Africa Lyrics
(David Paich/Jeff Porcaro)
I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
It's gonna take a lot to take me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
(Instrumental)
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
(I bless the rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa
(I bless the rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
(Ah, it's gonna take the time)
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

You can hear a voice at the very, very end of the video say something like: “Great f*ing (?) perfect.” He knew it was flawless, but I don’t think the majority of the audience realized that they were just privy to one of the best live acoustic performances ever captured. And that is why this is, and will forever remain, an unrecognized masterpiece. I’ll digress for but a moment- There’s only three other acoustic songs that bring me to tears: REM’s Fall on Me, Pearl Jam’s Black and Nirvana’s Where Did you Sleep Last night. I put this performance along side of those. Maybe even above them given the venue. To me- what Mike and Jeff did that rainy day, is sublime. Stay safe & stay strong. Warmly, Boston

@@needleneedle6294 Link it, the version I have seen was not impressive...The bassist doesn't harmonize well, they both drown Mike out, and the instruments do not fill the ear like this version does. For what/when/where this was it still is the best cover of this song ever, when you see comments like "I never would have guessed this was live" and "it was like listening to this song for the first time" I will stick to that statement.

My sense is that the audience reaction was really just one of "knowing amazement". I bet these guys have a strong following there and the folks who show up to see them are not surprised by how great these guys are. The audience seemed to know exactly what they were going to be hearing. SO now damn you RU-vid - I have to spend hours checking out THESE guys too!! Isn't it enough I have to watch all the old Allman Bros, Lou Reed, Marshall Tucker, etc. videos?
@joegiuffr3

Jeff Moehlenbruck Right on, man. These guys are playing in some Pizza shop in Utah and from what it looks like, in the middle of the day. I took the light applause as a polite gesture to something they're use to hearing. To be loud would be obnoxious. How lucky they are to stop in for some pizza and music of this quality. I'd pay $10 a slice if I knew it would come with live music of this caliber.

And the fact that it's two guys in a pizza shop makes it all the more hysterical. The best part is when they finish the song, you hear like 5 people applaud and 1 guy say "that was great" and they start to laugh. They know they just totally killed it and it's like 1 guy there appreciating it...I would have been losing my mind!! That is just a stellar performance. Love it!

Hello Mike, my name is Albert, I live in the south of Spain. I just wanted to let you know how much your music has inspired me as a struggling musician and especially in the last year, my wife left me for another man after 8 years together, I was devastated and broke, but from viewing your videos and listening to your singing, I built up the courage to keep on gigging and started writing and managed to record my own album. Nine months after this happened, I now earn a living with regular gigs. I´m sure you have heard this story a thousand times, but you really helped me get through and I want to thank you and Jeff Hall...and all your musicians. Amazing syncronicity between you guys, most of your covers are all better than the original singers.(i bet they know that too..haha). Anyway...thanks for your voice, good luck and keep rocking.
