Lyrics:
Now she sits by the riverside
Watching the waters glide by
With a sigh
And the things she put faith in
Are ripples just waving her by
With a sigh
She sees lovers pass by with much more than a kiss
Ah, this is a girl who had everything
Finds she's nothing at all
Now the wind seems so cold
Seems so old as it laughs at her fears
And her tears
And as ducks swim away from her
Visions of past love appear
In her tears
She sees love in his face as she tells him to go
And so here's a girl who had everything
Finds she's nothing at all
What would she say if she saw him, yeah
Now that she's gone, man, you're losing
Now you can see what she's seeing, yeah
For sure she's more than just choosing
Now she sits by the riverside
Watching the waters glide by
With a sigh
And the things she put faith in
Are ripples just waving her by
With a sigh
She sees lovers pass by with much more than a kiss
Ah, this is a girl who had everything
Finds she's nothing at all
Discovering this band feels like finding some leftover music from an alternate dimension where these guys were the biggest band in the world in the 70s and some of their music made its way crossing over into our dimension where it's little known but highly appreciated.
Mandela effect
More popular today than 50 years ago. Only special bands can do that.
Well put, and accurate. The lads from the group often appear on RUclips chats, nowadays
Probably not. Go to your local high school and see how many of the kids even heard of GG. Not many I would guess.
@@hon8177 They're selling more music today than they did in the '70s. Beatles can't even do that.
@@hon8177 GG never got the air play in the Caliofornia markets I lived in. I heard that for 2024 GG sold some 2M+ albums. First two years for GG they sold less than 400k.
One of the most brilliant rock bands.
The most
Música para músicos, compleja, y de altísima calidad
prog - rock ^ - )
I am leaning towards saying THE MOST BRILLIANT rock band... but they are THE MOST BRILLIANT PROG ROCK BAND.
I fully agree
People are too simple to understand the brilliance of this band. Music like this is math, physics, philosophy, and astronomy. Brilliance.
MAGNIFICENT BAND... way above the more celebrated Genesis, EL&P, even Yes! Gentle Giant members are all multi-instrumentalists with a very high level of musicianship AND amazing compositional skills. This is the very best band from the UK Progressive era.
Gentle Giant and Camel really of just The UK Bands were by far the two best ones.
ELP is pretty good,cant stand Yes or Genesis. Tend more towards Krautrock than Brit Prog though even though the time signatures are definitely crazy and very experimental to this day. Bands like CAN,Neu!,Amon Düül ii,Mythos, Wallenstein,Hölderlin,etc. I do also enjoy Camel though alongside ELP and GG though.
Above Genesis? No. NO. NOOOOOOOOOO.
@@ToxicTurquoise454 Sure! As much as I love all those bands, the level of musicianship of Gentle Giant is just something else. These guys are phenomenal!
@italoop style aswell I think
So fortunate to have seen them live back in the early 70's.
Ditto ;- )
Went to see Alvin Lee in SF and was blown away by GG opening the show.
i envy you guys so much
Lucky you!
Me too
Could this be the most underrated band of all time? Overlooked and just magnificent!
They were big in Canada.
Saw them at sold out Montreal Forum, 1974
The band simply tells me the story of my life. Listening to them since I was 12. That was 40 years ago. Four decades and never stopped listening
I was introduced to GG by my sister, Katherine. She's 4 years older than me. She bought the Free Hand LP. I deeply listened to it - Marantz sound system with tri-axial speakers/15" woofers...
GLORIOUS. That and Aja by Steely Dan. Oh, yeah... there was Boston around then, too... Lot's of great stuff. GG is EXTRAORDINARILY SPECIAL.
Gary Green guitar is special. Many great prog bands in that time had very talented gutarists but only Gary Green had such obvious blues roots.
Do you know jethro tull? they've had many guitarists, but you can see blues roots in many of them, and it's very clear in the first album.
So many talented guitarists around that time, as you say... My personal favourite was Phil Miller from Hatfield and The North.
Shades of Simon and Garfunkel... Shades of Crosby, Stills and Nash... but...
What? Of course it's Gentle Giant!! Incomparable.
Indeed. Even shades of Franz Liszt! Such a shame...that they didn't have the recognition 50 years ago.
The Schulman Bros were amazing. Pride of Portsmouth !
One of GG’s most beautiful, haunting tracks, and on their first album. 1970 saw some awesome stuff released and this was one of the best!
"Think of me with kindness" is a fave of mine too
This is the first time I've ever heard this song and I'm a classic rock lover! This is an amazing song and band!!!
The Sculman brothers (And John Wethers Gary Green and Kerry Minear too !) were fabulous musicians seriously underrated band - best of British
@@philk1853 Shulman
Google News feed led me here, and I am NOT disappointed. I cannot wait to explore more!
Just wait the love of old English bands will leave u with inspirational thoughts.
The Best banda ever!!!!!!!!!!
timeless, always great
The greatest most criminally underated band ever
You are absolutely right.
I consider myself very lucky to have this album still on vinyl. Truly an amazing band & I'm glad I found this album when I did, truly outstanding many times over.
One of the most underrated bands in the history of progressive rock! Brilliant! AWESOME! Big in Lieksa Finland for me in the -70ees!
My favourite song from this album
Ah ye, the phased drum solo. Been looking for this. Thanks.
When played live, they were all drumming as a battery, amazing guys ❤❤❤
I don't listen to GG every day, but when I do it can be for hours.
I actually do listen to GG almost every day, at least 1 tune and have been for many years now.
Probably my favorite Gentle Giant song.
O what a treat on a saturaday evening sitting up in a cabin in the mountain. What I've always really liked with GG was the vocal with many voices in combination with all the shifts in the music. Excellent!
Magnificent. They manage to fit a truly beautiful song into a 9 minute progressive / experimental epic !
I'm pretty damn music literate
....and it's like I'm 62 and I like stuff
That... I mean I wouldn't not listen to it because of the drum solo... It just sure ... Decent Tune, good beat, I think I could dance to it. I give it a 87...thanks Mr Clark
a hidden gem - now check this music out - its stuffed with great musivcal stuff
Quite possibly the best prog band of them all.
I think GG IS the GREATEST prog rock band of all time (thus far).
@@thomassicard3733 Definitely among the best!
My favorite band.
From Simon Dupree & The Big Sound evolving into simply one of the Greatest Prog Rock Bands Of All Time GENTLE GIANT !!!
To think Elton John almost joined them!
Gentle Giant: to know and to love!
The song deserves a good video.
This is a fantastic remix/remaster. I'm hearing stuff on here I don't quite get off the vinyl, despite having very high grade equipment.. superb mastering, and worth doing for these great recordings.
most underrated unkown band ever. great to meet gentle giant from patagonia, puerto madryn
I have great respect for these musicians who were able to offer something constructed, different, truly original, rich and sometimes virtuoso. I listened to them during the seventies and I still listen to them today. This is not the case for everything that was done at the time and especially later.
Obra maestra del rock progresivo,un clasico.
Magical harmonies. Lovely arrangement. And getting away with a phased drum solo like that is bold. Superb.
5:48 Love that Liszt reference
Some of the greatest progg rock bands
Pure genius.
This track is not too far removed, in some respects, from Crosby Stills & Nash... The harmonies are sublime... The 1970's was the greatest decade for music, in my opinion.
very very good............................................................................
This song is so beautiful
G.G. Magical voice, magical voices. Magical spirit power live.
My older brother used to listen it ..I was a teenager maybe 12 years old and I remeber I loved !! Great band !
Great! ❤
Great !
FANTASTIC BAND ❤
Excellent. The most eleaborated & sophisticated creative Band. Among Yes-without any doubt-the most exquisite Progressive Bands. Yes obviously is different, since is Symphonic Progressive Rock. RÄ.
and Zappa beats them all.
@@tixximmi1 zappa loved gentle giant
@@fredackley309 I don't know if he loved them but he did think they were on the leading edge of music. And when it came to Yes, he did bundle Bamboozled by Love with Owner of a Broken Heart.
@@tixximmi1 Zappa was and will always be MID. Perhaps, even less than so.

GG best of the best!!
Super!!
Ouvir com esses anúncios cortando a excelente música de Gentle Giant é um sacrilégio!
2:38 such a stoner rock vibes, amazingg
I love the haunting way that riff slowly quietly steps in!
Don't disrespect the music like that,take that poser ass comment to a pink floyd song. Can't stand "stoner" comments. People like you don't appreciate good music like prog or Bob Marley without linking it to fn weed,EVOLVE!
Those Drums...
So focking incridible!
Obra de qualidade ímpar, inigualável. Pena que o mundo mudou para pior, bem pior.
que pena, essa banda marcou a historia do rock
Eles deveriam voltar a tocar. Tem muita coisa ruim hoje em dia que nem da pra se ouvir .
Triste verdade!
Musica bem gravada e mixada pra época
Hj no Brasil é só o tal funk ou sertaNOJO. Triste país
Was fortunate enough to see them in the back rooms of the Castle near Tooting Broadway; remember that I was feeling that this was some band, later on that same week they released their first album. I was only 19 years of age then, they were and still are, very special.
And I finally treated myself to the vinyl record, incl. gatefold cover. Gorgeous! ;)
Beautiful Song
Times have ... english bands such as ...king crimsom... fash ...yes... elp to sertant extent .have made ...inspirational respect .
Immortal Rock - FourKingExcellent!
GREAT!!! Love!!!
Eu acho essa música espetacular, assim como muitas outras músicas desses caras! Grande, grande Gentle Giant!!
It feels like the drummer was half asleep and woke up just before the heavy part😂
The Soundtrack of my Life - until today 💖💖💖💖😥
Progressive rock sill hand dignity and class
Una Obra de Arte ,a la altura de las Artes
Huh huh. I was 12 year in Finland. My eyes open: I'm proge to Future. Today 66 old: in the Same Love Way!
Stairway to heaven.
This legen.....wait dary legendary
Gentle giant tudo bom vocal e instrumental
I just love
Klaatu... A candidan band .
My dad introduced to this a long time ago and its still wild as fuck
Devine!!!!
This song reminds me "Stairway to Heaven"
Yes. But think this predates stairway to heaven.
Je perds la tête depuis un certain temps mais cette musique, parmi tant d'autres, m'aide à flotter, à garder la tête hors de l'eau. Cette musique se déplie comme un livre d'images plein d'étoiles, où viennent filer les oiseaux, tourner les farandoles, claquer les crécelles et danser les sorciers¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Banda sem igual!
Welp......MY MINDS BEEN BLOWN
🍀Cheers 🍻🍺 I'll Drink2That🍀
✌️❤️N'Rock&Roll,,,ReallyDigsMySoul😎
I wonder if this song inspired Led Zeppelin to write Stairways to Heaven. There are some similarities there and it was released a year earlier.
❤️
🔝🔝🔝🔝
😍😍😍😍
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Estou aqui por conta do Lesado.
Tenho 8 cds repertoire remaster oque mais ouso octopus three friends e in a glass house acguing the taste grande banda prog rock pra min nelhor do mundo numero 1
Depends on what ya like. I remember Gentle Giant.
A ida ao que era
O caminho que vem
A estrada que é
Feita a pé
Feita a apanhar
Pedras e deitar
Novamente
Mas mais à frente.
Passa um carro
De repente
Para te acordar
Para o presente,
Diluir-se na mente
Tomar-se
De repente
Como um comprimido.
Um presente comprido
Numa passagem comprida
Numa estrada tremida
Em direção à vida
RIP Ray Shulman

Excelente ! Con este tema Led Zeppelin se inspiró para hacer Stairway to Heaven !!!
No sé supone que fue la cancion de Taurus-spirit? 🤔
@@romanlunarivera1088 Ambas !!!
I’m hearing some jethro tull in this song.
2:26
I often hear similarities between GG and JT. I think if you look at when the music was recorded it seems that Gentle Giant was having at least as much influence on Tull, if not more, than the other way around. This was recorded before Aqualung was released. The main influence I hear in this tune is Genesis.
@@flyingh0gfish Nothing from Genesis. This tune was recorded before Trespass. Jethro Tull : This Was, Stand Up and Benefit, three albums recorded before Trespass.
The best after The Beatles
Pardon mon teclat pretre a finir touche t sort y merci
Bonne chance
Got like an American Jethro Tull shaking hands with Robin Tower vibe going on ....this song, ya until the drum solo, it kinda went south west ...a little for me.
Kinda like The Zappa albums I dont.,. never ever heard of these
guys not bad... Pulled it back at the end..
5:47
Shades of Chopin coming through... yeah... then some change of attitude...
Hi. I want to make a lyric video of Nothing At All by Gentle Giant. and I'm interested of this animation at the background. How can I find this without text ?
Utube put a Reese's ad in the middle of the song. So, the insanity is beyond psychosis now. Time to clean our weapons.
Beach Boys influence here
Why are Ashkenazi Jews (The Shulman Brothers) always so talented?
I like this song, especially the lyrics. But I always skip the 4 minute Drum Solo!
But why? You are skipping part of this most awesome composition and recording. That doesn't make sense to me.
@@thomassicard3733I can see why others like it, but for me it feels very out of place with the rest of the song and rather random, along with the piano. Gentle giant is known for being intricate and sophisticated, and to me it does feel rather random in the way it goes from a ballad to drumming and a dueling piano for about a quarter of the song. However I still see the appeal. It’s unique and something else that a lot of artists do not do. Additionally, this is their first album…. They hadn’t found a lot of footing yet.
It doesn’t stop the song from being in my top 3 of the album either, but to each their own.
