to me this song represents the UK. My mother was from the UK, i was born in London, yet I have lived most of my life in Italy. My grandmother lived in a council flat in Isleworth, and the connection between neighbours, milkman, ice-cream van and butcher is what always made feel the UK was a better place to live...this song reminds me of that feeling of unity and reciprocal help that got the UK through the war and what followed, too bad it has all faded into nothing ....
People help the people And if you're homesick, give me your hand and I'll hold it People help the people Nothing will drag you down Oh and if I had a brain, Oh and if I had a brain I'd be cold as a stone and rich as a fool That turned all those good hearts away Az emberek segítenek az embereken És ha honvágyad van Add a kezed, én majd megfogom Az emberek segítenek az embereken És semmi nem fog letörni Ó ha egy kicsivel is több eszem lenne Ó ha egy kicsivel és több eszem lenne Hideg lennék, mint egy kő, és nagyon gazdag Ami minden jó embert elfordítana
Brano struggente....più che mai attuale. Le persone, oggi più che mai, in un mondo fatto di guerre volute dai potenti, le persone vere, pure di cuore, che non si vendono ai poteri forti, devono aiutarsi. Noi non abbiamo "un cervello e non siamo stolti"....ma abbiamo un cuore e le nostre mani sono tese verso gli altri, pronte a stringere altre mani. Il mondo ha bisogno di pace e mani da stringere.......non di guerre. Grazie Jim per averci regalato questo momento di vera arte e poesia pura. Poignant song .... more relevant than ever. People, today more than ever, in a world made up of wars wanted by the powerful, real people, pure of heart, who do not sell themselves to the strong powers, must help themselves. We do not have "a brain and we are not fools" .... but we have a heart and our hands are outstretched towards others, ready to hold others never. The world needs peace and hands to shake ....... not wars.
@@anitamadacsi1036 Avicii a kedvenc előadóm, a Heaven pedig a már évek óta kedvenc számom, már a hivatalos megjelenés előtt is rengeteget hallgattam. Az előző kommentemkor valószínűleg még nem raktam össze, hogy Simon énekel abban a két dalban. A hivatalos verzión ugyan már Chris Martin énekel, de én valahogy az ő hangjával jobban szeretem. Az Avicii emlékkoncerten viszont kellemes meglepetés volt ismét őt látni énekelni:)
It was pretty big .. Birdy covered it, amongst others .. its also been used in more than one advert, and is currently backing the trailers for a forthcoming programme .. Simon also sung this in the studio at Glastonbury when it was released, and in recent years he's written for some of the big names in music ..
This was written when Simon was aka Cherry Ghost .. it's on the album Thirst for Romance .. he's written for some of the big names in music, and worked with Avicii, amongst others ..
Such an underrated artist

Beautifully put
One of my favourite bands of all time. Wish they were still touring.
An English poet posing as a musician .. Just an amazing talent..
Terrific.
Absolutely Fabulous song. I had the pleasure to see it live once in Dublin when they supported the Manics
One of the greatest songs ever written
Just beautiful. The definitive version, for me.
What a fantastic song and a great performance so love this
tanta roba...
I'm so happy to have found this ...Thank you ❤
There's an upload of Simon Aldred singing this with a guitar, sitting in a field on his own. It's so pure I love it.
Whats the title so i can search it. ❤
@@andrewpearson4772 It's this one. th-cam.com/video/_0VylU5iLN8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=LKxl_nVIB60i5LHR
My favourite song. I Love Simon Aldred.
Good voice
People help the people
And if you're homesick,
give me your hand and I'll hold it
People help the people
Nothing will drag you down
Oh and if I had a brain,
Oh and if I had a brain
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as a fool
That turned all those good hearts away
Az emberek segítenek az embereken
És ha honvágyad van
Add a kezed, én majd megfogom
Az emberek segítenek az embereken
És semmi nem fog letörni
Ó ha egy kicsivel is több eszem lenne
Ó ha egy kicsivel és több eszem lenne
Hideg lennék, mint egy kő, és nagyon gazdag
Ami minden jó embert elfordítana
Beagle help the beagle 🐶
Tricky dicky…
What’s the chord we’re he sings ‘all those good hearts away.. I know it’s a diminished, but I can’t quite get it, ha. Boss song.
Ah got it it’s b7 😄
Simon Aldred è un autore e cantante meraviglioso

Elképesztő hangja van és milyen sokan nem tudják hol adta még a hangját ....
hol?:)
@@b.kristof98Szia Avicii például. Waiting for love, Heaven..

Imagine this with big strings amazing
Best song ever written?
i'm obsessed ❤️🔥
What a song! What a voice! What a composer!
Fantastic.should have been huge

Did they do any other tracks for this? I assume they must have done but can't find any. How frustrating.

A song for now.. So much.
Genius
