SANANDA MAITREYA - Faith & Music (2004)

Hi, I have just had the weirdest experience involving Terence Trent D'arby's song 'sign your name', well actually the video... I remember it completely differently.. I remember it in black and white and the model and her daughter had long curly hair and it was filmed on the roof of a city building and all done in slow motion. I was just wondering, since you are a fan too, does this ring any bells for you?

I'm so glad he failed at suicide. I can still see some sadness deep in his eyes. Brilliant talent, excellent voice, this was the most dignified and down to earth interview I've ever seen. With anyone being interviewed. The man has depth of character. Best of everything to him.

[@Carte-Blanche-NZ]

I come back to this interview quite often because it is the voice of so much experience. While wise now, he went through really tough times. I love his reminder that we can experience a rebirth while we are alive. Thank goodness he has found/helped to create a family and is trying not to plant the seed of pain from his past life into the embryo of his future. That really is changing the world!

Love this precious man's and respect his deep spiritual growth.

[@gregorypeters6393]

What a great singer and artist. I wish people would rediscover him again. He was seemingly black balled from the music industry. People grow...we are never the same from day to day as time marches on. Every experience changes who we are and how we think. I remember him as Terrence. He was awesome. The industry built him up, but he didn’t conform to what they wanted. He obviously pissed off someone with power and the media all of a sudden started tearing him down. They portrayed him as arrogant with a humongous self importance. Unfortunately, the public took the bait and turned on him...thus destroying his career. Terrence would have been a legend given time. He has a right to believe in his talent. The man is a genius. He is in the same category as Prince. I wish him all the best. I love his philosophy on life. I wish him much love and happiness. Prince...the most arrogant of all, but he played the game their way just long enough to get a loyal fan base and then started doing it his way. Then is career declined. Terrence was targeted by someone out to destroy him by planting the seed, period.

[@DreIscariot]

I am rediscovering him now...Or it seems like I am now Discovering him!! I started by looking for 2 songs "Wishing Well" & "Sign Your Name". Then discovered this journey of 2 lives in a single being, in a single lifetime. I was surprised by the massive discography then the name change, which I could understand. However this Documentary really seemed to capture him & his life. It really broke things down to better understand & appreciate this wonderful person & his talent. Again we see the demons running the music industry. @Gregory Peters My only disagreement is with your harshness of Prince. This film clearly showed Terrence/Sananda was not arrogant but troubled & misunderstood. Which I believe to be the same with Prince.

[@yvonnenoel7206]

@Gregory Peters, I hear you. I have always wondered why someone, seemly so talented, can self destruct as badly. I ALWAYS that he was blackballed, because he didn't want to play their games. They tried it both with Prince and Michael, but their fan base saved them. Both Prince and Michael, were smart enough to to see the writing on the wall. I hope young artists are paying attention and not getting caught in that game.

[@annbridge3125]

Gregory Peters I totally agree with you ❣️🙏💜

[@UmeEvetune7]

I don't remember "the public" turning on him. I have all of his albums & have always loved him & followed him thru his emergence to Sananda. We never turned on him. Damn record companies kill most artists. So glad you're still with us, Sananda!

[@youtubingbabs]

I am right now! 😊

[@georgealderson4424]

A beautiful man, inside and out, unpretencious, articulate, thoughtful, intelligent and perhaps even inspirational for those of us who are feeling lost. May he have many blessings and peace

[@g.t.5324]

truth !

[@TheColdrush22]

I agree, but to people who aren’t familiar with him, it sounds really pretentious. Which is too bad. Because this is authentically who he is.

[@alicesimpson8973]

If you watch all of his videos you can see his left cheek is torn he tried to commit suicide & I'm so glad that didn't. We learn from hurt ,pain & suffering in our spirt,our souls I've been to that place & being rejected by teacher's, bullies or whoever it make you to strive even hard just to prove them wrong. I have been following him since 1987 & he's indeed talented, humble & we all have been through things in our lives that brought us to our knees. & blessing to you

Excellent Interview. Peace & Love Sananda.

[@tenofspdes]

The sexiest man on Earth!!!

[@evabaaby1286]

yes, indeed, and that is why people did not notice his vulnerable soul What he needed was someone to understand his most inner thoughts and conflicts at that time (not now, he has settled and is down to earth with his family, but at that time), The crazy thing is that we all would have wanted to be that person to give him stability and being his anchor, but we all thought he was so cool and needed nobody, Am so glad he did find his anchor meanwhile and is grounded

[@joanofarcxxi]

There is something so much more and so much greater than sexy in this man. In all of us. I hope people start to realize that.

[@kudisankai]

Last night i was watching his videos, found a short autobiography in which they spoke of the time he served in the army, saw it and suddenly remembered and realized that i knew him back in those days in the army 1981-1984, he was always in the barracks playing a guitar and rehearsing saying i want to be famous i want to be a star in those days the name on his army uniform was Howard i do remember him from back from those days

So rare to uncover the genuine artist, We are all tormented by the achytypes/angels of the natural mind but it takes a special courage to negotiate them all and come out ALIVE, burning from the fire within. Sanada/Terrence shows us, the artists, that it is possible. He seems so honest with himself, thus makes him humble. I feel he was put here to express his beauty through music......He is still is, ahead of his time.....I am Grateful for his artistry.

[@dulabecker625]

Dear Terence, you and your beautiful voice and incredible songtexts have been pure magic back then, to a little Girl around 12 years old, that was completely in Love with you. You were such a great influence on me! We kids back then were so lucky to have many incredible musicians.....but you were just everything to me. Love to you, magical man.

[@youtubingbabs]

The way he bows his head before he says, "it was the women." It's like a cosmic apology from all the men who've played their part of trying to destroy my heart and soul. But like him... My heart and soul have only transformed into something deeper. We're all still just children on this earth. We never knew better. God loves us always but we can only understand when we learn to love ourselves. He can't do it for us. But if you listen, you can hear him begging you to do it!

First of all, I thank God for you still being alive. Another is if you did succeed in doing that deed, you were not going to see heaven's gates. I myself grew up in the church. Sometimes, I was rebellious Sananda. I also visited that road you failed at. Thank God for brothers and sisters and beautiful parents. I want to tell you today that Jesus loves you. All we need to do is give it all to him. He'll fix it. I don't really know your music like that. Just a few hits. Anyway, you keep on looking up. Angels are real by the way. Peace.🤗🙂🙏

so glad to have found this wonderfull piece. i have loved his music all through the years from early till now . i remember his troubles from the early years and it seemed that he had got beyond his pain as i saw a piece some years eariler in refrence to it . in this it was wonderfull to hear the story of how he transformed his pain and formost again that he has found happiness, even in the eariler years (terrence ) always seemed to be such a kind soul under it all and i think it was always given that that trait would be carried through and it is quite evident that it has been in sananda

[@johnfoster4244]

This just reaffirms what I've been saying for quite a while: Men are complex creatures. We are not easily placated by sex and food as society has so woefully attempted to define us. In the Garden, God said, "It is not good that man should be alone". And God created woman. And man's love and desire for the beauty and grace of the female caused him to disobey God and to please her instead. This didn't work out well for anyone--slave to the created...not the Creator. So grateful for Terence' transparency and humility. May God continue to walk with him and reveal Truth.

[@chidiejikeme4898]

"Not so easily placed by sex and food" is so true but complicates reality too much for the "common sense ppl" who trade in potable "piecemeal packages" that are consequentially commercializable. Thanks for sharing ur very clear and relevant insight

[@JarodMoonchild1975]

@john foster, but he's not following the true God, but rather New Age, considering his "new name" as just a tiny bit of research would reveal to you easily. And no, not all roads leads to God, despite the fact that Oprah said so. All roads leads to Rome though, and what is the Roman empire famous for again? That's right, like all great empires before it, it fell. And there will be another Roman empire very soon, but that will be crushed too, but not before mankind has suffered greatly. 7 years of suffering like the world has not seen before that time. But I suspect you dont believe that, so all I can say to that is, good luck with that. Just wait and see, it hasn't started yet, but the Corona virus is a part of it, possibly the tool to bring the world economy to its fall. But I'm sure in your mind I'm just a crazy person, talking crazy. Give it time, you might be surprised when it happens. But by that time, it will be too late to stop it, and mankind will have to endure the long walk to the end of it, metaphorically speaking. But enough of that, cos I'm just a crazy christian conspiracy theorist, right? As I said before, good luck with that, lol.

[@stevewynn9289]

Terence Trent D’arby is an artistic genius, and the music industry knew it very well. He was very smart and confident. He, or his music couldn’t be controlled by a record label. When the industry can’t control an artist, or their art (Masters). They use their massive public relations division. And put out that you’re difficult, or a prima donna and put your career on a shelf in oblivion. Michael Jackson and Prince had serious issues with their record labels. Eventually Prince owned his masters. Where are they now? (Guess who retained back MJ masters? ) They both died under suspicious drug overdoses. Prince didn’t have “ Slave” scribbled on his face for no reason. Terence is doing well. He lives in Milan, Italy. Probably saved his life. He has a beautiful wife, and a son and daughter. He still continues to perform amazing concerts all over Europe.

Better off I would say. 👏🏻 hellywood is terrible. Hence the amount of self destruction / suicides with great artists. Layne Staley said he felt like a commodity and granted his addiction issues, I would say that greatly contributed

Those who have played the game are gone but he is still here GIVE HIM SOME CREDIT! AND HIS FLOWERS!!

[@MJ-hg1mk]

Interesting. To say the least. Glad he's still here. Had no idea what happened to him. Figured I missed the news that day. Honestly. Lotta pressure on that woman of his. Hope it all works out for them.

Thankyou Sananda....i so much remember you "blond"Cd when I was young (1995)I endlessly let it play....recently I am discovering who you are now and I am so deeply touched by your souls beauty...I still love the power of your old songs!

[@hazelturman6732]

I was just listening to his first album two nights ago... Such a talent and that voice... Omg he is such a beautiful handsome man... During that time when he reached fame, I don't know who I loved the most, Prince or him... Both are geniuses to me!!!
