The Christians - What's In A Word (2013 SiX DwArF remastered promo of album version HQ stereo )

- There incredibly isn't a video of The Christians' amazing 1992 hit What's in a Word on You Tube that has been properly sync-ed, in high quality and with stereo. And none involving the whole album version. So here's a SiX DwArF re-vamp for those like me who think this is a cardinal sin.
You can draw comparisons to a perhaps more politically-charged Temptations.
Contrary to some belief, The Christians are not religious zealots. They are a pop-soul musical ensemble from Liverpool, England, who had several UK and international chart hits in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The name of the band refers to the surname of the three brothers that were originally in the line-up, and is also coincidentally guitarist Henry Priestman's middle name.
Their self-titled debut album was one of the biggest sellers of 1987 helped with a string of corking hit singles. It entered the UK Albums Chart at number 2 and eventually sold over a million copies.
Garry Christian, the lead singer is still touring the Christians' back catalogue. - Hudba
I was 16 when this song released. I'm french and i didnt understand a single word by that time and never tried to get the lyrics. But the song drived my whole life till today for some reason and defined what i am. I guess this is what we call magic ?è
Masterpiece, amazing song, amazing video, amazing band. Even more remastered. For the people of the world.
.....a RIDICULOUSLY-underrated album that's LONG in need of remastering, re-release - THANKS for this, sir!
Great song, great message. GREAT!
More than ever this Music means everything !!!!
It's unbelievably beautiful !!
God bless the Christians ❤
Garry Christian, what a voice
No me canso de escuchar esta canción
Maravilloso. Cualquier tiempo pasado fue MEJOR❤
Anyone 2020 always loved this band!

Great hit , uplifting and hopeful in this draconian times humanity is going through , prayers and peace for all
Indeed!!
Indeed, and getting worse. FFS Give peace a chance!
Choirs and vocal arrangements are so wonderful ! Always good vibes ♥️
Great song! Brings back lots of wonderful memories!
Desde España, maravillosa composición la más completa que jamás se haya oído en muchos años,un enamorado de ustedes the Christians ,llevo años escuchando este tema y nunca me cansa al contrario, gracias por hacer música de verdad.El panorama musical actual necesita música así,ya no volverá lo bueno como esto . Gracias the Christians
Tuve la suerte de verlos en directo en los 90 en sala Zeleste, Barcelona...una maravilla ❤
They don't make them like this anymore. A brilliant song from a brilliant band. Memories!!!
What a beautiful track - the production is amazing, the song - especially the chorus - is sublime, the message of the song can't be faulted and the video, with its hints of latin tyrannies and revolution is so well done, and the voices just wonderful. What an underrated band. I keep coming back to them , especially this track - thanks guys!!
Zoran you have expressed my feelings only more eloquently than I ever could. Every time I hear this song it brings tears to my eyes. "And I have heard there's a new age dawning". Oh man, that wipes me out and lifts me up. How it must feel to create a song of such sublime beauty. A greater tribute to MLK has not been made. The world needs this.
One of the most beautiful songs of all times!!! Thx MJJ. :)
Agreed😊

Ancora oggi, 01/11/2021, rimane una delle canzoni più belle.
it awakens in me memories of 92' year. More than 25'y, like yesterday..
simply amazing timeless anthem!.....always loved this!!
underrated band... what a voice and a beautiful sense of melody that comes from heaven :)
one of the best best best songs. perfect !!
One of the best 90's hits, thx for posting
U mean the 80's?
1992, not 80s
Thanks for uploading this. It's an incredible song... has been ringing in my ears for decades now. It's nice to hear it for real from time to time...
Due to band wranglings and the fact people wrongly thought they might be bible thumpers , i dont think they got the credit they deserved. Double-platinum selling debut LP entered the UK album charts at number 2 but they never really capitalised on that
Beautiful soulful voices and never ages this and many of The Christians' songs 👍💚💚💚
Great song and video, positive vibes..
Oh, yes it's hard, it's getting harder
To turn the cheek or just walk away
When all I see is degradation
Day after day
I wanna fight, my hands are tied
My weapons are pitiful
And all that's left
One troubled mind, one timid voice
Such a desperate noise
What's in a word, more than you imagine
What's in a word, more than I can say
Once in a while you can hear such sweet sounds
Freedom's singing in your head, in your head
And while I slide down into darkness
You spent so proud, so proud in the light
Oh, help me please
I think I'm falling between wrong and right
Why give me strenght, then speak at lenght
Of wisdom and tenderness
So much to learn, so much to lose
I've asked it before, now tell me once more
What's in a word, more than you imagine
What's in a word, more than I can say
Once in a while you can hear such sweet sounds
Chimes of freedom in your head
Yes I have heard that a new age's dawning
And I have heard that the die is cast
I know the word can be liberation
For a people free at last, free at last
Some give a damn, some give their lives
Why can't we give peace a chance
Put down that gun, a battle won without even a shot
Oh, dreamer I'm not
What's in a word, more than you imagine
What's in a word, more than I can say
Once in a while you can hear such sweet sounds
Freedom's singing in your head
Yes I have heard that a new age's dawning
And I have heard that the die is cast
I know the word can be liberation
For the people free at last
Free at last
Thanks so much for writing out the lyrics, just the odd mistake (sometimes it's hard to hear the correct lyric), which I hope you don't mind me correcting :-)
Verse 2:
"And while I slide down into darkness
You STAND so proud, so proud in the light
"
and
Last chorus:
"Yes I have heard THERE'S a new age dawning".
And thanks SiX DwArF for posting this video on youtube.

The lyrics of this amazing song make me feel both anger and hope. Anger for what is and hope for what we might become.
What a great song, filmed in the best city Lisboa
Yes, even in 2020
que de super souvenir se groupe est genial
Love this song ... and at last one that's in sync ... thanks so much!
Un groupe que suis allée voir à Limoges en france parceque je l'avais entendu sur une chaine française..absolument magnifique me suis régalée ..G acheté plusieurs cd et depuis plus de 3ans ds ma voiture il y a toujours un titre de ce groupe qui tourne en boucle un véritable regal ..je ne suis jamais allé voir un autre groupe ..pour moi C le summum..❤❤
Love this song so much great memories from its realease in 92 !!!
Simply fantastic
Underrated song
wholey wholey wholey love my friends ,we all need some of this , more than you can imagine .... Free at last
Scandalous that this song only reached Number 33 in the UK charts!
I just checked top chart position of this masterpiece. Can you believe this was only number 33? Its a shame, actually disgraceful. Were People already so dumbed down they didnt recognize this or just the TV- radio music vendors? I hope for some future re-release or cover to make up for this unjustice.
Go go high court
Still enjoying in 2020?...
DIVINE music! THANK YOU!
Free at last great lyrics. I also like forgotten town it reminds me when I played their record on my stereo in 1988. It woke up the neighborhood and along with other artists records evokes good memories.
J’adore et je l’écoute encore et encore...!!!
Give peace a chance

@@grahampollitt791 please 🙏
ma chanson préférée des années 90.Que de souvenirs ...
Oh oui, c'est dur, c'est de plus en plus dur
Oh yes, it's hard, it's getting harder
Pour tendre la joue ou simplement s'éloigner
To turn the cheek or just walk away
Quand tout ce que je vois c'est la dégradation jour après jour
When all I see is degradation day after day
(Jour après jour après jour après jour après jour)
(Day after day after day after day after day)
Je veux me battre, mes mains sont liées
I wanna fight, my hands are tied
Mes armes sont pitoyables
My weapons are pitiful
Et tout ce qui reste, un esprit troublé
And all that's left, one troubled mind
Une voix timide
One timid voice
Un bruit si désespéré
Such a desperate noise
Plus que tu ne l'imagines
More than you imagine
(Qu'y a-t-il dans un mot) Plus que je ne peux dire
(What's in a word) More than I can say
(De temps en temps) Tu peux entendre des sons si doux
(Once in a while) You can hear such sweet sounds
La liberté chante dans ta tête, dans ta tête
Freedom's singing in your head, in your head
Et pendant que je glisse dans les ténèbres
And while I slide down into darkness
Tu es si fier, si fier dans la lumière
You stand so proud, so proud in the light
Oh, aide-moi, s'il te plaît, je pense que je tombe
Oh, help me, please, I think I'm falling
Entre le mal et le bien
Between wrong and right
Pourquoi me donner de la force alors parle longuement
Why give me strength then speak at length
De sagesse et de tendresse (Tendresse)
Of wisdom and tenderness (Tenderness)
Tant à apprendre, tant à perdre
So much to learn, so much to lose
Je l'ai déjà demandé, oh, dis-le-moi encore une fois
I've asked it before, oh, tell me once more
Plus que tu ne l'imagines
More than you imagine
(Qu'y a-t-il dans un mot) Plus que je ne peux dire
(What's in a word) More than I can say
(De temps en temps) Tu peux entendre des sons si doux
(Once in a while) You can hear such sweet sounds
Des carillons de liberté dans ta tête
Chimes of freedom in your head
Oui, j'ai entendu dire qu'un nouvel âge se lève
Yes, I have heard there's a new age dawning
Et j'ai entendu dire que les dés sont jetés
And I have heard that the die is cast
Je sais que le mot peut être "libération"
I know the word can be "liberation"
Pour un peuple enfin libre, enfin libre
For a people free at last, free at last
Certains s'en foutent, certains donnent leur vie
Some give a damn, some give their lives
Pourquoi ne pouvons-nous pas donner une chance à la paix (Donner une chance à la paix)
Why can't we give peace a chance (Give peace a chance)
Pose cette arme, une bataille gagnée sans même un coup de feu
Put down that gun, a battle won without even a shot
Oh, un rêveur je ne suis pas
Oh, a dreamer I'm not
Plus que tu ne l'imagines
More than you imagine
(Qu'y a-t-il dans un mot) Plus que je ne peux dire
(What's in a word) More than I can say
(De temps en temps) Tu peux entendre des sons si doux
(Once in a while) You can hear such sweet sounds
La liberté chante dans ta tête
Freedom's singing in your head
Oui, j'ai entendu dire qu'un nouvel âge se lève
Yes, I have heard there's a new age dawning
Et j'ai entendu dire que les dés sont jetés
And I have heard that the die is cast
Je sais que le mot peut être "libération"
I know the word can be "liberation"
Pour un peuple enfin libre
For a people, free at last
Qu'y a-t-il dans un mot, woh oh
What's in a word, woh oh
(Qu'est-ce qu'un mot)
(What's in a word)
(Qu'est-ce qu'un mot, la libération)
(What's in a word, liberation)
Je peux entendre un si doux son chanter dans ta tête
I can hear such sweet sound singing in you head
Enfin libre
Free at last
