One More Night - Can

[PurpleBlackSyrup]

Favorite track from Can's 3rd effort w/ Suzuki in the fold. Love the shuffling beat, Damo's breathy, shivering vocals, the occasional guitar chord pinging in and out, even the drumstick clatter from the right-hand side speaker adds to the trippy effect. The effect is amazing, it holds together and yet ... try clapping your hands to this mesmerizing tempo! So weird, and so damned fine.

[noodles41]

fucking awesome this album, I have to leave the house and go buy it!!

[Obamaisterrorist]

this entire album just makes me want to dance!

[MaestroTJS]

Imagine what the Western world would look like if music like this were popular instead of crap like Lady Gaga and Bieber.

Almost 40 years later, this still sounds unbelievably fresh to my ears...and that's the definition of timeless.

[SihtFukcCokc]

@MaestroTJS Imagine what youtube would be like if people didn't bitch about Gaga and Bieber in every song from every band that isn't mainstream.

[MaestroTJS]

@SihtFukcCokc I think you need an enema. Something is clearly lodged in there.

[JACMILA]

I CAN DANCE I CAN DANCE

LOVE IT

[MissesWaits]

Krautrock rockt!!

[marck079]

ok excellent but what the fucking hell got do see that fucking subnormal of p.collins with the "related" videos¿!??¿!??

[claudscape]

@marck079 believe it or not Phil Collins and Jaki Leibitz played drums on before and after science, one of Brian Eno's best records !

[woodentops]

aw yeah

[seapockets]

best music to dream to

[maximiliancohen]

Outa sight !!! I heard this in the seventies and t's amazing how fresh it sounds. These superb musicians were way ahead of their time !

[whitekuduone]

Awesome song. Direct influence on Eno, Talking Heads, and Japan.

[MrSKINFLICK]

@whitekuduone: How true.

[ShoppingBargains]

Class Outfit - Simple As That!

;-)

[jackal59]

I've known this for at least 25 years, and I still can't figure out the damn meter. Maybe it's in seven... but then it seems to shift.

[ExitosGnosis]

@jackal59 its 7 dude

[jackal59]

@ExitosGnosis Relistening, I agree that *most* of it is in 7, but I don't think everything always is. The slow cymbal hits that start at 2:00 are in a different meter and tempo (I hear them as 3), and starting at around 3:58 (start at 3:50 to get a couple of full bars) it sounds like Michael is dropping the end the bar here and there. It's a great, subtle piece of music.

Damn, I need to buy this again.

[jtaycock]

It's 7/4 time. For another great song in this time signature, check out "7/4 Shoreline - Broken Social Scene".

[kwakky]

@jtaycock no.

[locustskater]

CAN and God both have three letters....figures

[Jdubeats]

This song just reminds me of being a child.. Being really curious about everything. . Imagination running wild. .

[midgiecoo]

my god i never thought i'd hear this in this day and age. such fond fond memories, my mate and i were the only guys in our (ex) mining village in rural ayrshire Scotland to have any can records.lol. i can still remember my dad coming into my room and saying: "explain that to me and why it has to be loud" thanks for bringing all those times back to me e real treat. and doesn't peter gabriels' "digging in the dirt" owe so much to this song? anyone agree?

[TheSimonRowell]

@midgiecoo

stick your lol up ya nose and grow up. No i do not agree.

[RichieTriple9]

Early 70´s but an amazing fresh sound.

Yes they CAN

[basehead617]

every time i've played this for anybody, they don't believe it was made in 1972

[royalnash]

tago mago is not a better album not even close

[rmcl100]

just got goose bumps!! Brings back some amazing memories. Thank you CAN.

[mobyboy]

This band has so many good trippy tracks !

[Kirke182]

The German music scene of that period was probably the best in the world. All sorts of cool German bands doing this very meditative groove stuff. It was better than the US or Britain but didn't get close to the media attention.

[akis723]

@Kirke182 and this was a blessing since anglo-americans have the tendency to turn music into commercial product.

[seapockets]

it's annoying how everyone says bands like muse and coldplay are ripping radiohead off when most radiohead fans have never even heard of can. not saying radiohead ripps can off, but i wish people would realize no band is without influence. one can be influenced while still being original and creative (not saying coldplay is original or creative either, all personal opinion when it comes down to it).

[Depechexb]

Some influence is more obvious than other, but it has also got something to do with who the influence comes from. Coldplay and Muse are easy to hate, because their influence is one of the most well-known bands in history. It's a shame that people often hate bands, whose influence is obvious, but that's how it is.

[faceinembryo]

@Depechexb what the hell are you talking about? coldplay and muse are so influential? how can you post that on a can vid?

[abbeyroadpaul]

@faceinembryo haha nice one...

[bludsassij]

@seapockets so what the fuck ARE you saying anyway? i think you raised some points and then systematically refuted yourself to the point that your paragraph shouldnt even exist.. hahaha.. no offense intended, i find it amusing..

[strobestatic]

Renoir the painter once said ...I hate Beethoven he always lets you know what a bad mood he is in... Mozart, He never does .. I always remember that, listening to Can..it always sound so Open..... the 'music' tells the story

[ApplwPiw]

trippin it kept on sounding like he was hissing "NO MORE SUCKIN YA BLOOOD"

at parts.. ive never heard it again.. amazing track, like all the other can tracks.

[moriluk]

This band continues to impress me.

[Dubconferencedotorg]

one of my most favourite CAN tunes .. great :)

[mobyboy]

I love this album sort of pre- funk/prog stuff.

[Shamanysam]

Great track!! I love Ege Bamyasi ..the vegetables on the picture..that's their name on Turkish!!

[Jdubeats]

Check out the live version of this that I posted on my page. It's a lot faster!!

[awbYEATS]

I've known of Can for sometime now, but this was the first time that I've ever actually listened to a song from start to finish. Amazing stuff, there's so much going on here, I can only imagine how revelatory this would've been listening to it in the early 70s, unfortunately I'm so familiar with the derivatives.

[TheArbiter74]

the omnipotent, mighty CAN!!! this track is unbelievable!!! granted "TAGO MAGO" may be a better album, i believe this track is more defining of who CAN is; more so than "halleluwah off of TAGO MAGO. now "mushroom head", that's a track folks!!!

[fireemblem1992]

Damn, this is epic

[egebamyasi]

Eons ahead of it's time. Sublime.

[switchonthesongs]

thanks! best song ever!!

[yossarian9]

One more secular knife.

One more Korean shoe.

One more mumbling wife.

One more Saturday night.

[bearandhammer]

Best groove ever!

Incredibly special album..

CAN..once heard..never forgotten.

[adamo54]

i think halleluwah had a better groove

[Pighood]

Jaki Liebezeit > mere mortals

[HWingo]

Yes yes yes oh yes oh my yes

[yodro]

First 10 seconds = Car flying off into space

[supergoing7]

such a mysterious, beautiful song.

[themightiness]

Fact: Can owns your soul.

[locustskater]

@themightiness I can deal wit that

[Nassghuul]

Just awesome!

[TallFastLoud]

They weren't just ahead of their time- they were from their own time. There is still nothing that sounds like this (that I'm aware of anyway)

[ShoppingBargains]

Saw them in Stirling University in early 70's! :-)

[kackbretzel]

and do you remember anything more than the fact of "you were there"?

just jokin`

[hafsteinn]

radiohead?

[awbYEATS]

This is an influence? Definitely

[shmak]

Listen to the album that followed this one -Future Days.

Much more Radiohead for you there. Unbelievably amazing album btw

[mnash1015]

big time

[ahitler1000]

@TallFastLoud absolutely , had the album then now , Im old and rediscovering all over again ,

[ShoppingBargains]

I was about 16 (l-o-n-g time ago) when I first heard this one by Can, loved it then and still love it today. Thanks for posting! Excellent! :-)

[matowana]

"One more drinking your shoes"

[SniffPeters]

"One more fuck and you're down. One more fuck and away you go." - Such romantic sentiments.

[ullipu]

i love it all the time .......
