Absolutely FANTASTIC!!! Not only a great song... But the Video is perfect for the Lyrics! This should be released as a Video-Single in 2015 - Certainly `Motivates´ me!!!!
Motivates me to reflect on why something exists at all, and what kind of object mankind is in its star system... Maybe something exists because the opposite is impossible, a state of absolutely nothing isn't even a state... And if something (immaterial or/and material) must exist (because a state as such must exist), it can not begin to exist. But why hasn't everything that can happen, already happened, if something always has existed ? . The reason could be that the characteristic "always" does not exist in the universe. That the universe instead just exists, changes to a new state, exists, changes again, etc, without any "always" or "forever" etc. (To compare with something, a flower doesn't feel anything, a thought doesn't smell anything. These characteristics simply do not exist for the objects/phenomenons). So then the universe hasn't always existed from its own point of view, and "always" is just a characteristic in brains, an illusion because we can store past events and imagine future events, from our perspective. The universe itself can't store its past, it seems to just exist with a "now", "all the time", everywhere. And the light is the information carrier between its objects, with a delay, for the "nows". Imagine a small asteroid which hits the moon. A flash of light from the moon, on its way to the earth, then carries information about that past event from the perspective of the moon. But it is a future event from the perspective of the earth (it hasn't happened there yet). So it can just be characterized as a "now" where it is (between the moon and the earth), from the perspective of the whole universe. . Shine on, love the way the woman walks outside my window, a zillion of changing atoms/molecules in a concentrated form, moving in space. She can reduce the rate of aging by accelerating more often, which physically slows down the rate of change in her atoms while moving, relative to the earth (Einstein). Btw, is that one of the reasons why most women instinctively like men with fast/flashy cars ? :)
Hi Alan, more people remember than you think!!! I´m British but live in Germany. & they played the last hour of 2014 & the first hour of 2015, just T.Rex!!! For hundreds of people at the "New Years Party" where I was at. Young & Old!
I do ..I am sitting typing this to you with the golden cat on my knee whilst wearing my velvet hat!! I'm sure there are plenty of us who went on to become total weirdos in the early 80's and in my case I still am ;) Hehehe x
Top notch slinky sleazy 'lectric boogie. I love to play along to this, and always use it to tune my guitar if I can. Also, what a terrific video. Well done to whoever put that together.Marc is revisiting me just now. He's been here a few weeks, making me remember so long ago, and he's still a magician, an enchanter, an enigma. Thanks should also go to Steve Took- bit of a musical genius alongside Marc, that boy was, and Mickey Finn for being so glamorous, Bill for that incredible drumming, Steve for the superlative bass playing (I mean, just listen to him on this track!!!), and Tony for getting the best out of them- such sweet, warm, immersive, clear, rich, powerful, melodic, groovy production. So glad my mum bought me those albums.Thank you to all. Celebration!
Tony Visconti gave this band a completely new sound,just compare it to their previous acoustic hippie album. It set the tone for glam rock in early 70’s. Most of the tunes on Electric Warrior were reworking and channeling Chuck Berry,but with a wonderful funk and deep bass and drums... what a fantastic album!
wow bang a gong riff at 2.24 🤣 you can also hear traces of bang a gong song as a idea at the end. I love, love Trex, listen to them since teen, but MB sure used similar riffs and song structures all the time. He does play them to sonic perfection, especially with the top notch production
I love this !!! WOW 40yrs today me and my friend bunked off from school aged 10 and sat up a tree in Liverpool UK crying because Marc had been killed..I wonder how many kids today will be able to remember the lyrics to all the crap they listen to today ,yet we can still sing every T-Rex song and do the Pans People dance routine may I add!! RIP beautiful Marc Bolan ,you graced us with glamour ,beauty and what a voice !! No wonder so many of us 50 somethings grew up to be sexually ambiguous in the UK.. love the golden cat ..Sophie Wilde xxx ps sincere thanks to you for not putting adverts on this vid x
OMG I bought the album Electric Warrior when it first came out but somehow forgot this track. It's one of the greatest ever albums. Every track could have been released as a single and gone to number one in the uk. (I don't know what's wrong with the US). Anyway this is an amazing re-find on my 40 anniversary tour of Marc's output and it's an incredible visual experience too. It hasn't dated a bit! Thanks!
ALAN GREEN I agree Alan. I posted it on Facebook and one of my friends said it sounded like Bang A Gong, I wanted to tell her except it's got a far better groove, it's infectious....my fave T-Rex song for sure!
The Motivator, a timeless song from a timeless album. ELECTRIC WARRIOR easily stands the test of time. BTW I'm 62 :-) from Bavaria. Saw them in Feb.1973 at Messehalle Nuremberg.
Love it!!! Remember when 14...throwing pebbles on local lake.. whilst singing this ..lol We wore combine coats with trex shirts n loafers shoes. After sang Monolith..n rabbit fighter...brilliant
Its cool that they included a picture of Flo & Eddie... They really provided that important ingredient to those early T. Rex songs...Bolan's music wasn't quite the same once he stopped using them
Hi Jon. I don't know if you will remember me but we used to work together in Berlin. I was the small, young and loud little brat for a better choice of words. I came to your very first solo performance (which was fantastic). I would have dropped you privet message but there is no link to do so. It would be lovely to hear from you after so many years as I have told my wife how much you opened my eyes to the world and beyond. It would be great to get back in touch Jason_morris66@hotmail.com Looking forward to catching up after so long, Jason x
Spiritual Paradise ha ha, of course my friend, but there is a difference of five years. The earlier phase is genius, the later... now there are lovers of the late work too.
He was the king...June broke his crown, and held it to ransom. and the golden cat in the bedroom, well June was a blonde...it was her "cat" that was in their bedroom.
Wow. It was just yesterday that I was 15 or 16 listening to this. I’m now 68 and still love his music.
me too. i am 68 too
64 - educated young!
Released in 1971 - Who is rocking to this in 2024 ?
Acá... Saludos desde Chile !
The real King.
I am!

Stuff from LONDON 🤩🇬🇧
Oh yeah, religiously!
I'm 60.

I was 65 onn the weekend and this made me feel 15 again lols ...

The Motivator - Great song from a timeless classic masterpiece of an album that ELECTRIC WARRIOR was and still is.
Yes, a fantastic album .
Absolute kick ass song.
This song hasn't aged
An awesome tune from the great album "ELECTRIC WARRIOR" Every song on this album is fine made
It was christmas eve 1971. I have a photo on me that day. I held a new black album in my hand. It was Electric Warrior. I was 14 and very happy.
The Motivator sounds fresh as when it was released just yesterday and not from 1971.
Simply the best pure Genius Heavens ballroom must be paradise
This is the essence of a sexy song - very raw and to the point one of the greatest songs ever
Болан раздает тепло и свою любовь самозабвенно❤️
Absolutamente de acuerdo !!!
To be played at maximum volume . What a song. The master himself at his peak. See you Marc!
"I love the velvet hat. You know the one that caused the revolution." - I love this lyric.
Don't forget the golden cat!
whoever made this clip - it's great!
I'll never forget Marc. Saw him twice live with T Rex. No one like him.
Lucky you bud , I was 14 when fate took him and never saw him live . Wembley pool gig is marvellous and wish there was more at that time . Slider and Electric warrior best albums ,Hot love, Telegram sam ,children of the revolution and get it on best singles . Love mambo sun ,ball rooms of mars .thunderwing and Cadillac and Deborah woodland rock and ride a white swan . The groover and motivator . There you know where I'm coming from ..oh and life a gas
In the same club, bro.
Bowie? Steve Harley?
This motivates me into another dimension as all Marc's music does !
Lawd, this is amazing!
Love the velvet hat 🎩
Love it!
Absolutely FANTASTIC!!!
Not only a great song... But the Video is perfect for the Lyrics!
This should be released as a Video-Single in 2015 - Certainly `Motivates´ me!!!!

AMI The First you need to get out more
Meaning what exactly ..? what a meany
One of my favorite albums! What a good guitar player is Marc Bolan. It doesn't look like being released in 1971
THIS IS A LOST CLASSIC FROM THE CLASSIC ALBUM ," ELECTRIC WARRIOR " WHICH CAME OUT IN 1971 .TOO BAD NOT MANY PEOPLE REMEMBER THIS SONG
Hi Alan,
more people remember than you think!!!
I´m British but live in Germany. & they played the last hour of 2014 & the first hour of 2015, just T.Rex!!! For hundreds of people at the "New Years Party" where I was at. Young & Old!

Have to be a REAL fan to know all the great songs like this one.
It was covered a couple years ago by Cherrie Curry of the Runaways Brie Darling Howard of Fanny. Greta version , check it out
62 and this is Super Excellent Thank you whoever posted this!
An incredible remastering of an incredible song
One of my all time favorites. A huge fan since then.
Absolutely brilliant.
Brilliant track should have been a single number one

Tony Visconti gave this band a completely new sound,just compare it to their previous acoustic hippie album. It set the tone for glam rock in early 70’s. Most of the tunes on Electric Warrior were reworking and channeling Chuck Berry,but with a wonderful funk and deep bass and drums... what a fantastic album!
This was amazing. Appreciated here in Toronto, Canada.
There will never be another Marc. He was one beautiful man. Such a sexy voice!!

Where's the love button ?
Love the vid great work thank you!!! Always Keep A lil Marc In Your Heart!!!

From the album electric warrior. Brilliant
3:02 Marc, Kaylan and Volman. The imagery is the essence of Glam, the song makes me want to put my platforms back on.
I love this !!! WOW 40yrs today me and my friend bunked off from school aged 10 and sat up a tree in Liverpool UK crying because Marc had been killed..I wonder how many kids today will be able to remember the lyrics to all the crap they listen to today ,yet we can still sing every T-Rex song and do the Pans People dance routine may I add!!

"Marc had been killed"
I think he may have been killed.
every track on this album is great I still have my original copy with the free poster inside loved the fly label so cool
You even got Flo & Eddie in the video..Bravo!!
Oh yes, Flo & Eddie on the background make a awesome performance.
OMG I bought the album Electric Warrior when it first came out but somehow forgot this track. It's one of the greatest ever albums. Every track could have been released as a single and gone to number one in the uk. (I don't know what's wrong with the US).
Anyway this is an amazing re-find on my 40 anniversary tour of Marc's output and it's an incredible visual experience too. It hasn't dated a bit! Thanks!
pigsbishop99 never forget Motivator.
T.Rex is the Electric warrior .
Love this video & song. T-rex was my first concert. Was underage but let in anyway.😊

Wow, the echo on that guitar...
On a par with 'get it on' great riff

GREAT VIDEO TO POSSIBLY THE GROOVIEST TUNE OF ALL TIME!!!!
IT'S TOO BAD NOT MANY PEOPLE REMEMBER THIS SONG. IN MY OPINION THIS IS FAR BETTER THAN "GET IT ON ( BANG A GONG )
ALAN GREEN I agree Alan. I posted it on Facebook and one of my friends said it sounded like Bang A Gong, I wanted to tell her except it's got a far better groove, it's infectious....my fave T-Rex song for sure!

The Motivator, a timeless song from a timeless album. ELECTRIC WARRIOR easily stands the test of time. BTW I'm 62 :-) from Bavaria. Saw them in Feb.1973 at Messehalle Nuremberg.
Love it so much I can't describe it with words here
And a fab vid too.
T.Rex fantastic! I like Electric Warrior.

Remember when 14...throwing pebbles on local lake.. whilst singing this ..lol
We wore combine coats with trex shirts n loafers shoes.
After sang Monolith..n rabbit fighter...brilliant
Its cool that they included a picture of Flo & Eddie... They really provided that important ingredient to those early T. Rex songs...Bolan's music wasn't quite the same once he stopped using them
Love this, beautiful.

Cool vid neat vibrant T rex
nice vid. great track from a great album.marc left us so many great songs
cool!
Brilliant video!
Excellent video production! LOVE it
Superb video . Hard to believe this wasn't released as a single. I would have preferred this to "Zip Gun Boogie" or "Soul of my Suit"! Great work.
Spiritual Paradise ha ha, of course my friend, but there is a difference of five years. The earlier phase is genius, the later... now there are lovers of the late work too.
Echoes of his earlier works in the lyrics of this. Kings, broken crowns and golden cats.
He was the king...June broke his crown, and held it to ransom. and the golden cat in the bedroom, well June was a blonde...it was her "cat" that was in their bedroom.
@@suep3806 interesting analysis, I like it
love,love,love it...
Great video for Marc
Fab video. Fits the song perfectly. Great job.
