- Larry Norman - Watch What You're Doing ~ Track 5
From the Album "Something New Under The Son" ~ (Solid Rock Records) ~ 1981
In 1977 Norman recorded Something New under the Son a blues-rock concept album that some regard as his tour de force, and as "one of the roughest, bluesiest, and best rock and roll albums of his career or the whole industry", that took its title from "an ironic inversion of a phrase in Ecclesiastes", namely: "there is nothing new under the sun" (Ecclesiastes 1:9b). While Norman explicitly denied this album was autobiographical in the accompanying lyric songbook, many years later some critics challenged this claim, arguing "Norman was struggling through his own divorce and identity crisis at the time". In 1999 Norman responded by arguing that when he completed the album, he was happily married and that several of the songs were written before he had met his wife. Norman indicated that the songs chronicled "Pilgrim's" journey into faith. On this album Norman deliberately "took lots of musical & lyrical parts from old blues songs and from Bob Dylan songs". Norman acknowledged a deliberate similarity between his Something New Under the Son and Bob Dylan's 1965 album Bringing It All Back Home, including a deliberate endeavor to replicate Bringing It All Back Home's iconic album cover on the inner sleeve of the original Something New Under the Son LP album. Jesus Music historian David Di Sabatino described the album as "Musically reminiscent of The Rolling Stones' Exile on Main Street (1972) The album's artwork is an excellent attempt to parallel Bob Dylan's Bringing It All Back Home (1966). "Nightmare #97" makes excellent use of Stagger Lee intro (cf. "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream"). With the song "Let That Tape Keep Rolling" Norman pays homage to Mick Jagger and Van Morrison. Norman explained the philosophy behind this album:
The album is called Something New Under the Son. Well my music is not new. "There's nothing new under the sun", Solomon said and my album is not new. I'm not trying to say that my album is new under the sun but I'm trying to say that we are something new under the Son. When we're born again we're a new creature and old things pass away, so on my album I wanted to put some remnants from the past. There are little bits and pieces in the music that some people might recognize have been on other albums before. Just a word there, a little sentence or some musical riff or lick and a lot of people have figured out what they are and when you listen to it you say "wait a minute, I think I've heard that before!" Yes, you have, because there's nothing new under the sun - except us. We are new in Christ.
Norman had intended to release this as a double album with his 1971 song "The Tune" on the second album (and a blank fourth side or a side with a lengthy version of "Watch What You're Doing"). However, Word rejected Norman's wishes as they believed two separate albums would be more profitable, censored some of the songs, and delayed the album's release until 1981. A full length (almost 12 minute) version of "The Tune" was recorded in Hollywood in 1977, but not released until 1983 on the album The Story of the Tune, which is called "the continuation of Something New Under The Son on the back cover".
The CD reissue restores a censored verse to "Watch What You're Doing" and omits a brief intro from "Leaving The Past Behind."

hey all you people ,Larry wasn't perfect, he made some big mistakes in his life, but despite his weaknesses God still used and is still using his music to reach people
good comment this song and why don't you lookinto jesus I really related to and helped me relise how much I need jesus
1.27 this is the symbol of illuminate? One eye
King David in the Bible was not perfect either, but look at all the music and psalms he wrote. In fact, I don't know anyone perfect except Jesus Christ. Larry Norman had a heart for God and God used him and is still using his music. Praise God.
Agreed, just like most of the characters in the old Testament, they weren't mentioned in Hebrews for their high std of morality, but their simple faith!
Amen!
"Fell for a man like a chain sawed tree"
What a great lyric!
Saw Larry 5 or 6 times in NJ and California. Once, I followed a friend of mine into Larry's dressing room and met the guy. He didn't seem to mind that we were backstage.
Years ago I was helping with a Larry Norman concert in Drachten. Many bands have all kind of demands. He had no demands at all, and asked politely for a sandwich and a coca-cola. Afterwards when we were cleaning up Larry came from the dressing room and sat down with us and chatted with several people. I had a very short chat with him but was too impressed by his presence (he had been my musical hero ever since I was 12 or so) to have a real conversation. I still wish I had some more time and talk a little more. We'll see you in Heaven brother Larry!
This is pure genius! Larry takes the bawdy blues classic about booty-shaking, "The Duck Yas Yas Yas", and morphs it into a song about the importance of righteous living.
I honestly don’t know of any other Christian song artist that so brilliantly cuts through all the BS and hits you straight between the eyes with the truth. I mean you can play this song to the non Christian community and they’d like it.
My father introduced me to the song when I was like 10 years old this would have been back in like 1992 or 93 and I've listened to this song ever since
Long live the Gospel King! RIP Larry!
Amen ! Maranatha! ❤🙏
A message for Right Now (and not just because of the virus!)...
Thank you mr L.

🌪️SOULS💨
Of
SADNESS
City streets
Full of freaks
That play for keeps
With souls of sadness
And pockets full of pain and sorrow
To survive
They have to steal beg or borrow
Nothing new under the sun
Somewhere in their past
They’ve come undone
That took away all the fun
Another day just to exist
Feeling anger feeling pissed
Thoughts of hatred
They can’t resist
Forever wishing
Forever wishing
That the eastern wind
Would blow away their sins
Yeah
Forever wishing
Forever wishing
That the eastern wind
Would blow away their sins
DLT
Thanks for posting the full version! :)

Hey, Greg....Do you any one who can deliver this message to Bob Dylan. To cover this song on his next and probably his last release. Without the emotion-and a four minute version. I know he historically cranks out he own music. This song does fit his current lifestyle. It should be on it.
orrjamesjames Don't worry about what you think Bob "needs" to hear.
Just pray for him and mind your business.
@@seanmoore1068 Bob was a very overt on fire Christian that from all appearances needs to come back to Jesus. We really should reach out to those who have fallin from the faith and of course pray for then too. James 5:19-20, Gal.6:1.
Uh, great song....terrible video. Is it possible to be more obvious? Leave a little room for personal thought.
shut your eyes...lotta work went into producing the images to compliment the music....incredible job..so dont look at it if you cannot enjoy the video...just listen...
listened to his lies, was fooled by his charm... like larry's fans...
what doyou mean ,
Would he have had a different life if he would not have had the airplane incident- overhead cargo bay opened and heavy luggage landed on his head. That's the story I've read at least. Apparently affected his mental capacities in some ways. Was this something that led to his averent behaviour? Still like his music!
@@geescravi Personally, as significant the airplane accident was and how it affected his creativity, there were a number of other things in Larry's life that were somewhat off the rail, starting before the accident. It gets pretty complicated very fast. Some people (as those who did the film the Outlaw Larry Norman) over-simply things and simply refer to him as a narcissist, manipulator, control freak and outright shyster. I will not get into what he is accused of. I do know none of us are perfect. Am I excusing Larry? No. We are also responsible for our decisions and actions. Larry hurt a number of people, mostly those who were close to him. It's sad really. But are we so without sin, that we dare cast stones at him and disregard the grace and mercy available to us all through Jesus Christ. Although he found inspiration from various sources and even "copied" others (a form of tribute I would think) Larry's music was focused on Jesus Christ and living righteously for Him personally and as a church. Through his creativity and music he gave us a profound gift, regardless of his flaws and failings. I never knew the man personally, though I met him once. But his music and production values changed Christian music and provided a new form of evangelism that didn't exist quite in the same way. I love his music and his zealous nature (not unlike Keith Green), but I do NOT idolize the man. He had serious problems. But thank God for his talent and the legacy of his music he left behind.
I reckon your perfect?
@@phrankiebeigh5505 You're
I liked Larry's music better in the early days when he was copying Beatles, Dylan and Leon Russell tunes. These blues/rock songs that he did from time to time are kind of soul-less. He was pretty decent in concert, but kind of a prima donna.
