I love the elder in this group. He looks like he has seen so much & has much knowedge to share.
I'm an old woman and this song always makes me cry. Losing your religion means you can't take it anymore, you're at the end of your rope. You can't go on anymore. You've just given up. Trapped in a corner, no longer dreaming of an escape.
That is a beautiful take on it, thank you for sharing that!
Or ideally you wake up and see the world like it actually is instead of hiding behind a facade of fairy tales. (If taken literally, I mean, otherwise completely yes).
@@Aikisbestsigh…….
@@DarthLetalis With that deep of a sigh maybe you need someone to talk out your feelings with :)
@@Aikisbest I suppose it could be taken literally! I just don't know that he meant it that way. Either way it would be perfect for me, as I left that stuff behind long ago.
Gotta love how mr. Abdul Aziz Rind Baloch rock solid stone gaze at each of this pieces he listens and watch.
A rock doesnt reacte to stimuli - rock experience it..
Now... I fully understand what you're getting at, but rocks DON'T experience anything... ever.
It would work better if you said "tree" instead... still doesn't REALLY experience anything, but it's at least alive, unlike rocks.
Nice choice. And, as always, the guys come across as very intuitive, kind and decent. Thank you.
Glad as always that Chacha seems to be feeling better. Hope each and every one of you is safe and fine, seeing you always cheers me up. Best wishes from Spain
The images of welding the wings comes from the ancient Greek story of Daedalus (the father) and Icarus (the son). Daedalus made wings for himself and Icarus to fly and escape their prison island. But they were made with wax. Daedalus told Icarus not to fly too low (and crash into the sea) or too high (where the sun would melt the wax), which is a Stoic philosophy (the best life is one where you are not too sad or too happy but balanced) but Icarus flew too high, the sun melted his wax, and he fell into the sea.
The idea is Icarus was young and had a fantasy to become great and aim for the sun, like it was a paradise, but the fame and fortune of the sun burned him and destroyed his life. I think the song is about realizing the life you thought was perfect and happy, especially this other person in the song being happy (maybe an ex-lover?), is actually just a fantasy and not real, and he's realizing the sad truth and his life is falling apart by the knowledge.
That was my interpretation. I love hearing all of your thoughts as well. Thank you for these, as always.
Don't you know you are a shooting star....
Johnny is also Icarus.
Good example. Eddie in Tom Petty's "Into The Great Wide Open" is the one I was thinking about (also played by Johnny Depp who is himself also a kind of Icarus). But I think there are so many examples.
the welding of wings also has a modern interpretation.
They saw the truth, the real angle.. and still decided to simulate, and to make fake, when they could have easily embraced the truth.
When I realized this metaphor, I realized what the song was about. As my mind is mathematical.
"(E)ven if you lose everything, don't lose hope." - Muharam
I have lost everything 3 times in my life. Everything. And everyone. To hope was to hurt more....yet I hoped for better. And I still do. God let me lose all those things so that I would find Him. I may never understand any of it, but I will continue to hope for better. Even if it is to spite myself.
Please give my love to these brothers, these teachers. Each one of you bless me every single time, and I am so very grateful for all of you. We need Y'all. The world needs Y'all. ❤
“It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.” - Tyler Durden, Chuck Palahniuk - Fight Club
"You only lose what you cling to" - Siddhārtha Gautama
“Harsh reality is always better than false hope.” - Downton Abbey
“Mankind accepts good fortune as his due, but when bad occurs, he thinks it was aimed at him, done to him, a hex, a curse, a punishment by his deity for some transgression, as though his god were a petty storekeeper, counting up the day's receipts.” - Sheri S. Tepper
“Religion is pure hypnosis” - Bangambiki Habyarimana, Pearls Of Eternity
“Hope is the lies we tell ourselves about the future.” - Brent Weeks, The Way of Shadows
It's like these people, having developed in their culture, are FLUENT in symbolism, in a way that is rarer in Western culture. It takes them almost no time to connect with a metaphor!!
Just a side note, the images in the video are from Greek and Roman mythology. There is the scene of Leonardo da Vinci showing Icarus as an old man. There is another song that expresses the same idea as this, that when you reach the height, you can tumble back down to earth, that song is Shooting Star, and the words are "don't you know that you are a shooting star" about a boy named Johnny who wanted to become rich and famous as a rock singer and got there by cutting off all he knew of good people and good things.
Some of the images are clearly inspired by Renaissance and Baroque paintings. Rembrandt comes to mind.
The moment a Trybals video comes up, I go there. Their discussions are so deep, like when I was young and hippie ( 50 or so years ago).
My only real critique is that there are no women involved any more. I do understand that the culture there is very different, but I'd love to hear their observations.
That would be so good. Where are these two cool Dudes from?
I love your opinions! I hope you are all good in your beautiful country. ❤ it’s always nice to see these videos.
I am glad this song was featured on the channel. I feel it is an excellent selection, all things considered.
Exactly, losing one's religion in the south means, being angry or frustrated with something.
Yes, one could say that about anyone who annoys them like "that driver was brake checking me the whole way, he is making me lose my religion" which means you want to do something violent to them but you can't because your religion does not allow you to.
One of my favorite bands. A great song I haven't heard it in a long time. I love how the song was interpreted by all the gentlemen here. Excellent job.
2024 and I hear and feel this song from a whole other perspective as an adult since this album came out when I was a teen and very naive. It’s much clearer now
R.E.M. is indeed "Rapid Eye Movement" but while the band pronounces its name as R-E-M, they have stated that's not the meaning of the name. The discoverer of the sleep phenomenon reached out to the band to ask if that's what it meant but they deny it, saying that they picked it at random from a dictionary.
Shouldn't it be R.F.A.D.? 🤓
Sir, I am very surprised with this videos...your project is beautiful and educational. Presenting your hosts, such humble and "simple" people, this varied selection, gives us the audience the opportunity to see their honest and real reactions. Music apreciation and honesty in the heart unites us, even more so when your guests express themselves with such clarity and respect in their opinions. And their contributions about feelings with each new song they listen to. It shows us, that living on opposite sides of the world, we are so different but at the same time very similar in our emotions. Please continue this fantastic project. I send you a cordial greeting from South America, to you and your distinguished guests my respect and appreciation.
Thanks dears ❤
You're welcome 😊
@@TRYBALS 😘
I've really been enjoying the videos of music analysis! I didn't understand the m/v for this song on first watch.
"Whatever is written in destiny would become real. Yet, what's the use of looking for who is there with you?"
[Abdul.Aziz Rind @ 8:41]
I love this channel ❤️
Thank you friend
You guys are the best of the best ! Much respect ✊
The saying originally meant that you had taken all you can take and you start swearing. Using cuss words which could make you "lose your religion."
"That woman made me lose my religion right in front of the church!"
From a music (not lyric) standpoint, this is the best example I know of a song in purely Aeolian mode, which is natural minor.
Usually the minor key involves some changing of scales (harmonic or melodic minor, bringing the leading tone to drive us to the tonic note) or even mode mixture (phrygian, with a lowered 2nd, is popular in heavy metal and drives us to the tonic from above instead of from below, as the leading tone does) to help give a song movement and direction.
In this song, we never deviate from that pure minor tone with its flat 7th, and the result is this beautiful darkness. It lingers, without escape, filling us, consuming us, in its sorrow. I love this song for this reason.
Excellent videos. Just came across them in my scrolling. You have a subscriber. Cheers from Australia.
Only recently discovered this channel.
Always a pleasure to hear their interpretation.
I'll be giving a coffee in a few weeks time(sorry, Christmas is expensive; may have to wait until next payday).
Thank you for this video. I was introduced to R.E.M. by some co-workers back in 1986 and while it took me a bit they quickly became one of my favorite bands of the 80's and 90's. Michael Stipe's lyrics are very poetic and full of subtle meanings and symbolism. I think this channel would respond favorably to their song "Everybody Hurts".
Loved it!
This song works well even absent all context because it could actually not be about using a regional idiom, or it could be about a love interest that is female. It isn't. But it's universally appealing while being quite esoteric.
One of those songs that's instantly recognisable even years down the line.
Just here to say I love you all. Please don’t stop
They explain it better than people who've heard it a hundred times in their native language!
After all these years, I never looked into R.E.M.s acronym stood for. I just loved their music and assumed it was initials if the band members. 😅
My favourite band since I was 10
There are so many Southern US people that are deeply religious, so the deep meaning here is awesome
No, R.E.M. doesn't mean rapid eye movement in their name, the band said it is not intended to mean anything.
I love this channel. I swear. Revolutionary. :)
✨🎊wishing you all the best for the New Year and unending Blessings🎊✨Lots of love from heart to heart✨💖💞💖✨ and thank you so much for your time 💝 we love you ✨💐🌷🌸🌹🌼🌺🪷🪻🌞
❤ 🎶helps the world listen, to discover new friends. Music= piece of life, & PEACE for at least a moment in our lives🎸🎹🥁🎶👍
Very excellent song! Michael Stipe joined Brian Molko of the UK alternative rock band Placebo to do a duet in a beautiful and emotional song called "Broken Promise" in the '00s. I believe that is a great song to let the Tribal Elders listen to.
*Edit:* Nevermind, there is no official video or live performance of that song with both artists on stage. :(
This is one of their hits. The bigger one is Everybody hurts. It is worth a discussion. I would like to hear your opinions on it.
I love how they always bring up a reflection I never thought about listening to the same music. But I must ask, is it only me, or are they talking faster than ever? Had to watch it x0.8
Have you visited 'The Living Years' by Mike and The Mechanics? I think they would appreciate it ❤
Hello, Adnan, I am a big fan of your channel and work and appreciate all of these people offering their insights. I was wondering if you could have them react to the video of the elephants painting pictures. It is on youtube for the public consumption and I do not think you would have copyright issues. Thank you for everything. Please take care, all of you.
Those elephants are tortured.
"Kingdom" by Devin Townsend Project, live. Preferably the live performance from "The Retinal Circus" in 2013.
Thank you all.
Thank you too!
I feel so bad for Abdul. He is clearly now facing his death and not happy about it. I am almost 60 and and am pretty darned mad that I can't do parkour anymore and am thinking of not wanting my son to look after me when I can't look after myself anymore. I don't want that for my son. But Abdul is much closer to the end and my heart goes out.
✌️
To me this song means unintentionally forcing yourself into a state of limbo. “Oh no I’ve said too much, I haven’t said enough”, I perceive this as being stuck on making a decision, you stay stuck for so long eventually the decision is made for you.
have you listened to these bands before? Crowded House, "dont dream its over" . . Tears for Fears, "everybody wants to rule the world"
Wow, what would Stipe say? These men are pretty damn astute, and the song seems to be universally moving.
Beloveds it's time to show the Beatles rooftop concert extract from the recent Get Back reconstruction film and I suggest Prince and others playing While My Guitar gently weeps which is probably The most virtueosic piece of guitar playing in my 74 years! But the rooftop concert is essential.....your work together is BRILLIANT...the best of work and ethnomusically sociological educational
I think having women on is very important and Parvati clearly illustrated the issues we would all hope to improve
Salaams
Oooh…I would be interested in hearing what they have to say about Hozier’s “Take Me To Church”, specifically the Live at the iTunes Festival in 2014 version (the official video is amazing too, but depicts a love story that may not be culturally/religiously acceptable for these gents).
Here’s the AI description:
"Take Me To Church" by Hozier is a song that uses religious imagery as a metaphor to express the powerful and passionate feeling of love, essentially saying that the act of love with his partner is a more profound and meaningful experience than traditional religious worship, while criticizing institutions that might instill shame around sexuality, particularly within the context of the Catholic Church; the "church" in the lyrics represents this idea of societal norms and dogma that can restrict personal expression of love.
Maybe they are ‘tribal’, maybe they find all this new technology and concepts difficult, but one thing is for sure: they are wise people.
Hello! Love your videos! Please , show them a performance called Diana Navarro - El tránsito 2005 (It starts at 02:14). It is a popular religious acapella song. I think Abdul will love It.❤❤❤
Regards from Spain
"that's me in the spotlight..."
Find the river is another great song of theirs, would love to see a reaction to that
Hi, any chance you guys can do Fade To Black? Specifically the live performance ""Fade to Black (Lincoln, NE - September 6, 2018)""
💚💚💚💚💚☘️☘️🇮🇪💚🇵🇰☘️☘️
I'd like to see what they think about Django Reinhardt
@Masoque Indeed being grown does not make one a man nor a woman. ♥
I hope one day Y'all can react to the song "Fire coming out of the monkeys head" by the Gorillas. The whole album had a profound impact on my as an adolescent into my young adulthood, and I have a new perspective on what the meaning of the song is. It's a lot of a spoken word song, with singing elements. But I think it would be cool to hear yalls interpretations of it. ❤
I openly admit it's difficult to fully grasp a song when it's not in your language. Sure you can appreciate the music but it's just natural to want to understand the lyrics.
Listen Juan Gabriel "Hasta que te conoci" is one of the best Mexican singers
I love this channel and all the people doing the reactions. They are so warm, so thoughtful, and so insightful. I love that you have some different ages, but please add a woman into the mix. Women have a different perspective. I know you used to have a woman and she irritated you. She was very reluctant to speak her mind. That was either due to her personality, or due to her upbringing. If it was due to her personality, that means it should be easy to find another woman who can speak her mind. If it was due to culture and upbringing, that's all the more reason to bring a woman into the show, and ENCOURAGE her that here is a place she really can - for the first time - speak her mind. Just because you had one woman being shy and reluctant is no reason not to bring another woman on the show. That woman who used to be on the show is just one woman, and not representative of all. This is my one big complaint. In fact, I'm irritated enough, that I won't contribute monetarily again until you do bring in a representative of 50% of the people on earth.
Spirit walk of life exists no matter our ethnicity, nationality, gender, or religion, there is a commonality in human nature in the end the spirit, the container that holds everything of who we are, by choice in free will and ultimately will be judged upon.
Are the two guys with similar hats father and son?
I have just discovered this UA-cam channel, and I am very pleased with how respectfully you talk about the pieces of music.
I would like to recommend a piece to you
To this day, it is, for me, one of the most complex songs I have ever heard.
It is by Mike Oldfield and basically consists of the two titles "Secrets" and "Far above the clouds" (the titles flow directly into one another)
ua-cam.com/video/Dr5_z6aGjmk/v-deo.html
I hope you like it as much as I do 😃
I absolutely love Muharram.
These videos are great, id love to see them react to everybody hurts or some lana del rey songs, really interesting!
l love the idea that this is a Sufi song
Every body hurts.
Thank you Prometheus for my hot meal.
Peace/JT
" That waas just a dream"
May I ask how old Uncle Abdul is
Even he himself isn't sure but definitely he's above 75
That's a really tough song to try to understand even for native English speakers. I thought they gave very good interpretations.
!!!!!!!!!!
Bro I like to suggest some classical music like Beethoven's Fifth, Paganini's La Campanella, Schubert/Ernst Erlking to add variety with the metal and pop classics
In case you are wondering the song is actually about the correlation between sexuality and faith from post a Judeo-Christian and pagan lense specifically in regard to homosexuality. The video is filled with traditional homosexual iconography, most of it dating back centuries. The lead singer is part of LGBT+ community and that played a big part in the writing of the song.
Nice song, interesting interpretations. I tried the link to make requests, but it’s not working. Be nice if you find the time to do Wheat Kings by The Tragically Hip, or Bruce Springsteen singing 41 shots, live in Tampa. Thanks.
Thanks for your suggestion, I'll try my best 😊
Show them some Jimi Hendrix or Beatles next
bring back Parvaati!
Reaction recommendation!! I would love to see you folks listen to some Reggae! "Good Times (Roll On) by Fortunate Youth" would be a great one with clear English lyrics.
No. It's R. E. M. Each letter pronounced separately.
It means losing your mind! Not religion!
modern "advanmced" society thinks it is advanced , then Elder Abdul drops some knwolwedges that forces everyone to go back to the chalkboard.
Familiar with the song, have never bothered watching the video before...
You just keeping enough distance to throw a left hook.
If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?
Would they love 'champagne supernova"?
Its good to lose religion but focus on The Sons efforts.
I barely understand this song.. other than those who lose their faith have no direction consumed by confusion of self and lost between the past present and future. with God all is one
You told them, that the song was about "coming out" beeing a gay person beeing no longer accept by god, right? o_O
Singer himself said it's about how significant it is for a southern man to lose his religion
@@brethren111 As someone who has very deep southern roots, the truth is that men in the south are not really that religious. For them, it is because momma or granny went to church so they identify with the place where they went, not necessarily the religion.
More women tend to be religious than men.
Yes, that is what the song is about. And the images in the video are from Greek mythology.
Show them Dimash Qudaibergen from Kazakhstan, by far best singer in The World right now.
Get them to react to Dear God- XTC curious about their thoughts on the religious message and the implied criticism in the song.
