[@blacksunfish]

[@rl3293]

3 weeks and still crushed. Such a talented and kind man. 😢

He will be missed. Truly a great talent.

[@TheLadyHelena]

Beautiful words for a beautiful songsmith. I'm listening to this and shedding a few obligatory late night tears... 😢 RIP KW.

[@Suzz60947]

One of my favorite musicians/lyricists. His songs and messages were definitely heard by many of us 💖✌️🙏

[@smithy280663]

still a brilliant song here in 2024

[@patrickschlosser8208]

Thank you Karl, for the beautiful Music you gave me for almost 40 Years. Rest in peace.

[@jasonmiradoli8900]

There are many things wrong with this world. The fact that this video has less than 79000 views in 7 years is one of them.

[@gerdfehlbaum9488]

I thought exactly the same!

[@wandah9468]

So much great music, so little time!

[@paulmatthews4492]

Spot on, love this record

[@randombobsmith8925]

Shhhh... It's the best kept secret since TalkTalkk at at Montreux .. Great bands and total talent

[@tompike4116]

Correct

[@user-nu3du9ty5s]

"I read the news today, oh boy"... Karl Wallinger left this world, way too soon! God rest his beautiful soul. He was so gifted, talented, unique, innovative, and original, yet totally inspired by The Beatles, without even coming close to ripping off The Beatles (like so many others have done). Absolute genius, to say the least. RIP, my friend.

[@davidskidmore4189]

RIP. This song changed my life.

[@SteveCournane]

RIP Karl. Every great pop song cures this troubled world just a little bit ❤❤❤

Just now found this record and it is an absolute masterpiece such an underrated band. I’m so happy to have found them.

[@Themanwhocameback2]

My favorite song on "Goodbye Jumbo". 65, 00 hits?! It's a sin that this is not better known.

[@mikebradt8080]

I really really thought this was a great album from the 90s...very under rated

[@gergemini2993]

i always thought this was a Brian Kennedy original :)

[@ltrecker]

It is...

[@狩野由樹]

You are right

[@robertbentzel8105]

The best album of 90s

[@jimmyslade6754]

You weren’t wrong

[@popgun5247]

My God... what a song. 1990. Great happy memories.

[@bryce503]

[@solarflare6633]

A beautiful , perfect pop song and a beautiful talent gone far too soon

[@andrewlaycock3269]

Go easy, Karl Wallinger. What a great musician we have just said goodbye to.

[@jeffwhitaker4692]

you don't know how good this really is .

[@benvankoningsveld]

Still sounds as fresh as when I first heard it. A lot of memories and experiences come flooding back in an instance.

[@alex_mos24]

A message in the box, a message in a song, this is wonderful.

[@MemphiStig]

All true, every word, every day, every year, forever. And such a great song to boot. Miss that guy, miss this group.

[@hallson2917]

Rest in Peace Karl Wallinger

[@neonmcmeat6807]

Ian McNabb's beautiful Facebook tribute to his friend Karl is well worth a read folks.....lovely stuff. R.I.P maestro. Xxx

[@kathymccarthy6695]

[@cod8140]

Me too I’m just now digging deeper and this record is gold!!!

[@TJCoogan]

You missed this band 30 years ago. This came out in 1990.

[@GaryT1952]

@@TJCoogan 🎯TJ..Karl Wallinger is 66 now and still tours occasionally...Goodbye Jumbo is still one of my favorite albums

[@sweetthing3636]

Vastly underrated band and song. A man and band with a conscious, there`s a rarity

[@MikeBaker-d8i]

RIP Karl and godspeed.

[@mackenja43]

IfI I had to choose one song as me all-time favorite, everyone knows that this is it! ♥

[@kurtcobainpizza5606]

I just got my Goodbye Jumbo vinyl yesterday#!!!!!!

[@Mr3DBob]

Right now, this is my favourite video on KZbin. I knew of World Party, but they slipped off my radar. Glorious homecoming! The song, the playing, the singing, the video, all glorious!

[@robrob1723]

Well said

[@tompike4116]

Saw them 32 years ago …still doesn’t sink in 😢

[@robpritchard5657]

Wonderful track . Karl Wallinger spent a short period with the Waterboys . Karl is a fine fella from the North Wales coast , who I believe ,used to do the mixing for Mike Peters and " The Alarm " . Another great Band from the 80's . I was fortunate to see World party at The Brixton academy , and The Forum ( Town and Country Club ) back in the 90 ' S . What I loved and still love about this band , is that they were playing superb music about this fucked up world many years ago . Unfortunately , not a lot has changed . Peace everyone , and " Goodbye Jumbo " .❤️

[@mediashy4846]

OMG the Alarm!!!! Fab group, totally forgotten today.

[@bpbatlaw]

One of the all time great songs! Amazing work. The video is a bit of an homage to the Stones' Rock N Roll Circus, perhaps?

[@JulianWest]

Thank you, Karl. You gave us the call, we heard it. Thank you, rest in peace.

[@daddyb60056]

Doesn't get any better then this.

[@zanducktv2398]

Love this happy song, Brian Kennedy did a cracking cover too. RIP Karl 😢

[@granbranfan]

Karl has a unique voice..perfect music.

[@Cygnusx199]

Rest well sir.

[@dianemiller3778]

Sweet sounding World Party. Still sounds Great!!!

[@danjsy]

This was my most played tape when travelling around SE Asia in 1991...amazing how many people had the same tape, it was the soundtrack to a lot of people's travelling. Would love to go to a show where they play in its entirety.

[@Nicole73672]

I found it in a jack black movie

[@mikerichardson7101]

We played this tape to death on our trip to the Italia 90 World Cup. Incredible memories

[@gerdfehlbaum9488]

This music uplifted me like a balloon for years and inspired my paintings, photography and my mood in general. Why we dont hear that not much anymore? Its a classic, better than 80% of the Beatles and 70% of Rolling Stones....

[@danjsy]

@@mikerichardson7101 Italia '90 was such an exciting time to be alive - just finished Uni in London, Gazza, Lineker then the old story of an old goalie who couldn't jump and the bloody Germans on penalties ! I remember seeing a video diary of some normal guys following England in a transit van and a particular morning with Floyd playing out of someone's van and the aftermath of an EXTREMELY serious party. Looked so much fun !

[@finexample]

Never ever lose, ever because I have already won. This album, this band was such a Huge part of the soundtrack in my life For some time. Just being 20 years old ridiculously free and a huge crew of people when this came out. To live that time at that age when so much amazing sound was coming out. I and a lot of friends were cranking this album, and or tape mostly, our entire world was a part of these songs.

[@ronaldnock9666]

Great song!

[@galegrant4920]

Just heard this song on WFUV (NYC)... glad that WP still has fans on public radio!

[@etherealcatholic5711]

I was 12/13 when this was released. Just recently have I truly started listening to this band.

[@musicsunhappy]

KARL = TRUE TALENT

[@GeorgiaGrowGuy]

Best pop band since the Beatles.

[@richards3192]

Great shades of Tom Petty and Dylan, with a twist of ELO. Still have this album on the original vinyl. Should have been massive.

[@KitCalder]

I can't wait to play this to my kids when they're little one day

[@carlybarra6374]

Heavy Beatle influence and nothing wrong w that!

[@LeFevre3007]

Karl Wallinger. He wanted to be saved from tomorrow and not sail with the ship of fools. Now he has been spared. One of the greats has passed away. I will miss you. Fortunately, I still have some of your groundbreaking music. RIP Karl 🥺

[@anthonyevans3967]

Awesome track beats any shit today rest easy karl the world loves you

[@michaelmosca1785]

as much talent as Beatles ,kinks ,I stand by that

[Verse 1] And if you listen now You might hear A new sound coming in As an old one disappears See the world in just one grain of sand You better take a closer look Don't let it slip right thru your hand Won't you please hear the call The world says [Chorus] Put the message in the box Put the box into the car Drive the car around the world Until you get heard [Verse 2] Now is the moment Please understand The road is wide open To the heart of every man A few simple words So a mule could understand He don't want tomorrow If it's just crumbling into sand Won't you please hear the call She says [Chorus] Put the message in the box Put the box into the car Drive the car around the world Until you get heard Until you get heard [Bridge] The World says Give a little bit Give a little bit of your love to me Cos I'm waiting right here with my open arms Give a little bit Give a little bit of your soul to me Cos I'm waiting to behold your many charms Is that love in the air? She says [Chorus] Put the message in the box Put the box into the car Drive the car around the world Until you get heard Until you get heard Until you get heard Until you get heard Until you get heard R.I.P. Karl, you left some love in this world that's more than moste people do!

RIP

[@miken3599]

What a song!

[@1WillowMoon]

I think God will be pleased with Karls purpose....he certainly made his purpose special, what an amazing man he was. Ive played this song hundreds of times, along with the others and i will always love them all..because i get it. The only downside here is not enough views...and certainly not enough worldwide appreciation for a supserstar that was Karl wallinger....rock them up there karl....god bless you ❤

[@SybilTMibble]

It feels so positive and hopeful...As opposed to how the 'everyday' seems to feel today! Let's all try to make *something* positive happen again! * Before it's too late * For real. 💯🎩🌞🌞🌞⭐💯💥 🙏❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜❤️✨✨✨

[@thestereoclub6735]

Kurt Wallinger pretty much created his first album by himself, although Sinead O'Conner provides some backing vocals. She is in the video for Private Revolution and Kurt helped with her debut album. Goodbye Jumbo had a band of sorts- Jeff Trott is playing the Gretsch in the video. He has had a fine career as a producer and song writer, especially in collaboration with Sheryl Crow.

[@bigred1222]

Listening on a friend's recommendation and he was right! So catchy and fun

[@marksienicki]

Thank you Karl!

[@sleepypiglet-bi8qy]

Rip my friend. I didn't know you but we are friends just the same
