[mcblankslate]

I am going through almost the same experience that K'naan is expressing in this song, and listening to it helps me deal with the fact that all I feel is pain right now. Thank you K'naan.

[SuperPignati]

I am going through almost the same experience that K'naan is expressing in this song, and it helps me deal with the fact that all I feel is pain right now.

[3003ian]

"if beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, how come everyone hush's when she walks by, how come girls would look just to scold her, how come the angel wanted to hold her..."

Speechless, incredible is all I have to say"

[skatchmo]

@3003ian My favorite part too. He's so angry that people wouldn't recognize her beauty. So angry that she was taken before she could fulfill it.

[tiktac24]

Such a beautiful song written by a tremendous talent. K'naan, you make us Somalis worldwide proud... and keep up the good work with your ever-inspiring music. You truly are a role model for our diaspora...God bless.

[KessiaErba682]

Grab the audio from this track at soundnabber doht cohm.

[divinagoettel22]

Great trailer man!! going to watch this in webmovietube

[ruthiemusiq]

i always lovee a song i can relate to

theres just something about a artist that is from "home" (africa)

im kenyan but i love knaan

hes amazing

[BOSNIAK16M]

@ruthiemusiq

BIG LIKE

even though im from europe not africa.

im a muslim bosnian and i know what it feels like to have people try to wipe out my people..all because we are a bit different and have a different religious view.

INSHALLAH people someday will get along.

[changeinthisworld]

Beautiful song, but is it just me or does he say "gun man" instead of "young man?"

[4lifebanned]

@changeinthisworld He says both lol. listen closely you'll hear both.

[Sannosuke01]

@changeinthisworld yes he does

[KitKatDiamond530]

So sweet (: I loved it the minute i heard it <3

[dhowa862]

please no insults. But could someone tell me who Fatima is?

[saladjeylani]

i like this snog i im Somalia bunto

[RogueAngel105]

Turns out Fatima was actually killed by a stray bullet during a shooting in the war. She was inside her house or some building and nobody knew about it untill afterwards. She lost her life for no reason.

What do we have to learn from this? War and hate bring nothing but death and dispear. And there's going to be many more stories like Fatima's in this world or even worse unless we actually try to do something about it. Guns don't save lives, people. They kill no matter what...

[RogueAngel105]

I heard this in my English 2 class today and I'm totally in love with it! Gunna go buy it on itunes now! XD

[rolio1]

This song is beautiful, it should have billions of views, where are all the other human beings? listening to lady gaga?!!!!!!!!

[dayax11]

34 people are junkies!!!

[shitblahblahshit]

his music is about real global issues.. not everyday bullshit.. if you're not moved or inspired by his music, you can't have any sympathy for humanity

[xheartshapebox]

I am 20, and i know for a fact i will listen to K'naan until the day i die, he is special, there's someone magical about him.

[mikaaeel2010]

omg its so sad :(

[DarkMasterCortex]

I raped the Replay Button.

[Hersheyparker]

@DarkMasterCortex Rape isn't funny. The jokes need to end.

[CocoAlex182]

Heartbreaking.

[msDimondPearl]

where our grandparents thought that we would be raised there.

where our parents believed we would have our children there. but things change and inshallah Somali will change and become a peaceful place that everyone will come to see. ! I N S H A L L A H <3

[TheNadra]

@msDimondPearl keep on dreaming LOL

[xxoumxx]

@msDimondPearl inshaAllah, why not .. :)

[7L00]

[toure52]

@moareviews yah kool

[asmaraani]

i think this is k,nans best song

[0911095]

this song is dedicated for fatima soualhi :D i talked to kanaan and he told me that personally ! :P believe it or not its your problemoooo :P:P:P

[zeezworld]

Did this really happen? I sincerely hope not :(

[luvadamgregory]

@zeezworld unfortunately it is. he spoke about it on Shameless Idealists. But the message behind it makes it that much more powerful! Check ctv.ca to see the full episode. It was amazing!

[viezehenk4]

K'naan is a freakin genius!

[united016]

Wow this is by far his best song...Amazing lyrics and melody

[FreeJigsawEarth]

"i asked god to slow down the seconds--

he does the opposite, that's what i'm guessin'.

i better chill, and count my own blessings."

perfecto.

this song is heart-wrenching, and beautiful, and inspiring.

we all have different levels of pain in our lives that we are forced to come to terms with, and as k'naan says, "the pain in my song is crazy."

my story is nothing like his, but it's hard.

being able to look at lost loved ones with celebration for their lives, rather than tears is valuable.

[Zahoora88]

this is so sad....I love this song!

[Sar0303]

K'naan is a gentleman !! his music is so PURE , love this type of music !

[77musicLoverZ]

knaan is a beautiful person. ive loved him for ever AND I STILL DO. hes finally famous. ive been waiting for like...a year and a half for all his songs to be recognized. he deserves it.

[xFamita]

LOLLLLL

[xFamita]

LOL...

[qk2slik]

im a paki.. but i gotta say dis brotha is too doppeee

[thackray909]

@qk2slik paki

[saludAka]

I'm Somalian and I Speak Somali,swahili and english But we don't speak arrabic... by the way great song bless rah

[ummnufeyl]

@saludAka bro the girl could speak the languages, has nothin to do with the country. I'm somali nd speak nd speak german. Nd by the way the from the two languages u said we speak we don't unless u live there, we mostly speak somali nd arabic, plus our language is mixed with arabic like 60%.

[saludAka]

@ummnufeyl Good point but I think 60% is too high why coz my best friend is sudanese and I hardly ever get a word by the way thks for the reply and god safe our country Somalia.

[Compton3clipsed]

@saludAka - Somalia needs saving, I'm a white American, I get a lot of shit for supporting and protecting Muslims in the community, equality is essence and K'naan can be a major figurehead, I hope to one day stand beside him funding the saving of Somalia and other wartorn, battle hardened countries.

[somrazy3]

@Compton3clipsed. you are a good person.

[ooosnapitssofiya]

@saludAka I'm Somali and I speak English, and Arabic. Most Somali people do know Arabic (like a high percentage) and the older generation also speak/understand Italian. Like our parents :)

[TheSuppypuppy]

i saw him perform this live tonight in edmonton alberta canada,it was so beautiful. ♥

[revolution1940]

Yeah, this song is beautiful :) real music. MUSIC. music.

i mean k'naan should get Grammy really 2011( vote up) if u agree

[mondod123]

@nuradin66 but he is stiil awwsome

[LoggyWD]

@nuradin66 you don't know the rules son. grammy is like oscar. they are degrading. some are only meant to deserve better, like globe.

[nuradin66]

@LoggyWD so u telling that k'naan does not deserve grammy

[JayVerdad]

[jesuspieces]

This song is so sad, yet so uplifting.

[tybash]

@Sar0303

Probably somali like him, some of them speak both languages.

[PharaohDaniyal]

@Sar0303 They speak Arabic and Swahili in Somalia.

[mstrueluver09]

@PharaohDaniyal ooh hell no we speak 1: SoMali<3 and 2:arabic 3:italian 4:eng

[babyshirhanlicious]

@Sar0303 Shes Propably Both

Some Are Both African And Arab

Like Me Lolol xx

[fa6oooom5522]

I love this song!

Im also called Fatima!

But i dont quite understand the story,

So, what i so far got was that Fatima got kidnapped or stolen by this gunman and then she died cuz he obviously killed her, and they live in Somali .. and thats it. Right?

[streetnamekane]

way better then the song i did about lost love

[4hammy1]

i hope im not the only one who didnt notice tht Fatima died and he was talkin about her death the whole time. i heard this song about 10 times and i never paid attention to the lyrics. kinda disappointing, but most importantly sad.

[krispin96]

wow, look at those 31 people who disliked the song...

[waffenSSkrieg]

I'm a racist person....i hate all the other races instead of mine....but this song its beautiful....peace & respect !
