This song gets me emotional to the point I almost tear up and I feel it swelling inside me idk what it is but I sure as hell wish Joe were still here. We need more people like him in this world, especially in these times.
I had the absolute honor and privilege of meeting and hanging out with Joe, Tymon, and the rest of the Mescaleros in October ‘01 when they played at the Cajun House in Scottsdale AZ… and I can honestly say that was one of the most special moments of my entire life. One of those rare occasions when everything makes sense and you feel as though you could die happy in the moment. I have met some of my heroes before and been severely disappointed, but with Joe I had the opposite experience. He exceeded my already very high expectations. I could sit here and type all day about that night, but I’d likely wind up with carpal tunnel before I could even begin to scratch the surface. Joe was a one of a kind. A real gift to the world. He left us with some great life lessons and even though he’s been gone for over 20 years now, his legacy will always live on.
Still a missed man. The joy, angst and perseverance underpinning this number is so Joe. Never a milestone but always a destination. The journey is the thing - and what a trip he gave us.
I feel fully comfortable professing that I absolutely love this man. They say never meet your idols. You'll be disappointed. In this case I can scarcely believe that to be true. That pesky hard to find soul must exist, Joe. Because your voice, your words, and your music have touched my soul and millions of others. I can't thank you enough for everything.
I met him in October ‘01, and I can say without hesitation that he *FAR* exceeded my expectations, which were already very high. I look back on that night as one of the greatest and most special moments of my entire life. You’re absolutely right about meeting your heroes, and how often times it’s a major let down, but with Joe I definitely had the opposite experience.
Lyrics Lord, there goes Johnny Appleseed He might pass by in the hour of need There's a lot of souls Ain't drinking from no well locked in a factory Hey, look there goes Hey, look there goes If you're after getting the honey, hey Then you don't go killing all the bees Lord, there goes Martin Luther King Notice how the door closes when the chimes of freedom ring I hear what you're saying, I hear what he's saying Is what was true now no longer so Hey, I hear what you're saying Hey, I hear what he's saying If you're after getting the honey, hey Then you don't go killing all the bees What the people are saying And we know every road, go go What the people are saying There ain't no berries on the trees Let the summertime sun Fall on the apple, fall on the apple Lord, there goes a Buick forty-nine Black sheep of the angels riding, riding down the line We think there is a soul, we don't know That soul is hard to find Hey, down along the road Hey, down along the road If you're after getting the honey Then you don't go killing all the bees Hey, it's what the people are saying It's what the people are saying Hey, there ain't no berries on the trees Hey, that's what the people are saying, no berries on the trees
I'm so lucky that I watched John from Cincinnati or else I would have never known about this song the song is a classic Joe I hope you're in a better place jamming away
Lyrics so relevant to now. So many bees…too much honey…? Joe said it first. An amazing songwriter, musician, poet and more … sadly just one of the bees….RIP
Joe's passing brings nothing but tears to my eyes until I have even just a smidgen of time hearing his voice in this, and I remember he left us with a smile on his face.
Truly, One of the most beautiful heart warming songs, He'll Always be a driving force in my soul. Never even really knew who he was besides hearin this song on Chom in Montreal.
Perhaps the most meaningful Rock lyric ever written "After getting the honey, then why do u have to kill all the bees" JS realized that the world might be a better place, if enough people just even thought about that for a few fleeting seconds. RIP Joe Your wisdom lives on 4 generation's!!
I know Sandinista gets a lot of flack....but I think it’s The Clash best record....It’s 38 years old and I’m still mesmerised and confused by it...Surely that’s what great art should be..
So interestingly, it seems like the opinion on this is coming around. More and more people I meet love the record. Most of the ones I've met who don't are ones who like the Clash's earlier work but didn't give it time to digest. My, and some other people I've talked to's, view on it is that it's just so much that it's a bit overwhelming, and so different than their previous stuff, so people write it off, but everyone I've met who has really given it a chance freaking loves it, like on par with or better than LC. But yeah, it's a freaking awesome album. Then again, every single one of the Clash's albums is worthwhile in my eyes (I don't count Cut the Crap personally, but I can't fault those who do).
@@JohnDoe-kd2oq Lose This Skin especially. A favorite of mine from the week it was released to this day. Tymon Dog's vocals are just so passionate. Most of sides 4 & 5 do it for me.
@@maniic_idiot4398 it is but he had several master pieces and in mine and lots of other peoples opinions some were better than this if this is your favourite one then fine
I was 16 years old. I'd already seen Ian Dury and the blockheads at the Hammersmith Odeon. First gig. Then came The Clash somewhere in Charing cross road as my 2nd live gig. How blessed I was. I miss thoughs days. Peace
This Video and song just give me good nostalgic Vibes. Obviously filmed in a English town/City in the Summer Time. back in the Year 2000s when times where simpler..
I remember when the UK channel P-rock was a thing and around the time he died this video skyrocketed to number 1 in their video charts. made me appreciate the song so much more. a brilliant song from someone who died way too soon. rest up Commandante Joe x
Joe isn’t truly gone ever his spirit soul lives on. I feel his presences and deeply connected to joe himself always. I freaking truly madly deeply love him so much.
I was born in the late '60s so when the punk and new wave explosion happened I had all the original Clash and Sex Pistols albums and singles. I don't know what happened to them, but I know some of the Pistols singles are worth money now. I think Joe Strummer and Mick Jones are one of the great songwriting partnership's. Like the greatest obviously Lennon and McCartney, Jagger and Richards, Strummer and Jones, Morrissey and Marr from the Smiths who were the best band of the '80s for me. You had all this Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Culture Club shite. Style before substance. Then thank God the Smiths came along and made some brilliant singles and albums. Johnny Marr's excellent guitar lines and Morrissey's lyrics made for songs that People like myself could relate to. I believe Johnny Marr is one of the all time great guitarist's. I'm not putting him up there with the unbelievable Jimmy Hendrix, but he is an amazing guitarist. How Soon Is Now is just amazing because of what Johnny Marr's doing with his guitar. Also Ian Brown and John Squire of the Stone Roses. The clash made some excellent tracks. London Calling is one of the all time greatest singles. White Man In Hammersmith Palais is another classic. Janine Jones, Clash City Rockers, Bankrobber, Police and Thieves, Stay Free, I Fought the Law, Straight To Hell, Hateful, Rudie Can't Fail, and I love Burnin' Streets. Joe Strummer is a legend. Gone too soon.
Joe Wilson ...hey, I re watch JFC periodically. There is honey in peeling back additional layers of the onion. HBO may have switched to GOT, ...& I certainly enjoyed that fantasy book series even as it was written, however... HBO...you know nothing. They have yet to realize nor long remember what they had and shut down ( they thought) ..JFC surfaces & surfs Daily. Get out there on that honey Joe Wilson. 😘🕊🌹🕊💃🏻🌊🏄🏻♀️
Missed out seeing Joe and this band at The Leadmill in Sheffield in the November before he died ... I wasn’t sure if I would like all the new stuff ... 😪 #nevergotoverit .. he is missed in the world
When I finished listening to Joe's cover of Redemption Song (this time) it occurred to me that the songs message is just as descriptive of Joe's writing as it is of Bob Marley. Finally got it. Amazing moment,*!
I think that the level of celebrity worship that goes on in the world today is ridiculous, but it is amazing how much of an impact that Joe had on my life. It broke my heart the day that I heard he'd died.
Joe Strummer’s resounding positive motivation through music and message in the world is immeasurable and more so after death. Joes songs are scripture that will somehow save the world from the current inflicted global negative zeitgeist we are for the last 20 years and currently enduring more so than ever. “Without people you’re nothing.” Joe ✌️❤️
The real crime is that R.Kelly is still making music and Joe Strummer dies at the young age of 51. Shame. Joe, keep on rockin! Now you ,Elvis and BB King can do a jam session together in Heaven. ♡ you and Miss you !!
Anybody want to jam with Joe Strummer in the after life? I sure do. We miss ya' Joe. We differently need you now more than ever. Regards and Respect JPD
Joe's a metaphor for America and what can happen to you if you become famous and loose sight of who you are and become lost in ego, but of course he bounces back and finds his center and then is gone in a puff of smoke like a ninja, he's brilliant and their story has much for us all to learn from!!!!
This song gets me emotional to the point I almost tear up and I feel it swelling inside me idk what it is but I sure as hell wish Joe were still here. We need more people like him in this world, especially in these times.
Psilolysergicamine YOU SAID IT. Spot on. Thank you.
If you're out to get the honey, you don't go killin all the bees. We will rise up.
Agreed
I feel the same way.
Psilolysergicamine he never dies
'If you're after gettin' the honey, then you don't go killin' all the bees' might be the most punk lines Joe Strummer ever sang.
True!

ジョーストラマーが大好きです。この曲のこともとっても好きで、いつも聴くたびになんだか泣きそうな気持ちになるし、勇気をくれます。ありがとう🎀
Still a missed man. The joy, angst and perseverance underpinning this number is so Joe. Never a milestone but always a destination. The journey is the thing - and what a trip he gave us.

I am so happy I saw Joe Strummer live. It is a show I will never forget. He was so cool, so humble.
Saw him 3 times, as you say, so glad I seen him, some of the most memorable nights of my life.
Miss you Joe
Thanks Joe x 👏
Great song, RIP in peace Joe we miss you
Lyrics
Lord, there goes Johnny Appleseed
He might pass by in the hour of need
There's a lot of souls
Ain't drinking from no well locked in a factory
Hey, look there goes
Hey, look there goes
If you're after getting the honey, hey
Then you don't go killing all the bees
Lord, there goes Martin Luther King
Notice how the door closes when the chimes of freedom ring
I hear what you're saying, I hear what he's saying
Is what was true now no longer so
Hey, I hear what you're saying
Hey, I hear what he's saying
If you're after getting the honey, hey
Then you don't go killing all the bees
What the people are saying
And we know every road, go go
What the people are saying
There ain't no berries on the trees
Let the summertime sun
Fall on the apple, fall on the apple
Lord, there goes a Buick forty-nine
Black sheep of the angels riding, riding down the line
We think there is a soul, we don't know
That soul is hard to find
Hey, down along the road
Hey, down along the road
If you're after getting the honey
Then you don't go killing all the bees
Hey, it's what the people are saying
It's what the people are saying
Hey, there ain't no berries on the trees
Hey, that's what the people are saying, no berries on the trees
Besides the music, the best thing about Joe Strummer is his great humanity. It comes through in all his songs and videos.
I'm so lucky that I watched John from Cincinnati or else I would have never known about this song the song is a classic Joe I hope you're in a better place jamming away
I work with young people and I know I draw on Joe's spirit to make a positive impact on their lives. Thank you Joe.
"Notice how the door closes when the chimes of freedom ring." -J. Strummer
True dat!
Lyrics so relevant to now. So many bees…too much honey…? Joe said it first. An amazing songwriter, musician, poet and more … sadly just one of the bees….RIP
Your message will never be forgotten. Thank you, Joe, wherever you are.
17 years gone. Still missed.
So much to give us. RIP Joe. 💚
21 now... 😢
Fckn love the guy x
Wow 20 years have passed since this god of lyrics left our world
Strummerville as relevant today as it ever was. RIP Joe. Voice of a generation. The last gang in town. The only bands that matters.
RIP Strummerman.. I hear you loud and clear.
Joe is one of those people you miss , but never feel he's that far away.
Joe's passing brings nothing but tears to my eyes until I have even just a smidgen of time hearing his voice in this, and I remember he left us with a smile on his face.
Truly, One of the most beautiful heart warming songs, He'll Always be a driving force in my soul.
Never even really knew who he was besides hearin this song on Chom in Montreal.
Miss you Joe! Best I can do is play your stuff to anyone who'll stand still long enough and hope we'll open some minds. You did all the hard work.
Perhaps the most meaningful Rock lyric ever written
"After getting the honey, then why do u have to kill all the bees"

My favorite Joe Strummer quote:
I don't like to be disappointed, so I have absolutely zero expectations. That way, I'm never disappointed.
I know Sandinista gets a lot of flack....but I think it’s The Clash best record....It’s 38 years old and I’m still mesmerised and confused by it...Surely that’s what great art should be..
keith-lee castle corner soul is perfect
2/3 of it is the Clash at their best IMO
Rebel waltz. Lose this skin

Probably his best song ever. The workers hear you, Joe. Tools down.
Lots of Clash songs far better than this
@@danielishere734 so?
@@danielishere734 back off, this is a masterpiece
@@maniic_idiot4398 it is but he had several master pieces and in mine and lots of other peoples opinions some were better than this if this is your favourite one then fine
Best song ever.. my arse
Any one of The Clash songs would bury this song. You obviously know nothing of Joe Strummer.
December 22 2019... i am still here remembering Joe!!!
15 years and not forgotten…. ‘without people your nothing’
Such a beautiful song/poet/artist/band/vibe/energy XXX
This song saved me! Love you all!
I was 16 years old. I'd already seen Ian Dury and the blockheads at the Hammersmith Odeon. First gig.
Then came The Clash somewhere in Charing cross road as my 2nd live gig.
How blessed I was. I miss thoughs days.
Peace
2020 quarantine ,best medicine for positive vibes
Exhale. Sigh...Thanks Joe! Tears tumbling down my cheek. Miss him. Voice of a generation.
What a Man he was Much missed
Crying right now. Happy birthday Joe!
This is such a special song. I keep coming back to it, as relevant now as when it first came out.
This Video and song just give me good nostalgic Vibes. Obviously filmed in a English town/City in the Summer Time. back in the Year 2000s when times where simpler..
maybe.. did it on jonny carson show. live
Happy Upcoming Birthday Saint Joe. The big 70!
Long Live Joe Strummer - His Spirit - His Music- His Inspiration xxxxx
A musicians musician💚 God bless you Joe-fearless one🦁
The Prophet. Gone, just when we need him most. RIP, mighty Joe! Your songs are eternal.
What a fabulous combination! Joe on lyrics and tymon on music! A great song
Sorely missed. This song is so underrated, more important and relevant than ever.
Heard this on the radio today for the 1st time. Amazing!
Brilliant Joe Strummer, Great Track.
I remember when the UK channel P-rock was a thing and around the time he died this video skyrocketed to number 1 in their video charts. made me appreciate the song so much more. a brilliant song from someone who died way too soon. rest up Commandante Joe x

Can’t believe it will be 22 years this month that he has been gone. The world needed him during the Covid pandemic, and his wisdom now
always reminds me of John from Cincinnati, another premature loss...
Joe Wilson love that show. Rewatching again on DVD. Wish David Milch would have written a book to finish the story.
