The Human Expression with a really bittersweet song written by the legendary Mars Bonfire . He also offered them 'Born to be wild' but they refused ! Thx
👍👍Great lyrics, lead singer has good tone and clear voice. Interesting lead guitar break, really punches thru with that fat sound. The single note twangs are effective as a melancholic added touch but there is also some other instrumentation back in the mix (but more pronounced after the bridge) that really reinforces that hypnotic, gloomy feel...I think I hear some pedal steel...strings, flute and organ. A lot going on here, but blends so well as a whole composition.
sweet child of nothingness, born into the street the gift of life is all you get, and that is not so sweet the tenement will be your castle cut-rate clothes and cheap perfume will mark you and you'll only get escape by runnin' in your sleep runnin' in your sleep sweet child of nothingness, how ya gonna ride? you're looking up from way down under into indifferent eyes the hand that reaches out to help will not be there when it takes what it wants and leaves you doubled up in pain, girl make it if you can make it if you can sweet child of nothingness you're lookin' good today all the men turn and wonder what kinda games you play try to catch a rich man's smile go search for love, yeah, find some guy to keep you in the most expensive cage, and see if that's the end see if that's the end see if that's the end... (mars bonfire, 1967.)
I wonder if this bass player, Tom Hamilton,is the same Tom Hamilton, bass player of the early 70s group Aerosmith He would've been about 16-17 years old ??????????
Mawmaw left me her tractor and the barn, and the silo, but not her beautiful diamond earrings, I used to swing on those earrings like a monkey in a jungle, I sure do miss mawmaw, but now in just readin her will
I'm so drawn to this song. Thank you for
hearing music I hadn't heard in almost 60 years.

Always knew Human Expression by Optical Sound but never heard this one, great one
sweet child of nothingness,
born into the street
the gift of life is all you get,
and that is not so sweet
the tenement will be your castle
cut-rate clothes and cheap perfume
will mark you and you'll
only get escape by runnin' in your sleep
runnin' in your sleep
sweet child of nothingness,
how ya gonna ride?
you're looking up from way down under
into indifferent eyes
the hand that reaches out to help
will not be there when it takes what it wants
and leaves you doubled up in pain, girl
make it if you can
make it if you can
sweet child of nothingness
you're lookin' good today
all the men turn and wonder
what kinda games you play
try to catch a rich man's smile
go search for love, yeah, find some guy
to keep you in the most expensive cage,
and see if that's the end
see if that's the end
see if that's the end...
