I will say this now and many times again: artists as talented as this and so many others don't need to be validated by mainstream channels and/or awards. They make music that comes from a raw, pure place that resonates with most who have the privilege of witnessing their talent. We are privileged to be a part of this dialogue. That's good enough for me, a voluptuary being.
You know a song is excellent when it's relevant even after 14yrs. I was 12 when this was released and I enjoyed it as any regular music back the, but as time goes by, your mind evolves as you grow, Asa started to make more sense, more meaning. For some reason I've had Jailer on repeat after my recent Asa cravings. This woman is legendary, deserves more recognition 💜
She is one of a kind of artist no soul can copy or duplicate. She is a LEGEND, and her songs speaks to the past, present and the feature. Her music perpetuates many symbols of the reality of every day life as humanity. Just powerful!!!
@@sosamizfit3669 nothing happened to her she’s in abroad with her family and kids and she’s still doing music but not very much tho and she’s still okay and young and making deals here and there and going for events too on a low
I always thought when she was talking about Mr Jailer I thought it was a person until I discovered its about imprisonment and the entire society how they judge people. Sometimes society makes us feel like we are in jail
please she is nigerian, not, ghanaian, i am ghanaian and imake this correction on behalf of nigerians before they get mad at u for your mistake :). Asa is 100% nigerian.
This song has a powerful message behind it. We all fall short somewhere. Instead of spending our energy at pointing out the speck in each others eyes in a manner of destructive criticism, why not be kind to each other and be accommodative of each other. Asa is a robust and powerful artist. Her musical sounds, vibes reach to the soul🙏...just discovered her music two weeks ago. I can say I am having one heck of a good time listening to it.
Anyone here still resonating with song in 2023? 14yrs later and I'm not over this writing and the message plus that piano and don't forget the star of the show. Asa! Glad you are still making music. Still a fan. Much love from 🇰🇪🇰🇪 Kenya. Next stop...fire on the mountain top Asa...love from Kenya
I can't get over Asa, more than a decade and still great. You were way ahead of your time. The best Female Artist from our beloved continent. Just wish we give more appreciation to such talented acts. Asa I see and I love you.
🎤Am in chains you’re in chains too I wear uniforms, you wear uniforms too Am a prisoner You’re a prisoner too Mr Jailer I have fears you have fears too I will die, you sef go die too Life is beautiful Don’t you think so too Mr Jailer Am talking to you jailer Stop calling me a prisoner Let he who is without sin - Be the first to cast the stone Mr Jailer You suppress all my strategy You oppress every part of me What you don’t know You’re a victim too Mr Jailer You don’t care about my point of view If I die another will work for you So you threat me like a modern slave Mr Jailer If you walking in a market place Don’t throw stones Even if you do, you just might hit One of your own Life is not about your policies All the time So you better rearrange your Philosophies and be good to your Fellow man Jailer I hear my baby say I wan be president I wan chop money From my government What he don’t know Be say Mr Jailer🎶🎶
i bought a guitar after this and practised every day for 8months. she truley is an inspiration to anyone and everyone and i think everything she is just makes her more beautiful because she isn't afraid to be it. love u asa and thank you for inspiring me. i have bought your new album aswel and love it. maybe is my fave on the new album!
Wow! It's been 10 years since you drooped this comment. I hope you're well. I just want to say I'm always happy when I hear how someone inspires another person to do something, especially if it's through music.
You know what is amazing. My old teacher put that song in English class in France. She was very old, I don't know if she's still alive. I was one of the only ones who liked the song. And now English is not a mystery for me anymore
+Charles King are u jeolous of he ,cos is not easy to b in u.s live people with their comment ok, if he's a musician now u guys will b happy to hear u.s
Asa's most popular song. I'm Ghanaian but I love Nigerians more....I soak their music most. my top 5 African artistes are: 1. Fela Kuti 2. Asa 3. Miriam Makeba 4. Efya 5. still searching
I have truly never had the priveledge of listening to, of hearing, of imagining with such an astounding songwriter and musician as well as a true artist of voice and tone. Thank you, Asa, for the amazing experience!
2022 and this song still gives me goosebumbs about what used to happen back in the days around 2008, ASA what a legend she deserves more than she got. much love from Wits university
They played this music everyday on the radios while I was In class 4 this was how I knew I had been late for skul cuz I it played at 7:30am😂and it’s 14 years now
This song... It has always been in my mind... I love it. I hope and pray that we will pass this corona shit and get back to our normal lives.. lots of Love from Kenya.
Dont hate on Burna bro every musician is different everyone can't be asa if everyone is like asa music won't be interesting variety is what makes music interesting so let's enjoy both of their music and focus less on aesrds
@@pocola.stonesI don't see what he said as hate on burna and he didn't say burna didn't deserve the Grammy, what he simply saying is this particular project deserves a Grammy and that would have been way before burna
I played 'Fire on the Mountain' on the morning of 21/10/20 and cried like a baby. The scenes of our soldiers shooting at fellow citizens at Lekki Tollgate the night before was too much to take; Asa's words was as prophetic as it gets.
I love her!! 😍😭 this song just came to my mind, I kept searching the lyrics I remembered and it was worth. I’ll forever love this song, best believe my kids will jam this... much love 💗🇿🇦🇧🇼
ASA'S song "fire on the mountain" is literally one of my best piece. Asa was indirectly advising us to take proper care of the environment, proper parenting and many other things.... Some happened and are still happening. Lady is a G. O. A. T and a genius as well 🥰
J'aime beaucoup ces chansons,elles sont calme meme je comprend pas forcément puisque c'est de l'anglais. Jai toujours pensé qu'elle etais américaine. Merci encore

Pure Genius!!! In my opinion, the “Asa” 2007 Album is the best contemporary music Album in the history of Nigerian music. It deserved a Grammy!!!
She is one of a kind of artist no soul can copy or duplicate. She is a LEGEND, and her songs speaks to the past, present and the feature. Her music perpetuates many symbols of the reality of every day life as humanity. Just powerful!!!
Do you know what happened to her?

Nneka Ejiofor My dear me too I love Asa so much i just wish I could see her 1 day
I always thought when she was talking about Mr Jailer I thought it was a person until I discovered its about imprisonment and the entire society how they judge people. Sometimes society makes us feel like we are in jail

WOW

🎤Am in chains you’re in chains too
I wear uniforms, you wear uniforms too
Am a prisoner
You’re a prisoner too Mr Jailer
I have fears you have fears too
I will die, you sef go die too
Life is beautiful
Don’t you think so too Mr Jailer
Am talking to you jailer
Stop calling me a prisoner
Let he who is without sin -
Be the first to cast the stone Mr Jailer
You suppress all my strategy
You oppress every part of me
What you don’t know
You’re a victim too Mr Jailer
You don’t care about my point of view
If I die another will work for you
So you threat me like a modern slave Mr Jailer
If you walking in a market place
Don’t throw stones
Even if you do, you just might hit
One of your own
Life is not about your policies
All the time
So you better rearrange your
Philosophies and be good to your Fellow man
Jailer
I hear my baby say
I wan be president
I wan chop money
From my government
What he don’t know
Be say Mr Jailer🎶🎶
A little late, but thank you, please reply and say hi 🧐👍
