  • The people of this world is crazy mad. How can you explain the fact that this tune has less than 120,000 views? This song is one the greatest compositions ever in the history of modern music !

  • @tremayne3 I think its because I only uploaded about a year ago and WMG arn't too fond of people uploading their donald fagen material, it is in their ownership. If it was up say 5 years old I think over 1 million views for this.

  • Unfortunately it's no longer a beautiful world, it's more of a fcuked up one.

  • @zigzag909 it ain't the world which is fucked up, it's the people of world.

  • The song title -IGY- refers to the International Geophysical Year, 1957-58.

    Even in the 80's, people were looking back to an earlier time when things were "better".

    Today US politics are more corrupt than they've ever been in my lifetime, but **not** more corrupt than they've ever been. But don't whine, roll up your sleeves & get to work making it better. It will take your whole life to get it done, so better start now.

  • @twistylikethat it wasn't just better, it was a heck of a lot simpler and NOT near as much stupidity was as widespread as it is today, not only that, common sense also had a place in the role of life as well, unlike it has today where it has been entirely evaded. Just too bad that this song could not apply to the present and current society.

  • um...er...ah....what blackandtanful said!!!!

  • this is what you need

    good-hearted, beautifully crafted music

    the streak of black running

    through the lyrics

    might pass unnoticed

    just like a grey cloud

    that no one even bother to look for

    in a blue summer sky

  • This was recorded not long after Bob Marley died. In spite of the irony of the lyrics, each generation has always had musicians that sing to our higher aspirations. Thanks.

  • Where's my spandex jacket Donald? ¬¬

  • if only everyone was free

  • this is a great song,

    brazilian boy.
