CRUCIFY YOUR MIND
Was it a huntsman or a player
That made you pay the cost
That now assumes relaxed positions
And prostitutes your loss?
Were you tortured by your own thirst
In those pleasures that you seek
That made you Tom the curious
That makes you James the weak?
And you claim you got something going
Something you call unique
But I've seen your self-pity showing
As the tears rolled down your cheeks
Soon you know I'll leave you
And I'll never look behind
'Cos I was born for the purpose
That crucifies your mind
So con, convince your mirror
As you've always done before
Giving substance to shadows
Giving substance ever more
And you assume you got something to offer
Secrets shiny and new
But how much of you is repetition
That you didn't whisper to him too
Just watched American animal's and heard this, what a freaking tune I love the tune the lyrics and his voice, I just can't stop playing it just listen to the emotion in his voice and the natural voice. Love it
This is just another one of his songs. They’re all this good
That just happened to me. I just got done watching it, in fact the credits are still rolling and this song came on and I just loved it. I see myself getting drunk to this a lot in the future.
I love you Rod your humility your ability your way of being not changed by fame and your amazing talent , I thank you for your music maestro
' The English ' brought me here - never heard of Sixto Rodriguez up until that point - slightly Dylanesque with a better voice - I like it .
The English was where I heard this song too. Love it. Never heard of Rodriquez before but now I have 3 CD's with his awesome songs.
Beautiful song - RUclipsrs should search for the film documentary " Searching For Sugarman " to see just what this talented guy has been through.
Searching for Sugar Man tells the incredible true story of Rodriguez, the greatest '70s rock icon who never was. Discovered in a Detroit bar in the late '60s by two celebrated producers struck by his soulful melodies and prophetic lyrics, they recorded an album which they believed would secure his reputation as the greatest recording artist of his generation. In fact, the album bombed and the singer disappeared into obscurity amid rumors of a gruesome on-stage suicide. But a bootleg recording found its way into apartheid South Africa and, over the next two decades, he became a phenomenon. The film follows the story of two South African fans who set out to find out what really happened to their hero. Their investigation leads them to a story more extraordinary than any of the existing myths about the artist known as Rodriguez. --
Rodriguez has lived in the same modest Detroit house for over 40 years. He has no car, computer or even a television. His daughter Regan forced him to get a cellphone a few years ago because she grew weary of driving around the neighborhood trying to track him down. "He lives a very Spartan life," says Regan. "I almost want to call it Amish. He once told me there's three basic needs - food, clothing and shelter. Once you get down to that level, everything else is icing."
The documentary won 40 prizes on different festivals

Malik Bendjelloul's untimely death at the age of 36 came just a year after he won an Academy Award for his ground-breaking documentary 'Searching for Sugar Man' and initially bewildered many friends.
But those close to Bendjelloul witnessed a dramatic change of attitude in recent months, as the Swedish director dealt with his new-found celebrity and struggled to find another passion project.
'I know he had been depressed for a short period and depression is something you can die from,' his older brother Johar Bendjelloul announced the following day. 'But the question of why, no one can answer; it will ache in my chest the rest of my life.'
There is a small shrine of sorts for Malik Bendjelloul in the downtown Stockholm offices of Swedish Television, near a blue neon sign that says Kobra -- a memento that Bendjelloul himself bought for his colleagues years ago. The shrine consists of two small pictures, three candles and a black condolence book whose pages are empty. "Nobody dares sign it because we all think he's going to come back," says his former colleague Magnusson. But the real shrine is elsewhere -- in that massive, soundproofed room at the end of a series of hallways that feels more like an airline hangar: the R6 editing vault.
Inside there are two pianos, a table with an editing suite in a corner, a large mirror and a mortarboard where pictures can be tacked and hung. Once the doors close, the room is utterly silent, a womb for creativity and reflection. It was here that Bendjelloul spent the years of his apprenticeship as a visual artist, perfecting the craft that ultimately would allow him to undertake his epic search for "Sugar Man" and, because all great art is a reflection of the artist, too, the search for himself with such force of will and unerring exactitude. The silence and isolation of R6 was both Bendjelloul's refuge and his inspiration. And as soon as time permits, the staff of Kobra, many of whom accompanied him on his journey, will place a single brass plaque there with the room's new name.
It will say, very simply: Studio Malik.
