Seven by Seven (In Search of Space-CD-Bonustrack) - Hawkwind (1971)

[TheStickism]

Lost am I in this world Of timelessness and woe Can I find the doorways Through which I must go Is the key to this plane Too much for me to try to gain Is the passport to this World my astral soul 7 signs rode on 7 stars 7 ways to find the long lost bards 7 days became 7 years While I've cast the spell that eternity chains No more to cry O' mortal soul The astral path is now your fortuitous role

psychedelic genius

[snackNsnacker]

warrior on the edge of time , after listening to it, sought out other Hawkwind albums, their live 2record set had this song on it . the lyrics stuck in my head

[farangajarn]

Oscar for me it was after space ritual, it took me many years to understand that they had evolved when I was, at that time, incapable of that evolution

[p97154]

Only 9000ish. What the fuck is  the matter with folk?

[celt1031]

best version is the live 'space ritual' album liverpool 1972..there are 2 lps the black & yellow cover dbl album is the fuckin tits...finished many a night trippin listenin to it..

it was my blanket LOL

[SuperLittlePaws]

love this tune..space ritual is one of my fave albums ever! x

[unviciouscircle]

@SuperLittlePaws was stunning live too...especially when supported by the Pink Fairies and Deke Leonard's IceBerg

[underwwraps2]

Wow! Bob Calvert's first studio recording! How amazing!

[DrRocker2710]

fuck it this deserves to be known worldwide

[TOFFEEBLUE344]

A lot of people know Hawkwind by Silver

Machine,but as I stress to them,the B side

was mile's better,this is it! Awesome

[moeran1944]

@TOFFEEBLUE344 Agreed! I bought Silver Machine single way back in the 70's. I played the B side and it was Seven by Seven. It grabbed my teenaged brain, and I never played Silver Machine again for ages. At the the time I had a telescope and was into astronomy - and this was the soundtrack. :)

[dickogeorge]

what the fucks the numb cunt comment about?? whats your problem??

[tonyrob86]

Lemmy was in the band when this was recorded.Nik Turner did the vocals on this one.

[colocolomalo]

Not on the original "IN SEARCH OF SPACE"album,was a "b"side to the single" SILVER MACHINE".

[balchoth]

yeah, it's just on the CD release

[MCLOVINSmum]

This brings the past flooding back

[oscar6418]

this is another later version of the original........any hawkwind fans should buy the original vinyl versions because after "spirit of the age" 1979 the band became a crock of shit

[pantherius]

I agree, sort of. The Space Ritual version of this song is the definitive version.

[taariqtaariq]

@oscar6418

I think they lost the plot after "LEVITATION" in 1980 with Ginger Baker.

[margatelad]

bob calvert wrote it

[ajittffcure]

Is that Lemmy on the lead vocals? I have got the 'In Search of Space' album and I am familiar with this song but I am not sure who is on the vocals.

[sonicattacker]

Lemmy wasn't in Hawkwind when this album was recorded.

[nakaufo]

great....!!

[nichmars]

This is one of my favorite Hawkwind songs... I heard it first on a version of Space Ritual Sundown.

[margatelad]

sparky get a life you nit picking wanker

[balchoth]

Yes, but in the "more info box", I wrote that it was on the CD Version of ISOS. Should have written this in the headline...

[sparkymarky2112]

this was actually the b-side to silver machine and never made it onto the original vinyl ISOS
