KONGOS - Escape - Official Music Video

[@klaudia3836]

It’s been like 10 years since I found Kongos and “Escape” was my and my BFF’s favourite song. We would plan or just imagine different things we’re going to do in our lives as adults. Where we could escape to. We were always together, not as couple, but true friends. We had this bond that happens once in a lifetime, the one that you just know you’re soulmates. Unfortunately he passed away this year at the age of 25 💔 I’ve been out of country and we haven’t seen each other for about 4 years in real life… I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye. I can’t change anything now, but I just wish I could spend more time with you… I hope you escaped to some really nice, beautiful place, K. Goodbye.

Still gets me. Right in the feels. Was about 14 when this came out. Now I'm 23. Crazy.

[@petercroche254]

Turi ainge, it never gets old😁

[@LuisCortes-xi7gs]

[@craigflixchill]

An ode to South Africa. What a band, what a music video ♥

[@Valgor64]

Proudly South African

[@TH3GAMINGMAST3R]

this song is more fitting than ever right now

[@wolflair3329]

Bullshit. Regardless of what's going on it's still possible to grab life and live it. Sick of hearing about people who've written 2020 off, dark times blah blah blah

[@aaronnoneya8071]

Especially in Lebanon.. 😭😭 #PrayForLebanon

[@jcampo4]

Listening to this during Covid-19 Pandemic Lockdown is actually heartwarming. Thanks Kongos.

[@dollsway8816]

This song makes you want to escape from this sick world with the one you truly love and loves you back!!!!!!!!

[@GasOil85]

We need more music like the Kongos put out. They are extremely artistic. They actually play instruments. That's unheard of these days.

[@sakhigcabashe6970]

This song will always be my favorite from KONGOS, it reminds me of 2012 when I was 19.

[@carlmanx1680]

I've been battling allot of demons lately and have dealt with allot of Loss.. my heart has been beating but I haven't been living.. this song makes me want to Live again. Big thanks to the Kongo's!

[@Serryblue22]

All those places in the video I have traveled many many times, memories and the best years of my life belong to South Africa.

[@heyitslivyy]

I love the story that this song has. That No matter where you are, as long as you are together, there is love..even in the dark times of life

[@zzxxxlll]

this is love at the first sight, what a great music this band makes

[@sohebkhan007]

Andrea Pinto Uribe - You r beautiful, this song is beautiful, this world is beautiful :)

[@razorshade9487]

There is no such thing as love at first sight, fyi.

[@thetruthproject.4382]

+RazorShade a popular opinion by those who are closed off.

[@razorshade9487]

The Truth Project. No I mean scientifically speaking it doesn't exist. I've watched videos on the specific topic

[@bbb-1-2-3]

love at first cord...

[@AlexisEnora]

A brilliant reminder of the undeniable beauty of South Africa. An amalgamation of warm smiles and sincerity from the people, along with breathtaking sceneries and nature at its best. Just what I needed on this beautiful sunny morning in Johannesburg.

Old old comment

[@GaryD9871]

Went to see KONGOs Sept 30, 2017...! Cold night in Cleveland, Ohio and fewer than 200 fans present. But these wonderful, super musicians played like they were playing for 20k. They must have seen the joy in this 65-year-old leaning and rockin' on his cane happy as hell...! And knew they were appreciated.

[@fietaboys7403]

SOUTH AFRICA YOU BEAUT!

[@terrakhemiri375]

Another wonderfully creative group of musicians to make life better. Music heals, lifts and opens the soul and bands like this are such a gift to that process.

[@ritab5153]

8 yrs later, and still one of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard. sadly, here we are.

[@krosey]

This song makes me get the best feeling. When it starts, I calm down and become engulfed by the simplicity. Then right when Jesse starts playing at 0:49, my heart skips a beat and my chest tightens. I get the feeling of extreme euphoria, but there's a hint of sadness behind it. It's even better seeing them perform this song live since I'm surrounded by the music. It's honestly the weirdest feeling, but I love it.

[@patricksltk7861]

ich feel the same way! pls marry me!

[@isabellarhiner8119]

I thought it was just me.

[@halogenie1]

hi Katie i remember listening to their father John Kongos in the early 70s and his music was great and played in an apartheid country then!

[@hectormartinnavarro402]

Katie Alvarez it's the power of music Katie I feel the same, this song is specially strong and beautiful, you descrbed it perfectly... and I know you may hear this alot but you are actually really beautiful, hope you have a good day!!!! hope everybody has a good day from Spain!!!!

[@krosey]

Hector Martin Navarro I'm so passionate for music! It's so amazing, powerful, and sacred. I love it. And thank you so much! Have a nice day!

[@halogenie1]

this music is out of this world I cannot believe the depth and talent I am listening to I admired their father John and his Great Tokoloshe Man 1971 noreen UK

[@wholewheatcracker3561]

This song came on Pandora while I was on a road trip with my friends, it felt pretty deep tbh

[@8kknight145]

This song makes Me cry so much it reminds me of everything. My issues now. When I was young and mom used to carry me up the stairs. I miss what I had. Love this sing brings back everything

[@nanistb18]

I love KONGOS, when i listen this song i can think better and i forget my problems. I really enjoy this song In the KONGOS concert in Colombia I saw the girl of this video accompanying them close to the stage while they played.

[@GaryD9871]

This girl is Jesse's wife.

[@4x4Moses]

I'm just an old dude that loves this kind of music! It's awesome!!!

[@mosehlanemadihlaba9512]

Reminds of my days as a student at University of Pretoria. How I miss those days. ❤❤❤

[@BattleAxe48]

you make me so proud to be South African, you guys are as good if not better than a lot of the international artists xxx

[@AtticusCougar]

You dudes have quickly become my favorite band.

[@FieryLittleRaven]

I usually listen to Metal but these guys have something I feel !

[@CincinnatiRon]

They have a touch of metal to them

[@ultimatetrishbhatia]

6 years late, but same here

[@claireholtak1711]

Love the Cape Town Video - the 4 Kongos brothers live in Arizona but started life in Johannesburg, SA.

[@monkeyman123321]

I've head this band on the radio a few times and loved I'm Only Joking. Listening to their other stuff I find that I really like the drum snares that they use. It's a great raw sound.

[@georgia4690]

This song makes me homesick

[@Ashwillhay]

Cape Town! I love this song and this band.

[@TruthHrtz413]

escaping the b.s. of the lives we live- Love it- been hooked since first heard comewithmenow ..So refreshing to hear REAL MUSIC

[@BmThMuNkEy]

SOUTH AFRICA!!!

[@sashaarpant]

Escape Every few thousand years Come true man's greatest fears All the living things Mother nature brings to tears When the bombs are bursting in the air And the rockets are making that red glare I'm heading down Down to that good hope town, where the weather's fair So why don't you come away With me my love We'll do what it takes I'll keep you safe Why don't you stay by me And when the time comes We'll escape When the big one finally hit's LA When Yellowstone has it's day We're heading to the southern tip On a plane or on a ship We'll do what it takes, we'll find a way And if that cloud forms up above No sign anywhere of a dove There'll be no reason left to stay We'll try and live another day In a place where there's still love So why don't you come away With me my…

[@ThisRitaRocks]

I can not stop listening to this song. Possibly one of the most beautiful i've ever heard

[@subbusubbu695]

Became my favorite band... Their music from each song is different... Come with me now, I wish that song should have got 2 billion likes.

[@siyabongamaseti8729]

My favourite of them all!

[@cody_creates]

The most cheerful, heartfelt, apocalypse song ever. :D

[@deeking3693]

I don't care how old this album is or this song.. every time I hear it, I just feel like I have escaped!

[@TheFinnmacool]

I love @ 2:55! It looked soooo unplanned which makes for great video!

[@metalman286]

That was pretty funny

[@joeltheowl3299]

A few years ago (3-4) I discovered Kongos. Listened to both their albums, especially the first one a lot of times until I moved on to other bands. Fast forward to 2019, I'm listening to one of my newer favorite bands The Joy Formidable on shuffle and one very familiar song starts playing. What are the odds that they made a cover of this song and I would come across it... It's good to listen to you guys again after all this time.

[@seabell475]

Loveliest song Ive heard in ages- Apocolyptic and romantic

[@TshepoThaela]

Sjoe but The Kongos never cease to impress, Proud to be from South Africa

[@maryfer7930]

[@crabbybanana714]

What I like about this band is that the songs all sound different from each other. And all of the songs are great.

[@alisonharriotthey-them9354]

My friends know how excited I get whenever bands have a song that involves clapping, so to say the least I am in love with your music :) Come to Portland again! Your show is already sold out- Congrats!! but I wasn't able to snag a ticket. I'm a huge fan of PinkFloyd and I really enjoy how you are a beautiful blend of Floyd and The Beatles. Tis quite lovely:)

[@jkghtjf]
