"I've been to Africa, it's such a nice country" just says everything....

I've seen, Russian people enjoy going to Africa, one thing is for the beaches, because during winter in Russia it's still nice and warm in Africa.

@bwilliams463 Год назад

Don't go looking for the explanation for everything. This song is mainly a love letter to Africa; a vignette. Just evaluate it for what it is.

@destination-nn1zq 11 месяцев назад

spot on! there are songs that the maker leaves the interpreter (the listener) to interpret some of the most powerful songs that have ever been written are such as these....

@Don-n6o 11 месяцев назад

This is one of the timeless songs of my generation. I was 28 yrs old when it came out. I used to work out in the gym, and it came over the sound system often. I loved it then, 40 years have passed and I still love it. The great musicianship and the incredible vocals of TOTO are what make it a great song. I always assumed it was a tribute to Africa, but I never gave it a lot of thought. The music is what makes it great. It is good to get wrapped up in the way the music makes you feel, sometimes not so good to dissect the lyrics. Just go with flow as we say here in the US.

@samuraiwarriorsunite Год назад

The irony is the fact that even some of the band members thought the song was silly. They, of course, didn't feel that way when the song became a smash hit, and one of the songs most identified with TOTO.

@BiornBear Год назад

I miss the early 80’s so much. I was around 13 or 14 when this came out and it takes me back to my first date or the skating rink. ❤❤❤

@djm2459 Год назад

I recommend Toto‘s best songs: Rosanna, Hold the Line, I‘ll be over you, Georgy Porgy

@donaldchorney5619 Год назад

Toto is describing the discovery of African culture which is fostering a desire. The man in the video is falling in love with the culture of Africa, and he is expressing his need to go and experience the beauty of that continent.

@snowflakehunter Год назад

“Africa” is a song recorded by the American rock band Toto. The lyrics of “Africa” capture the quandary of a guy who must choose between his two loves - the continent of Africa and girl he finds therein.

@williamhayes981 Год назад

Perfectly put, that's exactly right..... literally.

@stemcellactivationguy Год назад

I was privileged to take my wife on a month long trip to Kenya and S. Africa in 2017. I made it a point to play this song while relaxing in our lodge at Amboseli Nat’l Park after a long day of photo Safaris. The lyrics seem to come more to life when you’re actually there. It was a brilliant experience!

I also heard that there are white peoples born and live there in Africa , as in Haiti 🇭🇹, and that’s new for me, and is not an hate comment, is because I want some info ℹ️, Africa is on the other side of the world 🌍, please don’t waste your time send me hate comments, cause I don’t reading at all.

@markbryant5965 Год назад

Maybe this will help you understand it better: Toto keyboard player David Paich wrote the song and explained in the liner notes of Toto's Best Ballads compilation: "At the beginning of the '80s I watched a late night documentary on TV about all the terrible death and suffering of the people in Africa. It both moved and appalled me and the pictures just wouldn't leave my head. I tried to imagine how I'd feel if I was there and what I'd do." From Songfacts

@snowflakehunter Год назад

Also from songfacts......“Africa” is a song recorded by the American rock band Toto. The lyrics of “Africa” capture the quandary of a guy who must choose between his two loves - the continent of Africa and girl he finds therein.

@williamblack1214 Год назад

I used to think Africa was a metaphor for a woman. Years later I learned that the guy that wrote the song was literally singing about his love for Africa.

@sollerhollersoulblade6126 6 месяцев назад

The song is about the Serengeti national wildlife park in Tanzania. However in South Africa this Song was used for a advert for Castle Lager Beer back in 1990's for The South African National Cricket Team The Proteas and South African National Rugby Team The Springboks 👍

beautiful song reflecting on difficult times in Africa... tribal genocide

@MrPazzerz 3 месяца назад

Searching for clues. So close, then it's taken away because someone doesn't want to be disturbed and doesn't want the answer to be found. Like a mystery novel. Not everything is obvious- at first. Then there's the musical aspect. It swims in beats of the dark continent. Masterfully done, IMO.

American music videos, especialy from the 80s don't necessarily make sense. Better to just enjoy the song itself.

@Patrick-s5o5t 3 месяца назад

This is just a great song such a beautiful majestic lyrics you are getting to caught up on trying to figure out what's going in the video and not really enjoying the words and melody of the song it's self Damm girl the 80s and 90s had the best heartfelt meaningful videos ever

@sharonannrees2824 6 месяцев назад

It was written in response to devastating drought in Africa at that time.

@BILLYMORGAN1971 Год назад

Drugs and perhaps white guilt is my guess. Really, when this came out, one got the impression he wanted to have sex with a black girl. Funny at the time most of Africa probably didn't have MTV to watch it but 40 years later....Toto got the keyword spam down pat ha! But remember...hold the line, love isn't always on time. 🤠

@Ronwaltman Год назад

Between you and me, I didn't get the video either. I do like the song, and made up an image in my head of what it could have been about over fourty years ago. By the way, if you like ballads (story songs) I don't see any Gordon Lightfoot reactions from you! He is the best balladeer of all time. Try "If You Could Read My Mind" first and then do "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald", a song about a maritime tragedy.

@briancockerham4731 Год назад

ITS A SONG.. NOT A GODDAMN MOVIE.. WAKE UP RUSSKI, and get outta ukraine too

@mr.mojorisin1616 Год назад

Yeah, even Steve Lukather (guitarist) said the lyrics make no sense at all. The song was just an exercise on how many tracks they could use in studio. They used 4 - 24 tack machines on this single cut. For forty years this song has made it's way back on radio play and has truly never died out. One of my favorite tracks from the Toto IV album but Lukather is right...makes no sense whatsoever. Doesn't mean you can't still enjoy it! You should check out other songs by Toto such as Pamela. Great cut!

I'm sorry to say this and it makes me feel bad to say it, but this girl is drenched in money. She's never gone hungry a day in her life. Every background you see is resilient in wealth. I'm just having a hard time connecting to her human side when she gets emotional, especially when the mic she's speaking into cost a grand..

Also dont worry about interpretation,songs can be interpreted how you want or perceive

@alioli592 Год назад

I think you are being a little harsh by saying you were bored. But that is your choice. Try listening to Rosanna by Toto you might find that more interesting. Also probavly look for live versions of songs they tend to get the vibe better

The video has nothing to do with the song except having people and artifacts from Africa in it the song is about loving to be in Africa and not wanting to leave great reaction I remember when this song first came out everyone was playing it everywhere and no matter how old it gets it still sounds just as good as when it first come out

@grosbeak6130 Год назад

Stop trying to figure it out all at once, and just let it flow for the first time when you're listening to it. Trying to appreciate fully this song the first time around and figuring it all out is not the way to go. Try to get the basic feeling of the song. And then maybe you won't get bored.

@paulocarvalho6480 Год назад

My dear, Africa is not a country, it is a continent. Or were you talking about South Africa? Funny as it may sound, this band was introduced in Portugal as a hard rock band. A huge lot of people I know from Africa told me "you can take the people from Africa, but not take Africa from the people". Good reaction. I advice you to listen this song with subtitles, it may be easier for you to understand what they sing about. Kind regards.

@jrgarciab Год назад

Yup, it's a continent.

@tomwolfe6063 Год назад

If you’re looking for stories in music, you’re going down the wrong path. That’s not what songs are typically attempting to express and this song is a perfect example. I’ve been singing the chorus to this song using the wrong lyrics for decades. However, when I realized my error and started using the correct lyrics, it did not change how this song makes me feel. Make sense?

If nobody else has already said it, the word for songs that tell stories is a ballad.

@TheCountofToulouse 11 месяцев назад

The song is about a Christian missionary. His fiance' is flying in to ask him to come back to England to get married but he has found his meaning in life by spreading the gospel and preaching the WORD in Africa. The line "Gonna take some time to do the things we never have" is telling her, I can't leave...there is still SO much left to do. It's about his passion for the LORD and the people he's teaching. It's also based on a true store that David Paich read in a Readers Digest.

I went to Africa as a Soldier and it was desolate. Specific countries were Djibouti, Sierra Leone and three areas within the Horn of Africa. Famine and disease were everywhere. malaria pills every Monday, mosquito nets for headgear, dysentery from water and human trafficking throughout. Do not be fooled by tourism because 80% of the country is bad…REALLY BAD!!

This is one of my all time favorite songs. I work in retail and this song used to play occasionally in the store. This past year they took it off the playlist. I'm still disappointed that I don't hear it at work anymore. Especially since a lot of the music is later 2000's pop that I can't stand. There are a few others I loved that got the axe this past year that I think you'd like. ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man" and "Cheap Sunglasses are great, and a more recent song that I actually enjoy by the artist "Portugal The Man" entitled "Feel It Still".
