[metairiela2001]

i always remember hearing this song during my basic training in 1974

[wslaura408]

This is the song EVERYONE knows me by back in the day. When I would arrive at anyone's house and blasting it in my car.... HER COMES SUNSHINE.... There wasn't a day that went by that I wouldn't play this song umtine times. Yup those were the good old days of 1980's some great memories of my homeboys and homegirls most of them died RIP and some have just moved on in life. GOD BLESS ALL

This song embodies the two most important things in my life. FISHING AND SWIMMING.  PEACE LOVE JOY . MERRY-CHISTMAS

[pdddddp1]

"never you mind if i...don't tell strangers passing by....if i don't brag....if i don't brag or boast, click my glass and say a toast, about my love for you.....how it runs so deep and true" Still waters.....Still waters run deep.................

[TheSkyeRyder]

One of the most beautiful songs ever written. It reaches out and touches me...heart, mind, body and soul.

If only the world was like this

[chasinmichigan]

amazing

[boomerang905]

I love the beautiful comments on this line on what this song means (except of course the ones that comment about who dislikes the song). I bought this album back in the day and consider it some of the best music of my life. The message, the delivery. I have seen these men perform....they were elegant, beautiful and Levi didn't have that ego to try to put his name out as Levi and the Tops or something. I met his cousin and she says he was a doll. RIP Levi. I miss all of you!

[mcd1727]

Sometimes when i hear this song i think i might see GOD but when i do see GOD i hope i hear this song. PEACE LOVE JOY .

[SHARLEE1962]

[lucripet]

The Four Tops! One heck of an incredible group. My buddy Skip and I used to jab back and forth as to which group was better Four Tops...Temptations...Smokey..L­ittle Anthony....They were/are great.

[dforemski]

love it

[Comrade4Life]

This song is a full 360 degrees...

The beauty of birth, and on to the last mile walked before we return to the essence. Nothing more beautiful and moving than the good memories of our lives... although some of us have pain, Levi and the Tops were and still ARE medicine for our souls. What would we do if we didn't have such melodic songs that help us heal, and uplift us? Soul music helps us live, and then carries us gently into the atmosphere as we eventually go home.

Peace and Love

your Comrade

[MrJustmythoughts]

had this dedicated to our parents at their 25 wedding anniversary, no dry eyes, what loving lyrics

[thehedgehope]

NEVER has so much about,LIFE,and LOVE,been said in the word,s of ONE SONG,these word,s most touch everyone sometime through out their LIFE,Your life all in one SOUND,

MUSIC MEAN,S SO MUCH.

FROM UK

[catz350z]

listening to this song brings me so much peace and happiness.. I love it!!!

[Tommy5297]

a word of wisdom, still waters.



[anomnomnomaleez]

Too short.

[DIJV79]

They couldn't make music like this today if they tried.

[thehedgehope]

some still water,s will alway,s run deep,just as some will hide the wonder,s of the world.

[CovenantOfLove]

I gravitate to those of heart and soul..l feel you more than words can ever touch upon. We live with ourselves and others. Who can't touch, that which they hurt. My heart is deep. I can feel the bottom of the lake, the path of the river, but never the depth of the sea. Let darkness be, as you seek the light. e

[thehedgehope]

YOU must take from MUSIC what YOU want, what other,s may think is not what you must FEEL,just be yourself,let the SOUL of your HEART,speak for its self.

[alejandra078]

i love it

love it

love it love it

[Blackwolff9]

@alejandra078 :Do you love this? I'm not totally clear. ^-^

[alejandra078]

@Blackwolff9 yes i do !!! love it love it

[luvmebabynow]

11peeps don no still waters run deep...

[Drumminsince89]

I really don't understand how you can consciously press the DISLIKE button on the song. I mean it resonates a beautiful message, not to mention the instrumentation, musicality....WTF IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD.

[nealadams70]

Still waters run deep..but toilet water backing up smells FOUL....

[thehedgehope]

 the word,s of this song mean,and say so much,full of feelings that are the SOUL of the HEART.

[408verosjmami]

MY EX USE TO ALWAYS PLAY THIS SONG ALOT! :(

[tha1calldgeorgiep]

good breakdown of the word PEACE

[TheAlb50]

a very classic and classy love song, meant for only one other special one

[scooby1ize]

one of the best!

[KelleyGirl59]

In love with this song....

[bonghitbrianws]

1985 i was born and as long as i live this is our song .

[kjchicago1]

Marv Tarplin plays guitar on this and James Jamerson is the bassist

[thehedgehope]

the soul of this tune is somewhere inside of us all,we all have special places somewhere inside of us all,

take care all

[ehndz15]

♥ this song!

It's not about who you think you are or how others percieve you, it's about you being yourself and being comfortable with who you are!

My dad instilled this in me! This is one of the reasons why I can so relate to this song!

Just heard the long version of this song for the first time. One of my many favorites from the Motown era and of the 4 Tops.

[hoodietooschus]

i swear this song makes me want to cry. i absolutely love it!!!!

[MEDASI7211]

[atr1948vietvet]

This is my favorite song of all time, along with everything else from Hitsville. I lived 25 miles north of Hitsville. I started my second tour in Viet Nam the year this came out. Every day wasn't great, but the music.... took me home.

[kjchicago1]

@atr1948vietvet In 1970, right?

[atr1948vietvet]

@kjchicago1 My first tour was '68-'69 near Dong Ha, second tour was '70-'71 about 10 miles SW of Danang. Both were partial tours due to troop withdrawals. USMC

[9876543217303]

Aw come on! This is two awesome. Haven't listened to it this deeply in soooo long. Beautifully performed, beautifully worded, smooth, haunting and highly romantic too. Thanks for putting up this version. This is what I played all the time. From a fan of the Four Tops For Life. RIP Levi. We all miss you and the group as a whole!

[poeticoldsoul]

Seven people cannot handle "Peace" and "Love" *smh* :-P .

[SFFOOL76]

@poeticoldsoul

Honestly how could you dislike this song, I bet they watch Fox News too much.

[poeticoldsoul]

@SFFOOL76 I love this song with a passion sweetie, and I see that those 7 people cannot handle "Peace" and "Love"...they must be watching something, for they need "Peace" and "Love" in their lives LOL.

[SuperBrotherBob]

It don't get much better than this. Get you a drink, a smoke, kick back and close your eyes. The world is still a beautiful place.

[sumuthaguy]

This song puts you back in place. It wakes you up & takes you from where you've gone & makes you think about what went wrong & what you're going to do to make it right again.

[Change2be]

love this song very emotional.

[JanW666]

thanx for this.......simply awesome!! When music was truly brilliant. Takes me back to my 'Tamla Motown' days - happy memories indeed, so glad to have re-discovered this track - luv it, luv it, LUV IT!!!!  xx

[santiagogarciaarias]

@JanW666 so you ought to hear sill waters, the Jerry Jones version, there are some other versions in studio one from some other great but unknown singers

[chicagoconnoisseur]

Thought about this song today at work and couldn't get it out of my head!

WILL YOU RAKE A TRIP BACK IN TIME WITH ME WHEN MUSIC WAS SO SWEET!!! FOUR TOPS HOLD A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART!!!!

[9876543217303]

Go on Levy. I can hardly listen to this without thinking that he's not with us anymore. No competition intended but this was my favorite group, first because they were such gentlemen, then they were very humble and lastly, they just turned out great music. Thanks for the extended version. It was good to bop to also. :D

[capedcrusader730]

DAD called this BAR-B-QUE MUSIC.along with some MARVIN,TEMPS,SUPREMES,LES McCANN &EDDIE HARRIS,SLY,SAM COOKE & THE GODFATHER OF SOUL. don't forget Ms.FRANKLIN to spice it up. real music for real FAMILY & FRIENDS. THANK YOU DADDY!!!

There are so many that has a cool,collective exterior, when just skin deep lies a whirlpool of raw honest love unexpressed. OMG this is what I think while listening to this smooth emotional song. LOL.

[ktfwolverley]

take my hand .......... all ya need :+))

[oceanbound222]

BORING

[daveavalon]

@oceanbound222 YOUR ENTITLED TO YOUR OPINION

[birdles11]

@oceanbound222 Ignorance is a sad thing!!!

[GS455Stage1]

@oceanbound222 You are one stupid ass. You really do need hearing aids. I know youtube has all kinds of dumb asses who don't have anything else to do but to criticize and belittle.

[free2bpoppie]

Only, and I do mean, ONLY, the Four Tops, could do it like this!

Levis Stubbs had an instrument that was as important to the sound of the sixties and seventies, as anything produced by Mozart, or Bach!

What class these gentlemen displayed for a career that has spanned over 6 decades!

I miss all of the members who have passed on, but I thank God, that we have their recordings!

[mattbayan]

Maybe the reason this song is so sweet is because it was written and produced by Smokey Robinson.

[kjchicago1]

@mattbayan Frank Wilson had a hand in this, too, and so did Jimmy Roach(Song released in April 1970 as Motown 1170 on Motown's Record Label)

[ltbrownhue]

Loooooove the 4 Tops.....

[RXRguy]

Some of us don't need an explaination.

We hear the words and say, Dam, this is my story.

Thank You Four Tops for telling it so beautifuly

[SuperBigglee]

classic good music with meaning never dies and " still waters STILL run deep" :-)

[vinvan1000]

Terry Callier done a great version to this...

[cwartis]

Thank you. without the introduction the song makes no sense.

Just as the did with The Commodores' Just To Be Close to You.

You really don't understand the feeling until you experience Lionel

Ritchie's introduction.

[recovering16]

@cwartis Thanks for the tip. I just listened to the long version of "Just to Be Close to You" - yes, I see what you mean.

[batsy99]

Beautiful

[RXRguy]

Even though we had so many fun times together, you never understood how much I enjoyed those quiet times. For it was in those moments I was telling you how much I loved you. Some us just don't brag or boast, but it was deeper than you ever knew.

Stll miss you Les

[lovejangie1]

Classic!

[Geezyone]

beautiful photography, love the song

[julesmonroe47]

Four Tops... The Greatest Quartet EVER !!!!

[carolyrrh]

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!!!! I am old skool and Love it. wouldn't trade it for todays youth. cause i would have missed everything from the 60's generation.mmmmm

[HaliB75]

I Love Levi Stubbs......One of the best lead vocalists in a male R&B groups of all time!

[SuperBrotherBob]

They don't make music like this anymore. I grew up listening to the Motown sound. Great stuff!

[andy01990]

true old school i could listen to this music all day n wouldnt get bored of it have to send it to facebook. that is music ..

[MegaMusicluv]

some of us are babbling brooks lets hope we run to deep waters ad stillness and peace beautiful done well excellent

[wise1666]

wise 1 DIESIOCHO da malditos last of da mohicans!!!

[TeamTucker101]

I'm loving this version :D

[MrStarrmann005]

This song got me through Viet Nam, along with I don't know why I love you (MJ) and Reflections by the Supremes. Life savers. Damn good memories.

[DJKennyTheJuggler]

This is the Best beautifull songs that I've ever heard and expect to hear.

[jbigbear0707]

All I can say to this GREAT version and video is "AAAAHHHHH ! !"

[ttekcupycnan]

Great Video , The song really takes me back to the time of innocence and those carefree days ! THANKS !!

[kimolds1954]

yes it dont get no better than this

[SFFOOL76]

Man , The Four Tops when they had a great song ,IMO there hit songs sound better than the Temptations. (I love the Temps, don't get me wrong)

[salbella50]

Sorry ..dude your right,..Its the right speed....starts slow in the begining of the song and the tempo steps up.....

[deutschschoen]

Music really doesn't get much better than this, in any language. Danke.

[salbella50]

Wrong speed.....

[Impex7]

@salbella50

Nope, it's not............

[jabnhook2]

To this day, Levi Stubbs stands as one of the top male singers of his day. Motown alone had Marvin, Smokey, David Ruffin, just to name a few. Mr. Stubbs stands amongst them. He may not be the best, but he's always been great.

[jameycruz2]

@jabnhook2 The most dramatic. He was as great as any singer.

[justbroadway]

Love the way you played "Still Water Peace" and then "Still Water Love". The same way I use to play it back in the day. Thank-you for posting it....

[LD2707]

Back in the day, I had this tune on an 8-track. Played it so much the tape broke.

[topsmaniac]

What A Song... What A Group... What A Voice !!!!

[SFFOOL76]

I know Motown has had great songs , however I think they had a great sound in 1970 exhibit A is this song right now, exhibit b is STONED LOVE by the Supremes.

Positive, Love, and well written songs.

[GS455Stage1]

It was the summer of 1970 living in eastern North Carolina (Rocky Mount) when I first heard this totally beautiful song by the Four Tops. I didn't know that this would be one of my all-time favorite songs after so-so-so many years of living.

The song "Still Water" is a beautiful memory of True "Soul Music" and it's deep meaning of life. Just listen to the vocals over and over a few times and you will truly understand the true meaning of "Love & Peace"

Four Tops and Motown Forever!

Sport67

[topsmaniac]

AMEN !

[rAYsimmon]

Pure Genius, I love it. I couls stare at the photos all day long too!

Four Tops please come back and show these 'artists' of today what real musical depth really is, please!!!

[TheBaroness65]

@rAYsimmon You got that EXACTLY right.

[immuntocrap]

Absolutely love it

[Covellos1]

I remember I was visiting a friend on Horton St in Buffalo NY. I had just bought the Still Water lp while it was brand new. The guy who lived upstairs hear me playing Still Water and he came down and asked me who was singing. I told him it was the new Tops song. He thought it was fine. Still Water is still my fave Tops song. I really like this long version and the slide show that goes with it. Thanks.

[terrafirma91]

I like the vocal harmonies the most. This was from an era when singers HAD to sing good. There were no digital voice enhancers to cover any flaws.

[YourMamasHangOut]

That is true. "Video did kill the radio star." IMHO, looks, today, are more important than voice.

[SFFOOL76]

@YourMamasHangOut

It was sadly in the 60's also, look at the Supremes for example. Diana Ross was not the best singer of the group.

[bLIZZ8625]

@terrafirma91 yah i love the way they sung this song. this song feels real gud

[HOOOPDREAM]

Listened to this on my am radio..during the long hot summers in Chicago..had very little as a kid growing up but this music got me through..dreams kept me going...made millions over my life but none of it brought the happiness that listening to this music did...America was defined by this music...people travelled to this country just to experience it...it was copied, sung and worshipped around the world...just like DEMOCRACY..SOUL/R&B is part of our DNA...

[YourMamasHangOut]

It's funny how songs can bring back old memories. Now, you've got me wondering who you are? Are you a former pro basketball player?

[HOOOPDREAM]

There was a book written in connection with a movie(HOOPDREAMS) about some kids from Cabrini Green projects in Chicago that played high school basketball..connected through that

[YourMamasHangOut]

OK, thanks. . . I Googled it. I came up with three possibilities.  You're, possibly, the writer, or Aurthur Agee, or William Gates. My husband's first thought was Isaiah Thomas.

[pedrinelastronauta]

@HOOOPDREAM I can't recall the long poor summers in El Paso that I recall that music got me throught ... Very true about the depths of the waters and the character of a man.... God bless music....

[408ezekiel]

@HOOOPDREAM  that was well said, i give u a thumbs up.

[kwestgirl]

@HOOOPDREAM you know, i listened to this music as a teenager in columbus, ohio. this song sort of defined the type of man i wanted to marry; one just like my dad. i wasn't interested in someone with alot of bling, someone flashy, although there are a great many men and women who have all of that and deserve a closer look. i simply wanted a man who would be a challenge, and let his actions speak for themselves. there's something about that kind of man.

[valeriechiri]

@HOOOPDREAM, Preach your sermon. I totally agree with every thing you said even though I grew up in the Englewood area, South Side. Ditto! Ditto! Ditto! Oh, except for the Millions part--on the real--still on my way. :)))

[TheSocratease]

@HOOOPDREAM Still waters of democracy still running deep...in Tunisia and Egypt lately. :-). Liked your post. Like you, had little other than library books and great music that continues to sustain.

[ThePacificstorm]

Loveland Colorado Rocks. ;-)

Peace  ALL.

[TheTed27]

brill even today
