Lyrics
I know what I know
I'll sing what I said
We come and we go
That's a thing that I keep in the back of my head
I know what I know
I'll sing what I said
We come and we go
That's a thing that I keep in the back of my head

KAOS brought me here ! That song is awesoooome

[@sandraespinosa9264]

heey same hahhaha i love this song

[@StarGazer_KnowledgeSeeker]

That intro is the most South African you can get! Even if you hear this song for the first time in Siberia, you would know instantly that it is from South Africa!

[@TheMrgoodmanners]

Its actually not south African. That bassline is rhumba pioneered by the likes of franko and his TP OK jazz band and tabu ley and his rochereau band. They were all from DRC. Just listen to any of frankos songs particularly, Mario, and you'll hear the similarities.

[@mrr4031]

@@TheMrgoodmanners Get your facts right! Go do some research on the Graceland album. Most of the songs were composed by South Africans, hence most of the band members are South African. For your information, this is a rearranged song, originally composed by Daniel Shirindza, from Limpopo Province of South Africa. On bass, which you’re claiming, is world renowned South African, Bakithi Khumalo.

[@olebileolebile4847]

You correct. And when you listening to it carefully, ain't different from south african bubble gum music. Songs like come duze, mama's baby, pat shange etc

I remember the controversy of Mr Simon bringing LadySmith to the states and doing these songs from Graceland…. I remember how he was torn down… Graceland still my favorite and how I personally will forever remember Paul Simon… He broke the barrier, stood by it and created one of the most brilliant cds of all time

[@briandorgan4287]

The musicianship of everyone on that stage is astounding. It’s amazing how diverse the range of instruments used are and the flexibility of each performer in using them.

[@CecilDSouza]

In those days, backup was mostly with Black women for this of music. The range of instruments was incredible because he performed with South African musicians for the Graceland tour during aparthied. He was also involved with Miriam Makeba - Queen of Africa. Two legends - one from America and one from South Africa who was banned and fled her country.

I Know What I Know Lyrics: She looked me over And I guess she thought I was all right All right in a sort of a limited way For an off-night She said, “Don’t I know you From the cinematographer’s party?” I said, “Who am I To blow against the wind?” I know what I know I’ll sing what I said We come and we go That’s a thing that I keep In the back of my head I know what I know I’ll sing what I said We come and we go That’s a thing that I keep In the back of my head She said, “There’s something about you That really reminds me of money,” She is the kind of girl Who could say things that Weren’t that funny I said, “What does that mean I really remind you of money?” She said, “Who am I To blow against the wind?” I know what I know I’ll sing what I said We come and we go That’s a thing that I keep In the back of my head She moved so easily All I could think of was sunlight I said, “Aren’t you the woman Who was recently given a Fulbright?” She said, “Don’t I know you From the cinematographer’s party?” I said, “Who am I To blow against the wind?” I know what I know I’ll sing what I said We come and we go That’s a thing that I keep In the back of my head I know what I know I’ll sing what I said We come and we go That’s a thing that I keep In the back of my head I know what I know I know what I know © 1986 Words by Paul Simon, Music by Paul Simon and General M.D. Shirinda
