- Another great track from Rory. A sad subject in that it's about losing the girl, but somehow it's a real feel-good song at the same time.
LYRICS-
I've cried enough tears to fill up an ocean,
Surely you see that my world's been broken?
Here I am, where are you?
Help me please, pull me through.
Here I am, where are you?
All my days are edged in blue.
You made up your mind and nothing can change it,
You want to be free but I can't rearrange it.
Here I am, where are you?
Tell me please, what to do,
Here I am, broken into,
All my days are edged in blue.
I'd go anywhere, if I thought you'd be there,
'Cos I've made up my mind that's where I belong.
I've traveled the world 'cos I couldn't be told,
Told by my heart that you really had gone.
I'd go anywhere, if I thought you'd be there,
'Cos I've made up my mind that's where I belong.
I've traveled the world 'cos I couldn't be told,
Told by my heart that you really had gone.
Yeah....
Our lines got crossed through all things unspoken.
A tangle of knots not easily opened,
Here I am, where are you?
Help me please, pull me through.
Here I am, where are you?
All my days are edged in blue.
Here I am, where are you?
Help me please, pull me through,
Here I am, where are you?
Can't you see I'm edged in blue.
Ohhh.......
Ohhh.......
Ok fellows I saw Rory once in my life and that was after a Rory critic in a Munich newspaper The "Abendzeitung" wrote about Rory the next day "Wahnsinnsgitarist Rory Gallagher . Which means if you want to translate it in English nothing else but Super super excellent guitarist. To make long story short I bought a ticket th very next day for a concert following about 2 or 3 weeks later. I saw Rory play life and that was with Taste his first band. now I saw a hell lot of great old good bands in my life like Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Canned Heat, Chuck Berry, Santana, and so on... But what I still remember about Rory was that he literally "jumped" on the stage started playing in a way the blew my mind. I moment later i noticed something that drew him apart from everyone else I ever saw. He played a totally "run down a terribly old" and instrument . I was so shocked and as naive as I was at that time I felt sorry for him and I thought to myself " Poor fellow had not got enough money to buy a better guitar !! " . But then I listened and after half an hour it was cristal clear he played litarally everyone that i ever heard against the wall. In german that means he was the best I had ever heard at that time with one notable exception "Jimi Hendrix". But my second thought was he must have prctised a hell lot that is why his guitar was totally battered. Yeah I still remember this one concert and I have heard a hell lot of concerts in my life cause Iam already pretty old. Jörg
No doubt you
Have read there were years of playing nearly every night. Thats the best kind of practice and he did say in an interview when asked that he practiced a couple hours a day…
This intro is incredible.... Sweet like a dreem.. Pure sound.. Rory forever. Thanks for emotion
I have discovered Rory...my life is complete.
Or, you have found out that there is huge emptyness in your life.
Here are you! Where is Rory!!?
Hey its been a couple months since I was introduced to him. Great time in my life to hear him.
congratulations Steven :)
Omg what a gift 🎁 this musIc!
@@misstery5942 Hey I've been a fan since 69 Welcome aboard :) Peace
Somehow during many years of listening to Rory's incredible music I had managed to miss this track until a few months ago. I was spellbound hearing it for the first time. He was truly an incomparable artist, one of the all-time greats. Though he never received the recognition he so richly deserved in the US, I hope he knew how much he mattered to those of us who were lucky enough to discover his music. His life was much too short, but his music and its magic will live forever.
well said I have friends into guitar and most don't get him, once you get the g man u can't go any further he lives inside you it's that special.
+Stuart Gudgeon "He lives inside you" -- exactly! There's such a depth of feeling in his music, and when that resonates with you it's irresistible.
Bunnylands so ture rory Will never fade away my grandchildern are into him also margot
northlander is loved*
there are not many of us in the states who know and love Rory, but we are PASSIONATE about him enough to make up for the numbers!!! Rory Forever!!
To me, this is his best studio song. I just drift away, listening to it.
It´s little more than a year now since I visited his grave in Cork.
R.I.P. Rory
Once you really get into Rory you realize just how versatile he was. He played folk, blues, jazzy stuff with Taste, hard rock that influenced a lot of metal, good ol classic rock like this one. He has a song for every mood for me.
Rory the 7th son of a 7th son, this mans brilliant music has healing powers, if you listen to Rory tunes, he will become your doctor of feeling good, you will gain the greatest understanding of the people of this world.
Underrated comment
So sorry you're gone RG. Miss u madly.
A master piece. A unique artist.
I'm 58 and can NOT believe I only just discovered Rory's music this year (2021) May his music last another 50 years
Hard to believe that Chris Wright (Chrysalis Records) had wanted to chop out this beautiful intro and make the track shorter in order to get a hit single in the US!
..But still, he should have gone ahead and done it.
Rory certainly wrote many beautiful ballads, something I feel many folk overlook. Not only was he blessed lyrically and musically, he had the sweetest voice and could go from this tearjerker into Bullfrog Blues (for example). A most versatile musician whom I have enjoyed immensely for decades. RIP Rory.
This is what I'm trying to tell people as well. He was also proficient at several instruments; He played a guitar AND sax solo on the song Can't Believe It's True
@@theherbpuffer Also on On The Boards and It's Happened Before, It'll Happen Again, both on the Taste - On the Boards album
The thing with Rory....he was an incredibly passionate performer , amazing guitar player.....but.....his music was so diverse and enjoyable to just listen to......great album songs.....great deep cuts.....the whole deal...
Every note Rory plays touches your soul like nothing else!
You're so right!
True
well, sum one help the poor soul who voted thumbs down on this tune, apparently you can come to a music video sight and still not have any taste for great music, poor, poor soul...maybe one day...if your real lucky...you'll come to a crossroads...and learn what great blues music really is...rest in peace Rory, no body makes a strat sing like Rory can!!!
Awsome ...Rory forever in our hearts....
One of the great ballads of Rory!!magnificent!!!!
Brings back a lot of memories he was so talented
rock of the highest quality - authenticity and preservation of the essence of the genre.
Beautiful song I went to see Rory twice in concert and those memories will stay with me all my life Lee Hambleton from Sheffield
Beautiful song, sadly missed
The Irish hurricane.....rock on Rory
You said it brother............Irish hurricane for sure!!!! 🇮🇪
I love lot's of Rory songs. This one has resonated with me for a long time. I am emotional and with the world's loss it is happy and sad. My girlfriend, Rory. Lot's of stuff. Happy Memorial Day Weekend! So many many people sacrificing everything for us.
Rory was the best ever.. he did get good recognition in the U.S. He was a hit on the hippie FM stations, this is not the Partridge Family, or Donny Osmond.. this is album oriented rock..and he got good recognition, from the right type of folks..he did not play pop..he rocked!!
the Germans love him
+Michael Craig, I understand what you're saying -- yes, he clearly DID get recognized as someone truly special by all of us in the U.S. (and elsewhere) who "got" him. However, in the U.S. he never achieved anything close to "mainstream" recognition among rock music fans, despite being a phenomenal guitarist and altogether amazing musician. Look at any list of "greatest guitarists" and you'll see how little respect is paid to Rory. I know these lists are a joke -- a way to sell magazines, mostly -- but if you were to ask any guitar players you know to name their favorite guitarists or their personal influences, I'd be surprised if you heard Rory's name mentioned very often. Ah well, when he was playing and all that heart and soul was pouring out from him and the band, he could feel the love and appreciation coming back. I'd like to think that somewhere his spirit still feels it from us. RIP to a great, great musician.
Bunnylands I think he's very highly regarded by most blues/Rock even indie players like johnny Marr claim to b highly influenced by Rory, slash too any serious guitarist will eventually come across him although the Hendrix quote is a untrue myth jimi certainly knew and regarded him highly. The music and popularity of Rory Gallagher will only get bigger because the music is simply that fuckin good it can't b ignored, to quote the man himself "they don't make them like u anymore, that's for sure"
+Bunnylands I know, he was not as famous as Led Zeppelin or Jimi, or the Beatles, no, but he surely deserved to be!!!
+Bunnylands Yes that is true, but all the guitarists say how great he is!! He gets much respect from us!!
this is why RUclips is amazing. I've been hearing about this artist for years and finally, just by chance came across this video. What an amazing musician! Thanks dubguy!
I love everything in Rory's catalog, but "Calling Card" might be my favorite.
Roy Buchanan was a big influence on Rory and you can really hear it on this tune :) Peace
I am a huge Rory fan but didn’t know this one … until the cook I work with had it on a playlist !
it's great to see the pics of my fav bluesman, the world's greatest blues rock guitarist..at the same time, i feel sad and on the verge of tears cos he is no longer with us...i know where he is, up in heaven in the arms of the angels...miss u, rory, forever will.
Love and miss Rory! I was so lucky to see him in concert and meet him!
C'est un très bel hommage à Rory que tu as fais là 'Rock never gets old'. Belles images et bonne chanson !
Nils Lofgren, not NILES....I was forcefully told is how the name is pronounced, & Rory were introduced to me in '77 by my employee. I managed a Radio Shack, just as terrible a company then as now, so we could listen to their stuff ad nauseum! 😵😵 That was a nice perk.
a great song from rory for you...
I miss you.
Rory is.by far the best musician I've ever heard and seen
Magnifique morceau de ce musicien exceptionnel...!!!
I cry enough taers to file up en ocean when i think you are gone Sleep Easy RORY, Margo,
She Moved Thro' The Fair-Ann Cran is a beautiful not so well known Rory Gallagher acoustic song hope you like it :) Peace
Karen, so glad you favorited this one! I'd have never seen it. Rory was amazing, I'm a little choked up watching it.
Miss you Rory forever ❤❤🎶
I wonder if Rory was in a relationship at this time. He picked the road, but I read a article and Donal said that Rory was sad he never settled down or had children. It brings tears, but what a beautiful song. Rory On Everyone ❤
No cry, no cry. But I'm crying
This is one of my favorite Rory Gallagher songs, and I pretty much like them all.
Really nice video of Rory. :)
Για παντα εδω κοντα μας!
Yea im from st.louis too. and your right, ever now and then kshe would play a rory song on the classics show. just glad i got 2 see him live most peaple were there too see rush, not me i was there 2 see rory and loved it. And yea he was a guitar players guitar player ,my opinion one of the most underated, and one of the greatest too ever play.
I did the same thing up here at notre dame.....rush was playing the stadium there and Rory was opening. I stayed for Rory's set and left....me and a handful of people in the whole stadium were the only ones that appreciated rorys music...so sad....he was fantastic
edged in blue and what is the best ever In all his sights on this world of human beings in deep desperation and I think that he felt so so much not given that opportunity for his own life and his life and love for us the grateful listener.this world would need to Rory. for the patch of grey clouds coming out there and not just the same day a day where young generation is again in the midst of the same period as to what "god" command "noah" to make that ark that saved a dying world. hope fully understand as we will have been working together for the next times to make sure that we are going to be able to work together!!! KARIN and the rest of the same thinkers cause we are more than a million years miles away to see what happens when your body gets into your ground being burned and we lost more than that 1 Earth. KARIN
OMG WOW what a heartbreakering song.

Love Rory. He was a musical genius.

Calling Card is my fav Album.

If they ever do a movie about Rory, I think John Cusak would be a close look alike to play him.
Yes he would have the look but he could never get the soft cork accent I live 70miles away and it’s impossible to copy. Sla’n go foil a Rory,ta tu an far. 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪
Twice in my life I saw and heard Rory playing life on stage and I was amazed. He was certainly one of the greatest guitarists, songwriters and poets ever the world had seen! Rory, I will always love you!
In his younger days he was the most beautiful man I've ever seen 😍
I've got a Rory Gallagher tribute guitar made by dy guitars I live it Rory forever
