Got to get back to my baby again

Listen Mister, can't you see I got to get back to my baby once mo'

Listen Mister, can't you see I got to get back to my baby once mo'
Anyway, yeah
Give me a ticket for an aeroplane
Ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone, I'm a goin' home
My baby has just wrote me a letter

@@PatrickPierceBateman 😄 Yeah I'm sure you would have to smoke that many to get the Bob Dylan effect going on. The fact the singer was only 16 wouldn't leave him much time to develop a smoky voice by well.. smoking a lot lol. I think he just hit puberty earlier than some and naturally had the voice. He likely just imitated what he was hearing from older blues and R&B singers of the time.

Around 1970 or so (I was 12 then), I bought a bunch of single records dirt cheap at a sort of yard sale from someone down the street from me. This was one of them, and I loved it, and played it a lot. One day my mom accidentally sat on the records that were lying on my bed. I won't put "accidentally" in quotes there, because I love her. But music has a strange way of affecting people. Some feel threatened by it when it's foreign to them. I want my kids to know that when they hear music pumping from the basement or from wherever I am, that's a good thing, that everything is good and right. Rock in Perpetuity (i.e.RIP).

Not everyone knows the lyrics, not everyone has good hearing and not everyone knows they can look up the lyrics on the Interweb-net-thingy. Anyway, when you read the words you can hear them in your "mind's ear", so you just want to write them down when the song's that good, you just want to share the moment. I get it. I particularly like the trombone short sharp bits and raspy longer one squeezed out and growing in volume on the words “fast train” which adds gravitas, urgency and all that good stuff. It's what I look forward to in this piece. It's so... ...period, so gritty, so 60's and 70's, one can almost smell the lead in the car fume pollution, smell the sidewalk hot-dogs and feel the warm, orange glow of shallow sun rays glancing through an urban, American landscape.

The bluesy tune and so down to earth lyrics had a huge impact on teenage boys living in England at the time of its release.

One of the songs we can always remember the words..great music! We had the best music in the late 60's, 70's and a bit in the 80's!

I love this music and my parents never showed it to me! I skimmed across this song myself and i love it. Im 16!

I particularly like the short, sharp, squelchy trombone bits and raspy longer one squeezed out with the first letter of each main word, etc. It's the business! 😝
