the street dont know anything about music, " they where slut girls not hot girl by the way so you cant call us gay or something" but ever since he likes lenny

[culture101]

very spiritual song

[MlleJackson]

I haven't seen Lenny with that kind of clothes, so sexy like that!!! jaja

[chicoeastunitmug]

[aquanaut37]

[desperdux]

[cbruns71471]

[loverskaeters]

[prince95s]

[oORockYaOo]

...where is the building man? we all waiting for...!!!

[lucijanas]

Let love rule, is a wonderful song, but this song, a temple of love, it expresses all about it....

[moondog450]

Is that Morgan Freeman @ 2.41?

[mijinhas]

nope.

just the same guy appearing throughout the video

[izzyidl1]

lol morgan freeman

[tinifo]

yes

[TheMusicSpeakstoMe]

No, it's his grandfather. He states it in several interviews about the support he gave him throughout his career before he passed.

[queen84sasha]

we were so young!!! hahah

[tinifo]

indeed!!

[songbirdkia1]

thank u for showing the beauty of the Bahamas to the world Lenny...Love this song

[akrij999travianer]

crap!!! he is still number 1

[latecia1]

he gets older,his old songs were full of power,juicy,he gave a lot energy and emotions of himself on stage but its all gone...

[makiliiiiiii]

i was on his concert few days ago...it was amazing. man really knows how to connect with the audience and create a great atmosphere. it was the very best concert i've ever been to. perfect is the right word to describe it. lenny is perfect!! <3

[botulinotoxin]

he plays a solo on a chello and hires hairy-armpit girls...

[Saxgurugirl1]

Cello.lol

[kyuss4me]

I've purchased every Kravitz album since I discovered Let Love Rule back in the late 80's

The only 2 that are complete works are the first 2 I'm sorry to say. (Mamma Said) being the second.

[TeehpodT]

Right on, man! The first two are really good, "Let Love Rule" being really outstanding - a flawless record if there ever was one. The two afterwards were alright, "5" still had some moments. But after he chose to make the bland 'American Woman' (one of its worst) a single, and followed up with two rockstar-ish pop-singles off the next album, I lost any interest in further stuff by Lenny. But I an still dig the debut. One of the best in soulful rock - ever.

[retoronto]

Very "Beatle-esque!"

[velmaanne]

his older stuff is beautiful - but i don't know.. i've seen more recent live footage and he's just really angry - like, demanding the audience - thousands of people.. it's rude. he has heart, but it went sour. anger has it's place..

[puro4]

hey, i was recently on a concert of Lenny, and i cannot relate to your comment. He showed a lot of love on stage, it was amazing

[velmaanne]

people have different ideas of what love is. if i find the youtube vid, i'll send it to you. he could have just been having a bad day in that one, or was just really inspired. aggression can be cyclical or situational. if he was loving to my defintion, i'd say it was situational. what ever happened with lisa bonet anyway?

[telturn58]

Best song he's done,but never seems to get mentioned.

[mimss1]

amazing song (:

[lysalush]

My mates best song, passed away 4 yrs ago, only 34, when im in heaven ill kill him for commiting sucide, he killed me, i luv u lee xxxx an ur mates u fool. xx

[goddogcattac696]

this is an incredible recording and he wrote and performed the whole thing at the age of just 21 it reminds me of something off abbey rd or let it be it's fantastic.

[lysalush]

Me an best mates song, but he passed away 4 yrs ago, brings tears to my eyes,but i play it for him. lee xxxxxx

[mcoyibo]

how young he was here! he's always the best! Love you!

[lapahaboy]

[TheRoadgod]

This video features Lenny's grandfather who passed away in 2004. He's the man with the hat and cane. Amazing song! :)
