- LONELINESS
Loneliness cries deep from my soul,
Keeps trying to tell me about the world growing so cold.
Too many people trying to take from my Earth,
But we can't live without controlling our birth.
Deep inside a voice cries out for you,
It's not alone 'cause, people, I been cryin' too.
If we don't stop what we all see is wrong,
I guarantee you mankind won't live long.
CHORUS
There's a land, a glorius land,
It's right here on Earth.
Understand what you can from the land,
Your life is it's worth.
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh.
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh.
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh.
To face the problems that everyone's found,
We must replace what we took out of the ground.
Pray for your brother, let your soul find a way,
Help one another, oh, please listen to what I say.
CHORUS
Loneliness ...
Oh ..., I can't get away from loneliness ...
Yeah, loneliness ... oooo ...
Loneliness ...
Yeah, loneli- ... loneli- ... lo- ... neliness ...
I just can't get away from loneli- ...loneliness ...
Yeah, ... yeah ...
Loneliness ...
Can't get away from loneliness ...
Can't get away from loneliness ...
Can't get away from loneliness ...
Can't get away from loneliness ...
Can't get away from loneliness ...
Can't get away from loneliness ...
Can't get away from loneliness ...
Can't get away from loneliness ...
Can't get away from loneliness ...
This song should make a comeback NOW! Given the situation our society is in!
Deb. I was thinking the same thing about their song “ I Want Freedom” from their survival album. Because like you said, the situation we’re in now. Seems like our freedoms in America are under attack.
Very under rated and well done song that touches my soul. Thumb up.
One of the best how bout the best
This song is a masterpiece of the highest magnitude.
Beautiful
For Sure 💯✔
YOU ARE NOT WRONG ANA. THIS SONG .. BEST OF ALL.
Completely agree.
I have listened to this song 3 times and I know why I love this band so much back in 1979 I remember having a party at one place or another Called Grand Funk survival night this went on from 1978 to maybe 1980 all we did was party and play all Grandfunk Allbums and we all had plenty to play
That is exactly rite bro, I made 21 gram bags of good columbian, sold em for 25 dollars. We used to call them the econo lid. This tune is grea,t brings back a shitload of things I haven't thought of in decades. Peace brothers......
Un tema de esos que te marcan toda una vida.
Wow I forgot to be young again :(
Now I remember and enjoying this all over again :) Thank you !
Fantastic song, I remember it really well, I was about 16-17 years old, I am now 51.
tengo 57 que grandes recuerdos, aun conservo el disco pluribus funk del año 1972 gloriosos, miticos que grandes
Listen to those transitions between movements! The mark of a true composer!! Had Mark Farner been born a few hundred years ago he would've been right up there with the other famous composers who actually knew a thing or two about music.
Ah, sweet memories of the early 70's
simplemente hermosa....Saludos desde Quito
just look at this piece of hunk. baby your in my dreams mark . i wish i was with u then whooooo baby ilove you.

Pray for your brother let your soul find a way. Help one another oh please listen to what I (God) say(s)
Man, this dude could sing. Not just barking out rock lyrics, but a true quality voice. Mark, Don, and Mel were excellent! Even on those early, simplistic albums, it sounded like there were 11 guys in the band belting out those heavy blasting rock tunes. Truly phenomenal!
The Beatles came out on The Ed Sullivan Show (not that many people were coming out in those days lol), then The Rolling Stones .. but when this band released their first album, they became my first, and most favorite band EVER!.. and still are to this day. First there were three, and then became four (Craig Frost on keyboards). Don Brewer, and Mel Schacher Shanghai'd Mark, and tried to keep Mark from singing, performing any of Grand Funk Railroad's songs .. but Mark eventually won out. Mark Farner wrote 90% of their songs. Mark Farner shared his journey with us, brought us happiness, and Mark Farner was Grand Funk Railroad.
they broke up because of disco.....they didnt want no part of that....im 69 years old and this song been my favorite all through life...
el 2018 vi en Chile Cantar en vivo a Mark Farner. Es extraordinario como conserva su voz y agilidad en el escenario. Un sueño cumplido 👏 👏
My first favorite band. I was 14. I'm 61 now. This song is such a memory. Sweet band a little sad to know the years slip by so quickly...Tom Struska
60 yup
Yeah, it's sad that Mark's two band friends betrayed him.
Hey! My first favorite band! In 4th grade I bought E Pluribus Funk with Christmas money because I liked the album cover.Once I listened to it I thought" Forget all about Elvis and Beach Boys."I was hooked.They are still one of my faves.I still listen to them often.What a great band.There will never be anything like them ever again.
If you haven't already , check them out on Playboy After Dark . Mr. Limousine Driver !!!
I'm there with ya!
One of the best bands ever to infuse rock with orchestration and a band well before their time!
MARK FARNER IS A GENIUS, he wrote most of what he recorded,he and grand funk have been screwed royally by the hall of shame,the fact that he wrote this song ,sing it,and played rhythm,lead guitar is amazing feat,he must be acknowledged for his lifes work,along with the only band to ever sell out all stadiums,auditoriums,standing aisle only,seating,there is no justice
...& since then, Don & Mel have screwed Mark over. So sad...
Bravo, The Original GFR!
You are so right! Sickening.
I love g.f
Railroad. How's it memories!!♧
They took Mark and GFRR from us...
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, is a joke.
When you are surrounded by people.but you still feel lonely..that's true Loneliness.
One of the best and most underrated Rock ballads of all time!!!
Ballad ????
I still say GFR was one of the absolute BEST rock bands in America!
I agree!
ditto!
It's FIRST in MY LIST. No one can ever top THAT
@@anthonydestefano1354 yep. Thank the GODS we have this
La mejor de US y de las mejores del mundo😎🤘🏾
Just when I was feeling like hating my brother, I listened to this and it convicted me to stop even thinking about hating my brother, 'cause it does in fact cause LONELINESS. So thanks Mark. I remember your concert at Cleveland Public Hall 1970. Grand Funk under Led Zepplin, and in my opinion, Grand Funk blew Zepplin away.
agree
this song still gives me chills .....the orchestration is un believable ....genius .....
Check out the live Bosnia Cd with GFR!!!
I ordered this album back in the day of 12 record's for a penny, now I'm 65 and hear music that sounds like the world 🌎 today, so the world must of always been this way, love and peace ✌️ Akron Ohio
I love you 💕 dear friend 😊 hugs from Mexico City...
Grand Funk Railroad should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!!!
GRAND FUNK RAILROAD. IS IN MY TOP FIVE. GREATEST BANDS. LOVE. THESE GUYS. 🙏👏😊
Me too
Just about the most beautifully intense rock song ever done. GFR as real today as 1970.
This whole album is great...A true masterpiece.
I still have the Black and Red Lettered "Mark, Don and Mel" Greatest Hits Album. I paid 1 cent through Colombia House Records! I played it over and over and over... This was my Band for All Time!
I have it too :)
Yes..Loneliness speaks dèep within my soul...My children have flown the nest.Empty nest syndrome here...A Old Fossiling Sr.Citizen here.
But you gave all the love you had and more ❤
Hugs from Mexico City..
We had the best music and still is in our souls..😢
OMG WHAT A VOICE!
Timeless , will still be people commenting in 20 years time.
Collin McComiskie has already been more than 20 years
40 years later I listen to this tune, and realize I was right. This is the very definition of talent.There simply is not a sufficient calling to compare this to today's noise. I remain genuinely disturbed at how such a talent could've been taken advantage of by such shallow management to the detriment of Mr.Farner. God speed Mark's message to the rest of this meaningless war for profit sphere called earth..
These guys are the ultimate rock band ! They are definition of rock and roll ! 🎶🎸🎸🎸
💯% agreed
Grand Funk is a Proof that the Sound of this Era was simply incredible.
Again, why NOT in the Hall of Fame?!?
Yes!!! ♥
That's FUCKING unfair !!
Jann Wenner probably doesn't like them.
I think it is better that they are not in there. From every thing I have heard it is a lot of bull shit and if that is indeed the case then it is better not to push for them to go. After all real Rock and Roll in the dazes of Grand Funk Railroad was a battle against the establishment. I do not begrudge the good bands that are in the hall, but I do not push for anyone to be put there either. just my opinion.
Porque poseer tal o cual premio no lo hace peor o mejor grupo. Simple. No pasa nada si no están, ¿se entiende?
I still get chills everytime I hear this.
I'm from Flint Mi, grew up listening to GFR, this is their best song by far, live with the Siberian Orchestra was unbelievable.
....trilha sonora de nossas vidas .....70 anos de ouro para a criatividade genialidade e talento...... viva o rock roll...
I still have all their albums in fact just put a new needle on my record player, Grand Funk Railroad did not get the reconition they should have received....I am still so glad I grew up in the late 60's and 70's the were the best years that I have ever seen.....and the music was real....
they didn't get recognition ? they certainly did who had more than GFR in that period-biggest arena rock band in history
"E PLURIBUS FUNK" 1971 - 2019!!!!!!!!!
MARK FARNER GREAT VOCAL!!!!
A masterpiece! I only wish it was longer than 8 minutes.
This song touches the soul. It's true, meaningfull and a real work of art.
One of the all time greatest songs ever.
Grand Funk Railroad FOREVER!!!!!!!!!
This is not a trend... this is for ever and ever permanent!
Truly, this was one of thier finest songs that showed that they could really WRITE songs as well as they played them. I especially like 'E-pluribus funk' and 'Phoenix' for this purpose. I especially like the lead guitar work that runs over the "Can't get away from lonliness' refrain...powerful music and thoughtful words. Where has this kind of music gone????
Absolutely fantastic
My twin brother and our younger brother learned to play at a young age (14 & 10) and learned the whole live album. We never failed to get the crowds going when we would play GFR tunes. I am now 65 and just ache to play all these songs with my brothers once again, but unfortunately due to an accident I had when I was 14, I have lost the ability to play as I have aged. Thanks to the boys for giving me some of the best times of my life. GFR forever!!
Memories last a looking time ,bro. Enjoy them
@@micaelgoodman2881 Update: My brothers and I are going to do one more get together for a wedding dance. I'm working my ass off for this and have rediscovered the piano lessons I had when I was 12. Though I can't play for as long as I used to, it will be great playing with those boys again. I'll keep you posted on how it went.
Great old time rock and roll. It's too bad today's music isn't this good.
I forgot how beautiful this song was. I'm 61, and yes we had some great music back then. Then came the 80s and music peaked. Seems like it's gone down from there.
This song is so wonderful,at the time and again Grand Funk still one of the greatest American Band of all time,so great to live in these years,all theirs songs are fabulous.
I so love this song, sends chills through me every time I hear this, Mark you are where it's at, Live on Forever, God Bless,
Él mejor tema de Grand Funk ese guitarrero y el bajo espectacular
One of the Greatest Bands there is True Genius Musicians i love there music and the great message it shares ..it is even better today then ever Thank you Brothers !!!
Que gran disco, tengo 59 años y éste disco me lo compré cuando tenía 17 o 18 años ( por supuesto todavía lo tengo
yo también lo tengo
todo un tesoro
Ídem compañero, también tengo esa. Joyita
I'm 56 also. Boy ~ We had some GREAT music back then - didn't we??
what a voice. great song, very prophetic about what we've done to the earth since the song was written, and how it is going to end up destroying us...
Thanks for your comment - song brings back great memories. Young folks today will not experience such soulful music.
gfr is truly one of the best bands this country has ever produced. their music has no boundaries or limits and speaks and touches the souls of whoever that will take the time to listen to what they are saying. if there were more banbs such as this to listen to I'm sure the world would be a better place to live just for the experience alone. thank you very much mark, don,Mel and all the other musicians who contributed to helping them get their unique style if music to the people. They are truly America's band and always will be as long as there are ears to listen.Rock on dudesn I'm sure every time God listens to you sing and play he is smiling.
I first sincerely pray to come to really hope to share with all you brothers and sisters about truly asking our Most Merciful Loving, Forgiving and Healing Father in prayer for every and all reason that our Loving God our Father, I'm sure would want all of the ones who believe in that Way, Truth and Life that He had His Beloved Son Jesus, The Good Shepherd and our truly real only Teacher, to fully understand on the way to love all what His Father and the Creator of everything perfectly beautiful too, well ones who would now choose to go deeper inside your hearts, and insincere prayer, to realize that our Loving Creator created only one other perfectly beautiful families on earth on land, in the air and all the sea creatures, and they have their natural purpose to live free, safe, unharmed and under the Merciful Wing of God. And so you see we all were deceived from every past teaching of even what every Christian and every other religious education institutions had been preaching about how to be truly blessed or obeying our Most Loving Creator Gods Commandments, and it's because they chose to ask and take the mined coins and the stamped paper currencies which keeps them serving that disobedient sinful corrupt world system. Now that many brothers and sisters have been enlightened and truly reveled of our Loving Fathers Miraculous Healing, to now acting on no more using that stolen money to be buying nor eating those beautiful families butchered products, including their eggs, milk or honey, but to pray daily to staying faithful and devoted to eating that what our Prince of Peace and Good Shepherd Jesus Christ eats, the healthy fruits, vegetables, grains, and nuts. Our Holy Father will then begin to quickly open up your hearts and eyes to truly enlighten your mind to show how you would want to learn the Real Truth to receive the Real Healing from our Holy Fathers' Merciful Forgiveness, and to ask in prayer when you find time to look upon the computer about the True data & stats of how many newborn deformities and diseases that never get brought to every brother and sisters full attention, and there's so much of what one who is now sincerely seeking and truly wanting to find out about whatever questions of the past histories of mankind's stubborn judgemental teachings that couldn't have received the Real Blessed True Way and True Wisdom of what Blessings our Merciful Holy Father has for all those who humbly and faithfully stay obeying our Divine Creator Gods Commandments. So we must believe we can receive the Greatest of our Holy Fathers Gift of the Holy Spirit to go forth and freely get out to share all that what Christ Jesus had taught us to do, and that He would be with us always. For this, we give our Praise to our Holy Father Amen.stay praying and when you feel His miraculous healing you will surely see more and more on how He will deliver you from every evil temptation and you will get stronger in the Truth and be Blessed to become that Peacemaker to want to go and share "freely" to all your friends and neighbors His Way, Truth, and Life, The Good News. And Praise our Most Divine Holy Father and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ⚡️ Amen.
Only a few of the great ones could combine rock with an orchestra and really pull it off like GFFR! 54 yrs here.
I'm 53 and this music still rocks. They are great live
the message of this song more than 40 years later still stands up ...have we learned anything ........absofuckinlutely not.....
I'm surprised,right wingers don't foam at the mouth when hearing this;since climate change is still news to them. great song...!!
+brainsareus the best 3piece
+brainsareus
Mark Farner probably grew up and became a right-winger himself over the years. People often get smarter as they get older.
Amen to that
@@porflepopnecker4376 Smartest think iv'e heard today. Trump 2020.
If you're looking for Reason & Wisdom to emerge from the R&R H.O.F., you are looking in the wrong place.
Still touching heart after decades; almost 4.
Love 4 ever GRAND FUNK RAILROAD!!!RESPECT!!
Aunque su fin era de una banda de mercadeo...a los productores les salió el tiro por la culata... hasta el día de hoy es y va a ser una de las mejores bandas de hard rock...de las mejores de todos los tiempos...tienen los mejores temas...como éste...😜
Hace tres años y por efectos del azar, tres humanos sumidos en la tristeza y que no esperaban más de la vida, cruzaron su camino y sus historias. Un año de terapia conjunta basada en Grand Funk y marihuana, hizo que uno de ellos, hoy sea un flamante papá, otro, el mayor, se terminó dedicando a lo que ama, pintar. El más loco de todos, se fue a conquistar tierras sureñas en Chile, y terminó siendo conquistado por ellas. Desde ahí, cuenta esta historia :)
ES UNA CANCIÓN QUE ME HACE RECORDAR MIS MEJORES TIEMPOS, AME A MIS PADRES CON PASIÓN, AME A UNA NOVIA, AME A MIS HERMANOS Y AMIGOS, AME LA VIDA, SIGO VIVO, Y NO ESTOY SOLO, AMO LA VIDA.
Just like greyshiloh, am too is 57 and still listen to all Grand Funk songs and I am a Malaysian
Big band big sound,god bless gran funk .
Thank God we have computers so that whenever we feel like looking up some of the really old classics like Grand Funk, we can, and listen to that great 60's and 70's sound again. This music will NEVER DIE... Just keep on tokin so that you can keep it in your mind, and it will NEVER DIE!! GRAND FUNK RULES!!
A great tune by the great Grand Funk Railroad! I had the "Mark, Don & Mel 1969-71" LP on cassette tape so long ago. I would play this particular song over & over until my cassette/stereo boombox literally ate the tape part of the cassette! I had to buy another cassette tape of this LP as a result. I think it's still in my dad's house somewhere in storage along with my other cassette tapes.
Bravo, Mark Farner, Don Brewer & Mel Schacher!
ChihuahuaboyDH I did the same! over & over & over
that makes three of us!!!! Love GFR!!!
Me too!
Mark Farner At His Best...................
Mark had an amazing voice!!! This song, for me, made me realize how good he was and is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent composer too
jack saller no doubt great vocalist underrated and under appreciated their record company screwed them something awful and the manager took all their money in a law suit could have been one of the all time great bands in rock and funk great live.
Great words/singing - would not be accepted in current ugly society in the US
So Beautiful, Love Them Since 1973! GFR Is The Greatest. Thank You. Bless You! ~.~
One of the greatest unknown songs of all time! 😊😊😊😊
I grew up listening to this,am 65.
I saw them live,late 60s early 70s dont remember stoned as fuck.
this is a realy masterfuckingpiece
FedererX
Saw them in. 69 or 70 can't remember exactly I do remember they were the best 3 piece band I've ever seen. It was in little rock Arkansas damn those were good old days when you could smoke in the auditorium !
Grand Funk Railroad es inigualable en su género, los recuerdo desde sus inicios, moriré escuchándolos.
great musicians,,😠😂
the late sixties and early 70's had such a influx of music that created todays music
I agree. I hear a ton of Metallica in this opening.
You have got that ass backwards.
Originally will always be played upon but, distorted somehow, from its intentions.
wtf? you cant even compare music nowadays with those days man. You cant see na evolution so….
my first concert, March of 1970, 9 days before my 13th birthday, general admission tickets, standing room only on the floor. 4 - 7th graders turn loose on the floor, while the one mom bought herself a nose bleed seat and told us where to meet when the house lights came on. We 4 learned a lot that night got stoned with all the pass-arounds, but we also knew we were seeing greatness at the same time. Cliff's mom took us to IHOP afterwards, she laughed at our being "lit". [she was a cool mom] She told the other 3 of us that we were sleeping at her house and she would bring us home Saturday morning.
The rest of 1970, she took us to see Deep Purple, Ten Years After, and Jefferson Airplane and the Dead on the same bill. Was a year to remember for sure. I became addicted to seeing live shows. By the time I graduated in 1975, I had 70 concerts, from 76 to 86 another 101. Then my 10 year old son became my concert going buddy. His first was Poison opening for DLR, to which we left 2 songs into David Lee Roth's show, he was making the rock high poison left us with... Between 1986 and present he and I have seen 191 concerts, 47 of those were duplicates of ones I'd seen in the 70's and early 80's. GFR, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, The Who, Eagles, Pink Floyd, The Grateful Dead, Aerosmith, Jimmy Buffet, Willie, Thin Lizzy, Steppin' Wolf [w/ John Kay], The Edgar Winter Group, BB King, Clapton C,S,N&Y, Caned Heat, Doobie Brothers, Bad Company, Mountain, KISS, ETC.
Thanks for this great video. GFRxR was a very unique band with a unique history. As Lmcdan said, Farner wrote 95% of their songs. Mark Farner was(is) a force as a front-man. His songs will live forever!
Mine too ! I´m 62 and love this song, grate lyrics !!!! great Mark Farmer !!!
So damn good!! Loved the original band line up. And Mark is still out there packing them in at his shows. The other guys are okay, but nothing beats what they once were.
CRIED WHEN I FIRST HEARD IT AS I HAD JUST BROKEN UP WITH MY FIRST GIRLFRIEND when i was 12 years old back in 1974.
We're the same age bro.
Keep on funking with GFR 🤘
wow! I never heard this one. awesome!
G.O.A.T. =GREATEST SINGER & ROCK MUSIC OF ALL TIME! FIRE!
Another time in my life.
+David Markham yes my friend had a nova car and a 8 track and reefer and said listen to this new band and i said Hell Yell !
My boyfriend had a 1969 Road Runner with and 8 track and introduced me to this music when I was 16. Still love it, to this day!
Una de las mejores canciones del rock. Fabulosa!!!
My favorite Grand Funk song. Brings back memories from my teen years. Damn. music was good back then.
Loneliness, Inside Looking Out, Mean Mistreater all by Grand Funk playing load from my 8-track on my 69 Firebird. Music from this era is etched on my soul.
Still great! From the summer of my years!
GFR was going to be on TV in the early 70’s. I was about 12. My big brother was going out for the night and said I should tape it with my new Panasonic cassette recorder. So I dangled the mic down by the TV speaker and got the whole thing. The sound was really poor obviously and my brother hardly listened to it but I listened to it like a hundred times. It was one of the reasons I wanted to learn the guitar and still play all these years later and also proud to be from Michigan like Mark Don and Mel
The best metal (or rock) of it's time. Recorded this on my old tape recorder at the age of 16. Still very impressive. Too bad there is no video footage available. Anyone??
Get the GFR Bosnia live complete with orchestra!! Excellent CD !!
My GF favorite song;I've listened to it for almost a thousand times.Just wonderful song and lyric!
la mejor banda del rocks de todos los tiempos, sencillo.
What a great voice!!!
Grandi!!!!!!!! Musicisti perfetti!!!! Bravissimo!!!!!!!
just be very glad we have these class recordings of this genius band,if left up to their thieving, conniving,underhanded bastard manager,money hungry, none of it is yours,only musicians get the gold and the fame
Definitivamente, se adelantaron a su época, grandes músicos, en especial el hermano Mark Farner, el líder de la banda americana!!
millerd55 I am also 56 years old and you are right music today is not like back in the 70's. God I miss those days.
i am from south africa love this band started listening to them when i was 14 am now 63 and i've got all their albums on cd and for the first time i can actually see some of their songs recorded live on the internet they are really excellent musicians
