Some serious sick wicked ass drum breaks! I remember the first time I played this when it was first released. We were all just completely blown away that Stevie still had songs like this up his sleeve. After all Songs had been released just a few years before. Such an incredible talent. The song is PERFECTION!
It's amazing that Stevie has so much work not heard on main stream. Most of his work done after Songs in the Keys, I think some of his best work was after 1976. All of His works are a Masterpiece. The Master Blaster Jammin.
You have the right spirit, but really, the early 70's were his critically most acclaimed period musically. He was in a near fatal car crash in N.C after Fulfillingness First Finale and even though he recovered and cut Songs in The Key..he was definitely looked down on for Secret. Prince said it best years later, when he was in the Parade, Cherry Moon period, that artists get chewed up for 'experimenting" at first but later everyone takes a positive attitude about it. There is nothing in Characters/Square Circle/Jungle Fever that comes close to the synergy of Stevie with the ARP synthesizer, clavinet and that voice/harmonica in the early 70's.
The treasure from This album with, Same old Story, Send one your love, Outside my window, the first garden, Seasons and the secret life of plants. Frankly this should have been released as a single.
He smashed it with the metallic terminator 2 down the throat matrix Stevie has no parallel listen to Sylvia imagine Simon Cowell if he hears that or one of the birds they'd cry and say look man we found you you have changed our lives what do you want us to do this show is all about you. The other acts would not be worthy to come on and their deluded families would say watch your just karaoke this is the one you listen and just be a fan and listen to the best if him online
Do you know how good this is seriously I'm Stevie mad but this water fire an air rahzel would trade all for this so would I hip hop nas bbq all would trade all for this as would I.
Wasn't aware there was a live version of this song until now ! Where did you get this recording ?! Cant find any live version of The Secret Life of Plants !
Crazy how some of his best songs weren't released as singles. Isn't She Lovely wasn't released originally as a single and the demand from the public forced that song into being released as a single. How great an artist is when he has a boatload of songs that should've been singles.
If you don't believe me ask nas hel be in here if he knows where to find it if he ain't already and I'll say in front of illmatic nasty nas so what you sayin hel say give me the switch ill have stevies voice
Someone pointed out to me that the songs on this album are the best Stevie has ever written- the melodies, the chords, the grooves
This is very Earth, Wind and Fire
I totally agree 😊
My favorite song possible. Sad that all legends will have to leave this Earth at some point
Never believed in any god, but here frankly, after 50 years listening to this guy, again and again, I wonder..🤔.

Impeccable live vocal. Amazing chord structure.
This sounds waaaaay better than the original studio recording, this version should've been the studio recording ....
Michael Sembello is SO slept on. But Stevie always showed him love. Wonderlove.

@@yuppiemobile69 actually the crash was right after the amazing Innervisions was released
Actually, his less known compositions are more powerful
One of my favorites on the whole album besides Send One Your Love, The Secret life of Plants,and Earth's Creation
In 1979 this would've been a number one smash hit had it been released
James Boyd. No it wouldn’t it was way before it’s time. Donna summer would have ate this shit up. Great song but not a number one for fall 1979
