Wow. What a wonderful trip.

Pure brilliance. Evocative, transportive and strikingly original. Yet somehow, oddly familiar. Heck of a musical achievement, I say.

Es increíble ver cómo la escuela Zappa fue diferente para Vai y Belew. Creo que Belew supo ver la esencia de Zappa: versatilidad.

Adrian Belew has been a really great guitarist and composer. Other people dont understsnd nuthin’ bout Adrian Belew. I’m sad. - john coolmam

Definitely an example of a song I wish I'd written. Brilliant. The man can do anything.

I get a real McCartneyish vibe offa this. Great song.

1967 LYRICS Last night I took a walk into the back of my mind Through the trash and the warning signs There was a party full of jokes and clich's I couldn't think of anything to say And so I slipped into the men's room there I saw my hair a way it's never been before I took the stairs from my head to my heart I didn't know they were so far apart The heart is like a little chapel somewhere The pretty lights and the empty chairs But I'm gonna bring a broom next time I'll sweep out all the broken strings I find She walks me down to my private train And lays me down in my sleeping car She keeps my elephant out of the rain And sees to the care of my vintage cars She is the blood of my life Without her I would starve Who you gonna run to? Who you gonna hide behind? Who you gonna turn to When there's nobody home but you? What's a father to do With all theses school-less injuns Running in circles around the wagons What's a father to do With all these monster debts Around my neck On a sad sun deck Oh, my children, the times are jaded The simple life is complicated Oh, my children Now if the dark of the night Arrives in the middle of the day I'm gonna say my prayer For sweetness and light Gonna fix myself a Coke And hope it's alright If the bat-winged beast sweep down For a feast on me I'm gonna pin my soul To a hot-air balloon Gonna make it pop And shoot me to the moon Now you've had another piece of my mind A cup of coffee and a slice of time If you'll excuse me I should say goodbye I gotta go now

I love that ending. "I gotta go now". End of song

One of my new favorites

This one in particular you can really hear and feel his love and admiration for The Beatles.

Adrian Blew has multiple wonderful songs just so you All know!

One of the Best Albums of All Time! ;)

Here is my favorite album! Multiple great songs just pop it and push play! Just like any other albums. Sorry CDs or however you listen now.

Its a mini album.

I rember buying this in 1987. Listened at 2:16 1000 times.

Is new for me, I love Adian music.

Thanks for uploading this. One of my favorite Belew songs.

Just so classic, I've barely tapped into the techniques I have learned from this man, and I've been at this a long time. #AdrianBelew

Belew, te amo

I KNEW somebody would put this up eventually. I've been looking for it since I lost the cassette... about '06 or '07 maybe? That other version doesn't do justice to this one. THANK YOU!

ONLY 60,000 views. What a CRIME.

It would be fun to sit around a fire with good old friends and play and enjoy this song one more time!

thanks mac

Thanks for posting. One of my all time faves.

I've owned every format of this over the years; album, cassette. CD is my car as I write this. One of my all time favourites. Most other musicians would have made 4 songs out of this cut. a cup of coffee, and a slice of time ... Thanks for posting.

My kitty cat usually loves Adrian Belew.

Sooo good. I'm glad that not many people know of this kind of music, they don't deserve it.

Wow estoy entrando al mubdo de Adrian y es sorprendente.

¡Qué chido! Es una gran canción. Belew siempre grande. Gracias por subirla.

Un grande de verdad Belew!!

I'm just in love with this...

Last night I took a walk into the back of my mind Through the trash and the warning signs There was a party full of jokes and clich's I couldn't think of anything to say And so I slipped into the men's room there I saw my hair a way it's never been before I took the stairs from my head to my heart I didn't know they were so far apart The heart is like a little chapel somewhere, The pretty lights and the empty chairs But I'm gonna bring a broom next time I'll sweep out all the broken strings I find She walks me down to my private train And lays me down in my sleeping car She keeps my elephant out of the rain And sees to the care of my vintage cars She is the blood of my life Without her I would starve Who you gonna run to?

Remember being in LA 1987. What's a father to do?

All I want is find a nice woman who'd keep my elephant out of the rain

April 26, 2024: Apple allows emulators on the app store, net neutrality is restored, and the FTC is to end no competes. In a world where things seem to be taken away from us more often than given, it's nice to see these things. We may never get back a 24/7 walmart or a 99 cent mcchicken but there is always promise for tomorrow even if the odds are stacked against us. THEN I decide man I want to listen to 1967 by adrian belew and I see the high quality youtube audio copy (Adrian Belew - topic) is GONE. These are all some hyper specifics, and I'm sure I sound nuts, but the mere fact I can't listen to the specific song I was looking for makes me very sad. Well at least I own this album on cassette, and no one can take that from me!

very cool

wow

Big eletric cat

martin your right

quite fab-fourish

the bridge part thing between the first to versus and the next tune thing songs just like elos Mr radio

What do you call the sound at 3:50? Is that a chord? It's positively heavenly swoon.

cool

I'm not sure why but this song reminds me of he Bangles.

FUCK YEAH, ADRIAN!!!

Fire beat bruh

+ Fabian Spampinato Dove hai trovato questo pezzo ? , sembra quel fessacchiotto di Paul mcCartney . Io ho conosciuto Belew con Discipline , sapevo che aveva suonato con mille musicisti ma nm avevo mai sentito un suo brano solista prima del 1981. Cmq rimane un genio uno che é riuscito a portare i King Crimson ad una nuova era e i Talking Heads nel loro disco più bello Remain in light.

@ 3:48 sounds like another song that's just a shadow at the moment.

Anyone here from matin poppoff ?

Sounds so much like the Beatles.

:-)

jelaus us

Okay Brainiac- who do ya think "she" is in this song? Now fill in the blank with "GOD" and you'll hear the real song

meh
