  • Dedicate to Stephen Lawrence's friends and family.I salute his mother's fight for justice.

  • a pleasure

    

  • This is such a good song I'm singing it in a band

  • though i like this song (and yes i "liked" it) i prefer the Kenny Rogers version personally

  • I like this song

  • Awwwwwwwr love This song 💙 🎶🎵🌹

  • Pretty good song from someone who degrades himself by jamming another man's dick down his throat. When will the singer release himself from the self-imposed prison and slavery of homosexuality? Being unable to romantically love someone of the opposite sex is a handicap to overcome, not celebrate.

  • @PlumGurly Take your homophobia elsewhere and appreciate a good song. Grow up.

  • It's not only the oppression against men, imho but remember the lyrics in every form of oppression and they will apply.

  • I'm not gay and I'm not Black. But I have nothing but admiration for this guy, he stood up for what he believed in and that deserves respect.

  • i agree, there is something inside

  • @TheMagicEast - Which end? The throat or the bum?

  • I used to listen to this from a recorded cassette back in the day..Never seen a picture of who sung it. Thought this guy was white all these years. Glad youtube came along.

  • @ihatecountry - You thought he was white? The song is clearly about slavery and oppression, and can't you hear the soulful tones in there?

  • @PlumGurly It's not about slavery, unless, and you can defend that one, Apartheid was slavery. He wrote this song after seeing on television how a white soldier was shooting black children in South Africa in 1985.He decided to write a song about it. The beauty is, that the lyrics apply for every kind of oppression, in politics, in relationships, at work, when you're bullied at school, He found the words against every kind of oppression.

  • Love this song! Back when music was music!

  • @Lem0517 I fully agree mate, back music was actually music not just computers it's a voice!;))

  • Never heard this song before until someone posted a tribute to Occupy Oakland and the U.S. on You Tube. Amazing song. It applies to all who are oppressed, denied that rights to exist as human beings on this earth. It can apply to every one of us. Thank you Mr. Siffre; this will become my own personal theme song.

  • By the way ... my fav song is 'Pretty Little Girl In A Blue Dress'

  • Saw Labi in Hastings, UK, in about 1968 or 69... small affair in a hall... he was unbelievably good - have loved his voice ever since.

    God Bless you Labi.

  • dj the words speak 4 themselves something inside so strong put the wrongs rite an start again we get over hurt we never get over losing a child ok im speaking frm experence

  • Many years ago, I had to change the song and write my own similar one in the English class. I could've changed it but It was impossible to change an amazing song like this. Eventually I've got F. :D

  • 22CB0CE2 Add My BB people :)

  • Although Apartied & slavery are over in South Africa & the Western world, please do not forget the plight of the Palestinian people enslaved by the Jews. There is a new holocaust going on in Palestine. This song applies to them now. Please listen to anothet song, called "Freedom for Palestine"

    Thanks.

  • @Stranger935 I don't think its neccesarily a holocaust and they arent enslaved by the Jewish people. However i wish they could share their holy land equally and fairly with peace as there is no point in fighting. Israel needs to realise it cant forever be aJewish only state.

  • this song touches my heart and carms me down every time

  • I used to think this was a song about intestinal gas.

  • this song gives me goosebumps! from our little corner of the world, to the rest of the globe...peace love and solidarity! :)

  • gotta love labi

  • listen to those lirycs! it aplies to all of us! the governments of the world denie us our true freedom,even in a democracy ther's no real freedom,the governments only work for the rich! i long for the day everybody sees this,i may not live to see it! but i hope that day may come! we are all slaves of money! people are enslaved to make money for the rich and we want money to buy unnescacary things to make us feel alive! while life is so much more than posesions!

  • Love you so much tom RIP x

  • When I was a child, I had a toy, a T-Rex which scream when you press the button, thanks Labi for remember me that noise at 3:50 !

  • gavin and stacey brought me hear :D :P

  • wrong craig, very wrong, if you read below you will see that i dont care for any football team. Real issues in the world concern me more like poverty, racism, pointless wars and famine. So right back at you buddy..nice one!

  • good comeback MrBoab 1888 you fight a good corner...lol.

  • lv this

  • love this song played it when i was going through a divorce

  • Love this song :-)

  • your missing the point..i dont care to much for any football team or players as they are overpaid arrogant twats...im talking about using that song as an excuse to have a go at your fellow human beings..when its actually a song about human unity..no matter what colour or religon you are...i just slagged of your league coz i knew it would get a reaction from someone like yourself whos happy too line the pockets of footballers who actually dont give a shite about you..lol

  • @rayring38

    you r a cock

  • rangers and celtic..give us a break will you...a 2 team league..one or the other winning it season in season out ..how boring..you lot are easliy pleased ..lmao!

  • @rayring38 same can be said for the Premiership... same two teams winning every year.

    and we ARE pleased... that you have taken time out of your day to comment on our "shite" league ;)

  • @rayring38 i Guess you are a fan of the epl. A league where it is either man utd or chelsea winning it season, in season out. Nice one.

  • how can anyone make this song about 2 shite football teams...take the song for what it is..a powerful song about human rights..about fighting for freedom..standing up against oppression..get a life and keep your football crap to the sports websites!

  • @rayring38 its not about celtic or Rangers no. Its about how Neil Lennon was being targeted for sectarian abuse. HUMAN RIGHTS, FIGHTING FOR HIS FREEDOM. STANDING UP AGAINST OPPRESSION. All these applied to Neil Lennon last season. He was targeted with bombs in the post etc. So yea. Take your bitching elsewhere.

  • @MACKINNON10 Neil was targeted by a couple of thick nutters because he is a trouble making horses arse. Nothing to do with rights or freedom. You are abusing a lovely song attaching him to it.

  • rangers fc, obessed since 1888

    FUCK THE HUNS!

  • @DesireToPushEast Phony holocaust??? Are you on drugs? If you aren't you should be, retard.

  • Who is Neil Lennon and what has he got to do with this fantastic song? Wankers!

  • @davindo91 He is a ginger football ( soccer if your american ) manager. And I haven't got a clue why he is associated with this song :S

  • @crgMCF To show support as people were sending him death threats, bullets and bombs in his post all because of his relegion.

  • what's it got to do with neil lennon it's just a song of stength x

  • 25 people misclicked the like buttom out of sheer excitement

  • Leave religion at the turnstile, it has no place in the game. Your club's 'heritage' is no excuse.

  • hail hail lenny our bhoy

  • It's a sad commentary on Scottish society when this beautiful, powerful song is being sung for a football manager.

    Neil Lennon, there is something inside so strong.

  • Awesome!

  • goose pimples everytime i listen this song

  • All these years later and it still sounds great and unfortunately still relevant.

  • Brilliant I love it :)

  • this song is so moving, its got to be one of my favs

  • iv never met my real dad... but when my step dad came in my life this is the song he used to listen to all the time it reminds me off him so much, this song touches me everytime i listen to it i just want to cry because my step dad doesnt want anything to do with me anymore and i love him so much it hurts he means the world to me he was there for me when i needed him now he hates me and im so sorry i ever hurted you, i love you dad :'(

  • @djmacworth get in touch with him.that is so touching......

  • @djmacworth try send him a card send him a letter and ultimnately jesus is the repairer of broken bridges

    i pray that he gives you peace on every side

  • @djmacworth That is SO sad - you must tell your dad how you feel

  • @djmacworth I'm so sorry that you are going through this pain. I have the opposite but still similar problem. My children won't speak to me. They won't meet me and they won't answer my e-mails. They act like I don't exist. Their father and I are divorcing and they live with him and have obviously taken his side. The pain is excruciating. Are you sure your step-father hates you? Maybe he doesn't realise how important he is/was to you. I wish you well. You are not alone in the world.

  • @djmacworth chin up my dear. smiles and healing energies to all concerned!

  • I can't hear this without crying from deep within. Thank you Labi.

    The hidden truth will blind you, if you cannot SEE!!!!!!!!

  • 24 people have no heart and soul!!!! Just close your eyes and listen to the words, Not intelligent enough to understand eh?. Nothing good to say then don't bother.

  • @sigod2 Did That All Last Night <3

  • @TheAintaineElliott ( Don't understand <3)? sorry
