#MIA #Sunshowers
Music video by M.I.A. performing Sunshowers. (C) 2005 XL Recordings Ltd. Under Exclusive License to Interscope Records in the USA.
This does not sound like 2005 - She was extremely ahead of her time. She opened the door for alot of these newer artists.
I think this was even recorded in 2003...
yup 2003 iirc! she definitely influenced a lot of current hip hop and pop trends
RJ no she didnt
Sarah Ahmed yeah she did. From production to aesthetics
Ahead of her time...it sounds like an 8 year old wrote this
I m a 27 year old Japanese guy.
This is my fkn jam!
I'm 29 Lithuanian and this is my jam
I'm a person this isn't my jam, I thought it was the original
also 27 but indian and it's also my jam! i look upto her as she's a fellow brown girl.
I'm a 59 year old northern english woman and just discovered her...she is brilliant 💝🌻💞
Good beats are universal
Here in 2021 and I want M.I.A. world dominion!!!!!
I'm here 😎
Fuck yesssss😍😍😍😍
I see you!
I am here for this
💯🙌
Literally brings tears to my eyes. How are we so blessed to have this artist... when I discovered her in high school, I knew she was way ahead of her time! I can’t express how meaningful it is to see her now in 2021, still relevant as ever!!!! Love you MIA
True
Her songs were also holding a lot of meaning hence political music and if you listen closely to some of the lyrics it rlly tells you about the world’s situations
I will...listen better
I mean you *CAN EXPRESS* how meaningful it is, just not *YOU* because you're borderline illiterate (8th grade reading comprehension on avg in USA)
Keep in mind this is a cover/extrapolation of this original classic by Dr Buzzards original Savannah band.

Cherchez le Femme, with intro by Sean Connery (live performance)
I'm from Japan. I remember when I first heard this song.. I was like 14 and so obsessed with it! Then I became her fan and made it to her show in Japan! I'm so proud of it! She's still making great music and keep fascinating me😍😍
MissShoko96 I know that BlackPink are Korean but MIA & Blackpink would be fine
@@dann756 bad news
@@sashab9611 what are the bad news ?
It’s so cool hearing where everyone is from!
She is uniting East and West, North and South. We are all in this together.
You're GENIUS. You're better than any female singer i saw before! Love alot.
Suicid sqad
admire her as an outstanding and unique female artsit
You mean her lyrics. Her music is just rap. For me, what makes her special is this unique vibe. She is boldly masculine and not showing much skin.
Unique? HA
savannah band sunshowers?!
@@sarajeremic8983 bruh she sampled them in this song...doesn't make her style any less unique and powerful
She's One of the best to ever do it
She’s the Björk of the global south
Bjork loves MIA ❤
I'll never forget the day I met maya. she is an amazing person. I been listening to her music for almost 10 years, her work is exceptional, she is an underrated artist.
Y'all better believe this was my myspace song for months!!
M.I.A. is a revolutionary!
M.I.A. warned us as kids and many of us were just not listening...
about... what exactly?
Honesty MIA is such a dope original artist. I remember in 2007 at cinespace in la when she performed right there in the audience/ minimal she booth. Then she BLEW the fuck up. Love her.
Minimal DJ booth **
Ps MIA is a fucking badass. My god, this is just the prequel. Bad Girls is simply sickening. I’m sorry I lost my shit when I saw it and told everyone I knew and felt super super cool about it. MIA is one of the most original mainstream artists ever. Especially female. And she’s classy not like some stupid hoe. Respect! I sound retarded bc I’m faded but I don’t care I love her forever!
Anyone in 2024??
Here we are!!! AWESOME song... Maya is always GOOD!!
Here I am
Hi :)
Came from a favorite in 2003
Yup! She's an all time favourite.
many of dont understand the theme its of struggle of tamilians in srilanka
I love her because she puts a lot of meaning and thought into her songs. But, you have to listen and think about the words to understand her meaning. If you don't, you get memorized and lost by the tune and rhythm of the song.
Darn! You just gotta' love these British musicians!
Still banging in 2017
M.I.A most original artist i ever seen i think
She has meaning in her lyrics , soul in her music ,
Some people just can't understand em rather say ' she is hot'
She didn't blabber like pitbul to fill up the music with city names , or use the words fuck , big butt , for every single line of the lyrics ! A decent singer from rich culture ! #respect #mia
best comment
pity the song is shit
+Deva Uk shee waas born there and her father died for cause... please dont compare her to crap like that.
Anton Chigurh i hope to god you are being sarcastic. i cant see the comment you're replying to
+Deva Uk hahahah yeah.... Pitbull does say the words big butt and fuck all the time... hahaha. I hate that dude.
Girls who are powerful, non-sexualized, having fun, innocent even. Imagine that. Thank you MIA!
They're literally in a war camp
shut up.
@@0ViciousV0 so what
innocent? lmao
@@CarolineMartin I was pretty much agreeing with OC
LIKE PLO I DONT SURRENDO!!!! 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Came here looking for this comment ❤️🖤🤍💚
I love how layered this woman's music is! There is always something new to be discovered with each listen.
She is awesome! Everything about her, especially her music.
I couldn't agree more with you ...
Melanie 's fan)
Charisma C. I know right, she's perfect
I agree!
The video is basically a depiction of a militia/terrorist camp in Sri Lanka.. I'm sure most people don't get it. And mostly they have females soldiers in such camps. MIA was always unique and creative from the start. Respect for this subtle video!
I wonder how much she would agree with the word "terrorists". Rebels who stand up against being slaughtered get tagged as Terrorists when they loose to the powerful world politics.
@@sushmita9040 That is so true!
You spelled 'Freedom Fighters' wrong
* Freedom fighters.
still a tragedy that the tamil comrades lost the war hopefully they will be free one day
Like PLO, I don't surrender!
Based.
This part made israel spew crap about her
Dude's iPod played this song 231 times, lmao.
'Like PLO, I don't surrender!"
I'm still addicted to his song . Native and savage
"The video, frequently cited by M.I.A. as her favorite ever made, faced censorship controversies on TV and Radio, and was banned from MTV after a refusal by the songwriter to censor some of the song's lyrics or run a disclaimer disavowing them." -Wikipedia
Awesome! "Like PLO, I don't surrend-oh!"
Even recently unclassified items in wickedopoedia
Are false
Seems like this is the censored version.... :(
Hard-hitting, tribal, and aimed at the pop audience. This woman is a citizen of earth and an artist with true originality... Clever lyrics and an amazing video. Plastic people cannot fathom this level of artistry; those who follow the disney-pop formula cannot fathom the depths of integrity in her songs. What you (or, as most ppl comment: Americans) consider pop music is nothing but a marketing device. THIS, however, is MUSIC.
I just rewatched MATANGI MAYA MIA for the third time and had to come back on youtube MIA marathon. This song changed my whole life with music forever.
M.I.A. is probably the best artist alive today because she is so unique, and what do you know? Actually has talent.
Beautiful women in this music video!! This song is such a classic, the chorus is the best part.♥️
Underrated Artist Singer songwriter 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Mia, a real queen!
Lily Alan star power, with the edge and perspective to back it up with serious artistry
“Lily Alan”
Wow guys fun fact she says Colombo in the song it’s a city in Sri Lanka she is born here she says third world country wow I live in Sri Lanka it’s so nice to see other people who like her
You changed my life when I was probably 16 ish, am a 80's born from India. You were featured for this album, cultural section, Time Magazine. Thank G strrr
Brings back soooooo many memories! She was definitely ahead of her time. We don't deserve her!
there has has never been anyone else quite like M.I.A. legend forever
This video is just gorgeous
I am in mad love with this women no make up needed she is beatiful with out it
It's probably the quality of your phone :D
Stil love this song! And never surrender!
She paved a way for a lot of artist today !
Like who? I only hear crap rap these days, nothing anywhere near this quality!
@@tompaulcampbellRosalia cites M.I.A as an influence, Rihanna in Rudeboy
No one could ever do Sunshowers justice like M.I.A. She brings it to a generation with the finest flare. Love it.
You need to check out ghost showers by ghostface killer of the wu-tang clan then
i dont surrender
this song is actually SO good
Proud to be tamil!
+RandomFPS search it up
+MathuMJ97 Rattlehead tamill
+MathuMJ97 Rattlehead What did you do to be born Tamil? I thought so.
Mathu Varatharajah எம் தமிழா
what is the meaning of TAMIL? thanks!
I hope she's very proud of this song and video
This was such a cute song, brings so many memories from when life was simpler (I was just a teen then lol).
I'm gonna say that again: I love her, I love her, I love her!
Some of her beats like this one are HOT man! It makes me wan't to grind up all over the dance floor
Say everything is taken from you - home, land what can YOU do. But MIA rose to fame, she is famous
M.I.A. Is such an amazing artist. Her music is not like most songs of this generation. All of her songs have some meaning behind it.
This girl is a genius!
this song is so beautiful...it never gets old no matter how many times I hear it. A truly original artist. :)
Greetings from Mexico! 🇲🇽❤️
I love MIA
I can't believe its been almost 7 years since I first heard this song D: time is flying. I'm glad she's still making songs :D -M.I.A fans thumbs up to you!!!!
The first time I saw this was in either 2005/2006 on the show Video Music Box here on NYC public TV/public access. It drew me right in. I ran out and bought "Arular" the next day, and it did not disappoint. I was so happy to discover a great new female artist, and I've been a fan ever since. MIA is a compelling artist who takes expression through art to the next level.
I remember hearing this song with my best friend for the 1st time in High School maybe 2005 and we immediately loved the beat and always had it on repeat. Little did I know in 2021 at 30 years old I still love the song and best as I did at 14/15
Too bad she isn't better known in the U.S.
lol cyrus viurus
This is the best you have to offer.
nobody fucking cares about the US
Šøñÿœñdörkš 7 Except all the illegal immigrants who want to come here.
Because they obviously haven't been
Informed about the shitty stuffs that's going on here! Land of opportunity my ass!
why is every MIA track great?
The classic song inspired by another classic song. Thank you M.i.A.
Rudy's favorite song
She's different. You have to dissect what she's saying. Sampled beat and chorus from Dr. Buzzards Savannah Band under the same title song called Sunshower. Interesting. I like her.
+Donah Hunter Oh wow, no idea it was sampled from another song! Thanks for the lead.
The beat is not sampled. This is a completely different instrumental, but yeah the chorus is a remake
Yessir, written by Kid Creole.
Re-listening to all my favorites and commenting on them. As a Christian, I still always loved M.I.A. and had a good feeling about her and her crazy good talent, despite the bad girl image. So happy for her now! I believe she found the Truth.
2021 and this is still hot !
This song makes me ganna plant and grow a Mango Tree 🥭🥭
The incomparable M.I.A!
Stopping by to listen to M I A music. I watched her interviews. Her words have power.
I always knew of you but never knew YOU. 14 year old me could have been braver THANK YOU MIA I WILL BE MORE BRAVE NOW
LIKE PLO I DON'T SURRENDO!!
Free Palestine! love you M.I.A.
D TOWN BABY!!!
I've been seeking this song for loooooong loooooong years.. and I finally found this !!!!
Now I knew that she sung this song. this song was hers! I'm so so happy😭😭
okay but my girl be havin bops
Here in summer 2021 to bring back happy memories because I’m depressed af 🙂
I usually dislike rap, but this song is an exception. M.I.A. is awesome, and it's crazy that it took so long for people in the U.S. to start talking about her!
+Skye ID I ullsay don't like rap but exputed M.I.A and fregie this sing really cute
Same.
Yes, compared today's crap rap, this is awesome!
You'll never find good rap if you rely on mainstream media/radio to hand it to you. For every artist you know, there's a ton you don't. You have to dig. Peace
@@tompaulcampbellyou wouldn't know what good rap there is because you have your head stuck in the same places.
I love this so much. I miss the 00s when she was a moment. That NYT hit piece was such bullshit.
14 Years later and still chillin ^.^ Pepper tha mango! 💃
2022....she is still sooo underrated....I love her❤❤❤❤❤❤

Beautiful creativity of music .. the one and only M.I.A ❤️
This song used to make me cry when i was going through a bad breakup. I always liked the melody
Man... The production is dope... This is.... Gold. Wow.
Still slaps
"Like P.L.O, I don't surrendo" holla
Nas said she is the future of music!
