I know Im randomly asking but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot the password. I love any help you can give me.
I just found out William Onyeabor died... four whole years later. I feel like I got punched in the gut. RIP to a genius, you were wonderful and have given us all so much joy with your music.
You tube putting adds in the middle of songs/videos showing just how much respect they have for both the viewers and artists. Chances of me checking out you tube red gone from better than even to zero.
Such a good message, he's paraphrasing Proverbs 22:1. (A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.) NIV
yeah those are literally the lyrics, "a good name is better than silver or gold, and no money, no money, no money, no money, no money can buy your name"
@@thesprawl2361 yeah, to be fair i was talking about the specific teaching in the Bible about good name being better than silver and gold, not the whole song. The thing is I read mr William Onyeabor became born again so it's no surprise he was inspired by the Word with wonderful lyrics :)
+MSRPZ As often happens, stuff made earlier is more interesting than what is going on currently. Or is it that good music ages over time and only becomes more awesome in hindsight? Something to ponder.
I discovered him about 2 hours ago, his song "Body And Soul" is featured on Grand Theft Auto 5. This is a great tune as well! So, now, I got some listening to do!
Igbo People of Biafra are very proud of you William Onyeabor

I wish my mom was still around she would be flipping her shit and dancing around with her dog lol.
I bet she still dancing, up in the clouds, kicking it hard.
IAN m Your Mum sounds like a great Mum
i think this song is about being a good person rather than getting money, which is fucking dope. RIP

He means what he's saying.
I love that line. I just love the sincerity of his lyrics, even when it doesn't quite sound right, it manages to sound _right._
@@thesprawl2361 fucking nailed it.
@@monkeytennis800 It's that Igbo/English accent. Words and syntax hit different❤

It's from the Bible. Proverbs 22:1
@@Quiche.Richards Interesting. Didn't know that, although it's not directly from the bible it just alludes to it.

Powerful
Oneyabor invented LCD Soundsystem 30 years before they showed up.
+MSRPZ As often happens, stuff made earlier is more interesting than what is going on currently. Or is it that good music ages over time and only becomes more awesome in hindsight? Something to ponder.
@@BigBlack81 this will remain better than LCD Soundsystem, even 100 years from now
MSRPZ I have this theory that he pretty much was the start to what we consider techno
@@GammaRaie my uncle use to play this on the turntable all the time in the late 70s. He was so different than other artists of that time.
this a banger. B 17 BOMBER!
absolute banger
1983! this fella independently invented techno
