I was originally based in Philly, and ursula is such an icon over there. Discovered this recently and it’s like I’m seeing a whole other side of her! So happy this exists.
Two Pages is an immense album. I put it at the same level as Talking Book and Innervisions. That's how brilliant it is. I bought it in '98 and it is still timeless. Thankyou 4hero 💚🖤♥️
This song forever changed the way I listen to music. I will never forget the day my import copy of Two pages came in the mail in fall of 2002. $40 that made me come to the fork in the road and go straight. Thank you Marc Mac & Dego!
I love 4heros as their songs resonate a lot with my work as digital shaman, working on the global brain. I only now realise how much the lyrics of this song aligns with the current corona crisis. I do hope our paths will cross in the future. Cheers.
the group that changed my music....yes, you can blend jazz, poetry, classical and electronica.... this is the track that turned me on to ursula rucker....it is just sooo butter the earth metaphor is simply brilliant...
Wow, what a nice surprise this video! Ursula is comming to my hometown tomorrow, and this music from 4Hero really got stuck into my favourites since the 90's. It's really something... to 4hero, when (and if) you come to Portugal, don't forget to play the "oldies" please.. :) Greating to all listeners of these marvelous musicians. Peace!
I would love to see some outtakes (rehearsal footage) of this! Classic 4hero from THE pivotal turning point in their career. Two pages peeled my head back. I first discovered them via a Kev Beadle show when Creating Patterns came out, but when I reached back to Two Pages....lawdy!
@samthchef it's also a shame they took the recording off the house console for the venue. in the acoustic space you don't need gain on drums but you need a lot on the strings...but on a recording you can barely hear the drums and the strings are mad loud. i feel like i'm only listening to a room mic on the drums. that said it's a great performance and must have been amazing hearing it in the venue.
4Hero - more live shows needed. Yourselves, 2kBlack, Silhouette B. DKD, Mr KT, IG Culture - the whole fam. Don't care if you're not 'groups' anymore - reform. Make it happen. Come nuh?
@4herotv - You men are incredible composers and musicians and Two Pages is among my favourites. Whereabouts is hot for Fusion and Soul in the UK at the moment? Wanna make this kind of music, but alas I don't know where to look. Cheers :D Xan.
an all time favourite always visualised an animated video in my head?? anyone know how many albums of this were sold its a shame they never got more commercial recognition(fuck a mobo)these guys should have got a brit and then some
As we await sister Sun's arrival, child stars you'll listen to my tale, please stay. As it was told to me by my sister afar. Earth her name and this, this is her story: Sister Moon hear me now, I feel my end too soon, too soon! My wounds are deep, gaping, unhealing Can't believe, refused to believe my children had no feelings for me. See them sealing a fate of early death and destruction, watch my my foolish daughters and sons, as they kill me, slowly kill me, quicker kill me. They've loved me as would an unfaithful lover, part-time and half-assed, Now unmasked is their deceit. No more sweet, sneaky thrill seekings. Tomorrow brings nevers and nothings. Ended days for my world and its unchanging ways. Now, apocalyptic truths of revelations hasten our omega my children's and mine. Each time my breath, skin and tears are polluted and poisoned by their careless games and toys and this is only the beginning of my children's sinning. My power is fading. You suck, brother, mother earth's now a plaything for the ungrateful child, so cold. Ten billionfold, my tears. I long for the once adoring embrace of my children their prayers, their care and tenderness has now turned loveless The embrace now an anaconda's grip unmerciful and swift swift with the killing. Killing is a sport Fun with fire and my wondrous rainforests reflect the neglect they have for their main source. They slaughter their sibling blossoms and beasts like the first murderer, Cain, their pure sister oceans will never be the same due to daily spoil and brother sky's choked from oil refinery factory smoke Your mother earth found me, dying, note who's crying now. My power is fading. You suck, brother, mother earth's now a plaything for the ungrateful child so cold. Ten billionfold, my tears. But I'll continue to spin, until my curious home sapiens offspring pay the price for their sins against my tainted tears, my breathless breath and once-fertile skins My sons are million-murderers. They kill - I kill one million plus. I never wanted to hurt my children but our creator makes me take revenge. It's the circle of life - or at least, it was. But now it's the end. No, no it's too late for repentance, accept your death sentence. I've given you all I can. Such beauty and life you'll never have again. Now it's the end. Now it's the end. Now it's the end. Now it's the end.
Ahh she says USURPED! mother earths now a plaything, for the ungrateful child, so cold, ten billionfold, my tears. I've been trying to figure out for years what she said. USURPED.
Ursula is one cool cat. Never heard someone make poetry sound so cool, cause i'm usually never interested in poetry (even though songs are technically poetry).
one of my favourites ,shame golden tooth strictly dancer,never spread some real wealth amongst the real reinforced talent(dego/mac) whilst sniffing lines lines with noel(and any dnb arse lickers out there)ask yourself how long can you string a sob story( i was in care)and that bhe you main selling point(NOT) a heard him mention countless celebs, name dropping,rarely those who made him musicly cant act for shit
still listening in 2024. still a banger
🙏🏾
Facts!!!
And so on point even moreso now

i agree
4Hero, the thinking person's Reprazent. Other LEVEL! 🤩
Timeless? like the goldie album.
This song forever changed the way I listen to music. I will never forget the day my import copy of Two pages came in the mail in fall of 2002. $40 that made me come to the fork in the road and go straight. Thank you Marc Mac & Dego!
still listening in 2021
My goodness this is magnificent !!!
thank heavens for that, almost deleted this file, we're music producers not web guru's...lol.
Love what you guys do . This is the first time I’ve seen this . Wow .. I’m kicking myself , I thought I had my finger on the pulse .. stay safe 🙏🏼
This is beautiful thank you for creating this song with the amazing Ursula Rucker. Great collaboration.
I had been looking for this literally half of my life. Guess I was around 18 when I first listened to this beauty. thanks!
G F never too late, glad you found it!
Jumbo studio had some serious talent... Quality tune 1luv 😎
I love 4heros as their songs resonate a lot with my work as digital shaman, working on the global brain. I only now realise how much the lyrics of this song aligns with the current corona crisis. I do hope our paths will cross in the future. Cheers.
Wow. Quite simply the best live Dnb tinged full band I've ever seen. Wish they'd still perform
Like that.
Please play live again some day before I die! (and please have Luke Parkhouse again on drums!)
A really great melodic bass solo utterly ignored by the video director! This really winds me up...
Yep, you'd expect that from the BBC, but at Montreux..?
What prescient lyrics this song had back then - and how much worse it's got since. Beautiful craftsmanship or should I say craftswomenship!
WOW, your wonderful voice and music, Ursula Rucker ...!
the group that changed my music....yes, you can blend jazz, poetry, classical and electronica....
this is the track that turned me on to ursula rucker....it is just sooo butter
the earth metaphor is simply brilliant...
Amazing live performance
The drummer is my hero.
Nothing better than 4Hero fam ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥
Awesome performance 👏
I love this woman, very deep true inspiration.
Love it. Remember buying the album back in the days. Not much that beats live dnb drums. And those strings… my god.
Powerful.
Amazing.... totally and completely. One of the few tracks that have actually touched my soul.
@4herotv

Any more of this gig available, Dego..?
@4herotv - You men are incredible composers and musicians and Two Pages is among my favourites. Whereabouts is hot for Fusion and Soul in the UK at the moment? Wanna make this kind of music, but alas I don't know where to look.

an all time favourite always visualised an animated video in my head?? anyone know how many albums of this were sold its a shame they never got more commercial recognition(fuck a mobo)these guys should have got a brit and then some
@4herotv i didn't know!
can you post the planetaria's video please?
As we await
sister Sun's arrival,
child stars you'll listen
to my tale, please stay.
As it was told to me
by my sister afar.
Earth her name
and this, this is her story:
Sister Moon
hear me now,
I feel my end too soon, too soon!
My wounds
are deep,
gaping,
unhealing
Can't believe, refused to believe
my children had no feelings
for me.
See
them sealing a fate of early death and destruction,
watch my my foolish daughters and sons,
as they
kill me,
slowly
kill me,
quicker
kill me.
They've loved me as would an unfaithful lover,
part-time and half-assed,
Now unmasked
is their deceit.
No more sweet,
sneaky thrill seekings.
Tomorrow brings
nevers and nothings.
Ended days
for my world
and its unchanging ways.
Now,
apocalyptic truths
of revelations hasten our omega
my children's and mine.
Each time
my breath, skin and tears are polluted and poisoned by their careless games and toys and
this is only the beginning
of my children's sinning.
My power is fading.
You suck, brother,
mother earth's now a plaything
for the ungrateful child,
so cold.
Ten billionfold,
my tears.
I long for the once adoring embrace of my children
their prayers, their care and
tenderness
has now turned loveless
The embrace
now an anaconda's grip
unmerciful and swift
swift with the killing.
Killing is a sport
Fun with fire and my wondrous rainforests reflect the neglect they have for their main source.
They slaughter their sibling blossoms and beasts like the first murderer, Cain,
their pure sister oceans will never be the same due to daily spoil and brother sky's choked from oil
refinery factory smoke
Your mother earth found me, dying, note who's crying
now.
My power is fading.
You suck, brother,
mother earth's now a plaything
for the ungrateful child
so cold.
Ten billionfold,
my tears.
But I'll continue to spin,
until my curious home sapiens
offspring pay the price for their sins
against my tainted tears, my breathless breath and once-fertile skins
My sons are million-murderers.
They kill - I kill one million plus.
I never wanted to hurt my children but our creator makes me take revenge.
It's the circle of life -
or at least,
it was.
But now it's the end.
No, no it's too late for repentance,
accept your death sentence.
I've given you all I can.
Such beauty and life
you'll never have again.
Now it's the end.
Now it's the end.
Now it's the end.
Now it's the end.
🙂🙂🙂
Oh, please don't do that. It's one your bests!
Come to Mexico someday.
Saludos! :D
Lovely stuff, pity about the audio sync - the sound is about half a second later than the video stream.
Ahh she says USURPED! mother earths now a plaything, for the ungrateful child, so cold, ten billionfold, my tears.
I've been trying to figure out for years what she said. USURPED.
Ursula is one cool cat. Never heard someone make poetry sound so cool, cause i'm usually never interested in poetry (even though songs are technically poetry).
@4herotv if it's yours pls take care of the audio Synchronization
one of my favourites ,shame golden tooth strictly dancer,never spread some real wealth amongst the real reinforced talent(dego/mac) whilst sniffing lines lines with noel(and any dnb arse lickers out there)ask yourself how long can you string a sob story( i was in care)and that bhe you main selling point(NOT) a heard him mention countless celebs, name dropping,rarely those who made him musicly cant act for shit
uñmmm who are you speaking of?
lol... ;)
its a shame that the modern pop kids are just sampling this instead of getting behind an instrument and making it.
shame its out of sync, wanted to watch this :(
