Isn't it strange that every time someone stands up to preach Peace that they end up suddenly dead. It would seem that for centuries man has decided to follow the route to open warfare, even when all people want is to live in Peace.

Its not strange at all because war benefits the economy and these preachers, in some politicans eyes, create chaos and that kills the politics for the warmongering politicans and in peace they loose money. Its fucked up!

@@rubycourey1944 Where did you hear that? From some of his military oriented family or their friends? I think you're totally wrong. By the time Kris did this song he was already a huge star! And NEVER in his career had he backed or supported war! And anyone who was actually a fan of his would have known his feelings already if they bothered to listen to his lyrics. His true fans agreed with him! He lost no one who was actually fan, over any of his lyrics. If anything, this probably just gave his family more of an excuse to turn their backs on him. But they'd already written him off when he went to Nashville, instead of teaching English at West Point. And thank goodness he did that or the world would have missed out on his amazing talent!!

He is one genius songwriter!

Can't believe, when this song was released, it could not get any radio play, because it was said to be too "controversial". Just another way of saying, it speaks truth. Our man, Kris, wrote and scored another classic.

Wow! I can't believe I have never heard of this song. I found the episode of Johnny Cash Show where Johnny Cash had told him that he would like to sing his song and I was blown away. After that i came here to hear his version. Kris Kristofferson is the of the last of the storytellers. After seeing this I now understand his song Sister Sinead. Thank you Kris.

Such a beautiful song. Great song writer. Thanks, Kris.

One of my all time favorites. Just brilliant. And who wouldn't want to be as cool as KK?

The absolute best song writer ever !!!!! No one even compares ❤️

The guy playing the acoustic guitar is another music legend....Billy Swan...famous for the number 70's song I Can Help

Wonderful song! With the great Stephen Bruton on Lead Guitar - R.I.P.

Dear Kris Kristofferson, Thank you for being a genuine artist. I liked your work in Sam’s western. And of course your performance in Alice. I love this song. It’s something to cling to, during 2020. To me, the song ultimately conveys that dying as a martyr. Is a big blessing in heaven. Sad to see people who just wanted to express light, get Killed for it. Thanks for all the is incredible inspiring work. You’re a light in my book! - Joey Sinko John 3:16

Love Kris. The greatest song writer. Great Song.

"They Killed Him" There was a man named Mahatma Ghandi He would not bow down, he would not fight He knew the deal was down and dirty And nothing wrong could make it right away But he knew his duty, and the price he had to pay Just another holy man who tried to make a stand MY GOD, THEY KILLED HIM! Another man from Atlanta, Georgia By the name of Martin Luther King He shook the land like rolling thunder And made the bells of freedom ring today With a dream of beauty that they could not burn away Just another holy man who dared to be a friend MY GOD, THEY KILLED HIM! The only son of God Almighty The holy one called Jesus Christ Healed the lame and fed the hungry And for his love they took his life away On the road to glory where the story never ends Just the holy son of man we'll never understand MY GOD, THEY KILLED HIM! Sing about Mahatma Ghandi Sing of Martin Luther King Sing Of Jesus Christ Almighty And the brothers Kennedy

I really appreciate this video showing Anwar Sadat (1:44) - President of Egypt and perhaps the only real chance for peace in the middle east, ever. MY GOD THEY KILLED HIM!! 10-6-81 RIP Anwar.

Death is like getting on a bus. We are Spirit beings on a human experience. It ain't over at what we call death. :) dupree

@aenemicions303 Having Studied, You mentioned Egypt, so I will use that as an example. There are Specific points in history where other countries, such as Egypt, and later Rome, Confirm stories told in the bible as accurate detailed events in history. One of which happens prior to 1500BC, a date that you quoted.

FERRY GOOD SONG. IT SHUT BE SINGING IN THE CHURCH.

sorry for taking so long to get back. i don't under stand what you mean. i think all i said was that i was getting those spirit bumps again. When Kriss was singing "They Killed Him". As far as taking anothers life. That a deep one. I think under certain conditions yes. If that's what U mean dupree:) peace

Great song. Seek out Bob Dylan's version, it's amazing as well.

@aenemicions303 With WHat You Quoted, such as Egyption Hyroglyphics, escaped destruction based on where they were. This is much the same of why art and artifacts still exist today the way the do from Pompei.. They were buried. It is the same way as how the Dead sea scrolls survived. The things we have today were hidden.

@aenemicions303 You have my apologies for the wait. I will respond to your comments soon. I unfortunately had a mishap, and my Router(For internet) died. Had to wait till I could get a new one. Again, you have my apologies for not responding in a timely matter do to that.
