[RhiannLovesMCR]

My Year 5 Teacher Used to play this, I Loved it :D

[nuntheknee7]

what language is she singing in at 2:00 ?

its so beautiful, i feel like i understand exactly what shes saying.

[LMK22]

Such a beautiful song!

[wargasm58]

This song made me tearfull when i first heard this, still chokes me up, such an epic instant all time classic!

[Wip3ou7]

Wow I haven't seen this in a long time. I was on the animation team that produced this video in Tampa, FL. It was an awesome experience and I'm glad it's still around :)

[4herotv]

@Wip3ou7 Humouring The Fates, we worked hard convincing the record label to let you guys do the video, job well done...are you still doing animation or music videos?

[CitizenKang]

@Wip3ou7 Great video! Thank you so much!

[volfins]

Geniální pecka, nostalgie jako kráva...

[kubimag]

@volfins A na vinylu jsou krásně slyšet všechny ty nástroje, který tam jsou. To je teprve paráda. :-)

[spicyhotone]

this has to be the the best build up to a chorus I have heard it evokes so much emotions ,and hair standing moments .

[daze2525]

sounds like "Modern Appliances" by ove Over Dali (written in 1974 before Minnie Ripperton's?)

[MandolinMan0001]

Bailey's Ad! :D

[4ShoAm]

This song is marvellous and I can barely get it out of my head. I heard the chorus on Top Gear years ago and looked for it ever since.

[roflman79]

How can anyone dislike this

[rattap86]

33 guys f*+@

[noexittoexist]

Perhaps she wouldlike a littke Hrl\\\\el?

[superphubu]

Gorgeous bit of music. Pure joy to listen to.

[vividimaginer]

epic, just phenomenal. thank you for all the wonderful tunes throughout the years, big love.

[TheMrCJist]

You people are brilliant. You'd never think that tracks like this and your earlier D&B works were by the same people. Also, I like most of them, which is the most important thing. Kudos for the Lifestyles remix album too, discovered a few classics from that one.

[diogo20039]

This song is perfection... Brillant

[blayzella]

i bought this tune on vinyl and always used it as my last track when i used to dj.

Still brings tears to my eyes its so glorious!

[Schnallt]

its like, a female version of the Gorillaz

[AZERTYUI880]

boas vibraçoes!

[Cs82Hun]

sooo nothing special..

[dogstar75]

at 3:15 is that an animated cameo of minnie ripperton? nicely done if it is?

[dogstar75]

@dogstar75

i meant 3:17

[4herotv]

@dogstar75 since 2001 you may be the 1st to actually notice that....yes!

[dogstar75]

@4herotv

cool...yay me, :)

[davidsbadjams]

I love this. I'm subscribing to your channel based on this track alone.

[Alois76]

This track makes me love the world.

[mikeyglennon]

@Alois76 i hear that 

[OrlyDudeGuy]

Neo Soul epicness

[mixn44]

I Dont think they did this tune on an Atari,Peace+Love. 4 Hero, Big Up Your Status.

[4herotv]

@mixn44 it started life on an Atari before making it's way to 2inch tape.

[Colombiani]

what a super super nice song!!!

[bigmac9aac]

Brought me through some great and hard times, during the summer of 2001 in Holland. Why can't all modern music be simple, but evocative and sample free like this?

Release more of these please!

[SuperPhg]

27 people don't know what music is!

[benerban]

I love the animé representations of the musicians!

[sledgehead2000]

big up 4hero this is a great version .wicked production.

[notcrazyjustevil]

oh nvm, i didn't read the description.. it was minnie ripperton...xD

[notcrazyjustevil]

wait, who's the original? minne ripperton or 4hero?

[janeyclarkedotcom]

first heard this on Gilles Peterson so long ago it's so unique

[RichieCarvaliho]

What a track. Uplifting and joyous

[riggs24]

Effing good tune/music!

[reacey]

why cut out the end u cunt

[michiveritas]

Beautiful and sublime!!!

[jeansaddict]

i hate it.

[EasyAndy1001]

just do not see the point in this version at all.

[goldjoke13]

Been looking for this song for years, thanking you so kindly. Makes me smile everytime I hear it. F@@king awsome song

[FlamingoPudding]

I've had the melody of the chorus in my head for over 5 years after hearing it on German television. Thanks to Midomi.com I can finally thank 4hero for the great amounts of time I spent humming that brilliant and powerful melody.

[berserkerx7]

Heard it first on an episode of Top Gear.

Such a beautiful and euphoric song and production.

[hattchitharry]

bein lookin lookin for this song for 8 years thanks :D:D:D:D

[TheEstypesty]

lurve this song!!! A proper summer song, gives me goosebumps everytime!!

[derhias1]

One of the greatest songs ever.

[StevenFmusic]

Normally i hate music video's like these.. But this song really suites it!

[Ripleyclone8]

I love this video and cover, but it doesnt touch the original...

[cuba71]

very grat song!

[Spaceghost666]

one more person giving you props

[Forellenfotze]

sounds almost exactly like minnie, amazing..

[shmeepea]

i bloody love this song. x

[Samilivich]

this song is what cover should be a attempt to remake something already great, tweak it clean it up and make it a pure masterpiece. inspirational music at its best.

[MrHarpDhami]

Excellent song



[Shanethpain1]

originally by Minnie Riperton.. Joy

[bokilimoj]

Great morning song! :D

[Romyp1]

That song is beautiful in every way possible.

[trojanluck88]

A good remake, at least as good as anyone could cover Minnie Riperton, but noone could ever completly hit those background notes, as much as I love Mariah and Lisa F. there will never be but one "Minnie"....

[liamellis11]

Genius!!!

[melv1995]

"Will somebody wear me to the fair, take me roaming sings the lonely flower"

"Will a child find me by the stream, ain't it lovely, in the sun it showers"

that's what i heard anyway. does anyone know where to get all the lyrics?

[pivimpalove]

かっこいい！

[ApcFlippylover]

Strange but beautiful

[dancing0being]

Great album!!

[silkcutable]

powerful brass ,great tune ,very moody. the original was a bit crazy,tidy job from 4hero

[dancing0being]

@silkcutable

The original was super great. Nice this too.

[tallrog]

Just stumbled across this listening to a Powercut mix on Solid Steel Radio...

... absolutely love it....

Is this the same 4 Hero that did "Mr Kirk's Nightmare".. they are different right... "4Hero" and "4 Hero"...

[4herotv]

@tallrog thats us, 1 and the same

[kirkydman]

@tallrog no, its the same ones

[fishy5585]

a.s.t.o.n.i.s.h.i.n.g

never come across such a immense cocktail of sounds that flows as beautifully as this creating patterns is awesome, a far cry from mr kirks nightmare

excellent works all round

[bloodnokian]

Love this to pieces, beautiful groove and perfect singing.

[vermintude]

4 hero are king of the dex, bro - remember classics like "Cookin' up yer brain"?

[stickytoffee25]

how do you post on here please

[astribus1]

excelenteeeee!

[rsotol28]

where i found the extended version of the video, because the original single is more extended

[ajnatheiconoclast]

This is an old Minnie Riperton remake! Great Job!

[alienmahar]

It's the only video I've ever seen on MTV from 4hero! Tight as hell.

[enochisreal]

wow...my favorite UK act has an animated video. i absolultely love it. i hate that i just found it,but am glad that i did. thasswhassreallyup.

[Rhiannapencil]

this song is weird

[theredseventhousand]

And the Gods wept. . . .

[james260678]

minnie riperton did the original, what a great song

[Neil219]

Where or what is this song from?

[vertisvirtuoso]

Amen to that!

totally!

[Antipara]

Epically Legendary

[jifkitchen]

incredible animtation. and a credit toy uo for puting it up. been long finding it!

[snachquat]

Makes me want to stroke myself

[quethetee]

This is fantastic on all levels.

[geoforn]

Epic song, epic video. I really like 4hero's instrumentation.

[CharlieSmigz]

HUGE track, gives Minnie's version a run for it's money.

[JeremyJuno]

greatness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gwej]

i luv this song soooooooooooooooooo muchhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

[OneNeverEnds]

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Like Zero 7 meets a broadway musical. Beautiful arrangements and vocals. And this video is great...very touching, especially when you listen to the lyrics.

[dabounca]

Such a fuckin beautiful song

[MarcocassLA]

She really channels Minnie.  Beautiful.

[pitcalco]

I agree. I could hardly tell the difference.

[freudastaire]

MINNIE RIPPERTON original

[pjkolo]

Accidently downloaded this track. What a great little surprise it was. Heady vocals and thundering choir really brought this one alive.

[TheRobstomp]

the chorus with the choir is just SOARING. it's fantastic.

[ezoth]

this songe moves me everytime i hear it . and the clip makes it even more epic

i could not live without this song anymore ....

[LadyMuramasa]

Woah, I had a hard time determining if it was Minnie or not. But there are certain notes Carina couldn't hit like Minnie. But damn is she ever exact on doing the cover vocals. Had me fooled for a minute.

[MsDoors47]

mmm creo que la cancion mm una parte de la cancion mm salio en un comercial de baileys esta chida!!! llevaba 4 años buscandola es enserio jeje

[alexadanbenlloch]

dioos esta cancion!!!!

maravillosa, madre mia, aparte se puso para un anuncio de H&M no?

[homerizgod]

esta cancion y video son demasiado maravillosos

[TheJohns1984]

I have decided i want this song at my funeral. I love it so much

[jackkjack]

do die then

[starncat]

@jackkjack haha

[TheRobstomp]

lol ouch... harsh?

[xpunkxflip]

i appreciate you sampling this and giving it your own kick 4hero

[4herotv]

no samples here.

[wargasm58]

@4herotv Great album "Creating Patterns'' bought it in 2001, this track is epic, but i like them all, the first one on there, "Conceptions" is also captivating =)

[BlindBlannche]

@4herotv nice cover ya got here 4hero

[nicholasbrunello]

@4herotv Except for that teeny tiny Minnie Riperton part.

[pininprestatyn]

I'll buy extensions if you spill the beans!! it's been yonks since this was released! Come on Mark, Dennis, What's the translation? x

[pininprestatyn]

Love you 4hero! but you gotta break down the french bit in the middle. come on, don't be shy!! xx

[Arcterion]

Wonderful song. :) Very nice change from the usual metal and industrial stuff I listen to.

[MrJoeBrasil]

It's got the best chorus ever!

[jazman49]

The late, great Charles Stepney is the composer and original arranger of this song

[4herotv]

as it says in the comments, anyone who bought the 12" or CD will notice this was a tribute to both Charles & Minnie:

cover version of the classic by Minnie Ripperton, produced by Charles Stepney.

[miss2tone]

Its is an epic song and theres something very emotional about that video.

[sagittariusrising74]

an Original Minnie Riperton Gem...

4hero did her justice, this is a beautiful cover, the young woman singing this almost sounds like her...very nice.

[remhq2]

it´s about the amapola, very nice :)

[PharmYardDog]

has anyone got the 4hero come speak to me remix elisia.. can you post it please

[TheCaligraphist]

That's not Minnie singing on this version.

[4herotv]

featuring Carina Andersson on lead vocals.

[LINICO1985]

una obra de arte de minnie ripperton, claro de este grupo

[LINICO1985]

Who is the arranger of this gem, just a work of art in this genre

[franjasaa]

bravo!!!

[erictronix]

So i repeat my question, what does the choir sing? In the verse that is.

[Lillianu156]

If you try googling it you can find the lyrics. It's not hard, use your common sense.

[4herotv]

good luck with that, if you find all the lyrics let us know please.

[BBmatic]

@4herotv

LOL!

[plus160]

@4herotv sing365DOTcom/music/lyric.nsf/­Les-Fleur-lyrics-Minnie-Ripert­on/F80B2B7C9481522C48256A16002­1100E

[tullyDT]

Ring all the bells sing and tell the people that be everywhere that the flower has come

Light up the sky with your prayers of gladness and rejoice for the darkness is gone

Throw off your fears let your heart beat freely at the sign that a new time is born

[erictronix]

But in the first verse the choir responds to the leading vocals. The lead sings: "Will somebody wear me to the fair", and the choir responds like what? "----------------- sings the lonely flower" and when the lead has sung: "Will a child find me by a stream," the choir sings "---------------- shower" or something like that.

[erictronix]

What does the choir sing?

[skimpyyields]

Ring all the bells sing and tell the people that be everywhere that the flower has come

Light up the sky with your prayers of gladness and rejoice for the darkness is gone

Throw off your fears let your heart beat freely at the sign that a new time is born

[stevenadler]

the singer. is she Swedish?

[sHesOSmiLEy]

no she's American Minnie Ripperton

[4herotv]

@stevenadler yes, Carina Andersson who sung this cover version is from Sweden.

[MrMilkyman88]

Epic song. Unbelievably beautiful. Could probably drag anyone out of a mood/place.

[MinistryofWeed]

abit different from mr kirk

[DJCW]

lol. jus listen to tracks ever since mr.kirks nightmare 1990, these guys really have evolved.

Props to 4Hero.

[masterassasn]

i am BUZZING like a bee on crack pollen that is one epic song!!

[EasyAndy1001]

video is the best thing about it in my opinion, i like this song cos it is a VERY FAITHFUL copy of the original - i dont understand why they did that though? would have been interesting to hear an interpretation of it rather than a note for note copy

[antonyjq]

Not often is a classic improved upon - but wow. Fantastic. (Pity about the video). Album great too.

[Ldnzoo]

Legends. Big up the dollis hill massive. NW skeeen!!

[DanielBowden1975]

Minnie R.I.P.

[JohnnyKwango]

This song does my tits in. Why is it in so many friggin tv commercials? Why do they always use the same section? You only ever hear the same bit, the annoying bit! The rest of the song's actually not bad but I hate the bit they always use on the tellybox.

[vollsticks]

This song encapsulates all that is sweet and good about humanity.

[tomcrowmike]

It makes me feel in love

[xrammyx]

it makes me feel in love too.... with you.

[pkearne]

Oh god

[iudwmtdu]

@vollsticks.....Very well said..

[mackodno]

I love baileys! lol

[Siggiezzzz]

Luuuuving this song :)

[BBmatic]

Big up Dego... and all original co-opistas

[kostekmen]

awesome song!

[komaton]

i've bought the record a couple of years ago, i've only play it one time on a party and all the people moved like butterfly's felt in love

[mgdification]

My favorite record ever.

[swt32567]

This is a very good rendition. Carina sounds very much like Minnie Riperton here on this one. Excelente!!!!!!!!!! Viva Carina Anderson!!! Viva Les Fleurs!!!!!!

God Bless Minnie Riperton & 4-Ever shall she Rest In Peace. We miss you Minnie.

[JailbirdJay]

word up... same thoughts here... damn good rendtion... really hard to find a difference until 1:40 when the horns start to blow in... but all in all really beautiful, just like the original (and of course the rendition from ramsey lewis)

peez, jay

[timdehaan1977]

This is my wake up call every day... Very relaxing...

[jamminjuk]

classic

[scaffairl]

I listen to this song almost daily on the way to work.

They should prescribe this on the NHS, does wonders for stress. Thank you 4hero.

[JBonthebase]

I'm Sending this to my Niece You see Her name is Fleur She is Seven! So She Doesn't know How Great Your  Tunes Are yet!...Won't Take Long for her to Realise after this Introduction . Lots Of Love Peace and Sunshine (LoLPaS)to all!

[janebodega]

great song but isn't that minnie riperton on vocals?

[slvgdvg]

well she is tragically deceased, so it would be some feat! I mean, how could she do that post modem?

some tech jokes here. i'm so good

[mistaben2k]

One listen and you'll be back !

[hendrix22310030]
