    Here’s a further explanation of what it means in addition to what you read Jay. That was a great explanation of what SD’s music is. High class, no expenses spared and it always leaves you wanting more. 🔥
    Bodhisattva is a human who has reached enlightenment, as the Buddha did, and can leave physical existence behind, but chooses to remain in human form to help others achieve freedom

    • @missbelled6700
      @missbelled6700 3 года назад +5

      Simple as the lyrics are, I've always thought it was a bit of a love song that they jazzed up to make up for not saying much; just a guy who has maybe had a moment of enlightenment, telling his girl how he's going to give it all up (sell my house in town) and be with her to make her happy (let me be the sparkle in your china, etc.).
      Maybe overly optimistic on my part, and with it being SD I've never known how much I'd trust the guy to be telling the truth anyway, but hey there's my $0.02

    Man, that assessment you made about them put it all into words. They are the epitome of sophisticated. When I was in 8th grade, I got the 45 of “Ricky Don’t Lose That Number”. I played it on my cheap turntable till the needle went bad and messed up the record. The rest for me is history. They’re just so damned great.

    This entire album is amazing, one of the soundtracks of my HS days - we always wondered about the picture on the back of the album of the band members in a studio, which had a mysterious hand/arm reaching out to the mixing board.

  • @jamesjwalsh
    @jamesjwalsh 6 дней назад

    If I recall, the song was a spoof of the Eastern meditation craze that was all the rage back then. Much like The Beatles did years earlier when they soured on yogi/guru Maharishi and his B.S.

  • @kendudley3553

    Jay, for some reason, I decided to listen to each of your Steely Dan reactions tonight. I am really happy i did. Your analogy to the fine restaurant is right on. Ambience, food, wait staff, all performing well. But, it's an expensive place. For a listener to Steely Dan, the high price is your TIME. You have to take time to listen to what Steely Dan is saying. And Bro....you paid the price and got the reward.
    I got my reward by watching your Steely Dan vids tonight. Thank you,
    Ken

  • @mickeyhank
    @mickeyhank 3 года назад +4

    Love that analogy, J, that’s good (The fine dining restaurant that is worth it). Good pick-up on the 50s similarity and thanks for that research on Bodhisattva. I knew he was something like that but you gave me more specifics. Totally agree about them, the amount of quality tunes they have is just ultra elite.

    @xavvi 3 года назад +10

    Steely Dan had a multi-album run obsessing over the idea of a high class losers or 70s lounging failures, you hear it very plainly on Deacon Blues. But on this one in particular it's their classic American loser/loafer basically trying to get easy enlightenment - we all kind of know those people that jump from philosophy to philosophy, one day they're big into the healing power of crystals, the next day they're into CrossFit, they're looking for something to give them meaning and purpose without trying to earn it at all. I believe Fagen described it as a quick fix.
    That's why he's asking for Bodhisattva too show him the shine of his Japan and sparkle of his China - he just wants that far east hippie meditation given to him without effort.

    This song is a great example of one thing I really appreciate about SD, they use a lot of different instruments in a way that isn't overwhelming and allows you to not only appreciate each instrument but understand how they contribute to the whole song. It's like a music appreciation lesson in every song.

    • @MichaelTrogdon1990
      @MichaelTrogdon1990 3 года назад

      They also use less reverb which makes it easier to hear every instrument more clearly. It’s what gives Steely Dan music that clean sound.

    Love your reactions, Jay. 20 years after Gaucho (the title cut being their swan song and sadly the most misinterpreted song they ever did) Fagen and Becker reunited and swept the Grammys with the album Two Against Nature. Though Cousin Dupree won for best song, the title cut is my favorite, rife with percusions and multiple tempos and lyrics that are are downright evil. After hearing it you'll have to calm down with the absolute smoothness of Jack of Speed, another gem. The album is way ignored. You'll be diving into the deep end of the pool. Promise.

    Bodhisattva (BO-HES-TAV-AH) means to bow or hold in deep respect, much like KAUTAU (cow-ta-ow). Example: People who are Muslim pray 3x's daily, facing towards Mecca, and KAUTAUING in deep respect on thier knees. Spirtully it is really beautiful. Loved your review.

    You just gave the most intuitive reaction I’ve seen in the new phenomenon of reaction videos. Obviously, you’re a smart guy with a good ear. If I could make a suggestion, check Mercenary Territory from Little Feat’s live LP, Waiting For Columbus. Listen for Lenny Pickett’s (Tower Of Power, musical director for SNL) sax solo. Incendiary fire. The song percolates, the bass leads into the sax. Exquisite live music. Check you out.
