With soaring vocals and a respect for the music they toured locally for years. The folk music they covered was treated with what seems to be a personal reverence. "Friends" and "The Wedding Song" are simply brilliant.
"Some fool made a singer out of me" is a playfully irreverent tribute to Dennis Brown whom was greatly respected within the community.
The concert was held at the Stillwater High School were proceeds went towards the music program. The group disbanded and went on their own way after high school.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would you please come back to me
I damn know what I did
I'll never do you wrong again
Listen up
Sitting here and I'm thinking 'bout
All the good times that we had
How this good times turned to bad
Hold on, don't you go away
It shouldn't be that easy girl
All you did was perfect me girl
And I took advantage girl
I'm sorry that I hurt you
I just want to make true
Girl don't take your love away now,
Woman I'm struggling, can't be without your kissing and hugging
Girl don't take your love away, baby
Cause I can't live without you
And you know that it's true
Honey, what would I do
If you take your love away
Stop right there, baby
Don't you dare walk out that door
Can we please try to talk it out
(We just need to)
Work it out
(We don't need to)
Scream and shout
I don't mean to hurt you
Girl I'm just trying to get deal with you baby
Baby I apoligize, and I wanna tell you why
I was so wrong to you baby
Baby I'm sorry
For everytime I hurt you
Baby I'm sorry
Everytime I was so untrue
Baby I'm sorry
Everytime I didn't come home
Baby I apoligize, and I wanna tell you why
Girl I wanna come home
Girl don't take your love away now,
Woman I'm struggling, can't be without your kissing and hugging
Girl don't take your love away, baby
Cause I can't live without you
And you know that it's true
Honey, what would I do, honey
If you take your love away
I never meant to hurt you baby
I never meant to leave you
Please, just give me one more chance
I need you in my life baby
Trust, and believe me
Don't take your love away
Girl don't take your love away now,
Woman I'm struggling, can't be without your kissing and hugging
Girl don't take your love away, baby
Cause I can't live without you
And you know that it's true
Honey, what would I do, honey
If you take your love away

My father was sent to Vietnam after being drafted into the war in the 1960s. While there, he sent my mother a black-lacquered, wind-up music-box that played this song. I loved listening to this song as a child and would repeatedly wind the music-box up to listen to it over and over again.
Later on in life, the song always stuck with me, so I searched and found the original version. A few years ago, I came across the song again on this video and read the lyrics for the first time.
The 1961 song's title means, "I Look Up as I Walk", but it's more often known as "Sukiyaki" in the west.
The singer, Kyu Sakamoto, later tragically became yet another musician to die in an aviation accident, perishing along with 519 others in the deadliest single-aircraft accident in aviation history.
Of course, my childhood self didn't know any of this when I was repeatedly listening to the song on that little wind-up music-box.
A truly beautiful, heartbreaking, yet hopeful song, "Ue o Muite Arukō", sung by Kyu Sakamoto, is still one of my all-time favorites. It still pops up in my head often, after all these years, and is even more meaningful now that I know what the original Japanese lyrics mean.
A true masterpiece in my humble opinion, no other song can both bring a tear to my eye, while also giving me the courage to brave forward, tough it out, all while looking up as I walk.
R.I.P. Kyu Sakamoto

@@Eidann63 The impact registered on a seismometer located in the Shin-Etsu Earthquake Observatory at Tokyo University at 6:56:27 p.m JST. as a small shock, to 6:56:32 p.m JST. as a larger shock, believed to have been caused by the final crash. The shockwaves took an estimated 2.0–2.3 seconds to reach the seismometer, making the estimated time of the final crash 6:56:30 p.m JST.
One of the four survivors, off-duty Japan Airlines flight purser Yumi Ochiai, recounted from her hospital bed that she recalled bright lights and the sound of helicopter rotors shortly after she awoke amid the wreckage, and while she could hear screaming and moaning from other survivors, these sounds gradually died away during the night" - Wikipedia
Japanese authorities found the wreckage at night, but deemed that nobody could survive such a crash and therefore decided to dispatch rescue efforts the following day. When they arrived at the scene, only 4 survivors were found. It was later confirmed that at least 50 people had survived the crash but died due to no medical treatment, blood loss or hypothermia. It's most likely Kyu Sakamoto either died instantly on impact or he was subjected to a slow, painful death out on Mount Takamagahara.
If the Americans had been allowed to help rescue survivors, we would've had at least 54+ survivors in total (providing they all survived by the time Americans found the crash site) and probably, Kyu Sakamoto here with us today. But unfortunately, that never happened. It's been 13,375 days, which amounts to 439.7 months or 36.6 years since JAL flight 123 crashed. RIP to all that died on that horrible day.

@@rubycantrell4627 English lyrics, if you want to sing along 😊:
I look up as I walk
So that the tears won’t fall
Remembering those spring days
And tonight, I am all alone
I look up as I walk
Counting the stars with tearful eyes
Remembering those summer days
And tonight, I am all alone
Happiness lies beyond the clouds
Happiness lies above the sky
I look up as I walk
So that the tears won’t fall
But the tears well up as I walk
For tonight, I am all alone

The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom.
Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our beloved ones again! :-)

Is anyone else loving this song in 2024. I used to listen to it when I was a little girl. I loved it then and I love it now.❤
@harfangdesneiges6680
Boyfriend and I on 990 oldies that had to close down. They were on AM radio. Real good music that should have been on FM!😁📻🎵
@audgepodge77
I actually spent two hours today looking for this song without knowing the title or the artist. I ended up humming it into Google to find it. My grandmother used to play this when I was a little girl as well... It haunted me. It is now 2024
@benoitpellet1657
Yep. I heard this when I was maybe 10 and love it still.
