Gene Clark - So you say you lost your baby

[Keeeeeeeeth]

i'm here from the stingrays cover

[afivedollarmilkshake]

@KJPRAR1 or you could do a google image search for Gene Clark...

[revoltpuppy]

I always thought the Death In Vegas version was really out of place on that album, but I also never knew it was a cover until now. Still, I feel like Clark’s version is a better fit with the rest of “Scorpio Rising”, haha.

[tristannamcleish]

Dont tink weller wrecked the song, though the clark version just edges the DiV cover for me. It is the violin and the tempo - there seems a dissonance between vocals and strings. Both glorious sounds, many thanks for posting.

[charemaine]

goddamm this is a good song.

[DanielBowden1975]

Weller wrecked it

[Waxthumper]

@KJPRAR1 Why? I'm a huge fan of both and I posted it as a video response to Death In Vegas' cover version.. The image clearly has Gene Clark in it also and is just to get the attention of DIV fans that might not otherwise be aware it's a Gene Clark track, as you can see from the comments there's been a few. I quite like the image anyway.

[KJPRAR1]

@Waxthumper i can't remember my original comment, but i am sure you're a huge fan, taking the time to post this remarkable track. probably i said something about the graphic. having known Gene at the end of his life, it just makes me sad (for personal reasons). but, it's silly for me to have bothered you with that! happy holidays, friend!

[Waxthumper]

@KJPRAR1 You should be happy his music is still reaching new and younger generations, through this track many Death In Vegas fans have become aware of Gene Clark. There are those who would still be surprised to even learn that it was a cover by Death In Vegas and not an original.. my whole intent was to draw attention to that for Death In Vegas fans and pay the respect due to Gene Clark. Peace!

[APismoClamm]

His demos may be low-tech, but his words and music come straight from the heart.

[15chipshops]

Classic!!!

[leighslambchops]

No way, i had always thought this was Death in Vegas With Paul Weller! Death in Vegas's Version is a banging northen soul tune, this is cosmic country rock! amazing!

[vaughntrapp]

perfect country rock and harmonies married to awesome psychedelic lyrics....

What an amazing, innovative musician he was

[ivycompton]

God this is great. Gene and the Gosdins was a perfect marriage. Brilliant all round!

[Hossco76]

They have named the new vegemite SNACK IS2.0, now I have no fucking idea what that is meant to mean, also why the fuck did they come up with a new type of vegemite in the first place?

[SweetZombiJesus]

@Hossco76 Why did they come up with it at all?

Anyways, on-topic, this is a great song. I love it when covers help me discover great artists of years gone by.

you smoulder in with fly words ...

[spurtfather]

don't fancy running into those moon trolls!!

[RodCow]

You'll be OK if you stand inside your wind stilts :-)

[sbaketown]

I once had an acoustic b side version of this song... it was awesome, he messes up 1/3 of the way through and starts over, the emotion he put into it was amazing.

[RodCow]

Yeh,that great version is the demo version on the compilation Echoes.

[wovokanarchy]

The intro is very similar to The Who's Disguises.

[Castellorization]

I'm singing this for a friend's music project, which is pretty cool. It's a good song.

[Refrescospepito]

Terrific.

And, it's true, both version are great!!!!

[deltabluedparttwo]

A bit ironic Weller does a song "on a misty morning" in the similar spirit of Clarks' "in a misty morning"-with a bit of Gordon Lightfoot/Richard Thompson riffage.

Great tunes.

[dknysbox2]

the death in vegas version is more alert.I like it better. however the original doesn't sound bad either. :) cool.

[jojoblow01]

yeah the vegas version rocks , paul weller provided the vocal . both versions are great !
