If You All Get To Heaven [LIVE 1988] - Sananda Maitreya

[berlinbrownin]

It would never occur to me to compare him with Michael Jackson. Apples and oranges. Much less to compare their adult vocal ability. That's like measuring a BMW to a Chrysler, where Sananda is not the Chrysler.

[Mandrake211191]

Absolutely gorgeous...

[thewayfarerslyric]

love this song... love this album

[chicagokaraokebar]

much more depth to his voice then m.j. and superfunky he was and still is the goods doesnt need the hype

[uofawildcat48]

I absolutely love Terence Trent D'arby, Love his voice, man is a genius! :)

[skinnyd93]

Best debut album. Rumor was he had a huge ego that halted him from staying on top.

[Sportruiter]

Greater reach than Michael Jackson yes, better voice quality and writer skills no.

[BLAKPEARL69]

he can sang woo.

[egor4681]

TTD-singing say about Michael, Prince stands say about Michael, Michael, see Michael talking about .... Here is the answer, Michael genius .... all the rest just great and talented.

[syl0116]

an old fave song!

[3xWink]

his debut album is one of the best albums ever

[Bethfromwigan]

i wish i could see him live. i'm from the uk, and my parents saw him in concert in about 1987 or 1988, and they said he was brilliant !. I couldnt go to that concert as i was too young unfortunately. I'm 27 now.

[shakeabadadown]

@Bethfromwigan he's based in italy now so maybe you can catch him

[asarapi]

not only does TTD have the better even gutsier soulful voice, but he has better hair ;-)

[jynupe]

One of the best albums EVER!

[kirby123362]

OUTSTANDING!!!! WOW

[jazminesmom1]

Terence was the real deal . Definitely an industry HIT. Someone was afraid he might just give ol' M.J. a run for his MONEY!!!!!

[jazminesmom1]

Was there a conspiracy to shut this guy down or what?

[Anonandon]

@jazminesmom1 I don't know if it was a conspiracy as much as the man following his muse to the utmost. He made (and still makes) the highest quality of music - it just doesn't get much play if any on the radio... :)

[TsugaruClan]

@jazminesmom1 I wouldn't be surprised if someone tried to keep him from reaching certain heights. It does happen in the recording industry, which isn't exactly the most clean one around. When there are artists who are huge names (i.e., big moneymakers for the powers that be), the true players behind the scenes don't want others taking away their steam. Then there's all those payola scandals during the 80s. Nowadays, almost all labels are owned by 3 huge mega-corporations, cutting competition.

[LUVuSananda]

Perfect !

[XassyBill16]

wish MJ and him had made something, could have been the most amazing song in the world!

[RTDavis0503]

Yo! Stop comparing him to Michael Jackson and then arguing over the shit! They are like Apples and Oranges, not even the same vocal style. Both excellent artist and VERY different... Why ya'll compare him to MJ because he skinny as hell and light? That is the only similarity..two great artist in different categorys...stop making all of these stupid ass VS comments..Just enjoy the vid or get off..

[zzekia]

Jesus....

[robirob12000]

I played this record and this album until the tape broke :)

[zzekia]

@robirob12000 I still got the LP...man, that album is unique!

[downeybill]

actually prefer his voice to Michael Jackson, way more grit and soul. just a matter of taste really

[MerlynOkami]

@downeybill i'm agree with you

[alaraa75]

he really is an amazing singer and an incredable strong voice..This album made a big succes around 80's I was listening so much than cause I was a big fan of him..Its so rare of these kind of singers now. Fantastic voice!

[rutgerros]

best singer in the world, maybe corey glover can compete with him

[131babyluv]

I can't think of a voice that I've been more moved by than TTD. His voice and delivery are both spiritual and sexual.

[pcfox2008]

Old men's cigars puff up the wars To protect their fuck-ups again Young men must die! To keep the old ones alive And to prove they're studs once again It you all get to Heaven Say a prayer for the people Who will kill for cross and steeple Say a prayer for righteous bullets But most of all please say a prayer for me If you all get to Heaven Say a prayer for my mother Say a prayer for my father Say a prayer for my brother But most of all you gotta say a prayer for me

[pcfox2008]

A thousand words or more Seep through the floor And then take root in the soil Growing trees of doubt Helpless people shout Until their blood starts to boil If you all get to Heaven Say a prayer for Asmodeus Say a prayer for Belial Say a prayer for his denial But most of all you gotta say a prayer for me If you all get to Heaven Say a prayer for St. Religion Say a prayer for blood baptism Say a prayer for it's division But most of all please say a prayer for me

[pcfox2008]

If you all get to Heaven Say a prayer -volace menteh- Say a prayer for food and plenty Say a prayer -sehr sensible- But most of all please say a prayer for me If you all get to Heaven Say a prayer for my camel As I ride through the desert Say a prayer for the rumours The rumours of war The last moody summer Was autumn in covers Bespeaks of dogs in the dark A perfect reunion Of bloody communion Where do we find Noah's ark?

[pcfox2008]

If you all get to Heaven Say a prayer for my mother Say a prayer for my father Say a prayer for my brother But most of all please say a prayer for me Words of a feather All flock together Going round and round A soul is astral travelling Watching human motion Wasting thy seed upon the ground Discreet intermissions Coroners petitions Their work goes into the sand Voices from the middle Are gaining very little It's getting all out of hand

[tanjabond0007]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­ee

[tsp2235]

One of the most gifted singers of all times! Definitely under appreciated!

[americanmustard]

DEEP Lyrics! This like many of his songs he writes are very deep if you take the time to contemplate and review his words.

[13066938]

Wow - what an amazing Voice.

Great Song - still one of my Favorites - love it!!

[michaelgrieve]

Maybe a new name, but still a great artist.

[alli13941]

Wow. Why didn't he do better, his music was hot he was really talented!! I guess it takes a lot to stay current and it isn't all about talent. People have to love you the person and some talented people don't grab the hearts of their fans just the logical mind that will admire the talent.

[cdm0014]

watching this again

amazingggggg!

[bluefinz27]

this guy is a genius...

[SilkySmoove44]

Just beautiful...

[marmackk]

WONDERFUL VOICE

[sax14sure]

one of the greatist hits i have ever

enjoy

[cdm0014]

amazing voice

[Dawnymoon]

Michael and TTD were highly popular at the same time so that is why people tend to compare the 2...although their music and lyrics are different...

[loggan62]

vocallly, this guy could challenge Michael Jackson

[giugnhgbvinierngvb89]

@loggan62 ur funny. TTD is way above MJ. Jackson LIP SYNCHED most of his performances and needed so much production. TTD is the real thing.

[mztweety1374]

@giugnhgbvinierngvb89 thats b/c of all the dancing. theres no way in hell anyone can dance and sing like that @ the same time!

[giugnhgbvinierngvb89]

@mztweety1374 james brown did dance and sing and played instruments plus direct his band all at the same time. prince did too. MJ is so overrated. he was great but marketing and exposure made him much bigger of what he was.

[alli13941]

@giugnhgbvinierngvb89 MJ was not overated. MJ had multigenerational appeal ie my mother loves him as much as my 3 year old niece> Terrence Trent is amazing but he does not have that wide appeal. The comparison isn't even fair to Terrence Trent.

[alli13941]

@giugnhgbvinierngvb89 if you watched 'this is it' you would realize that he did not lip sync much and his high energy performances might actually call for lipsyncing. Why compare MJ to TTD? That makes no sense.

[mztweety1374]

@loggan62 well he could have...

[DannyHaleMusic]

@loggan62 Vocally this guy could destroy michael jackson, listen to his version of wonderful world where he's sat down beside his guitarist, you'll understand what I'm saying. So much texture and range, it's unbelievable

[therealraybaby]

@loggan62 Aaaww, I DON'T think so son! LEAVE dat crack & meth alone bro!!

[loggan62]

@therealraybaby ..hey tuffguy, I ain't ur 'bro' or ur 'son'. I don't do drugs.TTD is definitely worth mentioning in the same sentence as MJ (vocally). Don't get it twisted, I am a big fan of both. MJ was an icon. MJ was versatile, he made hits in various styles. MJ had grit too. TTD may not be as popular as MJ, but TTD can sing, plain and simple. I ain't no good at dissing folks online. But if u wish, u may proceed to send me more inappropriate comments from the safety of ur keyboard.

[therealraybaby]

@loggan62 PALEESE! Dude if ur gonna make a strong statement like that, then at least know what the FUCK ur talking about. I mean I dig Trent D'arby too, but 2 even say some Stupid shit comparing him in the vocal catagory with MJ is either insane or immature. Now if u had of said someone like Bobby Brown, Keith Sweat, Fine Young Cannibals, Billy Ocean or even Milli Vanilli I might have agreed with you. I guess next u'll say he can dance & play guitar better than Prince? LOL- Learn music dude!

[cdm0014]

@therealraybaby well even if its insane or immature, based on vocals only, terence destroys.

[Midnightrambler3760]

@therealraybaby You are correct MJ was an icon and has had a huge influence on music. Prince is also a great musician but lets be honest here, vocally neither of them could touch TTD.

[mana2432]

@Midnightrambler3760 I would say MJ was the better entertainer/dancer; TTD had the better voice; and Prince was the better instrumentalist/artist

[Midnightrambler3760]

@mana2432 Agree 100%

[cavstony]

@loggan62 he is clearly better than Michael. He has a lot more range and power

[rahdub]

all hail young terrence!

[musicisalove]

he's a poet with a amazin voice. his lyrics, especially his recent material is so powerful and meaningful. ttd aka sananda ur a rare talent peace out

[snidelywhiplash]

Epic. Superlative.

That is all.

[Deathinmusic]

He's an amazing singer. This is probably my favorite TTD song.

[PeekaPeep]

"Old men's cigars, puff up the wars, to protect their fuck-ups again..." my favorite line from this song!

>;-)

[AngisMelody]

Thanks a looooooot !

I Love TTDA and I still have got the album.

my favourite song is "As yet untitled" original track aka "this land is still my home".

The original track got so deep lyrics, I'm almost shivering while listening !

[ssims666]

thank u very much i love terence he's the best ;)

[cavstony]

Wow, this is great music.  Hard to believe that this used to exist.

[2oldN2ys]

What a man!

[MacPete187]

music like this has been eradicated from mainstream media, the conglomerate wants its youth soulless.. lost.

[JIGSAW71]

i'm with you brother!

[myraann]

lost little sheeple!! and if you go against the grain they cut u off at the knees!!

[doubledollar]
