[QUOTE=Vanash Naick;77520]Ek Wil Jou Nooit Weer Sien: André Schwartz: 1995

This song takes me back to 1995. I found myself living at the ‘Van Riebeck Hotel,’ in van derbilj Park for a while. They played this song a lot in the bar of that hotel: The message was pretty clear, sometimes, Afrikaans is the best language to tell a women that you’ve had enough!

No offence taken, brother! You've got to admit though, the music video tells a nice story:-
“Ek wil jou nooit weer sien! Die lewe is te kort daarvoor. Ek wil myself geniet.Daar bly nog duisend vreugdes oor.
Ek wil myself besluit, om nooit ooit weer deur een soos jy te ly. Ek wil jou nooit weer sien!
Toe loop nou.Ek wil jou nooit weer sien!”
If there ever comes a time for me to tell a woman to go, then this is the way to do it!

When the sister's get rid of us, what do they say, normally, 'things are not working out!' But to you things are working out quite well!

Chicago: If you leave me now: 1976
Now, if it’s summative and formative assessment of lyrics, vocals, actual musical instrument being used then Chicago’s ‘If you leave me now,’ has to be revisited. I love this group! They were an original rock band, passionate about music, and actually did stem from Chicago! In this song you’ve got your keyboards, trumpets, guitars, drums. A well- oiled machine of a band!This is as classic, timeless and universal as it gets! This song will never go out of fashion!

If You Leave Me Now Lyrics


“If you leave me now,
you'll take away the biggest part of me

Woo...No baby please don't go

And If you leave me now,
you'll take away the very heart of me

Woo...No baby please don't go

Woo....girl I just want you to stay

A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away
We've come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way
When tomorrow comes and we'll both regret
The Things we said today

(Bridge) (Chorus)

If you leave me now,
you'll take away the biggest part of me
Woo...No baby please don't go


Woo....girl I just got to have you by my side

Woo...No baby please don't go”

I loved 25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago, although it must have some of the worst lead guitar ever recorded. There was a Cape Town band that actually played it better, but I can not remember their name.

When I joined the Prisons Services Band, the guys there were all into Jazz and the closest they came to pop or rock was Chicago, which was their favourite and their alternative to the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. They flipped when they heard my collection of "underground" rock music and soon became converted when they realised that Deep Purple could also play classical music. They were also enthralled by the technical ability of most of the rock musicians when they really started listening to them

Ironically 25 or 6 to 4 was not written by Peter Cetera(He remains my favourite individual member from Chicago, I followed his solo career), it was actually written by Chicago band member Robert Lamm

The duets: I got you Babe: UB40 and Chrissie Hynde


Where were you in 1985? Any good memories?

In 1985, I was coming of age, about to go to High School. I was mesmerized by Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders. She was this really elegant, classy, sexy, well spoken woman!
She stated that "I was never too interested in high school. I mean, I never went to a dance, I never went out on a date, I never went steady. It became pretty awful for me. Except, of course, I could go see bands, and that was the kick. I used to go to Cleveland just to see any band. So I was in love a lot of the time, but mostly with guys in bands that I had never met. For me, knowing that Brian Jones was out there, and later that Iggy Pop was out there, made it kind of hard for me to get too interested in the guys that were around me. I had, uh, bigger things in mind."[1]
I Got you babe was first released by Sonny and Cher in 1965! I remain respectful for any artist that can do justice to an original song as opposed to butchering it!
Now, IN A PUB, UB40 caught their first break when Chrissie Hynde saw them at a pub and gave them an opportunity as a support act to her band, The Pretenders[2]
Why do I like the 1985 rehearsal by UB40 and Chrissie Hynde
1. The rehearsal for the concept demonstrated what true musicians can do, they can bring the magic of the cover version, on the spot, and bring it rather nicely;
I proudly give you “I got you babe,’ UB40 and Chrissie Hynde: Part rehearsal and part concert version


“They say we`re young and we don`t know
Won`t find out till we grow
Well I don`t know baby that`s true
'Cause you got me and baby I got you

(Chorus)

Babe, I got you babe, I got you, Babe.

They say our love won`t pay the rent
Before it`s earned our money`s always spent
I guess that`s so, we don`t have a lot
But at least I`m sure of all the things we got


(Chorus)

Babe, I got you babe, I got you, Babe.
I got flowers in the spring
I got you, to wear my ring
And when I`m sad, you`re a clown
And when I get scared, you`re always around
so let them say your hair`s too long
I don`t care, with you I can`t do wrong
then put your little hand in mine
There ain`t no hill or mountain we can`t climb



Babe, I got you babe, I got you, Babe.


I got you to hold my hand
I got you to understand
I got you to walk with me
I got you to talk with me
I got you to kiss goodnight
I got you to hold me tight
I got you and I won`t let go
I got you to love me so
I got you, babe”

I hate most of the new afrikaans songs. Its so common.."Kaptein span die seile.."

Really!!?? Surely somewhere out there is still an afrikaans singer who can sing better songs than that??

Nicolous Louw, Kurt Darren & Kie. Why do people actually like them??

Old school afrikaans was also better..

Please feel free make some old school Afrikaans lyrics contributions! It will be appreciated! Kurt Darren, I think initially stole the hearts of all young Afrikaans chicks. From what I understand, he was there anser to a Robbie Williams equivalent. I know that he didn't wrire 'Los Lappie,' but I prefer he's version...I think he done that song justice!
I sincerely believe that we should celebrate our diversity! Music brings people together!
I actually also love kwaito, believe it or not, there is one very special Kwaito song, that I will post as soon as I can get my hands on it again! Marleys One love summarises the attitude we should have towards each other!" Let's get together and feel alright!"
"One love, one heart
Let's get together and feel all right
Hear the children crying (One love)
Hear the children crying (One heart)
Sayin', "Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right."
Sayin', "Let's get together and feel all right."

Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (One love)
There is one question I'd really love to ask (One heart)
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own?
Believe me

One love, one heart
Let's get together and feel all right
As it was in the beginning (One love)
So shall it be in the end (One heart)
Alright, "Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right."
"Let's get together and feel all right."
One more thing

Let's get together to fight this Holy Armageddon (One love)
So when the Man comes there will be no, no doom (One song)
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner
There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation

Sayin', "One love, one heart
Let's get together and feel all right."
I'm pleading to mankind (One love)
Oh, Lord (One heart) Whoa.

"Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right."
Let's get together and feel all right." Bob Marley
