- I can't stand to see you sad
I can't bear to hear you cry
If you can't tell me what you need
All I can do is wonder why
Someday, someway aww
Someday, someway, yeah now
Someday, someway
Maybe I'll understand you
After all you've done for me
All I really want to do
Is take the love you brought my way
And give it all right back to you
Someday, someway
Someday, someway yeah yeah
Someday, someway
Maybe you'll understand me
You've taken everything from me
I've taken everything from you
I'll love you for my whole life through
Now after all you've done for me
All I really want to do
Is take the love you brought my way
And give it all right back to you
Someday, someway aww
Someday, someway, yeah now
Someday, someway maybe you'll understand me
You've taken everything from me
I've taken everything from you
I'll love you for my whole life through
I can't stand to see you sad
I can't bear to hear you cry
If you can't tell me what you need
All I can do is wonder why
Someday, someway
Someday, someway yeah yeah
Someday, someway
Maybe I'll understand you
Someday, someway aww
Someday, someway, yeah yeah
Someday, someway
Maybe you'll understand me
RIP to Rockabilly's most eloquent gift to Rock & Roll, the one and only Robert Gordon. May Divine Winds gently guide you on your journey, Robert.🙏
Robert has in this video an amazing group of musicians, Danny Gatton and Lance Quinn on guitars, Tony Garnier on electric bass and Shannon Ford on drums...THAT WAS A BAND..
Yep, he sure does. This is SICK! Seriously, Robert Gordon singing lead and Danny Gatton playing that Telecaster! Good Lord!
Unreal band.
Holeeeey christ
...happenin'...!
Marshall Crenshaw wrote this and his version is far superior.
R.I.P. Mr. Gordon. Robert passed away today at the age of 75...
RIP, Robert. Thanks for keeping rockabilly going.
Just saw on the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame that Robert had died. I went to high school with him. Great guy with an amazing voice. Godspeed Robert.
That’s what you call a perfect performance by every member of the band…
GOD DAMN this f'ing year. Saw him live in '14 and he looked different but was still sounding great. RIP RG. We'll see you again down the road...someday, someway...
Robert Gordon with Danny Gatton on lead git--wow! I didn't appreciate the virtuosity when I watched this on SCTV as a teen. Now I sure do.
Thank you for sharing your talent with the world, Robert. You are already missed. 💔
The musical guests on SCTV Network 90 were/are mostly excellent and have stood the test of time, just as the show as a whole has. It took me years to realize this is the late great Danny Gatton on guitar. Seek out the great guest appearance by Dave Edmunds in the SCTV sketch "I was a teenage communist".
R.I.P. Robert Gordon. Thansk for all the great music and all the great memories ❤❤❤❤💔
I’ve been gigging for 40 yrs I’ve watched the humbler Danny Gatton’ to me the best Tele player I’ve seen 🎶🙏
Much more than that. Danny Gatton was the greatest all round guitar player who has ever played! He could play in ANY genre. I can’t think of anybody who could do what he could do.
@@johnemerson5428 I agree John 🙏
@@johnemerson5428 Danny Weis- even Danny Gatton would tell you that (if he could)
The best voice of the '80s neo-rockabilly era. Great talent.
I was just blown away byRobert Gordon and this incredible band when it aired on SCTV some forty years ago. Gordon is an amazing talent.
His great face matches his talent-- he keeps that snappin "snappin"!!
Remember seeing Gordon and Link Wray together....what a crazy night!!!!
Followed him on Long Island.
Here paying my respect, i will listen to my favourite songs and watch The Loveless late night. Thank you Rockabilly legend. RIP
Radio station WHFS Bethesda, MD played the hell out of this version back in 1982. That's because Robert Gordon is from Bethesda.
Perfect voice for this song! He brings the song to life.
Excellent! RIP Robert and Danny
I was fortunate to see RG with Danny Gatton's band in SF and Berkeley Ca in early 80s. The Bekeley Square concert was recorded and later released as The Humbler. 2:14 Gattons inspired quitar solos were the best I had ever heard before and since. There were less than 200 people in the audience. My daughter and I were there. RG was in splendid voice and with that band it was powerful
Rest in peace beautiful angel, I think about you EVERY day and so regret that I never had the chance to meet you. I so desperately wanted to. Fly high 💓
Just listen to the tone Danny Gatton wrings from the guitar. So good to see him smiling. RIP.
That's the problem with depression... high highs and devastating lows. It is awful to think that a talent and skill as great as that fell to a moment of despair. This, and the death of Ian Curtis were like spears. Being able to relate is not always a good thing, I am sad to report.
@@andrewvida3829 lost my best friend that way so i can relate to your post....hang in there
@@jeffreylancaster7571 We do what we can.
Absolutely effortless, as well. He was a genius; may he RIP.
robert and danny what a combo...
Robert with Danny Gatton- Simply Fantastic!
Love the way everything just seems so effortless. When you have talent to spare--it is. God bless all of them.
When I was 17 years old in 1979, I bought Robert Gordon’s album Rock Billy Boogie. I didn’t have a lot of money back then, so every album had to be something special. Most of the albums I bought when I was in high school were selected after reading reviews by Steve Simels.
Steve Simels and other writers for Stereo Review Magazine were a huge influence on my music taste and the music I have listened to most of my life. I wish I knew Steve personally so I could tell him how important he is to me.
I follow the Powerpop blog that Steve does, but he has not posted in almost two months. I hope he is doing well.
RIP Robert Gordon.
I remember watching this on SCTV when it first aired and thought wow what a great rockabilly song (which I learned was written by Marshall Crenshaw). Later I discovered his cover of another Marshall Crenshaw song “Something’s Gonna Happen” which is also great rockabilly song (and also featured the immortal Danny Gatton on guitar). I was always amazed back then when this song “Someday, Someway” only got into the 70’s of the Top 100 and “Something’s Gonna Happen” failed to chart! RCA actually dropped Robert Gordon right after these songs saying he wasn’t commercially viable enough!
Rest Peacefully Sir. A magical talent has passed.
I feel like he should be performing at Arnold's, with Richie and Fonzie and the rest watching!
Those were great shows in the 80's at the "Lone Star Cafe" downtown NYC ,with Chris Spedding on guitar. 'Nothing like listening to this shit 10 feet away,with a few beers in ya' . Great voice,and really knows how to pick his musicians.....Also.., God bless you Danny !
Max's KC also...
Amen bro.......
The Bayou in central Washington, DC. 😍🤩 I just wish I could see video of me from those days, too!!
Aways got a stiff neck at Lone Star having to look right all time
I remember the Lone Star!
Lot's of good times there.
Amazing...I am brought to my knees. My guitar speaks volumes because of this and Marshall's creation. Rock On!
RIP Robert. Your music will live on.
R.I.P Robert Gordon. Sad day.
Best SCTV episode!
That was the first time I heard this song and I liked it immediately and have so ever since.
you forgot the show with Third World
MAXIMUS: I WAS JUST ABOUT TO COMMENT about seeing this video on Second City. I enjoyed that show also.
And the smoke rolling out the car
I saw Robert Gordon perform live in Brooklyn on NYE many moons ago.
Robert Gordon RIP 10/17 - always in the groove
I saw Robert Ford and Danny Gatton Play at Club Soda in Washington DC in the 1980's once. Looking back, I wonder what two of the most talented people were doing at this TINY venue. An older brother of a friend of mine implored us to go and that we would be blessed to see magic. The band was very good. I was about 20 years old.
Just heard this today for the first time. Lucky me!
watching this because it was shown on a big screen at a morrissey pre show in birmingham on 27th february 2018 , love it x
Same with Glasgow, had forgotten about this version and usually listen to the original by Marshall crenshaw
Rest in Peace and thank you for the music.
My old Boss of over 20 years,went to school with/knew the writer of this song,Marshall Crenshaw was that writer.He also played Buddy Holly in the LaBamba Movie
I have ordered this man for 35 years and I got to meet him about 8 years ago small venue and upstate New York he was so gracious and wonderful I'm a big rockabilly fan and he is my absolute favorite
I meant adored!
Ann Healey You probably excited a few men with the original " ordered" !
My favorite voice EVER
I love anything he sings! It could be pop goes the weasel and I'd live it!!
Ann Healey And you would LOVE it too I'm sure.
Ruhe in Frieden Robert und vielen Dank für die wunderbare Musik die Du uns geschenkt hast. 🎙🎶
He was the best...Lone Star NYC. Blue Christmas. RIP Robert.
Always great. Saw him and his band several times at clubs on Long Island.
Holy Sheep Shit!!! Robert Gordon w/ the immortal Danny Gatton & his Telly .... saw them at the Cellar Door in DC back in the day .... incredible
I remember this song slowly gathering steam here in NY in the early 80s. First it was played on WNEW-FM. Then commercial rock station WPLJ picked up on it. Looked for all the world like RG was going to be a big star. Then...nothing. Never could figure it out.
The twang in that guitar sound is just the bomb!
I could See Him and Link jammin' Now, truly Missed...
oh now, thank you Robert Gordon + musicians
Blessings upon Danny Gatton, wherever he may be. World is that much poorer a place without him in it.
First he ends up as the assistant to the traveling secretary for New York Yankees , Now George Louis Costanza is playing guitar for Robert Godon! You Go George! (Great version of this awesome song) :)
Rip legend

Is Mr. Gordon having health issues? I am asking because of your fairly recent comments.
I also see (from online research) Mr. Gordon is actually nearing his seventh decade. My how time flips, flops and flies!
I have seen Robert Gordon perform live exactly twice--once in the very early 1990s at a now-defunct club called Nightstage in Cambridge, MA, and again actually on June 17, 1994, the very evening of a certain infamous police chase (in California) of a suspect in a white Ford Bronco. I had never seen so many people watching the television screens at a bar as I did that evening, not even for a sporting event. But, fortunately, Mr. Gordon's set that evening took most persons in the bar away from the TV screens long enough to become immersed in his more enjoyable performance. Both times I saw (and heard) Mr. Gordon live I was tremendously impressed by his energy and the authenticity (to rockabilly) of his shows.
I also briefly chatted with Mr. Gordon that evening of 06-17-1994, just as he was arriving at the also-now-defunct roots music club known as Johnny D's (in Somerville, MA). The one thing I remember most was Mr. Gordon referred to some guy as a "cat," which conveyed to me he had really absorbed that rockabilly lingo as part of his everyday vocabulary. Either that or he affected that lingo whenever he appeared in public. In any case, he was convincing.
You also stated your "friend penned the song." So I gather your friend is Marshall Crenshaw.
By the way, my former band appeared, along with a track by Chris Spedding, on the European version of a Buddy Holly tribute CD. I gather Mr. Crenshaw must also be a fan of Holly's music, since he portrayed Holly in the Richie Valens biopic "La Bamba," as well was in the reunion band in the film "Peggy Sue Got Married" starring Kathleen Turner and Nicholas Cage. That latter film was also the last film role of that great character actor Leon Ames, perhaps best remembered now for his role as neighbor "Colonel Gordon Kirkwood" in the TV sitcom "Mister ED." Ames replaced Larry Keating (who had played "Wilbur Post's" acerbic neighbor "Roger Addison"), when Keating died suddenly after the start of the series' fourth season.
Anyway, my best wishes to Mr. Gordon.
They really did a good job with the song.....its amazing.
RIP, another great talent gone
The best thing ever to come out of Bethesda Maryland
An amazing talent that will be truly missed...
What a great showing. I really dig this performance.
Never forgot seeing him years ago on Second City TV when he sang this kickass number! Love ya Robert!
Rest in peace, Brother.
I saw this dude in concert maybe 10 or 5 times in NYC back in the day. Always Rocking@! Awesome shows.
Saw Robert last weekend at the Nashville Boogie Weekend...Still rocking hard and sounded GREAT!!!
The Voice in his prime, along with the late, great Gatton. Sheer perfection!
WOW! didn't expect to see Danny Gatton here!
Awesome
Hey Riffs... I discovered this already 35 years ago.... still Love it and always will
El primer disco que me compré en mi vida, cuando tenía 16 años y cobré mi primera paga, fue "Too fast to live, to young to die" de Robert Gordon con Link Wray y Chris Spedding. Para mi siempre serás el primero y el ultimo, ha habido muchos pero solo uno con ese talento y esa gran voz, para siempre en nuestros corazones!
Great song. Well done.
Fabulous singer and band. SOLID GOLD!!!
Best version of this song. Has a nice classic rock feel. Robert, Danny and the band did a great job. Sadly Danny Gatton who was rich in talent and had everything going for him decided to take his own life.
It's good, but lacks the heart Marshall's version has. Robert's version is tougher and I'd certainly love it if it was the only version available. It just seems they're forcing a song that needs no forcing.
Man this rock n roll!
So good
Wow ! Great version ! And it includes George Costanza on Rhythm guitar !
Dude, a little respect. THE LATE AND GREAT Danny Gatton
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Gatton
@@kuvasz5252 I was referring to the Rhythm Guitarist. Not Danny Gatton.
@@dillondrew thank you for posting with kindness! still remember the first time one of my buddies brought me to a Gatton show.
The late great danny gatton on gee tar!
+Lyndal walker I thought that was him!
Rockabilly’s last champion. Rest in peace..
One of a kind!!!!
Great band and great video!
What a band
Saw him with Chris Spedding at Slim's in San Francisco - Incredible show!!!!!!!!
