This song makes me feel so relaxed and calm. I love the vibe so muchhh😫 whoever’s reading this I hope you’re having a blessed day and enjoy this masterpiece❤
He told me sweet lies of sweet loves Heavy with the burden of the truth And he spoke of his dreams Broken by the burden Broken by the burden of his youth "Fourteen years," he said "I couldn't look into the sun She saw him laying at the end of my gun" Hungry for life And thirsty for the distant river I remember his hands And the way the mountains looked The light shot diamonds from his eyes Hungry for life And thirsty for the distant river Like the scar of age Written all over my face The war is still raging inside of me I still feel the chill As I reveal my shame to you I wear it like a tattoo I wear it like a tattoo I wear it like a tattoo
This song is actually a true story. ''A long time ago, I met a man in a bar in New York. He told me his story. This is his song. It’s about war and what he had to go through.''
There were more anti-war songs in the 80's than in the 60's.A time when the threat of nuclear annihilation loomed large. This song ranks among the best anti-war songs ever.Rendered even more powerful for its subtlety. The humanity in the lyrics sung in Sade's honeyed tones really packs a punch.
I’m jealous. I was a kid in the 80s/90s and listened to her songs back then. Now years later and understanding a whole lot more, her songs are even more special to me.
If I listen to this song with close attention, sometimes I will get full body chills thinking of this person's emotion. You can wear an experience like a tattoo, particularly a traumatic one.
One of my favorite Sade songs this song is so powerful the story behind is powerful as well but I think we all interpret this in our on way as well she really captured his most valuable moments and memories in the story that was told to her by him that’s true artistic expression just amazing
Always come back to this song everyday..honestly every listen feels different and in the most perfect way EVER. This song has literally changed my brainwork. I love the story behind this song, and I feel this song also hits close to home within the lyrics as well. I hope I revisit this song throughout the years 🎉
My 21 year old son grew up with this song among her many others. Who'd think he'd be the one to tell me of the motivation behind the song-A soldier who had to kill.
It was inspired by a conversation Sade had with a veteran at a pub who fought in Vietnam and killed someone. I just learned that today after reading an old interview of hers!

"I remember his hands and the way the mountains look." GETS ME EVERYTIME.

Hungry for life And thirsty for the distant river"❤️🔥🥺

you too 🤍
Absolutely one of Sade's best songs EVER. We love you.
He told me sweet lies of sweet loves
Heavy with the burden of the truth
And he spoke of his dreams
Broken by the burden
Broken by the burden of his youth
"Fourteen years," he said
"I couldn't look into the sun
She saw him laying at the end of my gun"
Hungry for life
And thirsty for the distant river
I remember his hands
And the way the mountains looked
The light shot diamonds from his eyes
Hungry for life
And thirsty for the distant river
Like the scar of age
Written all over my face
The war is still raging inside of me
I still feel the chill
As I reveal my shame to you
I wear it like a tattoo
I wear it like a tattoo
I wear it like a tattoo
🙏
u so real for this
@@user-rv8xf6ro1e jus look up the lyrics lazy mf 😭
❤️🙏

Pure chills. Brings tears to my eyes.
So blessed to have seen her live. She touches something deep in my soul.
I’m jealous. I was a kid in the 80s/90s and listened to her songs back then. Now years later and understanding a whole lot more, her songs are even more special to me.
When I grow up I want to be like Sade. Her voice is so angelic, and she’s beautiful too. She’s my idol.
This is nothing but poetry
1:37 - 1:51 is unforgettable and forever iconic ✨😭
That part was what drew me to the song. 😢
This is the part I was looking for. I thought this was the chorus. Not what I was hoping, but it makes me appreciate this part of the song harder.
this song will just stop me in my tracks and just really mellow me out . i love sade ! ! !
This song is perfect, I love you sade

It seems like a former soldier is talking about a time in the war.
I know that this song waters my eyes
