Finally! The original version! So much emotion in this song, it has been re recorded by him and that's the version that gets played on alexa, but I feel he is thinking more about the way he is singing it and how it sounds rather than conveying the message as he does here! Been one of my favourites since hearing it as a child!
"You hide behind walls of Jericho, your lies will come tumbling...🔥 Deny my place in time, you squander wealth that's mine..." 🔥 So relevant in 2021! And justice WILL prevail!
For me i see this Black Noble as A PROPHET; based on what ppl went thru 2021, and still going thru. Yes, his music is so Relevant! Hiding behind walls of Jericho; to deny ppl's Places & Jobs; Squandering wealth that belongs to others! Oh their lies are already out. This man Prophesied & his prophecies are still Revelling Right b4 our own eyes! God is faithful, He will continue to expose, disgrace & destroy the enemies at The Appropriate Time! To The Lord Our God Always be The Glory!!!
This song was already actual before its time. At that time i liked it already but in these times it touches me deeper than before 🥰. We the people will take back our power because something inside so strong , which is called love, will radiate this world ❤
Finally divorcing my wife, this song takes on a different relevance to me. Taken from one struggle to another, I thank you Labi for putting words to feelings so many have, whatever they’re individual struggle.
I’ve been in an induced coma for a month due to COVID I have woken up unable to walk or tallk due to muscular atrophy and having a tracheotomy done this song gives the fire inside me fuel I can now slowly with a frame walk to the commode
Like all well written songs, the lyrics can be applied to a plethora of situations. It can equally powerfully be applied to those suffering personal abuse in a relationship or life, and especially hounding, oppression and censure by authorities if one chooses the path of protest against things that are wrong.
@dante springfield In 2014 he told the BBC that the song was mostly an autobiographical song about his life growing up as a gay teen. So while it became and anti-apartheid anthem, and quite rightly, it was actually written as an LGBT pride anthem.
This is very relevant to the world today in 2020-2022 I have been prevented from seeing my son for no reason which is against both of our human rights! We have been put into prison of a different form. We are both innocent. They are not allowing us the right to have a voice and they are trying to hide the truth. Justice will hopefully prevail for both of us. ❤️
Just discovered you and the song again, how had I forgotten you. This will keep me going now when I miss my late husband so very much. Thank You Labi XX:):)
Deny my place in time- How whites try to erase African history You squander wealth that is mine-How whites rob African resources, people, pride and dignity. Powerful words! What a beautiful song! It makes me emotional listening to this song. I'm glad I discovered this man. Thank you for uploading this!
The corrupt leaders and politicians of African countries have robbed from their own people for more years than the whites were even in Africa, yet you’re not calling them out on it - why is that? We all hoped and prayed that when Mandela was released from Robin Island that things would change and they did - for the worst. For the last decade or more Africa’s corrupt politicians have been selling their very souls to the worst people of all - China. Africas taken all that development money and put it in offshore accounts and swiss banks and the people it should have helped are no bettter off. Just wait until those loan’s become due. The Chinese economy is collapsing faster than a deck of cards in an earthquake so they’re going to make damn sure African people pay up or else all those thousands of Chinese “advisors” will show their true colours just like American advisors in Vietnam. For most of the expensive projects that were done with massive loans it is clear that the various African countries involved didn’t have any lawyers to read the small print. In 99/100 agreements the Africans agreed to repay on time, something they’ve never done in the past and the Chinese are banking on it happening again because of a couple of clauses in those contracts. Put simply, if those African countries don’t pay on time then the Chinese get access to all oil and mineral resources without restrictions. You think that the white folk robbed Africa? You ain’t seen nothing yet. China will strip mine Africa from Libya to South Africa and there’s no one to stop them, other than those white folks you hold in such low regard. Next time, before commenting, try to get your facts right and maybe you won’t look so foolish or I’ll informed.
This Noble Black man was a Prophet in disguise! His prophecies are revelling right b4 our own eyes. The good thing is God The Creator of all is still in Control; The enemies will be disgraced & destroyed at Appropriate time: and The Lights of the Poor/ meek & AFRICANS will SHINE SO BRIGHT TO BLIND THEM! BE STRONG! FOR U ARE MORE THAN A CONQUEROR!! SHALOM!!!
@@dak1591 you would have better support if you didn’t include the religious nonsense. It’s a very contentious issue in many parts of Africa, irrespective of the local beliefs which are just as accurate as the christian myths and nonsense, so why would anyone give christiian beliefs any more importance than that of the shamans whose beliefs are just as believable as the Catholic Church myths? Although I’m a 60+ yo white guy, I see no problem with the far older belief systems of African tribes that have existed far longer than the childish new religions of Christianity or Islam ? They’re both so new that their calendar systems still have to incorporate leap days, months, years, centuries and all the rest - definitely not an accurate description of a reliable calendar unless you enjoy adding leap days, seconds, minutes, days or whatever is required to reset a calendar to something that makes a degree of sense!
the song is also about unfair and undemocratic non elected regime , squandering wealth from the people for example offshore accounts taking the rights and civil rights of people , Labi Siffre - Something Inside So Strong
The mother of my son was messaging another man and we broke up 2 months ago and a week after we broke up she met another guy and they are now “together” songs like this are the reason I’m still breathing
They're gradually making kenny rogers version the only version available and this man's version is disappearing into the shadows. UA-cam is doing black people so much damage.
TRUTH will always prevail! Labi Siffre is who The World KNOW for Original!! We see him as a Prophet in disguise! His music is so Relevant: " Hiding behind walls of Jericho; Squandering wealth that's his/ ours! The Truth will continue to Shine so BRING TO BLIND THEM/ THE ENEMIES! THEY CAN RUN; BUT CAN NEVER HIDE! TO GOD ALWAYS BE THE GLORY!!!
![[Something Inside] So Strong](/img/n.gif)
One of the greatest songs of all time ❤❤❤❤
This song makes me strong again fighting depression is my toughest obstacle, but this song makes me fight on , love this song so much

Keep fighting lads . Keep going .
Suddenly needed to hear this tune again. And again and again and again. Amazing song.

This song as been with me through so many bad times . It's the song of a fighter . A warrior.

God bless Labi Siffre ♥♥♥
This song always makes me so emotional. I have to mentally restrain myself, otherwise i'll end up sobbing. ❤❤❤
Thank you for this song, helped me to believe in myself
Me too man !!!!!! Thank you I’ve been to prison and this got me through it
What a powerfull beautiful message

❤️🇰🇪
So true I agree with you 💯
yes that is all very well, but please don't forget the important message that it is about apartheid

There's power in collective passion, action
Always an Uplifting Song gives So Much Encouragement listening to it For Years
