i watched him live in nottingham last tuesday, he was incredible, i also got the chance to meet Obaro (Ghostpoet) and the band members. can't say I've ever met a more humble and appreciative artist. Thank god musicians like this exist!
This song is helping me cope with the abundance of work I have piled up at college and the stress associated with it. I'm even using the song in a project so that my tutors listen to it and perhaps understand exactly where I'm coming from. Brilliant song.
just too DEEP this is REAL life. no more no less. and for this guy to explain it so beautifully, well makes you wanna live on, fight on through the toughest battles that life delivers on a daily basis. wisdom & heart, the things great music is made from..
Hi, i'm a 17 year old singer/songwriter falling under the genre - 'Urban-Progressive-Folk'...if you have a moment, would really appreciate a listen to my new acoustic live video of one of my songs 'Her Autumn Son'. On my YOUTUBE PAGE! For some Folk/RAP! Cheers X
In some strange way this one reminds me with music line and atmosphere Wyclef Jean Gone Till November and Mos Def Umi Says with conveyance and overall positive feeling.
It's also humorous how hipster know-it-all's like yourself try and create even more of a divide. Do everyone a favour, your pretentious comments are not needed.
@TheDubJunction Do yourself a favour and understand a comment before you reply? I'm trying to say it's not all about being any kind of class, it's just good music. It's people like you, who are the problem.
@BoardroomChaosTheory who's been saying anything about class? Almost all the comments apart from yours are simply expressing how much they enjoy Ghostpoet's music. I'm not attacking you or anything, I just wasn't aware that class was an issue amongst his fans
What a wonderfully creative piece of work and so - of it's time. The video is superb - simple yet thought provoking. The song and the video illustrates in a very subtle way the real problems some young people can have living in the bleakest of urban Britain.
This is just.. How can i explain it. This is great. He has so different style that it's freaking great. I thought that I really know what is good music. But now I know really meaning of good music.
wow— couldn't go further to undermine the gangsta image. no cracks at the law, no besomed birds swiping their derrières up & down his trouser leg— i could possibly get into this...
so much respect for this man, wish there were more rappers big enough to talk the truth rather than the general bullshit which comes out most rappers arses.
Saw him last night in Bristol, Sneaked past security to see him at a sold out show and then met him before the show to pay him the money that I would have paid the door. Great performance, and a true poet! A true influence to battle a young failing culture of illiterate thugs and young mothers. Peace ghostpoet and thanks for the photo. :)
I may not be into rap and stuff any more but I like this purely because of the lyrics. They seem perfect for today's times. Plus, the female vocal part is something I say to myself every day: "I just wanna live life and survive it."
@aelkg What I mean is, i wanna get through life's tough times and get to where I want to be. I keep the chorus lines in mind whenever I need hope. See what I mean?
I've never ever commented on you tube before but i had to for this, you are unreal man, seriously good, and anyone who hasn't heard you is seriously missing out on what a musical orgasm this is
its good to finally hear a philosophical english rapper, i feel content shutting me eye's to this and listening it 'sa calming tune, then i open then up and hope i get carried home
this is different
