Pete Ham - We're For The Dark - Live 1970 - Badfinger

Live 1970 (1st American tour) - Pete Ham's one "spotlight" acoustic number his entire career. Should have been many more...

Tell me the day and I'll set you free, what you wanna be
Show me the way and I'll let you see what you do to me
Well, it's not enough to live
If you're gonna take, then you have to give
We're for the dark, mm-baby, you and I

Show me the clouds and I'll give you sky if you want me to
Show me the crowds and I'll make you sigh if you take me through
Well, it's not enough to be
If you're gonna look, then you have to see

We're for the dark, mm-baby, you and I
Mmm-baby, you and I-hi
Mmm-baby, you and I-hi-hi
Mmm-baby, you and I-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-hi

Tell me the day and I'll set you free, what you wanna be
Tell me the way and I'll let you see, what you do to me
Well, it's not enough to live
If you're gonna take, then you have to give
We're for the dark, mm-baby, you and I

Show me the clouds and I'll give you sky if you want me to
Show me the crowds and I'll make you cry if you take me through
Well, it's not enough to be
If you gotta look, then you have to see

We're for the dark, mm-baby, you and I-hi
Baby, you and I-ah-hi
Baby, you and I-hi
Mmm-baby, you and I-hi-hi
Mmm-baby, you and I-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-hi

This actually brought tears to my eyes. Why was he the one to be sacrificed? And it did nothing. Polley lived to be over 80. Apple and The Beatles said nothing. Everyone wanted to wash their hands of him, it seems. Was he right in his suicide note? "I WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO LOVE AND TRUST EVERYBODY" Forty years later, seems so, doesn't it? Bless you for this, Dan Matovina. Keep carrying the torch. And ignore the jealous a-holes.

For every classic that Pete Ham wrote and performed, there are at least five that should have been but never were. I love the way he wrote lyrics too - direct, yet always being a little mysterious too. Thankfully we have performances like this to remember Pete (and Tommy) by. Pete's best songs, including this one, are good enough to rival Lennon/McCartney. Too many of the great artists leave us far too soon.

amazing performance, no effects just true talent

God bless Dan Matovina! And I reserve judgement for Stan Polley, piece of shit he was.
