I grew up with Philip Baileys daughter and every time I went to their house Philip was always a gentleman and a generous man to everyone, always taking all us kids out and giving us positive guidance in a mentor way. God bless him for the amazing man he is and the talents he shared and continues to share with us all!
tickytock85 hello! To be honest as a young kid living in the San Fernando Valley in the good ol’ 80’s and 90’s, I had no idea how famous he was. His daughter was my friend and still is, she is and always has been super down to earth. His sons were also very grounded, kind, religious and very respectful. Philip never acted like a “ Super Celebrity” he always showed us by example how to be respectful, enjoy various cultures and different kinds of food and most of all he talked to us about life events & made sure he addressed even the most controversial issues as mentor & life coach! He wanted his kids and the kids they hung around with to be prepared for life & thus succeed academically & professionally! Amazing man!
This was the song my hubby sing fo me wen i was 15 after 43 years together he passed away 3 january 2024 i listen this morning to this song and it bring tears
@ReturnoftheBrotha:No I'm not. I grew up listening to both artists--and both are equally good. That's my opinion and you don't have to agree with it. th-cam.com/video/nREV8bQJ1MA/w-d-xo.html
This is my parents' song. We played it to my mom on her deathbed. She faintly smiled. Could barely listen to this after she passed. But somehow I know that wherever she might be, she cherishes this song and the love she shared with my father. Miss you everyday, mum!
Philip Bailey's voice is surreal. The costumes, the vocal ranges, the showmanship ,the dedication to the performance...Now that is worth spending money on!!! My sister introduced me to this group and many more groups of that era. She left me with a beautiful gift , so when I hear this group my heart flutters with love and memories of our childhood. I love you Genia!!!
This teenage boy that lives around the corner from me came over to my brother one day and asked him to give him my brother's phone because he always hears my brother playing all kinds of music so he gave him the phone and he put this song on and walked away we asked him how does he know that song and he said my mom plays it and that's how we will keep this music alive playing these songs for our kids
Growing up as teenagers in South Africa in the 70's and through the struggle years, my brother and I collected all their albums from "Head to the sky" all the way up to their CD and DVD collections. In 2010, when my brother died, his last request was that no hymns be sung at his funeral only EWF's music. His final send song off was Fantasy. Thank you for 4 decades of amazing music and memories!!!!
Wow wow wow... May he rest in peace bud. Also from SA. My mom has made me love this music to the core. I'm grateful she is still around to enjoy it with
Monique Harris yes. sister. i also. grew. up. during. this. time. when. music. not. only. was. real. but. it. was meaningfuel. haveing real. love. and most of all soul!!! some of. these. so called. singer. have no soul. today. where is the love? anthony. muhammad.
Dude playing the saxophone is fire!!!!!!!!!!!!! Philip Bailey voice is a beautiful instrument; blown away by this entire band they are out of this world!!!!!!
I'd be honored if some EWF fans would give a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performance of SEPTEMBER on my YT channel in tribute to the Mighty Maurice White. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and RESPECT to the legends.

Born in ‘92 and I must say, all I listen to is oldies and this is my favorite Earth, Wind And Fire song ❤️ Thanks to my mom, aunts and uncles for playing classics like this and putting me onto great music as a youngin!!!!
Never heard this version before .... I'm alone in my room, and when the song appeared to finish, and Phillip was improvising - and then breaks into the famous "Do-a-weeeee-ooh-ee-ooh!" ... I got out of my chair and clapped, before the audience in the video did. And I know this song very well - but it's a different live version where he does a Q & A with the sax player ("he plays so beautiful! Don't you agree?") ... as a teenage trumpet player, I jammed along to this song so hard, especially the Q & A, that I was sure to eventually turn professional. Which I did.
The last song me and dad sang before he passed away. I miss the dad and daughter duets around soul music. Forever singing this Earth Wind Fire 🎂 I love u Daddy O. Always.
My dad added this song to his spotify playlist back in 2018 and I told him loved this song. He always loved Earth, Wind, and Fire. He died in 2020. I will treasure his memory forever by listening to his favorite songs. I was greatly influenced by his music. 🤍
It is actually a sad song about a one night stand,which can be translated into a, loved one, wife,girl friend,who goes out and cheats on thier mate,that's why the song fits into so many people's life.one of my favorite songs of l.all time....rip white ❤
phil bailey's falsetto is a God's gift to humanity 💘 I tried to buy into the doctrine that secular singers worship Satan but damn the dude be giving me eargasm all the time. I praise Jesus for him 🙌
There’s really not many bands that can compare to this group of musicians who have created a collection of timeless great music. The arrangement, the pairing of instruments to vocals it’s just perfection.
Phillip has one the purest upper register and falsetto voices out there. I remember having the record this song was on, the live version is way more of a vocal masterpiece!!
Don Myrick on alto sax was my highschool classmate and was wonderful then and is still wonderful. Englewood Class of '58 is still in mourning for him. We were so happy to see his talents were utilized with such a wonderful talented group as Earth, Wind and Fire.
...Which makes the circumstances surrounding his death all the more tragic. For those who don't know, he was killed by overzealous police at his own residence.
I'm a preacher and I'm still listening to this-- one if my very favorites-- I'm still in n love with our old school Beautiful songs!!! EWF-- the best!!!
SWEET.....SWEET SONG. 1977, where are you???? MR PHILIP BAILEY lead vocals......Leaves you with your mouth hanging open wondering what you just heard. This band was truly amazing. Seeing them Live was a true gift. Thank you EWF -
I am 17 And i feel so blessed to be able to watch the Earth Wind & Fire Verzuz Isley Brothers. Friends and Family call me old head and old soul but I take it as a compliment because music of this time were straight masterpieces
High school dances late 70s - life was sweet. When I was maybe 11, I’d sneak into my big sister’s room to play her albums on her turntable. EWF, Doobies, Commodores, Eagles, Fleetwood Mac....that era is who I am and I’m thankful for that.
Very simply put, one of the greatest to pick up a mic. The sounds that emanate from this man’s vocal ability is astonishing. An all-time great and classic.
+David Richardson Maurice White and this magnificent group of artists will live forever in the collective souls of good people. I know Maurice is dancing and singing up above...
Just saw EWF May 2022 in concert. So great to see three of the founding members still giving it their all! Phillip is still amazing and Verdine kept that bass line going strong! Thanks for all the wonderful memories in my “growing up” years back in the 70’s and beyond ❤️🔥
I took my son to see Earth Wind and Fire after being cancelled twice because of Covid. I love EWF and I relive the best days of my life with their music. My son remembers me playing their music when he was growing up and I was surprised how much he loves their music. Philip Bailey is a Jewel from Denver.❤
I played Alto Sax 🎷 mid-late 70's I would play this by ear as it played on the radio....EWF has such an extensive Catalogue of Music and great hits 🎶🎶🎶
This is really and truly the national anthem of soul music! Can someone tell me if I am correct when I say that the glory days of soul music is gone forever.. They just don't make music like this anymore...Thanks EW&F for all that you have done for us musically! RIP Maurice White.... God Bless....
There are many reasons why Earth Wind & Fire have been at the top of the musical genre for over 40yrs, with beautiful harmonious songs like this which really pushes vocalist Philip Bailey high falsetto chords to its limits, track written by main man & the inspirational Maurice White, Charles Stepney & Phillip Bailey, feel the vibe of their live shows
I feel so fortunate to have grown up in this era and got to experience and see and feel the magic of EWF and other truly transcendent bands of this era. when I heard Marice White passed to the other side, I cried like a baby. so many memories of my youth growing up in Chicago and how EFW was such an influence on me and my peers flashed in my mind and I was temporarily overwhelmed. Rest in Peace Maurice White.
Agreed. Grew up as a child listening to this being played by my two older sisters. My comfort music. My children now listen to this along with the other greats. And that is why this music will never die.
My father is a musician, growing up in the Caribbean, this is the music I grew up on. My sister and I were named after singers, I too feel fortunate to have been exposed to this. This generation missed out. My one wish was to attend a concert with my dad, sadly Maurice White passed. Love me some EWF.
Brings back hope for me. If only for one night 🥰 and hugging and holding you tight just for one night. Oh baby. Let me love you just for one more night.
Usher hit the nail on the head in an interview when he said how much women love when a man sings in falsetto! I can't explain it, but for the most part it's so true! R.i.p Maurice white. Earth wind and fire..so awesome...Sigh..
I'm 29yo and never been tired of listening to EWF music. It plays over and over everyday but still I get the same kind of feeling. Oh! GOD thanks for giving the world with music legends like EWF! I love Philip Bailey. Maurice White and the rest of the band, I got a taste of heaven everytime I hear your music :)
Didn't matter how hard you were back in the day, (gangster, cholo, lowrider, black, brown,, and any other) once this song started everyone would just chill and take it in or grab their girl to dance. You could cruise down the blocks just blasting it as loud as you could and not one person would complain, not one, ever. That's how badass this song is. Pure respect. Don't know of any other song that comes even close to this level, to this day.
Try Shine On Me, Live by Luke James, Magnificent SongWriter, Vocalist, Pianist, Incredible Actor, (STAR), ( New Edition Story) , etc, Arranger and Producer!
You're saying as if this song was a weapon for peacekeeping, even if only for a moment and in a temporary manner. Governments could've used this song to get clarity and sanity before escalating any conflict situation. They should arm their destroyers and warships with this song and blast it out loud against the enemy, or jam their radios to play this song. Weaponize Reasons by EWF for peace ✌️.
Im 63 and love this song always
A mís 65 años ..sigue siendo mi canción favorita y es significativa .. EMOCIONADA SIEMPRE QUE LA ESCUCHO..💖
I'm 32 and love this song always and forever!!!
Me too! I love it, many youthful memories.
Along with always and forever by heatwave

Awe, how nice, he seems nice in live videos I've seen of him.
Extremely jealous of your experiences! I’m Australian and could only dream of what it would be like to meet one of these legends! 👊🏼❤️

Amen yes xoxo.
Indeed there will be no other Philip Bailey
Along with Barry Gibbs.
@ReturnoftheBrotha:No I'm not. I grew up listening to both artists--and both are equally good. That's my opinion and you don't have to agree with it.

nope I can beat him
One of the greatest songs of all time. This song is timeless!!!
😊
I agree 👍
I absolutely agree
Yup
Back when music actually moved you and made you feel good music today’s junk
This is my parents' song. We played it to my mom on her deathbed. She faintly smiled. Could barely listen to this after she passed. But somehow I know that wherever she might be, she cherishes this song and the love she shared with my father. Miss you everyday, mum!

Is it just me or does Phillip voice sound like an instrument. My Lord this man was born to sing
Like a trumpet!
YES YES YES ,AND YESSSS!!😄
Same sensation
When he sang with Phil Collins, oh, that was the best.
especially at 3:28
Philip Bailey's voice is surreal. The costumes, the vocal ranges, the showmanship ,the dedication to the performance...Now that is worth spending money on!!! My sister introduced me to this group and many more groups of that era. She left me with a beautiful gift , so when I hear this group my heart flutters with love and memories of our childhood. I love you Genia!!!
Joy!!
We love genia
So true
Your sister gave you some great music 🎶to remember her soul !
Uhhh the costumes???BUT UH WHAT HE SAID ➖ THE COSTUMES! 🛑
This teenage boy that lives around the corner from me came over to my brother one day and asked him to give him my brother's phone because he always hears my brother playing all kinds of music so he gave him the phone and he put this song on and walked away we asked him how does he know that song and he said my mom plays it and that's how we will keep this music alive playing these songs for our kids
I wonder when they made these songs if they knew the songs would transcend time and generations?
Yes
In the song Fantasy, it says "our voices will ring FOREVER"😊
Their songs have definitely stood the test of time🙌🏾
SERIOUSLY!!!!!!
They stepped into their calling. That's why the music has stood the test of time.
@@janicerochelle8741 absolutely...heard "Fantasy" back in my early college years 1978-79 !
Loved it then as well as now !
Philip Bailey's voice goes into the stratosphere! !!

My dad added this song to his spotify playlist back in 2018 and I told him loved this song. He always loved Earth, Wind, and Fire. He died in 2020. I will treasure his memory forever by listening to his favorite songs. I was greatly influenced by his music. 🤍
I’m so sorry for your loss. Your dad had great taste -may he look down and see you whenever you listen to this beautiful song! 🕊❤
@@YvetteArby Thank you 🥺 Your comment made me cry.
♥
It is actually a sad song about a one night stand,which can be translated into a, loved one, wife,girl friend,who goes out and cheats on thier mate,that's why the song fits into so many people's life.one of my favorite songs of l.all time....rip white ❤
Let's give Verdin White some love, nobody ever mentions this great bass player.
Aaahhhh yes. My favorite instrument bass guitar. I get so lost in the bass that I don’t even hear the words.😁
Hier all my love💚
The whole band was amazing
@@mariateresarieraboned5348 p
Some cooooolll slap bass
This band was extremely unique. Talented is a severe understatement!
phil bailey's falsetto is a God's gift to humanity 💘 I tried to buy into the doctrine that secular singers worship Satan but damn the dude be giving me eargasm all the time. I praise Jesus for him 🙌
I love Phillip Bailey's Voice! His Range is Phenomenal!
Awesome!
Tha Igboprincess Yes it is! Loved him from day one!!
Absolutely fabulous love Lesley xxx
Amen yes he is xoxo.
I don't really like Philip's falsetto. I love Maurice and I have a DVD but I fast forward
There’s really not many bands that can compare to this group of musicians who have created a collection of timeless great music. The arrangement, the pairing of instruments to vocals it’s just perfection.
Well said
Earth wind and fire the best, Real music, fantastic sound, Music for your heart and soul, The real deal, Earth wind and fire 💐💐💐🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️
No one sounds this good live it’s so rare
Zach Billy No. Not. Thanks. Bye. Very.
VERY TRUE
Very proud they all called chicago home.phillip i believe is from denver
Phillip has one the purest upper register and falsetto voices out there. I remember having the record this song was on, the live version is way more of a vocal masterpiece!!
Sensacional marcou minha vida no incio do meu namorado 1979
Don Myrick on alto sax was my highschool classmate and was wonderful then and is still wonderful. Englewood Class of '58 is still in mourning for him. We were so happy to see his talents were utilized with such a wonderful talented group as Earth, Wind and Fire.
RIP.
...Which makes the circumstances surrounding his death all the more tragic. For those who don't know, he was killed by overzealous police at his own residence.
@@Greyareas27 Also happy to see that his grave was finally marked.
The Chicago connection...

Good music lasts forever.
The beautiful alto horn of Don Myrick...RIP.
The GENIUS of Maurice White...RIP..
This is what you call “ music “ 🙂🙂🙂🙂
No, THIS is *Art*
no, this is Masterpiece.
No, it is all this.
I think THIS emoji (😏) is more fitting considering the lyrics of this song and their meaning.
Or this ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
The reasons that we're here.
Raise your hand if you're still here during the pandemic. 🙏
This is really beautiful. EWF at its peak in 1981 .Good to see them altogether. In a few short years half the band had left . RIP Don Myrick . ❤️
What kind of black magic is this, that i can´t refuse to hear it and repeat it ten times a day!

Takes me back to another time when life was so innocent.... memories.
Agreed I feel the same way, I think everyone who grew up with this group still LISTENING AND LOVING
Absolutely
Who not me seriousgeorge I don't do that
Who said that sh
Lisa, I hear you. The song takes me back when I was having BIG fun (Wilmington, NC).
The greatest band ever assembled?
Totally. Yes
Absolutely 👊
One of the greatest band
top R&B bands of all time
YES!!!!
Incredible how he can hold that falsetto, live sounds as good as the recording.
I'm a preacher and I'm still listening to this-- one if my very favorites-- I'm still in n love with our old school Beautiful songs!!! EWF-- the best!!!
The masterpiece. The work of art. We should treasure their music forever .
SWEET.....SWEET SONG. 1977, where are you???? MR PHILIP BAILEY lead vocals......Leaves you with your mouth hanging open wondering what you just heard. This band was truly amazing. Seeing them Live was a true gift. Thank you EWF -
Putting this in Guardians of the Galaxy 3 was very unexpected but welcome.
If you know anything about guardians, how was it on expected?
@@juantaste8603 Because there's about 5 or 6 EWF songs I'd expect before this one
I'm even unexpected that Creep by Radiohead in GotG3, I mean that's a 90's song kind of unfit with the usual vibes of the movie.
@@tommyvercetti6730 I'm glad they used the acoustic version because it added a whole nother vibe.
I loved it
I am 17 And i feel so blessed to be able to watch the Earth Wind & Fire Verzuz Isley Brothers. Friends and Family call me old head and old soul but I take it as a compliment because music of this time were straight masterpieces
Steve harvey talks alot
Your blessed 🖤🖤
💯💯
Im 37 and yeah ur not alone
Nothing wrong with that young lady
High school dances late 70s - life was sweet. When I was maybe 11, I’d sneak into my big sister’s room to play her albums on her turntable. EWF, Doobies, Commodores, Eagles, Fleetwood Mac....that era is who I am and I’m thankful for that.
Don Myrick was on fire and Phillip Bailey was extremely good singing this song as well as the arrangement was straight on point. I absolutely love it.
Very simply put, one of the greatest to pick up a mic. The sounds that emanate from this man’s vocal ability is astonishing. An all-time great and classic.
When I was 18 years old this was one of my favorite songs. I turned 60 in April and it still is!
Karen Hunt happy belated birthday
Karen Hunt Darling I know what you mean I just turned 65yrs this June this music speaks to my ❤ heart Peace DNRackard
I'm 59 and it's one of mine still too Karen.
I was also 18 and my birthday was April too .Still listening with a smile
Karen Hunt - definitely the greatest song ever about a one night stand.
Listening after the VERZUZ tonight... I do miss music like this❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a great band this was!!👌Love their songs so much! ❤
I never go to bed without listenibg to this song for the last 5 years. It blesses me. Thsnk you Phillip snd everyone else
RIP to the leader of the most positive, soulful outfits of pop music history. RIP Maurice White.
+David Richardson REAL FUCKING MUSIC THATS SO RELAXING AT A EVENING DINNER WITH YOUR GAL
TODAY ITS KRAP JUNK
+David Richardson AGREE HIGH FIVE
+David Richardson Maurice White and this magnificent group of artists will live forever in the collective souls of good people. I know Maurice is dancing and singing up above...
Totally agree brother
I couldn't of said it better myself
Just saw EWF May 2022 in concert. So great to see three of the founding members still giving it their all! Phillip is still amazing and Verdine kept that bass line going strong! Thanks for all the wonderful memories in my “growing up” years back in the 70’s and beyond ❤️🔥
There Harmony's are legendary! Absolute perfection given by the dear Lord above.
I took my son to see Earth Wind and Fire after being cancelled twice because of Covid. I love EWF and I relive the best days of my life with their music. My son remembers me playing their music when he was growing up and I was surprised how much he loves their music. Philip Bailey is a Jewel from Denver.❤
Ladies and gentlemen Mr. Don Myrick on the alto horn. He plays so beautiful, don't you agree?
I played Alto Sax 🎷 mid-late 70's I would play this by ear as it played on the radio....EWF has such an extensive Catalogue of Music and great hits 🎶🎶🎶
Great soul player - so lyrical (Myrical) RIP DM!!!
ABSOLUTELY!
This is really and truly the national anthem of soul music! Can someone tell me if I am correct when I say that the glory days of soul music is gone forever.. They just don't make music like this anymore...Thanks EW&F for all that you have done for us musically! RIP Maurice White.... God Bless....
I am 22 years old born in 2000 and I loveeeee earth wind & fire 💙 my parents used to dance to this when I was growing up
This classic will never get old because the reason is whyIs ageless
There are many reasons why Earth Wind & Fire have been at the top of the musical genre for over 40yrs, with beautiful harmonious songs like this which really pushes vocalist Philip Bailey high falsetto chords to its limits, track written by main man & the inspirational Maurice White, Charles Stepney & Phillip Bailey, feel the vibe of their live shows
J Eshun Honorable mention Verdine White's Bass lines
+J Eshun you no j most people dont even no how much charles stepney meant to ewf ppl dont even no who he is.an thats a`shame
+ryan49er1
For real!
POSITIV MUSIC AND LYRICS, WORDS...
J Eshun This is the all time shit! I been listening to Earth, Wind and Fire since 1974! Love this!!
A masterpiece. No band in existence can even come close to EWF in this lifetime or the next...
Truth 🙌
I'd have to say that you're right
I agree
You like being captain obvious?
Never . No band is even in the same planet. I doubt ever will . Maurice white assembled the best band in history,.
I feel so fortunate to have grown up in this era and got to experience and see and feel the magic of EWF and other truly transcendent bands of this era. when I heard Marice White passed to the other side, I cried like a baby. so many memories of my youth growing up in Chicago and how EFW was such an influence on me and my peers flashed in my mind and I was temporarily overwhelmed. Rest in Peace Maurice White.
I can't agree more, I wouldn't give up growing up in that era for nothing. There is no music today that can compare to that music of yesterday.
Agreed. Grew up as a child listening to this being played by my two older sisters. My comfort music. My children now listen to this along with the other greats. And that is why this music will never die.
My father is a musician, growing up in the Caribbean, this is the music I grew up on. My sister and I were named after singers, I too feel fortunate to have been exposed to this. This generation missed out. My one wish was to attend a concert with my dad, sadly Maurice White passed. Love me some EWF.
Ethiopia music
I grew up in Chicago, too. Was and am a huge Chicago fan. I lived in the western suburbs...Villa Park. You?
Positively the BEST!!!!!
Not a single song from any decade can compete with this masterpiece. I get goosebumps every time I hear it! 🙌🏽❤
Likewise mamaz 💯!
You got that right 👍💕
Cough cough Always and Forever By Heatwave
@@DedicationDeservesRespect definitely a close runner up. Love Always and Forever ❤
Yesss 🙌🏻 you that right now this is music classic makes you feel good
Phillip’s singing is so amazing that you forget that this song is just about a one night stand.
Sang a women right out those 👙🤣
Yeah, he makes lust sound like romance
Lol. Yes Michael. You are correct.
Will Smith😃✌️
The methods of Hitch
THE GREATEST VOICE EVER ....
Yeah

Brings back hope for me. If only for one night 🥰 and hugging and holding you tight just for one night. Oh baby. Let me love you just for one more night.
How about that Sax Player❤️ The power of Music to move our souls❤️
Raw Pure God Given talent!! Simply Amazing vocal cords!! Love love love it ❤
Usher hit the nail on the head in an interview when he said how much women love when a man sings in falsetto! I can't explain it, but for the most part it's so true! R.i.p Maurice white. Earth wind and fire..so awesome...Sigh..
what interview this?
Got to know this song through watching guardians of the galaxy vol 3, and personally, i think this was the BEST song of the movie!
You'll like slave , con on funk shun and etc
Couldnt agree more carla
After film with Will Smith😃✌️

@@antithesa3652 ,
They are such a legend status band.. they had some HUGE hits
Decades later and this song is still magical!!!
Oh Yes!,Truth Indeed
Good Music is Forever ❤
One of the best pure falsetto voices of our time no doubt!!!
Don't forget Bobby Debarge of Switch and El Debarge of Debarge.
Eddie Kendricks of the Temptations was also a great falsetto.
@@SouthernComfort707 Yes!!! Never forget
@@SouthernComfort707 Yes!! Never forget. RIP Eddie 🙏
And from more recent years let's not forget about Maxwell...
I'm 29yo and never been tired of listening to EWF music. It plays over and over everyday but still I get the same kind of feeling. Oh! GOD thanks for giving the world with music legends like EWF! I love Philip Bailey. Maurice White and the rest of the band, I got a taste of heaven everytime I hear your music :)
The G.O.A.T. You can't tell me that God didn't touch this man voice.
Oh Yes!,Truth Indeed AMEN ❤and
Phillip Bailey voice is one of the kind
He sang his heart out in this song, reminded me of the song { I Know } Timeless Loves IT!!
2021 and sometimes all I can do is have a TH-cam concert of the greats *swaying and singing*

You ain't neva lied...
This guy is a LEGEND ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 💘 ❤️ 😍
Didn't matter how hard you were back in the day, (gangster, cholo, lowrider, black, brown,, and any other) once this song started everyone would just chill and take it in or grab their girl to dance. You could cruise down the blocks just blasting it as loud as you could and not one person would complain, not one, ever. That's how badass this song is. Pure respect. Don't know of any other song that comes even close to this level, to this day.
Try Shine On Me, Live by Luke James, Magnificent SongWriter, Vocalist, Pianist, Incredible Actor, (STAR), ( New Edition Story) , etc, Arranger and Producer!
You're saying as if this song was a weapon for peacekeeping, even if only for a moment and in a temporary manner. Governments could've used this song to get clarity and sanity before escalating any conflict situation. They should arm their destroyers and warships with this song and blast it out loud against the enemy, or jam their radios to play this song. Weaponize Reasons by EWF for peace ✌️.
