Gulf War Song - Moxy Früvous

[ScifiGuitarguy]

Beautiful. Brought me to tears.

[pwebber921]

Love this!

[heimburgchr22]

one of the few great canadian artists!

[k7nGj7m]

moxy = greatest form of music then, now & forever

[fortunatious]

Tastefully done with the pictures, bravo!

[SexiestPenguin]

It's interesting this song was written in response to the first Gulf War in 1991, and is just as relevant 20 years later.

[Allforthelaughs]

some very sad pictures.

[fiyacake]

does anyone know who the lead singer was in this song?

[ScreamMEaL0veSong]

@fiyacake Dave Matheson

[fiyacake]

@ScreamMEaL0veSong oh okay thank you, i was really confused!! :)

[fiyacake]

@ScreamMEaL0veSong thank you

[Sally42534]

beautiful song-not a beautiful situation anymore-why dont more people SEE that?

[xXNorDakXx]

Does anyone have sheet music for this musical masterpiece?!

[iTrollPhorPhun]

Well, if you guys would like to help humanity against the inevitable, horrid wars that are caused by our current economic system, then I suggest you to google into the Zeitgeist Movement and the Venus Project.

[Rowlins]

Fruvous pretty much defined my teenage years. They left the scene just as unceremoniously as they came, and the music scene will never again see a band quite like them ever again. Whenever I wax reminiscent about Fruvous and I get the unavoidable puzzled look from whomever I'm talking too, I always feel proud that I heard the music, saw the shows, and that I was there.

[34grenlt]

This has always been such a great song. I remember when I was 24 and the first gulf war began, I was in the Army and my Grandmother just cried at the thoughts of me going to war. Now 20 years have gone by and we haven't seen peace, well done Moxy at airing our Canadian confliction.

[JagerMikesterX]

Nice compilation for a great song that continues to hold true regardless of the name of the war.

[ThyGreenKnight]

"This kind of life..."

If everyone on the planet could share that, too.

Would you fight to protect "this kind of life"?

[dryflyguyok]

I am proud to say I grew up and went to high school with a few of these lads back in thornhill...I miss their sound. Dave and MIke,Patrick says hello.

[daughterjudy]

And history seems to agree ... that I would fight you for me.

Here's to knowing our unity. <3

[WG1114G]

thank-you for uploading this! So many memories tied up in this song, and that US boys choir version just didn't cut it. Oh Moxy....

[pibeagles]

she's just a peace hawk ;)

[Kolibri2005]

OK, from this moment on, I'm going to try to refer every arrogant, stupid prick that I meet to this song, and maybe some of the idiocy from the world will be eliminated. I love this song, go Moxy Fruvous! :-)

[PeaceAEL]

this song is moving, when i played it for my mom she cried :')

[binterik]

I've always loved this song, loved singing it...it's so excellent when poets can create something that can be relevant years later. I've become a Muslim since I had that first audio tape of Moxy Fruvous, so the song has even more effect on me from my perspective

[DRIFTRQ8]

I <3 Kuwait

[BroAdso]

It's a fantasitc song, thans for putting it up, but your choice of images is a little questionable.

[milesmuhldoon1]

if you don't fight, then you get your ass kicked...and there are a lot of people wanting, waiting to see if they can kick your ass!

so you just sit there then and try and sell that Peace & Love and see how many of those wanting, waiting to see if they can kick your ass buy it.

[realScots]

@milesmuhldoon1..I could never kill another human being but I would gladly give you a swift uppercut ya thick mick!

[ScreamMEaL0veSong]

This is one of my many fav songs by Moxy Fruvous! I saw them tons of times. Miss them so much! But this is a great vid. Good Job!

[ScreamMEaL0veSong]

which singer lol.. not so much murray, but they all are singers lol

[FunkmasterRick]

What, the whole band? What a slut.

[ashleyw34m]

Great song - thanks for posting.

[GerryGal1]

Who ;knows what the answer is. This is a powerful message. Maybe if it is played enough,( I say as I look through my rose colored glasses) who knows.

[Dajibbly]

Didn't cry, but it did remove a tear from me.

Beautiful.

Depressing....

Beautifully depressing.

[rollyis38]

I saw MF in Winnipeg back in late 90's..at "teh forks"....

WOW guys..that seems like such a long time ago....

Great band..great tunes

[toothpickboy13]

good song.

[TheAnarchistFromHell]

a wonderful song. my favorite song by moxy fruvous

[Riskenator]

this song always makes me cry. That and the Drinking song. They're both such passionate pieces. I'm proud to be a Canadian and I'm proud that these guys are Canadian. I miss you Moxy! :)

[enoeritas]

so we sit and we watch all the specially selected news

[FlamestrixWindfyre]

what a wonderful job. just about cried watching it. Thank you!

[funkophone]

Holy frig do I ever love this song.

[IMSwimmer19]

Beautiful melodies!!

[ClaraDestine]

It's been a long, long time since I heard this song... but it still affects me the same way... =) Beautiful.

[bb3ca201]

Perhaps someday we'll all get the msg that this song is trying to convey...

[Ellajuud]

history seems to agree that I would fight you for me

that us would fight them for we

is this how it always will be?

[imckdonnelly]

@bb3ca201 What is it trying to convey? I'm curious what you think.

[ApocalypsePlough]

@imckdonnelly - written and sung by Canadians, while most images in the video are of America.

And, the guy who created the video is a Canadian, and he got it right.

That should give you a clue, imckdonnelly.

[Jaded75]

Nice use of recent images to bridge the Gulf and Iraq Wars.

[parsimony742]

Nice, thanks for this.

[ValkyrieRaven]

I've been thinking of Moxy Früvous lately and am really glad to find this link. You did an excellent job on the images for the song. Very well done, 5 stars. Peace.

[ueberRegenbogen]

Musically it reminds me a lot of Seven Bridges Road.

Great job on the video collage!

[ZippysoccerT9]

amazing harmonics, if you like this you should try CSNY (Crosby,Stills,Nash and young)

this has been one of my favourite songs since i was little.

[Neville6000]

Love the song AND the video. Only one thing-I wouldn't have used a picture of the Justice Leauge at 1:42, I would have used a picture of G.I. JOE, 'America's Favorite Hero'-that would get the point across better. The JLA fight for good, not oil, and they don't get involved in bullshit wars like these. Other than that, GREAT video-if I can find Jian Ghomeshi's e-mail URL, I think that I'll send it to him (he's the writer of the song, FYI.)

[angerbot]

I wish this song wasn't still applicable. :(

[Neville6000]

Sadly, it still is.

[wingsonwater]

Beautiful... I love this song, and seeing the images go along with it was especially moving.

[migpoil1234]

i gotta tell u guys something....all the whole world should here this song....good vid man..wish more poeples would see this hehe

[pabloandlucy]

Thanks for putting this together - love the song, love the group and love the updated video!
