VIDEO: John Legend & The Roots in "Wake Up Everybody"

5 comments

The dynamic duo John Legend and The Roots have done it again (we covered their song "The Fire" a while back) with a much more mellow video called "Wake Up Everybody" feat. Common and Melanie Fiona from their 2010 release Wake Up!. While somewhat organic in its visual content (i.e. loosely spitting out a bluesy R&B ditty on some NY steps), the message is inspiring. Check it out:

“ This is perfection. And Melanie Fiona is easily one of my favorite singers. Her album is a great throwback. ”

“ "The world won't get no better if we just let it be...we got to change, just you and me...Wake up all the builders, time to build a new land, if we all just lend a hand... Wake up everybody, no more sleeping in bed...Wake up everybody..." Good song, great lyrics! ”

The Roots And John Legend Bring The Fire

“ ...You don't say "Good luck", you say "Don't give up", it's the fire, inside ya, let it burn... Yeah, and if I'm ever at the crossroads and start feelin' mixed signals like Morse code, my soul start to grow colder than the North Pole, I try to focus on the holder where the torch goes...I realize I'm supposed to reach for the skies, never let anyone tell you otherwise... There's something in your heart, and it's in your eyes, it's the fire, inside ya. Let it burn...You don't say "Good luck", you say, "Don't give up", it's the fire, inside ya, let it burn...One love, one game, one desire. One flame, one caught fire, let it burn higher. I never show signs of fatigue, but you're tired. Cuz I'm the definition of tragedy turned triumph. It's David and Goliath, I made it to the eye of the storm, feeling tall, like they fed me to the lions...I show 'em how to grind down like a science.It sounds like a riot, uh-huh it's so quiet, the only sound I hear is my heart, the highest victory is what I came to take...You came to celebrate, I came to cerebrate. Really inspiring lyrics... ”
