This is what Revisited needs to be playing live in concert, to show thier true song writing talent and how CCR truly was John's band, Good Golly Miss Molly, this is bloody awful, never bite the hand that feeds you, they should've been happy doing as they were and let John carry them on to success. CCR = John Fogerty and this song here is hardly that. It sounds like a Jimmy Buffett song! Revisited can play these songs and stop stealing John's!
@GretschRocker89 Was Good Golly Miss Molly not a cover? Either way, I totally agree! by using all Johns songs, they are really just showing to the world that they are incompetent, when clearly they are not!
Common people , I check lyrics and is a good metaphor , I think this song talk about the relation of Fogerty and Cook , he said that he have to sail away in his ship , is a metaphor , the boat is a new begining about the CCR end , he talks about the captain of the sea , John Fogerty is the captain of the sea , common people Stu writte good lyrics , isnt better tha John , but is better than a lot of stupid lyrics today
I like to see the coments in videos of Mardi Gras songs , because I cant find really CCR fans to discute abouth the best fucking band i this other fuck beach ass world CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL
@murcielago06gt or if John had just sang some of the other guys songs - as was the original plan.
But John is really just a "solo" guy that probably never really wanted a band. He wanted the solo w/backup deal like Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Elvis etc...
I think if John had just given co-writer credit to the otherss on the instrumental songs (Poorboy Shuffle, Side o'the Road, Rude Awakening#2)opened up the jam on Keep On Chooglin' for more group input and live improvisation,and been reasonable enough to let Tom Fogerty have 1 song per album, Creedence could have survived. Doug and Stu wanted to write a song, John should have sang them instead of just quite the band.He walked out on his contract and thats why he was broke. Its not the bands fault
@l0rd0ct0d0rk like all musicians, they naturally wanted some creativity from time to time - what they had in mind was co-writing some songs for CCR to do as a band and to record the project that eventually became Blue Ridge Rangers (that they were jamming on some of the songs in 1971)-John left them rather then let them contribute, and so Mardi Gras ended up as sort of a half-finished album. The Blue Ridge record and John's 1975 record would have done better with the Creedence name tho
@labora4best its too bad that John is so into his own music that he wouldn't contribute to the other guys songs. That's Stu playing guitar on his own songs since John quit the group rather than do the co-write thing or sing the other songs. Imagine of John had sang Door To Door? It might have been a better Creedence song.
All John had to do was let the other three write songs and maybe take some lead and backup parts, he didn't have to break up the band. Mardi Gras combined with some of the tracks off Blue Ridge Rangers would have made a great CCR album.
John was responsible for his own lack of success in the 70's.
@ecwisgreat right! Sweet Hitch-Hiker, Sail Away e Someday Never Comes are my favorites songs in Mardi Gras. "Wrote A Song For Everyone" (from Green River) is also a great tune!
You only can't compare it with Fogerty. It's still a thousand times better than today's crap music. And Cook's voice isn't that bad, it's just his style of singin'
@76Solo712 True, the cover is wrong. But in the uploader's defense, I always thought this song sounded like it could have been on Pendulum. Pendulum has a certain sound that stands alone from the rest of the Creedence records and Sail Away sounded like it would fit right in there with the rest of the tracks. By the way, this comment isn't in any way supposed to be an argument. My fellow brother, I was just wondering if you shared the same opinion of the song.
"Sail Away" is on their last album Mardi Gras. It's not a Fogerty- song and you can hear the style-break which also became the end of the group...After 25 years Fogerty was legally forbidden by the idiot Saul Saentz who made him sign a contract way back then ...to perform his own songs.Today FOGERTY is ROCKING HAPPILY...all over the world!
And Status Quo even covered this world hit on him...
No this song isn't about suicide. It's about the chaos that happened after John had had enough crap and had Stu and Doug contribute a third of the last album, against their wishes. The song was posted with the wrong cover, see above. Anyway, older brother Tom had left over older brother ego problems. The captain of the sea is John, shouting orders to his crew, that's John being lead singer, lead guitarist, arranger, producer, primary song writer, frontman etc....
CCR THE BEST BAND EVER!
Renetzio93 2 days ago
NO COMMENT:
CCR is Fogerty-driven rockband since always.
When he left , it was over. Whe nGabrie lleftgnesis ,there rose fro mbehind his drumkit Phil
Collins wh ochanged it all but in a perfect way! But after him: Genesis was dead.
Frankly the very sympathetic Stu Coock has a bad voice, very limited , no grain, no warmth , no power , no nothing really...you can here it here.
Never mix an absolute milestone in rock- singer with "others".
That's all folks. CCR FOREVER!

I can enjoy the song if don't think of it being CCR. Stu should have saved it for a solo album.

@GretschRocker89 Agreed. Rolling Stone seemed to agree too.

I guess Stu Cook's voice wasn't excellent for this style of music. But if he was in a first wave punk band, he'd be perfect.

From their last CCR album MARDI GRAS.
When John let them have the others their way in composing too.
It never sounded CCR, lacks power, genuity, drive ,lyrics...
but today..I like it ...just a little...
"Gonna try to sail away for the rest of my life..." Stu Coock must have felt the end was there.

You have to say he was the band's fourth singer at best ;)
