He's not as famous as artists who pay some thousands to be listenning at the radio ... He doesn't need that ! People who know what music really is ,know he's incredible and the best in his category.
@nextcobain I believe this song has an even deeper meaning that is more universal, whether Harper wrote it with a personal God in mind or not. I think its about being grateful to be a live and witness the beauty of the universe. Even if you don't believe in a personal god, the blessing is still there, and one can appreciate the wonder of it all.
amen boysxlikexgirlz, i hear this song and i literally thank god i have the life and loving family i do, i am blessed to have so much freedom and love and when i realise it it brings tears to my eyes,
one of the best songs ever, it brings tearsto my eyes, and it makes you realize how blessed you are......we sang this many times at montreat this summer
csj19 if you don't like a song why listen to it then make ignorant and negative comments about it. You must have a very empty life to waste time putting negative comments out there
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this is honestly one of the worst songs i have ever heard. lotta Tarzan influences going on here. Whoever can listen to this whole song is really talented
tarzan influences?! Do you even know what corcovado is for instance, or where it is, or the culture of the people that are the real influence of this music? Do you even know anything about the main instrument he is playing? Get some knoledge about the influences in this song and than call Tarzan and Jane to listen!
@taniafernandes the instrument is called "tongue-drum" and corcovado is that jesus statue in rio de janero !!! ben is very apreciated by brasilians maybe they was his influence in that time I don't know !
@taniafernandes Tarzan influence.. i'd prefer to call it ethnic influence.That said, i chose to message u because u may be able to help me :) I am looking for a specific type of music & have had no luck coz I dont know what to search under.If i could take the sounds of this song without the vocals thats what it would sound like.Do you (or anyone for that matter)Any idea what I should search under??Something with a tribal sound but thats a song rather then drumming-not sure how else to desrcibe.
@taniafernandes no reason for arrogance, hermana. And 'knoledge' is spelled, 'knowledge.' See, we all have our little flaws...... "than" is spelled ''then''.
