Reef - How I Got Over Lyrics

Bass playing is supreme there. X

God Bless Reef . I love you guys more every day. YOU KNOW IT. A lotta music in THIS ONE.X x Cant stop playing it on Glastonbury FM, LOVE . X x

From Mahalia Jackson to Aretha Franklin to Yolanda Adams to Reef, where I realised I lost my soul and ran straight back to my roots!

🎶they're old, they're old, they're old, they're old, they're olllld🎶 lol 😆 and
Still Brill ❤

Heard this on radio 2 and had to come find it! Awesome tune

What an awesome tune..only heard this a few months ago on Radio 2.
Never heard of Reef before..I've clearly been in a YouTube coma for 20 years..

theswinefool2 Put your Hands on your head in shame 😉

Me too.Heard it on radio 2.

Glorious! Made my day to hear this on the radio early this morning.

that's one of my all time favorites

Awesome. These boys are still the business

Am I the only one who noticed the lyrics aren't quite the same as the original? 'The girl dressed in white, whom I dream of day and night....she's my salvation'? Guys, this lets down an otherwise banging tune....

A superb cover from a SUPERB band!!

Seeing these guys at Wheels & Fins, Joss Bay, September 2017!

Nice to see Rick Grimes is keeping busy when the walking dead isn't on!..........AWESOME track, AWESOME voice

smokebelch2k8 he has to have some thing to take his mind off Carl. I’m surprised he put together such a fucking awesome band after an apocalypse, personally.

Yeah 😉🎧💚

Obviously the devil does not have ALL the best tunes. Hallelujah.

Saw them two nights ago and this song was absolutely fantastic live. Good work guys! DO MORE SOUL!

🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

Totally fun, my mom did make a move with this song

first real band i ever saw in 1997. still got the ticket . great gig

REEF are Headlining Amplified Festival July 21-23 2017!! UK We got our tickets! www.amplifiedrocks.com See you there!

My first gig too. Supported by feeder. Good times.

Replenish was one of my first albums... still got it... still brilliant....

ant williams replenish was and will always be one of the best albums in my collection and in my soul...such breaking vibes...after that never reached that peak but still...good to jave them back.

Lord thank you for Reef :-)

I love this to bits😁

I remember meeting you guys not long after you recorded the Purple Tape all those years ago. I am so damn glad to see you are still making great music.

Cor Gary Stringer, you're like a fine wine...! Wow love this track.

I Like It!! When will the new album will be out??

Fantastic song! I LOVE it!! You were brilliant in Belfast this month had such a top top night - thank you!!!

Feel god song for the weekend, great job lads!

Love this - awesome recording

Yes it has just been revealed they are supporting, along with the main support act Lianne La Havas at all Wembley Stadium dates.

The Saviour's Name was NEVER "Jesus" or "Hesus" --- He came in the Name of the Father (YAHUAH of hosts is His mighty Name) NOT the name of an ancient money/fortune deity of the Heathen, born Dec 25, who has a popular image to this day. The Hebrew Name Yahusha means YAHUAH (is) our Saviour/Deliverer

Fantastic tune.

They covered the lyrics but left out Jesus, strange.

+TheFever77 The letter "J" is less than 500 years old...

+ThundersSeven point being?

TheFever77 I've met many jésus, all have been Spanish.

Just as soon as I see Jesus oh yes
The man who made me free oh yes oh yes
He was the man that bleed and suffer oh yes oh yes oh yes
Who died for you and me oh yes

#papatong

I've heard a rumour they may support Coldplay in the UK

+James Fisher Its true,at wembley stadium

Reef have come back brighter! Yay

Tune. Fact.

great band...great new song..its a cover...but fab...well done lads!

Loved hearing this on the radio the other day. A big, lovely wow!

See you on Saturday in Southampton!!! 😘

I keep hearing this on the radio and I much say that I really love your rendition of the song.
Every time it comes on, I feel so uplifted.

Sorry but I'm against you guys lol I hope this is there new style and look forward to a more country gospel style rock n roll 🙏🏻👏🏻💚❤️💚

Great track. bluesy and a bit country... I like that

Awesome!

Just a cover of a 50's gospel group called The Swan Silvertones - How I Got Over. Nice version though.

To those worried reef fans out there... music is a fluid medium.. things move on and change and us old rockers just get older. Nothing to worry about. Reef have done a great job of this, and that's what it's all about.
You have to keep an open mind - Susan Boyle is not really my thing but her version of Wild Horses is a classic. You just never know what's out there.
P.S. If you saw them in The Hub in Plymouth recently (no, not Susan Boyle!) you would know that they are still a bunch of noisy old rockers at heart.
One cover doth not a Soul Band make, as Shakespeare never said

This is fantastic and so uplifting

Loving this!

Just brilliant!

such powerful lyrics and reefs interpretation. well you have a new disciple!

Welcome to the light of the World! Will the rest of your album be Yeshuah led like this song?
Can't wait for your album if it is! Shalom and Peace be to you all!

Nice job, where is that beach?

Mans... ✅

What are the lyrics after "Looking for that girl in white / Whom I dream of day and night"??? Something about salvation and nation?

Also, Jack's beard. Correct.

Are you BACK?!

Awesome awesome awesome.

Attestant que c'est bien dans les vieux pots qu'on fait les meilleures soupes, *Reef* a remis sa combi et ride à nouveau sur les flots, à l'issue d'une semi-léthargie dont le quartet de Glastonbury, qui enflamma, en pleine vague brit-pop, mais en nettement plus rock, le Royaume-Uni à la fin des 90's, est sorti en 2014, reprenant la route des spots avec un album (_Live At St Ives_, 11/03) mixé à LA, et cette reprise évangélique du _How I Got Over_ de Clara Ward (1951) magnifié hier par Aretha Franklin. Oh Lord!

Fucking belting

sounds like Jools Holland or something. wtf

I didn't detect any hint of boogie woogie and therefore not really like JH at all.

Catchy tune, I give you guys that. But I can only hope that this is just supposed to be a nice cover tune for fun and you haven't been born again or something and this becomes a regular thing. A song like this would have been a fun B-side or a live encore, but as a new single it makes me wonder if you are the same band I have loved for almost 20 years. Don't get me wrong, I am all for progress and I don't expect another "Glow", but I sure hope you have some more guitars and dirty grooves in store for us!

Hate to say it but I think I agree.... But then I'm not a massive lover of place your hands so what do I know! Lol. Much prefer the dirtier reef!

love it!!!! Aretha Franklin cover

MADDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!

Currently on repeat, loving them being back!

different but i love it

Class boys bach

A different direction for the Reef on this one, but I love it.

The boys are back! Tuneeeeee

love it
