Sananda Maitreya - O Divina

[giovy6613]

Ciao raga,Samanda io lo conosco e sempre un grande il suo nuovo cd e uno spettacolo,compratelo si intitola NIGOR MORTIS,e stupendo fidatevi

[goodylook]

this guy is up there with michael jackson. do we have to wait for him to die first? this guy is the real thing.

finally, i dont have to listen to so much of the plastic music that seems to pervade everywhere today.

[Y2KControl7]

Fairly plain vanilla ode to a girl with a weird name. His TTD stuff was way better

[rossonero72]

wow che artista numero uno, ma che fine ha fatto?

[Adlamir]

I love him!!!!!!!

[Kokokiable]

How old is this?

[francovor]

about 10 years (2000)

[fhanorse]

is awesome when he used to be terence trend darvi many years ago, now still young!

awesomer

[keep0ffgrass]

I think it was Terence Trent D'Arby. Any idea why he changed his name?

[Erikkok1970]

It is. He wanted to break loose from the record companies I guess.

[lidiamalgieri]

Divino tu!!!

[daiamod]

so cool

[spotball7]

trent 'Darby?

[MAZMARTinc]

One of my favorite vocalists ever. Amazing voice and range.

[Djinga]

I love this guy's voice, I think he's amazing, but this is just one bad song.

[RubyTwilite]

Hmmm...this is too much like 70's easy listening music. I prefer his TTD material that had a bit of funk to it.

[PeekaPeep]

This song is one of his best album openers. Sets up the Wildcard album quite nicely, too. He never went away, just the fans who were only there briefly for his pop crossover success back in the late-80s. Man, did they EVER miss out on what he truly had to offer them once the initial hype died down...

[TijucaWeirdo]

Damn he's good.

[byronbee]

Amazing track! xx

[Bigsarmat2008]

дерьмо негроидное

[mireya5]

genial

[HaloedG]

You're stupid. He created this name for himself after a lucid dream and reinvented himself.

[mrsdottie514]

wish i had known that, I love this side of him better.......now i know what name to look up

[ericcontroversy]

dude just plays what he wants to play gotta respect that...dude kinda reminds me of prince in some ways....just a little..lol

[MrJohnZi]

royal, beautiful

magnificent voice!!!

[thatniggasilk]

still very talented and gifted, his voice is one of a kind still today instantly recognizable ! ! ! ! !

[Catstrut99]

Fantastic!

[scudderbug]

TTD/Sananda got blacklisted from the mainstream music industry for various reasons. He marched to his own drummer and displayed individualistic behavior they the record execs couldn't control. So he released this wonderful music that fell on largely deaf ears. Too bad, for he is a genius and will only be recognized 20 years from now.

[TonyMacina]

I agree strongly with your argument that he is an individual, yet i don't think he will ever be recognised as the great performer he is. Sananda's music is so eclectic and powerful yet no major publications or media give him the credit he deserves.

[MUN7001]

welll maybe you can promote him now because its the internet age right, i like his music too, reminds me of how the old school sounded like, with all the genres mixed,

[picchionero]

what a voice!

[xxxlady77]

always suspected there's a thin line btwn genius/sanity

[k9tttttttttttttttttt]

a thin line btwn genius/insanity--

[think that's what u had in mind instead, xxxlady77]

[xxxlady77]

yep

[michielkeller]

nicely produced song! Keep up the good work maitreya!

[MexicanHumanoid]

Yes, flying is quite often the activity I am most compelled to embark upon. To keep yourself in the dream I find it helps to actively keep your mind distracted by focusing your attention on details in the dream. It's like balancing on a tightrope-keeping yourself from allowing the excitement to wake you. My favorite thing to do in a lucid dream is look for artwork that doesnt yet exist in real life, or to listen to music which has also yet been written. Amazing the art you can find in your mind

[sincereradical]

Chris Rock once said that D'arby was his favorite performer. He said that he once played him at a party and the crowd was really grooving to it. When people asked the artist, he told them and they stopped dancing. No joke.

[ddenniscoleman3]

Yeah sincereradical. I saw a picture of Chris Rock with Sananda after his performance in New York. I've been trying to mail Chris Rock to one of his website to help promote this grand performer despite of all the blacklisting he gets from the mainstream (The fact that he was on the same label as Michael Jackson in the late 80s didn't help matters either). I can't seem to reach him because the email addresses (he has 2 I believe) conflict one another....Do you think you can help sincereradical?

[MUN7001]

it cause s hes black and he loves that natural soul music, not that carbon copy crap

[sincereradical]

Oh, this was never played on the radio or the video played. A damned shame.

[slowdive922]

this is such a great song, why haven't i ever heard it before? something in the video gives me the creeps though!

[lemonpleezee]

dang, that's a cool song to chill to, and his hair looks really good on him, some guys can't rock that hair successfully

[KolodziejczykKuba]

thanks!!!

[HaloedG]

Damn, I wish I could sing like him!

[bettyblue7]

what a voice-super

[mensacyclist]

I don't listen to radio at all, but I'll assume this song never came close to the top of the charts. IT SHOULD HAVE. This song is incredibly good, infectious and demonstartes TTD's icredible skill as a musician. I recently played fish/flesh after not listening to it for years. I was ashamed that I forgot how good it was. I spent the next hour on Youtube catching up with TTD and found this song. I never knew it existed. The next stop was Ebay to buy the rest of his work. MORE!!!!!

[enzoscarface]

yeah

[BabyBoomr]

'How bout right here? Heh, heh

[eolopastoni]

lovely!! he and the song! he lives in milan now, maybe one day I'll meet him by chance in a supermarket ehehe

[HaloedG]

Correction...he changed it legally due to lucid dreams about his career abd reinvent himself. I think I was thinking about Prince.

[MexicanHumanoid]

he's a lucid dreamer? and if so, where did you learn of this? it's a favorite hobby of mine and anyone who does it i admire and feel a kinship towards.

[zolf1988]

Why he changed his name into Sananda Maitreya?????

[HaloedG]

Copyright. I think his record company owned the stage name by contract. Unfortunate how the business side thinks of talent as slaves.

[vandalounge]

he's now married with one of the two girls in this video.

(the blond one!)

[Eagleaguilar]

id love to get into Sananda Maitreyas head.. you know the way he's all spiritual now... id love to see how he thinks..

[ernieonthedraw]

Speaking as an American... This nation sucks!We get have to pay for medical care, our leaders are vampries and we don't respect our artists. They have to go else where to have make a living.

[clearcaptain]

I saw him perform this in Chicao at the House of Blues about 7 or 8 years ago. I never knew the name of the song but the melody I swear has been in my head since. He is truly a brilliant lyricist/poet. He should tour more often. Talent like his is rare.

[ericcontroversy]

dude had to leave the country to get some respect..he is a star in europe...he got tired of record people telling him what type of music to play..

[xjaycazx]

ahh good old terence. great tune.

[newvagal]

Love the guy! I, too, was a teenager when Hardline came out...Great looks...great sound...Then, he disappeared.

A bit off topic but has he ever come out of the closet? I know he's married now, but...

I can't be the only who thinks he's gayer than Rosie O'Donnell on the Ellen Degeneres show with Lance Bass as the musical guest.

[dajingo]

Love this song and his energy.

[ddenniscoleman3]

I couldn't agree with you more whoopeeshite. The late 80s was indeed not a good time to start off as a debut artist. By the time the early 90s rolled in, many of the late 80s were either forgotten or their popularity started to decline. Examples include: Guns & Roses, Jody Watley, Taylor Dayne, etc.

[spasserbente]

damn!!! this song is boring!!

what went wrong with terence??

[kokoroLuv]

I love this song. It's been in my head all week. I just discovered Maitreya's newer work. I'm please that I did.

[revolutioneyz]

Got this CD Wild CArd -The Jokers Edition-One of his Best Ever.-Still A Fan.

[cllamont]

He should still be an internationally known star

[sonicadv27]

so true... i think that's way they are different... completly... special great tune... But why did he changed his name to Snanda Maitreya?

[bublegvsmefever]

what happened to the other video for this song?

[videolover61]

Nice song. BUT!!!! I will say that fame IS the death of most great artists, and it killed his artistry. This video is over the top. And another thing: there can be only one black-pop-artist-weirdo at a time. And the one that people could relate to best was Prince.

[sellby]

ok that statement was over the top there can be more then one black artist and its not for u to say

[videolover61]

Listen I said: there can be only one "black-pop-artist-weirdo" at a time. And Prince is the weird guy most people related to.

[ericcontroversy]

he not weird he just different...

[ddenniscoleman3]

Yea whatever videolover61! If that's how you feel, then that's too bad. Stay in the past and believe in that racial hype of White rockers being the only one who can act "stylish" and "weird". That's your problem, not mine.

[ddenniscoleman3]

This was the very barrier that Sananda wanted to fight at the beginning of his career videolover61. Its okay for to have a number of weird White rock artists gracing the charts and magazines, but yet it's not okay for a Black weird rock artist (other than Prince) to grace the top 40 and music magazines. This way of thinking videolover61 has its roots back to race records of the 1950s. As of right now 2008, even though hip hop is more popular than rock, there is still few Black rock artists.

[RIFF0RAFF]

that's a bullshit man :-)

Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, Lionel Richie, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson to name only a few.

So you are spreading out stupid and palpable lies.

[ddenniscoleman3]

I'm not spreading lies RIFF0RAFF. To make things clear, I'm not denying that there's are many Black Rock musicians (bands or solo acts), but only a handful of them are in the mainstream or are treated on an equal plateau are White Rock acts such as the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Elvis, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, Audioslave, the Beach Boys, U2, Twisted Sister, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Kiss, Van Halen, Motley Crue, Poison, Alice Cooper, etc, etc, etc.

[moharabatta]

super voice , a natural talent!

[pinkdedda]

DIVINA voice Terence,always a big e sensual artist♥

[StarMafiaboy70]

Sananda is GREAT !!!!!

[RIFF0RAFF]

for me it's best song of Sananda.

And those girls are ...och ;-)

[daglennb]

the greatest poet with the greatest voice !

[sundaybueno]

fab! -the less i say the more we all hear-

[ttdfanforlife]

Still loving you after all these years, your such a sexy man
