Judas Priest - Mother Sun (Reading 1975, better sound)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 авг 2024
- Judas Priest performing Mother Sun, a track that never made it on any of their studio albums, at the Reading Rock Festival on 22nd August 1975. Only a guitar + vocal demo version was recorded in the studio, and the rights to this recording (along with everything else they recorded with them) were lost when Judas Priest broke their contract with Gull Records in late 1976. Therefore, it is unlikely this demo version will ever surface.
This particular version comes from an alternative source tape, and not from the various bootleg CDs all other versions on RUclips are sourced from. It's seemingly recorded a bit closer to the stage so it better captures the band's playing instead of crowd noise.

Lyrics:
The liquid sun is pouring out her heart
To every living thing
And no one cares, but while she's there
Existence is getting you in
Yet every day, a piece of her is gone
Gone to give, never to return
So she sighs and slowly fries
Cause soon she knows she'll cease to burn
Mother, mother Sun
Thank you for what you gave us
Mother, mother Sun
I know that soon you'll leave
The rays of her
The Sun will go
The face of her
Upon the shore
And through her eyes
This song's for the hurting sky
Recoiling in her shining self
She says she's desperately for peace
Then she knows and as anger grows
She starts to swell praying for release
So now her body blasts the sky
Every age on her face
Then there's born by each shadow
Trees reflecting into space
(She's no longer )
Mother, mother Sun
Thank you for what you gave us
Mother, mother Sun
I know that soon you'll leave
The rays of her
The Sun will go
The face of her
Upon the shore
And through her eyes
This song's for the hurting sky
Mother please believe me
If you ever leave me
May it never prove of use
Sending light
Since time began
Through fall of man
Chaos has been self-inflicted
Now it's too late to talk of fate
At long last the plan has reacted
Throughout the universe harmony prevails
For every move that you make there is an equal
For all we have done
For the total of the sum
Here is the final sequel
The final sequel(x3)
Earth shall live no more
Justice will not arrive
Fathers must bear witness to
Destruction, destruction for all eternity
For every place that's 'neath
The falling sun
The age is over
Before their own soul
To redeem from a song
That brought an early Fall down
Glistening, shimmering, burning a hellfire sunset
Mother Sun
Thank you for what you gave us
Mother Sun
I know that soon you'll leave
The rays of her
The Sun will go
The face of her
Upon the shore
And through her eyes
This song's for the hurting sky
The Sun!
Oh Sun!
Mother please forgive me
Don't you ever leave me...
I never even knew this song existed until now! Definitely should have put it on an album.
Without his expert guitars, it sounds like a Uli Roth song. Like yourself, I've never heard of it until now. Do you know who wrote it??
@@marcstevens3761 sounds like a Downing/Halford song to me.
John Hinch said that Glenn wrote it There is an acoustic studio demo in the Gull vaults with just Rob/Glenn playing Garry Sharpe Young the rock book author Rip heard it himself one time
A shame this was not studio recorded, would have great on "Sad Wings"
Kirk Mantis or in "Rocka Rolla" album.
I was thinking Sin After Sin!
When I was in high school a friend came back from a summer vacation in (I think) the Bahamas and said he saw JP at a festival there and they sang a song "Prisoner of Your Eyes" that never appeared on any of their albums. I smiled and agreed with him, but didn't actually believe him until a few years later when "Prisoner of Your Eyes" appeared on a special edition of one of their albums.
Anyway, the moral of the story is, all their stuff is awesome aand I hope that, before they finally hang it up, they put out a special collection of all of their unreleased songs.
@@fishcious think your prayers have been answered. Have you seen the new box set?
@@fishcious When did that happen?
Even from the early album tracks you knew they were going to be special & 5 years later they released British steel one of metals greatest ever albums. Up the Priest!!!
British Steel is great, but even this unreleased song is better. 70' Judas were just better
This song really has a Sin After Sin vibe. Would have been the perfect album closer.
Judas Priest have always been so much more than just a metal band. This track shows glimpses of progressive " thinking mans" metal.
Aaah Glen Tipton, even back then the melodicism was still there. Just listen to that phrasing, and the tone(strat+treble booster+british tube amp) that's obviously inspired by Rory Gallagher.
Jonah Fuerstenberg I love you
Has a bit of the Run Of The Mill feel to it, which isn't a bad thing at all.
Already at that time they were able to create some evolving songs with raw and heavy passage. Very cool ! Can you imagine if they had been signed on Columbia right from the start... Rock Rolla would had been a good record and Caviar and Meth and this Mother Sun would have been 2 more classics from the band ! I hope one day we will see some other things !
I think they didn't release this because it was a cover. They pretty much stuck to original songs, until Joan's Diamonds. Would have liked to hear the complete Caviar And Meths. Didn't like Alan singing an early version of Victim. They called it Whiskey Woman back then.
@@marcstevens3761 this is a cover? I don't think so, who did the original?
This has a very quintessential English folky quality doesn't it? I bet with a little polish this could have been a proper epic.
The band Portrait do a really good cover of this
It is already a proper epic. Very raw and pure.
It is Queen sound good guitar from Tipton. Just brilliant. Why didn’t they record it? It’s brilliant.imagine it on Sad Wings!!!
Honestly,I think it's their best ever song !
together with run of the mill
I agree. This song is real gem.
Could be Mercyful Fate as well.
Wish they would redo this.
Killer! Damn I wish there was a studio version as well...it would have been EPIC.
There is one. On the box set.
@@Bananenbennie can you upload it to youtube?
@@chromebull884 no its an official release
@@Bananenbennie like a studio recording?
@@chromebull884 No thats not what I said. I was talking about "Reflections - 50 years of heavy metal". A 42 CD boxset offical 2021 release with studio and live recordings.
Самая охуительнаяч песня ранних"Евреев"!Просто супер!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a great song . Very complex .
In my top 5 Priest songs
Halford !!!!!! ❤
Early beyond the relms of death
6:26 ❤
i like glenn and rob sing together on 2:50-3:43
Massively influenced by early Queen.
Interesting. I never heard this before. Wishbone Ash influenced.
I was also thinking Wishbone Ash.
I guess they felt is was the wrong direction for the band. Would love to have heard it studio mixed.
Who is doing the second voice, Tipton?
yup
@@aspookyknucklehead1309 thx for clearing that up
Does anyone know why this song was never recorded in a studio and released on an album??
0:39
Halford 6:27
I hear a lot of Queen in this.
Wonder what the band would think of this now ?
Halford says he likes it, and it's a shame they never got it recorded. They recorded a Guitar and vocal only demo back in 1975, and they should have a go at recording a proper version
@@Ryan_Thompson_Guitarist Wow, would be great to take that original vocal, and guitar, add bass/drums and add it as a bonus track on the next album.
Worthy of release on a box set is the answer to your question
3:40+
to Иосиф Сталин - при чем тут евреи?
Too many ballads early on.
Their ballads were awesome. Fuck all the TRVE METAL gatekeepers.
...why so serious?...almost spinal tappish, I can see the dwarfs a dancin already..lol
More like a Queen song -- not really at all Spinal "Tappish" -- although Spinal Tap is partly based upon the Born Again era of Black Sabbath with Ian Gillan of Deep Purple as lead singer (in which Sabbath had dictated a small Stonehenge replica be built, but instead a GIANT Stonehenge was built, and a dwarf danced on top of it and fell off -- reverse "Tappish") and Judas Priest's name was inspired by Black Sabbath's name. But really this sounds way more like a Queen song such as "My Fairy King" (in which the lyric 'Mother Mercury' may be directly tied to the title of this track, "Mother Sun") with the layered vocals and higher pitched guitar, as opposed to Tony Iommi of Sabbath's downtuned guitar. Anyway... You must've failed your History of Rock & Roll 1970s/80s class.
The name Judas Priest comes from the Bible & was a disciple of Jesus... One of the original 12
@@fartkerson Judas Priest's name inspired by Sabbath? What?
@@blazze2k8 Wrong. The name comes from the Bob Dylan song "The Ballad Of Frankie Lee And Judas Priest"
@@AndE667 wrong, it's from one of the disciples of Jesus. And Judas Priest was slang for the British, much like Bloddy Hell a Bob Dylan song ? Hardly
