Hopefully 2012 is real. Why do i say that? Well this song is true "We might be are own worst enemy" It's true. How did those towers fall? People brought them down. Hey did wars start? People were talking shit. Who kills animals and abuse them? We kill animals that only want love from us. Who are making the glaciers melt? Every time something is thrown on the floor it hurts are ozone layer. Who makes weapons that can destroy a entire city? HUMANS!! Song is right.
to bad there aren't more people out there like chris reeves.i mean he was paralyzed and in a wheelchair and he did more then most people could even think of doing.
@TimeLord9811 it's my favourite line in the song 'we even lost superman' it's such a unfitting term compared to the towers, y2k scare etc but it was him mentioning the death of such an acting legend which made me think 'this is a good song'...
@tnopq yeah, if you're a conspiracy nut. his matrixes are nothing but ambiguous statements that can be applied to anything. You're seeing patterns where patterns don't exist.
@StPierreviaKO Ur really gonna stand there and say that in the last 10 years (from when the vid was made) Eminem wasn't the best rapper. IDC if you dont like his music, but he has out sold every other rapper, cant change the facts dude.
this is a wonderful video and it shows how we are running the earth into the ground and all of our acheviements we have made anda memorial for the people that died and a memorial to the twin towers most people are stupid cause they dont get the point of this song
@redrhino55 I agree, I think that this song represents the way that we are polluting the earth and ruining it of it's glory and I honestly wish it was like it was in "way back when".
this song kind of takes over from billy joel's "we didn't start the fire"...good history lesson...though i'm not an avid fan, if you think about it, kenny's voice/delivery has always lent itself well to these sort of story/lesson type songs...
@jcc7386 I think he's referring to the author of the Dr. Zuess books (Green Eggs and Ham, Cat in the Hat etc...) His name was Theodor Seuss Geisel. He died in 1991.
We need to learn from the past to better our future. No one knows what tomorrow might bring or what will happen next month. I have a firm belief that we as a nation are not learning from our past, but that is my opinion. We need to look forward not back. And we need to look at ourselves and see what we can do to make things better.
I just heard this song three days ago for the first time, and it is great, Thanks Kenny Rogers for your music. it's real art. I keep listing to it again and again. You don't find real good music these days, Kenny Is one of the best artists, I am a great fan and always listen to his music over and over, I never get bored of it. Thanks again Kenny ...
@dieingiirdr2000 no, no its not. Becuase everything he is talking about HAPPENED. its been engraved into the records that can not be erased. There has just been more since this song was written and recorded. yes a revision would be amazing, but its not "totaly different"
@awinnor we never had Democracy, our form of government has always been a Republic, and you can't call the Bushes junior and senior because they have two completely different names
@voiceotf A republic is a form of government in which the people, or some significant portion of them, retain supreme control over the government---Democracy is a form of government in which all citizens exercise direct and equal participation in the development, proposal and passage of legislation into law...do we really need to go around about how these 2 are more similar than different? you cannot have a republic w/o a democracy!
@hawaiidiver68 then obviously we don't have a democracy because as you stated "Democracy is a form of government in which all citizens exercise direct and equal participation in the development, proposal and passage of legislation into law" and do all the citizens have say over what passes of legislation? no, Congress and the President have say, Congress more so than the other
@voiceotf then we do not have a republic either, as the citizens have never retained supreme control over the govt. it is the same intent, just different wording you are hung up on.
The song explains that bad things happen, people die and the world still turns. We can all learn from our own mistakes as we look on and wonder why the world doesn't learn from it's mistakes. Do yourselves a favour and smile at the next person you bump into, if you read this far then I'm smiling at you as I write this. Thank you, you are great.
Sad but yet true, is all this song is, if people cant get over or actually deal with the truth, well then i guess, people fail to realize that most of what he talks about in this song, IS THE TRUTH, cant bare it, well then idk what to tell ya, because kenny rogers was in the right when he made this song,
i love this song since my mom showed it to me i got to do a cpmv of it and even though i will probly get hate comments and weird look comments that totally fine this is epic!
Kenny's awesome. This song is one of his best that he has done for a while. He sure did hit it to the cure. If people don't like it . Toooooooooo bad.
heres the thing we took god out of are country and it dropped thats why it seems why wen one wars over with another in the us another one starts we are all american brothers in this country and we should live a jesus filled life with all are broathers like a chain wich dose not break thats how close we need to be and no prejedice thats what holds are nation back
1 month ago “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life". John 3:16 i copied this from gameplaya read this and copy it to if you want to i just got to say i want america back we are not america anymore just think about california and all this bull that people protest about i say let there be liberty let there be war whoever mess with my and your nation america the beutiful thank god theres no more 9/11
i know lost of people who think this song is wrong that he should never have done this it i asked them why and they said that it brings all the things we dont want to think about to light. but i think that we should think about they it shows us where we as people and our planet is going. i know it makes me think.
@TimeLord9811 teddy reoosevelt said so himself that we must learn from our past i forget the exact quote but it basiclly means if we want a better future we need to learn from our past mistakes
@OceansideRamona that is so true I'm glade that he made this song i think it could teach us a lot of things. I like the truth a lot better then being lied to.
If your read latin Nostrdaums said septem wich means the 7th. Nostradamus was so accurate the catholic church revised the calender after his perdictions. (He perdicted september 11th in that quadran.)
great song, great clip. And it is sad that with all our advancements in technology we couldn't save the man of steel or even given him a better quality of life. RIP chris aka Superman
Awesome video and song. Powerful lyrics. I would like to dedicate this video and song to the real SuperMan the late great Christopher Reeves. Nobody can play SuperMan like the late great Christopher Reeves. Today you are still missed by a lot of people. Thanks for the song and video Kenny Rogers
