One of the best bands EVER.

[@chawk678]

Criminally underrated band

[@davidteissier5704]

Absolutely ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@mariepaisley8498]

The saddest song I have ever heard. Tears for those who jumped that day

[@Xgerl]

This song have lived in my head rent free for years. I heared it a lot when I was in high school, then suddenly I couldn't find it anywhere.....but I couldn't forget. Everytime I was singling this in my head I felt something was missing. Today at age of 36 it came back to me with sweet memories of youth & promise of the future, eventhough we all know what this song is about. It feels so good.

[@TheManamba]

Living Colour have always been excellent. For this song alone, they deserve a prize.

[@vstags]

Amazing tribute to the brave souls taken on 9/11

[@bigbopper6434]

What a powerful song. What a tragic subject. Delivered beautifully by these treasures of the music world. These guys never disappoint.

[@matthius23]

Holy shit... that solo 🤯

[@antonionovi1706]

What a stunning performace by all band and Corney first. it could not describe better the sense of tragedy, desperation and sadness happening. Musically they are also on another planet

[@lebheidenstrm5392]

I do think kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6fJqqmNiaeJd6c&ab_channel=MrKafaley is a better version. The solo is less repetitive and stops exactly when it should, and the ending is really haunting with Vernon's backwards loop. I always feel disappointed in the studio version not carrying on.

[@davidelliott8113]

today is 9-11, and this is the ONLY song I care to listen to, simply because it's the best!

[@chawk678]

Put it in my calendar to remember to listen to it every year

[@laurengriffin5713]

I also always pair it with Tori Amos - I Can't See New York.

[@dalemcilwain]

I jumped out of the window to get to the parking lot. I'm writing this little song on my way down.

[@keithharris1672]

Living Colour, making you feel it.

[@seanking1044]

gorgeous....tragically gorgeous.

[@TheChadster789]

I saw them play this tonight, it really was something else on the 20th anniversary of that day, almost cried. Such an amazing band, they out on an incredible show as always. ❤️

[@sfullernj]

Incredible band. Every time I get the pleasure of seeing them in England is one of the best rock/music moments of my life

[@OndrausCissell]

I just saw them this past Sunday in Lexington, Kentucky at the Manchester Music Hall. They played this ! It was amazing ! They were phenomenal as usual !!!! CHEERS FROM LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY !!!!

[@taurushamilton2739]

Vernon= Beast 👏🏾🔥🤘🏾✊🏾

[@spoddie]

I have been a fan of Living Colour since Vivid and I have only just found out what this song is about. Now I'm kind of overwhelmed by emotion.

[@goodgirlee01]

Wow his voice kind of reminds me of "Seal" powerful😍

[@Forsyth1969]

Just heard this for the first time when I woke this morning. Make that two songs by Living Colour that bring me to tears (Open Letter to a Landlord, being the first).

[@BlueOysterStan]

So much emotion in this version compared to the studio recording. You can feel the weight of the tragedy that this song is about here.

[@WeanerBeaner69]

Seeing them again next week in wales. Seen them soo many times and doubt i will ever see them perform this live 😢

[@johnIZaUWL]

A CRIME this ain't getting played as often as "Cult..." On any rock formatted radio is it not????

[@amostlyreasonableguy]

Cult of personality is the only song by them I’ve EVER heard on the radio.

[@Mannyr-bu7qv]

@@amostlyreasonableguy smh, they have several radio hits. Type, open letter to a landlord, Elvis is dead, leave it alone, glamour boys

[@amostlyreasonableguy]

Mannyr 2424 you can shake your head all you want - I know they’ve had other successful songs - but in 30+ years I’ve personally only EVER heard cult of personality on the radio. It’s a reflection of radio sucking, not anything bad about them.

[@chawk678]

Saw these guys at Trenton State College in January 1988. They opened for Fishbone. Criminally underrated band. Both of them.

[@piotrwieczorkowski390]

I love this song

[@Rasnal00]

Wonderful and... very very sad I don't know how to feel it But musically speaking ... Great song

[@dprescigno]

Thanks for posting this performance, Vernon. This composition is so good it deserves an 8 minute version! It's inspired. So much unresolvable pain. Incredible performance from an incredible band of artists.

[@Parrish_Muhoberac]

Well SAID, Don Resigno. I just am in AWE of this performance. Living Colour taught me how to play drums, guitar, bass and sing at a very early age. and they are STILL ROCKING like they were in 1986

[@dprescigno]

@@Parrish_Muhoberac Same here. Their impact on music, musicians, social issues, etc. is undeniable.

[@beppespara7757]

I love it.

[@thefusionboothincident]

Thanks for posting this video ! So many years ago I became a dedicated fan as I watched you guys perform on SNL and have enjoyed your amazing intensity since then. This is the life is one of my personal favorites and Flying is right up there with it.

[@filthybstard]

awesome

[@asabifatosin1150]

Yes, gorgeous

[@FrankBittom1]

Esto fue lo mejor de rock al parque 2013 que Living Colour uno de los mejores grupos del mundo tocaran ante poca gente como en sus mejores tiempos,..igual paso con Jeff Beck cuando estuvo en Colombia, pero esa es la mejor musica la que trasiende en el tiempo y la memoria.

[@wonderjesus]

Only just found this track ❤️🙏🏻 new fave band ❤️🙏🏻💋

[@sfullernj]

sooo good!

[@jerryvivanco4898]

Whoa.......................!!!!!!!!!!! FUCKIN' BRILLIANT!!🎹🎵🎼🎶🇺🇸

[@tonyarobinson5047]

Love it! :-) :-) :-)

[@beatriz4998]

❣️🥰

[@EduardoGarcia-yr7er]

Vernon's solo....I'm still a beginner....

[@B2BRestaurantReviews]

Much slower than album version I like it

[@pepemolina]

mi banda favorita del metal

[@keithharris1672]

911......yeah Vernon, play that shit !

[@htsawyers]

👏 Bravo, 👏 Bravo, 👏

[@someonesstorypodcast1915]

As tragic and sad as this song is, it also captures a strange sense of morbid and radical acceptance of one’s fate. I might even argue that it celebrates the jumper and his coworker for taking their inevitable death into their own hands in a proactive way rather than staying to burn in the tower.

[@funkydod]

Dough the genius

[@robanderson4812]

thats a bad ass spector bass!!! dont see Doug play this one alot!!!

[@David-cl7pe]

MAGIC 98.73

[@alexandretheodoro2414]

A voz não muda...

[@sevendblackjem]

Never forget 911 🇺🇸

[@marieSnowtruthjustice]

The most haunting song ever. 911 was bad enough but the thought of the 'flying' people is more than I can bare. Also, the fact that this government planned and carried out the events on that day. They are truly capable of anything.

[@sharonmahoney9333]

Baloney. Your "fact" is fiction.

[@tracyfeldstein1555]

I keep going back and forth on who to blame... I keep remembering that bit about Bush telling that intel guy that he "covered his ass" when he talked about Bin Laden... I don't believe the Alex Jones types anymore... I just nickname the whole thing "The Unthinkable"... and if any American did know anything... I hope they get what they deserve in this life and the next...

[@cutetiger678]

Woah, who said it was the government?

[@tracyfeldstein1555]

@@cutetiger678 Unfortunately, quite a few people... Type in "Building 7" in youtube, if you would like a stroll down that rabbit hole...

[@wonderjesus]

Spot on

[@geicicruz594]

Essa musica é do crlho!!!!

[@cabrinibruno]

boa

[@royal-aloha4046]

You do know this is about sept 11, 2001 I imagine? Duh

[@dale85300]

Sorry guys!! i think I have a better version. More like the john Legend Motif.
