Blood, Sweat & Tears Lyrics

    ------ About the song Lucretia MacEvil performed by Blood, Sweat & Tears

I realize it's been almost 2 years since you posted your blog. I was looking up the words to this song (since I also love it) and saw your message. I don't know you, but it touched me that you were struggling with cancer. This message may go nowhere, but I'm having a very rough day and just wanted to reach out to someone else. I hope you're well. If not, I know you're missed. You sound like the kind of guy that people would miss.

    ------ About the song I Was A Witness To A War performed by Blood, Sweat & Tears

Such a heartfelt emotional/intellectual and evocative disection of the 'monument to modern man', as the song puts it. These people who aren't much different than many of those who, for whatever reason fell into line of war projenitors before them.

    ------ About the song I'll Love You More Than You'll Ever Know performed by Blood, Sweat & Tears

I was listening to a Marc Broussard "cover" of this Al Kooper song (I Love You More than You'll Ever Know) and after hearing Marc's beautiful rendition I just "had to" go retrieve Al's original version from the Blood Sweat and Tears album (Child Is Father To The Man)and am I glad I did...the song itself, the studio performance, the musicianship and the unmatched production quality makes it a song that simply "never gets old".....hooray for Al Kooper, Blood Sweat & Tears and (of course)the other numerous musical contemporaries that shared the stages during what I'm sure will go down as the greatest period in songwriting history...Mr. Kooper is a national treasure...so, thank-you Al...

    ------ About the song Lucretia MacEvil performed by Blood, Sweat & Tears

But heck, I am 71 now and I still love the 70's music,
taken in the whole of that year, better than any other
year's music production. I thought that my preference
may have been (and still is)influenced by the $3000 JVC
system I bought at that time (along with a Corvette)when
I discovered that I still had some money left after my
first divorce (from a wonderful gal.. go figure). But I
am digressing, I know. Dunno why on this particular forum.

I now have the full 1970's music - my favorites, that is -
but too much of it was dnlded via imperfect P2P. Too late
to correct that now, as cancer of the blood sets other end-
times priorities. But the music does contribute to my being
a happy camper, as I always am anyway.
Best to all reading this usless blog of mine. It just made
me feel a bit happier to write it this fine evening.

    ------ About the song Don't Explain performed by Blood, Sweat & Tears

I am a Brazilian lover of BLOOD,SWEAT & TEARS since 70, and since then
I`ve hearing this fantastic "Band" through its majestic songs always when
I am at home in the weekends. BLOOD SWEAT & TEARS is evrything, the GROUP
that I`ll never, never will forget, and WOMANIZER is all to my mind.

    ------ About the song My Days are Numbered performed by Blood, Sweat & Tears

Child is Father to the Man

Go figure. Some classic rock albums will live forever. Al Kooper had a good day that day, historically. One of the best.

Blood, Sweat, and Tears work out the sound that is going to make them all very famous, but here it is still raw edged wonder and beauty. With Hammond B3, hot guitar, with vocal and horn arrangements to die for.

Indeed.

    ------ About the song Morning Glory performed by Blood, Sweat & Tears

I cry when I hear this song. It is pathetic to listen to the singer's needs. Relying on the hobo to fillin the missing parts of his life. Perhaps the singer is crippled, maybe just scared - who knows. Speculate on his need for the hobo.

    ------ About the song Spinning Wheel performed by Blood, Sweat & Tears

The song Spinning Wheels was realy written by Leola Rabb of Seattle Washington back in the early 60's- she had taken her kids to the park, where they rode the merry-go-round, on a painted pony and the spinning wheel. whe sat on a park bench watching them and writing the Lyrics back in that day songs were sold and rights given away-due to lack of knowledge. 250.00 for a song that yet makes $$$. Oh well live and learn.
