If you want somewhere to go when the day is done, If from the world appear in frustration, you try to run, Well, don’t look ahead because your problems have just begun. Life is a struggle, and no one has ever won. When hardships, misery and sorrow has got down, And your mind needs relief from the sadness that is all around, Well, don’t look ahead because your problems have just begun. Life is a struggle, and no one has ever won. You know that the world is cruel, so why pretend. And everything you do brings you closer to the end. You can never be content, so why do you even try. The only thing you do on earth is live and die. Alright, wail. When hardships, misery and sorrow got down, And your mind needs relief from the sadness that is all around, Well, don’t look ahead because your problems have just begun. Life is a struggle, and no one has ever won. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
what depressing negative lyrics. Wonderful. I thought for a minute as I read them that they were going to lead into Buddhism, the four noble truths and the path to enlightenment after admitting that life is cruel but there is a way out
That's, why Jim Morrison said: "No one gets out here alive". This was those type of lyrics and what was written at the time. Because in reality no one gets out of this life alive. Life may be a struggle but yet it's still worth living.
How did you obtain the lyrics ? This goes back to 1966 , and remember my friends early wild child sister playing this cool ass early punk, psych . I was about 9 years old .
I just want to feel emotions. Like something magical. I dont even cry often because im too lazy to cry but now i want to cry as i want and laugh as i want feel the love and everything
I did exist then, unfortunately I was in grade school. But even so, I loved the music, had older siblings. But would have been cool to be an adult then.
Жизнь - это борьба, в которой нельзя победить... Исход всегда один. Никогда не думал что этой истине меня научит песня гаражного рока из середины шестидесятых. Все философы которых я читал углубляются в вопросы жизни и смерти, сами по себе представляя ничто иное как проявление жизни. Они живут в голове у миллионов людей, даже если давно умерли. Но эта песня, она кажется полузабытой, и трудно представить сколько людей умрет так не послушав её. Это напоминает мне комнату, обклееную картинами таежного леса, и сам таежный лес, где комната - это мнение философии, а лес - эта песня. Чтобы изучить лес, нужно хотя бы раз побывать в нем лично, так и чтобы узнать о смерти, нужно хоть раз увидеть то, что умирало. Как хорошо что такой музыки так много, и как здорово чувствовать себя одним из немногих кто даёт ей жизнь. Боюсь того дня, когда я прослушаю все песни шестидесятых ... Автору спасибо за видео!
Very few people can handle it. Keep the psychological workers out of it. When you have chosen the lifestyle you like to live and you look after your wellness, you will hardly notice it.
First time of hearing this. Fab tune. Remonds me of ealry surf music with that guitar sound. Is it an Australian band. I only ask as it's on Melbourne Records. Is it available on any albums or cds today?
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
If you want somewhere to go when the day is done
If from the world appear in frustration, you try to run
Well, don’t look ahead because your problems have just begun
Life is a struggle, and no one has ever won
[Verse 2]
When hardships, misery and sorrow has got you down
And your mind needs relief from the sadness that is all around
Well, don’t look ahead because your problems have just begun
Life is a struggle, and no one has ever won
[Verse 3]
You know that the world is cruel, so why pretend
And everything you do brings you closer to the end
You can never be content, so why do you even try
The only thing you do on earth is live and die
{Alright, wail.}
[Solo]
[Verse 4]
When hardships, misery and sorrow got down
And your mind needs relief from the sadness that is all around
Well, don’t look ahead because your problems have just begun
Life is a struggle, and no one has ever won
Finally, a song that gives people hope.
Exactly :-3 love it
The haunting sound this song provides is amazing
Superb guitar nothing short of outstanding
A Melancholy guitar and a Melancholy song
Thanks, now I'm even more depressed.
Status Quo were The Spectres, Bon Scott from AC/DC was in a band called The Spektors, this band is The Specters.
Wow! This is amazing. The guitar work is brilliant.
Talking about depression in the mid 60's. I feel a lot of people wern't doing that. Very cool. I dig this song!
Me too..💀⚘
@@kylw3460 too
Mothers Little Helper and Paint it Black - Rolling Stones
People talked about that it and had it from the beginning of time and they had the blue's to but I kinda know what you mean 🙂
The Great Depression?
If you want somewhere to go when the day is done,
If from the world appear in frustration, you try to run,
Well, don’t look ahead because your problems have just begun.
Life is a struggle, and no one has ever won.
When hardships, misery and sorrow has got down,
And your mind needs relief from the sadness that is all around,
Well, don’t look ahead because your problems have just begun.
Life is a struggle, and no one has ever won.
You know that the world is cruel, so why pretend.
And everything you do brings you closer to the end.
You can never be content, so why do you even try.
The only thing you do on earth is live and die.
Alright, wail.
When hardships, misery and sorrow got down,
And your mind needs relief from the sadness that is all around,
Well, don’t look ahead because your problems have just begun.
Life is a struggle, and no one has ever won.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

This is the soundtrack of the Millennial's. Playing on a loop.

im more depressed rn, what a gem
interesting spooky chord changes and lovely vocal harmonies and reverby guitar.
Reminds me of the guitars you hear in surf music.
Great song!!!!❤
I just want to feel emotions. Like something magical. I dont even cry often because im too lazy to cry but now i want to cry as i want and laugh as i want feel the love and everything
This is SO great it makes me get goosebumps! True dark psychedelic sounds!!
The early punk/ garage/ psych is the tops of all those that followed in the late 60s! AUTHENTIC!
I'd like to hear an instrumental version of this. The guitar is perfect.
Beautiful guitar!
Cómo me hubiera gustado existir en esa época fascinante de los años 60
I did exist then, unfortunately I was in grade school. But even so, I loved the music, had older siblings. But would have been cool to be an adult then.

I find it very happy 😊
What a beauty!
Thank you for uploading the early psychedelic music. Really interesting.
It's free for me to listen to this song and fantasize after that I suffer again 😢
this needs a CD version
You're absolutely right. This masterpiece deserves a reissue, definitely.
Good news ! this song is on a compilation called Teenage Shutdown [I'm down today] in fabulous sound quality. Available on CD
@@halfdroid it has
@@psychedelicjim7093 Wow its on wiki en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teenage_Shutdown!_I%27m_Down_Today

If this was done acoustically three years sooner it would be a hit.
Thanks very refreshing . Thanks for putting year, helped me press it :-3
hypnotiq

"See You At The Top!" - Zig Ziglar.
superb
deep times in anticipation of the trippy times
you are right brother
cool song
Positive tune ..

Dépression has always been around throughout all the time periods, during mankind existence. Especially nowadays with what’s going on right now.
Very few people can handle it. Keep the psychological workers out of it. When you have chosen the lifestyle you like to live and you look after your wellness, you will hardly notice it.
they still have a bit of the Shadows guitar sound, yep it turns to sad psychedelia
"Allright, Wailll"
Reminds of I'm a living sickness by Calico Wall.
Cheer up mate.
First time of hearing this. Fab tune. Remonds me of ealry surf music with that guitar sound. Is it an Australian band. I only ask as it's on Melbourne Records. Is it available on any albums or cds today?
magic
Flip side is a cover of Count Five's ..........Psychotic Reaction......
Lovely 💋
Now I'm depressed.
Kicks fucking ass . Still tripping in 2019
great song even if the bass guitar and drums are mixed so low
gosh
Almost reminiscent of The Squires from CT
Letra muito boa para induzir ao uso de drogas ou ao suicídio. Tudo o que a humanidade precisa...
Chris Issac, anyine?
Imagine this song being covered by Joy Division
Um Excuse me sir..I am Victorious. I am a Survivor. I always win with my God's strength.
It’s just a song with a guy expressing himself. He’s not calling you depressed
what depressing negative lyrics. Wonderful. I thought for a minute as I read them that they were going to lead into Buddhism, the four noble truths.
Not for the suicidal!
Actually there were a few songs that did talk about being depressed...so it seems to me
speak for yourself
If you get this song recommendation, you’re probably on a CIA/FBI watchlist, lol. (You don’t commit suicide, you get “suicided.”)
Anyone know similar songs to this?
the dissonance shouldn't work, but it definitely does imo
edit: another one not on spotify though gdi
You know that the world is cruel so why pretend?
delicious depression
Is this band the same as pre- Status quo???
no
no

These guys Aussie?

Moody punk garage

"Life is a struggle and no one has ever won"...very pithy lyric excepting the cyborgs among us...no?
Not really.....
Terrible production
