Music video by UB40 performing Sing Our Own Song. ub40.global / ub40official / ub40official / ub40official / ub40-official itunes.apple.c... UB40 app available on Apple and Android
Eine wundervolle Zeit mit UB40, leider ist der Werteverlust in der Bevölkerung zu groß, jeder denkt nur noch an Profit und Erfolg, wenn Du heute Bob Marley, Peter Tosch oder UB40 hörst, biste schon fast ein System Feind.
I was in the crowd for this video. As a member of the UB40 FanClub. It was filmed on Ickneild Port Road, Winson Green, Birmingham. Amazing day #Memories 😃🎺🎸🎶🎼💝
@@staceyanrichardson6664 it was many years ago. I was 19 lol. Have you heard of Johnny2Bad the UB40 tribute band? If not try and go see them, they are award winning, fun, have great energy and bring the uniqueness of the UB40 sound due to their local Birmingham roots. www.johnny2bad.live.com 😀🎷🎵🎤🎶
@H This song was a sizeable chart hit in the UK in the summer of 1986. At precisely that time the then South African president PW Botha had invoked a State of Emergency,enabling the use of harsher powers against rioters and protesters. Cue news footage of crowds being scattered and chased by thugs in uniform brandishing shamboks,etc.
The great flood of tears that we've cried For our brothers and sisters who've died Over four hundred years Has washed away our fears And strengthened our pride Now we turn back the tide We will no longer hear your command We will seize the control from your hand We will fan the flame Of our anger and pain And you'll feel the shame For what you do in gods name We will fight for the right to be free We will build our own society And we will sing, we will sing We will sing our own song When the ancient drum rhythms ring The voice of our forefathers sings Forward Africa run Our day of freedom has come For me and for you Amandla Awethu We will fight for the right to be free We will build our own society And we will sing, we will sing We will sing our own song We will fight for the right to be free We will build our own society And we will sing, we will sing We will sing our own song
This song always make me cry for our beloved Africa....and also gives me hope that one day we will be free from corrupt politicians,imperialism,modern day slavery and poverty...
ANGEL productions sorry to say but 30 years later and what's happening around the planet makes me think we're permanently fucked, it's not getting better but more greed than ever, more killing, rape and starving across this planet.
Gwen Lindsay didnt know what to chose..like your coment or diss like..but what ever choises people make..you are so right that it hurts 💔 yet we must never give up hop.
This song is so powerful. UB40 did so much for culture in my country, they are the real representation of the real people. One love, no colour divide, no race divide, we are all equal, we are all brothers and sisters, one love always and forever, so much respect x
But UB40 not the same no more, all because Ali Campbell left due to management issues same as astro and Mickey virtue too! And then Brian Travers died and astro too. Robin Campbell took on new members, but it'll never be the same though especially without Ali!
Amanda Awethu! This song came out just before the end of the hated apartheid! Much love to all our multicoloured sisters and brothers in SA from the Brits that love you!
This is probably my favourite song from ub40 grew up with our parents thrashing them but wouldnt even have a clue what the song was about back then, later on when i actually understood what this song was about, it now lives rent free in me 🖤
South Africa 1987. I am in Martic (Grade 12). We are on the run from the Apartheid police for being labeled Instigators of Violence and accused of trying to overthrow the government. It is one in the morning. We are on our way from a meeting to hide at a teacher's house. This song is playing. We listen with Hope and determination. Amandla Ngawethu ! ( Power to the People) And now we Free.....
Oh Cheryl, Cheryl Cheryl !.... some day you'll comprehend what i said...maybe you should go back to school.... and learn this time....you'll get there.. :)
Writeowl Are you blonde by any change. He said he was listening to the song, not watching utube. He is also speaking of an event in his life, not something off of a video. Coming from South Africa myself, I know exactly what MrCurpy is speaking about. I would suggest you take your own advice! While you're at it, get yourself an education my dear.
But I doubt that will ever happen you know. I remember Ali Campbell saying in a you tube video, he'll never go back to UB40 and remain how he is with his small UB40 band. Robin Campbell took on new members, but it'll never be the same especially without Ali! And furthermore, both Brian Travers and astro died just to make things worse. I actually met astro briefly, and also Brian Travers and their manager at the time Paul hunter at their studio in fazeley street just past Birmingham city center just over 20 years ago, but their studio isn't there no more, got demolished, it was called d.e.p international. It was still quite new though, it hadn't long been renovated. Oh and I've also met norman Hassan twice, at the studio before it got renovated 31 years ago, and I saw him again coming out of Trafalgar road balsall heath waiting at the traffic lights on junction of alcester road/Brighton road in his range rover nearly 30 years ago. From Roger.
Absolutely worship these song about Ur rights and the African freedom and release ov Nelson Mandela x freedom and rights very moving song worship ub40 I am 51 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Pasaran años y años, y este clásico de UB40 tendrá el mismo encanto vigente desde que se escuchó por primera vez. Es transportable y da alegría permanente al corazón.
I was at the concert" Rat in the kitchen" tour 1986 Wembley , good mix of all race and generations all loving this music ( I was 15).. Think UB40 have done more to unite creed and colour than most elected politicians have . I am now 46 and I still see corrupt goverments forcing agendas that crush the average man/woman and cause divisions for political gain.= or hidden agenda's. We need more bands like UB40 to sing out for mass's
Good night Astro, hope you are gigging "upstairs" with Brian. UB40 songs were the anthem of my youth in Kings Heath, Birmingham UK. Rear easy. ♥️❤️♥️ Much love.
Been a UB40 fan for so many years and then when I visited Birmingham around 4 years ago (ish) I was in a pub and met Brian Travers and I recognised him but couldnt think where from and so I just assumed he had one of them familiar faces and chatted away for a while with him. Then I get back hom and the penny dropped where I knew him from and I was like wooooaaaahh He was an absolute gentleman and I hope I get the chance to meet him again one day when I'm back down there and tell him how much I appreciate his music
ok I was never fully committed to the lyrics, i just absolutely love the intro and the vibe of this sing. but now the penny has dropped it makes me very emotional.
I don't think songs like Dream A Lie, My Own Way of Thinking, The Pillow, etc were covers. Lots of originals, which I much preferred to the covers on the Labour of Love series.
King,Food For Thought,The Earth Dies Screaming,Don't Let it Pass You By,One in Ten,Don't Break My Heart (at least I don't think that was a cover),Rat in My Kitchen and so many others.
Oh wow never heard this live version! Amandla Awethu! Africa is the home of us all, like a mother but less cared for. This fills my whole heart with joy!!!!
As a As a South African, this song hits hard. The world helped fight for our freedom, a freedom that is relative. Our country is the most unequal society in the world. Life is cheap, and we have the highest statistics of rape and violence against women globally. All of this could have been eradicated were it not for the corruption of the ruling party. There is still a great flood of tears that we cry. May the politicians feel ashamed for what they do in God's name.
I Swear the kind of resolve I see in Ali as he sings "The voice of our forefathers sing" makes me completely forget the color of his skin and focus on the basic human clamor and right to be free. One of the greatest lyricists who ever lived!
@@alexbrown1864 I am an old soul, I feel I don't connect with today's generation type of music and I will never get tired of listening to such good music like UB40's till am old and grey...! 😅
Good call Jenny....you should get the earphones on a listen to a bit of Stevie wonder.....Donna summer......my music is my life I'm totally wide open to anything...💕
Just as UB40 were Signing Off in 1981, I was signing on at the same dole office in Moseley, Birmingham. We almost crossed paths. They have been my heroes since I saw them live at Nottingham University in June 1981, when I graduated. Great local heroes.
This is not British this what comes from many different Races that Ancestors came from some where else getting together and telling their stories. This song is not about England
As spiritual beings made from the source of LOVE.. let's find our way back to union with all ...through one thing that unites us aLL.... MUSIC...our natural state.....the Universal language.....
Wow what a song I hd this song when I was a teenager and I felt in love with the song,, I came across this song again yesterday and am madly in love with the song I felt like the first tyme when I herd it I really connecting with those teens in this video I felt like I was among,, big Love to Ali champel and then team I believe I will meet u in person in life tyme 🤝
Lyrics The great flood of tears that we've cried For our brothers and sisters who've died Over four hundred years Has washed away our fears And strengthened our pride Now we turn back the tide We will no longer hear your command We will seize the control from your hand We will fan the flame Of our anger and pain And you'll feel the shame For what you do in gods name We will fight for the right to be free We will build our own society And we will sing, we will sing We will sing our own song When the ancient drum rhythms ring The voice of our forefathers sings Forward Africa run Our day of freedom has come For me and for you Amandla Awethu We will fight for the right to be free We will build our own society And we will sing, we will sing We will sing our own song We will fight for the right to be free We will build our own society And we will sing, we will sing We will sing our own song
2019 I'm here We will no longer hear your command We will seize the control from your hand We will fan the flame Of our anger and pain And you'll feel the shame For what you do in gods name We will fight for the right to be free We will build our own society And we will sing, we will sing We will sing our own song
Absolutely brilliant in 2024, the 80's were great.

This song means more now than ever before, not just for Africa but world wide, who else feels it?
Drop a like if your ready and tired of the bull
Amandla awethu ✊️
I’m applying it to the covid monsters. We are free people.
I agree with you 100%
Now more than ever
The great flood of tears that we've cried
For our brothers and sisters who've died
Over four hundred years
Has washed away our fears
And strengthened our pride
Now we turn back the tide
We will no longer hear your command
We will seize the control from your hand
We will fan the flame
Of our anger and pain
And you'll feel the shame
For what you do in gods name
We will fight for the right to be free
We will build our own society
And we will sing, we will sing
We will sing our own song
When the ancient drum rhythms ring
The voice of our forefathers sings
Forward Africa run
Our day of freedom has come
For me and for you
Amandla Awethu
We will fight for the right to be free
We will build our own society
And we will sing, we will sing
We will sing our own song
We will fight for the right to be free
We will build our own society
And we will sing, we will sing
We will sing our own song
Powerful words right there!
Beautiful
Sincerest thanks Izzy
Wow lovely song let's take Control

Not only Africa but every country should be free of the diseases afore mentioned

This song is as relevant today as ever
Lee Green
God only knows how many times I heard that beautiful song althought my favorite music style is rock / hard rock.
A 80's gem.
I'm a Brummie and an African and so proud of UB 40. This track is their best to date.
The Portland Club was in Birmingham, UK, the original band on home turf, makes me proud to be a 'Brummie'. One love y'all.
And tonight ,goodnight Astro, RIP
This song is so powerful. UB40 did so much for culture in my country, they are the real representation of the real people. One love, no colour divide, no race divide, we are all equal, we are all brothers and sisters, one love always and forever, so much respect x

This is how songs should be written.

I was about to say there was no way you could, as Rat in Mi Kitchen was 1990s but ye gods... 1986/7!
I worked at Wembley Arena as a barman on that UB40 tour in 1986! 😀👍 it was great.
This is a time-travelling song. Timeless relevance.
Good night Astro, hope you are gigging "upstairs" with Brian. UB40 songs were the anthem of my youth in Kings Heath, Birmingham UK.
Rear easy. ♥️❤️♥️ Much love.
Makes us Brummies proud 💯 UB40 👌
And so you should, artists from the Birmingham area are held in high regard entertaining millions around the world.
much respect from Jamaica...just found out today u owned this one.my lead singer

One of the best songs of ub40 .
Probably thee best as it was theirs, most of their other songs were copies of the original... Before you beat me down, I'm a lifelong UB40 fan.....

I remember one moment in 1986 when I heard this song for the fifth or sixth time and suddenly realising how brilliant it was.
This song is timeless. Grew up listening to these guy. Incredible. Takes me back.
sobbed to this last night, Gary Davies did a tribute to Astro....rest in peace fella.....words mean so much more now *X*
R.I.P BT SON... 😔 WHAT A UNIQUE GUY HE WAS.. LVZYA LEWIE 💜💙
This song units all people. No matter you,re skin colour.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE ....this song...brings memories ....lovvvve it
As a As a South African, this song hits hard. The world helped fight for our freedom, a freedom that is relative. Our country is the most unequal society in the world. Life is cheap, and we have the highest statistics of rape and violence against women globally. All of this could have been eradicated were it not for the corruption of the ruling party. There is still a great flood of tears that we cry. May the politicians feel ashamed for what they do in God's name.
I am not a fan of the word EVERGREEN but this is exactly what this song is. For me, it's just perfect...
Anyone listening 2020?,During this corona pandemic
Yes! From Holland!

Yes, 16 June, youth day in South Africa. In honour of the Soweto riots in 1976, where Police shot at school kids. 🇿🇦✊🏽

One of my favourite ub40 songs.A powerful and passionate song with lyrics that still sound so relevant.
Yes.
Great song. Cry our beloved country 😢. From South Africa. 🥲🥲🥲🥲
I Swear the kind of resolve I see in Ali as he sings "The voice of our forefathers sing" makes me completely forget the color of his skin and focus on the basic human clamor and right to be free.
One of the greatest lyricists who ever lived!

Our freedom song now✌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽❤
Love the Bass line to this song, remember getting the cassette when it was banned in South Africa
Ub40 the greatest reggae band of all time 💪💪💪🙏
I remember this song today. After a failed electoral process in Nigeria today.
This song just takes me back to my teen years. I just wanna cry thinking about my circumstances back then.
never get olds. even after 400 years goosebumps will be there as same as now ❤️
I will Always love this song of ub40!
reminds me back in the 80s when i was young and music was music
April 17 23 I'm listening this wonderful song and I'm still praying for Mama Africa ❤❤
Love this track, good to see Ali playing a Roland SH101 synthesizer. Legend!
Especially since those things are heavy!
Music doesn't have any color, race or religion...
This is perfect example of British culture
As British myself I can say that many many Brits are quite racist
@@candycandygirl7433 and many more are not
UB40 truly are a fantastic band, Ali Campbell’s voice is so unique.
@@candycandygirl7433 silly comment....you know 68 million people, persoanlly do you?
This is not British this what comes from many different Races that Ancestors came from some where else getting together and telling their stories.
This song is not about England
ub40 - who you fighting for. REVOLUTION!!.
I love how Norman and Astro dance together on this.
I loved it too.
One of the best songs they made. I seen them live in Nottingham and it was brilliant.
Rest In Peace Brian Travers 🎷
As spiritual beings made from the source of LOVE.. let's find our way back to union with all ...through one thing that unites us aLL.... MUSIC...our natural state.....the Universal language.....
Nr 1 song in the world, can we go back to these kind off peacefull songs pls? Ow how i long for that so much.
was at the club in Birmingham that day three amazing singers backing in jackie graham ,mo birch and ruby turner
Lucky you!
3 great backing singers indeed
Was the chanting at the end planned in advance? Or did the crowd do it by themselves?
You still rock baby...2019 are you there!!!

Lyrics
The great flood of tears that we've cried
For our brothers and sisters who've died
Over four hundred years
Has washed away our fears
And strengthened our pride
Now we turn back the tide
We will no longer hear your command
We will seize the control from your hand
We will fan the flame
Of our anger and pain
And you'll feel the shame
For what you do in gods name
We will fight for the right to be free
We will build our own society
And we will sing, we will sing
We will sing our own song
When the ancient drum rhythms ring
The voice of our forefathers sings
Forward Africa run
Our day of freedom has come
For me and for you
Amandla Awethu
We will fight for the right to be free
We will build our own society
And we will sing, we will sing
We will sing our own song
We will fight for the right to be free
We will build our own society
And we will sing, we will sing
We will sing our own song
RIP MATIBA WHAT A MAN LOVE NELSON MANDELA ,FROM ENGLAND )))!!!
Dammmm tears running down!
2019 I'm here
We will no longer hear your command
We will seize the control from your hand
We will fan the flame
Of our anger and pain
And you'll feel the shame
For what you do in gods name
We will fight for the right to be free
We will build our own society
And we will sing, we will sing
We will sing our own song
But look what the power has given to you,,more poverty, corruption and greedy politicians stealing from the poor!
Powerful
Astro always in our hearts. 🙏🙏
Astro willed be sadly missed!
November 2020 and still loving the sounds of UB40. 1 of my all time favourite bands ❤️❤️❤️
Probably one of the top 5 songs UB40 produced. Such an excellent band. Shame about the split but c'est la vie.
