The Christians 'Harvest For The World'

[@stefaniapartini5825]

That's a song I loved so much in the Eighteens...❤

[@AnthonyTownsend-w5y]

One of the best bands to emerge from Liverpool.

[@TECKMASSE]

Really great moment of music THX The Christians

[@marchrismcg]

The Isley Brothers started the legacy with this beautiful song,but The Christians took it,ran with it and did it so much justice.....awesome vocals Everybody loves this version thanks for uploading this

[@Jamilla.315]

love it thank you for your knowledge, take care ❤

[@paulal.o.aplaylist6234]

Brilliant. Underrated Liverpool group. Should be Massive. Class. Come back class.

[@indieshack4476]

this comment times a million....

[@eamonnquigley2125]

oh yes and i love the song words from there second album... it has a irish touch to that song but writen by henry priestman................ its brilliant song

[@robjustaguy]

One of the most underrated songs ever. This and “ideal world” really did stop us and say when? Question is 30 years later and we still have people dying, not enough to eat, so I think the question has to be not when, but how? How are we going to actually achieve this? A few songs like this shaped my childhood and my character. Ideal world, harvest for the world and From a distance to name just a few… Words, music, has the ability to transcend through everything and anything. It can touch any heart even the most hardened…. But do we actually do anything when it does? ❤❤❤

[@Stevelives13]

Human nature, greed and inequality.

[@garrywilkes1311]

A timeless message. Hopefully one day the world will listen

[@brendamaguire3678]

🙏

[@gellaonop7970]

Christ will be here soon. All these issues will be resolved. All Hail to The King!!!👑 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🏾🕊💙

[@dragonkissed2099]

Yes..🙌

[@FINEFELINE333]

A truly magnificent rendition of the Isley Brothers all time classic. This version has the edge of exasperation from lack of real progress in our troubled world.....so long on promise...... and yet so short on delivery.

[@cornelbebie7400]

That's the power of soul, and Gary Christian is definitely a great, great, great Soul Singer !!! Swing with him !!!

[@PaulineCurrie]

Saw them last night in Bournemouth. They finished with this. Blown away. Fantastic. Stood up and grooved to this….much to my daughters dismay! 🤣. How could I not! ❤️

[@Pr36919]

The best song in the world ❤

[@luciavanolli]

Outstanding Gorgeous! The Christians! Thanks to The Isley Brothers as well!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🙋🏼‍♀️💐👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋

[@Brownalebelly]

One of the greatest cover versions of all time. A great song with a fantastic video and sadly still relevant today.

[@pifflepockle]

@@Luciano123-s7r Yes Luciano. Good point, well made

[@p1nm0re]

Never has the message conveyed in this song and video been more appropriate than it is today.

[@bobster2698]

+robert adam Amen to that, and these guys convey it not for self gain

[@cathalsweeney7130]

robert adam it seem to apaly nearly all the time ..but rember this version is a cover version of this song the isiley brothers did it first

[@cfwbdude]

One of my all time favourite songs of the 80s

[@dlamiss]

+Donna Clemons I never I would hear a better version than the original but I have to admit I prefer this if for the overall production of the song....

[@TheGed70]

"give thanks for your children" The Christians one of Greatest bands to come out of this fine city of Liverpool! Fact.

[@BruceLee-zd9bw]

Very underrated band, should of gained so much more credit and success. This song drives home such a powerful message of plight, poverty, greed and lies. The song is delivered with excellent lead vocals from Gary, and brilliant backing vocals from Roger. The music arrangement is absolutely outstanding with the very exceptional bass line running through it. They were a different class to most music back then, and still are today. Not many bands can take an song and make it better than the original, the Christians did this with ease. I've seen them live twice, and they reproduce all of their songs just as good live as the studio versions. True artists, not manufactured. 👍😎

[@nealdewar9959]

They were big back then mate. I do ask myself the same question. Raves had become a big thing.

[@NorthernFella]

agree completely.

[@Drquibble]

Was played continuously for years on local radio stations so much so that many got sick of it but listening after a long break it still stands up well today

[@toffeeblue2201]

I remember back in 87' their album was the first CD i bought and one of the best ever.

[@edwoodsnowden]

Is a great album!

[@toffeeblue2201]

Garry Christian one of the finest singers ever

[@iainfowler24]

Total magic, great cover of a great song ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@MarkAnthonyMutton]

Love this tune

[@DrSackfull]

Some lyrics... Harvest for the world All babies together Everyone a seed Half of us are satisfied Half of us in need Love's bountiful in us Tarnished by our greed Oh, when will there be A harvest for the world Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Hey A nation of plenty So concerned with gain As the seasons come and go Greater grows the pain And far too many Feeling the strain Oh, when will there be A harvest for the world Yeah, yeah Gather every man Gather every woman Celebrate your lives Give thanks for your children (No) Gather everyone (Gather everyone) Gather all together (Gather all together) Overlooking none (Overlooking none) Hoping life gets better for the world Yeah, yeah, yeah Dress me up for battle When all I want is peace Those of us who pay the price Come home with the least And nation after nation Turning into beasts Oh, when will there be A harvest for the world Yeah, hey When will there be I want to know now, now When will there be a harvest {Harvest for the world} When will there be a harvest {Harvest for the world}

[@carlosbelmonte3950]

Beautiful lyrics, wonderful arrangement of The Christians added to the beautiful voice of Garry Christian. Just awesome. Appear in Brazil.

[@Malcolm-p4r]

I was lucky to see this bangin2017 at Butlins Bognor Regis in 2018 for an eighties weekend, great band.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿☮️🎸

[@jogtg]

He really owned this wonderful song! and a sexy boy too 🤩 turned this song to a sexy rendition, all did great for this song! I remembered me and friends in high school would go to an afternoon disco after classes popular at that time just walking distance from University campus just to hear and dance with this music!

[@andyberridge6455]

1988 jesus, the time goes by so quickly. Harvest for the world, love it.

[@iloveboxing677]

And look at the world today. Beautiful words and so prophetic.....

[@julesvegas7573]

I lived in London (I'm American) at the time this song was released. I cannot think of anything but that amazing time whenever I hear this amazing song....and knowing what wonderful things it did for the more unfortunate.

[@RodDuster]

I didn't know this was a cover until today, when you are young everything seems like it was made fresh just for you!!

[@Hulk2k6]

Yeah, an 80s Update of the Isleys Classic.

[@DavidThomas658]

This song make me feels braver, more optimistic !!!

[@jacquelinecrichton7397]

Love so much the Isley Brothers. The Christians through give us humanity, humility and a great dance track

[@sandydecruz8092]

Obviously wanted to send us a message back then. I'm receiving it loud and clear now. Pray for your ascension into 5D and a beautiful and fair world for every human being. ❤🙏🏻

[@BrendanPramjee]

Wow as a kid this song played on the radio but on listening to this now the nostalgia is high. I can totally appreciate the lyrics now and the great track this is

[@TheDeadite76]

Tune man !

[@luckyboy4766]

As some have said - one of the best covers ever. Garry's voice is so emotional and expressive. One of my fav bands of the 80's. The Christians made meaningful songs.

[@LuciaVanolli-n6q]

Amazing Gorgeous Video ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙌

[@larrafferty9686]

Love the christians , brilliant version, love them since they came out first, seen them once here in Dublin and will see them on Sunday 2nd june in st anns park Dublin, can't wait 💚👍🎸🍀

[@pakora81]

They were incredible today in Dublin

[@penelopemarypenny7725]

Better than anyone quite simply greatest voice still singing.

[@debbiebaverstock2269]

One of the best covers of the Isley brothers original and I think it comes across as heartfelt. I know they felt this and wanted to bring it to a new audience

[@shirleyhutchins1210]

Great song that will always be current. I wonder when there is going to be a harvest for our world ????

[@tripnotchchannel1824]

Music with a message, God I miss the 80's!

[@faitheastwood8050]

Yes, I agree - still a brilliant and relevant song - decades later! " . ... . . . Gather everyone, gather all together". Only unity will bring the harvest. SistaBravesoul

[@eebehuur]

I was a kid when this came out and the words moved me then, as it moves me now. I didn't know about the Isley Brothers original, I wasn't around then, but, for me, this is the best version due to nostalgia and the video.

[@deadpaul6415]

Ditto bro 👌🏼

[@nickchap]

Lovely all. Thanks to who posted. Love from South East London. God bless all x

[@jillreynolds7619]

The best version ever. Just love Gary Christian's voice. Time to rerelease this song especially for our Earth.

[@owenhunt]

Now is the year. I agree.

[@CandleLight1974]

Excellent version of a timeless lyric and a wonderful video that probably wouldn't even be able to be made in this day and age, let alone be broadcast on prime time TV.

[@petermurphy4428]

A song that goes on and on superb.

[@petermurphy4428]

Never tier of the Christians, fabulous and so u underrated during their time.

[@neilriordan9300]

Just heard them playing live from my garden at irlam live.. Superb 👌❤️

[@brendadrumm9708]

Neil where is that xx

[@brendamaguire3678]

Celebrate your lives, give thanks for your children 💚

[@SarahRWilson]

This song has never been more relevant than right now. And while I've never been a big fan of covers, this goes over and above. While the Power Station version works on its own, this video is head and shoulders above all the rest I have seen. Excellent work gents, excellent work indeed. Thanks for showing the message so well.

[@mikefollowingjesus1228]

Even more so NOW ! 🙏

[@WrinkleyDude]

Not many covers are better than the original, but here's one.

[@I-Love-Taylor-Swift]

This is the best version of this song.

[@petermckenzie5124]

Such lovely comments on such a poignant song. Let us pray for peace🙏🏾

[@johntapp7232]

My two favorite parts to this video are: 1. The five combines thrashing out wheat. This denotes an all-out concerted effort to stamp out hunger-“Long as the fields are puttin’ we’re puttin’ in!” The very favorite part is seeing the mother raising her wee one up to the light. Just makes me bawl. It’s so beautiful!

[@eddiefraser6507]

What a Great song and great band

[@rafd3593]

Great video, great version of the original by the Isley Brothers, and a great sentiment. Wouldn’t it be great if we could banish hunger.

[@johnchaplin4523]

Brilliant band brilliant song.

[@davei1928]

Most under rated group ever .

[@loobycarroll]

Life's so precious, but going so wrong for so many people at the moment!! Why can't we all just get on with it and share what we've got! It's not that hard - :) x

[@joeybaxter2]

This is phenomenal. Went to listen to my 2nd favourite song ever and you just topped the original ❤

[@thebloyman]

What a voice... quality!!

[@TheGeorge1968]

Beautiful song, in my opinion even better than the original, what a singer Garry Christian is,really sing from the heart!! Incredible a song for parts of humanity to find their humanity.

[@lauraveney1412]

Since then Ron Isley ever not sing from the heart? but this is good

[@TheGeorge1968]

Well Laura, I actually prefer this to the original, I really do, this band the Christians do this song justice, Garry Christian in particular, sings it amazingly!!

[@zoemahmud]

hear...hear

[@Jasper54]

I agree, sung with soul and from the heart by Garry.

[@joannecairney159]

Never fails to move me, so much out there should be shared. We are all humans.

[@peterpedant]

+Joanne Cairney Sell your house and donate half of it to needy refugees or you are an unrealistic hypocritical fool at odds with nature itself.

[@jontyfrench1099]

peterpedant me thinks you rather missed the point you fuck nuckle

[@surpenc]

They were at Haydock racecourse last night (22 June) playing after racing with other 80s acts,Katrina and waves,Rick Astley and the fantastic The Real Thing.Amazing to see all ages from those who remember them in 80s to teenagers rocking along and even teenagers knowing all words to the classics,h for the world/ideal world/born again and r thing can"t get y without you,you to me are everything and feel the force//.great stuff great memories.

[@campfreddy3547]

Nation after nation are turning into thieves,great lyrics!!

[@michaelacarty850]

Only song that comes a second close is Where Is The Love BEP

[@rodrigozepeda3043]

Hermosa canción y letras.

[@ianisguerin4075]

I love you since i discover you in 1986. Love from Bordeaux. France.

[@stefaniapartini5825]

I love this cover very much!!!

[@Donna.M]

Watching the top of the pops channel and seen you guys this song was a huge song me and my mum loved this track so good beautiful lyrics one of my all time favourites still today. Thankyou for giving me some awesome memories with my mum who is not here with me anymore till i see her again. ❤️🙏

[@lesleywalker507]

So relevant today in 2022 😪

[@ericgaraude6001]

J'adore

[@catanlorca]

I agree to you and.... what a wonderful band with wonderful lead singer Garry Christian. This band is one of my favorites 'til today and the lyrics should be the measure of how to behave and how to act for all of us... Now Garry Christian is back - still sporting the Ray-Bans, the incredibly rich and sultry voice and the string of gorgeous songs that made a million women swoon... and men too.

[@carlosrafaelcortes6753]

Increible version,la mejor de todas,una de mis canciones favoritas. Wonderfull

[@TheFree2last1]

Great song, great video, great message. Amazing band, I alsways loved this kind of music. Thank you for the upload.

[@thetruthhurtsthem2178]

What an excellent cover of this song and a brilliant video - sums everything up.

[@frankgoodall6885]

That feel good song that really is outstanding..X :)

[@UKM1976]

Imo a very underrated group

[@melsmith5060]

This song speaks volumes……….shame no one is listening

[@enricogiovani4185]

I want to believe that many of us do

[@shirleyhutchins1210]

I'm listening ! It's just sad that the worlds politicians aren't listening.

[@leonafitzgerald1810]

Loved the original by the Isley brothers but this is awesome too ❤️🔥

[@tracymillsom4171]

Love and will love this song 4ever but isle brothers will always have the edge glad you feel the same

[@djjerome]

POWERFUL VIDEO FOR A POWERFUL SONG.

[@misterghee1]

Man totally in my heart true one love

[@cheeba64]

Fantastic remake of the Isley Brothers song with a heartbreaking video...if you don't like this then there's probably something wrong with you....

[@hoover186]

Hadn't heard this one in odd-30 years until last night. Great memories!

[@EdlyLeMar]

great cover.....one of the best

[@CLARKEa100]

Never can anybody repeat the Isley Brothers but the Christians are the best

[@Archetti62]

Never has the message conveyed in this song been more appropriate than it is in 2019. Three years after Robert's post below.

[@lynnlynn6193]

Love ❤️seeing them each tour they do ~ timeless ❤️

[@truthhurts2225]

If you are listening to this 💯apt song in 2018 (and goes double if you known original is from Isley Brothers, show some love)

[@zazz63]

Perfect pop song ....with a message..

[@caroldouglas9508]

This is one of the best songs of all time for showing the frustrations of the great majority with the state of the world, even today in 2017. The video is incredible and portrays that perfectly.

[@tracymillsom4171]

Love both this and isley brothers I think this is a bit more uplifting but they are both classics always makes me smile ❤❤❤❤❤

[@lesleyanderson3590]

Always preferred this to the Isley's original, seemed so much more powerful & heartfelt.

[@martymoo9927]

Was bout 12 when I remember hearing this band. Thought nowt of it then. Fast forward 30 years and I now realise why they stuck with me at 12. Wot a voice and great songs.

[@Trojan858953]

2022 and nothing has changed unfortunately still the same issues

[@BernieBriocon]

This song reflects positivity there is really profit in the winds you got to hold on till everyone is gathered macking the chain more tighter together as business expands and grows for your efforts to reach out and help others so we can unify in prosperity and business for a harvest never to be forgotten tressure and controlled! Awesome share!

[@vincethomas961]

Love these love thier songs a big fan wish they would do new tracks and make a comeback

[@cjrobinson6403]

thank you very much to the uploader, it took many years for a good copy of this sound track to appear on youtube, thanks again :)

[@shelleystraughan4478]

Wonderful nostalgia.

[@Pierremontquaker03]

I remember when this was out when I was in school, we were asked to bring in food to send out, this compassion seems to have gone lately for the poorer nations.

[@McSynth]

So beautiful.
