Cream - World of Pain

[SLACKER614]

memories....1967? dont know cant remember...anything til 1972...greatest era ever..

[GuitArch54]

This song came to me out of nowhere this morning. It still sends chills down my back. Mesmerizing. What amazing talent for this song and Dance the Night Away. The creative apogee of Cream. Thanks so much gentlement.

[sherlock24ful]

I love this song. Most teens are idiots for not listening to stuff like this.

[yoyojamsam16]

El Es Dee is for me

[thefaketahare]

1:37 MIND FUCKING BLOWN

[vkotsev]

Great song, great Cream, young years..... Nice and lyrical to remember...

[creaturebones]

I love Cream! (;

[fayansiarz]

There's a tree outside his window.

[thesinner922]

1:22 on HELL YE!!

[TheUmnaya]

Outside my window is a tree.

Outside my window is a tree.

There only for me.

And it stands in the grey of the city,

No time for pity, for the tree or me.

There is a world of pain

In the falling rain

Around me.

[SeattleLA]

Hi. The person asked me about one section, the falsetto, as he called it, so I suggested that I thought it was Jack for that one section.

[jkgeiger1]

....and this was produced by 1 of my favorite bassists....felix pappalarrdi...lol...rip, felix...

[takkieaaa]

Cream <'3

[gnmbrasil]

can someone please tell me whose falsetto was that at 0:22?

[SeattleLA]

@gnmbrasil It sounds just like Jack Bruce to me.

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

@SeattleLA they both do vocals in this song, clapton the verses, jack the chorus and two of them together at times

[TheUmnaya]

@gnmbrasil

Jack Bruce

[anandanaga999]

Yeah, Occupy That.

[anandanaga999]

Occupy that.

[futuristfood]

i ate the sugar cube.

[TheWookieeSniper]

This is my favourite cream song - deserves way more views!

[GuyOnChair]

I am 17... I'm pretty sure a few years ago, if I would have stated my age while listening to a great song like this, I would get praise for being young and enjoying this great ol' music... Sorry, I was going to complain more, but this song caught me in a blissful trance....

[mark1952able]

When the trees were green...

[swedaddy]

Thanks mom fore giving me birth in the erley 50 th`s. I did`nt miss the CREAM era

Best time ever.

[artzilla]

@swedaddy 1954 here. Cream was my First Concert San Diego Sports Arena, what a way to get broken in on live music huh? After that I began playing the drums, still do.

[blackandtanful]

ｶﾗﾌﾙ･ｸﾘｰﾑ､ｽﾄﾚﾝｼﾞ･ﾌﾞﾙｰ.ｻﾝｼｬｲﾝ･ﾗ­ヴ､苦しみの世界、夜通し踊ろう・・・・A面黄金曲・・・・貪り­聴いた高一の頃

[scouttcash]

Darn you Cream, I'm supposed to turn in a paper for AP English tomorrow and your music is so good it's distracting me.

[artzilla]

@scouttcash Couldn't think of a much better distraction..except maybe sex. Ha. :)

[MarcusDrty]

Power Fuckin' Trio

[RobdaMaverick]

i wish i was born in 1950

[RedWolf3487]

@RobdaMaverick We all do man, we all do.

[TheKenfig]

Lovely ; blue 'Reaction' label, side one, track three. Eric on lead vocal and Jack on lead on the bridge

[HoundmanV]

hadn't listened in years, but now I am... Again...

[therachierabbit]

very few 17 year old girls i know will give anything like this a chance. their loss!

[Montery12]

Please do not feel sorry for today's kids for missing great music gone by.  They are perfectly happy within their own musical culture.

[ChrisBranleh]

@Montery12 word

[shapdanone]

@Montery12 not at all T.T

[SuperCheezypoofs]

@Montery12 no im not

[SneakyOstrich]

@Montery12 They havent really missed anything. Music from several generations back is still easy to access. They can listen to anything up to 100 years old. Not to mention classical music. This is the so far greatest musical time. Doesnt matter if most new music is shit.

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

@Montery12 No, I do feel sorry for them because they don't know what good musicianship is, most of today's music is techno crap and drum machines. And most of all, the songwriting sucks!!!!

[webenjagermanjensens]

@Montery12 no time for pity...

[doodleguitarist]

@Montery12 They are only happy because they are oblivious

[banjoell]

3 people dont have a tree outside there window. lol had to say it ;)

[Mightbesinking]

Parading the fact that you're young and enjoy music from 50-60 years ago is so lame. I'm going to post my age on a Beethoven video and blow peoples fucking minds with my cool-ness. Cream is awesome, whether you're 8 or 80.

[NoRosesForMe]

@Mightbesinking LMFAO! xx ♥

[davidturner9823]

@Mightbesinking I think the idea is that most kids today listen to shit, so it's actually pretty cool when someone born 50 years after the fact has enough taste to hear the difference between music today, and classics such as this. I'm only 18, and if I had one wish it'd be that finding other kids who dig good music wouldn't be so hard.

[ledzeppelin1987a]

cream fuckin rules

the greatest rock n roll band ever

even better than the beatles, rolling stones, led zep, pink floyd, ccr

[Beatles0223]

@ledzeppelin1987a Here's what people don't get: The Beatles, Cream, Floyd, The Stones, CCR, Zeppelin were all in it together. Every band made their contribution to making rock and roll great and to making the 60s unmatched in terms of classics.

[Luxmaxnike]

@ledzeppelin1987a then why you named your account led Zeppelin 1987? and what happened in 87? and wtf with that "a" in the end?

[HolyDiver55100]

Same here man, im 17, 636 records later, i found something that tastes good, cream (Y)

[Skaternick911]

BRUCE is a fuckin amazing bassist.

[ledzeppelin1987a]

@Skaternick911 fuckin agree.

[eddiec1957a]

Disraeli Gears was the largest selling 8-track title in history

[SKAuthenticDank]

Ive been 5 years old for the past three years and cream is awesome!

[jlsmsu12]

This song makes me think of Walter in the Big Lebowski =D "If you mark the frame an 8, you're entering a world of pain."

[pdxbiker2009]

this whole album defined my generation. Ginger and Jack and Eric were in top form here and on "Wheels of fire". I was 12 when my favorite song was "Badge". Not on this album. "Badge" was on "Goodbye Cream"

[pdxbiker2009]

this whole album defined my generation.

[MiizzaJimMustaine666]

i love this song! :D i Love Cream!

[ARockAndRollSuicide]

I love this song so much.

[rpmhart]

As of 6/6/11, there are 3 dislikes for this, one of this very old man's favorite Cream songs. I SINCERELY hope that the gods heal these three Rick Santorum supporters and relieve them of their poisonous constipation. (my best pal and I paid $3.75 each for fifth-row tickets to see them in March of '68...greatest concert I've ever seen. My deathbed music will be "Dance the Night Away".)

[kyo3529]

great song 

[beantownbig3]

the video effects make feel like I'm trippin :)

[blackandtanful]

CREM～DISRAELI GEARS～WORLD OF PAIN～ｶﾗﾌﾙｸﾘｰﾑを彩る､苦しみの世界～永遠のA面!

[MrPeguin666]

and people say the Beatles were high when they wrote their lyrics

[omgkingdomheartsrox]

nice pixcle effect really adds to the tripyness of this song

[JamesMarshallJohansn]

Im only 18 months old and I love cream!!!!!

[yanis3]

@JamesMarshallJohansn Age should always be mentioned when listening to music. Especially when the music is in youtube, making it accessible to all people of all ages.

[joebob1211]

white room, greatest cream song ever, but the rest is still great as well

[IEatCatsForFun92]

3 people hit accidentally the wrong button ^^

[QFunk69]

@kewlthings im 13 years old, and ive been listening to this music since i was little

[EtereRadioascolto]

straordinaria, specie batteria e chitarra wa-wa

[Sleipner081]

Best chorus EVER!

[Sleipner081]

Best chorus EVER!

[BlackFloyd94]

Outside my window, is a tree... EPIC

[Nhanenge]

I really was happy to finally find this tune, which I have been searching for in vain for a long time. I did not know its title. Well, I finally found it via the search engine looking for the lyrics, some words of which I remembered. It reminds me of my youth and my thoughts those days.

[nickshel]

It seems unbelievable now but this was(is) my favourite song although I didn't know the name or the band. How was I supposed to know these three had been together?!? This has made my decade.

[kewlthings]

Love Ginger Baker's drumming, plus I love the wa-wa pedal effects. I feel sorry for kids nowadays who don't give music like this a listen and who will miss out on this era.

[Alithecomedian]

@kewlthings hey im sixteen and music from this era is what i eat,sleep,breath,dream,live for.

[kewlthings]

@Alithecomedian Right on dude. Keep waving the flag for these classics. Educate your friends too.

[tyrant6of6genocide]

@kewlthings yeah dude if it wasnt for classic epicness liek this i wouldnt be who i am today, i wouldnt even be playin guitar, cream is one of my favorite classic bands, thank god my gpa introdced me to this stuff when i was liek a baby

[psych380]

@kewlthings Same here, 14 years old. I managed to turn about 25 friends to this sort of music, and one kid who used to listen to Lady Gaga and Katy Perry is now halfway through a dedicated quest to collect every single Led Zeppelin album. One question though, if my rock band were to somehow get famous, am I right in thinking that we'd mainly be seen as a bunch of poser kids trying to play music we don't understand like Glee?

[infirmarybluesism]

@psych380 Good work, man. These are kind of missionaries that the world needs.

[kimjenkins123]

@kewlthings hell im 14 how do think it is hearing about some gay metal band or girls not liking u because of the music i like or the way i dress.

[artzilla]

@kimjenkins123 remember this...you are only 14. This will all change someday. Just keep doing what you are doing, one day they will all realize you were Right. There would be No metal bands today if it had not been for these Music Pioneers. When I was your age I even listened to Big Band Jazz.and Delta Blues where this music was born. People though I was strange. I'm 57 today and now I don't care what people Think. :) Just smile at them and know you are correct.

[kimjenkins123]

@artzilla very inspiring

[kimjenkins123]

@kewlthings but just wait i play guitar this music will come back some day. i promise. the music i write is alot like 60s

[artzilla]

@kimjenkins123 Good luck. I'd love to hear this kind of music make a come back.

[TheGeneLightShow]

@Alithecomedian hell yea man!

[TRIVIUMrocker123]

@Alithecomedian Yah same, and im 14

[classiclistener01]

@Alithecomedian - I don't believe that kewithings meant ALL kids - you have good taste in music! However, you must admit, "most" of your generation, when adults, won't have many or any GREAT tunes of your own to remember high school daze by!?!? Even I didn't have much, and I'm 45! I, too, listened to '50s and '60s tunes since much of the music, not all, that came out when I was a kid was disco and dorky. The Stones, Zeppelin, Tull, Clapton and others were still there - luckly! Take care! :)

[Skaternick911]

@Alithecomedian I am also 16 and I agree 100% with you. It's all autotunes.

[longkyle42]

@Alithecomedian me to and im 15

[coreyorama]

@Alithecomedian dsame here, 16 in october... diude, clapton truley is god.... and he is arguably the greatest guitarist to ever walk this earth

[bledmylastdrop13]

@kewlthings Im 24 now, but i grew up on the 60's and 70's, and today its still my favorite. They dont make music like this anymore. Very sad....because its the BEST!!!

[StarWars20002]

@kewlthings I'm 14 and I hate new music I hate being my age just because I'm stuck with stupid kids who love Rap, Hip-hop, and other crappy genres and bands. I'm so sad I wasn't born in the earlier times 

[firehawk400]

@kewlthings A time when music took talent and work instead of pitch correction and money.

[dfranz3925]

@kewlthings im 17 and this is the type of music i live for im a guitar player and this is the kinda stuff i like to play on guitar. unfortunatley very few in my age group like this stuff

[louisalive]

@kewlthings dude, I don't know any kid who plays guitar that doesn't know cream, as someone who loves this era, I still find this a pretty "oh I'm stoned" primitive sound compared to Hendrix, Santana or the Beatles who are way more together, and tbh the whole psychedelic "stoner" sound is still around, for instance bands like Queens of the stone age, who I rate more highly than cream, so give "kids of today" a break, it's not like we're missing out, if anything you are, being stuck in the past

[HolyDiver55100]

@kewlthings Same here man, im 17, 636 records later, i found something that tastes good, cream (Y)

[jiblets63]

@kewlthings im 18 amd i love classic rock songs like cream, deep purple ect becouse its what iv grown up with and i love the gitar in these albums, but its wrong to say that modern music isnt good, theres loads of cool stuff around, not nessisarily in the charts but its there. this music is brilliant but it doesnt mean that modern rock or indie rock isnt good too.

[545t3t4t5]

@kewlthings I'm 14 nd the music of 66-69 is the only music I've ever really cared about. Depressing story- once tried to get my friend and drummer/band-mate to listen to this. at 0:03 he stopped it. I said 'what did you stop it for; it gets really good!' but he said 'im sorry, but that's shit.' He only understands modern day R'n'B. As you can prob guess, his repetitive, boring drum loops don't match my bass that actually is REMOTELY INTERESTING!!! Thanks go to Jack Bruce.

[halo9449]

@545t3t4t5 Kid sounds like a tool. You should've socked him in the jaw. Friend or not, saying something like that deserves an ass-kicking.

[IgnorancEnArrogance]

@545t3t4t5 Why the hell would you have someone like that in your band?!

[EasyRiderRomar]

@kewlthings

yea im 16 too and im chilling on this like die hard hippies (:

peace

[heypooj]

@kewlthings true that man im 14 and clapton is my life! i wish everybody in my generation could respect good music!

[Transformers2themax]

"Disraeli Gears", the best Cream album ever made, no question about it.

[Transformers2themax]

Psychedelic and soft at the same time. Eric Clapton was the best right under Hendrix.

[TumbrelJockey]

It gets worse -remember ? There wasn't any pity for that growing tree either . :-(

[UncleVinty]

I always loved this song

[sirronald69]

*****

[HeguliSporti]

Outside my window iso tree

[BraveHelios]

... Is there a reason for today? Now more than ever!

[Transformers2themax]

@BraveHelios Unless it's music. Back when this song was made, there was a reason to be alive.

[nickthecomedian]

im 16 i came across cream through guitar hero. if there woudln't have been guitar hero i doubt i would have came across cream

[ThePeaceableKingdom]

@nickthecomedian It doesn't matter how you found it." Welcome to the club!" It only matters that you stay open to finding the great new (and old) things. I'm an old timer (not by choice - it happens!) and I've discovered so many new bands and so much new music by hearing the covers of it done by young musicians on YouTube whose work I like. They filter out the commercial crap (mostly) and cover the real art which I'd never hear otherwise... There's still good music, but it's harder to find today

[nickthecomedian]

@nickthecomedian what other bands should i be listening to..?

[bamboosa]

@TrumbrelJockey - your story cracks me up, for some reason.

[lukinigga]

What a masterpiece!

[Mightbesinking]

Is there a reason for today?

[ddarkshark]

just thinks folks, you can still get stoned and listen this dynomite song right now and look out the window and get lost in the endless labyrinth halls of your imagination

and know bliss beyond anything you can imagine. screw the mass media . flow with the zone in your heart. later.

[bagsmig]

@ddarkshark walk with the planet brother

[adultstorebob]

Top 5 classic rock album of all time Disraeli gears had it all .. Great Eric Great Jack Great Ginger all at their best

[revolution1940]

wow, cream fuckin rocks.

[sonicsteev]

pity for no city!

[MiizzaJimMustaine666]

outside my window

it's a tree!!

great song 

[pylgrym]

Qualifies as great art as it reaches emotional levels in us and entertains at the same time...

[POINTBLANKaustralia]

it always seems that Eric gets the credit for Cream & that it was his band,but in fact Ginger started it..& the 3 together made the whole, equally as talented as the other..jack was the lead singer, Atlantic records didn't want that, because their idea was that the guitarist should be 'the singer',like Chuck Berry,so they tried to push Jack to the back & Eric to the front..they were years behind in their thinking because the Beatles proved all band members could be 'the' lead singer..unheard of

[SilverDollar79]

is there a reason for today...do you remember? Jack's voice and Eric's strings, what emotion!!

[GreedyNoobLike]

Well on my biased opinion the peak was somewhere between the 1973-75 it really depends on what you like listening.

Floyd did DSOTM in 73, but it marks a departure from their abstract artsy period to a more mainstream mb even cynical prog rock so yeah taste play's a big role here. I regard Black Sabbath's Sabotage(75) one of the top rock albums of the seventies, but Sabbath was a bit more one-dimensional than its predecessors.

As for Psychedelic Rock 67-71 sounds pretty accurate i guess.

[SeattleLA]

Cream were (and are) the cream; there is no doubt as to their legacy. In addition to the music, and lyrics, I like their fashion better than almost any other band of the era, along with Yes, Brian Jones, The Who, and The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

[tapeduk]

Is there a reason for today????----1967 1968  1969 are the best years in the history of this planet

[RastafariPoet]

@tapeduk +1970

[tombokickass]

Ok, insult me all you like for not knowing this, but what specific genre is Cream?

Because it's like blues + soft rock + hard rock + modern rhythm rock + late rock and roll.

Bit of a long title for a playlist.

[arjunverma1987]

@tombokickass psychadelic blues rock

[enacra101]

@tombokickass psychadelic hard rock

[justdan60]

peace

[justdan60]

peace



[siconauta69]

outside my window is a tree there only for me!

[cdsorvinyl]

This stuff is as fresh as the day it was born...Not too much stuff nowadays has the same sound...Know what I mean?

[gary5180]

Im not gonna let you trip alone. I scored a couple of tabs back in the slamm. Who cares of age. Just sit back and enjoy the best music there will ever be.

[APPreacher]

Great music!

[64pac]

I have a tree outside my window as well

[dededeioi444]

one of the greatest songs to listen to on vinyl

[54markl]

At my eighth grade graduation party, we played this song many times. Of course the mean kid made fun of the wah-wah. I still love this song. We sure listened to weird music when we were young.

[TumbrelJockey]

Agreed.With so much that has befallen the world since 67, this poignant, beautiful song 4 decades hence pose what the soul and the rational mind ask ...WHY ? and ".. is there a reason,for today..." in response to an act of such wanton barbarism..Peace to you hugatag

[TumbrelJockey]

I actually recall listening to this on a cold rainy day in late 67 & a stoned pal laughing so hard as he pointed - like a complete idiot,to a tree -outside ...my window... that was surprise ! In the pouring rain...

[hugatag]

@TumbrelJockey I was 9 in 1966 when I first heard Cream. This song relates sept 11 to me so much that its spooky.

[ddarkshark]

@TumbrelJockey-- you are not alone--know this!

[Transformers2themax]

@TumbrelJockey Wow. What a paradox. Lol

[Taff1967SC]

After 30 years listening to this stuff, I still reckon 1967-71 (or thereabouts) was the height of creative rock music

[nadav183]

@Taff1967SC i totally agree with you!

Led Zeppelin Jimi Hendrix Cream Yardbirds Pink Floyd

[SeattleLA]

@Taff1967SC You are absolutely right. That is the era of the best of the music, followed by years just before or just after the ones your list.

[dm7tamas2010]

@Taff1967SC '73: Dark Side of the Moon :)

and many many more!

Jehtro Tull and Led Zep and King Crimson, Deep Purple still recording!

And many many more!

[Taff1967SC]

@dm7tamas2010 agreed!

[RastafariPoet]

@Taff1967SC

Hendrix :)

[POINTBLANKaustralia]

@Taff1967SC i go one better, 1966 must be included for the Beatles' landmark Revolver..Similar to the Beatles,Cream had the creativeness but couldn't make that as catchy as the Beatles,Jack Bruce talked about wanting songs like The Beatles..but the song that kicked it all off and had US bands like the Grateful Dead & Jefferson Airplane knowing that the Beatles were on the same wavelength was "Tomorrow Never Knows",again from Revolver, 1966

[Taff1967SC]

@POINTBLANKaustralia Agreed, I was being fairly general with that timeframe -- A peirod it seems to me when a lot of bands were just getting going and still "hungry" and creativity was at a high. The Beatles, yes goes without saying, some fantastic stuff

[ddarkshark]

@Taff1967SC you are totally perceptive of musical truth!!!

[consityis1]

@Taff1967SC I agree with ya man Modern music is lacking alot

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

@Taff1967SC you got it, was in high school those four years, just really getting into music and learning the harmonica, Jack Bruce was big influence on me and Cream helped me get into the blues, along with Paul Butterfield Blues Band. So many great groups enjoyed success in the period, including Tull, Traffic, the Who,

Mountain, Allman Brothers, and many more. long live the late sixties and early seventies

[Alithecomedian]

@Taff1967SC thats it right there ive always thought that. 1967-1971.

[cooltooth112]

@Alithecomedian I give it a few more years than that. How about '64 to '74?

[mussman717word]

@Taff1967SC

I realized that all in one year. Best times, indeed. Wish I were there.

[SteelerNationTX]

@Taff1967SC Check out The Black Keys, Wolfmother, and The Sword. I think you will think differently.

[Taff1967SC]

@SteelerNationTX good bands no doubt, but I wouldn't put them in the same dimension as hendix,purple,yes,zep,cream and so on. That's just my opinion tho

[meotoko77]

@Taff1967SC ofc you wouldnt, they're legends. They are however the closest this generation will get, sad just very sad.

[rocknroll14live]

im 14 and todays music is garbage classic is just amazing this song takes me to another place

[ledzepgirl92]

have that album on vynil :D

[jocafica]

@ledzepgirl92 i have the remaster in vynil =D
