The songs of the last 10 or 20 years CAN'T compare to a classic like this. Bands from this era had a purpose and a message to deliver. More important, their music, songs and lyrics, had meaning and soul! ALL of that is gone.
Well said! People are far too lazy for a long time, including artists, producers, engineers, and many other things of the music industry since those magical times.
When this track came out in '72 I was ten years old and remember everything that was getting airplay. Unfortunately in my neck of the woods (Canada, home of the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission, CRTC and their stifling Canadian Content "Can-Con" rule), this track never saw the light of day. I first heard it a year ago, fifty years late. My first thought was "Clapton sure was at the top of his game on this track" - only to find out it wasn't Clapton. Paul Kossoff was a suburb blues guitarist, and it's a shame he left us so soon.
But the country did produce some crackers namely Rush and Gordon Lightfoot ... you like me are finding stuff I've missed ... like early led zeppelin in some video in Germany or somewhere and Jethro Tull concert videos ... in the Covid lock down in 2020 I thought I could catch up and bought about 50 DVD's from Amazon plus loads I had already and not watched any as this place kept me busy doing 'stuff' and fixing things then was thrown in to teach surveying at the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew to help them out via Zoom and person then got roped into another gig doing the school of Horticulture., again at Kew .... whew ... so I think life is passing me by ... and I'm 71 in two weeks, so even though I missed lots of music by being overseas I don't regret anything ... take care and keep safe ... cheers
My friend Rowdy Ricky Jones used to sing this at karaoke, with an amazingly powerful vocal that overwhelmed the whole pub! He’s not in good health now, but this song always reminds me of him, so I hope you’re doing well, good buddy!
I never realized/Knew that Paul Rogers of Bad Company was the singer in FREE. I simply recognized the VOICE listening to this Today, and recognized it. Thanx-much for this offering!
The non concert scenes are filmed in New York....such a lovely place🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Have been there numerous times, the rats are bigger than cats or small dogs...No joking.
I'm guessing the Bronx, urban renewal era. English band, don't know why the video is of New York. Unless the Finnish uploader made the video himself. Which still wouldn't explain why he chose to make a New York video of a UK band.
Take off your hat Kick off your shoes, I know you ain't going anywhere. Run 'round the town Singing your blues I know you ain't going anywhere. You have always been A good friend of mine But you're always saying farewell And the only time that you are satisfied Is with your feet in the wishing well. Throw down your gun You might shoot yourself, Or is that what you are tryin' to do, Put up a fight You believe to be right And someday the sun will shine through. You have always got Something to hide Something you just can't tell And the only time that you are satisfied Is with your feet in the wishing well. Oh! But I know what you're wishing for Love and a peaceful world Yeah Love and a peaceful world Oh! Yeah Love and a peaceful world You have always been A good friend of mine But you're always saying farewell And the only time that you are satisfied Is with your feet in the wishing....well. Yes I wish you well I wish you well Everybody has a wish Everybody has a dream I wish you well.

yes
u mean at least 40 years plus
And don't forget rhythm
theres plenty of songs with meaningful lyrics if you look past the mainstream but even some of the popular songs have the lyrics if not the rhythm
Well said! People are far too lazy for a long time, including artists, producers, engineers, and many other things of the music industry since those magical times.
Free at their peak here,underplayed, I like this more than alright now
One of the greatest rock songs ever written by one of the greatest bands with the best rock and blues singer ever.
When I was young I used to be in love with Paul Rodgers just by his voice
@@SUPERTRAMP8323.... Me too.... ❤️
We are listening to a 50 years old tune. I wish to go back
I wish to go back with you ☘️
1972
Me too.... Don't leave me behind.... 😁
@@ZK-hh2or.... Don't forget me.... ❤️
yeah us Brits did give the world many good songs from our tiny rainy Mary Poppins land.

Never goes out of trend.... Classic that lasts.... Forever remembered and always a joy to hear it again ❤

The song is brilliant!
Love and a peaceful world.
"Put up a fight you believe to be right" Superb song.
Wishing well is The Beautiful Composition by FREE !!!!

Poor Paul Kossoff, one of the great British rock guitarists, had it really bad...his addiction. Gone at 25. RIP Hopefully he's "All Right Now."
Yep""died on a plane of heroin addiction in 73...
Greatest Rock Singer Ever
Great song could listen to it all day
I heard this on the local radio today. Could hardly believe it. An oldies station.
Such a great track.
Wonderful. You've always got something to hide. Something you just can't tell' I heard this was written about Paul Kossoff.
Paul kossoff died on a plane of a heroin in 1973...
@@terryyepblaize6267 Heart failure. March 1976.
God bless them
Those were peaceful times compared to now.
Great tunes never wane... ❤

Where was this filmed?
The non concert scenes are filmed in New York....such a lovely place🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Have been there numerous times, the rats are bigger than cats or small dogs...No joking.
Just the best band…after little feat
They told you bach then. You no risen ! 👿
where is the place that the last few frames are of?
I'm guessing the Bronx, urban renewal era. English band, don't know why the video is of New York. Unless the Finnish uploader made the video himself. Which still wouldn't explain why he chose to make a New York video of a UK band.
British bands tend to look upon USA, as epitomized by NYC in this video, as their spiritual destinations.
We're the hell did thay get the video 😢 not in my day did free have that shit, it wasn't al black and Puerto in my day .
Take off your hat
Kick off your shoes,
I know you ain't going anywhere.
Run 'round the town
Singing your blues
I know you ain't going anywhere.
You have always been
A good friend of mine
But you're always saying farewell
And the only time that you are satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well.
Throw down your gun
You might shoot yourself,
Or is that what you are tryin' to do,
Put up a fight
You believe to be right
And someday the sun will shine through.
You have always got
Something to hide
Something you just can't tell
And the only time that you are satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well.
Oh!
But I know what you're wishing for
Love and a peaceful world
Yeah
Love and a peaceful world
Oh! Yeah
Love and a peaceful world
You have always been
A good friend of mine
But you're always saying farewell
And the only time that you are satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing....well.
Yes
I wish you well
I wish you well
Everybody has a wish
Everybody has a dream
I wish you well.

IT'S A CRACKER
Blackfoot Wrote This Song
Musicians from Free wrote the lyrics and music.
Blackfoot covered it. I heard it first from the Blackfoot album too, but the writing credits belong to the members of Free.
Maggie McGill also did a great cover.
