It feels like all the times as a kid you play make believe and pretend that the world was perfect and you had everything you wanted. It just comes rushing at you. There’s just something about this goofy song that just hurts so much.

I was 9 when he published "Scatman". I remembered a couple of days ago the song "Scatman" and for some reason I was interessted in the story of this song. And then I realised what a great artist Scatman John is. He had a vision and never gave up his hope to approach his goal with music. But songs like "quiet desperation" shows deep inside he lost his hope. This guy is so unknown in the whole world of music.

I think this guy has a great philosophy, almost everything in it talked about in the Bible actually. A world of love and peace achieved through your dedication to someone who is perfect love and incomprehensible peace who can personally show you how to live like that. I know how broken the world feels and I used to have clinical anxiety but it was taken by Jesus and he gave me peace. I won’t apologize for Jesus because I know she is the best thing that there is. He makes your life from a mess into the ability to have peace and love when the world shows none. I pray that whoever reads this will consider my words and that God will use them to help some of you.

This man was decades ahead of his time. We miss him dearly in this decade.

Wow his face at the end. You can see the love and light shining through. What a beautiful, powerful spirit scatman.❤️

I wonder if you're wondering where Scatland is? It isn't far away. I'll take you there now. Just close your eyes, make a wish, give yourself a hug. You're half-way there, just love yourself, love yourself And a dream will come true. You'll find yourslf in Scatland And suddenly discover that the person from Scatland is you. The people of Scatland speak in Scatish Scatish is a language not quite like a leprechaun It sounds like a language of the people of earth Who speak in a tongue of their own.

the story of his life and the message that he wants to send with his music is truly moving

Одно могу сказать! Это красивый альбом Джона. Дорожу этими темами досих пор. 🇷🇺

This is one of the greatest videos/songs ever created. This video perfectly encapsulates what a free world without so much hatred and greed would look like. My personal favorite part is the man jumping from his window into the water, it, at least in my mind, perfectly encapsulates freedom and harmony. The saddest thing about this video is that this will probably never be achieved. But, maybe if humanity focused more on self-improvement and progress rather than bickering or rivalry, perhaps it can be. Note: Five months later, I would like to note that by "progress" I don't mean the technological kind or even the kind that is promoted in politics. By progress, I mean getting closer and closer to a world where each individual can live without his life being dictated by so many events outside of his control, and where everyone constantly strives to be the best they can possibly be. Unfortunately neither of those things are true for most people today. Hopefully, in time, that will change.

If you think a little bit, he continued spreading the same message that Pops Louie Armstrong did back then... maybe that`s why he made that " connection back in time " with Pops in " Everybody Jam ". Spreading the message of love it`s not an easy task. But he did it as long as he could, and he did it AWESOMELY GOOD with musical skills, being humble, and joy. This man is in my list of " best artists in the world ", he`s career was interrupted by his sickness, despite that I can see he had begin a lot of projection with music, and he was becoming very very famous around the globe. I get a little bit emotional as I`m typing this lines, but I feel this man could been reaching more stars in the sky of fame, if only he could being still alive.
