Feeling a little unwell with Covid. Lying down with the sun on my face listening to a mix of Robbie Basho through my Bluetooth hearing aids. I was suddenly elevated to another space and my soul has now been fed. In my semi conscious state I don’t think I have had music enter me so powerfully on a whole before .Just blew me away
I started listening to Blue Crystal Fire, which led to Night way then Moving up a ways. Finishing on this Wounded Knee. If you want to feel transformed immense yourself in these songs. Probably the best I’ve ever heard.
I enjoy the refreshing timbre of his voice and unusual structure of his music. Something you’re not likely to find in star worshipping popular music of today.
Just watched the documentary about him. I stumbled on Basho some years ago, heard I think five or six albums in total. But he had over a dozen?! Like fourteen or some other prolific number. Some people say it's a shame he died so young. Well, he composed more than a lifetime's worth of music, so it's not like he wasted any time in that regard. What is sad, however, were his infrequent expressions of severe loneliness he would occasionally share with some of his students. I think we all can say his music would have soared to new heights had he found the woman of his dreams. I think it goes to show that while art is certainly an important part of life, it isn't the end all. (I should really take my own advice here.) The world did not deprive him of any love. He deprived himself. I say this with absolute respect and adoration, of course. The man has affected me in such a way no other artist of any medium ever has before. It just breaks my heart is all.
@@deinVater9983 I got a copy of it on ebay. It was a library copy but I kept the sticker on it because it was from the baltimore county library which is where he grew up
mahalo nui loa for sharing this recording of my ultimate favorite Basho song ! when he was inspired, he was brilliant = i wish there were more CD recordings of his best work - like this masterpiece !!! every time i hear it, it gives me chills right thru my soul.
@gypsyguitars you're welcome :) . Send me a message if you'd like me to share the album .. unless you just meant you wish there were more CDs in print, in which case i agree !!! A brilliant musician
Those lyrics are in the liner notes to the album this is from also if you just google Robbie Basho Wounded Knee lyrics there’s plenty of results for the full lyrics to this song. Hope that helps.
@@swagalicious34 for some reason all the lyrics websites give "Walking in the Wind and the Driving Rain In my Heart is an Aching Pain" but it's just a translation, not what we're hearing
I've been searching for that too, George. I'm going to assume it's Native American, to fit the theme of the song? I have no clue, though. Lemme know if you've found anything. I would love to understand all the layers of Basho's music.
@@gray9877 Learn Tuvan, just as good. Use Mango languages. Also, take a look at a band called Alash. I recommend the song Oglumga, gimme about n hour or so n I'll fetch you the lyrics. Believe it or not, every sound you hear (bar instruments) comes from their throat.

Gives you goosebumps ay? @@nevillegriffiths4395
@@nevillegriffiths4395Bless you.
One of his best songs honestly. Surprised it doesn’t have as many views as some of his stuff.
No mere troubador.Ancient souls , their voices ,find a portal in Basho.
Eternal Reoccurrence 🌿❤️ Here is my mark.
Where there is passion, I will be there.
Robbie is so weird but I cant stop listening to him. Definitly plugged into something other wordly. Very expressive and skillful.
Weird? This sounds so organic and natural! What I find weird is all this modern, soulless sonic garbage on the radio.
I enjoy the refreshing timbre of his voice and unusual structure of his music. Something you’re not likely to find in star worshipping popular music of today.
hope you are still there.
I agree. I love his stuff but it still seems so "weird". Anyone I've shown him to doesn't dig it at all. Makes me wonder whats dif with me?
Weirds good you AI Bot cunt

I find it very depressing how little to no one has heard of him, a silent hero like Paul Kossoff and Danny Kirwan
Do you know what the documentary is called? I need to watch it.

@@bryceallen7986 I looked it up and I can't find where to watch it. Where did you watch it?

My favorite musician of all time. My inspiration. And my connection to humanity is just so crazily similar.
My dad has it in vinyl, was exposed to Robbie as a toddler and was mesmerized, thanks for posting! ,
Your dad has superb taste in musik.
I remember my mom playing Joni Mitchell, The Cure, and Peter Tosh when I was a little dude. (1996-2000) Im 23 now.
god , what an amazing voice , never mind the guitar..
Majestic.
Amazing voice. Taken too soon.
Woowwwww so happy to have just found this gem of a musician!!
Whoa! What a singer!
Unreal
The mighty Precious James from obscurity the most underrated singer and composure...
I dont know nothing about this man
but just amazing
I got this on CD. A rare find!
Amazing!
Sublime (y)
yes, it would be great to have the whole LP posted !
& yes, i wish this LP was on CD !!!
mahalo nui loa for sharing this recording of my ultimate favorite Basho song !

every time i hear it, it gives me chills right thru my soul.
Do you know what he is saying from 0:37 - 0:48? If so please let me know and what language it is.
Many thanks,
George
@@georgeharper7676 not sure, but. I feel as though he singing about the wounded knee massacre, that effected native Indian Americans. So It's Lakota
Amazing
nice profile pic btw.
Mesmerizing, reminds me of "the incredible string band " in style ? Not for most ,yet so much for some . I think the most are afraid !
i heard this while smoking pot and it made me think about trains. But there arent any trains in the song.
@gypsyguitars you're welcome :) . Send me a message if you'd like me to share the album .. unless you just meant you wish there were more CDs in print, in which case i agree !!! A brilliant musician
Mighty thanks for uploading..
Anyone know which language he's singing in this song, and how to translate it? Much love fellow Bashovians.
It’s almost certainly a Lakota dialect given the subject matter.
Those lyrics are in the liner notes to the album this is from also if you just google Robbie Basho Wounded Knee lyrics there’s plenty of results for the full lyrics to this song.
Hope that helps.
@@swagalicious34 for some reason all the lyrics websites give "Walking in the Wind and the Driving
Rain
In my Heart is an Aching Pain"
but it's just a translation, not what we're hearing
@@gwenhdalhnot sure what you mean sorry? I think Robbie himself did the liner notes for the album.
I can't find the liner notes or the lyrics anywhere@@swagalicious34
Good,
Does anyone know the lyrics from 0:37 - 0:48 looking to see what language it is and what he is saying
I've been searching for that too, George. I'm going to assume it's Native American, to fit the theme of the song? I have no clue, though. Lemme know if you've found anything. I would love to understand all the layers of Basho's music.
@@gray9877 It is a Native American language, which one I don't know.
He sings it in english once in the Rainbow Thunder version of it!
@@georgeharper7676 very cool. Would love to learn which specific language it is for sure, just for kicks. Robbie is one helluvan artist.

Believe it or not, every sound you hear (bar instruments) comes from their throat.
@@georgeharper7676 I would say its almost certainly one of the Lakota (Sioux) Dialects considering the subject matter?
are there any videos of a live performance? i'd love to see basho in action.
