I am just finding it at 47 as well. It's like they want to keep true soul music away from us. We can sing about hoes and drugs not about life or success.
I'm 44 and was thinking the same! How can such a brilliant artist who's been sampled so much be this obscure?? Listen to his song "I got the" and caught like 3 different rap song samples in that one song alone.. going on a deep dive now
@@volunteer100This is always his song. Kanye is just someone who needs to take from others greatness to achieve his own. I have a new disrespect for Kanye.
@@zgtolerance5631look at it as Kanye knew how to compose the song for the new generation and gave more exposure to the original bc I would’ve never known about it til I heard I Wonder
Oh my God. Reading this legitimately made me cry, I send you all the love and good energy I can offer. My daughter is the most important person to me and I could never imagine losing a child. I am so sorry ❤
Music is subliminal. This kind of music is what's needed in this world today. Something that is calming, something that is not violent, sexualized, or talking about drugs. We need love, humanity, and respect in this world today.
My Song Labi Siffre This is my song And no one can take it away It's been so long, but now you're here, here to stay And I wonder if you know what it means To find your dreams come true This is my song And no one can make it a lie It's been so long since someone Could make me cry And I wonder if you know what it means To laugh as tears go by I may not always sing in tune And sometimes you don't hear me But you don't have to be near me To know that I'm singing This is my song And nothing can make it die It's been so long and it's stronger I know why And I wonder if you really, really know That as long as I live I will sing my song for you
1:20 "To laugh as tears go by.." I just imagine myself being an old person and looking back at pictures when I was young with my friends. Laughing and having a few tears in my eyes.
I’m 13 years old and I’m a kid who loves these types of songs. They’re just so calm and exciting! But this song right here, is one of my favorite ones ever

7/17/2024 Wow… Me too.🥹 This song is beautifully written and sung.😢❤️ I’ve always been that way all my life. I can remember sitting on the couch as a child tearing up to songs like…. Minnie Ripperton’s Back down memory lane There are some more songs that would bring tears to my eyes and I can’t think of them right now.🤦🏾♀️
I want this era and the funk era to come back. We could be happy sing happily and not put anyone down just to sing. No derogatory lyrics just good sounding music.
I'll be 38 in December smh!! I've listened to this song several times everyday for a week straight so far; beautiful addictive real song/music 🎵🎶🎶 🎙️ 📻 💙 🏙️ 👏!! Love from bridgePORT, CT 🧱 🌆🌆
This reminds me of my ex. It’s genuinely a beautiful song and I’m trying to disassociate this song from her so I can truly enjoy it without much sadness. No idea if anyone cares or will see. It makes me think of future love too. I’m excited for it. And I hope yall get future love someday too.
Aye man love comes and goes and even sometimes returns. It's a part of life and it's spectacular. I can't wait to find the woman of my dreams I'm 20 only been with 2 women one who cheated on me and the other we both agreed to separate cause we weren't ment for eachother and that's just how life goes my boy! We get those life experiences we move on and persevere! I know that the situation with ur ex is probably ass but if u dwell on the past it'll fog the future.
Wow. As a lyricist/musician this song gives all the motivation in the world to us as why we love making the art that we do. Thank you for making this song. I hope you’ve received your flowers 💐
I’m 15 and I appreciate this song and think it is a beautiful song the. Again I was raised on 70s, 80s, 90s and mostly rock and metel music in General so
7/17/2024 Beautiful songs like this should have way more views. I love it!! Sir thank you for your contribution to music. It’s great and sad at the same time when our own personal life experiences can cause some of the most beautiful and painful moments that allow us to create something special that resonates with others.❤️🫂🙏🏾
So I'm here hearing this version. The original because I mean all of us has heard the song. I wonder by Kanye West and someone on TH-cam. May a version that has this. Added to the song to make it longer and it made it sound amazing and I was like. Well, now it's time to find the song that started all this. And here I am

Crazy how we all came here and making this beautiful song Trend again.. this song makes me cry so much , makes me think of my kids I love so much ❤️ I just love my life and my family I’m crying while typing this . I love my sons , thank you Kanye for making this more known ❤️🫶 I just can’t man this song pulls me in places that no other song can . Maybe I’m just a lil bihhh 😭😭
I discovered this beautiful song because it was on Kanye West album and I wanted to hear the original because I know there’s an original way and this song is beautiful

I’m in my 50s. How is it that I am just hearing this beautiful song for the first time in 2023? I’m so disappointed in myself.
Better late than never...😊

It's my experience that British singers are very underated! I'm in my 60's & I have loved this man's music all my life. Try 'love song for someone'!
Kanye: nah, you'll share.
😂
Lol. Too funny
Graduation brought me here... Sorry... Kanye... He was genius for using this sample but this song is. A. Genius masterpiece
Bro really
Bruh💀
Music like this lowkey gotta be revived
Facts bruh
Was just listening to Frankie Lyman, Little Anthony, and The Temptations last night and said the said the same thing
100
Kanye west sampled it
Gregory Porter has a similar style. I’d like to see him remake this song.
A beautiful song need not be complicated when it's sincere...
_This is my song..._
_and nothing, can make it die..._ ✨
Then Kanye came around and made it his.
@@volunteer100This is always his song. Kanye is just someone who needs to take from others greatness to achieve his own. I have a new disrespect for Kanye.

@@NaturalCheekSpreadertrue bro, Kanye know that this song was a banger
This is the sweetest voice ever created by God.
It was created by Labi here.
I’ll never stop loving this song 🥰
I wonder
@ AND SOMETIMES YOU DONT HEAR ME
Labi Siffre- “This is my song and no one can take it away.”
Kanye- “I wonder if I can make this mine. “
No one like this cooment I’m replying to
This song makes me think of my only daughter who we lost to cancer when she was 16 ..I’ll sing my song for her FOREVER!!!❤🕊️
God Bless her soul in heaven, and I pray that you continue to stay strong💌❤❤
R.i.p to your Daughter.... I hope God continues to give you strength
Wouldn’t you want to sing HER song? The message she never got to deliver past 16?
Oh my God. Reading this legitimately made me cry, I send you all the love and good energy I can offer. My daughter is the most important person to me and I could never imagine losing a child. I am so sorry ❤
May God rest her soul 💜🕊

Absolutely 💯. Made me tear up because the feeling is so refreshing, lovely and low key reminiscent.
@shqipe4801 I agree
This guy has two husbands and a atheist bro
@@AnthonyRodriguez-n4n had. - and what does it change? It's still a beatiful and happy song.
People back then were so well spoken and sounded so mature for their age
My Song
Labi Siffre
This is my song
And no one can take it away
It's been so long, but now you're here,
here to stay
And I wonder if you know what it means
To find your dreams come true
This is my song
And no one can make it a lie
It's been so long since someone
Could make me cry
And I wonder if you know what it means
To laugh as tears go by

That as long as I live I will sing my song for you
Kanye West:🍦🗿
Kanye: our song
btw anyone saying he took the song is incorrect as he only took ctus/samples from it, therefore he did not take the song.
@@RealTheGladgamer jews are the only ones pushing that narrative😂
2024 39 years old and just hearing this song for the first time, Thank you Mr. West, I was already in love with this song
Me to bro dec4 85 life crazy
1:20 "To laugh as tears go by.." I just imagine myself being an old person and looking back at pictures when I was young with my friends. Laughing and having a few tears in my eyes.
This is a beautiful song I'm here in 2024. Loving this as the tears flow. I want to feel my dreams come true.
I’m 13 years old and I’m a kid who loves these types of songs. They’re just so calm and exciting!
But this song right here, is one of my favorite ones ever
BUT HE MADE GRADUATION 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥
Keep the love for beautiful music alive, we need your generation to appreciate beauty, the older generations have lost it.
You have a taste, continue your journey there are a lot of interesting songs in that era that are great for our mentality.
way to go my man 🤝🏻
I remember this song from when I was a kid in the 70’s. This is one of those songs that make you remanence about your childhood. Your whole childhood just plays out in front of you. He has quite a few sleeper hits. I learned of him while I was stationed in Germany in the late 80’s.
This will be my wedding song!!! THE GOAT!!!!
Mine too
Are you engaged?
@@kimmullady2034Are you engaged?

Oh my god. What this song is currently doing for my anxiety no medication could ever replicate.
❤❤❤❤❤
It's magical isn't it. Hope you're well
Damn it makes me tear up
Me too. Why?
Me too and I think it’s because of the sweet simplicity/sincerity in how these basic words summarize one’s life.
7/17/2024
Wow… Me too.🥹
This song is beautifully written and sung.😢❤️
I’ve always been that way all my life. I can remember sitting on the couch as a child tearing up to songs like….
Minnie Ripperton’s Back down memory lane
There are some more songs that would bring tears to my eyes and I can’t think of them right now.🤦🏾♀️

Their Mom probably used to listen to this song.

"I am a genius and influence everyone"
Nope
No only gen-z people like that gutter sludge - the original song is great
Rappers have been a vehicle for us to get to know this treasures

One of the best songs ever
It’s so organic and pure

This is My Song, and nobody, can take it away.
It’s been so long, and now you’re here, here to stay.

And I wonder, if you know, what it means, to laugh as tears go by.
I may not always sing in tune, and sometimes you don’t hear me, but you don’t have to be near me, to know that I’m singing.
This is My Song, and nothing, can make it die.
It’s been so long, and it’s stronger, I know why.
And I wonder, if you really really know, that as long, as I live, I will sing My Song for you.
I may not always, sing in tune, and sometimes you don’t hear me, but you don’t have to be near me, to know that I’m singing.
