Afro Celt Sound System - When I Still Needed You + Intro

[Frogcyy]

I love IT ! (h)



[meghanrose87]

@schemilix it's in kinyarwanda, which is a dialect of rwanda-rundi, the language spoken by tutsi people.

[Schemilix]

I take it this is in Tutsi, or are Tutsi people a delegation of another language?

[mstrmndindia]

This has to be one of the most complete songs . Everything falls into place perfectly in this song.

[krysap]

Oh really? Sorry for my mistake - I really love those African drums!!! :-DD Thanks!

[Procrastina777]

What amazing piece!

[randomyummiest]

I think of my mother when I listen to this song...the title hints the theme of the mother/child relationship in the early life of the child. So beautiful...

[NeoItoh]

@randomyummiest It's much sadder... I know the lyrics, and it's about the Gikondo massacre and how it tore two children apart by claiming one of their lives. 'They took you away from me when we were still young / When I still needed you.'

[krysap]

EXCELLENT! Love those japanese taiko drums.. 

[margalinam]

@krysap

Those are Not Taiko Drums as you called them. Those are African drums. I have seen this band live in a concert, at close range when I lived in Ireland many years ago, and I know this for sure. They are the Best band I have ever heard. Just African, and Celtic instruments. They make Great music.

Quite possibly one of the best compositions the ACSS has ever put out. When I bought Anatomic a few years ago, I was driving when I popped it in for a first listen. I had to pull in somewhere and park, just to sit still in my truck and listen to this track a few times. Truly epic.

[TerraPosse]

Goose-Bumps-Time!!

Just wished they would play more often live.

[MajYoshi]

@TerraPosse Agreed. At around 6:12 when everything bridges together it just ripples through my core and every hair stands on end. I absolutely love their music and production quality.

[DentedRick]

@MajYoshi I can't believe in all my years of listening to varied sounds, and with my passion for music, that I actually completely missed this band. WTF!?

[MajYoshi]

@DentedRick Rick, I'm glad I mentioned it today then! You may also want to take a peek at Deep Forest if you haven't heard them yet. They have one they do with Peter Gabriel from the Strange Days soundtrack called While The Earth Sleeps that is just an amazing song.
