If you still love this song in 2024 then you are going to be okay.
Thank you for your post. Needs to hear that right now.
Give a listen to Robbie Robertsons concept album, "Contact from the underworld of Redboy."
Pray that God would turn back to Brooke Shields innocence and turn back in time in do her life all over again because she deserve to exploited as a child. And that God will give her no age.
after years of wondering the title of this song I just found it in 2022
Thanks for this.
*I became 13 years old again when I heard this. I'm 42. The 80s and 90s were the best years of my life ❤️*
No doubt the best years of my life for sure!
Same as man I'm 41 now and these take ya back
… Same friend. Same.
Same
You are right.
Random teenager here. I won't pretend to be one of the people who listened to this song originally. But my dad loved this when he was my age, and it's thanks to him that I'm here. There's this feeling from special kinds of music that you can't find anywhere else. Some day, I want to inspire the same sort of feelings that this did for me and my dad at such different points in time. Love this music.
One of my proudest moments is when my son told me 90% of the music in his Playlist was because of me 😊
Proud of you for being here ❤
Shut your trap buddy
Bless your old man. 👍
I firmly believe that someday our lives will be laid out in front of us for us to see and it will probably be explained to us because all we. Did was go through life? We never knew what was going to happen tomorrow but all the crazy things that did happen all the crazy things we learned. All the crazy things we went through and did we'll. Be laid out? For us? And then we'll understand.
And we will all meet each other and we will know who we are. It won't be necessary to give out names because we already know that when we meet and I hope everyday of my life this will happen.
Enigma deserves a wider audience. Timeless, wonderful music.
The male voice is from [DIFANG - ELDERS DRINKING SONG]
❤
But they can't because they are quite an...Enigma....lol
Yeah enigma stole this song
Agreed.
My mom loves this song. She's currently dealing with breast cancer and everytime I pick her up at the hospital after the treatment, we play this song because she loves it. These past couple of months have been really tough and I just want to see my mother dancing and jumping again to this song like back in the days. I hope so.
Hang in there Marlon- sending a lot of love for your ma❤
I wish my best
Wish your mom a full and speedy recovery. 🙏🏻
Trzymaj się Marlon
Prayers for a speedy recovery ❤
My mom died of this right during the pandemic and I’m still grieving for her to this day 😢I can’t seem to move on with my life without her 😢😢😢 there is not one day not one heart beat not one breath I take do I not miss my mom 💔💔
If you are listening to this song right now, your brain is functioning well and you have great taste in music. Congratulations! Kisses from Italy.
Why thank you as this is a very beautiful song!

Aboriginal voices come from Taiwan
@@DivadZi23 It was from Amis people who are an indigenous Austronesian ethnic group native to Taiwan.
@@DivadZi23 The chant in Enigma's 'Return to Innocence' is not Native American, but from the Amis people (Taiwan) and is called "Elders' Drinking Song",
Thank guys for informing about Amis people!
How dare you
I am a 257 year old wood elf and I still love this song
I don’t know why but this comment made me laugh out loud, thank you
basically every comment in this music video

😂 I love your humor friend. Old souls at any age!
There are certain 90’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.
Right there with ya. There was nothing like 90s music.
How I miss the 90’s
So true, That it actually hurts!
Klasse B ware mit und ohne fler (trotzdem geiler Song) fuer diese leute zu viel.
It must be 25 years ago, I stepped into the store where my older cousin worked and this song was playing in the background, I was so star struck it felt like I was walking on clouds and this song has Forever taken me back to that moment: such a sweet memory ❤️
i am searching for this song for 7 years. my father loved this song ...
I found the song today.
i am so happy
I am so happy for you ♥️
My father also loves this song !
I listen to it every other day , just love it.
Congratulations 🎉
I have this same case 🙂 i found this song today. Many time i was singin this song to my girl,, to my friends , nobody know tittle 🙂 bat today i found. 🙂🙂🙂 This song sound do great. I love world, i love everyone ♥️♥️♥️
Anyone wish they could go back to 1994 🙋🏼♀️ this song = nostalgia 💕
I wish😢
Time moves bloody fast, dunno why!
Me I wouldn't mind. Crystal are you following me?
Many may not be familiar with his name, but millions across the globe will recognise this Taiwanese traditional singer's voice. A sample of his plaintive Elder's Drinking Song chant was used by Michael Cretu as the backbone for Enigma's Return to Innocence which went on to become one of Enigma's biggest selling singles. However Cretu had not obtained Difang's permission prior to using the chant which prompted a court-case in 1996 that saw the two settle out of court three years later with Difang being compensated. The controversy around the case propelled Difang into the international spotlight, and Dan Lacksman (whose most famous project had been the first Deep Forest album) approached him to produce an album together. Released by Rock Records Japan in 1998 Circle of Life is a mesmerising combination of Lacksman's usual electronic drumloops, ambient synths and sounds carefully constructed so as not to interfere with Difang's heart-felt singing based on traditional Taiwanese songs of love, work and celebration. Slower, more laid-back beats support songs like Visiting Song and the contemplative Fully Laden with Riches with its tinkling piano instrumentation and Difang's characteristic yodelling calls. However the more upbeat tracks like Love Song (with Deep Forest style lead synth-flute) and Working Song (with its dark string theme) are the real highlights of the album. As an obvious reference to the court-case with Enigma, Lacksman made his own, gentler modernisation of Elder's Drinking Song as well as including the original version of the chant unaccompanied on the CD. With the layered and more reverential sound of Circle of Life we see Lacksman mature as a world music producer, in comparison to his previous outings such as Pangea. Difang was a prominent producer and supporter of Taiwanese aboriginal artists. His last work was to be the solo-outing Across the Yellow Earth in 2001, sadly just as Difang was gaining much-deserved international acclaim, he passed away (blood poisoning due to a centipede bite) in March 2002 at the age of 82. His wife who, whose vocals accompanied Difang's chants, passed away a month later.
Wow Taiwanese? This whole time I thought it was Native American. If you’ve ever been to a Native American powwow you’d see that the chant is absolutely identical. Either way, it’s beautiful and tugs are your heart strings!
Thanks for the info, very informative. I too had thought that the chant was native American but had heard some time ago that it wasn't, but it does demonstrate the ties between native Americans and their Asian origins.
R.I.P To him and his wife :(
Thank you very much for the knowledge. Very appreciated ❤
A centipede bite?! Damn what a way to go, but at least he lived a full life
Those were the days... 90's, no worries, no problems, just high school, and pure joy... Anyone else listening in 2020?
i feel the same way about the 80s lol
Bingo, the right spot. It was peaceful back then.
Now,it's all about greed, fame, power mongering & possession. Disgusting.
Yep! Loved it then & love it now 💖
@@claudiajadeGrioli69 but you still have to agree that the 90's were so much better times than in the 2020's
Graduated 94. I feel you!
40 years old and tears streaming down my face at 7:27 pm on a Monday night in 2024 on my back porch watching the stars, listening to my childhood.
😢😢😢 it feels like yesterday
A song for all. 40 year old living beings in this world..🎉🎉🎉🎉
Absolutely ❤️
That's a beautiful thing. ❤
Really makes you appreciate the splendor or simplicity and beauty
Any day of the week or the month. ..no matter what year .. This generation has no idea ....and will never understand...what music is ever ..never. .....we grew up listing to masterpieces like this. ...
I really miss when the internet didn’t exist 😭
But then you wouldn't be listening to this beautiful song. Embrace the magic.
I sort of agree. But since I try to limit myself to historical research, and cool tunes of course...probably related ?
The world hasn't gotten worse. Quite the opposite. The world has less crime now than when the song was released.
The news just became a hellscape.
You just got older and more aware of the world. We were carpet bombing the middle east in the 90s, I promise.
There is no return to innocence.
The grass always seems greener on the other side..Truth is the internet can be a beautiful source of knowledge and many socially awkward people find friends and comfort online not to mention the aid the internet gives us in emergency situations , recipes ,news, communication, entertainment and of course music....if there was no internet yet someone told you about it you would probably long for it...everything can be used for evil,but dont forget the good....and also remember you can always just turn off all your devices and disconnect for as long as you like,my guess is you wont disconnect for too long because the internet is a huge convenance in your life ...i pray you embrace this privlage that many cant afford to enjoy.. ...God bless you!
@@anthonybanks7288You spelled every fourth word wrong, and offer no insight to any intelligent person.

Ditto. 🥂 life’s going so quickly since ‘87… hope you’re enjoying the ride! ✨
I have searched for this song to no avails. I caught a break today Jan 13th 2024. This song meant a lot to me as a kid. I don’t understand music, I don’t know how to make music but this song left a number on me. I am from Cameroon 🇨🇲 this music right here is truly special.
Just found it also,Was watching "Man of the house" and it was at the end of the movie..Brings back younger memories for sure.Gkad you found it as well.
It's amazing how music can make you feel. Enjoy!

@@DPoner thank you.
this resonates with me so much. this song deeply impacted me at 13 yrs old, when i first heard it. just came back after several years not hearing it. thanks for sharing your experience with the power and impact of this music.
Anyone else crying? I'm a grown woman but this hit so hard when I was a teenager
Я мужик и я плачу. Я вспоминаю своего дедушку, когда я с ним в 6 лет ходил в горы Таджикистана охотиться на кайотов.

Literally crying right now

Just herd this at apple bees!!! Reminded me of childhood commercial when CDs were being sold on tv😢😢😢😢
It is incredibly that I’m listening to this master piece and crying like a baby by reading the comments. It is incredible how many of us are connected to so many different good memories without knowing until something as magnificent as this song and its video stitches all together. Blessings to all of you!
The same here everytime 🙌🎁🎧
Yes
your not alone x
The old man died and his whole life flashed before his eyes in reverse order. He remembered where he had been, where he worked, whom he loved, how he walked under the same pear tree when he was a child. And he even remembered the moment of his baptism. He was apparently a good man who lived an honest decent life. Goosebumps. An ingenious clip!
Thanks Vladimir! :)
@Garden of Eden nbeny
Never thought about it that way! You are a genius
@yeahSOwhat how is it obvious dumbfuck!! I though the old man was taking a nap and dreaming!!! There is no hint that he died!!
@yeahSOwhat specially since is not even the same man,people in the reverse sequence....
My dad lost his fight with pancreatic cancer in 2021. We needed one song for the closing of his cremation. I sat for 2 hours on my own going through every single song we ever listened to together, and this song came on and I cried 😢 😭 this was dad's song for as long as I could remember.
So this played as the catafault was closing and his body been lowered. Perfect fitting song to the most amazing human to ever grace us with his presence.. HE RETURNED TO INNOCENCE.
I love you dad with all my heart and soul. YOU ARE MY PHOENIX ❤
ASSALAMUALAIKUM REHMATULLAHI WA BARKATAHU,
MAY ALLAH GIVE PEACE TO HIS SOUL & BLESS HIM WITH HEAVEN ON BEHALF OF NABI (SAW)..
AAMIN SUMM AAMIN 🤲🤲💐💐
That teared me up
May he rest in peace!!!!
Слёзы на глазах, царства небесного вашему отцу 🙏🙏🙏
I'm sorry about your father:) I lost both my parents already and many others. There is nothing easy about the ones we love leaving us behind. This has been the hardest thing I have been dealing with as I get older. Now, I just lost my father-in-law two months ago and it starts all over again. Stay strong!

90s music made you feel! Will forever be grateful growing up in that time getting to experience that feeling! 40 yr old reminiscing in 2024! ❤️☝🏼🥹
57 here. Same!
Or being in their 30s
The Native American chant at the beginning & during the chorus gets me every time! I was a kid when this timeless song came out & now I have kids of my own. Life is beautiful but sad at the same time. Hope life has been good to you… God bless you my friends!
Not native American. Its a taiwanese native song called “elders drinking song” traditional chant from the amis people.
Not Native American. I thought that too. It’s Taiwan
Who's here simply because you just remember this song and missed listening to it for a long time?
Or game grumps

Thirty years ago Enigma "Returned To Innocence"! Truly a memorable tune!
I noticed while reading the comments that most of you feel nostalgic for your childhood when hearing Enigma music. We are all different ages, different looks, and different countries, but there is always something that unites us as human beings. We are all connected. Greetings from Palestine, Jerusalem, the Promised Land.
Yeah!!! Music Power 🎧👊
Is there anyone left alive in Gaza?
There is no extinction for a rebel, I am like the resurrection one day will come.
Bless all in Palestine at this time...may there be a ceasefire and an end to the madness. 💕 😢

There is just something so peaceful and yet tragic about this song. It really does feel like you are spending your final moments of life, going back and remembering your whole life from the start. Reminding you of your own mortality, and that time is precious. It's beautiful and humbling.
Everything we do or say stays with us. What we learn and act upon then is set in stone in human form, our spiritual self is on a different adventure and we have to align the material and spiritual to further gain wisdom or to be illuminated. Our fate is inevitable but the energy we carry with us is forever
Do what?
song for the ages... the pendulum will swing back. God bless
The background throat singing was from a tribe in Taiwan that was the last to practice the art and when they passed away they took this art to their grave. That is why the song is partly tragic, you can think of it as the last of the Mohicans
It's apropos considering the times.
If only time could go backwards!!! I'd go back to the nineties! Who's with me?
I'm with ya
I am 100000000000% with you ..I can’t turn back the hands of time but surely surely can make rewinds each second of my life listening to old classics
I would definitely go in a heartbeat
I'm in
90's was my Decade too where i did many things that make me want to go back.
Love - Devotion
Feeling - Emotion
Don't be afraid to be a weak
Don't be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence
The return to innocence
If you want, then start to laugh
If you must, then start to cry
Be yourself don't hide
Just believe in destiny
Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence
That's not the beginning of the end
That's the return to yourself
The return to innocence
It's return to innocence
Lyrics
Lindo demais, obrigado
Timeless classic! Manila 2024. Thank you!

My dad passed away yesterday and now I'm making a playlist with all the songs he loved and I remember him by. This is one of them. Thank you dad for showing me the greatest artists of all times. Loved, missed and never forgotten 🤘🔥❤
My most deep and sincere condolences to you and your family. May he rest in peace!!
May he rest in peace
*_"My dad passed away yesterday and now I'm making a playlist with all the songs he loved and I remember him by."_*
I'm so sorry for your loss. That's a good way to remember his life and treasure the memories.
{:o:O:}
I'm sorry for your loss. Play his music, remember how happy it made him, and revel in the time you shared together.
If this was your dad's music then he & I are probably similar in age, and if so you'll want to add Stepping Out by Joe Jackson to your mix; it's a great tune.
May your father keep rockin on!!!
I SPENT TWENTY YEARS OF MY LIFE TRYNA FIND THIS SONG. I EVEN GOOGLED HAAA YO WAII YA EH OH AIYAAAA AND NOTHING CAME OUT UNTIL TODAY WHEN MY SIS CASUALLY DROPPED THIS SONG REFERENCE. MY LIFE IS COMPLETE NOW. thanks for coming to my ted talk. ✌🏽

Last sentence is pure gold
This track is cemented in my brain because when I heard it I was driving through the American Southwest and there is no more appropriate song for that landscape.
The world is cruel and dirty, we should return to innocence❤
Dedicating this one to my brother-in-law, who loved Enigma. He went to God last night.
I'm so sorry for you & your family's loss!😥 Just please know he's at peace and watching over you all from heaven!❤
Know that he is safe he has just went back to his true home. Wrapped in love with god. My condolences and love🌸🌸
So sorry for your loss 💕

My father told me He played this song for me when i was a baby. He loved the native American traditions.
He passed away last year Oktober with 74. He was a special man and the person who i loved the most in my Life.
RIP Roger Petersen.
God bless you and your Dad.
He will always love and protect you ❤
It’s amazing how music can bring back so many memories and nostalgia. Rest In Peace, to your father. Sorry, for your loss.
Rip roger
@@vonheimlerstrudel thanks❤️
Being Native American I always liked the indigenous Austronesian soundtrack they used in this song but my truly favorite band was Redbone !
Come and get your love
Glad I'm not the only person that still listens to this song today.
1993. I am 11 years old, and I learned to swim, went to the pool. This music was often played there. I remember the sun shining through the glass ceiling. I dive to a depth of 2.5 meters and feel these sounds all over my body. And the sun's rays sparkle and shimmer.
А мне было 17 и я училась в школе, эх как я торопила время тогда..хоть на денек бы вернуться в 1993

This is one of the most beautiful comments on You Tube I've ever read. It's poetry!
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. 27th February 2021 listening from north west England UK. 11:55am, Mi. Sun is shining ☀️🇬🇧
i used to people that was my 'deep' contribution
Let's have a moment of silence for all those people that still can't find this song...
Prayers
First heard the song when I was 8 or 9. Fast forward 10 years to Google and youtube. Trying to search the only lyrics I remember "oh i oh i I I i" .. heard the end of it in a Greek restaurant after 14 years, staff dont speak english n cant help. Go to 20 years later... Google algorithms got so good "oh i I I i" actually worked.
So much truth in your ❤️ words of the lost one's in life's grip of sorrow and pains .
Moment is past, be strong. You know who you are!
Yup ,yup.
I'm 38yo i wanna be a kid again, with my parents around me
I am 24 and I grew up with this song, and I feel exactly the same
🙏🏼 Amen
Yes 😢
Sim. Éramos felizes. Nossa unica obrigação era organizar nosso quarto e tirar boas notas na escola. Hoje só contas pra pagar kkk
I was innocent back when this was on the radio, early teens, I had dreams of what my life would be. I am now divorced fighting for my child's safety with a narcissist and hearing this song, brought me back to who I used to be and longed to be before I met the devil.
I’m sorry you are dealing with this
RIP to the seniors and other people that have passed away from covid 😢 and much love to their families who are mourning their unexpected passing

Feel sad for them
It’s too sad.
I am happy for them everlasting life

This song is brilliant - it shows how life can be short but still, it is carved with naive, emotional, and impacting moments. It makes us think about our anxieties, hard work, family, stresses, etc. To sum up, it pushes anyone to rethink life and sort out the real relevant things from the useless ones. By far, this piece of music is made by highly intelligent artists.
28 years later, this is still my favourite song of all time. I may not listen to it as much as I used to, but every time I do, it hits the right spot.
Mee too
😊
Couldn't agree more!
28??
In a few months, yes.
If you grew up on this kind of music THEN YOUR CHILDHOOD WAS AWESOME ❤
You’re fucking right😂

Thank you to my amazing mother. For entertaining my 8 year old self while this song screamed through the speakers in our living room (also sadness was on repeat) while me, my big sister, you, TaTa (our gram) would all hold hands in a circle and dance, spin, laugh, LIVE. 😊 SOMETHING SO SIMPLE WILL FOREVER BE ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHILDHOOD MEMORIES 😊❤ & for that i thank you ❤ & Enigma of course 😊🎉❤
I was 6 years old with my Walkman and this song. My first favorite song!
This song still fills my soul, 30 years after its release. Some things never leave you. ❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤
Agreed. Heard this song while I was in 6th grade in 1995, still rocking it out.
I was in high school.. hajaha
It's always good to go back to the day
❤
this song is so fitting for all the 90's kids who heard it brand new growing up. listening to it is a real return to innocence
Yes dear it is..
Even some that are born in the 90’s remember it
It's a return to ignorance, A time when I was oblivious to how evil it all is---how depressingly vile it all is! Knowing can be a frightening thing! Please Armageddon Come!
Song still gives me goosebumps! Im closing my eyes and reflecting on the most wonderful years of my life.
Now that were in our 40s we understand the meaning...
My dad passed away a month ago and I'm going to walk down the isle to this song. It is a special song held within my heart for my dad, wish he could walk me but I know he'll be watching from above
A beautiful life, the way God created it, to get emotions from simple things.
This song echoes through me transporting me back to a time I've forgotten. Things seem so crazy and complicated as an adult. This gives me a second to breathe and regroup.
I was a child when listening to this song, looking out the window and dreaming big ……. Here I am in 2021 an adult …..
Exactly
@@felipe6008 and life has stripped our innocence
Same here
THIS IS NOT AN ENIGMA SONG. I hate to burst your bubble, but they STOLE this recording from an Aboriginal married couple named Difang and Agay who were singing this DRINKING SONG in a bar in Taiwan!!! They were never paid royalties and did not even know their song was the theme of the 1996 Olympic Games and a mega money making hit until a village neighbor asked them about it 20 YEARS LATER!! They sued Enigma and the recording label, and they received a crappy payment. There is NOTHING SPIRITUAL about this song, it is not an Native American song, it is a stolen performance of the Ami Drinking Song. You may Google it for proof if you'd like.
My parents passed in the same year(2020), they were in their 50's, this was my mom's favorite song. I listen when I feel down and need to sing. Beautiful song. Thank you. It's been very hard.
sorry to hear about your parents, try listening to Olive, you're not alone. It has helped me. m
Be strong friend. May their souls rest in peace.
Same feelings for me ..

+Trumanmblack lt's very difficult, to track down a song, of what one may of heard when they were young, when all you have to go on is a hypnotic chant.. l am ecstatic to have happened upon this by mere chance. l got lucky!"_")
I'm working on the tow truck and I walked into a gas station and heard this... It literally shook me because this was a song they played while we played and also laid down to in elementary! I had to use my Google search to listen to it and it picked it up.. now I know exactly why I was supposed to hear this again finally!!!
Taiwanese here❤
LOVE TAIWAN 🇹🇼
This song will always hold a place in my heart. I wish I could go back and be my younger self but knowing as I get older I have to cherish everything I have.
Great comment. Pretty well sums up me.
I couldn't have put that any better myself..... 🙏
We all want to be our younger innocent selves again. I feel moving away from society would help, somewhere remote and self sufficient surviving… the things that really matter come in nature and being around what you love, and the ones you love.
Most times it's the memories, events, people and loved ones that makes you long for the past. Sadly, I'm in the same ship, too
❤ Thank you
The voice in this song is sung by two Bunun aboriginal Taiwanese named Guo Yinan and his wife. Respect to Mr. Guo and his wife.
Yes, stolen from Taiwanese Aboriginals but I thought they were Amis, not Bunan.
Respect and love
Who cares. Enjoy the music
@@naguoning yeah I always wondered if they ever got any money from this
All this time i thought American Indian
This is my “FEEL EVERYTHING” song. I overwhelmingly feel each & every one of my emotions at the same time when I listen to this song. ❤❤
I just spent the last 20 minutes searching different terms to try and find this song again. This was my childhood, it brings back so many memories of simpler times. Before the song had even played to 1:33 I was already holding back tears but when the Native American part started I couldn't hold it back any longer.
Still one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.
Lantunan
yg abadi.

Satria Kurniawan Djaenal ..Amen....Amen
Love
Devotion
Feeling
Emotion
Don't be afraid to be weak
Don't be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence
The return to innocence
And if you want, then start to laugh
If you must, then start to cry
Be yourself don't hide
Just believe in destiny
Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't…
That's not the beginning of the end
That's the return to yourself
The return to innocence
That's return to innocenc
"Don't give up and use the chance to Return To Innocence" ;)
and when you return to innocence, try to return to innocence again
Tomika thanks for this text as it adds up much to the song.
A melody you nowhere hear, but still it is good in meditation
🌺
you forgot something on that lyrics..... haaaoooeeeaaohaaaooeeeiiohaaaiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
If you listen to this song regularly, you will live a long healthy and happy life
Who's watching this awesome music at 2017? 🙏💜

Life has become a machine, working, paying bills, not being able to cover all bills, guns and bombs, profit and greed. It wasn't meant to be like this. I believe everybody should return to innocence.
It won't happen but to those who can see it, enjoy it while it lasts.
truth
Your so right, what happened to us all, greed, a person/people define themselves by how much they earn, have you noticed one of the first questions asked is what line of work are you in, you answer, they define you on that one thing, not knowing anything else about you, even if you were doing allot of charity work, in the back of allot of people's minds is the level of money they earn and the higher they earn the more worthwhile it is to hang out with them, it's lunacy.
oh i have. for the last 18 years of my life. ive been living with extrene freedom and relaxation. make what i need and just have fun. you only live once. so im living with no regrets. enjoying my family and just everything around me. barely even mad or bothered. just enjoying life.
true
Absolutely right
Childhood innocence is needed.
32 years old still love this song as today 2024
Let us give a moment to pay respect to the traditional Taiwanese Amis people Difang and Igay Duana who provides the melodic vocals for this song yet remained largely uncredited.
Never in all the years, did I have a clue who gave these vocals.They absolutely should be given credit. The song wouldn't be a hit without then
Can you tell me more?
Id like to know this too. Would love to have a whole album of them singing!
Just Looked This Up! A Bit Ago....
(Although In The 90's I Had Inquired About This Very Fascinating Topic Myself, Even Then)
The case was settled out of court for an undisclosed amount of money and all further releases of the song were credited (including royalties) to the Duanas, aka the Kuos - their Chinese name. The Kuos were an indigenous Taiwanese couple from the Ami tribe.
Songwriter(s): Michael Cretu, Kuo Ying-nan, Kuo Hsiu-chu, John Bonham
Recorded: 1993
Producer(s): Michael Cretu
This whole time my ignorant ass assumed it was a Native American person. But can’t blame me their singing does sound similar 💕🤌🏽
They were credited and paid eventually. Enigma thought their music was public domain, but happily settled the case and credited them. They probably saw a 7 figure sum from this song, so dont worry!
Who else is a fan of Craig's work?
*Witty, original comment with a Game Grumps joke*
IIIIIII...IIIIIIII....IIIII
am
I had no idea I was so popular ;p
I am!! of course!!
c'mon craig...just stop
They don't make music like this anymore❤
1 of the best songs of all time!!!!!!
Still listening in 2024!!! Are you????
I finally understand this song. We must return to innocence. The person who is our true selves,, that is love, peace, joy. The outside world made us accustomed to their ways, their beliefs. There is only one path, that is ours,,. Not everyone else’s. We must follow our own path. From birth we’ve been taught how we should act, what we should believe, what we should think. It’s time to find peace from Within, and be at peace with and love ourselves, forget what everyone else says or thinks. What do you think? I hope this helps someone.
Yeah! Dude😍
yes so true
We are all in charge of our own destiny aimee
On another level, and thrown out there in the video, what it means is that no matter what you do in life, you just reset, so your original ideas are your last ideas.
I'm 57 1/2. I haven't lived. For the past 30 years comparing to my goals, I've stagnated, trapped in my timeline. I've done everything 'right' like they told me. The rest depended on decisions others, and not me. I lost the battles for my existence - all which needed others. I. e. I've an empty life. I'd rather had a full life and dead at 45 than the torment of the absents of simple things in life. No pie in the sky, simple goals - all miles too high. Chasing dreams that run faster than me. I begged my younger friends under 30, don't end up like me.
This song is timeless. I know we all agree.👍
You are right , absolutely ‼️

I do listened to it in the 80s during my high school years, what a time, wish it would be back.
Mi padre siempre escucho esta cancion, el.creia mucho en la reencarnacion, sabia mucho sobre culturas antiguas, y sabes que papa gracias a ti empece a estudiar y seguir tu legado, estudie la biblia y culturas antiguas durante 13 años mas de una decada despues que fallecieras, y comprendi los secretos de este mundo, y ahora tengo paz, por que la verdad te hace libre, ya nos veremos papa.

thanks to my dad, who introduce this great song when i was just a kid
It's January 10 2020 and people are still listening to this amazing song! It lives on!!
I'm 19. Since I was a child I listen this song every day. That's my favorite one.
@@lauratovarsaavedra8164 That's awesome to read. You have fantastic taste in music.
I'll always love this song.... It touches me so much. 💖💕 It gives me peace when I'm sad.
CBChamberlain it always will
They will listen in Jan 10 ,2040 too
Humanity needs a Return to Innocence.
Agree
Amen to that 🙏
Amen 🙏
Towns without internet
We’re getting there albeit slowly.. the Great Awakening 🙏🙂💙🌟💜🕊🌈💫
❤remembering the 1st time i heard it. I was just a kid. I saw the music video on MTV. Then a few years later they played it on my favorite show "My So-Called Life." It is probably one of the best songs and videos ever made. For the early 90s' it was different and visually perfect. Any other people my age (43) who remember when it was first released??
1:53 The return to innocence
And if you want, then start to laugh
If you must, then start to cry
Be yourself don't hide
Just believe in destiny
Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence
I'm 44 and I was 15 again. This a song I have sung to myself many times when I'm afraid of what tomorrow brings. Life never goes as planned. But the circle continues...
😢
🫂✨❤️
Same here
😢😢😢now 43yrs..
44 here too. Man, listening to this takes me right back to my awkward 15yr old self
Does anyone else get tears in their eyes listening to this song?🥲
Every time!
Every time. I heard it for the first time maybe 10 years ago. And yes, every time..
Beautiful song
Ya me
Yes I'm pretty sure everybody does.
I am listening April 2024😁
