"Going down for the last time" is from a mistaken belief that a drowning person always surfaces three times before finally "going down for the last time." Metaphorically, it means being on the edge of failure, helpless unless a rescuer comes along. You don't hear the expression much anymore but it was well-known in my youth.

@bizwest21 Год назад

I think Hank Williams said it as, "I'm goin' down three times, but Lord I'm only comin' up twice". Same idea

@chrino21 Год назад

Exactly - I think sometimes you’d also hear “I’m going down for the third time”.

@estoy1001 Год назад

You also see it in old Warner Brothers cartoons, where a drowning character puts a hand up out of water & counts to three on their fingers.

Our hero in the song is falling in love with a woman who is supposed to be nothing more than the occasional multitude of one night stands (Her love is better than a line of coke). The band I was in, in 1982 was ending our third set in a club in Billings, Montana (I was 18 at the time) when all the members of Head East, along with their friends walked in and sat down. They were playing a gig in town and showed up afterwards. Thankfully for me, I didn't know it was them until after the last set. They all stayed so, I guess we couldn't have been too bad.

@Gekokujo76 Год назад

My uncle and namesake saw that Head East concert in Missoula. He enjoyed it after not seeing a show in a while...as a result, he bought concert tickets for his son not long after that....sending him to see Beastie Boys (open for Madonna) in Missoula when that rolled through. My cousin was only a couple of years older than I was, and came home from seeing Madonna and Beastie Boys as a man. His stories of seeing Madonna in lingerie and the Beasties having a huge inflatable penis on stage were just the things to pique our interest in music.....and it all started from his dad reconnecting with concerts by Head East gracing Missoula with a rare-ish show at the time.

@completecharleston7142 Год назад

Sounds like great memories! In the early 80s, while living in Fargo, ND, Head East played at a popular teen hangout (Vagts Barn - literally a barn that was fixed up to have dances / bands) in Breckenridge, MN), a venue our band also played at many times. The owner told us we (The Jessica Band) had the largest crowd ever there on one particular occasion, around 1500 kids. Anyway, they needed some extra equipment for their event, so Mr. Vagts had them call me and I rented out some monitor speakers and a couple other things. At that time, I think it was just the bass guitarist who was an 'original' member, but they were pretty good - I hung out with the sound tech for a while. My coolest experience of the time, tho, was when our band opened up for Black Oak Arkansas 3 nights at the 4-10 Bar and Lounge in Fargo, and they rented my kick ass sound system, and I ran sound for them as well. Jim Dandy and Ricky Reynolds were the 2 original members there, but the guitarist and drummer kicked some major butt - they were really good.

John Schlitt went on to be one of the most beloved singers of the Christian band Petra. He continues to sing with them as well as Union of Sinners and Saints, Jay Sekulow Band as well as solo stuff too

@Jessica_Roth Год назад

Ironically, lead singer John Schlitt (the guy singing the second part; the first singer is the drummer, Steve Huston) was eventually fired from the band for drug abuse. He cleaned up and ended up singing for a Christian group, Petra. Mike Somerville may have written the song, but he spread the wealth around: vocals for Huston and Schlitt, a solo for bassist Dan Birney, and Roger Boyd gets to play with his mini-Moog synthesizer. (Allegedly, the sound we hear is because Boyd recorded the synth part twice and accidentally left both in the mix, and the band liked it that way.) Other songs: "Gettin' Lucky", "Jefftown Creek", their cover of Rick Springfield's "Take a Hand", the cover of Russ Ballard's "Since You Been Gone", and "Don't Let Me Sleep in the Morning", just for starters. Hugely underrated band. (I'd barely heard of them before I started following reactors. Now I'm the Little Expert, lmao.)

I've been involved in concert promotions in Ireland for many years and worked with PETRA on 4 occasions and with their lead singer John Schlitt on a solo tour, John is the lead singer here with Headeast and is one of the nicest people in music. He was a cocaine addict and contemplated suicide and as someone said his wife saved him from "going down for the last time" more accurately she took him to see her Pastor and he became a Christian and the rest is history

@CANDOKNOWHOW Год назад

YESSSS!!! I’ve tried to suggest it SEVERAL TIMES to a few different reacters but no one ever latches onto to and gives it a try. 🤷 “Don’t Misunderstand Me” is the exact song I always pair this tune with on the jukebox at the bar, and the very thing I dropped down here in the comments to suggest. It pairs really well with this tune in sound and style, but as a duet really shines with the male and female vocalists singing to each other. When I was a young teen in the early 80’s I once saw a couple drinking beer in a local bar/grill out this on the juke box and the dance and sing it to each other, and it was as if no one else were in the room. After they left people were commenting on how cool it was, and how much IN LOVE ❤❤❤ they were.. there was a consensus they were likely gonna hurry home to make another baby together! 😂

@randytorres8211 Год назад

This was written by Mike Somerville, who was the band's lead guitarist from 1973-1980, and again from 1994-2003. The song is about a guy who returns home - possibly from a tour - and has it out with his woman. The band formed in southern Illinois in 1969 but went through a number of member changes before arriving at their core lineup in 1973. They honed their craft playing colleges and clubs in the midwest, which is where they developed "Never Been Any Reason." According to lead singer John Schlitt, they would sometimes introduce it as a song by Three Dog Night because club owners didn't want them playing original songs. This song, along with the rest of Head East's debut album, was recorded at Golden Voice Recording, a tiny studio in Mike Somerville's hometown of South Pekin, Illinois. Instead of making a demo and pitching it to record companies, they just made the Flat As A Pancake album and released it independently on their own Pyramid Records label in 1974. They produced it themselves, keeping it simple and faithful to the arrangements they honed from playing the songs on the road. When they were done recording, they had 2,000 vinyl copies pressed and sent one to every radio station and promoter in the area they thought might be interested. They ploy worked; "Never Been Any Reason" earned airplay on KSHE in St. Louis and Y-102 in Kansas City, leading to a deal with A&M Records, who signed the band and re-released the album in June 1975. >> Head East charted higher with their next single, "Love Me Tonight," which made #54 US, but "Never Been Any Reason" is by far their most popular song, showing incredible endurance.

@richardhillebrand5353 Год назад

The 1974 Flat as a pancake there was only 5000 vinyl pressing and 500 8 tracks! then in 1975 A&M Records signed the band & Re-Recorded Flat as a pancake the difference between the 74 Release & the 75 Release is the covers and side 1 on the A&M Release is on Side 2 on the 1974 release! Have them both!

@petepotaczek5844 Год назад

Mike Sommerville was my buddy! Such a sweet, humble musical genius , guitarist and human being. He passed into rock n roll heaven two years ago and it set me off of the deep end.

Head East was one of the most underrated bands of the '70s and John Schlitz voice was part of it but of course he later went on to be the lead singer of Petra a Christian rock band and took them from playing little Avenues to Major Arenas worldwide they went from this okay to really kick ass and heavier

@friedemannkemm63 Год назад

John was actually thrown out of head east due to the effects his drug addiction had on him. He reports that at this time, his wife had already become a born again Christian and persuaded him to see the pastor instead of committing suicide. That saved his life. After that, he worked at a normal day job for some years, before he was asked to join Petra.

The song refers to a soldier who’s going back to a second Vietnam tour, hence the lines “Did you see any action/Did you make any friends?” He feels he may not return (“Save my life, I’m going down for the last time”), so he reasons that “It could bring a good feeling I ain’t had in such a long time”; therefore, he accepts the woman’s proposition.

Back in the 70's this song came out about the time people were noticing something was not right with some (not all) of the troops coming back from Vietnam. Violent outbursts, refusal to talk about what happened, heroin addiction, emotional distance from friends & family, suicides - stuff never talked about in public before. It very well may have been written about the lead singer's battle with drugs, but read the lyrics and you'll know why it resonated with returning vets & families, especially the wives & mothers dealing with addiction.

You know what I hate is when people interrupt the continuity of the song to throw in their comments! Let the song play for crying out loud you can always comment afterward! You blow it for your listeners when you interrupt the song the song needs no interruption it has its own speed strength and continuity and you two should learn from it! 😠🚨

No it's about a man who had a drug addiction problem and if someone doesn't intervene he's going down for the last time! 🙏🎆🚨 Has nothing to do with crime!

Head East came from near the St. Louis area (well, closer than to other cities anyway - we claimed them 😅). This used to be a staple on local K-SHE 95 radio. I think he just means she oughta be his girl and is being dramatic about asking.

Got to see them in concert in college in the early 70s so was a great show, went out and bought Flat as a Pancake album and still have it. Great album, would put it on getting ready to party back in the 80s, LOL...great memories. They had one of those keyboard guitars too which was unusual back then as well. I believe they are still performing. Also had a keyboard synthesizer that could be strapped on and played.

He's the musician returning from a rock tour (and the associated self-destructive lifestyle) and she's the girl back home who is not part of that life.

@shelbys6572 Год назад

Headeast is fantastic! Off Flat as a Pancake Album. He's talking about a girl who doesn't love him but he's in love. He said you never gave me a reason to think about you. He said that meaning she never loved him anyway

This got sooooo much radio play when I was young. I don't know if it was a DJs fav or if it really got requested that much, but it was excessive where I lived.

Great choice doing some Head East!.. They have some more excellent tunes, "Love Me Tonight ", "Lovin' Me Along", "Since You've Been Gone", and "Open Up The Door".. thanks.

@davidogg5269 Год назад

"Jefftown Creek" is another banger by Head East, a coming of age story from the Flat as a Pancake album. Also, "Get Up and Enjoy Yourself" is another great Head East tune that will get your toes tappin'.

I am a retired dj. The first time I heard this song, I thought damn that is pure Southern rock &roll. I actually thought a female was singing the 2nd. Lead. I was shocked when I found out John Schlitt was singing the whole song. It made me think of David Lee Roth, Robert Plant, etc. Still it is great to hear!

@michaelhammond4957 Год назад

Head East is a band you want to hear live, their self titled live album will blow your mind, same songs but so much better!

Loved this song when I was a teenager although we used to change the lyrics. Save = Shave. Life = Wife.
