In 2023, still wondering how John wrote his songs. So wise. Indirect message. Clearly understood by the wise. Relevant video. Rest easy legend. Forever in our hearts.
I have never seen or heard,I repeat I have never seen or heard any single musician the world over with such poetic lyrics, every single track by baba ciku requires one to be very attentive n smart to understand the message.... continue resting in peace music GOAT
Tell me of a musician with such knowledge on both Christianity Rand kikuyu culture. None has ever reached the heights of John de' Mathew. a legend is gone and will be missed forever.
Wao... what a gift... never heard the song but I dedicate it to the President.. MENE MENE TEKELI ... your time is done... Retire faithfully.. infact you are lucky coz people in Kenya Retire at 55 from private sector, and 60 while under the government... thank you for time you have served.
The phrase mene mene tekel upharsin appears in Daniel 5, along with its translation. Some translations spell upharsin as parsin. The phrase appeared on a wall in the palace of Belshazzar, the acting king of Babylon. He is referred to as the “son of Nebuchadnezzar (Daniel 5:18, 22), although he was not Nebuchadnezzar’s immediate successor (Jeremiah 52:31). The biblical account of the mysterious and frightening appearance of the phrase mene mene tekel upharsin has given rise to the modern expression “the handwriting on the wall,” meaning “a portent or warning of inevitable misfortune.”
Van Van, refer to the book of Kings. King belshaazar in the Bible.. He mocked God by drinking with temple cups... God condemned him by dethroning as him as king... Mene mene tekel meaning... Your kingdom has has come to an end. That is if you are a Christian.. Crazy right?
