Somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting so long
Somebody holds the key
But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home
Come down on your own and leave your body alone
Somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting all these years
Somebody holds the key
But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
Still I can't find my way home
And I ain't done nothing wrong
But I can't find my way home
With today's GPS technology...this song is rendered kind of irrelevant. BUT I'm an old schooler and personally love this song...so never mind.
unless you use apple navigation

The drummer: "F--k the cymbals from this drum kit! I never liked them anyway."
I like them! Great drumming! Unfortunately, you can't hear the kick drum on the entire album. Recorded on 8 tracks, no room for a separate kick drum mic!

Ah, that sir is a classic tiny splash cymbal Ginger uses to mark the phrase. I love it.

Was waisting time on FB last night and caught a solo video of Steve Winwood performing this song on acoustic guitar fireside. Mesmerizing!
I know the one you mean. Mesmerizing as you say.
A cover song is never better than the original but it can be different.

Love to learn new albums, artists, songs, movies, trivia, whatever from the song comments, then go explore...
Thank you
Spread love
Holy cow: my brain has been remixing the cymbal into the background for 50 years. I'll never hear this song again now that you've pointed out the flaw.... I still give it a high 8.
My guess is that they wanted it that way and they are the artists after all. I'd guess, more specifically, that Ginger Baker wanted it that way.
...and who the hell is going to tell Ginger no?!?

I love their sound. I agree that artists of this era formed and reformed many exceptional bands. So many solo careers launched from 60's and 70's from solid bands.
And I loooovee the Alison Krauss version too!!!
It's nice to see the lyrics, but as a_genuine_find says the volume control doesn't work. It hilights when you mouse over it but won't move when you click on it.
I can't move the indicator, but I can click on the line to its left and right to adjust the volume. Dragging it would be nice though.
Anyone else seeing this too?!

Deviant sexual motives. In this case alleged pedophilia. Which was not the artists motive in taking that cover photo....duh!
He was long ago he is far away he was so much better than covfefe.

Hi pinto,
Your ignorant comment is OK. We know that you come from a 'rape culture'.
We know you come from a culture that values ignorance.
Hey now... don't blame an entire culture. Every culture has its problem individuals. There is such a thing as un-cultured (some might say unwashed or ignorant or blinkered). The OP falls more into this category.
Repressed might also be a strong possibility. Someone who sees sexual motives in everything (especially art) could be just that.
OK. Your vote as an advocate for child porn is officially recorded. Thanks for playing.

No problem, it was a good date.

7 ? you heathen. At least an 8.

I have the vinyl from many many yrs ago :)
It used to be up. I think modesty overcame the original. Playing that UK copy with that cover right now actually.

Actually, from reading around, it looks/sounds like it was a splash cymbal.
Nope, will not do. There are not very many comments here anyway. Once people start commenting on the purported "topic of music", then I'll step aside, or limit my comments to just music. I am pretty tired of seeing the vast majority of pages devoid of any commentary (music, or otherwise). I am going to comment on what I feel like. If you do not like it, then you can go somewhere else. I would welcome some real thoughtful commentary by you, BTW. (I won't hold my breath.)
No one expects a blowhard to hold their breath. These pages are filled with topical music commentary, the vast majority of which is enjoyable to read. You just haven't noticed because you wouldn't know what it looks like, being so obsessed with being pithy and inflammatory rhetoric. So it smacks of hypocrisy to hear you spew on the topic.
I'll stop asking you to come out from under your bridge, though, as it is pointless to do so.

Slightly better on the MFSL Gold CD remaster
I try to think of them recording this song in a hotel room and all they had was a tambourine. Works!

cool soundtrack eh

I had the pleasure of hearing this live as Steve Winwood is opening for Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers tour.

Got to see the original at the Spectrum in Philly ~1969. The album wasn't out yet as I recall and they were billed as the new Cream; which of course they weren't; but once we got past that it was a very enjoyable concert.
I'll try to think of those cymbal crashes as interesting sonic artifacts from the 2-track period of rock history.

Amway!
Unfortunately the original masters for this album were lost. Some studio trickery might be helpful here, but there's only so much you can do with a 2-track master...

Take is somewhere else boys.
Music is the topic.

Wow! This song has really stood up well to time....only just realizing after several listens, it's from 1969!!! I thought it was much more current. It's pretty darn nice to be able to say this was before my time --I hardly ever get to do that anymore; made my day :)
Byronape, what I have said is really beyond dispute. If you don't know this, then you're not looking very closely. Universities are notoriously hostile to conservatives, and hiring conservatives, for example. I'll also just give a couple non-ideological examples, but I could give hundreds: Larry Summers comments about women and mathematics that were uncontroversial and that caused a national uproar and nearly lost him his job; E.O. Wilson's writings about evolutionary biology that were met with near-violent protests. My main point though, which you seem to agree on, is that we can no longer even talk about race. We’re all too scared to open our mouths! PC-ness is harmful to the people it’s meant to help. BTW, you get no argument from me as to your assessment of the Juan Williams case. I don't care about bias at NPR so much, that was not really my point. He should not have been fired. He is a good man, a good liberal. I have no problem with what he said that got him fired. I watched that episode live, BTW, and I thought nothing of it at the time. He's right!

If we don't stand up for our rights, then pretty soon we won't be able to open our mouths at all with-out the thought police tapping us on the shoulder and hauling us into the klink. Political correctness was just a very bad idea, and now it is out of control. What little good comes from it is far out-weighed by the harm it does. It's sad that Academia, the institution that is most entrusted to defend our rights, and promote diversity of thought, is the most hostile to free expression and diversity of thought. Look up Juan Williams and the numerous abuses of NPR. There's a conspiracy for all the nut-jobs who love to trash private enterprise and commercial enterprise. Read about the foibles of NPR in the last few years.
Juan Williams was fired from NPR for appearing on The O'Riley Factor and saying "Look, Bill, I'm not a bigot. You know the kind of books I've written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous."
NPR released a statement saying that his comments were "inconsistent with our editorial standards and practices, and undermined his credibility as a news analyst with NPR."
If you are referring to claims of bias, those have come in from both sides. There have been a little bit of adjustment in the upper management in an attempted to enforce impartiality, but by and large the only people that still scream bias are the people on the outsides of each group. 45 seconds on a highly cited Wikipedia page brought up this little gem. Surveys and follow-up focus groups conducted by the Tarrance Group and Lake Snell Perry & Associates have indicated that, "The majority of the U.S. adult population does not believe that the news and information programming on public broadcasting is biased. The plurality of Americans indicate that there is no apparent bias one way or the other, while approximately one-in-five detect a liberal bias and approximately one-in-ten detect a conservative bias."
How is it that Academia has shown hostile to "free expression and diversity of thought"? Free expression can be taken too far if it slanders someone or contains factual inaccuracies. How has Academia negatively impacted diversity of thought? That's kinda running counter to the whole point of academic studies.
As for your comment on political correctness, I actually kinda agree. Political correctness can be (and frequently is) taken too far. However, there is no way to enforce a common sense way of communicating so there have to have been some rules created. As I said before, free expression can be taken to an extreme and can infringe on my rights not to be publicly mocked or singled out due to some kind of difference.
Yes, good music always ages well. Hope your situation gets better soon.
Give me a break. Let's go back and change history. I went to Florence Italy and asked them to cover up the statue of David.
Don't like the cover, close your eyes and listen to the great song.
As for David, he'd only need an itty bitty little cover-up.
Nice Monday Morning Song, Thanks Bill !
...that's really sad to think about; how stifled expression has become...
