(Lyrics):
[Verse 1: David Paich]
I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, 12:30 flight
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
"Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you"
[Chorus: Bobby Kimball]
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (Ooh)
[Verse 2: David Paich]
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become
[Chorus: Bobby Kimball]
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
[Bridge: Both]
Hurry, boy, she's waiting there for you
[Chorus: Bobby Kimball]
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rains)
I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rains)
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa (Gonna take the time)
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

Hurry boy she's waiting there for you

Bless the rains down in Africa

Where do you live?
Poland
Pakistan
America
Cali
I live in Africa! 🌍
Crazy how this song almost didn't come to light because the producer thought the meaning of the song was odd. Then bam. One of the most iconic songs of all time.
What is the meaning of the song, anyway?
I know its crazy
I LOVE THIS SONG ❤ SO MUCH
My twin sister Anita watched a series named Big Cat Diary. She loved a little lion cub named TOTO. Anita is in heaven now but I love everything she loved even TOTO!!! Loved

“Africa” is well deserved to be called “a Masterpiece”, beyond time, distance and even race.

@@chip5403 yuh
I always feel so happy when this song comes up on the radio
Blow this comment up so I can listen to this once a day ❤
Edit: I have so many good memory's with this song. So KEEP THEM LIKES COMIN!!!!!
Ok
No, but listen again
No
Nah
Yes captin!!! 😖
I live west of Africa, in NYC. This was my favorite song from 1983.
I’ve had this song stuck in my head for the past few days after one of my teachers played it. I don’t regret a thing.
Grand song. 😇
Good teacher! 👏🏽
This is the mad notes !
I love this song, but what is the meaning of the words
For the past few decades for me. 🖤
I live in England. North Hertfordshire. This song was written by God.
It's Heavenly❣
Why you yappin about it where you’re from how is that relevant to this song 😭
That man from England was expressing his feelings, and how it he can relate northern England to Africa.
You should listen.
I love listening to this masterpiece on a rainy summer evening as the sun is going down
Sounds like a vibe
me, contrary. I love listening this to the sunset hahahah
I BLESS THE RAINS DOWN IN AFRICA
This is absolutely the best song to listen to when being relaxed in mountains and landscapes that are so calming.
The song itself is so calming.
No matter where you live, it’s more of the journey in living and passion what we enjoy 😊 doing
I lived in Africa for two years. Toto nailed it in every way!!
Welcome back 🙏
It’s like just close your eyes and let the 80’s wash over you…
Damn
My wife is from Africa. She has told me so many memories of this song when she was young.
Legends!! One of my fave tracks for half a century. Past 48 years of my whole existence, it still sounds absolutely amazing, and always will, to my very last moment on earth.
No matter how many years pass, this song will stay in our hearts FOREVER!! Classic never die...
To think that this was at first considered "B side" music material by Toto.. unbelievable.
It’s worse than that. The rest of the band didn’t like the song, they didn’t understand the lyrics. Paich considered dropping the song from the album and save it for a solo project that would come some time later. But perhaps an angel suddenly passed through the studio and had the band eventually cut the song. The rest is history as they say 😊
I'm South African. This song screams to me.
2024 and still listening ....you guys *heart this * so I can always be reminded of this beautiful piece ❤❤❤
Used to listen to this song when i was 4yrs old...... I am 34yrs old now. 😢🥺 (Nostalgic) Africa will forever be imprinted in my veins ❤
David Piache is one of the best musician/ songwriters of the 70s and 80s , the whole toto group is without question one of the most important groups in history
The production, instrumentation, and writing is phenomenal. Timeless music
It’s the most best song ever and I love it. It’s so good. It’s like the best thing ever I have ever ever heard.
It’s something about the sound 80’s music produces that make it sound uniquely identifiable to the decade and this song is the masterpiece that ties it all together
Fun fact today May 25th is celebrate freedom and liberation of Africa 💚💛❤️
2024 n listening on.......
great shout out to the Wild Dogs of Africa aka Painted Wolves ...one of the most endangered species in Africa ...love this song
Nostalgia always hit rly hard with this song for some reason, one of the best songs ever
When I was a kid I always thought it said, "I catch some waves down in Africa"
I always thought the song was about surfing, 😂
I used to think it was 100 men on Mars
Always loved this song right from being a Child, I'm now 46 and still one of my all time favourite songs!
I'll be 50 in July & this is still one of my favorite songs when I was younger
I'm 11 and i've been listening since five. LOVE it
I'm 65 and glad you love our 70s. Music
I’m 42 and my 12 year old daughter loves this song, too :)
I'm 16 and I've been listening since I was 12 years old
Makes me think of a dark, shadowy forest in africa during pangaea which dinosaurs existed
My 13 year old son and I are going to see them in 2 months! So excited!!
Enjoy❤
This is one of the greatest songs of all time ❤
Now I do agree however I think it stinks a little. Haha only kidding 😂 Thank you for the comment though ❤
I'm in Missouri and I'm Listening to this Cool Song. I'm Old School and Staying Here. ❤😊
ok
just amazing vibes 2024!!
The feeling when you discover a song that was made decades ago but it’s new to you: 😎😎
Love this song so much, play this in my funeral
I actually have that in writing, its my favorite song of all time
Ok
Reminds me of Peter walking out of the strip joint in 80s slow motion fashion while throwing a glass against the wall.
I miss her so much I don't have a mom and my grandma was a mom to me...😭
Heading back to the year 1983 for this one
La mia Africa. Grandi Toto per sempre nel mio ❤️ anche se passano gli anni e le generazioni cambiano. Un abbraccio a chi ascolta ancora questa musica `Grandi' e sempre noi giovani e forti . Billy68.
That song was a favorite of mr mike enriquez rest in peace mike.

@@victoriaforbes4418 You lived there? I wouldn't brag about it if I still thought it was a country.
@@martinc.720 She just wanted some internet validation
Welcome back 🎉
Easily one of the best songs that has been
Out for a long time plus it’s just great in general
I miss the Zimbabwe rains!😢 and the Johannesburg electric thunder
È inevitabile che ascoltando questo pezzo i miei ricordi volino a quei primi anni '80.......la gioventù, la vita davanti, la meravigliosa sensazione di avere il mondo tra le mani. Mi rivedo con i miei capelli lunghi assieme ai numerosi amici di quei tempi, quando ci si incontrava per il puro piacere di stare assieme.......... Ci si confidava, ci si confrontava. Si condivideva tutto : sogni, speranze, gioie, dolori, vittorie e sconfitte. Persino i dischi e le magliette.
Sono stato fortunato, ho avuto degli amici fantastici. Molti di loro sono ancora al mio fianco, parecchi, invece, si sono persi per strada. Ma sempre vivi nel ricordo
Smoking up and listening to this banger 💨
Few songs are as soothingly healing & relaxing in all that they evoke, for such peacefully contemplative reflection overtakes me every time I hear it, it lifts me up & beyond all while taking me to places & realms that my eyes have never seen, making me feel far more alive & vibrant & spiritual. More human.
This masterpiece, in all its glorious timelessness, has that beautifully transcendent effect upon me, helping to purify my soul as most of my worries fade away.
What sublime exaltation, what magically endearing serenity, what mesmerized wonder, what loving detachment from the madness of it all, what mystically sweet sensations have flooded all throughout my essence, what wonderfully primitive sensibilities burst from deep within, what freedom of thought & moving around to foreign landscapes to explore & marvel at, what rapture. This song! Amazing!
When I listen to this song I always hear, " there's nothing that a hundred men on Mars could ever do." I think I like my version better, lol.
I thought that too until yesterday 😂😂😂 I also thought it said “I guess the rains down in Africa”
When I was a kid and this came out, I thought it was "There's nothing that a hundred men on board could ever do". For years until I found out what they were saying I couldn't reconcile what a bunch of sailors at sea had to do with the African Savanah. 😂
This song is stuck in my head for a month already. I really love this song ❤❤❤
@heathersmith5154 I hope you are living a good life merry Christmas
He sure does a beautiful voice
RIP SIR MIKE ENRIQUEZ. THIS WAA HIS FAVORITE SONG 🥺 WHILE IM LISTENING THIS, IT HITS DIFFERENT
Hinanap ko din to narinig ko sa funeral ni sir mike
Here from Dull Men’s Club on FB
Every time I'm in a bad mood I think of the art installation that someone literally put somewhere in a desert in the middle of Africa that plays this song on endless repeat, forever, powered by the sun. And then I chuckle. (And yes, that is a real thing. Look it up!)
An iconic song from an Amazing era...
"How do you DO the things you never HAD?"
Had DONE.... 😂
Thru the heart
My ex boyfriend used to work in a big department store in the electrical department selling stereos etc. When demonstrating them he used to play this song really loudly and people would always buy one because everyone loves this song.
Ew
Person: How many times have you heard this?
Me: Yes 😅
2024 still here 😊
I bless the rain down in Africa
Esto definitivamente es arte
One of the best songs of all time
Best song of all time
In Thabazimbi, South Africa tonight listening to this. It means more now.l
Added this song to my playlist because it’s been stuck in my head. Best decision
We vibin in gta vc with this one❤❤
soon in GTA VI ✌
I feel soothed when I hear this song sending love to africa
I liked multiple takes if this song.
This is Cyprus 😩😪🔥
Sir Mike Enriquez bring me here because this song is one of his favorites
I love Toto ❤
I heard this song like 8 years ago when i 1st became a tourguide and i never forget it
man this song breathes 80's atheistic
The lines “I know I must do what’s right” and “I seek to cure what’s deep inside, frightened of this thing I’ve become”
They describe a constant struggle in myself
I’m happy to say that I’m winning that struggle, but it’s a battle.
You need Jesus if you ain't got him already.
JK! 😉 I don't believe in that monstrous nonsense
(scientific notation = N to the Mth)
Real masterpiece ❤🎉🎉🎉 love it❤♾️
My 21st sweat pants memory had a nice bath last nite x all around the world x
I'm one of those people that miss hear lyrics. I thought this song went,
' I miss the rains down in Africa.' Otherwise, the instrumentals give the song its own vibe. It's smooth and tells a story. Very individual.
oh i thought it was "i guess the rains down in africa" for the years i have been listening to it
I thought that it was “I guess Lorraine’s down in Africa”
Ive blessed the rains down in Africa myself a few times. Lol
Im from the philippines 62 years old but still listening this kind of unforgetable songs of the 80's
I grew up in Zimbabwe ...post Independence back home on ZBC the djs jammed this.
We gotta show this to the Africans who have missed out unfortunately
I hear the drum echoing tonight
Reminds me of my youth working to help my mum and dad pay for my university I was working at angel's club in Liverpool 😊
A beautiful song for a beautiful continent, filled with rich culture, a glorious history, wonderful food and great people.
You should visit, bro!
@@Jolis_Parsec absolutely will.
I once had a dream about being in Africa it was weird but interesting
I wanna go there someday.@@Royal_Salahuddin
@@daisyrose9311 Egypt is the perfect country for you I want to visit it too
I bless the rains down in Africa. I’ll bless the rains down in Africa.
Am I the only one that heard the lyrics as there's nothing that a 100 men on Mars could ever do?
Nowhere NEAR the only one! ✋🏻 I still accidently sing it that way at times. Now try this: doesn't solitary mean all alone? Then why are the wild dogs longing for some *solitary company???*
no
yes
God darn it now u can't unhear that lol
Lmaoooo I have thought that for the past 25 years 😂
I bless the rains down in Africa
Bless this song 🎵 🙏 🙌 ❤️
Greatest fucking song ever
It is, man
What about that Phil Collins song?
Yes 2024, I am Tenerife, enjoying the African sun and rain. It's Spain, I now, but beside Morocco. So...😊
Love this song ❤️
This song is from 1982 and I was born leaving the 90s and this song is my jam 😂 I got a old soul and proud of it 🤘🏼🖤
Anyone in 2024?
me
Me too
Again, yes I've this song❤
Here here! My 6 year old has fallen in love with it.
Here
This would be a great way for a character in my book to be introduced. As a nostalgic moment for people who remember this great song! I have such unique concept for surrendering the ego, that it could possibly become an academy award winning film!
I love this song 🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜
We need to memorize this song for our English subject. Our English teacher even added that we will also sing it 😭
Man i really felt that last 🎶ooh ooh🎶
Truly a great song .
Wedding song 😂
Ya I will use it
Hangover movie happy ending type song
Alguien escuchando ésta joya en 2024?❤
