If you’re here in 2024, you have a very special taste in music

This song wasn't recommended to you. You searched for it.

I was 17 when this song came out 🩵 I can't believe its been 11 years, the memories this songs brings, beautiful and nostalgic memories ✨️🎶💕

I just crying... Why? Beautifull!!! 2024 again

This song is pure pain. This song is pure hope.

Confirmed, I will never, ever, get tired of this piece of art.

I remember when this came out 10 years ago, now I'm 24. Crazy how time flies by... It still hits emotionally in the same way

I remember listening to this song on repeat in 2013. I was 18/19 and going through a very difficult period in my life. Revisiting it now and the emotions from that time feel like they are being released from my body. Music is magic. I wish you all well out there.

I think this is one of the best songs ever made in the history. It’s just a great song, listening to it i get really sad but also very happy in the same time.

This is beautiful , yet sad song. It's a song about people who can only dream about better future. It's a song about poverty, but also it's a song abou tthe beauty of being happy in the present moment, about being happy by self-expression, dance and joy.

I m in Ukraine. Listening that sound and thinking about passed happy times. About sunshine mood in summer. About love and peace. Peace for eveybody guys. Remember that ! Only love and freedom rules the world

Probably top 10 songs in history of life

Somehow this song makes me sad and happy at the same time:)

This song for me is something else. Pure emotional. In January 2021 I’m still here

Anyone who likes this comment will help me get closer to make my biggest dream come true, to travel to Africa

July 2015 I move out of my family home and out of my island home, I left friends, family and my whole life behind to move across the ocean, another country, another continent, another life, scared, sad, excited, I felt it all, luckily for me I met people that experienced the same thing And We became best friends. We’ve, laughed, gathered and cried to this song. Forever in my heart

This song makes me understand why people look for an escape in life. Life is hard, be kind.

fave Major Lazer single - not even a question about it.

Even 10 years later and this songs still a vibe ✨

Danm man those days never come back

still the best song ever of major lazer

Jamaican culture roots from AFRICA. RYTHM and Dance just a different art form. FACT!! This video talks about being free. It demonstrates being free through music and dance the only way most 3rd world people can escape from their troubles and political corruption . Jamaican culture has been watered down due to acculturation. Thid is when different cultures mix I. E. Western culture. Being black is not a colour is an act through customs and traditions. HOW FREE IS THE BLACK WORLD WHEN THEIR POLITICALLY AND ECONOMICALLY controlled by the western world. Freedom is in the mind and the soul. Politics and society have put a barrier on how far you can rise. But once the mind is free u can rise higher. Freedom is a right not a gift.

It’s this very song that brought upon my greatest realization. I listened endlessly in Warsaw, Poland. “Look at me, I just can’t believe what they’ve done to me” Now, GO GET FREE!

If you still listen to this song, it is definitely one of your best in the whole wide world

Wow I will always come back here. This song takes your heart places :)

In love with this song in 2020!

It’s crazy how long i’ve had this stuck in my head, probably since this song came out 10 years ago. Kept coming back, forgetting it, and then desperately looking for it and enjoying it all over again. Goddamn persistence out here!

2052. Still love this music

"Look at me, I just can't believe, what they've done to me; We could never be free." I GET SHIVERS. So beautiful.

I don't understand why this is not on radio ?O

This song makes me unleash emotions I never thought I had. Spiritual awakening.

Every few months I return

Major lazer can have music videos like this to bubble butt. Talk about variety. I love it because it mimics how humans can be deep and insightful to amazingly moronic all at the same time.

my friend Levi used to rock this tune at the skate bowl super loud ghetto blaster right after lighting a 4 gram pre roll and passin it around....Levi hasnt been around anymore or ever again but hes not forgotten and alive forever in hearts like mine MUCH LOVE LEVI you are kindness and freedom and positivity wont ever forget ya

Who's here in 2023 and still can't get enough of this piece of art? I know I cant...

This song was a huge part of the inspiration for my relocation to Costa Rica. The message in the lyrics, the vibe, the energy of the composition, all influenced my unconscious mind to manifest my dreams in this reality. Thanks yall

the first time i heard this song I fall in love, so beautful

This ain't no song, this is some spiritual Shiettt that gets straight to soul

This song to me is the definition of freedom. Feel so free listening to this beautiful track

this song gives me a bittersweet feeling. makes me wanna cry and smile at the same time.

This is truly one of the best songs ever! There are songs that I love for a long time that I eventually get away from. But this right here!!! This is till my death. Diplo for pres!

I remember when their was 2000 vies on thus song. .I was 23...and living life...this song brings back amazing memories from the good days I listen to it every week.

Estoy aquí por la pensión ❤

I don't normally make a post, but I must for this song. I've watched this video time and time again and it still resonates an unbelievably strong feeling me. This song alone made me love major laser. To some people, this is a good song, average, an ok song, a one time listen...i understand why they would say that they haven't lived and experienced Jamaica like few...but to people from Jamaica, words bearly sum up what this video is and means. It's not just another video and not just another song, major laser here has just created art in it's truest form. This art can easily sum up the life (all experiences, knowledge, pain, love ups and downs) of most if not all the Jamaicans of my generation, as hard as the feat is. Just lost for words every time I watch this art. I would sit in a room with friends, people, strangers, all will watch and as they watch you can look around and see the expressions on their faces, some say it has a nice beat, some say they like the singer's voice, but you will find the one or two captured and captivated by the art, as if someone was telling their whole life story. Not a word you will hear from them, as they sit in deep silence reminiscing on the feelings, the experiences, the life...this video brings back as they realize in that very moment that everything can be all summed up so eloquently.

I was a kid when I first listened this song. So many dreams. So many things happened since. I'm 21, and I still just want to be free and be only myself.

My daughter "Meisha" passed away on 31 March 2023 aged 24. She was troubled in life by what some people had done to her. She sent me the link to this song a few years ago before mental health issues became worse. It hurts so bad for what men had done to her for years that I had no knowledge of, or could prevent at the time. So sad! It appears that a guy gave her an overdose because she didn't love him! This song I will always remember by.

Heading downstream till the levee gives in What can i do to get the money We ain't go the money, we ain't gettin' out Heading downstream till the levee gives in And my dreams are wearin' thin All I need's relief I need I need some sympathy Look at me I Just can't believe What they've done to me We could never get free I just wanna be Look at me I Just can't believe What they've done to me We could never get free I just wanna be I just wanna dream All of my life been wadin in Water so deep now we got to swim Wonder will it ever end How long how long till we have a friend Comin' down, feelin' like a battery hen Waves won't break till the tide comes in What will I do in the sunrise What will I do without my dreams Look at me I Just can't believe What they've done to me We could never get free I just wanna be Look at me I Just can't believe What they've done to me We could never get free I just wanna be I just wanna dream We're all together in the same boat I know you, you know me Baby, you know me We're all together in the same boat I know you, you know me Baby, you know me We're all together in the same boat I know you, you know me Baby, you know me I Just wanna dream I Just wanna dream I Just wanna dream Baby, you know me

Don't where i heard this song, the lyrics just stuck in my head, searched them and now i'm here, beautiful music

3:25 - 3:56 that instrumental make me feel broke but i love it

La pensión!!!!!

Damn !heard this in a cafe today and shazamed it expecting it to be new!woaw!!!!obsessed!

Maybe someone can give songs similar to this, so light? God damnit Im so into it and I want moore.

GOTTA LOVE JAAAAMAAAICAAAAAAAA

Even better in 2024. Amber Coffman is some kind of angel

Aquí por la Pensión

Am I the only one crying rivers to this?

I love the color grading. Nice vocals, too! Beautiful voice combined with documentary style shooting makes you get a silent impression of the people. The grading creates a solemn environment, with people seemingly having fun and others staring blankly, looks of what seem to be despair on their faces.

Still best song in 2023! Found my happy place since 11 years :)

Everytime I listen to this song I get emotional rollercoaster. This song will never get boring

3:54 chick be like "hell no you aint getting this" lol this video captures quite a bit of Jamaican culture, major props to the producer.

Jamaican culture is so beautiful and powerfull, just look at every single man/woman in the video, everyone has a story to tell thst could blow you away. Peace ! 🇯🇲

I hope every future generation will keep this song alive

Happy 11th birthday to this gem 🕊

This song brings me so many memories...

The video is about the damage western popular culture did to the african culture and to its people. This is real, and it should make u feel bad. And so the lyrics fit perfectly.

My number 1 greatest song ever made

Anyone listening to this classic in 2023?

This is absolutly breath taking... It all comes down to this. We are all the same. Everywhere. Period.

*this song feels like it was always been around, since the beginning of music* *Strange? But that's what i felt while listening*

This song just hits different after being in the military for 10 years. I was absolutely lost when this song came out, but I was free. Now I don't even resemble the person I was... for better or worse. I hope to get free again.

Was listening to this back in 2014 when I got the news about my dad's death . Each time I miss him .. I come here to #Getfree 😢

This has to be the greatest song, I have EVER heard.

Dunno why this song didn't become popular in France, maybe because young french only want music to dance on in shitty club. My favorite from major lazer btw.

Vengo por la pensión

Ive been struggling with life ... i am struggling with life 😢 but i keep on living this song bring so much emotion but happiness at same time im 36 surely it will get better at some point just one good year. Ive battled mental health for years, cocaine use and deep emotinal scars but cant give up for my daughters! But i have to stop or remove the problem me for good so i dont ruin their lifes like i am mine!!!!! Sorry just wanted to speak as i cant speak to others around me ❤ from uk east mids CM

only jamaica..................have to love it

All these people look like they know each other, like its a big family. And I wanna be part of it.

That's what music should be about! Good vibes and great emotions ❤❤❤

Who else is listening to this masterpiece in 2022 ?

Best Major Lazer's song. Who thinks the same?

FYI Jamaica is like any other place. For each bad place Jamaica has there are also good parts. And Jamaica is not all blacks. You'll be surprised to find a good population of whites and Asians that live there and go to school. Jamaicans are highly educated and the education level there is a lot higher there then in certain countries. While your kids are learning elementary school work in elementary, kids in Jamaica are learning high school work in elementary. Crime rate there is high but not as bad as people portray it to be. Before being hypocrites actually study the place and actually visit it. You would learn a lot from doing that. Don't just go on what racist ignorant people say.

I forgot about this song for years i ammm livinggggg life rn

This video used to scare me to death when i was young, cant help but loving it rn, just art

how there are 5k+ people that dislike this beautiful song is beyond comprehension

Anyone 2019?? 😍😘

10% baywatch fans 90% major lazer fans

Los que llegamos por la pensión...

kinda makes me wanna go to Jamaica

that last guy riding the horse looks as free and happy as a human can be

I have cried a lot with this wonderful but painful song at the same time

I never heard of this song before but now I cannot stop listening to this master piece.

i love this song so much.. id have it playing in my head for hours and hours.. of the days Humanity has really enslaved themselves all over the world.. most are living to work, or survive I like this song wanna BE FREE

why are 14 millions viewers ? I wish 140 millions. it's a great song :'(

Can't get enough! Nostalgia mixed with a bit of sadness and euphoria at the same time. omg what a masterpiece.

I found this song today and it somehow catches my mood. After working hard for 6 months, my season opener was far from what I thought it would be like. I feel defeated, aimless and a bit frustrated at the world right now. Yet I still believe that there has to be something more. I’m still dreaming and I’m still fighting. This song gives me that feeling of being in a hopeless situation, yet dreaming of something better. To quote Oscar Wilde: «We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars».

I heard this song at a party and fell in love.

Regular people make this vodeo fresh....not some producer with lights,money and fame.

i just wanna dream i just wanna dream i just wanna dream

This is art. This is a masterpiece.

Video is about the effects of western capitalist and consumerist culture on smaller societies like Jamaica and the poverty in which they live yet how they manage to keep themselves satisfied despite their conditions. Jamaica isn't the only country. Go to most "third world" countries and you'll see similar scenes of people in poverty with smart phones, watching fights on TV, wearing popular brands and aspiring to live like the western world. Everything at the expense of their own culture for the most part. It shows how the capitalist consumerist culture is consuming the world from the penthouse of fortune 500 companies all the way down to the homeless from third world countries Nah. It's just a video of Jamaicans.
