  • ndadawo..

    

  • this is probably the most underrated song in history, thank you mt eden for introducing me 2 years ago

  • So beautiful .. Thumbs up if you get here by Mt Eden. :)

  • this sounds a lot like cat power's "the greatest"...

  • Im actualy listening to it some radio all the way frm south africa... Jakaranda! gr8t song!

  • freshly ground is one of BEST SOUTH AFRICAN artist

  • FUCK YEAH!!! THIS IS FROM THE JACK-IN-THE-BOX BREAKFAST PLATTER COMMERCIAL!!! HAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!­!!!!

  • finnaly i actually found what song this was called,

    yuss :D

  • i cant decide which version i like better ;-;

  • 240p........we meet again

    

  • Amazing, atlast i found it :)

  • Wow

  • dubstep version is trash. This is good just the way it is.

  • why the fu*k are you all talking about mt eden ? chill out and enjoy this fine track

  • my favorite part 1:22

    

  • @DUBnBLUNTZ. Freshlyground is a South African group. She is not from Sierra Leone.

  • ahh

    240p

    we meet again...

  • million unfulfilled wishes... I know what would I do, but still got no person to ask about what would she do.

  • Great song, I heard the dubstep remix to this it's really chilled but not much lyrics,, looked up this one and was like oh wow I like it ^-^

  • Incredible...absolutely amazing voice!

  • Shes Black :O ..Amazing.

  • @THESTRANGERWEIRDO420

    i think Mt Eden named it Sierra Leone because shes black and maybe thats where shes from:D

    Just a thought so dont hate:3

  • @DUBnBLUNTZ Well it was made in south africa and thats like the only place people live now adays.

  • @DUBnBLUNTZ HA Mt.Eden Is Near San Fran.

  • @THESTRANGERWEIRDO420

    I didnt say Mt Eden was from Sierra Leone i said maybe that's where shes from..

  • I just think Mt. Eden should have called I'd Like (Mt. Eden remix)... because he used more than just a little sample.

  • @salazam that's exactly what i was thinking. it's not even like it was chopped and rearranged, just sped up.

  • @KamKomissioner I agree, but they did chop quite a bit. There's no "Would you call me insensitive...and say that I deserved to die?" and quite a few other parts. I totally agree though, and listening to this honestly makes me like this more with all of the instruments that you can actually hear play beautifully together. <3 Glad I found it :D

  • @PurpleNosedWolfie haha i guess i should've specified. yea he cut alot out but by chop i meant parts of the song he cut from the song and used rather than dropped.

    but yea your right nice song though, reminds me of when i found the sample to blame game by kanye (avril 14 by aphex twin)

  • WUBWUBWUBWUBWUBWUBWUBWUBWUBWUB

    

  • i haved know only the mt eden version and my girl this version and in one day we were listening this melody and i was like wtf?i know a part of this and from then its our melody....

  • Thank you Mt.Eden, I like this much more than the sample.

  • I still wish I had more ears

  • dubstep is crap & we all know it is.

  • Sampling songs are just artist appreciating there preceders in the music industry and love them so much that they wish to take the song and combine it with their style. Thus succeeders are born.

  • personally i thank mt. eden for taking me here. i think they are both wonderful in their own ways.

  • I totaly really like 'n love this song...........! Freshly ground love u!

  • Mt. Eden wins.

  • wunderschön... einfach zum träumen...

  • To be fair to Mt Eden. Agent K and Bella sampled this first.

  • That's it, I'm making love to this song in the background right now!!!!!1!

  • never thort South African artists would get so much praise, people went to town with this tracks xv (american rapper) . xv - 30 000ft up in the sky

  • Words rarely said... Their beauty have been exposed in this unique track by Freshly Ground.... Lovely!!

  • freshly ground:) make SA proud

  • lazy ass dubsteppers.

    there is plenty of original content but mt.eden is nothing short of stolen, not remixed.

    It doesn't even give credit.

  • WAKAKAKAKAKAKAKKAKAKA

  • MY version of this song.

    /watch?v=fxnjdwVQJpo&hd=1

  • Why the hell does the original version not have as many views as this one? ORIGINAL--- /watch?v=nYJTWtT_YVU&ob=av2n

  • @KingOfUnce Because, Mr. NZ, the uploader made the video unviewable to anyone registered in the U.S. for whatever reason.

    Barring users from the most populous english speaking nation probably would have an effect on potential viewership.

  • thank god i finally found who mt eden sampled this from

  • <3  amazing

  • Thank you Mt Eden. Never would have found this if it wasnt for them.

  • @str8gangster187 thank you for saying them and not him cuz its annoying when people dont know that mt eden is a duo same as showtek

  • gawjuss

  • I'd like to smack 36 people...

  • what a tune :)

  • its best without any mix, just the original..

  • thmbs up if mt eden brought you here

  • This song is beautiful, and yes I heard it first from Mt Eden. I had such a hard time finding this sample though, I commented on so many "sierra leone" videos asking if anyone knew the sample!

  • @neongreenrobot No, I'm actually super cultured and listen South African Afro-fusion music all the ti- ah, fuck it, you caught me

  • So much better than the one on the vevo channel...

  • I'd like you to need me one time... :)

  • What would I do if you kissed me? I'd play with my rhythm stick.

  • I found this song by accident, but I don't mind! It's one of the most beautiful songs I know!

  • what i went though to find this song. no wonder why sierra leone is so amazing. the original is amazing

  • can anyone tell me if that mt.eden song title "sierra leone" was blatently named that way or are the artists not aware that the people who made this song are from a place reasonably far from there??

  • wow how did mt. eden find this beautiful song!?!?!?

  • Tears to me eyes

  • I've had Sierra Leone dubstep on my iPod for months, but never knew about this song. Very beautiful.

  • Sierra leone dubstep

  • Had the chance to see them live at Montreal Jazzfest... They burned the stage :)

  • @ZeQuebecois I was there as well! Great show!

  • Kinda sad that the Dubstep remix is more popular, both are really awesome

  • @MGuD18 i second that notion

  • zolani is one gifted woman

  • I love the remix but I think it's mistitled cuz these guys are South African lol. unless this song has to do with Sierra Leone

  • This song needs to be uploaded in HD by someone

  • Thumbs up if Mt Eden brought you here.

  • I guess 31poeple have never loved before

  • Mt Eden does it better

  • @WaldemarHolst Nou...

    

  • @WaldemarHolst not to me.

  • Who the fuck cares if Mt Eden sampled this song. I would have never found this beautiful song if it were not for Mt. Eden.  He should have given credit, but we're all at least somewhat technologically versed and a lot of us managed to find our way here from the Mt. Eden Version. Thanks Mt. Eden for sampling this, and guiding me to this beautiful piece of music!

  • @NairbSenoj Agreed man, would've never found this song without Mt Eden

  • @NairbSenoj I think its Freshylyground you should be defending, since they're the ones put down by most here for having an "inferior" version. My argument is that if FG didn't do the song, Mt.Eden (whoever they are) wouldn't have had anything to sample and make a hit out of. FG should be given credit, not disrespected. I wish ppl could appreciate on without dissing the other.

  • @NairbSenoj THAT IS RIGHT, Definitely Right Piece of ART

  • @NairbSenoj couldnt say it better!

  • :D<3

  • Mt Eden Sierra Leone stole these lyrics without credit

  • buzzy listening to after the mt eden remix!!

  • I love this one just as much, hence sierra leone

  • this song is the story of my freaking life...if i had a dime for everytime i could relate to this, i would be the next bill gates

  • ooo wahooo waho ooo whaoo owaooo

  • I knew Mt. Eden couldn't have made this from scratch. Only took me ten years to find the original version of this song, but definitely worth it.

  • @Armistotle Ever heard of this thing called google? ^^

  • @MrGlies No.

  • @Armistotle Never mind then. Wait till you discover yahoo!

  • @Armistotle jesus it took me like 15 minutes. Not that hard.

  • haha damn i played sierra leone and used a song recognition app, n found this song. i love it ! :)

  • @datfatjunt same here... :)) love it <3

  • i really appreciate great lyrics and the few songs that appear every few years

  • does anyonme now goood songs like this

  • she has an amazing voice but this music is not my taste.i like the mt eden version better

  • I don't care if Mt Eden is shit. It sounds good. This deserves 1/2 of the credit on Sierra Leone, also... her voice and the way she sings is just amazing.

  • this kind of music isn't my thing. but it is as close to perfection as music can get

  • I'd Like Freshly Ground Music Video SOO LOL ITS SO COO WOOOOOW

  • @GTAmastermind1 l2 edit comments retard.

  • I'd Like Freshly Ground Music Video SOO COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLL­LLL

  • @GTAmastermind1 kill yourself

  • @odaxelagniaproject why so mean?

  • awesome

    

  • Oh god... this is beatiful

  • Finally know what he sampled, I don't even like Mt Eden that much but them vocals are damn catchy! ;)

  • such a beautiful, fresh song by 1 of my favourite bands. thumbs up if u think freshly ground's awesome

  • cool

  • Royalty.

  • I heard Mt.Eden's remix of this, and both are amazing!

  • OMG this is awesome as hell too!! jeez

  • Comment removed

  • @crazesmokeitall i was jus lookin at em thinkin, its a gud thing this is the og and we can make the words out

  • I have searched for this song for YEARSSSSS

    It's just beautiful

  • Remix sounds cool. Love it

    But this....this is way more meaningful to me

  • WOB-WOB-WOB

  • Doesn't change the fact that he's a shit producer.

  • WOAHHHH! OH OH WOOOOAHHHHH!

  • the Mt eden dubstep is way better in my opinion

  • Comment removed

  • I love this song <3

  • both versions are great. i love hearing the original versions of songs and comparing them to the sampled one, try to get inside the producers brain a bit.

  • @gavinjamesaitken1 couldn't agree more

  • Mt eden is a shit producer.

  • @TheMiracleTheSleeper is he really? i don't see "the miracle the sleeper" selling out shows across america. hater

  • @gavinjamesaitken1 I don't need to be a famous producer to tell you that he's shit.

  • @TheMiracleTheSleeper well i dont think you need to be a famous producer but you do need to have some credibility, jealous troll.

  • @gavinjamesaitken1 If I was trolling I'd be trying a lot harder.

    Mt. Eden is shit.

  • @gavinjamesaitken1 mteden is definitely overhyped. he is mediocre as a producer there is no argument its fact. his sound is not refined at all. and the bassline/drums in sierra leone are just plain bad.

  • @ravingdave900 I don't give a fuck what anyone says, Mt. Eden's dubstep remix of this is god damn brilliant.

  • @TheMiracleTheSleeper Ah, shut your shit up. No one gives a fuck about what you think.

  • the mt eden is soooo better, i feel like this is a old movie, its makin me depressed.

  • @SierraaScreammQueenn that is the video you're criticizing, not the version of the song. Stick to what's important.

  • Comment removed

  • mt eden so is ill, but this is too peaceful

  • For all those who are saying that mt eden didnt give these guys credit are mistaken. If you remembered on the original sierra leone video that mt eden uploaded he gives them credit in the description box and also the link for this video. Well thats how I got to know this great band.

  • Mt Eden was great reklam for freshlyground...

    this is perfect song, but i still love Mt Eden version...

  • I like both versions I think any one that tries to compare MtEdens to this is a fucking idiot they are two seperate styles and should be assesed individually, Mt eden sampled it get over it many songs have been sampled over the years and people will never agree if its better or worst due to the personall connection people develop with music, I like MTEdens version i heard that one first but it lead me to this which I also love and this has lead me to more Freshly Ground so Win for all. Peace. x

  • @MrJungleboy58 finally someone who knows what SENSE is in this thread!

  • You can tell this is from the old days when users uploaded music videos and not record companies

  • mt eden just put shit dubstep over this song and didnt credit freshly ground

  • well... this has ruined mt eden for me. dunno to be happy or sad?

  • omg this song is amazing! its better than any other version!

  • LOL double top rated comments.

  • She has a beautiful voice..

  • I kinda prefer mt edens version

  • This song gives me goose bumps..

  • you feel so accomplished when you find a song with perfect lyrics and a perfect sound

  • both the remix and the original are perftect

  • @leonteios95 But your spelling isn't...

  • @vikiwozeya haha yes you have a point :P

  • @leonteios95 ^_^

  • @vikiwozeya Lol and spelling is the most important thing in the world, yeah. Bit of a dick thing to say, tbh.

  • @FearfulFilth No, spelling isn't the most important thing in the world, but it is very important.. and I was just pointing out something... Could have been nicer about it I suppose.

  • haha when i heard the dubstep of this wooah woaaah oh part i actually thought it was phil collins with an edited voice hahah

  • The lyrics are soooo spot-on! :O

  • The Secret Lemon Project - Sierra Le-Owned

    Watch that to see what happens to Mt Eden for not mentioning Freshly Ground

  • @ReLaXnTaKeNoTeSx Yes!

    Got it on my channel!

    Everyone listen!

  • @ReLaXnTaKeNoTeSx Watched some of the video. I was impressed by the cracking of the original image. To your first point, though, Mt Eden does credit the artist, as evidenced by their last.fm page. However, that page may be fan-edited, I unno.

  • mt eden did very little production wise to this song. he's an amateur at best.

  • i agree this song is underrated .but i think the mt eden track is amazing too .

    the fact that mt eden managed to keep the emotion of the original vocal intact is the only reason i even discovered this song . so welldone mteden :)
