A 15 year old girl holds hands with her 1 year old son. People call her a "slut", no one knows she was raped at age 14. People call another guy "fat", no one knows he has a serious disease causing him to be overweight. People call an old man "ugly", no one knows he experienced a serious injury to his face while fighting for our country in the war. Re-post this if you are against bullying and stereotyping. I bet 88% of you won't..., yet we should also enjoy the music :D
i heard this song about four years ago, and then just suddenly remembered how i used to play it on repeat but i forgot the name of the artist so i typed up "male folk singer with long dreadlocks" and Duke Special came up
his sound is so mellow and beautiful, saw him at the proms and was completely hipnotized, this guy is a good wee local, and should be way bigger than this..
Just met this guy in my town. He was pretty cool. Didn't know who he was till my boyfriend told me, and that's why I'm here. I wanted to hear what kind of music he plays...and I gotta say, I like it
couldt get the name of this song all along, but earlier it came on in an ebs ad so i jus recoreded it in my music finder on my phone an it gave me the name:)
true. I've been producing music for over 25 years and have worked with many many "famous" musicians over the years... Duke Special is special, a rare talent and has clearly made the world a little bit brighter place by sharing his talent and creativity with us all... :-)
Saw Duke Special supporting Crowded House at the NEC Birmingham, fell in love with the voice, the music and especially this song - still one of my favourties. Shaz x
Nice i loved it when the sax player was shoutin "TAKE ME BACK" and no1 was listening and he was just getting further and further away from the stage :P
Who mentioned "religion?" I don't like the way that word is used. Instead, how about a "personal relationship with God?" To paraphrase, "Do not be ashamed of Me before man..." Know that one?
how come ive lived in belfast my whole life and only found out about this guy less than an hour ago? he's amazing! stop arguing about irish or britishness - he's northern irish, lets leave it at that, ok? for fucks sake... eejits
No he's not since I live in the Republic and not Western England.. Fuck off with your shit. You're just another faggotfucker sat in the north going I'M LIKE SOOOO IRISH, OUR DAY WILL COME and then doing nothing other than like, flipping V's at Orange parades and shit. Cunt.
Close! The 'Time is Short' building is a Church in Ballygowan not Saintfield (the neighbouring village) both are in Co.Down, N.Ireland. (I'm from Saintfield so I have to pass by that Church quite often~).
Im a big fan of Duke Special. He used to play in a coffee shop I worked in Belfast and he was always a big hit with the customers and the staff loved him a really nice guy and I wish him all the best - Debs from gracengroove!!! Go on Petey we all love ya!!!!
