Love Youssou on this track. Incredible vox.
I thought it was ironic how much the church protested the movie. I thought it was a fascinating exploration about and testament to faith.

I'll second the comment about how great the entire album is. He released it when I was in University, and I fondly remember it as great music to study to... It has few distracting vocals, and great rhythm. I still put it on, sometimes, when I have to concentrate on tough-to-get-a-purchase-on work.

The movie was The Last Temptation of Christ. It has been banned in Argentina forever. The church was so afraid that it would cause us to loose our faith. When I finally saw it in USA, it helped me to understand the real message of Jesus. Moral: never forbid, educate!
Sorry for the off topic... :-)
Thanks! I was wondering what the 'movie' was... |

Divine! Sublime! That's a very eloquent comment that makes me a little sad that the song didn't do the the same for me. I just thought it was a quite pleasant tune. |

He should be in there just for the song Biko alone, let alone all the
other great work he has done.
Yea I agree and I don't even like his music but apparently a lot of people do so.....sure. |

He's in with Genesis, but I agree — he should be in for his solo work, too. Seems I heard this song on RP earlier today. I don't mind hearing it twice. |

The new cd and DVD with no band and full orchestration is his utmost of masterpieces. If you have a good 5.1 system check out the dvd |

This whole album is amazing and boundless. I feel that his happened during his most creative period. (also check out the studio version of "Across the River" from about this time..Stewart Copeland on drums, David Rhodes on guitar...)
