I've been sharing Asa's music for four years now. Back then, no one in the US had heard of her. I keep sharing. She's going to be a global SuperStar. I just know it.
when I first heard thus song as a kid i didn't understand it, it was just another song that played on the television and got stuck in my head but this morning I'm listening to it feel sorry for ignorance
I came to find solace after the death of Deborah (in Sokoto) and Dave (in Lagos). This is an evergreen reference to the truth in Nigeria. Thank you Asa. #JusticeForDeborah #JusticeForDave
Please bring the song back because it makes me cry, just listening to something similar and it just jogged my memory to come back to this song. I miss you.
A true prophet. She did warn us about our over reliance on oil 'One day the river will overflow'. This is what we are experiencing today.The river is overflowing and we dont have a place to run to.
I was in sixth form college with a niece of fela also the daughters of Obasanjo abiola seraki etc,, I heard them playing fela,I loved it ,they were surprised but he went on to be very popular in uk
I agree Obioma! I was just about to post the same thought. I hope the poor souls afflicted with hearing impairment get treatment soon! This is a superb song, from a truly great singer.
The time will come, we will look behind us and find out we left this song and we will go back and pick it up and the whole world will listen to it with us for as the fire grow bigger this will be our anthem of awareness.
Rahmat Adejumo here in Nigeria, I wish we have someone like Trump, who truly loves his country. You Americans should wake up and support your President and stop watching Saturday night laughs and CNN brainwashing you to hate your President. You guys are so ignorant.
VICTOR OCHI I understand we need a good president in Nigeria,but not someone like trump I wonder the qualities you see in him to make you think he is the best,yes he is helping the country in some ways so is Buhari,we need a president with good intentions and love for the country as well as the people... Buhari and Trump are not one of those
YEAH...WE NEED AN AGGRESSIVE PRESIDENT LIKE TRUMP AND SENSIBLE LIKE MANDELA TOO..TO RULE NIGERIA..U MUST BLOW HOT MOST OF THE TIMES AND COLD VERY FEW TIMES
There is fire on the mountain, And nobody seems to be on the run. Oh there is fire on the mountain top, And no one is a running. I wake up in the morning Tell you what I see on my TV screen I see the blood of an innocent child, And everybody's watching. Now, I'm looking out of my window, And what do I see? I see an army of soldiers that are Marching across the street What did they say to make you so blind, To your conscience and reason? Could it be love for your country, Or for the gun you use in killing? So, There is fire on the mountain, And nobody seems to be on the run. Oh there is fire on the mountain top, And no one is a running. Hey, Mister lover man! Can I get a chance to talk to you? 'Cause you are fooling with a dead man's corpse, And you don't know what you do. Oh So little Lucy turns sixteen, And like the movie she's been seeing, She has a lover in her daddy. She can't tell nobody 'Till she makes the evening news. For there is fire on the mountain, And nobody seems to be on the run. Oh there is fire on the mountain top, And no one is ah running. Oh yes. One day the river will overflow, And there'll be nowhere for us to go, And we will run, run Wishing we had put out the fire, oh no Traduire en français
Asa's First Album "Asha" remains her best body of work till date and Fire on the Mountain & Eye Adaba are my favorite songs off the album. Before Nigerian music became mainstream, i remember walking into a Starbuck here in Canada and hearing our music, it blew my mind. This was 2010
I’m afraid I am late in finding this amazing naija artist. I discovered Brymo and now her. So glad I did. Can’t believe I was walking this art without knowing her amazing music.
After watching ur live performance on NNPC Relaunch; I had to come back to play the full song cos I know some vital part of the lyrics are missing. God bless you for this powerful message ASA🙏
Asa God bless you so great dear sis. I have always loved you, your songs and I will forever love “Asa and Asa sings” Am so proud of you dear sis. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤❤❤❤ LOVE you
I heard this song from a documentary called "This is My Africa". I'm so glad to have watched that beautiful doc. This is a great song btw. This makes Africa more dignified with beauty, culture, and spirituality, instead of the crap that's it's only a third world civilization.
you can't truly appreciate yourself until you appreciate the beauty in others, i feel sad that a lot of people refuse to see this and they waste their precious time hating others, all i pray is that one day they will understand
Grammies should be given , the song and the music video are two different masterpieces , this is the definition of underrated . ASA speaking for Current Nigerian scenery still from 12 years ago???...damn 🧎
Tears flow when your heart truely hears these words. This song is for every generation to stop being complacent. Lets keep praying...even those who dont know how...Just say Jesus Please help us all. Every nation has fires on the mountain....
I don’t know why I’m watching all of her videos in one sitting but she’s so intentional it’s giving a different understanding of her and her craft and a new found respect for her.
by this Asa was a prophet, she passed the message of military brutality as we have recently witnessed on the 20th October, 2020 at Lekki Toll gate massacre. She saw the future, and more is still coming from this mountaintop.
Anyone listening to this masterpiece in 2024 has music taste
❤❤❤❤
yeaa
We’re in this together
It’s the accuracy of the song that makes me sad 😢
❤
Don’t worry, you ain’t the only one who is rewatching old Asa songs.
❤️
🥺
The only one in #2021 though 😅
I did
@@jaja_forever i'm in the list oo😊
2024 who’s here listening to this masterpiece
2023❤🤤qui écoute encore,comme moi🥰?
✌️
Moi aussi. C’est une bon musique. I love
✌️
2024>>>>
2024 on est là!!
This song is still so relevant with all the police brutality protests going on in Nigeria #SARSMUSTEND #SARSMUSTENDNOW
🥺❤️
I've been sharing Asa's music for four years now. Back then, no one in the US had heard of her. I keep sharing. She's going to be a global SuperStar. I just know it.
She is now🤗.
She did it!
Your the real
She is indeed. 😊
Lmao my name is Asa
This song is so underrated.
OK-Sade Good songs are usually underrated.
+Linda Guyse true
not underrated in Nigeria
So true
@@adetomiakintitan4980 yes
My Nigerian friends sang this during a picnic on our uni campus this summer and ive been obsessed with this song since. Love from the UK 🙌
Asa warned us here in Nigeria with this beautuiful song 5 years ago but still...... God please save Nigeria!
I thought about that listening to it today. " Til she makes the even news."
This song was 10 years ago
Nigerians are their own worst enemy. The government sales to the highest bidder, while oppressing its people.
God helps those whom help themselves.
I always refer to her. And this track.
I really need to get more in touch with my roots..... British Nigerian. All ASA's song make me cry....never caught so many feelings before.
when I first heard thus song as a kid i didn't understand it, it was just another song that played on the television and got stuck in my head but this morning I'm listening to it feel sorry for ignorance
Real message here
i was 2
Even me, bt now I knw what the song is all about. Police brutally, Insecurity banditry and boko haram in Nigeria
Nigeria needs to come back to this song 2024
Now, this is good music. It's been 13 years, and I still can't let go..
We still jamming to this hit!!! We ain't stopping.
I came to find solace after the death of Deborah (in Sokoto) and Dave (in Lagos). This is an evergreen reference to the truth in Nigeria. Thank you Asa. #JusticeForDeborah #JusticeForDave

Please bring the song back because it makes me cry, just listening to something similar and it just jogged my memory to come back to this song. I miss you.
Can’t duplicate this song ❤
A true prophet. She did warn us about our over reliance on oil 'One day the river will overflow'. This is what we are experiencing today.The river is overflowing and we dont have a place to run to.
She is the best Nigeria ever have as a singer! Great personality, not a show and have a her style❤️
felA IS NO 1...SADE TOO..SHE IS OK TOO
ASA is a legend on her own right.... But Fela Kuti is the best muscian Nigeria has ever produced!!!
Nneka
No, surely fela es the best Nigeria has produced
I was in sixth form college with a niece of fela also the daughters of Obasanjo abiola seraki etc,, I heard them playing fela,I loved it ,they were surprised but he went on to be very popular in uk
Asa deserves a Grammy. She deserves anything more than a Grammy
146 people that dislike this are surely deaf 'cause this song is outta this world!
prob just people still trying to justify, to themselves, going to "fight wars" believing they saving their own country.
loved this song ever since i first heard it
great
I agree Obioma! I was just about to post the same thought. I hope the poor souls afflicted with hearing impairment get treatment soon! This is a superb song, from a truly great singer.
Martin Treacy thanks for this. Such a soulful song by a wonderful and solemn voice.
We used to listen to this _religiously_ in my family it was the best and still is the best thing
Asa remains my best musician. I am the type of person that pays attention to lyrics, Asa remains topnotch!
I love this song, greetings from Algeria.
Proud to be african ❤️
im morrocan, but I feel my African roots grow when I listen to this song, go afrika.
morrocan fan.
with love..
In 20yrs I will still be listening to this song, so prophetic
This song can be applied to many life's issues... very deep and philosophical and practical at the same time.
The time will come, we will look behind us and find out we left this song and we will go back and pick it up and the whole world will listen to it with us for as the fire grow bigger this will be our anthem of awareness.
World war 3 is around the corner and nobody is doing anything about it. There is really fire on the mountain. 😂😂😂
Thanks for leading me here, Tems!
Asa was singing about 2020 there is fire on the mountain we didn't listen to ASA,
How many people do you think listen to her??(Nigerians especially)
@@imuetiyanogieva4640 Not a lot and when we do we are not really listening to the message which is just a shame, God help us
@@imuetiyanogieva4640I think the young generation are listening my daughter introduced me to Asa about 8 years ago
@@toyinbabalola9223 I love her all the way from South Africa. This song speaks to most African countries
This is a grammy deserved song and video
Asa saw years ago what was going to happen in Nigeria in 2020. Lord please save Nigerians and heal the broken hearted. 😭😭😭
this music is like someone touching your soul with their words i would have to say in my opinion she is one of the greatest artists of our time.
yep!
Wow ❤
She is phenomenal !!! I love her music and listen to it endlesslessly! The words are brilliant :)
Asa ❤❤❤. Na wetin dem dey call music be this ❤❤❤
Listening to this after the Owo Catholic church massacre. May the lost souls RIP. It’s chaos in Nigeria. Very valid message, thank you Asa.
Much love...from Ghana
She is a prophet,,, Nigeria today, blood of innocent people,, the only part I kw them,, was the last ves,,, miss preacher
Not only in Africa again now there is fire in America,God have mercy,time to listen to more Asa music....I think I'm the only one here🙄

Welcome to 2024, the fire don really de burn naija finish but we ain't still running 😢
I remember my parents playing this song and her other songs in the car when I was little,brings back memories
I have liked her for over 8 years now. Asa is awesome.
hello
There is fire on the mountain,
And nobody seems to be on the run.
Oh there is fire on the mountain top,
And no one is a running.
I wake up in the morning
Tell you what I see on my TV screen
I see the blood of an innocent child,
And everybody's watching.
Now, I'm looking out of my window,
And what do I see?
I see an army of soldiers that are
Marching across the street
What did they say to make you so blind,
To your conscience and reason?
Could it be love for your country,
Or for the gun you use in killing?
So,
There is fire on the mountain,
And nobody seems to be on the run.
Oh there is fire on the mountain top,
And no one is a running.
Hey, Mister lover man!
Can I get a chance to talk to you?
'Cause you are fooling with a dead man's corpse,
And you don't know what you do. Oh
So little Lucy turns sixteen,
And like the movie she's been seeing,
She has a lover in her daddy.
She can't tell nobody
'Till she makes the evening news.
For there is fire on the mountain,
And nobody seems to be on the run.
Oh there is fire on the mountain top,
And no one is ah running. Oh yes.
One day the river will overflow,
And there'll be nowhere for us to go,
And we will run, run
Wishing we had put out the fire, oh no

Who is here again in 2024 , that's Nigeria current situation, there's a fure on the mountain and everyone seemd relax
