Played this at my husband’s funeral, he loved ccr
May he Rest In Peace ma'am
❤
😔
That’s beautiful, I’ve told my kids this is my funeral song too. 🤍
From Wikipedia: (John) Fogerty expressed surprise at having come up with a candle as a metaphor for a beacon guiding the singer home. He stated that the song is "about the loner in me. Wanting to feel understood, needing those at home to shine a light so that I can make my way back."
That's called soul, Brad. Blue eyed soul.
Man, how great is Fogerty’s voice! One of the greatest voices ever!
FINALLY!!! One of my two favorite CCR songs (although almost all are great). Now you gotta react to the other, especially since you guys are expecting......PLEASE check out "Someday Never Comes".
John Fogarty played both the electric piano and sax on this song. Beautiful.
My brother passed away a week ago and his funeral is this coming Friday, he introduced me to CCR and this was his favorite song of theirs and yes it is the most fitting song to play at the church service in his honor. RIP my brother you will never be forgotten.
People would sometimes put candles In windows to shine a light for someone who has been missing like a child ran away or someone missing in war. The old saying keep the light burning until I return.
Yes....how great it is you guys added this amazing song to your already huge CCR list!!
time for "Lodi" 👍
John's singing his socks off in this song. What a voice!
Great freaking song in any era !!
One of my favorite songs of all time.
I think I have requested this song every time you play a CCR song. Thank you, it's been my favorite for years.
CCR never disappoint, beautiful song.
It’s blues you two. Always loved this one. I’m so blessed to have lived through Grenada and Desert Storm. I used to sing this song in my head. I’m 62 and still love this. Blues can make you feel like you do.🏝🤪🐊🕊🌞🇺🇸🤠😳 Your friend in Orlando
That's John Fogarty on the sax. He played the riff track and laid it down on over the rest of the tracks. Total genius who didn't understand just how good he was
🤘 🤘 One of America's greatest songwriters.
"Someday Never Comes" is an excellent ballad you should check out. Love your videos and your "visual" analysis' Lex!
ONE (and I cannot stress this enough) HUNDRED PERCENT.
"A musical Preacher"...I don't think I've ever heard a more perfect description of Fogerty. This is one of my favorite CCR songs. It captures the love of Home that, as long as the people who love you are there, always brings comfort and a safe harbor from the trials of life. We should all strive to be that Light. ~ Lesa on my husband's account.
Saludos Lex, sientes la música de CCR al igual que yo
Country, Blues and Gospel amazing combination I think, nice job y'all
One of CCR'S most beautiful songs.
It was somewhat seen as a message to those in Vietnam, put a candle in the window and I'll be coming home soon. I can see the light was a metaphor for hope, they longed to see their loved ones. John just jazzed it up with some Blues....my Fav. CCR song tbh.
Thank you
I definitely think you nailed it, being a child in the Vietnam era it hit me that way. But they were comin' home, a lot of them, in coffins. Like my 2 doors down neighbor friend's older brother, when I was 12. Fogerty was an army veteran, it just connects that way, he sang it with total focus and conviction, probably his best vocal.
Gorgeous song. Fogerty could sing his ass off in his youth.
Still does!
John Fogerty has no soul, left! He left his soul in the recording studio when he wrote, arranged, produced and sang this amazing, song🇨🇦
Always loved CCR. I want this one played at my funeral because it gave me so much joy in the living years.
John's voice in this is just insane!
Finally! Their greatest song and I've been trying to get someone to react to it for months. Good reaction guys.
I never knew the words to this until now, except for 'long as I can see the light'. I used to think the first line was 'Lord I can't look in the window'. I love the way John Fogerty sings this - the sound of his voice.
loved CCR since I was a kid in the sixties. I think what you are trying to describe with his voice is called...SOUL.... a great singer and guitarist and a great band.
One of my favorite CCR songs. Very soulful.
I used to travel for business. That feeling when I’m a few miles from home is incredible. And when I turn the corner and see the lights on, is the best feeling ever.
Been waiting for you to get to this one. CCR at their best on this. So much soul. Beautiful song.
Church-adjacent ... what a perfect word for it. And yeah you're right Lex, that feeling of kneeling in some sort of worship service is a lot different than the sitting version. What I love about this song and it comes up a lot with these guys, is it this song can apply to so many different things and it feels spiritual and it could be totally interpreted that way but it also is easily secular, as in as long as the lonely traveler knows there is the light of love always waiting at home, whether it's family or friends or whatever, it helps him be confident. It was literally written about how lonely it can get being a singer on the road for really long stretches of time, but it is so well written that it can apply to almost anything. It could be a spiritual journey, it could be someone going off to the Vietnam War where the mortality rate was quite High, it could be somebody that's just really pushing the boundaries out there but is hopeful that there is someone at home to still accept him if he cracked crashes out and bombs it all
My memory of this song is that it was related to Vietnam vets returning home. Could have other meanings. But "home" is the basic one.
top tier CCR here! ♥
One of the few Timeless bands. Seems they have been with me my whole life. I'm 58 now , so yea , pretty much. Love 'em.
Possibly my favorite CCR tune.
Another Creedence song that too many folks sleep on, is "Wrote A Song For Everyone". It's criminally underrated.
Probably my favourite CCR song. You can really feel the weariness of the long hours spent out there on the road as JF sings this soulfelt bluesy number.
Keep the homefires burning.
Brad & Lex, you’ll love their “Who’ll Stop The Rain” and “Hitch Hiker”!!
and "Lodi" 👍
@@Reclining_Spuds they reacted to "Lodi" Jul 5, 2022.
They've done who'll stop the rain, but definitely ""HITCHHIKER!!"" A definite must, O'yeah... 😎😎
+1 Sweet Hitchhiker
Seen the man two times, still got to plus this one up
@@rhondamcbath6279 I've never seen who'll stop the rain posted.. they did Have You ever seen the rain .. not the latter, my favorite CCR song I've suggested a million times
I LOVE this tune❤️ Was cool to see you 2 experience it love your videos you 2 are awesome wish we were neighbors✌️❤️
A couple more by CCR that have not been reacted are "Feelin Blue" " Molina" and " It came out of the Sky
I never took it that it was sad I took it as a hopeful song as thiere is candle in the window for him to see the light to come home. Its a message of hope of seeing the light and being with family , coming home to family, yes I think could be taken as seeing Jesus as the light , like that thought too, but to me I have always thought of it as a soulful happy song,
Spot on reaction and that's why your channel is a pleasure to follow. Rock on Brad & Lex
In some cultures (even within the US), there is a story about leaving a light on in a window to let the wayfarer know that he is welcome home. Lights in windows are a thing in some US cultures... remember "One if by land, two if by sea"? It's a way to convey a message, and a light in the window tells the traveler that he is welcome to come home.
I believe that is John Fogerty playing both piano and sax in this song.
He's actually playing all the instruments on this one.
@@DavidB-2268 I didn't know that. I figured the other CCR members played their usual instruments.
This is one of my favorites by them. Great song.
This tune reminds Me of Tony Orlando and Dawn's :Tie a Yellow Ribbon: And also of Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show
by Neil Diamond, Both Great Songs in their own Right
We used to listen to this song when we were deployed. To us it meant If our loved ones would put a candle in the window, if in our mind as long as we could see it it was going to guide us home... if you could no longer see the light in your mind, you had been out in the boonies too long and well that’s something you don’t talk about in polite company
Thank you for your service sir!
Love CCR!!! Wish I could have seen them tour🎶
Still going thru my playlists! Lmao 🤣😂 I love it, it actually reminds me of how old I really am and that isn't so much a bad thing these days when I look at what all I've survived and been thru. Long as you can see the light, I'll not go in to the darkness. 🌞
This is not about dying, he has that "travelling bone," is not about dying. He is restless, whether grieving makes being at home difficult, having no work is a problem, or we wants to know what is out there in the wider world, or travel to expand his knowledge or he has to perform for a wider audience. He has reasons that make a lot of sense to him, to be gone at times, but he wants to take comfort in having a way to come home sooner or later, and having those that stayed, be welcoming. Traditionally a light in the window is put there daily at nightfall, to guide a traveller home, or someone lost from home, e.g. by a parent who refuses to move, until a lost child makes it home, even if it takes years. Staying connected in those days, was a great deal more difficult than today.
Have you ever heard the radio commercial for Motel 6? " I'm Tom Bodette, and we'll leave the light on for ya". Somebody was always waiting up, or expecting you home.
The images y'all paint describing the songs are so vivid and alive. Great song; great reaction, as always.
so many good songs, my favorites: Ramble Tamble, Up Around the Bend, Bad Moon Rising, Long as I Can See the Light, Proud Mary, Who'll Stop the Rain, Down on the Corner, Looking Out My Backdoor, very hard to choose just one favorite
i was born in a small town in northeast India closer to myanmar than to new delhi. i did most of my schooling and education in the cities in India but my soul was ever in that little town where i was born and raised, a mountain top town much like a laos/cambodian town. and every time i hear or play this song i m moving closer home. i ll b relocated soon cuz i just retired. thank you ccr for being there with this classic.
This song is high up on the list of CCR's best work. I believe that's John Fogerty playing the Fender Rhodes electric piano as well as the saxophone, not just laying down the incredible vocals.
This is a small detail but I believe he used a Wurlitzer for this track, which is commonly confused with a Rhodes.
That is the soul you are feeling in the song.
Brad if you wanna feel like you are in church with CCR checkout "Midnight Special"
If u feel a church and togetherness feeling then he did his job. God bless you all. Never forget sacrifice love of the Lord and treat people with love and understanding.
"Put a candle in your window whoo whoo whoo whoo". Still raises the hairs on the back of my neck.
I have always been a huge CCR fan. My dad was in a cover band in the 70s. This is my all time fave
Love love his voice I could listen to it forever.
I've been requesting this one forever. Nice!
its fun to watch you all like credence because they are the most amazing underrated rock band.
Absolutely my favorite by car if not 1 of my all time favs
Making you think of home and the one miss and love, beauty touch to life.
This song gives me the vibe of when the party is drawing to a close, like it's the last song of the night.
Exactly how I feel bout this song. Like listening to a choir in some little small town blach churcg in the deep south. Soulful.
Gotta react to "Hey Tonight, and "Someday Never Comes", by CCR.😀❤
Love this band, I'm glad you guys visit them as much as you do. I am looking for Someday Never Comes too.
I'm not sure if it's about dying, but it's definitely about people leaving. This song among many others got me thru one of the toughest losses I ever had in my young life. And when that happens in many cultures or religions, you'd light a candle or vigil and put it in the window. I would light a candle to light their way or for them to find their way back. Or maybe it was wishing for them to come back. Either way, the warm light was a way to keep their memory alive and to keep my world from going dark and cold. After someone dies, the dark nights remind you of what is now missing in your life. That's tough to sleep thru.
I love this song "I guess I got that ol travelling bone" There are some people that just have to get away, to anywhere else for a while (Me), not because of anybody at home, just to get away. Put a candle in the window, I'll be back soon, as long as I can see the light.
I have many favorite CCR songs but this one is top of my list. Its amazing
Highly requested song for people to use for their funeral.. Will definitely be foe mine 🙏🏼
This might be Lex's first WOOOOO!
Very beautiful song... When my mom passed in 1996.
I made this song her anthem
Wrote A Song For Everyone …is another CCR banger similar to this because no one ever reacts to it and it’s incredible blues.
One of my favorites
The very first line is "put a candle in the window", then the song is about him leaving, but he'll be back, as long as he can see the light, meaning the light of the candle in the window. As long as he can see the light, he'll always find his way back home.
That sax solo is one of my favorites ever. This one and the one in Still Crazy After All These Years by Paul Simon.
Wow, Brad keyed into the groove & vibe quickly on this one. Good job!
I travel a lot for work. This song means a lot to my family.
You are beautiful people - I love watching you discover the songs I love - love and peace to you thank you
This has to be my favorite CCR song. Right next to "I Put a Spell On You".
One of my favorite CCR songs.
Kind of has the group Little Feat feel to it with its start. CCR is unmatched imho.
Yes! My favorite CCR song
Vietnam War was going on in our generation at this time.
John Fogerty biographer Thomas M. Kitts describes the song as depicting a "world-weary figure," perhaps Jeremiah, who "undertakes an uncertain journey." The singer is confident as long as he "can see the light." Kitts points out that the word light has two meanings in the song, a spiritual meaning, such as in "The Lord is my light" from Psalm 27, and "the secular light of love." Kitts describes the music as having a "hymnal, church-like feel."

I credit this song to brining the Saxophone back to main stream rocknroll . In the late Sixties it did disappear for awhile .
fukn Classic glad I mentioned it
Every musician, every artist, every poet, and most real writers, feel this sentiment in their soul; just beautiful. Take the time to understand the true sentiment and plead for understanding.
Per Wikipedia "Long As I Can See the Light" is a song by American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival, from the album Cosmo's Factory. Released as the b-side of the single "Lookin' Out My Back Door" in 1970, it reached number 57 on the Cash Box singles chart in the US.
While never played live by CCR, it became a concert staple for singer John Fogerty as a solo artist.

One of my mom’s favorite songs :). Such a perfect album. Not a single weak track.
We would always stop by the church. I've had to carry my share of the family. I wouldn't mind them playing this song at mine.
This is my favorite "Last Call" song; time to go home, everybody.
Great choice.. lovelovelove ❤️🌸✌🏻
My favorite CCR song!!
You have to remember when this was recorded the Vietnam war was still going on. It always struck me as the metal coffin coming home to send him on his way to see gods light which never goes out. With the southern rock style it’s hard to believe this band was from California. Modern music has rarely been able to express this kind of feelings.
Oh yeah, I also meant to say, I mentioned this a few times a long time ago and I'm so glad you finally got around to doing it. I'm sure a lot of other people have mentioned it. The one that I used to listen to back to back with this one all the time which I bet you guys would love and it would also make a great reaction, is another slow powerful song by then but it's a bit more on the rhythm and blues side with a slow amazing hard Groove to it that's really emotional. And it's simply called, Feeling Blue.
Fun factoid: long as I can see the light was actually released as the B-side of the single that I believe you guys have already heard, Looking out through my back door.

John Fogerty is playing the saxophone...He has an album Blue Ridge Rangers of old country covers and gospel songs that's incredible..he plays every instrument on that album..You won't find a bad ccr/John Fogerty song
Hearts of Stone by the Blue Ridge Rangers rocks! Fogerty at his best!
