My dad died in 1991. I was blessed to watch him the last 6 monthes! He told me everything I hear this song, think on him. Tears of joy came, as it's always played when I need it the most! See you soon daddy..
TRUE STORY: So, I'm a truck driver from Canada and there was this time when I had a load to deliver in Fremont CA. which is across the bay from San Francisco. So I get there at a warehouse and they were not ready to unload me so I had to wait a couple hours. It was a nice hot day and I decided to go for a walk. Out behind the warehouse, I found a gate and path that led up to a dike, once up on the dike I could see the city across the bay and I walked along enjoying the views and peace. A bit further down I came upon a little pier going out in the water and I went to the end and sat down for a rest. Not very long after I suddenly realized that I was "sitting on the dock of the bay, watching the tide roll away, just sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time"
This is a song that will always be a precious memory in light of Otis Redding. The last song he written and sung before his untimely passing. R.I.P Big guy ❤ and thank you for such a beautiful song 🎶
People all over the World know and sing this Song because its simply honest and true. I feel it deeply. It is not only a matter of colour. Its a matter of poor underrated and poor people all over the World.
“Look like nothin's gonna change Everything still remains the same I can't do what ten people tell me to do So I guess I'll remain the same, yes Sittin' here restin' my bones And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen Two thousand miles, I roam Just to not make this dock my home” ❤❤❤❤❤
It's 8:01 am....sitting outside this morning watching the Carolina sun rise and warm my face and this song came on my mind...this is one of my favorite oldies..today's music can't touch the songs of yesterday
Life taught me not to judge the grow up, because his lack of wiseness, because time doesn't make us wiser, but rather much less susceptible to the damage that destiny inflicts. But yeah sometimes old is just closer to the heart, than new could ever be.
A truly ironic song of a recording artist if there ever was one. One of the great soul voices ever, tragically, silenced prematurely. “Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay” was Otis Redding's biggest hit (albeit, posthumously), the one song he is known for (by those unfamiliar with his career) and one of the last songs he ever made........yet, it is the most UN-Otis Redding-like song that he ever recorded. He left behind an extensive collection and you would be hard pressed to find another record of Redding that sounds like “Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay”. Hawg for You, These Arms of Mine, Ole Man Trouble, Lover's Prayer, Pain in My Heart, That's How Strong My Love Is, Just One More Day, etc etc. and NONE of these are similar to this song at all. So, this particular brought Redding's name out to the unfamiliar and it is a nice song but it is NOT representative of Otis Redding's singing style and the other terrific recordings that he made.
A very beautiful song but kind of depressing to think of giving up and just sitting, waiting for your life to end, doing nothing but being lonely, wasting time, even if it is in a place you like. 😕
@@jmmick1992 thank you very much for what you said for the last of my brother thank you again I miss him dearly I had just came back into his life after 20 something years he died within 3 months after that I miss him dearly
19, and I'm being exposed to this through a college class. I never truly appreciated the old but gold stuff until I took a course on it. Was never big into modern music with the exception of Sabaton, but now I feel enlightened almost
So many of the great musicians died in plane and helicopter crashes. I could make a long list. Its almost like it was a curse or their destiny. I dont understand it.
These stories are just like Otis Redding was singing about in 1967 (Sitting on the dock of the bay), if you listen to the words it clearly states how these ladies living their lives. Take time to download the song you will be amazed what the lyrics are saying.
Grew up this type of music my auntie had liquor joint small playing good old school music I remember when I was a kid was best time of my life I love the country life
Listening to this, while reminiscing of the past week, that just ended. I just returned home from Panama City Beach, Florida this evening. And while I am relieved to finally be home, a part of me will always be there. PCB, has always been my home away from home, and like a second home for me. At age 49, PCB has been a second home for me, since I was a small child.
I remember coming up and my grandad would sit in his truck and listen to these songs and this one just struck memory. Miss my guy forever resting in peace.
I remember listening to a tape with this song on it years ago after stealing alcohol out my grans wardrobe when my dog died .... I think I was about 12 omg lol

My first song I sang at a bar. I was doing karaoke and I felt this song in my soul. I’ll never forget that night. 💙

A 1960 baby still here
I do. This is poetry, and beauty. R.I.P dear Otis, thanks for this masterpiece. Greetings from Argentina.
I am 🙏

RIP Otis. A beautiful song. You will always be loved. ❤
I can never express what this song does for my soul.😊
Today's music will never be as good as this. 😌 Some people might treat this song as a song but it's not a song it's history.
"tragically we lost a great creative mind in 1967 .."
Best song Ever
This song reminds me of my grandad. Always find my self whistling along without even knowing I'm doing it. Suchhhhh a tune xx
Yes. 100% as a 35 year old, I'm in complete agreement. Real music died before I was even born. Video killed the radio star...
That was so beautiful🥺😍🥺😍
Who’s still listening to this masterpiece in 2023????
Me
2024

This song always brings memories. It also tells you to go for what you want dnt sit and wait
I first hear this and was like…”what a good beat” it sounds very relaxing
Bro if you really listen to the lyrics!!!! Omg they are hitting deep! Bro really put some soul into this song!!😢
“Look like nothin's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes
Sittin' here restin' my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen
Two thousand miles, I roam
Just to not make this dock my home”
❤❤❤❤❤
I love that song r.i.p. Otis Redding rest peacefully in heaven and we all love you very much ❤️🩷!!!!
Its a shame they don’t sing like this with heart and soul in 2024 ! 😘🥰😍rip legend

I just read that he didn’t even get to hear the finished song before he passed :-( rest in peace brother
Just a 90s baby here listening to this epic goodie for the bazillionth time 😝
This song was great when I was in high school and I still love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello how are you doing
Where are you from?
I understand the meaning of this song 🤓🤘🏽
I didnt. Could you elaborate
A very beautiful song but kind of depressing to think of giving up and just sitting, waiting for your life to end, doing nothing but being lonely, wasting time, even if it is in a place you like. 😕
The new music of today will never be as good as this. No doubt

Idk why but in ninth grade I had a major change in music and this one of the best songs ever
Loved this song, still love it. Wonderful
Can’t believe he was he was killed in a plane crash his songs were amazing and I hope he rests in peace.
So many of the great musicians died in plane and helicopter crashes. I could make a long list. Its almost like it was a curse or their destiny. I dont understand it.
