Everyone should calm the hell down, and realize that this song has NOTHING to do with war. Only the last two people to comment on this got it right - the writer, a good friend of Johnette Napolitano (the singer for Concrete Blonde), wrote this song for his friend, a woman named Wendy, who contracted HIV... people really ought to research things before sticking their feet in their mouths, or the heads up their asses.
Everyone thought Iraq was for OIL WELL NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW THIS BUT AFGHANISTAN HAS MORE MINERALS THAN MOST OF THE WORLD COMBINED THEY WILL BE MINING IT FOR THE NEXT 100 YEARS AND THEY STILL WONT RUN OUT
people always say"I support the troops.How is that?By putting a yellow ribbon on your car.(some people do support troops)If people really wanted to support their troops they should have been out protesting the war in Iraq so they can come home.People say that protest disgraces troops.it doesnt.it means we don't want them killed.we dont want them to die for nothing.What have we gained by being in iraq?Im so glad they are finnally coming home.I honestly thought we would be their much longer.
waaaaaaa.......waaaaaaaaaa.....war costs soooooooooooooo much. buck up sissy, war is the reason you can bitch about shit w/o severe consequences. pussy.
@jimbobteet Iraq was never a threat ,I have no problem with defending the world from a threat but they never were and spending one trillion dollars just to make big oil companies richer and appease your bigotry seems like a colossal waste , I also love how brave you are with other peoples lives
@tovasdad Who made u poor Americans the world police. Sorry do like Americans as people but u have had the wool pulled over ur eyes. stand up America and realise what is happening to u. u r making yourselves targets.
@tovasdad first, where is all the oil that we supposedly went to Iraq for? Secondly, I guess you didn't know about the first gulf war liberating Kuwait? We lost soldiers there, and hussein was supposed to abide by these un sanctions. For 8 years under clinton, he didn't abide by them, it was a disgrace to let the man stay in power when our people spilled their blood there. Un sanctions didn't work, Iraq was about to have them lifted. read up on the oil for food scandal.
@tovasdad Not to mention, the entire world intelligence said, they had the weapons. Im still convinced they did. We debated and waited for months before invading them. I'll tell you, if I know you are going to raid my house and you give me six months, you wont find crap for evidence.
@jimbobteet This is such a profoundly stupid comment that I wish I was Hitler so I could rape your family in front of you then gas them while I jack off to their dying screams. Kill yourself you worthless piece of shit. I hope your children die in a fire and burn in hell for multiple eternities. FUCK YOU FAGGOT
@jimbobteet really......war is the reson indian are in pens.....in the name of god and freedom...war is the reason rome fell....war is the reason .....or the means by which rich people steal...freedom, religion and humanity are the cloak under which they do it. ok. quit trying to impress your 6th grade history teacher.
@jimbobteet war happens so people can make money from it. I am an Aussie and am wondering when u Americans r going to wake up and realise u r cannon fodder for certain other people. if u dont get what i am saying look into it. Who has attacked America before 2001, who has America attacked before then, sorry but many countries the question is why. look into it.
@alison26552 That's amazingly simplistic of you. Let me guess -- you're not yet 20 years old, right? The battle that saved Australia in 1942, Coral Sea, provides a pretty good alternate example.
If we spent all our money on research instead of weapons, you wouldn't be typing that idiocy on your computer in your warm home. Not to mention the fact that you'd be speaking a different language and probably standing in line for you next roll of toilet paper.
it is hard to believe in god or any other religion when there is so much suffering in this world, so many innocents slaughtered and the greedy wealthy get more wealthy. so hard and I truely believe when we die thats it no heaven or hell just vast nothing. that is why we must make the best of it NOW and help others. I have listened to Concrete Blonde since the late 80's and still LOVE them
your right gigglybug I was at a concerte by them at the Whiskey and it was about a friend who killed herself because she had A.I.D.S. and there was no hope back thene.
im crying so hard right now.... WHAT HAPPENED TO WORLD PEACE?! I REMEMBER WHEN I HEARD ON THE NEWS WHEN I WAS 5 THAT WORLD PEACE IS COMING TO THE WORLD SOON! WELL ITS FUCKING 2011! WERE IS IT! WE DONT HAVE CRAP OF ANY TYPE OF PEACE! PEACE TO PEOPLE TODAY IS WAR...STOP IT!!! PEOPLE NEED TO FUCKING STOP IT! IM SICK OF THE LIES!
@toolfangirl Listen to the song "Where Is The Love" by the Black Eyed Peas. I always think of world peace when I hear this amazing tune and still hold out that there is hope for all of humankind. Peace.
that there is always hope. sorry for all the messages guys but i cant ever fit all i have to say in 500 characters. and if you are to look at my page then i am jesse because i chare a page but if you would like to talk about anything and you dont feel like you have someone to talk to, i would be more than happy to talk to you i have a skype a yahoo and a personal youtube and a facebook. not that i expect anyone to take me up on that offer but just incase theres someone out there... im here.
@bubbah671 its cool man its just my birthday is may 11 and something screwed always happens on and around my birthday so im usually in a bad mood and yesterday i just flipped. but thx man its nice to know someone's listening.
over and i hope that you guys have a nice day and for your sake go be with your family they need you and you need them and who knows today may be the last day you see them. god knows that the most random things can happen at the most random times. so go to your wife girlfriend or kids and tell them you love and love them like todays the last day you'll ever see them because it may. and for those of you who have lost your families or have not had them, i feel the deepest sorrow for you and know
sorry about my previous comment guys im really a nice person but everything just builds up and it comes out in violent spells that i hope you can forgive me for but i simply just dont understand why people have to do and say stuff like that. why put someones stuff down. tonight is just a bad night for me i guess. just like everyone else in this world i have problems and im sorry if i have inconvenienced anyone. and i dont really want him to die because theres already so much death. i just boiled
@elonexification Hey man! I'm sorry for being a douchebag! Thanks for the message. I can be a dickhead sometimes, but generally not that often. Peace.
@bodhitaichi if i find where you live i will slit your fucking throat you quivering peice of ant shit. im sick and tired of worthless peices of shit like you opening your fucking pie holes and bad mouthing and putting down good shit. i hope you fucking get hit by a bus. i wish that people in this world didnt hate, i wish that love was more abundant. and i wish that parents would quit raising there kids to be shit heads like youand i wish that there was no corruption in this world but who am i.
@elonexification You wish the people in this world didn't hate and you wish love was more abundant and yet you want to slit my throat? Why don't you focus less on Youtube comments and learn how to spell, you fucking cunt!
@scarecrow6988 how much do u know about Gadafi?? the situation in Libya?? just wondering...ppl want 2 jump Obama's case over this when he was pretty much the last one on board over taking military action..don't believe the media hype n the shit on the internet...find out 4 urself n stay informed
@scarecrow6988 ok..last time i'm replying 2 u..are your "boy" comments suppose to be offending me??? LOL..i'm a female u moron...know anything about Libya yet??? lol
@scarecrow6988 upset?? LOL...maybe u r. I feel sorry for people as stupid as you appear to be...stupid people don't upset me, they make me laugh!! Thanx for all the laughs, but really gotta go now. btw, you never addressed the original point...first sign of stupidity followed by nothing else but
Wow I didnt know that o.o this is one of my favorite songs but I never knew it was bout that necessarily but it makes sense now that I know haven't heard since I was lil :) love this band
Johnette Napolitano has explained in live performances that Wendy committed suicide instead of slowly dying, suffering with AIDS and also about her friend (the writer Andy Prieboy) trying to grieve, but still being frustrated with AIDS and how f--ked up our society is about it and the stigma of having it.
@gigglybug75 She also said at a live show "If we spent 1/10 of the money on research that we have on this war there would never have to be another Wendy" this video is about the human indifference that allow the Wendy's of the world to suffer
God gave you heart and brain, so you can make your own choices and in the end you can decide if its worthed, we start so many wars in the name of God, Country and their all FALSE , and this song is about a woman with AIDS ....war is ignorance, its evolution baby!! Bollocks...
this is a song about a woman with aids. the author makes it apparent that he is in pain and nothing can fix it! and nothing compares to the helplessness of everyone involved. especially those who love her
the world is harsh yet she is something else, word to the source and your experience here its all right where you are all the time. it is us. all of everyone, everywhere and all of the time. it cannot be helped or saved cause we are repeats of consciousness exacting itself to you like a mirror that you fiercely swiped from your own realizations. wow and what and so on my contemparies of our time and how do i spell that word i got wrong?
I'm so sorry about writing the comment about war. It's not a song about war. The way he put the video together was just very moving on a song that is emotional on it's own merit. I was just thinking out loud.
It's a song about AIDS and struggling through an illness you know you can't beat. It's about finding peace within the inevitable even when it's sad.
though I feel there is a better version of this. I can't find it but If I remember right it was sung by a guy called Louis Tippett (something like that) & Johnette Napolitano sang backing vocals & sung the .last verse. Wish iI could find that version
@wardenfishbone35 There is a version by Andy Prieboy, the original writer of the song, of Wall of Voodoo and Johnette sings not only backing vocals but the last part ("Only God says jump..."--in Andy's version that verse comes earlier in the song.
Thank you so much for making this video. It brought me to tears & made me realise that we all still have so much work to do in order to make this world a better place.
There needs to be more tolerance, acceptance & peace, & less violence, hatred, war & judgement. It makes me sick that in this day & age, gays & lesbians are still being discriminated against, there's still racism & there are still religious zealots trying to pass judgement. Everyone is equal. Why do we forget that?
in response to the poster's commentary: I'm not 100% sure and it's possible that my memory is failing me but I seem to remember reading somewhere that this song was written with the inspiration about a close dear friend who was dying diagnosed with AIDS and was going through denial by living in the past before the diagnosis back in a time when this person still had their health. It was written by that one guy from Wall of Voodoo if I remember right.
I believe this song was originally about a 10-year-old girl, dying in a hospital room. Her family members are calling to her from the other side, telling her this night will be her last and to not be afraid.
its about a chick who found out she had AIDS way back when nobody knew what it was or how to treat it, it was a death sentence, i believe the chick ended up killing herself, not much has changed though, contrary to what the government/media will lead you to believe, this disease is still a death sentence, forget about the glossy pretty advertisements with goodlooking models promoting new medications, its all B$, more ca$h for pharma, just like war.
@garebear1015 well America IS the Stongest millitary power in the world and exactly how much peace do you really have NONE now lets look at say Jamaca what do they have in the way of an army not much and they have all the peace in the world I mean after all how many protesters are chanting " DEATH TO JAMACA" None When you look at the countries that no one wants to invade it is funny how they don't have an army to speak of
It's not just an army that they don't have, they don't really have anything at all. The countries nobody wants have nothing, hence the nobody wanting them bit. Any country with a vibrant economy, culture, and or bountiful resources need an armed force or those without those things will invade and take them. It's as simple as that. Jamaca, for all it's charm, has next to nothing valuable to other countries, and so needs little in the way of protection.
@barrenwaste Peace, life, liberty and enough to eat. The rest isnt as important. After all, YOU dont own the resources in your country; someone else controls them.
@OgreProgrammer: You can't have peace, life, liberty, and enough to eat without those resources. The food you buy, that's a resource. The wood that made your home, that's a resource. The people of the nation do own the resources, through private ownership, citizenship, and corporations. When you pay your taxes and cast a vote you are exercising your authority over those resources. Other peoples will fight to take them from you, history proves that, and armies stop them from succeeding.
@tovasdad This is a AIDS song and you know what as AIDS affects a lot of gay guys try being a open gay guy in "Jamica" and see what the peaceful locals do to you in Jamacia. They will kill and torture you with the approval of the locals. Not a cool comparsion, its a drug infested pretty island loaded with poverty and hate ..compare Jamica to the USA is like comparing shit to chocolate ice cream
@tovasdad ummm Jamaica isn't peaceful at all. Sure the connotation of that word is peace-loving, pot smoking happy people, but the drug cartels and the Jamaican police are practically at war. No one says death to Jamaica because they don't have a large enough influence on the world for that to happen.
@kparisharts Don't like the Jamaica analogy fine how about Switzerland or Sweden or maybe Canada , all are richer have more resources , higher standard of living , lower crime rates and NO ONE and I MEAN NO ONE wants to invade them in fact the swiss have lived in peace for almost 700 years so my statement still rings true
@tovasdad canada and switzerland are in very comfortable situations - less populated countries in close proximity to mighty neighbors. they therefore benefit in many ways with this cozy situation. in all fairness, canada has supported the US over the years. switzerland has only given tax havens to the world's greediest and sleaziest....
@tovasdad Hmmm. Nobody wants to "invade" the US. Some backwards ass camel jockeys want to kill Americans, but they don't want to "invade". You're an idiot. Case closed.
@tovasdad Switzerland, Sweden and Canada are more richer and have more resources than the United States??? Are you serious? Besides...the reason those countries have been able to live in peace is because of us! Pay attention to what is really going on. We take the heat for most of the world because we're able to. That's what being a super power is all about.
@EchigoDragon WOW REALLY ???? SO America proteceted Switzerland for hundreds of years huh? and as far as the richer you might want to read a little before you speak , those are three of the richest countries in the world and just for one Example (and yes there are more I am just choosing one ) The only Country producing more oil than Canada is Saudi and Canada has more untapped oil than ANY one that is why while America has double digit unemployment mush of Canada is around 3% so ya richer
@tovasdad I don't see the Swiss pitching in any where near as we do in eliminating the bad in the world. Who's going after the Iranians? The North Koreans? Who's going to go head to head with the Chinese? WE ARE. Largest economy in the world dim wad....rich! YOU read.
@EchigoDragon thank you for proving my point I don't think I could have made it any clearer than you just did you just proved every thing I have said to be correct and the funny part is you weren't trying to
@tovasdad They also have nothing to take. I hate war just as much as anyone. I hate the thought that my boys may have to go and deffend someone who doesn't even apreciate it. As long as there are people in this world there will be war. The deciding factor in how we live is who has the best weapons. Hitler didn't need an enemy, he sought one. The Jews in Germany had no deffence either, how well did that turn out for them. Peace depends on who holds the best weapons, and is willing to use them.
Someone who can't even spell Jamaica correctly shouldn't be allowed to speak about it. Here's a history lesson asshole: The only reason countries like Jamaica still exist today is because of the BILLIONS of dollars of foreign aid that the country you hate so much, AMERICA donates to them. What's the first nation to come to their aid after a hurricane destroys them every year?? AMERICA! America donates more to humanitarian aid and charity than all other countries combined. ASSHOLE!
My name is Wendy, the first time I thought this song was written by people who were following me. It was a dark time in my life, I wanted to die. Now I appreciate this song ty for posting it I've been looking for it ever since:)
fuck war and everyone who believes in it. fuck religion as well. thats whats wrong with the world. it makes us different. FUCK. The only good man on earth was fucking shot by some fucking idiot who read a book. What the fuck. Come on PEOPLE. Wake the fuck up or we all will be sleeping.
love the imagery...love this song...some things should never be forgotten, lest we allow the mistakes of our past to become the tragedies of our childrens future.
@nalabooboo and you live in a world where your very brave with OTHER peoples lives it's not that I don't value the men and women of the millitary but rather I value it so much that I am not willing to abuse their gift by sending them needlessly into battle just to make some rich asshole richer
@tovasdad no its the governments job to treat the military as such both of you live in a world that was is and always will be payed for by the blood of men and women who place the life of others above them selfs. staff sgt. O'Donnell
@heraldleader The girl didn't die of AIDS. She found out she had gotten it back when it first got public attention and at that time it was said to be a death sentence. So instead of waiting to waste away, she said her goodbyes and killed herself.
I really liked your video and your interpretation of this song. And I'm not trying to be mean when I say this but Concrete Blonde has always been one of my favorites and this song was actually written about a girl who is dying of AIDS. But again....I did like your take on it. :)

I told the priest, don't count on any second coming
God got his ass kicked the first time he came down here slumming
He had the balls to come, the gall to die and then forgive us
No, I don't wonder why, I wonder what He thought it would get us?
Hey, hey, good bye, tomorrow Wendy is going to die

Johnette Napolitano has explained in live performances that Wendy committed suicide instead of slowly dying, suffering with AIDS and also about her friend (the writer Andy Prieboy) trying to grieve, but still being frustrated with AIDS and how f--ked up our society is about it and the stigma of having it.

@gigglybug75 She also said at a live show "If we spent 1/10 of the money on research that we have on this war there would never have to be another Wendy" this video is about the human indifference that allow the Wendy's of the world to suffer

I'm so sorry about writing the comment about war. It's not a song about war. The way he put the video together was just very moving on a song that is emotional on it's own merit. I was just thinking out loud.
It's a song about AIDS and struggling through an illness you know you can't beat. It's about finding peace within the inevitable even when it's sad.

@wardenfishbone35 There is a version by Andy Prieboy, the original writer of the song, of Wall of Voodoo and Johnette sings not only backing vocals but the last part ("Only God says jump..."--in Andy's version that verse comes earlier in the song.

Thank you so much for making this video. It brought me to tears & made me realise that we all still have so much work to do in order to make this world a better place.
There needs to be more tolerance, acceptance & peace, & less violence, hatred, war & judgement. It makes me sick that in this day & age, gays & lesbians are still being discriminated against, there's still racism & there are still religious zealots trying to pass judgement. Everyone is equal. Why do we forget that?
socialmoon 1 year ago
in response to the poster's commentary: I'm not 100% sure and it's possible that my memory is failing me but I seem to remember reading somewhere that this song was written with the inspiration about a close dear friend who was dying diagnosed with AIDS and was going through denial by living in the past before the diagnosis back in a time when this person still had their health. It was written by that one guy from Wall of Voodoo if I remember right.

I believe this song was originally about a 10-year-old girl, dying in a hospital room. Her family members are calling to her from the other side, telling her this night will be her last and to not be afraid.

its about a chick who found out she had AIDS way back when nobody knew what it was or how to treat it, it was a death sentence, i believe the chick ended up killing herself, not much has changed though, contrary to what the government/media will lead you to believe, this disease is still a death sentence, forget about the glossy pretty advertisements with goodlooking models promoting new medications, its all B$, more ca$h for pharma, just like war.
what a world.

@tovasdad
It's not just an army that they don't have, they don't really have anything at all. The countries nobody wants have nothing, hence the nobody wanting them bit. Any country with a vibrant economy, culture, and or bountiful resources need an armed force or those without those things will invade and take them. It's as simple as that. Jamaca, for all it's charm, has next to nothing valuable to other countries, and so needs little in the way of protection.

OgreProgrammer 1 year ago
@OgreProgrammer: You can't have peace, life, liberty, and enough to eat without those resources. The food you buy, that's a resource. The wood that made your home, that's a resource. The people of the nation do own the resources, through private ownership, citizenship, and corporations. When you pay your taxes and cast a vote you are exercising your authority over those resources. Other peoples will fight to take them from you, history proves that, and armies stop them from succeeding.

@tovasdad This is a AIDS song and you know what as AIDS affects a lot of gay guys try being a open gay guy in "Jamica" and see what the peaceful locals do to you in Jamacia. They will kill and torture you with the approval of the locals. Not a cool comparsion, its a drug infested pretty island loaded with poverty and hate ..compare Jamica to the USA is like comparing shit to chocolate ice cream

@tovasdad ummm Jamaica isn't peaceful at all. Sure the connotation of that word is peace-loving, pot smoking happy people, but the drug cartels and the Jamaican police are practically at war. No one says death to Jamaica because they don't have a large enough influence on the world for that to happen.

@kparisharts Don't like the Jamaica analogy fine how about Switzerland or Sweden or maybe Canada , all are richer have more resources , higher standard of living , lower crime rates and NO ONE and I MEAN NO ONE wants to invade them in fact the swiss have lived in peace for almost 700 years so my statement still rings true

@tovasdad canada and switzerland are in very comfortable situations - less populated countries in close proximity to mighty neighbors. they therefore benefit in many ways with this cozy situation. in all fairness, canada has supported the US over the years. switzerland has only given tax havens to the world's greediest and sleaziest....

@tovasdad They also have nothing to take. I hate war just as much as anyone. I hate the thought that my boys may have to go and deffend someone who doesn't even apreciate it. As long as there are people in this world there will be war. The deciding factor in how we live is who has the best weapons. Hitler didn't need an enemy, he sought one. The Jews in Germany had no deffence either, how well did that turn out for them. Peace depends on who holds the best weapons, and is willing to use them.

Someone who can't even spell Jamaica correctly shouldn't be allowed to speak about it. Here's a history lesson asshole: The only reason countries like Jamaica still exist today is because of the BILLIONS of dollars of foreign aid that the country you hate so much, AMERICA donates to them. What's the first nation to come to their aid after a hurricane destroys them every year?? AMERICA! America donates more to humanitarian aid and charity than all other countries combined. ASSHOLE!
