❤🙏Hold on, dear, for the sake of your son's memory! Thank you for writing his name, now I will pray for him too! Kingdom of heaven to Kyle. 🙏🙏🙏I am writing to you through Google translator and I apologize for the syllable.
Having lived in Tokyo when this came out and listening to it on my sardine commute to/from work and then the 2008 world financial meltdown hit... yeah, it hit hard.
Heard it for the first time , 13 years ago, i was 13 and continued to hear it until 16-17, then already hit differents. And now listen to that jewel at 26 and i've almost get Heart attacked even the emotion is powerful
An amazing woman showed me this song a long time ago she's the one that got away every time I listen it brings me back to when I was with her...Rest in peace my love I will be home soon this world just wasn't big enough for you...
Hello person reading this, if this reaches anyone. we're from different parts of the world, we lead different lives, we are different people. but yet, this piece, this video, has brought us together. and I will never meet you, but just remember we're still connected by this piece- by simply listening to it, together. it's crazy how the internet can bring people together, huh? and I hope you're doing more than "okay," and if you aren't, remember: you will be okay, and that's a promise. please be easy on yourself- it's been a tough year, I know, but we're almost over it, and you will be happy. I don't know how much you'll remember of this, but I'm glad that our lives intertwined in this little way. have a nice day, or night, and lastly, nice life...
I was thirteen when i listened this gem for the first time. I am italian and in that period i didn't undesrtand these legendaries words. Now i think that the message of this song is full of poetry, me too, i am not pro with humans but with nature. I hope Nature will rebel herself and will reduce all this toxicity.
Caro Francesco sono come te. Andavo alle medie, questa canzone era tra le più gettonate alle feste di compleanno e la cantavano con i classici versi senza senso che suonavano simili all'inglese. Oggi ho riascoltato questa canzone dopo più di un decennio e ne esco stravolto. Ancora una volta una canzone dei Mattafix si rivela più di quel che è.
SO I just turned 30 when this song came out, im 48 now and the scary thing is, this song feels like it was made yesterday. I remember I had not long left my hometown to find my own way in life, but I didn't last long, I soon returned the the place I call home, and I have been there ever since, though now everything is changing once again, my father passed away just 2 weeks ago and for some reason this song is the song I have turned to, no idea why, and its not making me an emotional mess or anything, but it reminds me why I left and why I returned, and no matter where we all end up, there is no place like home, the place you feel safe and secure.
I'm so sorry hear that. Glad you can find some relief through this song. Im 30 now, and I really appreciate this comment as I've left and come home too.
i heard this song and all the memories i did runed in my head like a little film, and I had to think instant about my graduation in a few weeks, so i called a classmate who cuts a video with fotos and videos in it and told her, we should take that song instead of the other one, we took first. Love it and listening to it every day! thanks 🤝
Finally!! I've been looking for this song like years and years 😅 listening to this music brings back my high school memories 😂😂 love this song!! God I'm so happy now🎉🎉
Sennheiser Momentum 4 with active noise cancelling.... Absolute great! Or Logitec G Pro X (Much cheaper, great Sound and much more affordable but no noise cancelling or Bluetooth)
I've been listening to this song for about 10 months now. I found them randomly listening to reagree. And dude I am not disappointed at all! I live my life to this song now. This is some warm heart felt music. The lyrics are where humans need to be and stay. We forget about being a homosapienn sapien........
I lost so much over the last couple of years, repeated lockdowns fucked me financially, I lost a brother and best mate to brain cancer and couldn't attend the funeral, I haven't seen my dad who's 72 for 3 years, my cousin lost his father and couldn't attend the spreading of uncle Marks ashes, about to file bankruptcy, dealing with an assault charge with potential 2 years in prison, and now my wife's going blind, I have court in the morning and I heard this and I just cried.
Hey man, I'm really sorry if all that's true. Remember that all the negative feelings that are filling your head have to be ignored. Don't let all of these disturbing thoughts prevent you from discovering the fact that you are probably stronger than millions of people out there since many people haven't lived throught the challenges that you lived through. Always remember that there are small things in life like that can carry you through these hard times. I hope that you will life a beautiful and happy life one day and that most of your problems are solved by then.
@@pebbly8528 but yeah it's true i have no need to lie or make it up. i don't think i'd be able to make that series of events up, the last two years has ruined my life,
I'm truly so sorry to hear all of this suffering that you are facing 😔 💔..I know we are worlds apart..but just know I'm sending you positive energies through..I really do hope things get better for you ..never forget your strength, purpose and your worth..I hope this message has given you a little bit of light..wish you all the best ❤ @It's Ollie Again
The chorus is in Patwah. Big city life, me try fi get by (Big city life, I try to get by.) Pressure nah ease up, no matter how hard me try (Pressure doesn't ease up, no matter how hard I try.) And right now Babylon deh pon me case (And right now Babylon (corrupt Western world) is on my case.)
12months sober on the 27th of this month , no alchohol , not a drop , i do my psychadelics once in a blue moon to remind me how hard life is so that it is very importent that we dont give up lifes hard for everyone even the ones who say they dont see a hard life they have it more rough then they even know . keep your middle fingers up in life and ya head held high ! life is a battle that we will win . !
This night i couldnt sleep so at 2 in the morning i decided to turn on a random radio. Thats when i heard this song. Now im listening it in the morning.
There are two mistakes in the lyrics for the hook 1. It's "Big city life, me try fi get by" - The hook is in Caribbean Creole (Singer is from St. Vincent), where "fi" simply means "to" - "I try to get by" 2. "And right now Babylon de(y) 'pon me case" - Babylon is a word that is used to refer to the state, and often to their agents, i.e. the police. He's saying that "Babylon, they upon me case", meaning the police is on his tracks, probably due to petty crimes he had to commit just to survive, aka "fi get by"
I followed my son's coffin out of the church to this song. It was one of his favourites. One year gone today. Here for my Kyle, forever 26 💔
Очень вам соболезную, тяжело терять близких нам людей 😢

Where has this song been all my life 😍
The chorus is in Patwah.
Big city life, me try fi get by
(Big city life, I try to get by.)
Pressure nah ease up, no matter how hard me try
(Pressure doesn't ease up, no matter how hard I try.)
And right now Babylon deh pon me case
(And right now Babylon (corrupt Western world) is on my case.)
Getting nostalgic for the EA Sports FIFA World Cup 2006 game when this song plays 😅
Yeah .me too i play in ps2 .. grandes recuerdos
From Republic of Bashkortostan ✌️
One of the best easy listening rap songs of all time.
One of the all time classics

I always thought it was "Babylon dep on me case" for the same reason (dep being short for department, ie police)
A classic....
Gone are those beautiful days.
Amazing Song😍.
this always reminds me of my homecountry bavaria. missing it everyday
Love this song, loved this time ♥
Best sound ever !! lyrics tho I don't understand it at all
Big city life me try forget by pressure nah ease up no matter how hard me try .
