Scatman John - Quiet Desperation Lyrics

Anyone hear mario kart music when he scats?

I is Rassian. I love music Scatman's. Я Русский. Я люблю музыку Скетмена.

This is one very cool song - my 7 year old daughters said so. Clearly this is wonderful music it speaks to people from different generations, right?

I truly hope so. You also should show her the song called "Scatmusic" from "Everybody Jam!" album. I sure she'll like it 😉

@Ozkan yeah, sure thing! We went through all of them. His songs were on the radio a lot when I was a teenager 😊

@Zofia smith oh, I'm really pleased to know that people of "the youngest generation" grow knowing Scatman John's legacy. Even if them are not many 😊.
Anyway, have you ever had a chance to witness Scatman live? On a concert, for example. I'm interested in it cause' I was born after John's death and have never seen a human who could see him (Scatman) live

What does this song mean to you, guys? What's the message? Let's discuss

Hello John

Reality

Scatman John and george carlin... 2 sides of the same coin, one who had the gift of music, the other the gift of comedy... and both spready the same philosophy... that hope is in the hands of those who give a dman.

2019 - same or updated?

RIP Scatman John

Из Росси с любовью.....

I think FilthyFrank drew inspiration from this song.

It's like if george carlin choose a singing career instead of stand up.

Consider this: he made his best art towards the end of his life. It took a lifetime of suffering for him to bear indelible fruit--a message of Hope for the rest us.

this sounds like wii music

20 years since Scatman John's death. He may have left this world, but he lives on in Scatmans world.

Not till December3rd

Everyone knows his major hit but hearing his lesser known songs is in itself a joy. And the lasting legacy throughout is that despite what life throws your way, hope and optimism is what drives humanity. To quote "If the Scatman can do it brother so can you". Thank you Scatman John R.I.P. 🌹

noone:


Mario kart wii: 0:57

Scatman=CEO of facts

I need to travel back in time and eliminate lung cancer.

@Clormpus Dibbleshnopp He died from lung cancer.

First, travel forward in time and get the cure for cancer... later, go to the beginning of time and you only have to leave the cure there... Perfect plan...

It happened already, so you can't back in this time.

❤️❤️❤️ R.I.P.

Wait a second.
This actually came on the radio yesterday at my work.

There's finally a radio station on the world who plays Scatman John's songs.

i dont belive you

Top ten rappers Eminem was afraid off.

Hope He got His song out....

I wish I could have met him.

Он должен был жить вечно...

Я считаю песни Скэтмэна должны услышать каждые. Его имя должны слышать все.
И его песни.

У меня кстати тоже мнение.Кто-то посчитает их ужасными,но даже эта непопулярная песня невероятно хороша

@The 16-Bit Channel просто для того, чтобы понять, что почти все песни Джона уникальные и особенные, нужно знать английский

this is dumb

I LOVE It the song is beautiful

never heard this until today. I love it.

Y isn't life like this :"( 1 like = you know what I mean

Saudades scatman John foi demais esteja com Deus 👏👏👍💖

I love his songs. He was so good man. Lay on peace man.

This is ❤love you scatman🎶🎵🎤

42 justin beiber fans didnt like this song

RIP Scatman <3

that's true rap!! <3

*QUIET* *DESPERATION* *BRAVO SCATMAN*

The first music album I ever had was Scatman's back in the mid 90's. I still listen to the songs especially I'm a Scatman and Quiet Desperation. The latter always puts me in a state of reflection because it's sad yet beautiful.

scatman's world is truly a nightmarish hellscape the world has not known since the inferno

Anyone who disliked this is surely missing out on the amazingness of the legend Scatman John.

Is he dead??

Yup died to cancer in 1999 :(

John "Scatman" Larkin he stuttered hes entire life that is why he could do all those sounds.
He turned disability into a musical art. Originally he was a jazz musician that is why in many of hes songs we can hear jazz motives not in that one thou :)

this man gives me the spirit to keep trying no matter how hard i fall

hey hey
more respect for the hero of culture
more likes to the budy!!
Rest in peace, john <3

* buddy

2018! 1995, i was 14, and i loved and admired the LP! but more the melodies,dancehits then.and today, the lyrics are outstanding,and are really deep-minded,timeless human Values! John Larkin, youre simply great!! many thx for your music! it has a special place in my CD-collection :)

Scatman for Smash

I'll smash to scatman

Despite it being a song about broken dreams, it's surprisingly in a happy calming tone. Lol

It's celebrating the subject of the song as someone deserving of respect, hence the optimistic tone.

wait til you hear about pumped up kicks

Thank you! R.I.P.,Scatman! We always love you!

I love this song. ❤️

This is true RAP or hip-hop :)

Not rap or hip-hop

palmeiras não tem mundial!!

Passed away in 99' still has great music! Don't let nothing hold you back!

lyrics

Your're sitting on a milk mornin' noon and night 
Fantisizin' the American dream
You're lookin' pretty good and you've got yourself conviced
That the nightmare isn't a s bad as it seems

You try your best to hide yourself beneath your turned up collar
And a plastic bag is all you've got to show
And your books inside your shopping cart
Is probably the best education you're ever gonna know (Hmm)

The guy in the Mercedes is just hard on with the dollar
Better grab it 'cause the signal's turnin' green
And while you're at it put the jug behind the picket fence
'Cause the copper's driving past you lookin' mean

Institution, contribution, restitution, destitution 
Doesn't mean a thing to you now
You're the freeway feature 
For your audience are driving by

So maybe you should stand and take a bow
Your living in desperation
And you never have felt complete
You live in anticipation

Of another day on the street, sing with me
(Scatting by Scatman John)
You're sitting in the same spot
You want to go home

But there ain't no home but home on the range
You've forgotten what you look like and it looks like you've forgotten
That the look inside your eye is very strange
Ain't nothing left to hide

You're stripped of all your pride and all you feel inside
Is a hole a mile wide 
You're the freedom desperado
And the perfect living model

Of a land that hasn't any good excuse
Your living in desperation
And you never have felt complete
You live in anticipation

Of another day on the street, sing with me
(Scatting by Scatman John)
Sittin' on your milkcrate, blanket wrapped around you
I see you sitting day after day

I really like to talk but I know if I approached you
You'd probably get up and walk away
You're wishin' that your home of the American dream
Wasn't only smoke and exhaust

I love you desperado and all I gotta say
You let me know how much I really lost
Your living in desperation
And you never have felt complete

You live in anticipation
Of another day on the street, sing with me
(Scatting by Scatman John)
Your living in desperation

And you never have felt complete
You live in anticipation
Of another day on the street, sing with me
(Scatting by Scatman John)

aidan's engels
Thank you

ryan24287 no problem my friend <3

Thanks, but the paragraphs are awkward

@Willowdrakon 16483204 just like pronouncing in fast japanese songs (meguri megutta kisetsu no naka modoru koto sae dekinai no nara
Last Dance Heaven
odori tsudzukete yume no naka de koware kuzusare kieru kokoro ga
Last Dance Heaven - this is the original one, and now, how you need to pronounce it correctly (if you don't understand, how to say it, look at the end of my comment first):
meguri me. ugutta, kisetsu no naka, modoru ko. to sae, dek. inai no nara
Last Dance Heku
odori tsud. zukete, yume no naka de, koware ku. zusare, kieru kokoro ga
Last Dance Heku

The "." means the pause between the words parts and the "," means the pause between whole phrases

Translation of the song: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amentranslations.wordpress.com/2015/05/17/lost-emotion/amp/

@Fig Channel there are no commas or periods here, I didnt need to know that japanese song.

RIP Scatman. Your music will continue to make people happy.

pleased to hear his less popular songs are still good. RIP Scatman john

Easily one of my favorite songs.

He's dead???! I only just discovered him nooooooo!

yeah it's sad people don't listen or care about his other works 😧

I love you scatman john

I Too! <3

I love you scatman John and all I got to say is YOU LET ME KNOW HOW MUCH I REALLY LOST.

is Scatman ever gonna come back around..?

I think he meant the trend of Scatman in the modern world.

Yes when I grow I will build a spaceship and go to heaven to meet him

@Hanut Pandya 😂 Cool idea, sadly that will not work.

@Scypio 81 Buzzkill

@Hanut Pandya follow your dreams kid soon we'll all be with him in the afterlife

i am scatman !

lol. two people took the b8.






m8.

lol two people have poor grammar/spelling

I use my grammar skills in comments that I want people to take seriously because it helps people take it seriously.
I don't use my grammar skills in comments that I don't want people to take seriously because it helps people *not* take it seriously.
In that comment, I was only being playful and didn't actually want to make an official point.
Also, I wouldn't be talking. You used "lol," didn't capitalize anything, and used no punctuation.

Shiz Honey, If you didn't bother to Specify who you where replying to, you're also retarded.

Venazone Do you use common sense?

I'm too down for this genre of music it's fantastic, love what you do man! Keep it up i enjoy seeing artists move forward in their music

Lordofwars88, You're using Present Tense.

copy and paste strategy sometimes don't work

oh noooo

James Butler Shit, you’re right..

He's dead for almost 21 years.
