When I made this film back in '86, I tried to capture editorial spirit of Stevie Wonder's comment on the early 70's. Alas, it seems as pertinent today as it was then.
to me this song is about a kid from the south who moves up north and realizes that the same shit he experienced down south is pretty much what he'll experience in the city.
Nothing's changed much since then Stevie.Many black/brown and needy people still work 14 hour shifts just to get the necessities of life, educate their children and feed their families.The T-shirt has been worn by many and I can testify to that myself ( still wearing it! ).
@candyapu3 MATE, THE REASON THIS HASNT GOT 1,000,000 HITS IS BECAUSE THE NEW GENERATION THINKS THE PEOPLE ON X FACTOR, AMERICA,S GOT TALENT OR AUSTRALIA,S GOT TALENT ARE THE NEW ROCK GODS , NONE OF THEM COULD WRITE MUSIC OR PLAY A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT TO SAVE THEMSELVES. JUST WEAR SOMETHING OUTRAGIOUS ON STAGE AND YOUR NO1 ITS SO PATHETIC.
@kramyelir i really feel this song cause even tho i no longer live in poverty now, i did grow up in poverty here in Chicago at the former Cabrini Green housing projects in the 70's & 80's. i feel blessed now as a middle class government worker but i'll never forget where i came from. real talk.
i was born in 62 i remember all the strife this country was experiencing, this song exemplifies the grit and grind of the inner city. no i phones no i pods no laptops just real people struggling to exist. witout all these so called entitlements
God 1973 was a turbulent time. You had Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger who were too concerned with establishing relations with China to masquerade and make-up for their administration's unpopularity in the United States. Although times looked though (I was born in '91), there was A LOT of great music that came from this time!
@MPGaGa1991 that's an understatement. That time of Nixon was the start of the 'war on drugs.' The DEA is now probably of America's top 20 criminally funded governmental agencies. End the war on drugs, minimum. Free the non-violent prisoners/jailed ones. One last vote for me. Ron Paul. If not, I'm following Carlin's advice.
@nirvana2297 listen u should stop thinking that all blacks love watermelon because that is the stuipest thing i have ever heard now y don't u shut up and go get an education u really need to talk to someone about your problmes k. u r racest i hope u go to hell god will never for give u.
@hyphiegirl12 honestly that's an very ignorant statement. You can't even stereotype all emcess who hail from the South as "Southern rappers".
We have great musicians & bad artists just like any & every region. Where there's OutKast saying, "get up, get out & get something. How will you make it if you never even try?!", there's "Waka! waka! bow!"
Well...be it futile or not, I refuse to accept the notion that we give up w/o trying our best. That is tantamount to conceding defeat without so much as firing a bullet. You must be highly intelligent. It is through the intelligentsia of our race that we can produce new leaders. Forget Sharpton, Jackson, these preachers, or the NAACP because they can't relate/don't care. I'm only 23. I can still relate to these children. They'll listen as long as you can relate.
Problem is what can we do about it? I wouldn't even know where to attack this problem. Everyday positive male role models are almost non-existent for a great many young blacks here in the US. Many of these kids aren't that refractory when you can relate to them. I wish I had the wherewithall to be a leader myself, but I don't have the time right now in my life...
It never seem to amaze me on how ignorant people can be toward one another. Some of these comments are down right disrespectful. why is it that if someone says that they are ashamed of what their race or ignorant ancestors did to black people, they get disrespected? Instead of disrespecting try uplifting. We today as "black" people need to get out of the mentality of downing each other and other races. We need to be more like Dr King and show tollerence and respect to each others as human beings
I listened to Innervisions as a child. Despite the album's production almost thirty years prior, and my comparatively-privileged upbringing, this exposure profoundly affected my view of music.
This song exhibits Stevie's style and talent. Soft crackling ushers in tension lent by a heavy synth groove, backdropping an intimate detailing of an honest family's struggles. Stevie operates several instruments (ARP, percussion, piano, brass, ad infinitum), each contributing to the song's rich message.
This song is real unlike so many songs we have now. It used to scare my sister and I (the one w commentary in middle) when we were little, it makes you realize how things sometimes work in this world. But that's what I like about it
I have always liked this song, but I admit I don't know exactly what Wonder means by the phrase "Living for the City." Any feedback would be welcomed.
You know what ? To end racism in america, blacks and whites should return where they come from and let the country to the original native true american indians.
Your full of bullshit summbrezzy27, I dont know ANY southern white boys who are ashamed of who they are. ME thinks I smell a RAT- or maybe somebody trying to be slick, you know what I"m sayin "brotha" ?
her clothes are old, but never are they dirty...to find a job, it's like the haystack needle. cause where he lives they don't use colored people...i'd call stevie a genius, but that's too much of an under statement...
Hey, I’m a young artist, & I would really appreciate it if everyone would check out my cover of Michael Bublé’s “You’re Nobody till Somebody Loves You.” Although I’m knowledgeable that Michael Bublé was not the first to record the song, my version was inspired by his rendition, nonetheless. I promise you that you will not regret giving my version of the song a listen, & it will truly knock you off of your feet! So please listen & enjoy! Thanks!
I have listened to this song and so many times and over the years the one thing that I cant seem to find in lyrics and all that stuff is the word at 3:38 is he saying the fucking crowded city? or what is he saying.
An awesome video to an awesome classic jam by the great Stevie Wonder! I was in elemantary school when this one hit the airwaves, but I still loved it and still do! Great job!
@youandyamum yep that part was too intense for me. myy birth mom was crack head so iimagined her in that scene and the year it came out was when i was put in foster care
this song is deep. it reminds me of what my grandparents went thru when they migrated from Georgia to Chicago. it was rough growing up in Chicago back in the day but i love my city. Go Bulls! CHI-CITY!
@rachellegyx music is continuous and reinventing, obviously usher cant compare to stevie but the point of music is to be recreated and usher did a good job trying
@Summbrezzy27 You know I am deeply ashamed to be a southern white boy because the white folk mistreated the Afro American's horribly......I have always respected ALL races no matter what... thank God my Father raised me right.......POWER TO THE PEOPLE... RESPECT and HONOR.
@tenor175 I totally understand what you are saying and I totally respect you for that, I also respect all races even though I am black and white mixed. I just wish everyone had a point of view like us. God created us all equal
@lisaraye212 GET SOME THERAPY, GET ON MEDICATIONS YOU DON'T KNOW ME YOU STUPID CUNT! MIND YOUR OWN FUCKING BUSINESS!!!! YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED!!!!! DUMB ASS BITCH! GO FUCK YOURSELF!
@tenor175 Hi Summbrezzy27 you sound like the kind of southern white boy i would love to meet. I am a funky, whitty and fairly attractive afro carribean british girl who would love some southern lovin. We could get together some time, intertwine our bodies, and enjoy this sweet music from the 70's/early 80's. MsTreyb, Birmingham, England
@tenor175 wtf? stop being shellshocked. anyone who is still talking about race problems is part of the problems, go contribute to society with actions not some pitiful words

@Summbrezzy27 You know I am deeply ashamed to be a southern white boy because the white folk mistreated the Afro American's horribly......I have always respected ALL races no matter what... thank God my Father raised me right.......POWER TO THE PEOPLE... RESPECT and HONOR.

@tenor175 I totally understand what you are saying and I totally respect you for that, I also respect all races even though I am black and white mixed. I just wish everyone had a point of view like us. God created us all equal

@tenor175 Hi Summbrezzy27 you sound like the kind of southern white boy i would love to meet. I am a funky, whitty and fairly attractive afro carribean british girl who would love some southern lovin. We could get together some time, intertwine our bodies, and enjoy this sweet music from the 70's/early 80's. MsTreyb, Birmingham, England
