Winwood, Steve - Why Can't We Live Together Lyrics






Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Why can't we live together?
Tell me why, tell me why,
Why can't we live together?

Everybody wants to live together.
Why can't we live together?

No more war, no more war, no more war
Just a little peace in this world
No more war, no more war,
All we want is some peace in this world

Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we live together?

No matter, no matter what colour
You are still my brother
I said no matter, no matter what colour
You are still my brother

Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we live together?
Everybody wants to live together.
Why can't we live together?

Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Why can't we live together?
Tell me why, tell me why,
Why can't we live together?

  1. A.... L....

    Brasil Rio de Janeiro
    Paz e bem

  2. J.... A....

    Se Timmy Thomas de 1972 recuerda a Carlos Santana y a la época, con tinte latino.
    Recuerda algo al oye como va de Carlos Santana de 1970,tintes latinos.

  3. P.... J....

    I like the Sade version but SW takes it to another level.

  4. A.... a....

    Maravilhosa 💖😀

  5. P.... T....

    Hey people, probably Jasiugm wasn't born when Timmy record this track and maybe he doesn't even knows who Timmy Thomas is. Don't crucify him.

  6. E.... B....

    Was this in a video game!!??

  7. T.... J....

    BOA REGRAVAÇÃO. Nota 8.

  8. T.... A....

    Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why.
    Why can't we live together?
    Tell me why, tell me why.
    Why can't we live together?

    Everybody wants to live together.
    Why can't we be together?

    No more wars, no more wars, no more war...
    Just a little peace in this world
    No more war, no more war.
    All we want is some peace in this world.

    Everybody wants to live together.
    Why can't we be together?

    No matter, no matter what colour.
    You are still my brother.
    I said no matter, no matter what colour.
    You are still my brother.

    Everybody wants to live together
    Why can't we be together?

    Everybody wants to live.
    Everybody's got to be together.

    Everybody wants to live.
    Everybody's going to be together.

    Everybody's got to be together.
    Everybody wants to be together.

    I said no matter, no matter what colour.
    You're still my brother.
    I said no matter, no matter what colour.
    You're still my brother.

    Everybody wants to live together.
    Why can't we be together?

  9. j.... m....

    Very Santana here .....

  10. J.... C....

    Your still my brother

  11. T.... H....

    There is a 99% that want to live together. Always remember that. There is a 1% that control the world. Think about that?

  12. S.... W....

    For me, the more different people who sing it, the better.

  13. H.... ....

    It's not Sade's song :-/

  14. M.... G....

    I love this song, I've heard Santana sing it live also !
    Steve does such an excellent version !!!

  15. M.... S....

    Jasiugm?? Really Dude! I Great Cover Of Thr SHADE SONG?? What You Know Sbout Musiv Would Not Fill A Thimble, Obviously! Steve Windwood "COVERING" Shade's Song?? Try Stevie Windwoods Cover of Timmy Thomas's Song That was Then COVERED, By Shade!! Geez Us, I Guess Your The Next Burgeoning Music Critic Today?? How Freking Sad ! DUMBASS!

  16. t.... ....

    not his best tune

  17. D.... C....

    Although I love Timmy's original, this cover is amazing with the latin feel.

    D.... C....

    Yeah, I definitely agree.

  18. B.... ....

    Yes, as others have correctly pointed out: this is a TIMMY THOMAS song. Sade (not Shade) did a great cover (she's Sade!). Carlos Santana did an even Better cover ('96 Sao Paulo), but then he's Carlos f/ing Santana. And, Stevie Winwood is fantastic as well. His "Can't find my Way Home" from Crossroads is not to be missed. Enjoy everyone, and I hope people who post on here would get their facts right. It ain't hard.

  19. K.... K....

    The percussion on this song is brilliant!

    K.... K....

    Congas , marimbas , bongos ,fish Guiro and Hammond organ through Lesley cab...+++

  20. b.... ....

    I'm Looking for a Live Concert from the About Time tour. Can anyone Assist me?

    b.... ....

    Yes . The one with Tito Puente on Timbales. I'm looking for it too. Looked like it was more a TV production , though. A smaller audience. Austin City Limits??

  21. M.... R....

    IF ONLY DONALD TRUMP COULD UNDERSTAND THESE WORDS.

    M.... R....

    Whatever...

    M.... R....

    you mean the obstructionist lib-tards...gotcha.

    M.... R....

    Marcus Reeves he does he either doesnt care like u think or maybe just maybe like he says he is fine as long as people fo it legally we have to try and have a secure border so we can keep at least the dumber bad people out I BELIEVE THIS ISNT NECESSARLIY ANYONES LAND TO GIVE OR ALLOW ACCESS TO INDIANS WERE HERE BEFORE US BUT ITS ALL THE FATHERS AND SON IN HEAVEN.

    M.... R....

    M.... R....

    Oh go away with the freakin Trump stuff all the time.... enjoy the music man.

  22. S.... S....

    Great Job by Steve Winwood

  23. S.... S....

    Great Job by Steve Winwood

  24. R.... W....

    my god its getting a little late, lets at least build each other homes that may withstand the unleashed power of climate change. Dont kid yourselves about the risks that abound.

  25. l.... ....

    I can just dig on this forever ............

    l.... ....

    i'm with you on that!!

  26. O.... H....

    Who had even heard of Sade ( not that she is a lousy singer , she's quite OK ) when this song was played over the world , including us "behind the iron curtain" ??
    Someone's ignorance is not an excuse for writing whatever in the comments, why unnecessarily misleading the new generations ?

  27. J.... T....

    the percussive parts are awesome.

  28. g.... p....

    Timmy Thomas - Why can't we live together
    album: why can't we live together (1972)

    g.... p....

    I give Steve Winwood props for taking a soulful, Latin rhythm song and for keeping it alive. He is such a talented musician and I say the same for the beautiful and marvelous Sade.

  29. D.... W....

    nice cover and cool artwork

  30. E.... D....

    Orig. by Timmy Thomas.

  34. n.... ....

    Great cover of Shade's song.

    SADE, not Shade

    n.... ....

    Sade made cover of Timmy Thomas original.

  35. t.... ....

If the malloten fight, the world is finished. the crazy make now an ,,religion war....half of the world is christen and half of the world moslim and ..................................................................................

  38. M.... A....

    although Sade did record this song it was written by Timmy Thomas/Tim Thomas

  39. F.... R....

    Santana on Guitars"""

    F.... R....

    Santana has covered this song , but is not the guitarist on this cut.

  40. C.... ....

    Is this on an album I can download?

    C.... ....

    There are lots of apps that let you rip audio and video from YouTube. They work great and the audio is decent.

    C.... ....

    his album 'about time'

  41. A.... O....

    Jasiugm said,
    "Great cover of Shade's song."

    Timmy Thomas did this back in the early 70's.
    While Winwood's version is credible, like Sade's, Timmy's brilliant writing and singing beat both, hands down

  42. j.... V....

    Steve Winwood demasiado bueno,de los mejores de todos los tiempos.

    j.... V....

    Un mito desde que monto en el año 63 con su hermano Muff la Spencer David Group, tendría 15 o 16 años, le visto, conocido en persona es uno de los grandes a la altura de Paul McCartney, Johon Lennon, o Eric Clacton amigo suyo.
    Spencer David Group Traffic, Blind Feith en solitario etc..

  43. f.... s....

    sade did a cover from the original by timmy thomas..

  44. z.... ....

    Timmy Thomas - Why can't we live together 1972 Original pressing.

  45. f.... ....

    Timmy Thomas - Why Can't We Live Together (1973) is the best.

    f.... ....

    +fraklein You got that right.

    f.... ....

    fraklein nah

    f.... ....

    The best is that of Mike Anthony, and the Illusion as well.

  46. m.... ....

    Great!!!! Steve Winwood!
    Thanks for posting,
    jasiugm

  47. p.... z....

    slim shadey

  48. M.... K....

    mitigé
    je trouve que sa voix ne va pas bien avec la chanson (ou le contraire)
    p-e que je suis habitué de connaitre sade la chanter
    bref , quelque chose qui colle pas ds cette version

  49. K.... ....

    Sade's version is itself a cover, not the original. The original is by *Timmy Thomas(1972)*

    K.... ....

    kids, what do they know,ha, ha, ha. i'm just sayin'

    K.... ....

    Perdoe-me a sinceridade, mas a versao do Winwood, mesmo nao sendo a original, é bem mais sofisticada!!!

    K.... ....

    cierto! Aunque las dos veces se parecen.

    K.... ....

    Steve Winwood also does a nice version!

  50. R.... A....

    This song should be played close to the ears of those who don't want to live in peace and harmony with others together!

  51. J.... H....

    Yes, love it as do original.

  52. B.... B....

    This is one of the few covers that I like better than the original... and I LIKE the original.

  53. D.... N....

    What a voice! Like a white Teddy!

  54. J.... O....

    Yessir!

  55. o.... ....

    Nice re-make with a touch of "south of the border."

  56. d.... ....

    Thanks for tip, I'll look into Carlos & Stevie doing this great track together.

  57. g.... ....

    More from the cd please. Please?

  58. B.... L....

    It's spelled Sade -- she's amazing!!

  59. J.... A....

    Steve Winwood The Genious!

  60. R.... J....

    love this.....steve sounds real good

  61. R.... J....

    this song brings everyone together.. one heart... one love ..one sound

  62. a.... ....

    Cover of Shade's song??? Try Timmy Thomas! Thomas wrote it and recorded the original in 1972.

  63. s.... ....

    NO ES COVER DE SADE (NO SHADE)
    ES UNA CANCION ORIGINAL DE TIMMY THOMAS.

  64. d.... ....

    Great post of a classic track, originally done by Timmy Thomas, although Sade did to a nice version as well. Thanks again for posting Steve Winwood's version.
