Amazing artist, amazing song. It's even more amazing live! So much power, so much energy when everyone is singing all at once. Had the chance to meet him last night!
damn this song is just too much..k'naan knos how its done..incredible artist just so talented completely underrated..inshallah he will get his "big break"
I have been afraid to put this song on my ipod or even listen to it cause' I cry every time . I realize that this is celebrating her life &&+ it's my new favorite song ! Love you K'naan . (:
This is the first artist who got my vote as a fan. I listen to so much music and I never placed myself as a fan. I totally love your music. Keep doing what you doing. You should do mini movies for your videos. You already impact us so much. God bless you. God bless Somalia. He is looking let's not forget that.
Knaan your music bring such love to my heart. It really shows what love is as we never forget the one's who have left us for whatever reason. I am Hindu and I enjoy your music. I enjoy so much that I do not feel anger from the one's talking crap about your music. I just feel love. Thank you for that. Keep doing what you doing. We love your music and we need it. Do not bother with the haters. Your fans matter.
Gideon Morrison you are heartless. Knaan does not need people like you thrashing his music. Before you talk about others learn about your own first. I won't say what I really want too but if you got any sense you will read between the lines and figure it out yourself. So let's see how smart you really are. Knaan you keep giving us this beautiful music.
I totally love this video. Only people with a heart and soul can feel his music. I only learnt of Knaan's music after the World Cup. Since then I bought the last cd left at Best Buy. This guy is phenomenal. This is a beautiful song. It made me cry. I felt really touched. I apologize for those who don't see things this way and make the racial and dis-tasteful comments. Knaan you have touched the hearts of many and that's all that matters. My 14 year old daughter listens to your music. Thank you.
@germanid religion = believing = no facts. no scientific facts = trash. learn to write english and keep islam out of europe. go back to your 'holy land' or do whatever else. religion = pollution of the mind.
@cezzzarica they said its about a girl and him nd that girl wer both best friends nd then the shooter shot her nd she died... thats wat they told me :)
@xasuuna77 wow that is some trippy shit you just said. my name is fatima and my first loves name is naimah....that's craziness. just needed to put that out there.
i cried first few times i hear this song, he says she died then he's like i don't want you to shed a tear. Not to criticise K'naan but it was a bit late
not sure whether she died back then but he said in the follow up vid that he couldn't send her the song and that her memory was within him, i took that to mean she had died
I wanted to hit the thumbs up, mistakingly hit the thumbs down .... I feel you career839 .. what you wrote touched me as much as this song. Allah bless your sister .. And bless Somalia.
Fatima az-Zahra' was one of the three daughters of the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) . The Prophet commended Fatimas character, once saying to her, "Thou art the highest of the women of the people of Paradise, excepting only the Virgin Mary (Jesus's mother, p.b.u.him & her).
I think that you are an amazing poet and i thank you for telling our story. Im not from somaili but i am form sudan, a nother country in africa facing the same war and pain. our voices and cryes are finally being heard
i heard this song the first time k'naan played it for an audience
