Gentle Giant - The Power And The Glory

THE BEST (GENTLE GIANT) SONG EVER !!!!!!!!!!

-----------

Run, run, the shotgun has got you in its range.
Turn, turn away, when it's time to make a change.
Look where you're going. try not to lose your way.
What good is knowing you have to go away?
Go, you make go, never know, never know.
Time's run away, so have to go, have to go.
Put back the ace black, you never made it good.
Go while you can go. Go while the going's good.

CHORUS:
And the power and the glory is over, so I'll take it.
The power and the glory is over, so I'll make it.
The power and the glory is over, and I'll break it.
The power and the glory is over....

Face up to reason, you know it's up to you.
Do what you can do, all that you have to do.
Move over now, and I'll try to take your place.
Time to remember that I have won the race.
Go, you make go, never know, never know.
Time's run away, so have to go, have to go.
Pick up the pieces, to you I'll have to stand.
Break up the power, the glory's at the end.

[CHORUS]

Run, run, the shotgun has got you in its range.
Turn, turn away, when it's time to make a change.
Look where you're going. try not to lose your way.
What good is knowing you have to go away?

[CHORUS, ad lib]

But still it's a fine good single, beats most singles these days.

Trust me on this, we saw them in 1972 at MSG. There were 6 of them on stage. 3 of them brothers. 4 of them playing a drum solo in synch. As a group they outplayed Tull, Queen, Yes, etc. I have seen hundreds of progressive bands, since I've always played the style. Gentle Giant live was the greatest performance ever!

It takes a few listens to finally like them, but you'll like them!

@username91ification Hands down the greatest and most underated band ever

[username91ification]

Gentle Giant are hands down the most talented musicians I've ever listened to in my life.

Good! but YES and RUSH are great!

@martynhanson This single was written after the fact to "promote" the album. Too bad as it would have fit quite nicely among the P&G tracks.

This song was left off the original release because it was written as the single...which the band hated, since they were entirely resistant to the industry. It has been released on subsequent reissues. Personally, I love this song and it doesn't sound nearly as poppy as their later material. Though I don't agree with nixing this one, the integrity is refreshing.

WHY ON EARTH WAS THIS LEFT OFF THE ALBUM? DOES ANYBODY KNOW?

[traumlicht11]

Great music and song. Although, they may not have been fully satisfied with it, it is still one of the best singles I've ever heard

[xmanwomanx]
