Seal - A change is gonna come 2008

Seal - A change is gonna come 2008

Original by Sam Cook

I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I've been running ever since.

It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh, yes it is

It's been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky.

It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh yes it will.

Then I go to my brother
And I say: Brother oh help me please, yeh.
But he winds up knocking me
Back down on my knees.

There's been times
that I thought I wouldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Yes it will, oh I know

A change is gonna come, but I know

A change is gonna come
Hey
A change is gonna come, right now, oooooh

A change is gonna come, I say it now
hey-ey-ey-ey-ey, oh no
Oh, believe me
I say a change is gonna come

The problem with a lot of young singers today when they sing classic R&B is, they can duplicate the 'technique' of emotion. But they lack sincerity and substance. I do not believe what he is telling me in the song. Good voice. Yes. But when I hear Sam Cooke sing this, I believe what he tells me in the lyric is true from his depth. He does not need to rely on his technique to convince me. He sings from his depth, and probably from his personal experience. there's the difference!

@MrBEB123 Its more than narrow minded.Its illogical and unscientific. The human race relies on genetic diversity to survive. And all humans are evidently 'mixed' throughout th epassages of time. These are unescapable facts and your 'race mixing' fears are based on mis-education and simple fear.

@LB9997 é que ele canta com o coração,e com sua emoção

@LB9997 Try getting your ass beat by your father every single day from the age of 6-15 years old like Seal was beaten by his father and lets see if you can sing this song like you had some experience with struggle.

[LB9997]

Yes. Good singer. I have heard some of his work and nice work it is. But When you talk about somebody like Sam Cook, we're talking about another time, when black men had a completely different struggle. I think Sam was singing from some experience. i don't think Seal had to endure some of the pain Sam did.
