My dad passed away last night, it was his favourite band! We used sit down together drink whisky, listen to this and cry! What a fucking great song and band! R.I.P Dad
I never knew my dad. I turned 18 my Mom left my town to be with her friend and have children. Suddenlyhad the opportunity to live with him and find out what kind of person he was. Finally when I was about to find what was missing from my life we couldn't see each other even when we were two Chambers away. Was it me or something was really wrong. This song reminds me of my route to seek what I never had but maybe I must search for what I must fight for...
The great metal/rock musicians appreciate them. Metallica, Megadeth, Iron maiden, Van Halen, and Soundgarden have covered their songs. If Metallica hadn't made covers from Budgie, I had never found them. They became quite well-known after Metallica released Garage Inc.
It’s sad being a young man, enjoying only 60s and 70s music, watching my favourite artists pass on and never having the opportunity to hear them live. Rest in Peace Burke.. I discovered your music shortly after your passing but the tunes will live on, through me at the very least.
Budgie was huge in Poland. I remember my 80s high school time home parties. Budgie and alcohol were always there. So refreshing, unique, new experiences in those grey times. We were intoxicated by their music. Memories for life and soundtrack of my young years. RIP Burke Shelley.
Pink Floyd. Also if you like this style of guitar playing, (imitating other sounds) I'd recommend listening to Adrian Belew, who is very well known for this kind of stuff. He can make his guitar wail like an elephant and many other stuff
Started listening to Budgie as a teen in San Antonio now at age 54 I love to listen to this song riding my motorcycle thru the piney woods of East Texas
Saw their logo on some guys shirt the other day and decided to check them out. My jaw is in the floor. Why aren't these guys as famous as Sabbath or Deep Purple?
@@purplestuff not every band back then got a shot to be as big as Black Sabbath or Deep Purple and we're completely buried by an industry that wanted the next Robert Plant.
R.I.P. Burke Shelley. Such a magnificent bassist, and just as powerful of a singer. Every time I listen to this song in particular it brings me to the verge of tears. Budgie truly shaped what would become heavy metal just as much as bands like Black Sabbath did, and it's criminal that they still aren't as well know!
My w Polsce znamy ich od 1972 roku kochaliśmy ich muzykę warsztat muzyczny byli unas w Polsce kilka razy na koncertach. Asz się wierzyć niechce jak tak doskonała grupa nie była popularna i doceniana w Wielkiej Brytanii. Mam 72 lata i nigdy ich talentu nie zapomnę Panie świetny świec nad dusza Bukiego
Przy takiej muzyce poznałem moja pierwszą dziewczynę. Miałem wtedy 17 lat i piękne długie włosy po pas. Włosy wypadły..., ale dziewczyna pozostała ta sama. Jest moją moją wspaniałą żona do dziś i tą jedyną dziewczyną w życiu... już 38 lat.
Yeah, from as far as Florida USA (formerly Warsaw Poland) . So sad this great band is so badly underrated ! I have seen them live back in Poland in 80s. It was like a dream experience seeing band like this from behind an "Iron Curtain".
I grew up on this band and so Budgie is just a part of me. I am 19 now and fully learning to respect and appreciate music and Budgie is honestly my favorite band. Any chance I get I gush about them to people I know if they have never heard of them. Budgie will always be a huge part of my life and if I have kids I am also going to raise them on Budgie
Stanislav Nocon prawda? Dzisiaj zupełnie nie tworzy się już takiej muzyki. Budgie było dość specyficzne. Led Zeppelin znalezli naśladowców, ale nie słyszałam nic co by choć trochę przypominało styl Budgie.
I wonder why this is the only rendition of this song. It's such a great song. And not one person has bothered to cover it. Granted it is a long song. But it's fucking beautiful. A great piece of work.
25+ years ago, a curious girl would rummage through various vinyls and cassettes my grandfather accrued when he worked for MCA, discovering all sorts of music. I'll never forget stumbling across Budgie, and how their music spoke to me. This band has, and will continue to stick with me. Man, I love this band.
You were lucky to have him as a grandfather. You couldn't have been exposed to better music! I've loved Budgie since their first album came out. I had an English boyfriend who turned me on to them. I'll always be grateful for that.
Hunter sun its just quality music it hits and takes you somewhere far off without leaving your space where you sit stand or lay welcome to 101 the science of soul travel buckle up and enjoy the ride and listen on
My mum gave me this vinyl along with some others from her collection. I'll admit to not having heard of Budgie, but i loved the album cover so stuck it straight onto my turntable. Got through the whole album and loved the Black Sabbath style. Great songs. Then this song came on. All i can say is wow, just wow. Utterly stunning lyrics and vocal delivery. That guitar solo too! Beautiful. I couldnt believe Burke Shelley was a man though! Such a feminine voice. 10/10 from me
I commented on this amazing band recently and then I figured icomment was fair and precise. They grabbed my sences but tonight I'm for the most part without words. Timeless poetic and very original.
My mum and dad divorced when i was 6, and I went to live with my mum a long way away from my dad. Im 21 now, and due to some difficult family stuff, ive had to live with my dad (for the first time since then) for the past year. Im moving away from him tommorow to start my own life, and im just listening to this song and crying. Life is a beautifully and devastatingly emotional thing. Peace.
i do hope that you are safe and have been able to find a home to start your life but most of all what i hope most of l in this world that you do find someone to love and that they love you in return. one more when you remember anytime , anywhere be grateful for at least 3 things in your life or for even the love you found
In 1978 I was 13 years old, a friend had the album Best of Budgie, he put it on and I was hooked. He said to me "ever heard of Budgie", of course I hadn't. I bought the album myself, I am now 55 and I don't know how many times I have repeated "have you ever heard of Budgie". Every single person I have played Budgie to fall in love with it. I have two kids,21 and 24 and they both love Budgie, plus everything else I listen to, Sabbath, Priest,TOOL, Led Zep, you name it they love it. Took them to see Sabs last show in 2013 and to TOOL Feb this year. I am so blessed to have kids that love what their dad listens to. My father was a Johnny Mathis fan, so you can imagine his horror when I played my stuff :( Dad and I were best friends and work mates for 40 years, never could convert him, but I have it with my kids. Truly blessed for that.
Same as me ...13 in '78. First saw budgie at Hammersmith oden at 14! Last saw them at Colchester a few years back. Our local pub even has a few budgie tracks on their jukebox!!
That was my first Budgie album as well. Went on to get them all. Saw them twice, once at reading festival 79 or 80. Great band. I’m still listening to them aged 58
A great live band that I was lucky enough to see a few times back in the 70's, from one of my favourite albums. This IMO, one of the greatest underrated rock songs of the 1970's
One of the best bands that somehow never made the big time.It just blows me away that they didnt because they definately were good enough and they have a sound that is kick ass and uniquely there own.
Sorrow, sadness, nostalgii in my heart.... Remainds me my Parents....One of the best rocks ballads of all time....Look back to my life, my heart, my memories, my soul.....I'ts so much beautiful...God Bless them...
Today, June the 21st, I finally brought home my very first Budgie record. I discovered this band earlier this year and they quickly became one of my favourites. This record travelled all the way from England to southern Italy. Surely a 2nd Budgie record will follow
Gdy na świecie Budgie był mało znaną i niedocenianym zespołem, w Polsce był uwielbiany i miał rzesze fanów, do nich zaliczałem się ja, nigdy nie zapomnę koncertu na Torwarze, mimo że akustyka była kiepska, ja odpływałem...
Tez bylem. To bylo przezycie! Pewnie byles tez na Nazareth i Slade w tamtych latach. Tych ostatnich nie widzialem, bo bylem"w kamaszach". Brat byl... nosili ich po koncercie na barkach("na barana").
Mieliśmy wspaniałych prezenterów radiowych. Trochę się to posypało ale cóż, znak czasów. Ja z kolei chodziłem w każdy piątek po południu do klubu "Pod przewiązką" w Krakowie. Tam zawsze na dobrym sprzęcie Skarżyński puszczał doskonałą muzyką poprzedzając ją kilkoma słowami wprowadzenia w nastrój. Raz był w klubie Piotr Kaczkowski. Po tym spotkaniu miałem pęknięte żebro, ale nie żałowałem. Fajna muzyka naszych czasów.
this song is so emotional, especially the last verse...it really sums up those feelings of reflection and taking those close to you for granted...until they are gone...
I met these guys in Cardiff capital Hotel in 95. It was the 25years reunion. All the band were there past and present. They were a great bunch of down to earth lads doing what they love doing. Always a big fan of this great band.
interesting, did they tour the USA before 1976? I find it interesting the timing because shortly after Judas Priest releases the album Point of Entry... it sounds like they had some influence from Budgie, specially from the song "Pyramids" from 1973
"Budgie" is The Soundtrack of my youth! This song, "Parents" is a Masterpiece! Thank you for uploading! Cheers! From the precious Tampa Bay, Florida! 🎸🎸🎸👋👍
słuchałem to z kumplami w latach 70 tych. Teraz przypomina mi młodość. Nie ma tego wykonawcy ani na spotify , ani na apple music tylko na You Tube. Super,że gdzieś jeszcze jest.
Ja kupilem ich CDs, jakie tylko moglem "dorwac"! Czesc na gieldzie plyt w Orlando i Tampa (Floryda) od Niemca i Anglika, reszte przyslal mi koles z Niemiec. W Polsce chyba tez cos kupilem...Pozdrowienia dla fanatykow!
How I love this song. It had such an impact on me when I first heard it many years ago, and I still love it just as much today. I love the fade out ending where the guitars are imitating gulls squawking, which is because they heard gulls all the time in their native coastal home in Wales.
Born in 1969, got to know them through this CD in 1986 in Korea where few people knew Budgie at the time, saw them at London Astoria in 2003, and still listening in 2020...
Got introduced to this track by a guy I met at work a few months back and I'm so glad he got me into this, immediately into my top 10 songs ever, can't not listen to this beautiful track don't need to be from the era to appreciate genius
Seems I'm not alone, having listened to rock music for over 40 years and never heard of Budgie until recently. What a talented band and excellent song! They definitely should be more popular than they were. I never liked the radio because they played the same stuff over and over and over.....
Hidden gems over shadowed by Led Zeppelin,The WHO, The Rolling Stones, and Black Sabbath unfortunately.. but those of us the got turned on to them found Billy Thorpe and many others.. keep listening.. rock is eternal..
Dieser Song spricht wirklich für sich selbst. Die Liebe zu den Eltern offenbart sich manchmal wirklich erst, wenn Sie nicht mehr da sind ! Leider. For the english Guys and Ladies: THis song speaks for itself really. The love for the parents we really understand is, when they are dead ! Thx for upload.
I'm Polish-Australian IMHO Parents is the best ever written and sang song in the rock history. In fact I am Polish and this kind of music is giving incredible emotional thrill to Slavic soul. 40 years listening and never bored. It's incredible!!!!!!.
Nie było by nas tutaj , gdyby nie wielka radiowa postać. To ON pokazuje nam muzykę , ON nam ja tłumaczy , ON nas nia zachwyca. Trzech jest juz pod wrażeniem. Panie Piotrze duzo zdrowia.
Tears in my eyes listening to this and reading the comments. Discovered Budgie when they supported Ozzy on Blizzard of Oz tour 1982 I think. Saw them in Coventry with schoolmates. Amazing band and songs, still so good now. God bless Burke and rest of the band, and all listening in 2020!
My favourite song from that awesome band. The seagulls echoing the rythm of the solo at the end is just something... so amazing! give me the chills and reminds me why I love rock and roll so much. What a band dudes, what a band.
This song blew my mind and Tony Bourges guitar work was a huge part of that; at a time I was drowning myself in guitar players, he jumped into my Top 3, and stayed there 💕 He's an amazing guitar player
Ok, he is a good guitar player, I’ll give him that.. But the most underrated ever? That dubious title only applies to one man.. His name is Frank Marino.
One of the greatest bands of that era. They influenced so many well known bands of today. So versatile and the lead guitarist, Shelly Bourg, I think his name is...absolutely brilliant.
i first heard this track in the summer of 1976 in a friends car coming back from a Queen gig in Edinburgh i had never heard of Budgie untill then. I can remember being speachless after hearing it...... one of the most astonishing bits of music i have ever heard then and now.Thanks Burke what a talent you are.
so hey, i got into budgie around 9 months ago when my friend came to and asked if i'd ever heard of them, i said no so he show's me the song breadfan, and fuck me! i couldn't believe that this band wasn't really known, they're now one of my favourite bands and i just bought 3 of the albums on vinyl and the 1973-1975 mca cd box set and i'm fucking ecstatic, i need to find more underappreciated bands like this to add to my collection!
When I was a little boy They would say to me Don't go in the world and play It's bad company All they had was child and faith Let him grow and let him wait Just to find out what it was to be free But now I'm over twenty one Growing up I've had my fun And I know it's got to be Baby lying in a womb Are you free or in a tomb Let me in, I feel I want to cry. Oh the road is long Oh the road is long Come on back, back. Wash your hands and up to bed Mind your manners Or you're dead Mind the cars cos you've got school on Monday Put my trust in God Who is he I know not what Something mummy said one Sunday. Maybe love is life but life is not It's something I need plenty of. Oh! I wish I'd died and never lived a day. Now there's no one near me now Tell me what to do and how Take me back and sing my cares away. Take me let me sing my cares away Oh! the road is there Oh that road is there Come on back, back. Oh! I'm empty now Rainy pain has left me now. Think of what my people used to say. Black is black and white is white Which to choose and which is right Guide me to a place where I can stay. Wrap me up and keep me warm Hide myself far from the storm Sleep and love will keep my mind at rest. Only now I realise what my parents had to try. Love you all and keep you all my life. Oh that road is there Oh the road is there Come on back, back

Really it's always been a favourite since I discovered it which was in 1981 so it was 7years old by then.
@@Rekko82 Budgie->Breadfan
@@myboythom the only budgie song I don't really like I think is Allison m
One of the most underrated hard rock/metal bands to come out of the 1970's, they should have been in the same league as Sabbath, Purple, Zeppelin IMHO
They are.
Agreed!!
Definitely
+1
It was because of Burke Shelley's squeaky high voice that they never made it that big.
It’s sad being a young man, enjoying only 60s and 70s music, watching my favourite artists pass on and never having the opportunity to hear them live. Rest in Peace Burke.. I discovered your music shortly after your passing but the tunes will live on, through me at the very least.
Eehh. There's other stuff you just gotta did like Earthless. I think you'll like them
Saw them Live 1976 SA Texas. Wish I was 14 again.

Dave Gilmour, Pink Floyd, Echoes !971.
Check out "One Way Donkey Ride" by Whipersnapper

What a find , they didn't sell their soul because they should be up there with Zeppelin, Stones, Sabbath , xcertra
Pink Floyd.
Also if you like this style of guitar playing, (imitating other sounds) I'd recommend listening to Adrian Belew, who is very well known for this kind of stuff. He can make his guitar wail like an elephant and many other stuff
First year without Burke and my Welsh heart bleeds a little more without him. Rest easy, fy ffrind.
awesome comment for a great tune!, shout out from Liverpool. i grieve with you my friend 😎
Oh well! Better than the Burke & hare ( Victoria Heskith not much bester! Lol )x)

I wouldn't want to hear a cover. Budgie did it perfectly!

I think this is a hard bitch to play- thats why no one covered it ( properly)

Would do it justice

Today, June the 21st, I finally brought home my very first Budgie record. I discovered this band earlier this year and they quickly became one of my favourites. This record travelled all the way from England to southern Italy. Surely a 2nd Budgie record will follow
Their catologue is amazing
☮️
z taką muzyką się rodzić,z taką umierać.Byli ze mną w trudnych,przełomowych chwilach,dzisiaj towarzyszą mi zawsze w chwilach zwątpienia.
Same here
☮️🙏
One of the best rock songs ever....top 10
Budgie Budgie Budgie Budgie ! Words cannot explain how talented you guys are.. I love you & your music ! come back!
kocham ten utwór
To Ty "stara baba" jesteś. Pozdrawiam - całuję.
RIP Burke, one of the greats. This is was my brothers favourite track and used to play it on Sunday mornings and wake the whole house!!
☮️
Ok,słucham dziś,słucham jutro, będę słuchać ich zawsze.
The Budgie track... Tony Bourge must be the greatest unsung guitar player of all time.
Just perfection, this is real music
Gdy na świecie Budgie był mało znaną i niedocenianym zespołem, w Polsce był uwielbiany i miał rzesze fanów, do nich zaliczałem się ja, nigdy nie zapomnę koncertu na Torwarze, mimo że akustyka była kiepska, ja odpływałem...
Tez bylem. To bylo przezycie! Pewnie byles tez na Nazareth i Slade w tamtych latach. Tych ostatnich nie widzialem, bo bylem"w kamaszach". Brat byl... nosili ich po koncercie na barkach("na barana").
W Polsce byl znany dzieki radiowej "Trojce". Z tym mielismy szczescie i znamy (prawie) wszystkie kapele z tamtych lat.
Mieliśmy wspaniałych prezenterów radiowych. Trochę się to posypało ale cóż, znak czasów. Ja z kolei chodziłem w każdy piątek po południu do klubu "Pod przewiązką" w Krakowie. Tam zawsze na dobrym sprzęcie Skarżyński puszczał doskonałą muzyką poprzedzając ją kilkoma słowami wprowadzenia w nastrój. Raz był w klubie Piotr Kaczkowski. Po tym spotkaniu miałem pęknięte żebro, ale nie żałowałem. Fajna muzyka naszych czasów.
A na koncercie Slade byłem w hali Wisły. Super było. Wyszedłem głuchy.
Pozdrowionka zza "wielkiej wody". Pewnie ze chodzilo sie na rozne imprezy i wydawalo czasami calomiesieczna kase na muzyke.
Dziś naszła mnie ochota, ze by sprawdzić, co u nich... I jak grom z jasnego nieba ta wiadomość. Taka szkoda, że tak w końcu być musi. Słucham Parents.
R.I.P.

☮️🙏
Rest in peace Burke Shelley. Thanks for all the great songs and your time in Budgie.
Love how the guitars sound like birds...Budgie's if you will.
I was lucky to hear them in early 70ties... Still do cannot understand why the world did not recognized them... Masterpiece, will never get old
Underrated as hell.
this song is so emotional, especially the last verse...it really sums up those feelings of reflection and taking those close to you for granted...until they are gone...
Jeśli tak, to jest nadzieja, że prawdziwa muzyka nie umrze i może dzieci naszych dzieci będą jej słuchać
These guys are so underrated. So proud to be Welsh.
so are the manic street preachers. Different but great.
Too right butt. Should have outsold Sabbath zeppelin and purple
Alright butt. Fully agree.
I met these guys in Cardiff capital Hotel in 95. It was the 25years reunion. All the band were there past and present. They were a great bunch of down to earth lads doing what they love doing. Always a big fan of this great band.
Great Welsh band 🏴
Never forgot Budgie , my first concert back in 76 San Antonio TX. What a trip. Brings back cool memories. Man What a beautiful song.
Go SA
interesting, did they tour the USA before 1976? I find it interesting the timing because shortly after Judas Priest releases the album Point of Entry... it sounds like they had some influence from Budgie, specially from the song "Pyramids" from 1973
Where did they perform at?
Thanks, Joe Anthony
☮️
Sunken Gardens in 1977, as I recall, @@samrodriguez315
So peaceful, lovely listening. Budgie are an incredible band.
I was 15 when i heard this song.., still i love it
Now i´m 58
,same here sir
I would love to hear Shirley Bassey sing this ;)
One of the greatest Budgie track what they ever made. Real awesome and mind blowing. Good job.
Welsh band from Cardiff,I grew up hearing this band,Alex Harvey Band etc etc
Awesome still to this day.Thank you for the share.
I can't quit listening to this song. RIP Burke Shelley 🙏
"Budgie" is The Soundtrack of my youth! This song, "Parents" is a Masterpiece! Thank you for uploading! Cheers! From the precious Tampa Bay, Florida! 🎸🎸🎸👋👍
słuchałem to z kumplami w latach 70 tych. Teraz przypomina mi młodość. Nie ma tego wykonawcy ani na spotify , ani na apple music tylko na You Tube. Super,że gdzieś jeszcze jest.
+Zbigniew Łątka ok dzieki ze nam powiedziales
Ja kupilem ich CDs, jakie tylko moglem "dorwac"! Czesc na gieldzie plyt w Orlando i Tampa (Floryda) od Niemca i Anglika, reszte przyslal mi koles z Niemiec. W Polsce chyba tez cos kupilem...Pozdrowienia dla fanatykow!
I've listened to Budgie from the very beginning. Love their music. They really should have been recognized world wide. They're terribly underrated.
Masterpiece
How I love this song. It had such an impact on me when I first heard it many years ago, and I still love it just as much today. I love the fade out ending where the guitars are imitating gulls squawking, which is because they heard gulls all the time in their native coastal home in Wales.
Born in 1969, got to know them through this CD in 1986 in Korea where few people knew Budgie at the time, saw them at London Astoria in 2003, and still listening in 2020...
Wspaniały zespół ,z moich młodych lat 70.
R.I.P Burke Shelley, I hope his spirit is well, wherever he is.
RIP Burke. Listening to this, my favourite Budgie song and remembering how truly great this band was.
Got introduced to this track by a guy I met at work a few months back and I'm so glad he got me into this, immediately into my top 10 songs ever, can't not listen to this beautiful track don't need to be from the era to appreciate genius
Seems I'm not alone, having listened to rock music for over 40 years and never heard of Budgie until recently. What a talented band and excellent song! They definitely should be more popular than they were. I never liked the radio because they played the same stuff over and over and over.....
Hidden gems over shadowed by Led Zeppelin,The WHO, The Rolling Stones, and Black Sabbath unfortunately.. but those of us the got turned on to them found Billy Thorpe and many others.. keep listening.. rock is eternal..

I'm 23. My Mum's friend worked for the drummer. Inspired me to listen. Makes me proud to be Welsh so amazing.
Dieser Song spricht wirklich für sich selbst. Die Liebe zu den Eltern offenbart sich manchmal wirklich erst, wenn Sie nicht mehr da sind ! Leider.
For the english Guys and Ladies: THis song speaks for itself really. The love for the parents we really understand is, when they are dead ! Thx for upload.
I'm Polish-Australian IMHO Parents is the best ever written and sang song in the rock history. In fact I am Polish and this kind of music is giving incredible emotional thrill to Slavic soul. 40 years listening and never bored. It's incredible!!!!!!.
I feel the same. Altough my grandfather was Hungarian but I am Polish.
Leszek Wegrzyn fajnie widzieć, że ktoś się do polskości nie boi przyznać - gratulacje
aiwaplatz też jestem Polką :-) Polacy słuchali kiedyś dobrej muzyki, i nadal wielu z nich słucha :-)
Paweł Ciszak
pozdrowlienia from your slawic brother- cheers
I discovered Budgie when I was 15 way back in 1980. I still listen to them on a weekly basis,can't get enough of them,
Beksiński eh ...
Ja tez od Niego...
Nie było by nas tutaj , gdyby nie wielka radiowa postać. To ON pokazuje nam muzykę , ON nam ja tłumaczy , ON nas nia zachwyca. Trzech jest juz pod wrażeniem. Panie Piotrze duzo zdrowia.
No ale niestety się zesrało. Szkoda minimaxa. Trójka już od 15-20 lat zdychała. "Lecz się pocieszmy prawdą tą", że muza będzie wieczna. Pozdrowienia
i dodać do tego Pana Wojtka i Pana Marka i .. tamte czasy Trójki - tylko dzięki nim i niej można było poznać .... muzykę
Tak dokładnie...gdy Tomek Beksiński odszedł pozostał tylko Piotr...
Tears in my eyes listening to this and reading the comments. Discovered Budgie when they supported Ozzy on Blizzard of Oz tour 1982 I think. Saw them in Coventry with schoolmates. Amazing band and songs, still so good now. God bless Burke and rest of the band, and all listening in 2020!
1976 manchester, blown away, best couple of quid i ever spent
My favourite song from that awesome band. The seagulls echoing the rythm of the solo at the end is just something... so amazing! give me the chills and reminds me why I love rock and roll so much. What a band dudes, what a band.
Tony Bourge! One of the most underrated rock guitarists ever!
Agreed. I love his overdubbed guitars at the end which are intentionally imitating gulls squawking.
This song blew my mind and Tony Bourges guitar work was a huge part of that; at a time I was drowning myself in guitar players, he jumped into my Top 3, and stayed there 💕
He's an amazing guitar player
I totally agree budgie are underrated what a band and brilliant live
He has the gift for sure, like Blackmore.
Ok, he is a good guitar player, I’ll give him that.. But the most underrated ever? That dubious title only applies to one man.. His name is Frank Marino.
Best Rock band that most people have never heard of..
One of the greatest bands of that era. They influenced so many well known bands of today. So versatile and the lead guitarist, Shelly Bourg, I think his name is...absolutely brilliant.
Tony Bourge
☮️
Tony Bourge's guitar is something really special on this
i first heard this track in the summer of 1976 in a friends car coming back from a Queen gig in Edinburgh i had never heard of Budgie untill then. I can remember being speachless after hearing it...... one of the most astonishing bits of music i have ever heard then and now.Thanks Burke what a talent you are.
so hey, i got into budgie around 9 months ago when my friend came to and asked if i'd ever heard of them, i said no so he show's me the song breadfan, and fuck me! i couldn't believe that this band wasn't really known, they're now one of my favourite bands and i just bought 3 of the albums on vinyl and the 1973-1975 mca cd box set and i'm fucking ecstatic, i need to find more underappreciated bands like this to add to my collection!
Am I the only one who fells a little sorrow in the heart when listen this song?
+Melchi Zedeq No you aren't
+Shore Drift Reminds me of my lost youth
Melchi Zedeq that's the magic of the song
So do I!
heartbreaking as fuck
When I was a little boy
They would say to me
Don't go in the world and play
It's bad company
All they had was child and faith
Let him grow and let him wait
Just to find out what it was to be free
But now I'm over twenty one
Growing up I've had my fun
And I know it's got to be
Baby lying in a womb
Are you free or in a tomb
Let me in,
I feel I want to cry.
Oh the road is long
Oh the road is long
Come on back, back.
Wash your hands and up to bed
Mind your manners
Or you're dead
Mind the cars cos you've got school on Monday
Put my trust in God
Who is he I know not what
Something mummy said one Sunday.
Maybe love is life but life is not
It's something I need plenty of.
Oh! I wish I'd died and never lived a day.
Now there's no one near me now
Tell me what to do and how
Take me back and sing my cares away.
Take me let me sing my cares away
Oh! the road is there
Oh that road is there
Come on back, back.
Oh! I'm empty now
Rainy pain has left me now.
Think of what my people used to say.
Black is black and white is white
Which to choose and which is right
Guide me to a place where I can stay.
Wrap me up and keep me warm
Hide myself far from the storm
Sleep and love will keep my mind at rest.
Only now I realise what my parents had to try.
Love you all and keep you all my life.
Oh that road is there
Oh the road is there
Come on back, back
thank you
lol, you also posted lyrics on a soen video.
wheres the rest of the lyrics ! :-(
Ian Robertson
I think they are ok now.:)
Thank you :-) x
This song put my daughter to sleep, so many sleepless nights it brings a tear to my eye rembering
This is undoubtedly the greatest work of this band
I shed a tear listening to this song.
i wish i could, i want to cry but i can't
every single time...........
Ernest, the only thing sadder than someone who cries easily is someone who cannot cry at all.
why
I do...everytime!
Timeless.
kol 7omos lol
This song along with "Young is a world" sure influenced "Run of the mill"
How great is this band? What a gorgeous epic masterpiece this song is. So sad it’s one that has to be discovered decades later.
