Crow – Thoughts

Here’s a great song from Crow. “Thoughts” is from their debut album: Crow Music released in 1969. Crow is best known for their hit single “Evil Woman (Don’t You Play Your Games With Me),” which was covered by Black Sabbath less than a year later, as well as “(Don’t Try To Lay No Boogie Woogie On the) King Of Rock and Roll” and “Slow Down.” (Which are more on the hard rock/blues boogie side).

But this song is one of their most psychedelic, and dare I say, progressive rock songs they’ve recorded. This song is just full of emotion, especially on the more dark and sorrowful side. This is easily one of my favorite songs by Crow.

Lineup:
David Wagner – Lead Vocals
Dick Wiegand – Lead Guitars
Larry Wiegand – Bass
Kink Middlemist – Keyboards
Denny Craswell – Drums

===LYRICS===
I Look into the dark of night
and see the sun in glory’s flight

I gaze with wonder at such things
as plastic men with silver wings
do my eyes believe what they see?

I look over the windless way
to shivering lights on the bay

I see the vast and changing man
turning into grains of sand

what does this mean?

My eyes he took with face turned white
and screamed into the sky with fright
why must we fight?

I cannot cry for anything
for I sit by

while they can sing
Enjoy!
