One of the most underrated prog bands of all time. I even like the way the singer nearly loses his voice in the end It's shameful most people only identity them with Blinded by the Light.
Absolutely sublime. I'm in my 50's and have loved this since the day it came out. He was an exceptional musician in that he had two very successful bands with completely different styles. And both were brilliant.
Lange nach diesem Song gesucht und endlich gefunden. Er ging mir ständig im Kopf rum, gerade wenn es mir nicht so gut ging. Einmaliger Titel ... danke für Upload !!!
Είμαι πολύ υπερήφανος που έχω αυτό το αριστούργημα σε βινύλιο. Τότε που σκάβαμε στο μοναστηράκι στις προσφορές του 7+7 στην υπόγα κάθε Τετάρτη (κάθε Τρίτη έφερνε καινούριο πράμα). Εκεί ανακάλυψα και τα 2 lps των city. :') Ωραία χρόνια...
este tema lo escuchaba mi papa cuando yo era niño ahora yo lo escucho con higos gracias amigo lo anduve buscando por mucho tiempo no sabia como se llamaba el tema gracias
Father of night, Father of day, Father, who taketh the darkness away, Father, who teacheth the bird to fly, Builder of rainbows up in the sky, Father of loneliness and pain, Father of love and Father of rain. Father of day, Father of night, Father of black, Father of white, Father, who build the mountain so high, Who shapeth the cloud up in the sky, Father of time, Father of dreams, Father, who turneth the rivers and streams. Father of grain, Father of wheat, Father of cold and Father of heat, Father of air and Father of trees, Who dwells in our hearts and our memories, Father of minutes, Father of days, Father of whom we most solemnly praise.
'Solar Fire' was an album I played a lot when I was a nipper back in the mid 1970's. Great to hear this track- thanks for uploading it. BTW think that Bob Dylan wrote the original.
I saw Manfred Mann in '74 the night Nixon resigned (Harrisburg Farm Show Arena). They played the intro to Father of Day for a long time. I swore there were angels playing. They played before Blue Oyster Cult and Uriah Heep. I went to see Blue Oyster and Uriah Heep. I have to agree with the other comments, Manfred Mann put on a better show than the others. I was amazed since I was expecting to only hear Mighty Quinn. I hate to think about how long ago that was.
So happy i came across this tune , blinded by the light got me here. gonna buy all their albums , seriously good stuff ahead i can bet . love the backward stuff in this track , great vocals . peace .
I loved this album back it came out and am now hereing this song for first time in decades totally for got it...will have to get the cd and refresh my memries..thanks
@missyourita i am really sorry for your loss,and i share your sad feelings. A dear friend of mine offered me this record on 1979 when we were at university.He died 5 months ago . paul
Just picked this up at Pop's Resale in Lexington KY. I thought $9 was a little steep for a 37 year old vinyl.. Until I listened to it. Album is in mint condition and much more enjoyable than listening to the crap bought off Itunes. My dad got me into 70's rock in the early 90's (when i was about 4-5 ha) and have never turned back. It's albums like this, Jethro Tull's Heavy Horses that make me keep listenin'. Kinda sad that no music is anywhere near this today.
Esto me recuerda a la banda Resto en Cd. Azteca y Rio de Luz Mexico. Cuando el Bicho, El tiburon ( Enrique) , Raymundo, Memo y el Raton era la alineacion original. Resto fue una de las bandas que tocaban buena musica como: Camel, Khan , Manfered Mann y Premiata Forneria Marconi. Era un extasis escucharlos tocar estas rolas en vivo.
![Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Spirits In The Night (1975) [fan video edit]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/mSjJjzFwSr8/mqdefault.jpg)
I listen it since I'm 14 years old, now I'm 57.....
I'm glad I was alive at the time much of this music was made!

38 years ago .... in Ios Island in Greece was playing every night in a rock bar, I think called windmill ... beautiful years
The guitar is great.
Still have Solar Fire, as well as The Good Earth. Very underappreciated pieces of work. Saw them back up Uriah Heep in '74. Very good show.
Nice... I was 15 when I heard this song in 1976... Fantastic!
Another great Bob Dylan-Song !!!
Good music is timeless.
takes me 50 years back!
one of the greatest songs ever produced, i love this album ! its one of my favorites !
Poder escuchar nuevamente esta pieza de Manfred Mann ha sido una gran alegria.
Disfruto tanto esta gran obra
Αριστουργηματικό τραγούδι! Όσες φορές και να το ακούσω δεν το χορταινω! Εκπληκτικοί και στίχοι του Dylan!
Απο τα πιό χαρακτηριστικά τραγούδια της εποχής τότε.Τέλειο
10분에서 1초모자르는 대곡이다.1973년도곡이니 지금으로부터42년전노래인데 웅장하고스토리가있는곡짜임새가 듣기좋다. 내가이노래를듣기시작하게된동기는 어느날 유투브에서 락발라드여러곡을듣던중 기타솔로연주가 인상이깊은곡이나와 알게됬는데 이 노래중간에나오는 일텍트릭기타연주가너무좋아서이다...많은기타솔로곡을들었는데 이곡역시 또다른느낌으로다가오는 명곡이라고생각이든다.
Absolutely sublime. I'm in my 50's and have loved this since the day it came out. He was an exceptional musician in that he had two very successful bands with completely different styles. And both were brilliant.
the hammond organ gives me goosebumps!!!!!what a song!!!!!!!!!!!!

loved this song since my school days. The guitar solo is sublime.

Un hermoso tema muchos recuerdos, cuando todos fuimos jóvenes.... ¡¡¡Que cosa!!!

The guitar solo is sublime 💋
I came here from Quinn the Eskimo, and then Blinded by the Light. Now I'm here, and I still love it. Freaking epic band.

The single version is great but this one is superb !!
I fly with the melody!
This might be their best song! Thanks for posting it!
Excelent classic,bring back some wonderful memories!!
Bob Dylan wrote this song, he never managed to make it a hit but he wrote it down for MM and others. I'm sure BD likes this one.

If you don't own the album "Solar Fire" you're missing out on a great great piece of work!
This is a wonderful piece. For years it was the first song I heard at the end of atonement day. Seemed very suitable.

Gran versión... M.Mann E.B. transformó la canción de Dylan en una sinfonía!
For all time!
This song is a spirit dream ...
You may be right, Matiere. There definitely is SOMETHING to this song.
Fantastic song ! ---
Κορυφαίο σχήμα,μη εμπορικό στα(από)ξεκινήματά του δι'ὃ και τόσο αδικημένο,αφανές,όσο και παρεξηγημένο...... .
Great stuff from a great era of music! This song always reminded me of the Baker´s Song from Small Faces.
Fantastic sound,reminds me in my heydays in Muenchen in the seventies in my favorite
Disco Chrash Lindwurmstrasse.
Great song,good times.
IT`S A HYMN! Fantastic song!
Beautiful !
Amazing song!!!!

Thanks for that!
it was great days
it takes me 30 years back....
Realy great lyrics, speaking words if wisdom!!!
3:39, That guitar solo...
recalled the past
ist einfach der Hammer
Much better version than Dylans in my opinion. Manfred Mann are a really good rock band
Anyone that covers a Bruce Springsteen or Bob Dylan song usually does it better than them.
