The Who The Song is Over

[endabcs]

Is it just me or is Pete and Rodger doing the "Discount Double Check?"

[WBJMitch]

Hi B:

So many good LUBBINGS while it lasted! Best wishes, always,

B

[bigchickenfu]

This is the Who's most underrated gem. Melody is haunting . 

[JAB5625]

If this weren't on one of the most brilliant rock albums ever it would be a universally well known song. Instead it's merely track 5 I believe, but to me it's a classic. The piano melody and accompanying lyrics are especially poignant.

[Bernman15]

would be better as an ending song than track 5 on my copy of whos next.

[Letsgobobcats]

@Bernman15 indeed a better CD closer than "Wont get fooled again"

[schmittelt]

I must remember...even if it takes a million years.

[yankees7892]

The Who !!!! enough said.

[zzyyxxo]

Nicky Hopkins just soars on this song. I loved him.

[wingman572]

friggin' melodic

[jasonwheel]

this was the best one on this album. Nicky Hopkins on piano.

[skeechful]

Great song great ending....it's Keith Moon saying..."God damnit..I'm Keith Moon !!!!" RIP....great stuff !!!!!!!!!

[naeee11]

This is song is for my friend alexandra, who has decided that our friendship was over... and also our song... but listening to the who gives a feeling of understanding which is most helpful to my hurt heart. Thank you Pete, John, Keith and Roger.

[15bluethings]

kudos to the late great Nicky Hopkins. Beautiful piano playing... to go with Keith Moon's ever wonderful drumming.

[onetomanyish]

the best who song

[fruitkill11]

sorry I mean THE

[fruitkill11]

1:15 to 2:30 was thr best

[98bigbutt]

The Beatles and the Who has 2 members that are dead.

[YourFaceWillDie468]

@98bigbutt So are you suggesting that the remaining total of four should form their own new band? Actually, in theory that would be perfect! Roger on lead vocals and lead guitar, Pete on rhythm guitar, Paul on bass, and Ringo on drums! Now I'm realizing that the fact that those four are the ones who happen to still be alive is divine.

[98bigbutt]

@YourFaceWillDie468,Absolutely not. All I'm just saying that these 2 former bands has 2 members that are dead that's all. But that wouldn't be a bad idea.

[wyleehokie]

@YourFaceWillDie468

Now that would be a Super Group

[98bigbutt]

I love the piano part of this song.

[jwx57]

a very moving and great song

[CherryIce1114]

So Beautiful

[InfoWarsTV2]

well then, that settles it. au revoir.

[grickard319582010]

A real classic with very powerful, emotional lyrics. One of many, many great songs by the Who that are rarely played on mainstream FM radio stations these days.

[MetroidFan621]

WOW.......this is one of the greatest songs I've heard in my life.....and I've heard a LOT of songs.

[vetb882]

@CLFDevil Thanks man, still putting little pieces together. Pushing ahead with a compilation CD, all of my best articles from my former column, Northern Exposure. google michael james motocross and Im usually the first few, so you can see some of the work. :-)

[chrismancandy]

I saw the who in 88 at Busch Stadium in St. Louis.It was quite a show.

I'm glad I saw it.

[zosomagicbow]

What a beauty!!

[bucky468]

Sad to say this but Rog said the Who is almost over as he hinted that his voice is losing its power.

[KtotheY77]

I love this song.....

[SlowDown101]

The song represents how I feel now. Naked and vulnerable.

[1from60]

One of my favorite 'WHO' songs from the 70's. It's my personal favorite from 'Who's Next'...I love the piano,Pete's vocals and especially Keith's drumming. A wonderful song all the way around!!!!!!!

[hermygagala]

Love this song. Another gem by The Who. I bet if this song got more airplay it would be an even bigger hit.

[CJWULF777]

The best Who Album ever released

[joecoyote42]

Hey lads This one of those tunes, we have listened to a thousand times. Now we pick up our "Guitar and our Pen" and like in this song WE SING!, Do something you have always loved to do. It is just Pure and Easy. Rock On lads, Best of Luck

[LFJfromGDR]

Thanks for the video !

Very good track... of course.

[trjordan]

one of the best!

[Ronf465]

probably my fav of all songs

[vetb882]

Just retired from Verizon today and this song keeps ringing in my head. Fits the mood, happy to be retired, sad to be missing my friends and a job I adored but now hopeful the next chapter of life goes as well as the last.

[xChiv]

@vetb882 thank you for letting all of us know

[vetb882]

@xChiv 30 years, 2 months, two weeks...Lol Time to now try and turn a paying hobby (writer) into a full time living. Any tips of contacts. I had to ask :-)

[vetb882]

@xChiv Thanks for listening Chiv. :-)

[MasterEled]

@vetb882 That's ironic, the majority of Verizon Customers are unable to retire partly because of Verizon haha (That is going to be me, so it was a somewhat rye laugh.)

[vetb882]

@MasterEled Aww, sorry man. I hope all the best for you bro. It is still shaky ground, nothing is written in stone and only time will tell if it was a mistake to bug out so early. :-)

[MasterEled]

@vetb882 I was just kidding.

[vetb882]

@MasterEled :-) no harm man, I laugh at myself more than others so ...Lol

[drypoint]

@vetb882 Best of luck going ahead!

[vetb882]

@drypoint Thanks partner. And good fortune to you as well. :-)

[MelevIvan]

@vetb882

Mister, I almost cried while reading this. It's just so undescribable. 

[vetb882]

@MelevIvan Aww, hopefully its a good feeling cry. :-)

[hermygagala]

@vetb882 Great comment bud.

[vetb882]

@hermygagala :-) Thanks Herm.

[robomanification]

@vetb882 Ditto, my friend. what a great comment on youtube. hope things are going good.

[vetb882]

@robomanification ALl is well out here brother, Thanks for asking. I wish a nice life for you an yours pal. Doesn't mean its not without up n downs, every life has these. More ups than downs means we are doing real good. :-)

[LIZZARD6000]

@vetb882 Its funny that I came to this song today for much of the same reason. All 3 of my children and my daughter inlaw have attended Denver Lutheran High school. Today is my daughters last day of school, she is a junior.... and this is the last year the school will be open. It is forever closing at the end of this week. It is really sad.... and now my daughter is forced to attend a different school for her senior year. My kids God Father taught at this school for 43 years too... hard day!

[vetb882]

@LIZZARD6000 Awww man, I feel for ya. memories are all thats left but sometimes we can hold them and relive the moments that made them special. A school is a pile of bricks, its the propel and events that made it special. Hold onto some of them, we live n an age where picture and videos and comments can last a lifetime to share and relive. I wish your daughter best of luck in Sr year and the same for you in all you do. :-) Big hugs your way, pal. <3

[LIZZARD6000]

@vetb882 Thank you so much for your warm words of encouragement! You are absolutly right. There is another Lutheran School about 20 miles from my house which they just consolidated with and closed our school, but my daughter is choosing to go to a different Christian school that is 16 miles from our house. There is such a huge division of who is going where. Some are going to go to public. We were suppose to be looking for colleges, instead looking for a high School. Thanks for listening. Hugs

[vetb882]

@LIZZARD6000 Its quite ok, I felt a good spirit on your side coming through. :-) walk in faith, God wont lead to to anywhere He wont protect you. I was looking but didnt see a way to "friend" you on this. Are you on Facebook?

[jasonwheel]

@vetb882 enjoy your hard earned pension.

[vetb882]

@jasonwheel Thanks so much Jason, I will pray for your well being, both physical and material. It takes a kind soul to be happy for another's joy. :-) 

[MrNEILSUPERNAUT]

When i walked in thru the door

thought it was me i was looking for

she was the first song i ever sang

but it stopped as soon as it began

[claypigeon77]

I wonder if this is metaphor for the future of music..Pete must have had a crystal ball and saw all the crap polluting the airwaves today

[mikestrat56]

An anthem of my teenage angst in the early 70's. Wonderful times. (I think.)

[WormYourHonor64]

@mikestrat56 Nobody can remember. Too spaced at the time, I guess . Too bad for me, wasn't around then. ):[

[Googelbeast]

hello element : why they dont cancel your account or take the audio away? ive seen that happening many times to many people who put up music from artists ,i mean original recordings ..... i simply dont understand

[insanejane1980]

wow. I haven't heard this in so long. beautiful....

[stnojoke]

love the who...

[wistaria2010]

Breaks my heart. Reminds me too much. But it's such a beautiful song anyway!

[MrMarkfoster]

makes me sad and happy at the same time

[elementking95]

[djrogers1989]

Beautiful
