This is really great! I had only heard the version done by The Duhks until now. I didn't know that it was a remake! Both versions are awesome. It's just a great song overall.
this one i dedicate to every single individual and organization who designed, engineered, perpetuated, aided and abetted the Great Recession, made exceedingly worse by the very corporations who were failing: the financial industry went from the brink of collapse to record profits in two years. We bailed them out, and they are still able to use federal reserve money at 0% interest, and won't invest in anything that doesn't begin or end overseas. We're unemployed, uninsured, homeless, starving.
@estherbonnie13075 i don't think you mean "we" i think you mean "some others". shh and actually do something to help. buy someone a sandwich. volunteer.
This song reminds me of better times...traveling with my family thru southern B.C. on vacation. Thank-you for posting this song. So beautiful. So few people truely enjoy music nowadays. Its just background noise to them. I miss the artists that made you sit up and listen to what they were saying. Timeless classic. Again, thanx much for posting it!! :)
it's a shame that her songs aren't heard as linking park and others, has a extraordinary voice and power of combining words, making her songs very beatifuls
as i listen to this song and realize that it has even more meaning to me now than when i was in college. i was a poor struggling college student and were times that i didnt eat because the money wasnt there to do so but i was so happy and i wasnt the only one. i had many friends that struggled and with me and somehow we still had much joy and love in our lives. after i graduated fom iu i found a a good job. now im so in debt with my mountains of things im miserable. be careful what u wish for!!
I remember when I was a little kid, I didnt know the lyrics to this song, I would sort of say words here and there that sounded like the lyrics, and even then it was such a great song to me, and I havent nearly listened to this song enough for how great it is over the years, I'm talking few if at all over the past decade...but now I'll listen to it and somehow I know the real lyrics right off the bat, like before they even come, that must just be how real this song is, so real you just know it
shiny shit dont make ya happy ya alwayz want more the key 2 happiness is being content with what u have n gratitude 4 being given life in the 1st place
jesus deze vrouw blijft een koningin voor mij wat heeft zij een stem en wat kan zij je ziel indringen met haar songs en ja hahaahah me trug naar de 80 jaren brengen wat was dat heftig zeg en jaren getrouwd luister ik weer ineens bnaar haar songs en zie allemaal beelde van toen de liefde alles wat heftig maar prachtig wat een mensen supper voor mij is ze een koningin super vrouw kusjes van patricia de vrouw van kamal
Excellent!! These scenes are being played out in a BILLION lives today... And will be tomorrow! This cancerous capitalism cannot be allowed to continue!!!
And a worthless human being you are. I bet you are just as poor as many American citizens. You may have the aditude of a rich person but, but you don't have the heart of the "little people" of America.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
no queerbait, not poor by any standard, even trashy ones, the heart of the little people?! indeed! the ones who use drugs live off welfare, wic, and so forth, who give birth and birth and birth? then know ,love bumps i am not one of the little people. the point i was making, was that people whom vilify people of wealth are jealous, as they would be happy to be wealthy themselves. however lets whine instead. and i know how to spell attitude.
nothing wrong with having things or being rich. i don't begrudge anyone money. just don't do it on my back. and like obama said, we should all pull ourselves up by our bootstraps, but sometimes people need help getting the boots. remember, you can't buy a cadillac, if i can't buy a chevy. if the poor and middle class fall, the rich aren't far behind. in other words, we need each other.
capitalism isn't evil. uncontrolled capitalism is something else. fdr wasn't as dumb as the republicans had said he was for the last 30 years or so. regulations worked, and prevented this mess for happening. basically, you can't let he gorrillas run the zoo.
Interesting....Kind of shows up out of control Materialism for what is really is....A chimera and an affront to Humanity. How much money does a person need? Enough to get by aye, but it reaches OBSCENE levels and good luck with that. "You cannot Love both God and Money"....Jesus Christ.
