    "The Ostrich" We'll stick our heads into the sand, just pretend that all is grand and hope that everything turns out okay.

    I saw them in concert around 1985 in Beaumont Texas. John Kay was the singer. And The Guess Who opened. Great show.

    Thanks for the great reaction. This one is a highly underrated gem in their collection and it has always spoken to me as well.

    I would suggest "Rock Me" or "Sookie, Sookie" as the next song from Steppenwolf.

      In 1970 Steppenwolf was considered the thinking man's rock band. Some of the lyrics in their songs are as relevant today as they were 50 years ago.

    Still pulling for a reaction to "Monster". Talk about meaningful lyrics, "Monster" is unbelievably good.

    Brother, this is one of their best tunes as is "Monster/Suicide/America", which is an absolute must-listen for you, I believe. GREAT tune and reaction..........

    Great analysis of a great song seemingly only known by us Steppenwolf fanatics. One of John Kay’s best songs. You do a great job of breaking down some pretty deep lyrics. This song also is an example of the fantastic interplay of the different instruments on the first album. John Kay credits drummer Jerry Edmonton for coming up with the unusual time signature in Desperation. The band Place of Skulls does a good cover of this song. Band leader Jason Griffin was a Steppenwolf fanatic too! Next song?; as mentioned, The Ostrich, Monster, also Hippo Stomp, Foggy Mental Breakdown and one of the few rock songs to address organized religion, From Here to There Eventually; brilliant!

    Another great lyricist John Kay (lead vocals & lead guitarist) wrote this song. And you're so right, Biz these lyrics have a powerful message and can even be relevant today. so, here's a suggestion for another song, if interested. "Steppenwolf - Hoochie Coochie Man (Live In Louisville)" (channel: PeutEtreDejaVu) these are some down-home blues.

    I'd like to see your reaction video to Power Play by Steppenwolf...lyrics are so reflective of today, although written in the late 60's/early 70's

    If you like this, you would love the Humble Pie cover.

    Never heard this. Weird because this was my time era.

    Unfortunately for most people, all they've ever heard from Steppenwolf is BTBW and MCR because that's all that radio would play . Those of us that bought the vinyls know that they were much better than that . There are no bad tracks on that first album . Notice the heavy blues influence. From the same album try The Ostrich . It's still relevant 55 years later , as is Monster, from the album of the same name , beware it's over 9 minutes long .

    I hear some Pearl Jam in this song. I don't know if Steppenwolf was an influence on Pearl Jam.

    This is a beautiful song by Steppenwolf. The vocal are heartfelt and the lyrics are deep. I love it.
    However, please listen to the AMAZING cover Humble Pie did on their first album in 1969. It is much more intense with Steve on Hammond organ and Peter on guitar. Steve, Peter and Greg each sing a verse or two. And while Greg and Peter are OK, Steve's vocals just blow them away. He sings his verses with such passion and soul. I won't say one version is better than the other as they are both good, but as always, the Pie make this song their own.
