Up Against the Wind

[DimbalaH]

Christopher Young produced this song.. Such a great film composer !

Love Lorri Perri's voice, this song is beautiful !

[armadd1]

this was sad, the police kept shooting her after the gun fell, and she was already dead. this part made me emotional how white people treat us.

[WillWright027]

Such a powerful musical tone, beat, and the voice with the lyrics... wow... very moving

[SHOWGIRLSLIVE]

DAM!

[39kimberlee]

I watched the movie again and couldnt get this song out of my mind , the lyric ring so true to so many things in life lately...

[pronouncedNATAY]

"it seems since I was born, I've waken every blessed morning down on my luck and up against the wind.."

[reka195]

I can't help but to get emotional when this song comes on

[k503inloveb]

Yes break you down but I love this song

[gumiibear12]

everytimee ii listen ta dhis song ii break down in tears.!

Nd when ii see dhis moviee lykee a million timees ii still cry when dhey shot Queen Latifah sigh....

[TheMidcoast1]

This is what music is suppose to do ....spark emotion and this song takes it to a deeper level. Only God gifted artists are capable of doing this. Rarely seen in today's music due to a lack of authenticity in society in general.

[brandonthomas78]

@TheMidcoast1 Very nicely put, I agree with you!

[meccaboo1231]

[cloverfield00]

Beautiful Song,I met all 3 actresses Except KIMBERLY ELISE,This song just reminds me of the Ending when JADA Pinkett was riding on the bus and looking out the window,Then she called Blair Underwood,Another Handsome actor i met and chatted with at the airport at Jfk in 1997,I also saw his movie "KRUSH GROOVE" and i MET "PRINCE" former GIRL "SHEILA E" Yessir! i noticed as "SHEILA E" got older,Her arms got fatter.

[SWebb1029]

Love this song. So powerful and yet so gentle for the part of the movie they play it in. I loved Cleo. Queen Latifah is wonderful as that char. Just wish I could get this song on my songza play list, but it cannot be found. Pity. I'd love to listen to it when Im busy on the comp working.

[smithersr]

[JaneL3131]

this song makes the cleo death scene all the more intense,love that part....

[Rime247]

This song is truth. Representing all those who soldier through life despite its harshness.No matter what your facing, don't ever give up. <3

[PPraise1]

This song makes me cry because it tells what people go through in real life. This is a good song to sing. That will touch some one...

[trish310]

RIP "Cleo"..

[michiross08]

for all those who know the harsh reality of life just tryna make it another day this song is 4 u....

[Rime247]

@michiross08 yes...

[IAMPheonix1]

I love this song... the passion behind it just gets to me

[brooklyngurl09]

i hate this song because it came at the worst part of the movie when they died

[brandonthomas78]

@brooklyngurl09 Well, it's a strong mix for me. The lyrics and music helped drive the scene home even more. And when I listen to the words, I can feel and relate to everything being said. For me it's one of those sad thoughts/moments, yet I can't turn my back on it, I almost need it as if it were a part of me.

[98Gmoney98]

@brooklyngurl09 thats the point the song is sad so it came on a sad part of the movie.

[tinyylovex3]

[Toniburge2]

my favorite song in the movie, and I know Queen Latifah sings this song, but goes by her real name Dawn Lewis. I love her so much.

[michiross08]

@Toniburge2 Queen Latifah's name is Dana,and this song is sung by lori perry

[brandonthomas78]

@Toniburge2 It was Lori Perry

[exzentriusms]

@Toniburge2 Queen Latifah's real name is Dana Owens
