My god that man's baritone voice just takes me places far away from earth. One of my favorite PJ songs and I love it even more with just his voice in isolation.
HOLY F#%^* SHIT!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!! I’ve listened to this song record version n 150 different live versions about 5,000x in 30 years? N this just blew me away lije hearing for the first time or something. Idk , I’m sitting hear watery eyed Cus my dad had passed suddenly from a heart attack few years ago-So for first 20 yrs I listened for the pure awesomeness and masterpiece that the song was- last few yrs I relate on a personal level- So to hear this original , young Ed with that roar 🦁 but coated with raspy soft subtleties , and his emotions. Just AMAZING!! He’s the best singer in rock history. His range n different styles/ deliveries are SO UNDERRATED it’s frustrating and criminal. Just Cus some clowns came shortly after finding their voice by copying his one style all the stuff he does they don’t n couldn’t do gets overlooked. Like his Do The Evolution delivery or Given to Fly to go with like Indifference n Not 4 You.. To like the Fixer n his Love Reign’Oer Me cover.. To the solo stuff. The warm campfire , folk delivery. Now the one constant on each and every delivery style is the EMOTION he sings with. Like you know he’s TRULY feeling in his soul what he’s singing!!
After my father passed away this song took on a whole different meaning to me as well. It always brings me to tears but I also take so much comfort from it
Thanks for the video ooh...oh...oh... I see the world, feel the chill Which way to go, windowsill I see the world's on a rocking horse of time I see the birds in the rain Oh, dear dad, can you see me now I am myself, like you somehow I'll ride the wave where it takes me I'll hold the pain...release me... Oh, dear dad, can you see me now I am myself, like you somehow I'll wait up in the dark for you to speak to me I'll open up...release me...
