I think you were not really into this song, Dani (is the name correct? Apoligies if not), and I understand that. I think it took me 20 years of regular playing to really notice this song myself. It's not the kind of song you play every day, is it? And yet, I think now, maybe 53 years after I first heard it, it's one of, if not THE most iconic, unique song Neil has ever penned and performed. It simply oozes pathos. But you certainly got the violin contribution - it's that which is the final, brilliant inclusion by Neil, and it tops this song out. I don't believe it's just about the Rockets. It's about Neil realising he's used women. He says it's about the Rockets, but he sings: I left my love with ribbons on, and water in her eyes. It's an analogy. He continues: My cruelty has punctured me ... And now, I'm runnin' dry I've never, in years of reading Neilites talking (including on the old Rust list) read of anyone who picked up on this line. I think it's a line Shakespeare would have been proud of. Neil is not everyone's choice, and this song is not every Neil fan's favourite. Not at all. It's not Old Man, or Tell me Why or Thrasher or Keep on Rockin' in the Free World. But keep listening ... and maybe in a year or two you may get it (faster than I did).
thanks for the comment. if you check the upload date you can see we are already in the future you talked about :) with that in mind, I ended up loving Neil's music so much. one of the highlight artists that I have discovered through the channel
Best post-punk band and album ever. This is the soundtrack to end stage capitalism, over 40 years too early. Spare me the weaksauc And spare me the critiques and allusions to Pink Floyd in the comments🤣
Google says 96% liked this album.
What the?? You’ve never heard Bob Dylan before and we are supposed to sit here and watch you touch your hair and then bob your head and then say at the end you liked it. Where have you been? Why would anybody care what you think listening to Bob Dylan were the first time in 2024? as opposed to anyone else? And you want people to pay money to you for this??? For what? This is KZread at its worst- buy a microphone and headphones, and hope that people will come and listen to you when you have absolutely nothing of any interest to say about it?
😅 I understand your confusion and frustration. My channel is more of a video diary, in a sence that I am going through a jounrey of discovering new artistis, albums and songs. deep dive. followers go through this with me daily, and it's more about realtime experience than seeing this video a year after I did it. having said that, I would prefered if I could find a way to make my content more evergreen, but still stay true to my goal.
This would make a crazy fun movie or cartoon. “I asked him what his name was and why he didn’t drive a truck.” This song cracks me up every time I hear it.
😁😁 I love it too! thanks for stopping by!
He was very refreshing when he first came out, it was a very noticeable at that time.
Sends chills actually
I've seen a great many reaction you tube folks (95% just trash) and I really like what you do Mr. Man. Subscribed and will definitely follow.
thank you so much for your feedback :) any albums you want me to check?
You should know the history of the period...THIS IS NOT A BRITISHY INVASION RECORD
This is 100% American group and not very influenced by the British
thanks, I did not know that back when I recorded this :)
If you'd like to hear the origins of this song, take a look here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z4SXx9dpaZu3lNY.html The final version of this medley is the best IMO (better than the album version).
Taj and Ras Austin (brothers) are two rappers from the rap group Coast Contra. They’re 4 guys who are all top tier emcees.
Little Feat album “Sam’s Place’ song: Milkman’ you’ll thank me later
thanks, I'll put it on the list
Check out their contemporaries "The Electric Flag" featuring Mike Bloomfield . They do wicked" Killing Floor."
thanks
PUT some effing lyrics on the screen LIKE EVERY OTHER REVIEW ON YT DID. So sick of incompetent YT creators.
thanks for the suggestion. I tried that with some Dylan records, but I had some technical issues with recording (sync issues, low framerate etc) so I ditch it. Maybe I'll explore alternatives
Choosing some great songs sir.
You should check out Pere Ubu's debut album '.The Modern Dance'. It's a masterpiece and I think you'll like it based on your previous videos
thanks, I'll have a look
Believe that's John Sebastian from The Loving Spoonful on the harmonica at the end.
Yessir, great reaction.. Bob is the G O A T.not those sports guys!! "Shakespeare with a guitar".. ..do HURRICANE.. Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts... Hard Rain.. Black Diamond Bay.. Hollis Brown.. .. Hattie Carroll... etc .lol..my boy has hundreds!!
thanks for stopping by!
this was the song that my wife and I had our first dance at our wedding - 40 years this fall. Still love this song very much!
Money for Nothing, Walk of Life. then you get horror on the Flip Side. Just Apocsplyse NOW level horror. I loved the flip side of Brothers in Arms. The Front side was all about how shallow the MTV generation was. The Flip side. OMG. You like the song but you have no idea what it's about. Whew. I am old. I had this album on casset when it was released. The Flip side blew me way... Unlike so much popular music this one is about the content. You have two opposing relevancis going on. One, The shallow self centered world of MTV and Pro Athletes, etc. Then you get the flip side of War and terror. Yet they are all things that were happening in the context of The Cold War when the world was staring nuclear Armageddon on a daily basis. In this song there are TWO voices, two characters. First you have "The Man" (who is too strong). Second you have the singer, the teller of the tale. The Singer is horrified. This "Stong Man" is sitting in his cell facing execution and this terrible human being is laughing at God! "Father Please Help Me For I have done wrong, is a sarcastic rejoineder. He feels no guilt. The Singer records his story. The Man is recounting, not his crimes, but his greatest successes! All those terrible ACTS, and he is "taking credit" for them, not apologizing! The confessor, "Father" is to him a laughable buffoon. Each Verse follows with the chorus, which is the Singer, terrified of The Man, staring in horror at "The Man whose too big, The man who is too Strong". Notice how the contraction when spelled out works. The Singer is mesmerized by the horror behind so much strength so much "grandure" And you finally get it in the last verse. The Man doesn't care that he is going to die. He's done his deeds for whatever beliefs he has. He has had his victories, and he is content with one last taunt. "The sun rose on the courtyard and all did hear him say." says the Singer. Then The Man finishes, "You always was a Judas." ( The man says to the Judge ) " But I gotch you anyway. You many have got your Silver! But, I swear upon my Life. Your Sister gave me diamonds, And I givem to your wife." That one last terrible terrible gloat of his last most personal triumph. And he finishes with that last phony cynical plea, "Oh Father, please helm for I have done wrong, ..." He isn't begging forgiveness. He is laughing at God and Satan as well. The Man's too Big is a Cold War Horror Story.
My first Stones album.... ♥♥♥♥♥
This is peak Stones -fantastic album. This is my favourite Rock song.
The album of a lifetime...
Como posso ouvir a música de Bob Dylan negro amor, sou apaixonada por essa música
Thanks for doing one of my favourite Dire Straits songs. This song helped me through so many tough times.
you're welcome. In fact, I did the whole album. thanks for stopping by
YOUNG DOESNT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS TRACK. ALL STILLS. READ!!!
cool
😊
I like the fact that you let the song play w/o interrupting it every 10 seconds. Grew up with this in the 70's, one of my favorite SD cuts.
thank you :) hope to see you around
Deny you don't get it.
I'm open to learn
The variety of the GOAT. Unmatched.
one of my favorite Live songs
Both songs are great The Stones made 4 great records: 1968 Beggars Banquet 1969 Let It Bleed 1971 Sticky Fingers 1972 Exile on Main St My opinion, the rest is well, to bad
true
Salt of the Earth.... this one I love
Love Bruce❤
thanks for stopping by! which albums are your favorite?
I have been looking for reactions to this song for some years now, and suggested it in the comments to various reactors, without much luck. So I was very glad to find this one. You obviously enjoyed the song while listening, I am just slightly disappointed that you didn't reflect more on the song itself afterwards, but instead chose to reminisce about a Kroatian cover/ripoff and whatnot. I usually mostly watch reactions to ELO, and it would be interesting to see your reaction to ELO. But although ELO has similar songs, _Why Worry_ is a very special song to me. It's a love song, but it's also a "healing" song. I like to sing along, however it's a bit hard to do while crying at the same time. The two verses are short, but the lyrics say enough - all that needs to be said, and I just love the very gentle, toned down way Knopfler sings it. It's a song I would want to sing to the woman I loved, if she was sad, hurt or upset. The instrumental rest to me symbolises the hug or embrace after the necessary soothing words have been said. It's as if Knopfler is playing on my "heart strings" relieving the tension and pain slowly, making me relax and calm, with a warm and fuzzy feeling inside. I am not "alternative" or religious in any way, but I think the song is magic - not a supernatural magic, but the "ordinary" everyday kind of magic that comes from goodheartedness, caring and loving. The humble optimism in the idea that love and kindness will always prevail and see us through hardship. "And all the rest is by the way" - nothing else really matters much. It's the kind of love and (com)passion that can endure the hardest challenges life gives you, and even transcend death, without being religious in any way. ❤
thanks for sharing the story, and for stopping by. I react to albums, song by song. I do my best to comment what I notice, which is not the standard format that similar channels do. this is more of a video diary of me.discovering new music, and learning from the viewers about the music and bands I listen to.
Prodigal Son was written by Rev. Robert Wilkins
5 / 5 Chef d' œuvre !
I’m so glad that when Richard converted to Islam, he didn’t stop playing for long (only 3 years) like Cat Stevens did. He has kept on making great music.
I'm a big fan of country/blues Stones, it's why I love this album so much. On another note, I hope you do their live album "Get Yer Ya Yas Out" at some point. I think you'll love it.
thanks, I'll check it out
I love this album.
Nicky Hopkins' piano during the outro is glorious. Sorry you didn't like it. Each to our own. I think it's a stone cold classic. Maybe it's just the Stones aren't to your taste. This album set their template from then on. The follow up album Let It Bleed is very similar in style and structure, with the only notable difference being there is not quite as many acoustic guitar parts on it.
It needs more listens. It has a lot of character, I'll give it that for now
I covered Let it Bleed already :)
@@deepdivemusicreactions Sorry I missed that one. What did you think of it?
@deepdivemusicreactions It will grow on you. Better to listen to it in one sitting I think. Gives the album more flow.
I get a bit of overdue Dylan influence on Jigsaw Puzzle. For more "rough' albums from 1968, definitely try, The Beatles (White Album) and you could do 4 reactions, as there are 4 sides, as opposed to song by song! Janis Joplin (Big Brother & The Holding Company) released a live album called, Cheap Thrills, and it's "rough" to say the least, and hit #1 on the album charts. Delaney & Bonnie released their debut, recorded in 1968.....and they influenced everyone (Clapton, George Harrison and Duane Allman were all getting involved) and Joe Cocker- Mad Dogs and Englishmen album also was hugely popular album and he used Delaney & Bonnie's band for the tour which was essentially, The Dominos, of Derek & The Dominos fame......plus Leon Russell.......another "rough" character worth exploring haha.
As I mentioned earlier, I still believe you should deep dive “Satanic Majesties” at least once to experience its weirdness and to put “Beggars Banquet” into a better perspective. They desperately needed to get their bad boy reputation back. This album and “Let It Bleed” were difficult to make with Brian Jones falling apart. You can see it if you ever watch 1968’s “Rock ‘n’ Roll Circus”, which they shelved for 30 years because they were mostly upstaged by everyone else on the bill. As for “Satanic Majesties”, I’d suggest pairing the first two and next two tracks on side one when listening as they each run together without a break; with a brief (if silly) segue between tracks three and four. The rest of the tracks on the album can be listened to individually. Again, there are some really good songs here, even though much of the album is (self confessed) stoned silliness. Hope you’re enjoying your break.
Well done. Epic LP!!
Released a few weeks after The Beatles (White Album).....it shares a looseness and eclecticism that I still find refreshing. The lyrics for Stray Cat were pretty shocking for 1968!!
love Factory Girl, huge fan of this album. I think it might grow on you,
I didn't care for this album on first listen, the same with Music From Big Pink by The Band. It took repeated listening for me to consider both two of my all time favorite rock albums. Of course this was when the albums first came out and in your case, with all the music you haven't heard ahead of you to react to, I can understand any reluctance to revisit it. As for unexpected and under rated Stone's albums, I'd suggest deep diving into Their Satanic Majesties Request, the album recorded before this. I think I mentioned earlier it was released around the time of Sgt. Pepper and was very experimental and psychedelic. It's awesome and the song, 2000 Light Years From Home, I think inspired many many bands.
I agree with you about The Satanic Majesties.. lots of new sound that was influencial, however I'm not as fond of that album as you are, a lot of songs on that album are acoustically driven Folk and Blues, as well as of course a Middle Eastern style music, and then there's the song Lantern which has some Country elements along with Folk and Blues. I don't find the album electrically psychedelic, but more acoustically psychedelic for the most part. The album has excellent production quality, one of the best in The Stones catalog imo. The very last song, which I can't remember the name of, is very Beatles sounding and I can see it's influence on some of Pink Floyd's 70s music.
The thing that I don't like about Majesties is that The Stones vocally try to sound like The Beatles, The Animals and The Zombies on most of the tracks. Musically I love the album, if Mick had done his own thing vocally it would have been a better album. The name of the album and the album cover killed it commercially. Richards has always hated the album.
I will give it another shot
Salt Of The Earth is basically Dylan for the most part, Blonde on Blonde and Highway 61. Factory Girl I put on repeat 3 times because it's a 6 minute song for me, love it. I appreciate your honesty. I think The Stones funkier music starting with Goats Head Soup would be your taste. The Stones remain more of a Funk, R&B and Rock band throughout the rest of their catalog after 1973. The Stones also have a lot Protopunk elements in their albums after 1973. They don't revisit straight up Country and Blues at all really like they did from Beggars to Exile, the only song I can really think of where they do that is Far Away Eyes which is musically straight up Country with tongue-in-cheek vocals and lyrics from Jagger. Thanks for checking out Beggars.
thanks alpha. I'll check more Stones for sure
It might sound weird, but out of all the Stones' great songs Factory Girl is my favorite. I appreciate your honesty in reviewing this album, even though I love Beggar's Banquet (maybe because I'm a huge Dylan fan).
Love Factory Girl also. This album has a lot of Dylan influence on it. A lot of artists took a hard turn from sounding like the Beatles and Psychedelic Rock and more toward Americana starting in 68' (Country, Blues and early Rock N Roll 55'-62'), the whole summer of love thing lasted longer commercially in fashion, TV, movies and other pop culture than it actually did in music.
