Lyrics
Mmm, yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah, yeah yeah
Oh life, oh life
I'm afraid of the dark
Especially when I'm in a park
And there's no one else around
Ooh, I get the shivers
I don't want to see a ghost
It's a sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
And watch the evening news
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo, doo doo doo
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo, doo doo doo
I'm a superstitious girl
I'm the worst in the world
Never walk under ladders
I keep a rabbit's tail
I'll take you up on a dare
Anytime, anywhere
Name the place, I'll be there
Bungee jumping, I don't care
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo, doo doo doo
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo, doo doo
Life, doo, doo doo
Doo, doo doo
So after all is said and done
I know I'm not the only one
Life indeed can be fun
If you really want to
Sometimes living out your dreams
Ain't as easy as it seems
You wanna fly around the world
In a beautiful balloon
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo, doo doo doo
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo, doo doo doo
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo, doo doo doo
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo, doo doo doo
Doo, doo doo doo
Doo, doo doo doo
Doo, doo doo doo
Doo, doo doo doo
Doo, doo doo doo
Oh life, oh life
Oh life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Oh life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Anyone in 2024❤?
Yo.❤

The mid-late 90s was such a beautiful time to be alive. Unforgettable memories. Classic music.
Not the shit we get now.😢
✨✨ a u t h e n t I c v i e w s ✨ ✨ really propelled Des'ree to the big leagues, and for that, I'll forever be grateful
Remembering the good old days, this song always gives me melancholy.
What amazing years...the end of '90
C est très vrai
That’s how I be feeling too when I listen to this

We don't search for good old songs,but we search for good old memories ❤❤ life
I heard it on triangle of sadness and had to find it. Finally
I WAS SEARCHING FOR THIS SONG FOR OVER 15 YEARS AND FINALLY FOUND IT !!!!! OMG I‘M SO HAPPY 😭😭😭🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️
lol
Thats you and i
Enjoy...
I honestly just search night oh night oh nightttttt when its actually life oh life oh lifeeeeeee lol
@@justahappytroll I searched „I oh I oh iiiiii oh I“ and never found it 😂😂😂 the day I commented it started on the radio so I had to open Spotify and I was so stressed and happy at the same time 😭🙏😂
Bali 1999 was when i first heard this song. Was madly in love with my Canadian gf that i had met when we were backpacking in Australia. She flew to Bali to surprise me. One of the best weeks of my life. Our relationship never lasted due to distance, sadly. Hope you are having a great life Amy!
@Rebecca very often
@Rebecca its true!
Have you visit the island again ? Bali just reopened but just for some* country citizenship

this was the ultimate sommer hit in 1998 ... 💚💙💜🤎No 1 in Austria, 3 in Switzerland, and 8 in Germany - what a timeless masterpiece
"Sometimes living out your dreams ain't as easy as it seems". Wise words...
You can't live on 🌞shine alone.
I'm touched
It's almost hard to believe the world used to be this innocent
Nah it never did. It was just an illusion
The punishments for actions were worse back then
I mean, people thought it was ridiculous back then too. But yeah things were a bit more innocent.
@@dazeitem no, just a whole different generation
Hardly innocent, we were just ignorant to the suffering of others.
What a timeless calming classic 🤌❤️
I absolutely love this song, her voice her style ❤
Jesus christ, the nostalgia. I used to come home from school, get a glass of chocolate milk and watch MTV everyday. Oh life, oh life, oh liiiiiifeeeee, oh life.
+Danny Jamison Chocolate milk? I'd rather have a piece of toast.
+Project•Vanko hahaha
Me too, in Italy :) Here we use to say "the whole world is country" :) such a nostalgia.
Agreed!! I SO MISS THE 90'S!! LIFE!!...
i share the same memory! haha tuuututu life tuuuuutu tuututu tuutuutuuuuu oh life
This woman could sing about absolutely anything and it would sound amazing
Back when life was good🥺❤
God yes. I was early teens whole family bbq in garden everyone laughing gettin along. Now some of them family members not here anymore and siblings dnt talk a parents not together. We thought life was crap at the time but it was the best time looking back now.
Those days when love was more than just social media pictures. ❤
I never thought a line like "I'd rather have a piece of toast" would make me teary-eyed... yet here we are! Oh childhood, oh chiiiildhood...
I know what you're saying. They are good tearys. Just makes your eyes shiny hey ? I for some reason transcend to a happy and sunny pineapple field on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland . No idea why,but I'm teary happy when I do. Don't tell anyone though haha
Oh childhood, I miss this music
I feel you, this song takes me back
Had a good laugh about that too
That's life for ya ooh life
I was not ready for this adult Life.
Ndumiso Gunqisa same
So true
best comment ever
Nobody is , it’s hard isn’t it
Me neither
It's been 24 years since I heard this song and it feels like yesterday 😊When I felt sad, it cheered me up especially with those lyrics: " life indeed can be fun if we really want to..."❤
Wow, i'm like that! The most important i'm who i'm! I'm pround of me! I'm a very strong woman!!!❤️
I read hours and thought "well yeah, that IS yesterday" hahaha
They don't make masterpieces like this anymore 😢
Yeah the culture has taken a dark turn involving weird devilish things and people follow the Pied Piper anyway because he has a platform..
My teenage years listening to this, today on my 40's still listen to this positive tune. Timeless! Love it!
Look and i Listen That to my childhood :) and still Listen in my 30‘s
Me to exactly the same age, thus was my tune also. Can't believe uts song was so long ago, and it's not lost its vibe, jhoi hope life life will always come up to meet you x oh life
27 and will never forget this from my very early childhood, analog radio era, central Europe.
Same here!😊💞
KZhead did an awesome job we can now listen to cool music not waiting for radio presentations
A message for the future generations, don't let this masterpiece die.
May they never be afraid of the dark, in a park, or see a ghost while quietly enjoying the news.

This song still gives me goosebumps. LIFE O LIFE
I remember listening to this song on the radio when I was little! Now I found it again by chance 😍😍
Same when i was a little girl but today i searched for it🎉❤
Une très chanson qui me plonge dans mon enfance gaie
Don’t worry…you re not the only one who listening this masterpiece in 2023✨
i only worry for the peeps that never heard this song
Me too!

I'm not worried at all!
Thanks you made my day
I miss the 90's. I am 44 now. Thank you God for my Family and for a Beautiful Life !
I'm 46 and what you said xo
I'm 19 and I thank God for life!
Ce son magnifique quand je me réveille je l'écoute pour m'apporter la bonne humeur ❤ qui est là en 2023
Beautiful song. Reminds of my childhood when we would sit with my siblings and listen to the radio. Seeet memories❤
I would have given everything , to live again the 90's , that's was the best part of life .
💯
absolutely
🙋♂️
Eternal hope same best part of my life
💯🙌
I can relate to this because I also have a life. The chorus in particular sums up the experience of being not dead.
Not for long :)
LOL
I can relate to the Doo, doo doo doo part because whilst being alive aswell, I took a shit.
Exactly my thoughts
I can relate because I would rather have a piece of toast than see a ghost
2024 , still sounds divine
Life can be really fun if you want to ❤.... 2024. Masterpiece... proud 90's baby
Growing up I always thought this song has a very deep meaning, until I learned english and started paying attention to the lyrics.
You mean since you saw it on TikTok... 🙄 The lyrics are fine...
@@Wout.vlmnck hill, I've never said lyrics are not fine, just not as deep as I thought 😃
u know this song existed before tik tok... right?
@@celina2373 I do actually. Thanks for your concern. It's only know - since TikTok - EVERYONE seems to be passionate about the lyrics of the song. Y'all just jumping on the latest bashing trend.
fall in love with it at age 7
This brings back memories I can’t type in a comment. Still picture my younger mother jamming to this as she cooked for us as children.
Oh my word I have the same memory
My big sister jamming to this while washing dishes after lunch
Samee
Exactly!
I remember a Christmas party in 1999 , and all the old people were so happy lol so those are my memories of this track , so I know whenever I have to put the mood on chill , this is a premium selection
2024 anyone? I saw it on my friend's WhatsApp status and decided to come check up the full video here
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! I FINALLY FOUND THIS SONG!!!!!!!!! YEARS AND YEARS TRYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OOOOOOOOOMG
you are not alone..... have been trying for the longest time ever
And the worst part is that based on what I used to remember, I was finding a song named "Tom's Diner" that is the worst song ever written.
ocredo same here bro
Same! it's so long ago hat I herd it that I kept search in "my oh my"😄
Lol!!! My oh my
For some reason every time I heard this song as a little girl, I had a feeling I would figure life out someday....I'm 36 now and I feel like I have. Listening to this song all over again makes me feel sooooo good. May you all get that which you seek 🌻
Thank you. We all 🙏🏽
Amen 🙏 🙏
Amen!
I don't want to see a ghost It's a sight that I fear most I'd rather have a piece of toast And watch the evening news Such intelligent lyrics
Well done you. And also this is a cool song and the film is super
Such a simple yet profound classic.... So glad I was alive in this era ❤
2024 still a masterpiece and will be
My first daughter was born during this song was airing at the top of the list, she sleeps everytime she hears this song and she stop crying too. This is the song was played during her debut. Now she still sing and love this song.
Beautiful testimony🥰🥰
My childhood :( I want it back so badly!!!

One of the most beautiful songs ever written for me. Hope you are doing great Désirée, wish you the best
Reading these messages made me smile a lot seeing i am not the only one still hearing this song,and it’s almost 2023. I’m just 21 but i used to hear “Life” a lot in my childhood and finding it here after years..for sure more than a decade after,almost made me cry!!! Such a beautiful and unique masterpiece🤍
Thanks❤❤❤
i remember when i was 4/5 years old every morning my parents drove me to Kindergarten and this song always on the radio. good old times
omg same. i miss my childhood. maybe you and i are the same age?

Aww I remember being 20 x I'm 31 now xoxo
‘Sometimes living out your dreams is not as easy as it seems’ …… 2024☺️
This is beyond music..it's endless good vibes
Remember when there was no technology and only radio and recording via cassette
Excellent that was greater then mp3 etc
Sure -- now not to catch you on a word, but know there's been technology since the Stone Age, just tech that is comparatively low and simple.
Showing your age there bro! But they were the best days 😃
VHS in my case...
i remember it all
This is not just a song ... This is what we Call GOOD VIBES 😀😀😀
Real good vibes😂😂😂 Bess actually😁
Shut up!!!jabroni...i listen to music in any form!i hate how you word your comment...it is terrible.you cannot throw away the truth.it is still a song!!!i download songs...songs are on my LPs,Cd,tapes!!!not good vibes..mainly.i download music.i dont download good vibes.😡😡😡😡😡angry at you!!!
That is so true
Oh yeah yay yay
Yup! But at wikipedia you can Reader that it is the song with the least sens of all lyrics of all songs ever made...
My best memory of 98
You are spot on.
2024..❤..i bet ther will still be more comin..cheerz to life for life
These lyrics hit different 2021.....I really WOULD much rather a piece of toast.
i ll share mine with you
Than what?
liric? como assim
You can.
❤️💯❤️💯💋
The lyrics are just immaculate
The first two lines sounds like it was written by a child life by des'ree. i dont wanna see a ghost its a sign that i fear most, id rather have a piece of toast, watch the evening news, im afraid of the dark 'specially when im in a park and theres no one else around oooh i get the shivers.
The "doo do do doo" part is especially relevant in these dark times.
@@grahamcammack479 I dunno... It's a little too on the nose for my taste. I feel like it lacks an "a" or possibly even an "i"
@@80Elminster we need to make sure she's mastered at least two vowels before getting technical buddy.
The reason the lyrics are aloof is because those are not really butterflies, that crop duster is letting off toxic fumes and Des'ree is hallucinating the whole thing.
Manifesting a road trip with this song playing in the background.
As a teenager in the 90s in a state of somewhat depression, I consciously and successfully used this song to bring me out of it by embracing the beauty and simplicity of life. Thanks Des'ree. (I would lock my room door, play this loud and just dance)
"Triangle of Sadness" brought me here 😁🙌🏻
This song was so iconic of the 90th it's innocent, pure, simple and perfect. I miss my childhood
It's midnight in the west coast of Africa (0218 am) Kenya 🇰🇪. I'm sitted on my bed listening and watching this dope music . What a blessing! Ooh this life! I don't know what to say . I'm speechless. Thanks to the creator the living God for this gift and all I request of him is his intervention in human affairs ...... the world is going amok / crazy.
My mother reccomended me this song when I went to study abroad from JP. Now there're a lot of what I'm worry about in my life abroad, but like this lyrics I strongly believe " LIFE INDEEDCAN BE FUN IF YOU REALLY WANT TO" and I'll make it:)
Thank you "Triangle of Sadness" for bringing me back to 1998!
Yeah me too. Totally forgot about this song.
Brings back the Good memories during my 20's 😍 no stress just having fun and enjoying life. 👍
Life is so beautiful
I remember watching this on MTV back in 1998. I was 7 years old back then. Time flies like crazy😭😭😭
Am so glad this lady is from my country Nigeria 🇳🇬 to the world forever
Not only her, but all of humanity from Africa. This is a scientific fact
@@thebiglebowski3672 From what I gather, the out of Africa theory has been disproven years ago. Sub-Saharan Africans are descendants of ancient humans that hybridized with Homo Erectus. The idea that Erectus had to first evolve in Africa is contradicted by Eurasian apes of the Myocene. Most legitimate anthropologists now believe out of Africa theory to be outdated nonsense. We've been told it for many years to the point where people do actually believe it is fact, though.. but modern studies, now much more advanced, will show that it is untrue. Comprehensively. It was always as linked to the political fashion of the day. Science is down stream of power.
It says on Wikipedia that she is from Croydon, London. But that her mother was from Guyana and her Father is from Barbados. 🤔 I don't see any mention of Nigeria. 🤔
@Sinnerboy88 😂😂😂
Dumb talk she is British not Nigerians
Another super song from the 90s! What a decade!
1998 what a memories... My adolescence. 😊

@@luckystone2293 I am not going to say anything negative to you man, you pick a fight because inside you feel alone and empty, and the only way to express yourself is by anger or sadness. Maybe I have been there. Remember, you're not alone, people do care about you.
Two years ago I said to my then-26 year old daughter: "Honey, there was this song when you were about five or six that you and I used to love. It was a gorgeous song and had this girl in a car and lots of butterflies...and that's all I remember" and she had no idea what I was on about... And now, here it is... and as gorgeous as ever. Aren't great songs just timeless?? ....
Ohhh yes, my oldest daughter is 22 years now, but she was a little Baby when this Song came out. And whenever I heard it, i take my little Baby and dance with her in all rooms from our house... Wonderful Flashback 💖💖💖💖

This masterpiece was never a hit in the USA but when I was 10 in 1998 I went overseas for a couple weeks to visit family and this song always played. It’s one of my favorites!!❤️
I m Europe was everywhere....it was huge in the summer of 1998
Roger that. I heard it a few days before I began a new phase of my pre adult life. Oh Life!!
That’s exactly when I went overseas. I heard it multiple times a day💗
Triangle of sadness just reminded me of this classic.
Lol also came here right after that scene. Just Started watching
This song use to come on a german pop channel and I loved this song as a kid. Such a uplifting song. And as an adult knowing what this song is about. Never giving up, life can end in the split of a second. Dont ever take anything for granted. Live to your fullest, be strong brave and KIND. And most important. Remember that things get better.

Because people on social media tend to abuse these type of gems, and it will not be the same as you hear it almost every single day and you'll eventually get tired of hearing it. So I agree with Patrick.

Man, this woman and her songs makes me so warm and happy. We need more music like that :)
so true
That's nostalgy without living and caring the wealth and technology. #happysouls #humanity
She's releasing a new album after 16 years, on Oct 11th. Enjoy ❤️
so true 👍🏼
This one moves mountains.. manifest it and so it shall be... Believing in it and staying in that believe is a very powerful thing. .😇
Good lord. The nostalgia..
the nostalgis is deadly in this one
Loving the 90s music... brings so much memories of my younger years.
It makes us so nostalgic because 90s was the era of awesomeness.
She has elegance and not raunchy and her voice is like a British Queen. Whitney Houston going Enya with Opera mentality level type. She needs to come back wearing the most elegant red carpet/opera dresses and sing. She needed to go way up higher set apart. She needed to get crazy in thinking epic but she didn't see herself. GOLD. S he needed to really think dripping in freaking Gold in her presentation more and she would have slammed dunked it! But she stayed custom and mediocre. She needed to act. I ALREADY ARRIVED. A QUEEN WITH OUT DOUBT. DANG!
I'm male and this song according to the universe helped me give up a very long drug addiction! Life, indeed! 😂 👍👊🙏
