Edited : Green for Blind Melon, 4 Non Blonds, Radiohead too and a special mention for Paolo Nutini I didn't kow too.

Mary J. Blige sang this with Bono in 2006 for a benefit for victims of hurricane Katrina. Blige then recorded it with Bono and U2 for her album "Reminisce".
Beautiful and either way you slice it, it's a very applicable song to many situations.

Great Cover by Sara Niemietz of Adeles - Rolling in the Deep. Great voice and easy to look at !

Richard Marx and Sara Niemietz - "Keep Coming Back" (Live) ...Amazing

Can you say it again in way more easy to understand (dumb down if you prefer) to foreigners ?

Certainly. The reason you couldn't understand it, by the way, is prolly (i.e. probably) because it merged thoughts in an incoherent fashion. It was nothing to do with Foreigner either. Back to your question. Thought number 1: oldies rock is generally rock and roll from the beginning of rock (1950s) through 1979 (this is a generality). Your beautiful track was a song from a movie made in 1984. When I viewed, it appeared dated (again, I loved the track) and, therefore, qualifying as a 'rock 'n roll oldie', which would greatly improve the image of that genre, IMNSMFHO (IN MY NOT SO MOTHERFUCKING HONEST OPINION). Thence my snide comment on the sad state of people who say they listen to that claptrap (I don't know what it means but it's bad). I only listen to it in the closet (?)

We are going nowhere here.

Lets go back to the basics

No song better sums up a memorable period in the 60s than this song. Just a beautifully written song. A moment of greatness 46 years ago

Scott McKenzie ...1939--2012
