Charles Bradley & Menahan Street Band - Why Is It So Hard?

[@michaelr.4878]

RIP Charles. I saw you in Canada about 5 years ago and it was truly inspirational. U turned a metal guy into a huge fan. I just wish u could have enjoyed ur new life for longer. U were truly great, my brother.

[@cfunkproductions]

Just found this guy on Spotify. Amazing album. Ashamed to have not known about him already.

[@vincentalfonzojamal]

Hopefully you've seen his documentary too. I felt that same "where have I been" when I first heard him.

[@skanderhannachi3071]

Thank you for the tip! Just discovered him too. KEXP 's video blew my mind

[@stevekutz802]

cfunkproductions I️ feel ya.. unfortunate for me.. I️ didn’t find him until October.. RIP Mr. Bradley

[@daviduzari8823]

cfunkproductions its never too late to find good music

[@JG-ep1mz]

The fact you found this singer nine years ago makes me sad. For me.

[@SergioBlackDolphin]

Who is still listening Charles' songs timeless songs in 2023?

[@incrediblesloth85]

Rest in peace Charles

[@Jimbo1221]

Holy shit it felt like just last week he died....

[@OfficialDjAVE]

Rest In Peace :( Can't believe he's gone. I listened to his music every day.. Budos, Menahan, Daptones will miss you. I connected to every one of his records cause this guy knew pain, he knew the struggle of being brown in this country. Still can't believe this.

[@justincook1736]

I feel this song, everytime i clear one obstacle i get ten more thrown in my way, song makes me feel less alone, thank you Charles, lord bless your soul.

[@Beer-can_full_of_toes]

You are not alone.

[@Doshvari]

Why is it so hard To make it in America I try so hard To make it in America A land of milk and honey A land supposed to be built with love It take love and understanding To live and let live I was born in Gainesville Florida I traveled far and wide Then I moved to Brooklyn, New York Had hard times, for sometime I hold on Why is it so hard To make it in America I try so hard To make it in America Seemed like nothing was goin' right So I said to myself You got to move away from here I went to upstate New York A little town they call Poughkeepsie Got me a job To get away from all this stress But I couldn't get away No matter how far I went Seems like nothing gonna change Everything still remained the same Why is it so hard To make it in America I try so hard To make it in America Why, tell me, tell me We gotta make a change, in America Help me somebody

[@amitw221]

RIP Charles. Thank you for such beautiful and honest music

[@funnybonestuff]

I saw him live at The Bowery Ballroom four years ago and he blew the roof off.

[@sledge4646]

You're so lucky.

[@caddyb4342]

[@killathrill1]

GEORGE FLOYD AND CHARLES BRADLEY WILL LIVE FOREVER.

[@LL-hc3zm]

Charles Bradley didn't hold a pregnant woman at gunpoint and rob her. Or have a huge criminal background. Disgusting you compared Floyd to the great Bradley

[@andrewcorbett5729]

Charles had talent and the other guy was a career criminal. No comparison.

[@dragonozwald9184]

If this song doesn't give you the feels you don't have a heart.

[@77kaz77]

It is the same, here in Bulgaria!

[@LucasSeman]

that´s what I like about the so called "American dream", it´s pretty much anyone´s dream, and anywhere in the world. :)

[@krustypunk2]

& in Mexico...

[@alexandredasilva5892]

In brasil

[@jayinla81]

Ernesto Morenov it's hard to come up in a broken system in Mex. Breaks my heart to have to leave the culture in HOPE of a better life here in California. It's still hard AF, but it's weird, as cliche as it sounds, hope is the only thing that makes me work 80 hours a fucking week.

[@stepbystep5431]

Кофти като няма работа, но песента е много добра

[@hiphopluva7]

[@rabbsneitor]

what? Krampus the monster?

[@AckShNz]

lies, you don't have a girlfriend..animals don't count

[@ms-iz9ye]

AckShNz if your comment was for me then I feel bad for you. You're obviously immature and don't know any better so I can only feel pity for you. It's ok though I'm just glad you feel better by trying to insult a stranger who you have no reason to bother.

[@fherl.l.9392]

bello !

[@Marko955]

That instrumental is on fire! Can somebody recommend me songs with similar sound? Thank you

[@BornAndErrorOccur]

Well, imagine how hard it is to make it in Africa..

[@lv330]

People move to US from hope, from hope of a better life and what they find is sadness

[@BornAndErrorOccur]

L V sadly true..

[@dabsum2728]

WHY IS IT SOOO HARD.......TO TAKE NORMAL HUMAN SIZED BITES OUT OF SANDWICHES.... I TRYYYY SOOO HARD

[@PsychicAlchemy]

Because America has sorely neglected the land value tax dividends that are integral to a fair market.
