I'm 20 years old, and if I ain't mistaken I was about 8 or 9 when this came out. It opened up a whole new world of music to me. Wyclef Jean is so amazingly talented both as a solo artist and with the Fugees. His music is absolutely inspiring. It's sickening that most people my age can't appreciate good music like this, instead they reckon all this Kesha hype and such artists is all "unique talent."
Thank you so much for your thoughts, I feel my son's presence always, the song I named him for is Bob Dylan's Forever Young, Ironic isn't it that my Dillon will always be Forever Young, passing at age 20 what else can he be? Much love and peace to all.
Much appreciation to all my FB friends, my son would be touched to know complete strangers could care about us. One love that lasts a lifetime will get you thru so much. Dillon is with me always, as he is with all that had the good luck to meet such a loving spirit. Peace and happiness,especially tombeals69,annevanopmeer, Sgt.stickman and crosely21, you'll never know what your thoughts and reaching out meant to meXXXXXX
@tammyduke1 Much love to all,that is Bob Dylan in the video, my son was named after him, 20 some odd yrs ago he also wrote and performed the song "Forever Young" which was another reason my son was named after him. Ironic isn't it that my son will always be forever young,,,,,,,,,,,R.I.P. my beautiful son, Dillon Michael Brock,,always in my heart and soul......Mama duke12 xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
I lost my father in may of 2002 i was 13 it sux but we move on music allways helped me through the hard times so sorry for all of your loses here but we obviously all use music to cheer up
@tammyduke1 im so sorry te hear this. i was also born on the 16th of november, 1987 well, a different year. it breaks my heart to know your son has died. this song gives me strenght and is one of my faves, i will promise you; everytime i hear this song, i will remember your son. have faith
I'm extremely sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my father June of 2002 when I was 14, and I have found a lot of songs that remind me of the good times, and songs that lift my spirits when I feel down. This is an excellent song.... Wyclef really does know how to write lyrics to hit the hearts of everyone.....
This song has nothing to do with haiti, the song is about a drug runner, he's going down south to pick up drugs from south america and smuggle them back into the US. Still a good song tho, interesting perspective.
@c931gallagher yeah, I really like it, I mean I'm not exactly a supporter of drug running or anything, but this shows their side, just someone trying to make their way in the world. Wyclef Jean is brilliant.
@daludvik1 Is it actually for drug running? I know here in Canada we get hundreds of Jamaicans that come to work the farms for the summer, and November is when the flights are all packed with folks heading home. When my grandmother died in Jamaica early November a several years ago the flight was PACKED with farm workers heading home. I just always thought this was what he meant...
@Biggbizz6964 lol..cause 50 cent is a cunt ... everyone who gets dissed by him should be proud lol... i know i'd think better bout anyone who gets dissed by stupid, uncultured, idiot, arrogant pricks
At first I thought the narrator was being deployed too, but then I paid more attention to the lyrics. It's about working in the transportation of drugs.
every time i listen to this song, i swear to god it just brightwns my day, like my day could be shit then this song just is like my escape from the shitty world around me
There are two versions of this song: the one song for this video and then the one that I have on CD. The hook is the same but some of the lyrics are really, really different. The song on the CD is about going overseas to perform at different festivals where he is going to make lots of money, which he will bring back to his girl in November. The lyrics used for the video are open to interpretation but it's not about drug running!
this song was & always will be a F__king joke
