well, what some might consider talent might differ autotune is a tool for making songs, if you know how to do music would that not be considered talent? idk

This song gives me nostalgia I just can’t figure how. The rhythm at is 1:02 where it happened. This man needs some respect. No auto tune just a pure and happy angelic voice.
Me too. It recently got viral on TikTok. But the viral version is Kayne West’s sample of it. I have zero interest in Kayne West talentless rapping nonsense. So once I heard the hook, I immediately went for the original and found this
Everyone hating on Kanye here doesn't even realize Labi had to agree to his song being sampled. He literally ok'd it and was paid and credited. Y'all just like to find reasons to hate so you can feel superior for a moment.
Yeah, also lyrics wise, I think the meaning of "this is my song and no one can take it away" was that his song was a metaphor for his soul and the content of the song, whether in tune or not, is unique to him... Is literacy dead in the next generation?
It might have been sampled, but in all honesty, a lot of people would have never known about it if it weren't for Ye. And in all honesty, I think this is perhaps the first, heck, maybe only song that put a tear in my eye. It's just so beautiful to listen to.
It’s a classic. I encourage people to look for music instead of just listening to what’s put in front of them. Great songs are out there everywhere for everyone.. be love✌️

“To laugh as tears go by” wow just…wow. One of the most peak quotes I have heard in my life. This song is a unique piece of work no doubt. It’s sad how nowadays music is only rap and heavy music but it’s sometimes good to acknowledge these things…
That quote us especially peak considering the stamza before it. 'It's been wo long since someone could make me cry' 'and I wonder of you knowwhat it means to laugh as tears go by'. Just wow.
i really love this song, it has an indescribable quality that pulls me into it. it evokes such emotion in me. it makes me consider myself in a way i havent been able to consider myself without the song. labi siffre is so wildly talented and his voice angelic.
I feel like this has even more meaning as a famous sample, its still his song despite the obvious irony in it. And his song is still heard and sung because it was sampled. His song will never die
It will always be your song fam. No matter how folks will sample, chop, remix, copypasta, scalp, swivel, slow down, buy, pirate; it's most definitely your song.
Shits been pretty rough for me lately. I was upset in my bed while listening to this. I started to tear up. My cat came up to me and started licking my face. I started to shed tears of happiness, at the moment the song was at "And I wonder if you know what it means. To laugh as tears go by."
