No state banquet or command performance is complete without this song.

naptu2:
This was one of the other "state songs", along with the hausa song that I posted above, Omo Pupa and Iya Ni Wura. It's also one of the most popular highlife songs. The song has been covered many times.

(By the way, don't forget to click the link that's attached to my last post above. It'll prompt you to download a voicenote of me playing the hausa song on my keyboard).

Aha! I'll use this as an example.

Make sure you go through the list properly before saying that somebody is not on it, because most times they are already on the list. For example, both the original version and the cover version of Fuel For Love are on the list.

The base guitar! Those insane trumpets! The back up singers! The message!

Sonny Okosun. London. 1982.


(The trumpets go. Tada tana nana na na na na. And the bass guitar imitates them)

Mother,
You are my soul,
Mother teach me to smile,
Because I'm still a child.

Mother,
You are my life,
Mother teach me to live,
Because I'm still a child.

Mother,
You are my sight.
Mother lead me to the end,
Because I'm still a child.

Mother,
You are my song,
Mother teach me how to sing,
Because I'm still a child.

Mother (mother mother mother),
Show me the way
(Show me the way),
I'm afraid to walk in thee dark,
Because I'm still a child.


Mother and child.

Mother and child.

La la la la la la.

And the crazy keyboard begins.

La la la la la la la

Mother and child

Mother and child.


What an absolutely pleasant song!

♪Ah! I came from far away now just to set my eyes on you.
I felt the apprehension as soon as I was landing
I knew something was wrong and I couldn't get my heart's desire


Ah! I came from far away now just to set my eyes on you.
I know you made me cry once, no, even twice
I knew something was wrong and I couldn't get my heart's desire

Ah! I came from far away now just to set my eyes on you.
I felt the apprehension as soon as I was landing
I knew something was wrong and I couldn't get my heart's desire

I'm going now, I'm going now, I'm going (Don't go oh oh)

But I'm living my life now just to make you my own
I'm leaving all these things just to do what you say
I'll leave you with my love if you give me your love
I'll give you everything now just to get my heart's desire

Ah! I came from far away now just to set my eyes on you.
I felt the apprehension as soon as I was landing
I knew something was wrong and I couldn't get my heart's desire

I'm going now, I'm going now, I'm going (Don't go oh oh)
But my heart breaks♫

I HAVE FOUND IT!!! I HAVE FOUND IT!!! I HAVE FOUND IT!!!


This is a momentous occasion! It is an epoch making event! Wow!


This is the song that I have written about on this thread countless times. This is the song that I have been searching for! I couldn't remember its name and I couldn't remember if it was by Kris Okotie or Jide Obi, but this is the song! This is the song!

Unfortunately the video doesn't get to the end of the song, but I don't care. This is the song!

Kris Okotie - I'm Going Now (1979)

naptu2:
At last! I can post this song on this thread!

I searched for this song for a long time, but it was blocked on YouTube. I searched for it again in 2016 because I wanted to include it in my thread, but it was still blocked.


Then, at last, the new YouTube licensing system meant that it was unblocked last year. I posted it on another thread last year and I'm glad to finally post it on this thread.


My joy isn't complete though. The piano line at the very beginning has been made very low and it's almost inaudible. The song has also been slowed down a bit (I like the original fast pace).
