Nov 12, 2008 - which event are you speaking of? the song has a very dark tone, i would like to know what inspired these feelings.

countachlew Says:

Nov 12, 2008 - sorry, i just read the earlier comments. im guessing the church bombing was racially motivated. it's sad that kind of hatred still exists in some people today.

Nov 14, 2008 - man sayin that afroamericans r better in some activities aint racist, just think wat u write

LushonFeare Says:

Nov 15, 2008 - :o blatant racism its like saying afro americans cant do some thing purely because there afro american. it is also patronising. u cant say just because some black people do something well all black people can lol. thats just silly.

Nov 15, 2008 - you don't need to degrade yourself to prove you aren't racist. Let your actions dictate who you are and do the courageous thing and let folks dislike you. Then you will be a little closer to truly letting love and acceptance actually cost you something. I believe you mean well. But seriously...

brionbee Says:

Nov 15, 2008 - According to a good friend,Trane is playing each note to MLK's "I Have A Dream" speech for this song. He wrote it directly after the church bombing in Alabama where those four innocent girls were killed. Now listen to it again in this light...

Nov 15, 2008 - One of the few sax players I like. I've always preferred trumpets for some reason, even though the two sound a lot alike.

Nov 15, 2008 - Epic.

Sanchothesaxplayer Says:

Nov 17, 2008 - Coltrane still has a massive influence on tenor saxplayers all over the world. BUT: his sound is lousy. He did not have the muscial ear for intonation. This he compensated with innovation and technique. Too bad for him. He once stated about Stan Getz' wonderful sax sound "We would all play like Getz if we only could".

Nov 19, 2008 - John Coltrane the best one, just incredible very nice John Coltrane es sin duda un genio del jazz el mejor, sencillamente increible saludos

demolitionhammer23 Says:

Nov 19, 2008 - words are not needed for this.. You can feel the different kinds of emotion throughout the music, it just speaks to you. The saying your actions speak louder than your words. It's true..

minor7b5natural9 Says:

Nov 19, 2008 - they sound alike? are you stupid?

xXBR4D3NXx Says:

Nov 20, 2008 - They do, you moron. You have to pay close attention if you're listening to a song with both to know who's playing.

radiohead9 Says:

Nov 20, 2008 - what album is this on?

bobgreen623 Says:

Nov 20, 2008 - I love this, there's such a sense of tragedy and loss in the non-tempo first couple of minutes. For more 'interpretations' via music of MLK speeches I can heartily recommend Denys Baptiste's "Let Freedom Ring" album, which actually contains the lost chord. Twice

Nov 20, 2008 - this is such a sad song
