I can't remember who requested this one....but anyway... this one is from The Who's 1971 masterpiece ' Who's Next '...' The Song Is Over ' was originally supposed to be the closing song from Pete's aborted ' Lifehouse ' project . Whenever I heard Roger Daltrey start singing in this one..I could always picture him belting it out while standing atop a mountain or something...lol...it's a GRAND tune with both Pete and Roger taking turns on vocals...again, I tried doing a digital Keith Moon via drum loops..because Keith just explodes when he comes in on this song . So...if we ever do find the meaning of life...it most certainly could be a pure and easy musical note !!...one of the ideas in Lifehouse that is very cool !! Hope ya like it...cheers...and have a great weekend !

The Song Is Over - The Who
Words & Music by Pete Townshend

The song is over
It's all behind me
I should have known it
She tried to find me

Our love is over
They're all ahead now
I've got to learn it
I'm gonna sing out

[chorus:]
I'll sing my song to the wide open spaces
I'll sing my heart out to the infinite sea
I'll sing my visions to the sky high mountains
I'll sing my song to the free,...to the free !....
I'll sing my song to the wide open spaces
I'll sing my heart out to the infinite sea
I'll sing my visions to the sky high mountains
I'll sing my song to the free, ....to the free !!!!

When I walked in through the door
Thought it was me I was looking for
She was the first song I ever sang
But it stopped as soon as it began

Our love is over
It's all behind me
They're all ahead now
Can't hope to find me

[chorus]

This song is over
I'm left with only tears
I must remember
Even if it takes a million years....

The song is over....
The song is over....

Certain one note, pure and easy
Playing so free, like a breath rippling by.....

  • Anyone who says "Oh, I hate the Who" - I play them this track and they sit there in rigid, amazed silence. Actually, I feel pretty sorry for anyone who doesn't like the Who.

  • @LeeJTurnock Hey thanks for the ultra cool comment Lee !!! I agree !!! Their music just surpasses all !!!....lol...Cheers my friend !!

  • Wow! One of my fav Who songs, and your vocals are so spot-on that I almost thought you were miming along to Pete for a second there! And you do Roger's vocals amzingly too. I don't think I need to tell you how fantastic the playing was, and the way you put the video together is beautiful! I have goosebumps!
