@kidhameli. Only MC Water Water(he's the one that sounds a little like ODB) passed away in a car accident. I'm the Drummer on this, and "Karma Hotel". Thanks for all the kind comments everyone!
Ho-ly-sh-it! I've been searching for this song for YEARS now, nobody could help me and I nearly gave up... and now here it is. My childhood memories (especially sitting in my parents car) are so strong with this one. 🖤
same here. I only knew that there was something with an ambulance or similar in the video. l actually didn't search for it for years and didnt think about it any more because I just didnt findt it. Some days ago a german twitch streamer got it as a backround song and shazam found it by recording it for like 2 seconds. Years of searching and waiting just unexpectedly ended.
@@Flo1337 The feeling of finding a song that never really left the brain and the heart is absolutely amazing. Happy for you my friend. :-) We did it. lol
I heard this song about 5-7 years ago when I was driving to Florida, the chorus was in the back of my mind for years. I finally decided to look it up, and I'm so glad I did...I love this song, it's real music.
I just love watching Laurence slowly carrying the gurney, exchanging looks with the nurse, and quietly sipping his coffee. Such good non-verbal acting there. Lots of melancholy and resignation, hoping for a better life. I remember this video since childhood.
Really talks about this song, but it is consistently a certified banger of an absolute jam. one of the most underrated songs I've ever heard in my entire life
one of the greatest songs ever ! hearing this again after 10 years its even better than the day it was released... and now compare the fugees and spooks to modern songs /bands...you cant because this is music the world hasnt seen for many years
I was 10 when this first came out and i loved this group growin up. But it takes some life experiences to fully distil the lyrical genius and the depth of this track. Wow. Blown away.
Yeah, this joint was a banger. They were good, the spooks. Damn, it kinda sucked that they didn't have a mainstream career. But doesn't define how great they sounded as group. Reminds me, the roots and probably black eyed peas are the only avante garde rap groups, incorporating more dynamic musical texture, that holds the torch of mainstream success for cliques like this. Always appreciate unconvential rap groups that at least got a moment to share it to the world. Big up the Spooks.
Chameleon Nadae That whole CD was awesome. They "touched" mainstream a little, but the truth is, there were too good for mainstream. People want something easy, they don't want to think.
+Chameleon Nadae They disbanded not long after the death of a founding member and the release of their second album. It seems there was a slew of things going on with them.
[Chorus:] You won't believe the things I've seen Far beyond your wildest dreams I've seen chaos and order reign supreme I've seen the beauty of the universe so peaceful and serene in seconds turn to violence and screams Life! Your heart is one with your brain Emotional or reason, now which one do you obey? Life! Somebody callin you insane When overwhelmed and blessed, burst in tears of happiness
Certain songs are special to certain people coz they mean something at a certain time...this is a snap shot of a time that holds so many good memories for me...it will travel with me for the rest of my life!

I remember crying while watching this video when i was young, but then in France they replaced it with the other version maybe because they thought it was too intense for child to watch it, and this one got stuck in my head since now. Thanks, i guess i found out why i always wanted to work in a morgue!
Souvenirs souvenirs j'étais enfant quand cette musique est sortie je l'écoute toujours depuis 🖤🖤🖤 Memories memories I was a child when this music came out I have always listened to it since 🖤🖤🖤
Wow! This one had always been my third fave on the album behind Sweet Revenge and The Mission, but seeing the video for the first time makes me truly appreciate it in a whole new light. What an incredible, lovely, haunting, and disturbing song, and what a great video that sums it all up! Thanks SO much for uploading this. Ming, your vocal talents are incredible!
Spooks was a hip-hop/R&B group active in the late 1990s. After attaining success throughout Europe with their record S.I.O.S.O.S., Vol. 1, Spooks garnered a hit with the single "Things I've Seen" (featured in the Laurence Fishburne film Once in the Life). Water-Water left the group before their second album Faster Than You Know and died in a car accident shortly before the album's release. The group disbanded soon afterwards, with little heard from the members since.
Great lyrics, tight delivery, the female vocalist is VERY attractive, & Lawrence Fishburne is in the video to boot, epic win! The other version of this is still my fave of the two though.

There should be more songs like this nowadays. Unfortunately, it seems that those times are gone. Classy song! R.I.P. Water Water.
They were over exzellent.❤❤❤❤
This older version is better than the version filmed in the tunnel (clip).

So ein Hammer Song, noch genau so gut wie damals als ich es noch auf VHS hatte....
Great tune. After all these years, this song still gets me.

2024 j'écoute toujours ❤❤❤
one of the best conceptual hip hop music videos ever made!! definitely a must own album for any true hip hop lover.
Better than ever, still lovin this track in 2021
This year I'm dancing on this song with my dance group, it's a really cool song and a cool dance.
Really talks about this song, but it is consistently a certified banger of an absolute jam. one of the most underrated songs I've ever heard in my entire life
RIP Water-Water. Gone but not forgotten...

prefer this video to the other one, it's just so dark and creepy.
Not to mention relevant
"Things I've Seen" Most played song in Europe in 2000" Man, those were the days.
One of the best songs ever...

Maybe the Fugees and Diagable Planets fall into this category as well
@@alr.3137 Oh yeah, fa' sho'. I mean really De la soul and tribe as well. Word!
love her voice
one of the best songs i have ever listen to.......thx from germany :P
[Chorus:]
You won't believe the things I've seen
Far beyond your wildest dreams
I've seen chaos and order reign supreme
I've seen the beauty of the universe
so peaceful and serene
in seconds turn to violence and screams
Life! Your heart is one with your brain
Emotional or reason, now which one do you obey?
Life! Somebody callin you insane
When overwhelmed and blessed, burst in tears of happiness
Oh man I dig this song since it first came out... so beautiful, painful, deep... so good that it still hurts in my soul...
I still love this song!! the best!!!!!!ever!!! This is hip hop. not this new bull...
Awesome. Prefer this video to the other one. Still listen to Spooks all the time...
ahh an old classic.. i used to stay up late wen i was little and this video would only come on then.. i'm glad i got to hear a great song
This song can be listened even 300 years later . Its amazing .
Can't stop listening. Can't stop viewing. I only wish I could round up a group even half as talented as the Spooks crew.
This song brings me back to the 80's the things I've seen and I was one of the lucky ones...never served a day
Storytelling in music is awesome sauce, throughout all genres.
This tunes brings back great memory's wen I was doing 8yr in wheatfeild prison.

Love this Video along with Karma Hotel. Now this is Hip Hop Kids !!!!!!
I wish this group would have had a longer run. They were all talented.
I feel this song is dedicated to the corona virus. True heroes are the health workers here, respect to all of them.
Love this song, and the rest of the album!
music needs groups like this now more than ever
such a great song 🔥👍✨ couldn't find it either like many here - thanks to the song identifier apps it was easy

Wow Napster was the first to let me hear this great song, also great it’s the original version!!!
Thanks for this. Haven't heard it in a while.
Definitely prefer this version of the song....Cool to see Laurence Fishburne in the video too!
souvenir souvenir
i love this song
The best songs........
YES ! I won't believe the things you've seen ...
Thanks a lot for uploading this song ! I'm loving it !!!
Yo this song/video used to creep tf outta me as a kid. I looked it up to see if it gives the same effect.. It does. As an adult..
Wow! Good shit.. bring back memories of something called "HIPHOP".. when music and rappers actually made sense
Great lyrics, tight delivery, the female vocalist is VERY attractive, & Lawrence Fishburne is in the video to boot, epic win! The other version of this is still my fave of the two though.
Great throwback
tres belle chanson! i love it
classic song from a group of real emcees, with real hiphop embedded in their veins.
fuck yeaaah
This is no Hip Hop! THIS IS EPIC! Roots, Spooks and Fugees, this is all the awesome stuff. Go back to the Roots guys, to the Roots! =)
me neither! it was a huge hit when it came out back then!
