@nellajanrox This song is in no way close to the hook of hey mama. Just because kanye's song says la la la and so does this one, doesn't mean it is from this song. The sample Kanye uses is from Donal Leace in a song called "Today Won't Come Again". Nice try though.
OMG THis is where kanye STOLE The hook for his song Hey Mamma! It's a cool song but the original is so deep and heartfelt. I am now on a mission to see what else these to geniuses gave to the world through music. I feel a bit rich right now because I have access to such great music:)
Sorry to hear about Brother,some many people lost their lives to addiction,i hope they fine a way out befiore it's to late for them. I don't hold anything agianst them for anything. i like this song,it brings back some the times in my when i was in same postion as your Brother.
I dont understand how songs like this have so little views but shit songs involving the bieber baby have hundreds of milions of views. Just shows ya mainstreams gone to absolute shit. Thanks for posting real music man.
Some time ago, an imagined melody or perhaps a distant memory returned to me in a moment filled with lucid clarity...when I hear a time like this all the scars of what I miss carry me home going home lie la lie I lie to me I am never going home lie la lie down my head for the last time
I first heard this in an girl friends house it was playing as I walked in the room & I stood stock still I couldn't move stunning song. It still affects me today.some 40 odd years later
A chilling song about the individual human struggles and fights within. A perfect metaphor as well have fight in life. Boxing is the perfect metaphor--sometimes you get knocked down--get hit with low blows-get a bad decision against you--get your brain scrambled and your soul hammered--and yes you even win sometimes. But regardless of what happens life still happens and goes on.
this song is the most devastating and heartbreakingly beautiful thing. I remember hearing it when my dad played it for me as a little boy. Still makes me choke up.
@codern as much as i hate to admit it.... lady gaga actually wrote most of her songs and to be fair she does do acoustic versions which are actually quite good to my suprise never the less still preffer music like this :)
When I was attending high school in Kirkland Lake, my old English landlady used to ask me to turn the music down....but at night when I was sort of lonely, I'd put this record on in my room....then she'd yell upstairs..."Patrick...can you turn it up please?"....LOL. As it turned out she loved Simon and Garfunkel.
Simon y Garfunkel... Uno de mis duetos favoritos... cada que los escucho me transportan a mis lugares protegidos donde naie me toca, donde disfruto de mi soledad y el mundo rueda... y cuando termina ese viaje regreso a la realidad a enfrentarla con todo lo mejor que tengo...

This song kicked my ass 30-something years ago. I downloaded the karaoke version. I demand a rematch! :) It's a good song, I just didn't know what I was in for when I did it.
Whenever I hear this my heart beats faster! such is the feeling of great old memories. I'm Spanish native speaker living in a spanish speaking country but the meaning of this song overpasses language barriers!
Hey, I really appreciate the effort of scrolling all the lyrics. However, have you ever considered inter-cutting photos of actual struggling boxers?--Maybe some truly anguished black and white gym shots of fighters giving everything they've got to the heavy bag or working against the focus mitts with a trainer? You might also consider inter-cutting some gritty urban shots of folks on the edge. Could really frame your video so much more artfully. Just a suggestion.
This is such a sad song. Never knew that in the boxing world, there were young men who thought that they could succed then find that they have no opportunity.
Then again, there are so many similar stories like this in different aspects of life.
@bfflJKwryw Starting off any sentence with "I'm 13" is an immediate give away that the rest of what you write is likely to be factually inaccurate. What sense does "Wars on 7th avenue" make?
@SunnySandyEggo Ok I dont even care anymore! Leave me alone! Sorry for thinking somthing!! I am still goingto sing it wars! You cant stop that! WHat the fuck ever! Bye!
"In the clearing stands a boxer & a fighter by his trade & he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down or cut him till he cried out in his anger & his shame, "I am leaving, I am leaving!", but the fighter still remains..."
How many guys as I have seen "Rocky" and imagined becoming a great fighter? Today, listening to this song can understand the words. I did the best I could, I am not become a champion, but as the song says "I'm leaving But the fighter still remains", old, painful but remains, at least in my heart.
I love this song but the end, starting at 3:30, gets a little excessive especially taking into account how it started, but that could be why I'm not a musician.
ya know everybody gets on here to talk down to anybody who doesnt like certain types of music....well i think we should just all be happy we have music o listen to and leave other people alone....PEACE!!!
@McCall72 I agree, and those memories are mostly those that you don't even consider remembering about. And those that you really wanna remember sometimes just fades away.
Mid 1970's riding with my Grandpa in his silver 1971 Monte Carlo in Charlotte, NC and hearing this song on the radio. Funny how some moments in life stick with you for years for no particular reason why.
reminds me of my mate..deny cronin, true gent, took some shit in his life , but still comes out fighting, proud of you den... old school mate....andy bristo
each to his own. all people here who bash this modern age's music is a retard because not all people choose yesterday's music over the modern. like me, for example, this artist is my second favorite after eminem
now do we find song writers like this today? who can possibly say we do? is it not apparent that these times reflect a youth which has no artistic taste or vision, an entertainment industry which caters to the youth and has taken over the music industry with reality tv and rubbish that we as a society embrace and as a result complain that there r no more artists anymore, we're all part of that problem...i thank music like this for reminding me of where we've come and where we're going.
@codern : Here in the Netherlands we have an artist called "Spinvis" who makes, allthough sometimes extremely alternative, original music.
Look up "Spinvis - Bagagedrager" on YouTube, some American internet-friends said that they got the message even though they could not understand the words (the videoclip helps too offcourse.)
It's a sort of love song that describes being on the luggage carrier of a bike in the middle of winter.
I cully concur that today's multi media is wretched, in particular popular music found on the radio. I will however argue that it is the fault of the music producers in their attempt to brainwash our youth that they come out with such garbage. My only reason in argueing this is that though I am nearly 20, I feel I am a part of youth culture and those lame songs we've spoken of are not what we stand for.
@nubsgetpwned im a decade older than you, I can safely assert that while there are always exceptions, the people who are exceptions with their good taste , are only truly exceptions if they actively make a difference. Parents are one thee boggest problem in todays culture. The professional child worshiping parents are the main problem. They are completely passive & oblivious to the truth about what is going on with the entertainment industries manipulation. And so, the problem perpetuates.
@codern. I understand how you feel and what you are saying. But there are people out there right now making songs just as meaningful and beautiful . . . you just don't hear them on the radio these days. People are the same today, forty years ago, four hundred years ago, and four thousand years ago; we haven't changed; society hasn't changed.
@DasGestalt are you kidding me? Have you ever heard of social evolution.? Im sorry, im sure you're well intended, but i can't 1 iota on anything you just said.
@codern. I'm not well intended I just see things as they are. Shakespeare is still valid because people haven't changed in 400 years. If we had changed in 400 years Shakespeare's plays would be useless and forgotten by now. But they aren't. They are just a meaningful today as they were when they were written. Why? Because people haven't changed. Your words aren't new. Every generation says the same thing about the rising generation that you say. Socrate said the same thing 2500 years ago.
@DasGestalt im sorry, but i dont believe you do see things the way they are. Society is constantly changing. Your shakespeare comment has no merit. It is like me saying, "since i still like S&G after all these years, i must not have changed." Thats completely false. And im not equating this comment post with Socrate. Bottom line, society has changed, which is partially why music has changed, and it's simply not as good, regardless of the few who still create music with meaning. It is that simple
@codern I disagree, whilst the music might not be to your taste, there are great songwriters out there with something to say. I am blown away by the Arctic Monkeys A Certain Romance and how the lyrics appear to predict what happened in London last week. You should also listen to System of a Down, Toxicity (unfortunately released on 9th Sept 2001 but an amazing social comment).
@loquayrocks Hello. 1) It's not a question of the music being to my taste, it's an issue of the music not having taste. 2) sure, there are always great artists & songwriters out there, but for the most part, they are independent artists in the underground scene. Commercially speaking (as I was) there is no good music anymore because today, music isnt actually music anymore, rather..it is a cheap form of entertainment catered solely to the youth. 1 or 2 references of exceptions doesnt & shoulnt
@loquayrocks be a deciding factor that changes the mainstream based on someones musical preferences. That said, i'll check out the artists you've mentioned. Cheers.
dosen't look like anyone is argueing in this comment section. mmm...could it be the song or just chance? is the song that good i mean, nevermind. i need caffine:)
Thank you Max Siegler for the song and the lyrics. The Boxer, to me, remains the best song of S&G.

@codern : Here in the Netherlands we have an artist called "Spinvis" who makes, allthough sometimes extremely alternative, original music.
Look up "Spinvis - Bagagedrager" on YouTube, some American internet-friends said that they got the message even though they could not understand the words (the videoclip helps too offcourse.)
It's a sort of love song that describes being on the luggage carrier of a bike in the middle of winter.

I cully concur that today's multi media is wretched, in particular popular music found on the radio. I will however argue that it is the fault of the music producers in their attempt to brainwash our youth that they come out with such garbage. My only reason in argueing this is that though I am nearly 20, I feel I am a part of youth culture and those lame songs we've spoken of are not what we stand for.

@nubsgetpwned im a decade older than you, I can safely assert that while there are always exceptions, the people who are exceptions with their good taste , are only truly exceptions if they actively make a difference. Parents are one thee boggest problem in todays culture. The professional child worshiping parents are the main problem. They are completely passive & oblivious to the truth about what is going on with the entertainment industries manipulation. And so, the problem perpetuates.

@codern. I understand how you feel and what you are saying. But there are people out there right now making songs just as meaningful and beautiful . . . you just don't hear them on the radio these days. People are the same today, forty years ago, four hundred years ago, and four thousand years ago; we haven't changed; society hasn't changed.

@DasGestalt are you kidding me? Have you ever heard of social evolution.? Im sorry, im sure you're well intended, but i can't 1 iota on anything you just said.

@codern. I'm not well intended I just see things as they are. Shakespeare is still valid because people haven't changed in 400 years. If we had changed in 400 years Shakespeare's plays would be useless and forgotten by now. But they aren't. They are just a meaningful today as they were when they were written. Why? Because people haven't changed. Your words aren't new. Every generation says the same thing about the rising generation that you say. Socrate said the same thing 2500 years ago.

@DasGestalt im sorry, but i dont believe you do see things the way they are. Society is constantly changing. Your shakespeare comment has no merit. It is like me saying, "since i still like S&G after all these years, i must not have changed." Thats completely false. And im not equating this comment post with Socrate. Bottom line, society has changed, which is partially why music has changed, and it's simply not as good, regardless of the few who still create music with meaning. It is that simple

@codern I disagree, whilst the music might not be to your taste, there are great songwriters out there with something to say. I am blown away by the Arctic Monkeys A Certain Romance and how the lyrics appear to predict what happened in London last week. You should also listen to System of a Down, Toxicity (unfortunately released on 9th Sept 2001 but an amazing social comment).

@loquayrocks Hello. 1) It's not a question of the music being to my taste, it's an issue of the music not having taste. 2) sure, there are always great artists & songwriters out there, but for the most part, they are independent artists in the underground scene. Commercially speaking (as I was) there is no good music anymore because today, music isnt actually music anymore, rather..it is a cheap form of entertainment catered solely to the youth. 1 or 2 references of exceptions doesnt & shoulnt

@loquayrocks be a deciding factor that changes the mainstream based on someones musical preferences. That said, i'll check out the artists you've mentioned. Cheers.
