'Suck it in

what a pity weve come this far'

Every now & then, you find a really good timeless piece of music that'll stay with you for the rest of your life. This is a prime example.

[Motlatsikhosi]

This song takes me to that special place. :)

[Pablo34643]

Top Band, Top Song

[concussion12340]

6 people don't like this song-.- ... i wanna meet these people and ask them why...

[MadisonBridgeJ13]

the rest of the world produces complete shit, and no one even notices half of our south african bands.. i live in the uk and all they play is fricking shit like tinie tempah and shiz, it sucks!! this is what music is, not that other crap.. thats just computerised stuff. :@

[rsplayervid]

@MadisonBridgeJ13 south africa is poor, that's their problem :/

[1993gandy]

@rsplayervid No. South Africa is full of diamonds and gold. Some people are poor. I am not, I just recently sold one of my houses for roughly £1.5million GBP

[rsplayervid]

@1993gandy south africa is rich but the people aren't because people from the west steal all the gold etc

[1993gandy]

@rsplayervid Just shows how much you know. People aren't rich because they are undereducated. This is the South African government, it has nothing to do with people from the west stealing anything.

[rsplayervid]

@1993gandy how do you explain then why people don't have food and die daily in Africa and see in eyesight massive plantations of west-europe using up their lands,water...not stealing?

[1993gandy]

@rsplayervid They don't have food because they can't get a job because they are under educated. Africa is a massive continent a lot bigger than Europe, South Africa is just a country, millions of people in South Africa are getting killed each day due to crime. That crime is committed by people trying to feed their families because they can't get a job as they are undereducated. The people dying from diseases are dying because they can't afford treatment because of they don't have a job

[1993gandy]

@1993gandy they don't have a job because they are undereducated, They are undereducated because the South African government doesn't want to spend the money they have on free school because they are corrupt and they would rather have the money for them selves. Do you see a pattern emerging? There might be plantations from people from western Europe but those were set up 50-300 years ago. Those western Europeans live in South Africa and have for a few generations therefore they live there.

[1993gandy]

@1993gandy You can't steal resources from your own country to then give back to your own country. If western-Europe and America was stealing resources from South Afria then there would be a war there right now.

[rsplayervid]

@1993gandy why doesn't anyone stand up and change the south african government , isn't there democratie in Africa the continent?

[1993gandy]

@rsplayervid Because most of the people who vote are uneducated. The current government says things like "If you don't vote for us you won't go to heaven" and give out free shirts. The people then say "Maybe they have changed this time" and they don't. They have also brainwashed a most of the people into thinking that the best kind of leader keeps all the money they get and doesn't help out the poor. I am only talking about South Africa though. Search R3NDI3R in youtube he talks about the

[1993gandy]

@1993gandy real South Africa. Africa is made up of a number of countries and I think South Africa is the only democracy.

[DeadJesus100]

@rsplayervid why doesnt anyone stand up and change the United States NWO government? same problem

[DeadJesus100]

@1993gandy US NWO government is stealing millions of jobs from the American people and sending them over to evil yellow china as child labour.

I hope you are not american otherwise you would be a fool

America is burning, we never expected any hope for Africa

[1993gandy]

@DeadJesus100 I'm not American, I am South African and yeah New Zealand is pretty much the only country I can think of where government isn't evil.

[DeadJesus100]

@1993gandy what you post is true but tell us what government is not evil?

maybe new zeland?

[MyJanine1980]

@MadisonBridgeJ13 have a listen to the Southern Gypsey Queens and The Springbok Nude Girls, more great SA bands

[DeadJesus100]

@MyJanine1980 this a SA band?

[TheHaatspraak21]

They do know @AndWhyBeNormal , they just prefer to rather go with jack parow and die antwoord >.< ignorant fools, they are getting a shitty image of SA, they are only seeing the dirty spare toilet, not the whole house

[BennittIsALoser]

Gut zu sehen die Südafrikaner sind wieder mit mehr Unsinn Lied und verstörende Visuals. Deutschland über alles.

[Mraron33]

@BennittIsALoser fick dich und dein scheiz nazi land

[marcelusgabrial]

[NORTHATLANTICBOY]

Guys, download 'Free Youtube to Mp3 converter' first link on google and copy and paste the link, alternatively use 'zamzar'. Btw, pretty sure this video was also inspired by Peter Callesen's artwork.

[Youmanoid]

Isnt it crazy that so much of the world will remain oblivious to this sheer talent, love south african music sooooo much, springbok nude girls, wonderboom, the interitmo drummers, fock off policie car,...............

[Gabez1303]

[AmandaCardenas1]

Wow he has a really nice voice!!!

[goofydm]

lovely song! with such a good lyrics! fanfuckin'tastic

[JimmyCMYK]

By JimboMUFC8's comment you may have realised that illiteracy is also a problem we're all affected by in this country.

Luckily, like crime, we learn to live with these problems and appreciate SA for everything else that make it completely AWESOME.

Great song. Great video. Amazing band.

Hoping to see them in Durban again soon.

[JimboMUFC8]

By JimmyCMYK's you might come to the conclusion that there are alot of GAY men in RSA. Please dont let this change your mind about moving to SA. JimmyCMYK shut your mouth Sunshine anyone can be a big boy on the net.

[JimmyCMYK]

Yeah dude good one.

Little weak, but better than your first attempt. So kudos for that.

Lighten up man.

Just doin it for the lulz.

[edstark44]

haha nice one bro ;-) "anyone can be a big boy on the net" lol.

[SuperRockAndRollStar]

This songs AWESOME bro!

[veniamin3]

I was thinking about moving to South Africa in the future. I've heard about all the good things but I was also hearing a lot about the crime and the racism. Then I heard this song and I decided "I'm definitely going to South Africa"

[JimboMUFC8]

I have lived here my whole life crime is a problem that we are all effected by it but still its the best country in the world...

[splutonium]

Meh. Crme is not really a problem unless you're poor and living in some township or something. A lot of noise made about it is normally from South Africans who left because they don't want a black government. It helps them sleep at night I suppose to think the wonderful country they left has gone to crap. Opposite is true really.

[iiYaMa72]

Sa is a great place with great people but it has problems I hope something turns around in the future cause it has Everything to offer I spent most of my childhood there I I woudn't want to trade that in for anything, best part of my life as far as i'm conserned will never forget it and maybe I'll go back some day but that depends... I will be going on hols with christmas can't wait :)

[Crimstal]

I (heart) this song!

[louismos]

Just another freaking unbelievable SA band... Wish we could see them live more often!

[SwordChris1]

Dude they played here in Windhoek live it was awesome!

[v2olcom]

[Ravenboi22]

[beesstert]

This is great, lovely song

[felixthegwm]

Waiting for the vid to finish buffering, but MAN OH MAN the song got me the first and only time i heard it on the radio!!!

Makes me smirk at being South African.

You guys ROCK!

[Optimistiq1]

Smirk at being south african? Don't you think you're getting a little carried away? It's ONE song man

[WaketoWonder]

Love this song!! SA Music FTW

[raffo312]

aKing rules

[0YourBestNightmare0]

It's amazin how crappy everyone thinks SA is, but seriously, listen to this and people like Z&G, Dirty Skirts, Desmond and the Tutus, ect, and you'll feel like a true SA patriot. Guys, SA is no that bad, and the music definitely knocks anyone's socks off :) be proud of SA!

[Ihavesharptalons]

wow.... South African bands rule!!! I use to have no faith in S.A music untill I acctually heard bands like aKing and Zebra and Giraffe.. amazing song, amazing video and a way amazing band

[AndWhyBeNormal]

[saarue]

Best music video EVER!!!!~!

[iiYaMa72]

thanks for uploading the official vid I could only get this song through rendier

[matthewhugheswidnes]

Same man. Same.

[105km]

yeah me to :D

[trix9898989]

beautiful song, south afican music has a bright future if tracks and artists such as aking keep it up

[Algreeko85]

Fantastic song... One of the best i have heard.

[oystersdobleed]

I reckon its about the illusion of progress, particularly with reference to the line "what a pity we've come this far".

Our buildings often serve as symbols of our progress, so the cardboard castle might serve to demonstrate the transience of human achievement.

[105km]

love this song!

[RaoulDuke604]

Great song, amazing band. One of the very few albums I've ever bought.

[MaggiKimStokes]

Its about innocence. and how people ruin it, by invading who you are through lies and dishonesty

what i think.

[FreedomOfTHeCheese]

in response to my old comment, im leaving the bands meaning 2, although to each person it could mean something different. "It is more about the decay of the castle, how even though you worked hard at building something others will come in and use if for their own gain, the feeling of safety and well-being should come from inside"

[rkru7]

ok thanx, at school I wasn't the best in poetry, thats why I have a hard time figuring out the meaning of songs thanx

[thesickestpuppy]

hes garding the dudez casle

[rkru7]

ok thanks

[FreedomOfTHeCheese]

what i can tell out of the song, is that its about people living a lie, the fake castle is a reprisentaion of that, the rain ruinin it seems to show that eventually the lies and secrets we hide or hide behind eventually get exposed in one way or the other, the lines "what a pity its come this far" might be saying that we have become so used to the lies that even as its falling apart around us we still try to save our illusion of life..but as you can see in the video, its useless. i may be wrong

[rkru7]

I love this song, but I'm not sure exactly what the meanig of the song is exspecialy the guy that stands there with his back tuned

[Gmankach]

need mp3, its only cool if its illegal..

[therealsnuff]

Cool song. a King and Zebra & Giraffe are the shits.

[liposuck2004]

so deep so real!

[ebunny2009]

Okay, stuck in NZ, can anyone tell me how i can get a hold of their album? I LOVE their songs

[goofydm]

can anyone tell me where I can download their album?

thumbs up chaps

[RenegadeGhosts]

YEA GO SA!!!! WHO HOOO... Jus the polatics that makes u hurl :P

[sprokiejd]

WoW!! Thats awesome - Well done!!

Does anybody know what this song is about? Is it about South Africa falling?

[Briangarethholden1]

I guess it's a matter of personal opinion. I'd say it's about one's self. your own rise and fall and the seemingly meaningless efforts we make in some things.

[willyrobinson]

i like this vid.

[oLoEoVoEoL]

the guy has a awesome voice:)

[justinlanceplunkett]

It's just beautiful. I was stunned to discover they are South African. I'm really hoping that their album lives up to this epic standard. Wish them greatest success.

[MrEricMunro]

I have to say . This is most defininately the most stunning,haunting, heartstopping song I have heard in my life. Congrats

[MutatedHelix]

This is a beautiful song, every time it comes on the radio and I'm stuck in traffic, I can see young and old people mouth the words, just sitting there.. stunning song..

[xbl6969]
