(Lyrics):
[Verse 1: David Paich]
I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, 12:30 flight
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
"Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you"
[Chorus: Bobby Kimball]
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (Ooh)
[Verse 2: David Paich]
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become
[Chorus: Bobby Kimball]
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
[Bridge: Both]
Hurry, boy, she's waiting there for you
[Chorus: Bobby Kimball]
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rains)
I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rains)
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa (Gonna take the time)
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

Hurry boy she's waiting there for you

Bless the rains down in Africa

I live in Africa! 🌍
Crazy how this song almost didn't come to light because the producer thought the meaning of the song was odd. Then bam. One of the most iconic songs of all time.
What is the meaning of the song, anyway?
I know its crazy
I LOVE THIS SONG ❤ SO MUCH
My twin sister Anita watched a series named Big Cat Diary. She loved a little lion cub named TOTO. Anita is in heaven now but I love everything she loved even TOTO!!! Loved

Jesus's Awesome Love Shines Through This Song! Amen! 🌍
“Africa” is well deserved to be called “a Masterpiece”, beyond time, distance and even race.

Toto, africa 1985 Grammy award, best song of the year.... Love you
I’ve had this song stuck in my head for the past few days after one of my teachers played it. I don’t regret a thing.
Grand song. 😇
Good teacher! 👏🏽
This is the mad notes !
I love this song, but what is the meaning of the words
For the past few decades for me. 🖤
The production, instrumentation, and writing is phenomenal. Timeless music
Absolutely 1:54
My wife is from Africa. She has told me so many memories of this song when she was young.
I lived in Africa for two years. Toto nailed it in every way!!
Welcome back 🙏
I live in England. North Hertfordshire. This song was written by God.
It's Heavenly❣
Why you yappin about it where you’re from how is that relevant to this song 😭
That man from England was expressing his feelings, and how it he can relate northern England to Africa.
You should listen.
@@adamdriver1016 he said nothing about relating England to Africa 💀
@@galacticgecko1144
Because youre too ignorant to appreciate a persons love of a song. And you want to ruin his perfectly lovely comment.
Used to listen to this song when i was 4yrs old...... I am 34yrs old now. 😢🥺 (Nostalgic) Africa will forever be imprinted in my veins ❤
I love listening to this masterpiece on a rainy summer evening as the sun is going down
Sounds like a vibe
me, contrary. I love listening this to the sunset hahahah
I BLESS THE RAINS DOWN IN AFRICA
Legends!! One of my fave tracks for half a century. Past 48 years of my whole existence, it still sounds absolutely amazing, and always will, to my very last moment on earth.
Well put 1:03
This is absolutely the best song to listen to when being relaxed in mountains and landscapes that are so calming.
The song itself is so calming.
No matter where you live, it’s more of the journey in living and passion what we enjoy 😊 doing
No matter how many years pass, this song will stay in our hearts FOREVER!! Classic never die...
It’s like just close your eyes and let the 80’s wash over you…
Damn
Hmmm Nice 2:18
David Piache is one of the best musician/ songwriters of the 70s and 80s , the whole toto group is without question one of the most important groups in history
I'm South African. This song screams to me.
The bass line throughout the song is great.
🎼 It's 2024 who's still listening to this amazing song?🎶🙋🏾
I love it!!!!
Blow this comment up so I can listen to this once a day ❤
Edit: I have so many good memory's with this song. So KEEP THEM LIKES COMIN!!!!!
Ok
No, but listen again
No
Nah
Yes captin!!! 😖
To think that this was at first considered "B side" music material by Toto.. unbelievable.
It’s worse than that. The rest of the band didn’t like the song, they didn’t understand the lyrics. Paich considered dropping the song from the album and save it for a solo project that would come some time later. But perhaps an angel suddenly passed through the studio and had the band eventually cut the song. The rest is history as they say 😊
PERFECT HARMONY 2:48
2024 n listening on.......
This is one of the greatest songs of all time ❤
Now I do agree however I think it stinks a little. Haha only kidding 😂 Thank you for the comment though ❤
❤❤ wild dogs!
Yay🐺
It’s something about the sound 80’s music produces that make it sound uniquely identifiable to the decade and this song is the masterpiece that ties it all together
Nostalgia always hit rly hard with this song for some reason, one of the best songs ever
just amazing vibes 2024!!
The lines “I know I must do what’s right” and “I seek to cure what’s deep inside, frightened of this thing I’ve become”
They describe a constant struggle in myself
I’m happy to say that I’m winning that struggle, but it’s a battle.
You need Jesus if you ain't got him already.
JK! 😉 I don't believe in that monstrous nonsense
(scientific notation = N to the Mth)
Goosebumps every time!!
Few songs are as soothingly healing & relaxing in all that they evoke, for such peacefully contemplative reflection overtakes me every time I hear it, it lifts me up & beyond all while taking me to places & realms that my eyes have never seen, making me feel far more alive & vibrant & spiritual. More human.
This masterpiece, in all its glorious timelessness, has that beautifully transcendent effect upon me, helping to purify my soul as most of my worries fade away.
What sublime exaltation, what magically endearing serenity, what mesmerized wonder, what loving detachment from the madness of it all, what mystically sweet sensations have flooded all throughout my essence, what wonderfully primitive sensibilities burst from deep within, what freedom of thought & moving around to foreign landscapes to explore & marvel at, what rapture. This song! Amazing!
I'm 11 and i've been listening since five. LOVE it
I'm 65 and glad you love our 70s. Music
I’m 42 and my 12 year old daughter loves this song, too :)
I'm 16 and I've been listening since I was 12 years old
2024 and still listening ....you guys *heart this * so I can always be reminded of this beautiful piece ❤❤❤
2024 still here 😊
An iconic song from an Amazing era...
È inevitabile che ascoltando questo pezzo i miei ricordi volino a quei primi anni '80.......la gioventù, la vita davanti, la meravigliosa sensazione di avere il mondo tra le mani. Mi rivedo con i miei capelli lunghi assieme ai numerosi amici di quei tempi, quando ci si incontrava per il puro piacere di stare assieme.......... Ci si confidava, ci si confrontava. Si condivideva tutto : sogni, speranze, gioie, dolori, vittorie e sconfitte. Persino i dischi e le magliette.
Sono stato fortunato, ho avuto degli amici fantastici. Molti di loro sono ancora al mio fianco, parecchi, invece, si sono persi per strada. Ma sempre vivi nel ricordo
I'm in Missouri and I'm Listening to this Cool Song. I'm Old School and Staying Here. ❤😊
ok
Always loved this song right from being a Child, I'm now 46 and still one of my all time favourite songs!
I'll be 50 in July & this is still one of my favorite songs when I was younger
My 13 year old son and I are going to see them in 2 months! So excited!!
Enjoy❤
Truly a great song .

My ex boyfriend used to work in a big department store in the electrical department selling stereos etc. When demonstrating them he used to play this song really loudly and people would always buy one because everyone loves this song.
Ew

1:08 best part
africa
Who else members this song? Cause I member.
Love music❤😊
Love this song ❤️
Easily one of the best songs that has been
Out for a long time plus it’s just great in general
Awesome song.
Smoking up and listening to this banger 💨
I'm one of those people that miss hear lyrics. I thought this song went,
' I miss the rains down in Africa.' Otherwise, the instrumentals give the song its own vibe. It's smooth and tells a story. Very individual.
oh i thought it was "i guess the rains down in africa" for the years i have been listening to it
I thought that it was “I guess Lorraine’s down in Africa”
In Thabazimbi, South Africa tonight listening to this. It means more now.l
When I was a kid I always thought it said, "I catch some waves down in Africa"
I always thought the song was about surfing, 😂
I used to think it was 100 men on Mars
When I listen to this song I always hear, " there's nothing that a hundred men on Mars could ever do." I think I like my version better, lol.
I thought that too until yesterday 😂😂😂 I also thought it said “I guess the rains down in Africa”
When I was a kid and this came out, I thought it was "There's nothing that a hundred men on board could ever do". For years until I found out what they were saying I couldn't reconcile what a bunch of sailors at sea had to do with the African Savanah. 😂
Incredible song for relax
BEAUTYFULL...
I bless the rains down in Africa
I love dis song
I love this song
Every time I'm in a bad mood I think of the art installation that someone literally put somewhere in a desert in the middle of Africa that plays this song on endless repeat, forever, powered by the sun. And then I chuckle. (And yes, that is a real thing. Look it up!)
Anyone in 2024?
me
Me too
Again, yes I've this song❤
Here here! My 6 year old has fallen in love with it.
Here
Africa. Where all it came from❤
Wrong. It all came from the moon and Antarctica
Added this song to my playlist because it’s been stuck in my head. Best decision
Boujour bien
The feeling when you discover a song that was made decades ago but it’s new to you: 😎😎
Makes me think of a dark, shadowy forest in africa during pangaea which dinosaurs existed
I thought the Philippines is the most depressed country in the world but hearing this song..Philippines is luckier than Africa...God bless Africa.
To be revealed now, who is Their Man, show!
Sir Mike Enriquez bring me here because this song is one of his favorites
This is a great song .
Im from the philippines 62 years old but still listening this kind of unforgetable songs of the 80's
Beautiful song🎵
I confess this music is so gorgeous it kinda deserved some more profoiund lyrics, about the majesty of the clear nighhts on the Serengheti, out in Africa....
Toto began life musically in 1977
I love this song 🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜
Erano i migliori anni
