Lyrics:
I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
It's gonna take a lot to take me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
(I bless the rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa
(I bless the rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
(Ah, gonna take the time)
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
Songwriters: David Paich / Jeff Porcaro
"Africa" is a song by the American rock band Toto. It was included on their fourth studio album Toto IV, and released as a single on September 30, 1982. It reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart on February 5, 1983 (the band's only Billboard number one), and number three on the UK Singles Chart the same month. The song was written and composed by the band members David Paich and Jeff Porcaro.
The song saw a resurgence in popularity via social media during the 2010s. In the midst of the song's growing popularity, the band Weezer recorded a cover version in 2018 that peaked at number 51 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart. In the U.S., the single was initially certified gold by the RIAA in 1991. However, since its renewed popularity, sales of both the original Toto single and the Weezer cover have surged, with the original single certified platinum in 2017, and most recently 4x Platinum in October 2018.

[@allanharvell2431]

Beautifully Done Such A Talented Singer with feelings in her music !!

[@kangooroo1]

Such a good heart, this woman. She wears some artificial fur for the clip, and makes sure that everyone knows for sure that no Leopard was hunted. Such a great heart.

[@QClubs]

Makes me feel better to know that.👍

[@ramblinman4290]

Alyona, you are the queen of harmonies. The best!

[@derplovestravel1777]

I remember this song, last I heard it was 5 years ago. There's a singing concert thing in the UK that involves primary schools nationwide and we sung this in 2017 (I think) Although I hated primary school cause of the bullying, this memory does bring a tear to my eye

[@laurachapple6795]

Some people were just born to sing 80s ballads.

[@CraftyLoops]

I honestly think that there is no song out there that you couldn't sing! That was INCREDIBLE! Lee xx

[@zelvlogs2151]

Totally agree

[@billofjazz]

...including the NYC phone book.

[@claymileson6456]

I live in South Africa, and as I listen to you singing, it has begun to rain with a storm right overhead. The smell of early rain cannot be described. The song says it all.

[@SteveInQLD007]

just too much talent for one person to posses, sings all the parts, plays all instruments, produces the video, mixes the audio...simply brilliant!

[@whiteraven7777]

Those harmonies in the chorus...!!! 💖❤💙💚 Your versatility as a singer just astounds me. Excellent work.

[@prettypretty0186]

Thanks for covering most of the 80's song.. This experience is surreal for us. PERIOD ❤️

[@wernerjurgen5416]

What a Fantastic Chorus ! WOW 💕💕

[@golf77tango]

The only thing better than having Aly perform a song is having 5 of her doing the song! Hehe. All those different vocal harmonies looked like so much fun, though it no doubt took a lot of time and effort to do. Awesome singing!

[@RubCalBat]

OMG!!! She nails every single song she sings!!!

[@corypasqualetto5164]

Once again with the beauty, sound and grace of 1,000 angels Alyona has taken a great song and besides make it sound awesome she made it her own...way to knock it out of the park!!!

[@wagnermendes183]

She makes me cry, beautiful voice

[@rabbitleader2307]

Such a beautiful rendition of this song and those harmonies building to the end are simply heavenly.

[@flatulentcow4920]

The harmonies at 3:00 are amazing! Very beautiful voice.

[@daxie1026]

My God !!! You're the best of the best Aly !!! Please keep on. THANK YOU !!!

[@richardroger3431]

Великолепно !!! Скромная и такая талантливая!!! Пусть все продолжается творчество ,удача , любовь , успех.....

[@willie_layer2828]

Although her singing is impeccable, I find it nice that she uses multiples of herself (filmed separately) and then edit in those parts at the appropriate times. Not only in this one, but also in a lot of her other videos. Her attention to details are really cool.

[@mandyrobin6109]

❤

[@DusktilDawn-xq8rl]

Dolores O'Riordan did that in the Cranberries. So beautiful.❤🙂

[@user-vx9te8rc3b]

Great song, great voice.

[@rickgoodson9105]

Wow! Multiple....yous!!! Laying all of those separate tracks seems....complicated. Plus an all female "Africa." VERY nicely done, young lady. Nicely done indeed.

[@adrianofarrel8257]

Keep shining.... Keep singing... Congratulations.....

[@matthewfauvellmusic4016]

Can’t believe they named a continent after a song - nice job with it :)

[@mike7652]

apparently the other continents are arguing to be called Africa after hearing this

[@andrebotha2210]

The best is that I am living right there!

[@janokjaran]

They also named a band after a continent

[@crystalp7242]

Sunny Ramadhan There are actually *two* bands named after continents. Asia (a supergroup whose original lineup had members from the bands King Crimson, Yes, and Emerson, Lake & Palmer), whose biggest hit was “Heat of the Moment” (memorably featured in a South Park episode), and Europe (a hard rock and glam metal band from Sweden) whose best known songs are “The Final Countdown” and “Carrie”.

[@pogodanaprzygode]

Not the first time in history. For ex. Europa was named after success of the song "The FInal Countdown".

[@totowahyu5748]

I have watched several videos now. I can not believe how talented you are. I only know of 2 singers that can give me chills when they sing. Kelly Clarkson and now you. You sing with an angelic voice and you are VERY beautiful. I cannot understand how you do not have a record deal unless you just refuse the hundreds that flood your email. Best of luck to you and know that I am listening to all you do!
