There's an old superstition that if you put a lit candle in the window when a family member sets out on a journey, they will certainly come home again if the candle is never allowed to go out. Candle can be replaced if necessary. I interpret this song as referring to a traveller maybe a soldier in Vietnam longing to get home.

To those of us in the military at the time this came out it meant coming home from the war, it meant you survived.

The light is Jesus. He won’t lose his way, as long as he can see the light (Jesus)

John Fogerty also plays the incredible sax solo on this song

I grew up on the great music of the 60's-70's. CCR has always been one of my favorites. They don't have a bad song! John Fogerty has one of the most unique & recognizable voices around. All their songs are great - "Proud Mary", "Born On The Bayou", "Bad Moon Rising", "Lodi", "Green River", "Commotion", "Night Time Is The Right Time", "Down On The Corner", "Fortunate Son", "Cotton Fields", "Midnight Special", "Travelin' Band", "Who'll Stop The Rain", "Up Around the Bend", "Run Through The Jungle", "Lookin' Out My Back Door", "Long As I Can See the Light", "Suzie Q", "I Heard It Through The Grapevine", "I Put A Spell On You", "Sweet Hitch-Hiker" etc.

and 1 of my favs ... "SomeDay Never Comes"

dunno why this song isn't more well known

John Fogherty’s voice is collard greens (lots of pot liquor) turkey necks and cornbread!!!! Pure soul food for the ears

Unmistakable voice, great song - the golden era of CCR.

Love CCR music and John Fogarty's incredible vocals ❤

At one point CCR was considered the best Rock band in the world. Such amazing talent. Raw, powerful, soulful, amazing ! I always thought it was unique that there true musical influences and style could not have been further away from the part of the country where they lived and grew up which was the Bay Area of San Francisco. Regardless of how it came about, we can just give our thanks to god above for the gift of these amazing artists and the music.

An absolute killer Blues. From memory it was one of CCR's last recordings and written about Fogarty's desire to get home after a tour, and the draw to get back on the road

CCR's best tune! You and John are soul bros! Great breakdown and commentary.

Absolutely love Creedence ♥️🇨🇦♥️

He has a saxophone reed stuck in his throat. I know it makes no sense but it's the only way I can describe his voice. It's so distinctive. And then here comes the sax just to solidify my point. That sound Lodi and a few others. And most of John's solo stuff I could listen to in repeat for the rest of my life.

Love CCR🇦🇺

Gotta love ccr. Great music

Greatest front man in the business

one of my all time faves!!!..barnesy does a great cover of this as well!...great song

Music that makes ya FEEL!!!

Cut my teeth listening to this song . Brother you can sing just like John Fogherty because I've heard you ! People go watch a few of his videos and then tell him the same thing I told him . Brother's got a voice to be reckoned with . He's good ! Very good 👍

Oh…CCR is one of my favorite sing-a-long bands! Doesn’t get much better.

This is my favorite CCR song!!!

Cold Chisel do a great version of this song on the live Swingshift album 👍👍👌👌🇦🇺🇦🇺

Love your reaction to the wonderful voice of John Fogarty.

I have gone off CCR for some reason, but this is literally one of my first loves in music. And Lookin Out My Back Door.

I love CCR. This one may never have been one of their big hits, but it is absolutely my favorite song by them. It is just so beautiful, and John Fogerty's voice was perfect. I could listen to this one on repeat for hours! Glad you liked it. Going to search now to see if you ever did a video singing it like you mentioned.

My favourite CCR song… 😁👍

Another great Aussie band, na just kidding but they got the soul that I grew up on from a baby in Australia, always in in my heart Credence Clearwater

Love CCR. Never knew who they were, just loved their music. Always thought they were inspired by Motown (since they covered Heard it Through the Grapevine, Proud Mary and others).. but then again they had their own 'sound'... Suzie Q, Bad Moon Rising.. were all 'theirs'...and they were so so talented. I never knew why they quit making music...

This song and pictures sends me back when my parents waa alive and my aunts, uncle's was too. My children was small and laughter was in the house, I was blessed and my memories are sweet. Thank you for that beautiful song.

“Vocal Squall” Yes! ❤❤❤

Love to hear. Creedance Clearwater Revival OR CCR as they are also called

CCR brought me here but from that lil bit I heard, I wanna hear you sing. I'm subscribing , you better sing brother for all us people that can't

Shit boy! I didn't know u have Creedence reactions on ur channel!! This is one of my absolute favorite songs by them!! John Fogerty has one of my all time favorite voices!! I'm gona have to throw u some songs from his solo albums!!

I think of the Civil war with the candle in the window... Candles and or oil lamps is all there was then... ✌️

I’m late seeing this and who knows if you’ll see this comment. The context for this song is the Vietnam War and many a soldier’s family had a light in the window waiting for a safe return home.

The 60-90s had the most amazing music!

If push comes to shove, this is the greatest Creedence tune for me.

This song is crazy good. Also love the Cold Chisel cover from the Swingshift tour

Beautiful. Cold Chisel does a version of this too.

You better go check out Someday Never Comes. One of their best!

Hi from indonesia 🇮🇩 love ccr

Stellar song. I think it’s the last track on Cosmo’s Factory.

❤CCR

Nick, this is Boyd. Man I was so pumped when you messaged me "Ha Ha, my mother doesn't like the camera,.. I'm doing it now". I stayed up as late as I could waiting for the post but conked out. So juiced you reacted to it.

I always thought putting a candle in the window was a welcome sign for weary traveller's, a safe space.

I had a similar take. I always viewed it as a story of life, of society. We are born in to this beautiful, perfect world. As we grow we are set out in the world and we lose our way, sometimes we stumble through the darkness. But as long as that light is there to guide us back to a place of good, we will always find our way. Long as I can see the light.

A Touch of Paradise john Farnham , have you done this? its 1 of his best

I love CCR. I have heard other reactors compare Jimmy Barnes to John Fogarty. I never saw that until I heard the Cold Chisel version of this song just recently. It was released on their album called Covered in 2011. Jimmy's vocals stuck to the original and were mighty fine, but it's the band that blows CCR out of the water for me.

We dont need yu to belt it out,just a stoppage at the right opportunity,and then your very good reactions

Now you need to listen to the Cold Chisel version

I have this on the New Boots And Panties EP. It's a cover of my favourite CCR track. Great vocals by Jimmy.

I grew up to CCR. My parents had a record player that would hold multiple records. I heard everything from Willie Nelson to ABBA. CCR has always stuck in my brain. Lynyrd Skynyrd would be another great one to check out. I would start with the older stuff first.

Hi from New Zealand 🇳🇿. Have always loved this song.. but also Cold Chisels version of this song is truly amazing. I think John Forgery and Jimmy Barnes had similar voices

There wasn't a time in my life where CCR wasn't in it. I love their music. It's hard to pick a favourite of theirs but this one comes pretty close. Great reaction. Thanks ✌

if you had a shot bro... you would definitely bring it.

Jon Fogerty imo is Americas Jimmy Barnes and CCR is their Cold Chisel. I love CCR. Such good music.

Some believe that it is a Soldier anticipating returning from the Vietnam War.

The Cold Chisel version has a little more edge to it but Chisel were in their element performing live.

Hi, I've seen you reaction after Pavlov's Dog's Julia. Nice :). Try Jan Akkerman from group Focus with the song called Hocus-Pocus. You'll be surprised. :)

Got this tatted on me for my dad

You gotta pick up smoking so you can start your CCR cover band haha

Check this video out , Toby Keith - Who's Your Daddy?

Hey I think releasing like 5 albums in like 3 yrs all of them hit platinum sells or some shit like that love CCR & John much love grew up on that shit LMFAO 😂😂😂
