I wouldn't call this an alternate version, per se. It sounds like Ozzy's just improvising to get a feel for the vocal melody. This was the first album where they started writing in the recording studio.
@@davidtoddmickens5558 Yeah, this is before he did that lol. These lyrics are literal nonsense, because they are only there for the sake of feeling out the vocal lines and what syllables might sound good. " I know what's going on You people don't really know When I fall in to your place What am I to do? If you go on with your load Don't you ever say Black Sabbath man with your hair so long Didn't realise what he said " This is meaningless babble, because they hadn't yet figured out what the meaning was going to be. It doesn't even rhyme. This is a very normal thing for songwriters to do, literally make up nonsense words to figure out what might sound good, and usually something interesting will emerge and from that they get an idea of what the song might be about. The word children seemed to stick out in this case. Ozzy would make up words just to put something to tape or to ear for geezer to then go in and write lyrics for.
Ok having listened to the song a few times now, I think this is a close estimation of the lyrics, if anyone has any suggestions, please post a reply Save me Save me Save me Save me Save me Save me I want you to understand What you gotta do with me People say they don't wanna know What you're gonna do with me Well I know that you just gotta go To the hall of misery Please don't start playing with my soul Let my soul go free Yeah! Now I sit here on my own looking in the sky at night Then I see a silver star come down and take me for a ride Then I look into your face, what do I seek for redemption Then you know your children too will go there with redemption Save me Save me Save me Save me And I know what's going on You people don't really know When I fall in to your place What am I to do?

@@Heaview just looked that up, don't really listen to death metal, think that needs a better ear than I have unfortunately. I'm good at Ozzy and most older metal bands

Sounds like it should have been called save me or save them I never hear children of the grave in this song. The alternate versions usually don't rhyme and this is an example but a damn good song 👌
I always loved the original version, but this demo is pretty top notch. Now all we need is a video that shows the actual lyrics. I see some tried to decipher the lyrics phonetically, and it's probably very very close, but I know I'm not alone in wanting to know the actual lyrics to this version.
@@domdonofrio7974 Impressive. I assume you have your sources. I first heard Sabbath around '76 (always late to the party!). Maybe you know the answer to MANY (semi friendly) dust ups we had over Vol. 4. Who is that on the front cover? EVERYONE says Ozzy, (just like they all want to believe Ozzy wrote all of the lyrics) but since when did Ozzy have a nose like that? (I say it's Geezer). What do you say?
@@meetontheledge1380 Absolutely Ozzy on the cover. There used to be a show called Behind the music remastered. It featured Sabbath twice. Butler said that Ozzy didn't get enough credit for the lyrics he came up with. The great lyrics are Geezer. I was shocked that Ozzy wrote the lyrics to The Writ.
@@domdonofrio7974 Thanks for the response. I am also shocked he wrote The Writ! I've seen the footage where Butler made the statement you reference. I've always wondered about the cover, but all sources say it is Ozzy (which clears me to spend $25 on a cheap t-shirt on Amazon that has the Vol 4 cover- not that I wouldn't be proud of a picture of any of them!). Impossible to name (less than) a top 30 of Sabbath, but Tomorrow's Dream, Supernaut and Snowblind would be there
This must be one that Ozzy wrote the lyrics to. They said he was really good at coming up with a melody for their songs making up some words on the go. Then Geezer would be the one who would come up with the classic lyrics we all know.
I love this demo into how Ozzy created vocal melodies. Say what you want but Ozzy benefited from bass players that could write lyrics. Geezer, Daisley, Lemmy.

The bassist wrote all the words for all black sabbath

I wanna know the lyrics for "Living in the Unlight" from In Memorian (death metal group) ahaha!

@@adamfish1995 no offense but not death metal bro, heavy metal 🤘
This is why GeeZer wrote the lyrics ;-)
I would like to read these lyrics as they are are hard to decipher (given the age of the recording no offence to uploader)

TOO BAD

Couldn’t agree more
this is badass! can't quite make out the lyrics, but from what I can make out, it sounds intense!

SAY MEOW!
SAVE THEM!!
Damn fucking right
or maybe ..SATAN!!
STAY THERE!
Outstanding
go fucking crazy
Like this version better this the stuff here raw emotion
This is why they don't let Ozzy write lyrics.
improv is hard lol
You would be surprised by how many lyrics were written by Ozzy. Mostly Vol.4 The great songs are Geezer. The Writ is actually all Ozzy.

If someone had not put the lyrics there I would never know what he was saying
Surprising, he had a very clear delivery for the heavy music.
@@walkingwounded3824 I'm not saying no one can understand it I'm saying I can't
@@bollweevil1976 Oh, I understand, sorry if I came off as perturbed or anything!
@@walkingwounded3824 no offense taken at all
@@bollweevil1976 Good, cuz like 5 sung by Ozzy songs have come into my mind where it took me years to understand the words! lol
saay yeahhh !!!
Yeah!!!
It's save me
Best version In my opinion.
It's good but I like the one that was on the album better
Yea fuck totally 69-71=real black sabbath no censorship straight worship
This one
I can see why they went with the other version.

As with Warpigs, I love the original thought and feeling of where they were when they drove this amazing music.
o yea wi wouuu wassh and wear wui loviu esa mamada;/

I think I like it more than the orignal.
