Jesus,what a song! So haunting,sad,beautiful...... Thank You for this! I'm 70 and it still touches my soul.
Me too at 75.
I'm 69 and was gonna comment that if you were my age, you had this record- still have it in my collection
56 and loving it
IM 65...BRINGIN UP THE REAR,PEACE! LOL
They don’t make music like this anymore! Power and beauty combined
we had the best music in the late 60s and 70s,a new album every week so many bands back then,music meant something,pulled me out of disspear many times and i thank them for it,peace
Truth!
Still get goosebumps every time I hear this song. Winwood's voice pierces straight to the soul.
That was Ginger Baker on drums, by the way.
Blind Faith only did the one album before parting ways, but the entire album is incredible.
Same here
By the way 😂
🤟👹❤
@@gingerbaker_toad696 um, you're welcome?
Getting responses from beyond the grave, guess I should put the Ouija board away...😳
🤣
@@lisarainbow9703 you're good 😅
You help keeping him alive in a way, let's hope he appreciates that
You guys should do Sea of Joy off this album. Probably the best one.
Steve Winwood is 21 years old here. Incredible
Steve Winwood is one of the greatest musicians of our time, bar none. I'm so very thankful to have been born at the right time to hear him.
Steve Winwood wrote and sang the song for Blind Faith - Some say Steve is singing about a break-up or the meaning of life, while others claim that it’s about war and death, or even drugs.
The song appealed to people in the now of 1969: the end of the ’60s, war, space exploration, and the ever-present uncertainty of life. I've always believed to let people take from it what they want… and what they need. You guys seem to always understand that; it's one of the things that make y'all special. If you
want a banger/rocker from this album, listen to 'HAD TO CRY TODAY' great vocals, and Clapton guitar.
I see it also as a metaphor for the state of the counter culture movement: I'm wasted and I can't find my way home. The high hopes and utopian dreams of youth were dissolving under a massive hangover and loss of ideals. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
One of the most hauntingly beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. It’s always been one of my favorites.
"And I've done nothing wrong But I can't find my way home..." Sends cold shivers down my spine.
Thanks, guys. Coffee and Airplay Beats. Really enjoying your thoughts and opinions on "my" music. Your listening blind for the first time is letting me re-live my first time listening in many cases. Finest Kind, y'all.
Exactly!! ☮️❤️
Straight up MASTERPIECE!!!!!
Great ear! that British rock element is courtesy of Eric Clapton. Steve Winwood is one of the best vocalists of this era, and he is also an astonishing (and underrated) guitar player. But he became famous as a kid for playing Hammond organ. He toured with the biggest American blues acts when they came to the UK because there was basically no one else.
Everything he touches is solid gold. He is the most low key, unassuming rock God you will ever see in your life. He looks like someone's older brother who does IT.
The way those two acoustic guitars provide interplay and counterpoint for each other is brilliant.
I love the electric version they do at their reunion show at MSG in 2004, the whole dvd is incredible.
Winnows started out with The Spencer-Davis Group. They had 3 big radio hits, "Keep On Running," Gimme Some Loving,'" and "I'm a Man." Winwood was age 16 when their first song was released. He then went on to join Clapton in Powerhouse, then he formed Traffic with Jim Capaldi, then he joined with Clapton and Baker and Grech to form Blind Faith, then he moved on to Gender Baker's Airforce. After that, he went solo
I remember the yet not well known Spenser Davis Group playing a small venue in my German hometown. When 'Gimme Some Lovin' came out, most people thought singer Steve Winwood had to be black.
Multi instrumentalist, singer, song writer, Winwood seems quite underrated today, perhaps he was not the typical front man, and more comfortable to sing from next to the drummer. A truly brilliant musician. Much later in L.A., I got to meet many music heroes of my youth, through my friend Terry Reid, one of the greatest singers / musicians, many people have never heard of. The guy who put Zeppelin together & more. There is a great version of 'John Barleycorn Must Die,' just Winwood and his acoustic guitar.
Sat around with my friends got stoned and listened to this record over and over and over. Special record.
Fantastic song! This is the music of my youth. I was blessed to grow up in this time period and experience the great music of the time. Cheers
Me too!
I’ll always love this song and will never tire of it. The whole Blind Faith album is yummy.
Ginger Baker is the dummer, he’s one of the GOATS. Had to Cry Today,, In The Presence of The Lord, Well All Right, Sea of Joy and Do what You Like are the rest of the tracks on this album. All worth a reaction. A true supergroup in every sense of the word.🔥✌️
Ginger left UK for years and played drums and percussion in numerous African bands, most unknown in the West.
I saw Cream in 1968 and Blind Faith in 1969 and after being impressed with Baker's work on "Toad" I found the solo on "Do What You Like" to be much too similar which detracted from the song leaving the sense that it was merely a vehicle for a Baker solo rather than a legitimate composition with a dynamic impact like "Toad".
Sea of Joy has always been my favorite song on this album
Had to Cry Today is a must. Hope you guys dig into more Traffic and Cream. Especially the live version of Deserted Cities of the Heart by Cream. It’s amazing
You have to give props to Ginger Baker on the skins for this one too.. The subtle shuffle on the toms is sublime.. He was the drumming-cream-of-the-crop in Cream too.
You guys are listening to some incredible music, this and Echoes… deserted island tunes.
Another awesome version! I love the echoes. Especially the look on your face for “one of these days i am going to cut you into little pieces” 😂😂

A brilliant band, not around for long. What a lineup.
One of those hauntingly beautiful songs that lingers in the psyche for decades. Another of that ilk is "Dear Mr. Fantasy" from Winwood's time with Traffic. Would love to see you do that one.
💙☮💙☮💙☮💙☮💙☮💙☮💙
"Dear Mr Fantasy" ❤❤❤
Such a great tune, Clapton playing, Winwood singing 👍
Such a good song so old school FM vibes. Tx again fellas
Loved it in 1969 when I was 13...still love it today at 66. Great song.
❤ one of them tunes that brings a tear to my eye.✌️
1st " super Group "
Love this song
Ginger Baker on Drums from Cream, with Clapton. Steve Winwood was with Traffic before that the Spencer Davis Group. The Base Guitar was Rick Grech from a great British Band called Family!
Listen to Can't Find My Way Home from live at Hyde Park. It's not the accoustic arrangement. It truly kicks ass!
Just loving my Airplay Beats soundtrack this morning - peace and love ☮
Saw Steve Winwood a few years ago. He sang this, I had chills in 90 degree weather.
One of the most beautiful songs ever! Winwoid’s voice is a complete rabbithole. He sounded like Ray Charles at age 15. Check him out in “ Nobody Loves You”.
Thanks for playing one of my very favorite songs--so haunting, hypnotic, rich in acoustic texture, with a great metaphor, and beautifully sung.
In hopes of contributing to your excellent reaction, here is some context.
Winwood started as vocalist in the Spencer Davis Group, at some unbelievably young age, like 16. He sang vocals on some great soulful hits for them, then created Traffic, and added brilliant composer and musician to his resume. He then joined with Clapton to form the doomed band, Blind Faith.
Clapton had just emerged from the disaster that was supergroup Cream's breakup, which ended from conflicts between its star members, and the huge touring demands that the band had. Clapton wanted Winwood to join him and form ANOTHER, similar band, with TWO of its former members. Winwood said no, because the conflicts would remain, and the touring required of superstar rock band would destroy them, and allow them no time to write new material. Clapton talked him into it, and they named the band Blind Faith, for their baseless hope that the band would last.
Winwood was right, and the band disbanded after this one album, with this fantastic record on it. Here is an absolutely fantastic live performance by Winwood and Clapton, not to be missed: th-cam.com/video/8L82II1lNjo/w-d-xo.html
Winwood reformed Traffic, made some classic albums, then went on to a solo career in which he remained surprisingly relevant, and made a number of stellar albums. All very worthy of hearing.
Hope you enjoyed that, like I enjoy your insights, dedication, and enthusiasm. Peace.
Thanks for all of your knowledge. We appreciate you!!
@@AirplayBeats No, thank *you*! ha ha. I enjoy you a lot, and am delighted to give back. You guys are doing a great job reviewing songs I love. Thanks!
@@CuriousGeorge1111 have you seen the vids of Steve in his country house by a roaring fire playing this and John Barleycorn on acoustic?
@@TheDivayenta Hi Karen! Yes, I have. Doesn't he do Can't Find My Way Home too at some point?
@@CuriousGeorge1111 yes! As I said, he’s playing THIS and Barleycorn. So amazing!!!!!
Blind Faith live at Hyde Park is Epic.
Stevie Winwood is a very musical man. Simply haunting and all time great song.
Beautiful 😍 MASTERPIECE 😊
I absolutely love this song. It's one of my all-time favorites. What a gem. Thanks for your reaction.
God, I miss the 60s and 70s music that I grew up with - thanks!
I remember as a teenager when this song came out being wasted, singing this song and I couldn’t find my way back home😎
Also check out Sea of Joy and In The Presence Of The Lord from the Blind Faith album. Both are stellar songs.
That's Ginger Baker on drums. He was also the drummer in Cream with Clapton.
I'm so glad I found this tonight! Another great version is Steve Winwood singing this live with Eric Clapton. So powerful.
Thanks for reacting to this!
There's a video of Steve Winwood playing acoustic solo version of this song he did during the pandemic and the sound of the fire crackling in the background takes this song to a different place and he shows he still has it.
Winwood was only 21 when he wrote and sang this and16 years old when he was in Spenser Davis Group and their first hit " Keep on Running " and in 1967 form the band Traffic
this is an awesome song thank you for reacting to it
I've always loved the chord progression in this song.
Such a cool song. It can put you into a reflective mood immediately, at least it always has for me.
Thank **YOU** This song literally saved my life **ThankYouSteveWinwoodMyCosmicGuardianAngel** **MuchLove&Gratitude**
I love Blind Faith! Brought up my children and grand children on them, along with the other super groups of that time...Cream, Moody Blues, Who, Traffic, Pink Floyd.... Big list! 😳 Great music!! 💋💖💋💖😎
One of my all time favs. :)
This is the ringtone on my phone! Try there reunion at a crossroads concert Clapton and Winwood together for the first time in 30 years! Along with Derrick Trucks! Can’t find my way home! Amazing live version many years later!❤
I love that you're listening to the songs I grew up on. Cruising down the road and listening to my cassette tapes until they got chewed up in the player.
"Tore up from the floor up."
Reverend!!

Many people think that this is about loss and seeking redemption- debut was in a live concert in Hyde Park. Ginger Baker of Cream is the drummer-Clapton heard Winwood a few years earlier and said I saw a pimply teen white boy who sounds like Ray Charles and I have to be in a band with him Steve was a session player at age 13 for Ray Charles
Good one for you guys stellar song love you
Some very rare people are just kissed by the Talent Gods to do great and wondrous things with their gifts-- even at an early age. Steve Winwood is one of those rare, talented people. And music lovers all over the world are truly blessed that he exists. Period.
You two genuinely are loving the great musicianship of the old school, like this reaction. Earned my sub. Thank you, and more please.
"Don't Misunderstand Me" · Rossington Collins Band is a ROCKN' groove with some transitions...
One of the first “Super Group”
“Presence of the Lord” is a must listen too. Winwood’s voice and organ with Clapton’s guitar is absolutely moving.
I was lucky enough to be at a blind faith concert at the Baltimore Civic Centre, can’t remember if it was 71 or 72. I believe it was their one and only US tour
Litterly listend to this song daily for over 53 years .Most recently used in Mayor of Knightstown as intro and outro to the last episode.
Mom was hip 😎
Live vid @ Crossroads-Clapton's rehab in Antigua/Annual Guitar-Slingers fest fundraiser...... Wynwood, Eric, Derek Trucks, Doyle Bramhall, 2 hot back-up ladies, ope bass, etc, etc.
Fantastic energy....Stevie smiles & nods @ Clapton at the end...he was pleased, as he should have been.
I love this song.
Stevie had a YT video performing this song alone😮 with just an acoustic guitar. Soul jarring
Also drummer Ginger Baker from Cream. Thanks again for the great music - you guys are in my very short daily rotation every evening.
Steve was barely 21 when this was recorded! (Masterful guitar playing too!)
Loved that realized immediately that this was a great classic song. Great job 👏
always loved this song. it speaks to me of my brother and his sad life, he died on xmas day. he loved this song. i miss him.
My favorite version of this song was the live version at Hyde Park, London, in 1969.
That wild you said that alot of folk singers covered this🤙
I once searched Yahoo, and it's amazing how many acts have covered this song in their live shows.
@@loosilu heck, I would have covered it if I could sing and play guitar… great song.
You have got to listen to the live version of this song it's 1 of the finest live performances I've ever heard. They got the Trucks kid playing with them (Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood. One of my favorite songs from that album I bought way back then.
Great reaction guys!! This is one of the first so called super groups..They only lasted for one or two albums..That is part of their mystique..Keep er movin guys!! shout out from the old metal head from Detroit..Peace and love
Always good hearing from you!! Thank you!!
@@AirplayBeats Thank you guys for bringing real musical knowledge to the reaction world..I have been going to live shows since 78' and worked stage,lights and sound during the 90's for big tours..That's why I believe what you guys are doing exceeds other channels..Keep the doobies fat and I will catch up with you guys soon..Peace and love..
The breaks where the drums drop and the nylon string git is left to weep alone for half a measure? Gorgeous. Thanks dudes! Love it
We had some damn good music back then
Just a great band...
Takes me back to my hippie days! Hey guys❤️❤️❤️
I love Sea of joy off this album
You guys are hitting on all cylinders with your selections. My go to reactors
The whole album is outstanding. His haunting voice will get you in "Had to Cry Today". Same tone in 'Sea of Joy'.
LOVING THIS TUNE EVERY TIME.
Only one record but a good one. Eric met Delaney and Bonnie while touring with Blind Faith and was on the path to Derek and the Dominos. Winwood did Traffic 2.0 after this
It’s the drums y’all,there are many layers to song. Everyone came together this one here. I just found the song two months ago. 😮
This is the only acoustic song on the album, and gets all of the play. Try "Had To Cry Today" for a more energetic number. "Do What You Like" is the vehicle for Ginger Baker's 5/4 drum solo.
Back in my day, this album was played at EVERY party, which happened often...
"And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home". -So no one left!! Party on...👍🏻💯☮️
This tune can make a person stop & listen. Rock on Airplay Beats #7
My favorite Steve Winwood song. Beautiful song, beautifully sung. I heard some interview w/ Chris Blackwell (Fresh Air probably), who I think "discovered" or signed Winwood. He produced those Spencer Davis Group hits like Gimme Some Lovin' and I'm a Man (or maybe he was the manager?). He went to a club that had multiple rooms and heard Winwood from behind a door in another room. He couldn't believe a white kid was singing like that, cause he was just a kid then. Always a great distinctive voice. Chris Blackwell super interesting too, produced Bob Marley and bunch of other people too.
This song is one of my favorites and the Album is excelent as well. You might check ouot some of the their other songs on this one.
This is such an amazing song. In the 70s as a teen, I used to drive around with a boom box in the back seat. My Dad was Police Chief at the time. My sister and I would drive around smokin weed, so this song had meaning as well. Get straight then go home. My Dad knew I was a stoner and was cool about it. Just warned me to be careful because of his job. Plus I'm 4th of five. The older sibs were 60s trip takers. Guess they teed it up. Lmao My sis and I recorded this song for a radio contest. One guitar 2 part harmony. We came in 2nd.
You have to do this one that he did about 6 years ago at his home in England. Just him, a guitar and a fireplace.
Steve Winwood is in the Beethoven on Mt Olympus club of modern music. Neil Young, John Lennon. Roger Waters. Tommy Iommi. Jimmy Page. Pete Townshend. There are some key artists that when time passes on their influence elevates them. Immortals.
I remember hearing this song for the first time as a kid on an episode of 21 Jump Street. Johnny Depp was deep cover in a juvenile prison and this song played during some montage when he was having a breakdown. I must have been 11-12 and i NEEDED to find out what song it was. It hit me in the heart and soul even as a kid.
Great reaction to a terrific old song. It makes you feel some kind of way inside. So evocative. Thanks!!
Winwood is a legend 🤘🤘
Slammin' album! Beautiful merging of the styles of Clapton and Winwood. Every song on this album is a groove! This is definitely a "sit and sip with headphones on" album! At this point, Clapton had played in The Yardbirds, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, and Cream. Steve Winwood had been with The Spencer Davis Group and Traffic. Ginger Baker on drums also came with Eric from Cream. Ric Grech on bass was with Family. After this album he went on to team up with Ginger Baker in Ginger Baker's Air Force and joined Winwood in the next iteration of Traffic.
Steve Winwood did a solo album JOHN BARLECORN MUST DIE . He started as a solo effort playing all instruments but missed the musical collaboration so eventually most of the other Traffic members join in, continuing on Traffic's rock jazz fusion mix. Two not miss cuts from the album are GLAD and EMPTY PAGES. The whole album is outstanding. You Tube has a 2005 PBS Soundstage featuring both songs in live performances but you should also check out the album cuts.
Winwood and Clapton recorded LIVE FROM MADISON SQUARE GARDEN (2009). Talk about a concert.... I wished I could have attended they and the band are killer.
Hyde Park 1969 video is surreal. Seeing Ginger Baker’s cascading drums, along with the other greats is a visual feast.
Highly recommended.
One of the finest gatherings and collaborations of talents of the era.
Yvonne Elliman does a haunting version of this as well.
Wind wood started with the Spencer Davis Group at 17 yrs old. Check out their cut of "Gimme some loven" circa 1966-67
I always love this song. It’s a little banger.
