[MsL0vie]

26 ppl never tried to get anything they really wanted.

[1998iulian]

HITCH



[dthompson1313]

I had a great Ah ha moment listening to this song this morning. The message is very simple but powerful!!!!

[soulboudah]

You can get it if you really want

But you must try, try and try

Try and try, you'll succeed at last

[Deepred67]

Hello Jimmy,from London.We're all glad you're doing well.

[rogerfederer38]

Hitch!!! =)

[LukaPoljak]

1:16 is he looking to you a bit like chuck berry

[cabropesado]

26 people can't have sex because they can't go upstairs :D

[ajonetto]

JIMMY, thank you for being a GOOD FRIEND, even if we haven't met in person, you have help me through tough times and cheered me up...

[kandersonthai]

@ajonetto me to

[nastynappa]

this song is a good one thank you

[TheYinful]

The lyrics are so simple that you can't help but feel cynical. Tch. The bane of human mind, we complicate the things solved...

[SmellaPazza]

It's the song in the film "WE WANT SEX" !! <3 :D

[derekm33rs]

Mon The Hoops !!!

[GlamaritziiNY]

When u give up it's like saying your bogus. Don't worry about other people that are where you want to be, find out how to get you there and be happy for them cause that will one day be you - if thats what you truly desire. It's all mental and your own perception of your life now and in the future!! Forget yesterday it's history...new moves today... don't be afraid to fail and be human first- most importantly constantly learning how to be better....just stay focused...

[GlamaritziiNY]

All I can say is keep on tryin and tryin ...don't give up on U... I've witness poor ppl make it, lose it and make it again, because they used that little secret. Holding steady and faith in their vision! The most wealthiest believed in themselves when no one else did...DaVinci,Einstein and Edison all thought to be madd men. Steve Jobs an asshole but look what they accomplished.

[lagrove]

the mans 63,we can sit here and split hairs all day,fact is next to marely,he's the fcking man!!been there done it,and wrote a song about it..........didn't have to buy a t-shirt,he own them.....

[Lderby512]

I love this song, I play it when I start a new project.

Nice song Jimmy Cliff I will try and try, I see them in Jamaica all the while. He is great to me because of his movies and songs...Reggae has a great history. I Love that..Sweet.

@FaTeRipperZ no it's the exact opposite.

[kenshirothefist3000]

little good

[enlighten09]

Is Time To Get The TRUTH , I Think So ! We Deserve It , Born Free All x

[pasciente]

try try !!!!!!!!!!

[saciji]

love Jimmy Cliff. I'm 60 - classical musician. Doesn't stop me from being bowled over by Jimmy Cliff or Maria Callas singing Turandot! No point in comparing! My God son has his own band, and I encourage him also to have an open palate. The more he knows about all types of music the better. It will only make him a better musician in the genre he choses to be in or develop. Multi-coloured/cultured planet is a wonderous thing!

[AlanAnthonyDoyle]

[maladsyko]

@FaTeRipperZ : no, you're just a reincarnation of an 80's happy guy ;)

[7466309change]

what,s age got to do with liking things ?

[7466309change]

@FaTeRipperZ why you think this?

[m0lene]

18 people didn't get it.

[brincher]

18 people are in the darkest corner of a reggae night.

[MegaPeterod]

Listening to this always makes me feel good. Does anyone else find this song so uplifting?

[Tramanda27]

@FaTeRipperZ No dear it jus means that you recognise GREAT music... i grow up on this music im 27 now and it has even more mean so you jus know good vibes :-)

[JOEJ92]

@FaTeRipperZ no its an amazing song

[Sheka61]

I am dedicating this song to my mommy and all the people who are preys to cancer. Don't give up now keep on fighting!!!!

[ireland2010ish]

pity the music out now wasnt more happy raggae tunes like dis

[hempnoodle]

Great song! Great musician! Will see him for the first time next week at Electric Picnic, cant wait!

[kurt2rsenjazz]

This should be the theme song for pre-financial crisis years

[elorellut]

Tonight on Rototom sunsplash festival in Benicassim, Spain!!!!

[kyle7676]

ha, plays 24/7 at my job.

[nachitoxuruguay]

don`t give up!!! blesss

[elakify]

inspirational

[FlamesBond007]

God forgive me but why did you make the world with so many sad and stupid people? How can anyone hate this song?! The message of the song is positive, encouraging mankind to strive for the best. Yet here we have 18 sad angry people disliking it. Their lives must be really messed up! hahahaha!!! and I'm sure there are more to come. I'm really sorry for these people.

[Terremides]

@FlamesBond007 Sure my life is really messed up, I cant get what I really want, I've been trying so hard but honestly the whole world seems to be against me and my goals. now I have no energy left and this song is basically a slap in the face. I've given absolutely everything I can to reach my goal, so dont come and tell me that I have to try harder. Now I see clearly that "you just have to try" is only for the rich and wealthy. IF you're born poor, and unlucky you will die poor...

[sabaha028]

@Terremides Don't give up!!! listen, really, don't give up! everyth is possible!!!Believe!

[BowskiBig]

@Terremides This song isn't a slap in the face. How GlamaritziiNY was responding to you, he is right about that one secret in life. You have to "really want" something. Which you probably do because you already got to a point where you were frustrated and ready to quit.

"Try, Try, and try!" with every bit of strength both physically and mentaly to get to your goal. And "you'll succeed at last". Quiting for the reasons you are listing would be a bad mistake, speaking from my own experience.

[3tangle3]

@FlamesBond007 maybe there is no "God" in the idea you preceive of it...

[Danielnwa]

@FlamesBond007 It's not unlikely that about 1% of people accidentally click the dislike button, it's smacked right next to the like button... Maybe God should just have made people a little more understanding=)

[alexpounder]

@FlamesBond007 It were probably from blind people trying to like it.

[calicruzify]

@FlamesBond007 its always the fucking minority that ruin it for the rest of us!!

[EvulikSC]

@FlamesBond007

being sorry for someone is not a very positive vibration either. If someone's life is messed up, it's usually his fault and also he's the only person who can fix it. Disliking this song is not the right way of fixing the bad things in life :-) Think positive! Live your life and be happy!

btw, love this song

[slayerfan666666]

@FlamesBond007Damn just because you like something doesn't mean everyone has to. If they don't it doesn't mean they have a sad life, just means they don't like the song. ( p.s I actually like the song and am a fan of Jimmy)

[GW8941]

18 people will never get it.....

[mariusgarulus]

Love this song. Have it on LP

[mjtonnard]

Listening to this whilst revising for my law finals, hugely inspirational!

[Fabzil]

I hope to be my son's hero when I'll be a dad. Well I can if I really want :)

[JWrimene]

never give up hope, when you are dead u have no hope , when u are alive you have hope, you can give up, keep trying, you can get it if you really want it.............

[sonnylegirl]

thats just beautiful...all dads should be heros if u have one xxxxpeace man..

[cameron3ify]

18 people aint gonna get it

[vard54]

Any one else noticed this is the same tune as hungry heart by bruce springsteen? both great songs.

[tazabooboo]

love it all annie keady wouyld like to dedicate to all of the beautifull people that i have had the pleasure to know love you peeps very much x

[tazabooboo]

[T3RRABYT3]

Great Success!

[jerry420884]

DANCE ! :D

[bengit100]

yeah one hell of a song, and it took me through my teens, Jimmy you are the best

[Guendalina95]

:D

[3296856]

The chorus is about herpes, free HBO and girls at the same time. One hell of a song

[lhdollbaby]

HEY I dig this reali dig it I think this will be my theme song too

[cruzdablok]

17 ppl need to try, try, try and try.., u'll succeed at last!

[fgrilli]

But can you really want what you want? This is the well-known problem of free will. Hope that Jimmy Cliff will do a new song about the possibility of liberum arbitrium indifferentiae and how it can overcome the constraints imposed by the principle of sufficient reason (Zureichender Grund).

[Choosinganame]

@fgrilli Lol.

[MrKanyasilas]

I love Jimmy Cliff since 1980. i need he call me.

[newgaihtnyc]

Only true reggae fans know who Jimmy Cliff, Petter Tosh and Toot and the Maytals are! ..... "U succeed at last"

[Maxbtwshow]

@newgaihtnyc I know who they are! I'm not a "true reggae fan" or anything but I like their music, so what are you talking about??

[waco1962]

Great song from a great artist and an even better movie!

[yesicanseeclearlynow]

You actually understood the English in that movie?

[PolarSkua]

@yesicanseeclearlynow Technically you cannot call it English—it is called Patwa (patois). Subtitles advisable for non-Jamaicans (at least for one of your viewings of this great film)!!
