This is my favorite song from CCR. They don’t have a bad one. I’m 60 years old. I remember sitting in our living room at 8 years old with my dad listening to CCR. My dad introduced me to such great music. CCR, Janis Joplin, Joe Cocker and so many more. Thanks for bringing back such great memories!!
John Fogerty is a national treasure. He taps into Americana like few other songwriters can. He did a very interesting series of remakes of his classic songs during the lockdown portion of the covid pandemic, played from his home either outdoors on his patio or inside in a studio, with his kids and grandkids as backing musicians.
So many great CCR songs. It is too bad they did not have a longer run together. Long as I Can See the Light is another great one by CCR, simple and soulful.
First heard C.C.R. as a sixteen year old in the summer of 1970. "Bad Moon" was a big big hit here in the U.K. and it was Fogerty's voice that drew me in and I've been listening to them ever since...sublime band 👍🇬🇧
I had two buddies during school time. One loved Alice Cooper, the other loved CCR, and I loved The Who music. Ones a week we had a music night,playing our vynils on turns. So I know all the golden oldies from Alice Cooper and CCR. This one allways got me , loved it. Thanks Guys, brings back memories. Cheers from the Netherlands. 😁👍👊
Wow! How did I miss this? I'm a CCR fan, my favorite record is Have You Ever Seen The Rain--or used to be. SNC is beautiful on every level. Thanks for once again teaching me about the music I love. All the best.
If you guys like the sort of change of pace in this song, try out "It's Just a Thought," from same late CCR period. A really good smooth and meaningful record.
Great song great band! I hope as fellow Northern Californians, you guys do "Lodi" next when you react to CCR as, unlike most reactors some of whom have covered the track, you guys know where Lodi is and you also know where El Cerrito, CA (CCR's hometown) is. The track "Lodi: also has an underlying message to it, just like "Someday Never Comes..."
I am gathering that his dad left him and his dad says someday you will understand but he never under stood why his dad left ..This song just tells me to be a great Father .. simple as that
Great reaction guys! I had forgotten this gem from Creedence. I heard this many times in my youth, so the song is embedded in my brain. But I have not heard it for so long. As soon as the song started, my brain said: "Yes! I've been waiting for this!" Thank you!
We learned it in the band I'm in and so I hear it fairly frequently but it's always a real delight! One of my favorite songs of theirs and I basically like every song they ever released.
CCR was such a unique band. Nobody else sounds like them, even if JF wasn't the lead singer their instrumentation is also very different. I'd love it if you would react to their cover of "Heard it Through the Grapevine". In one of your reactions you mentioned that their songs are too short. They have some great jams in "Heard it Through the Grapevine" and it isn't a short song. It will feel too shorr though.
“Ramble Tamble” is another one of CCR’s longer songs, albeit without vocals.. still a great jam! You’ve probably already noticed that Airplay Beats (La & Che) have recently reacted to Emerson, Lake, & Palmer (“ELP”) after an 8-month “hiatus”: as they will soon find out if they continue to explore ELP’s catalog, much of Their music is quite lengthy.. hence the reason(s) why much of it never “hit the airwaves” back in the 70’s when it was created, due to “radio format(s)” being more attuned (commercially 🙄) to “standard-length” 3:30-4:30 minutes long songs. If one wanted to “deep dive” ELP’s catalog they either had to buy Their vinyls, &/OR go to one of Their concerts. I managed to do both, but admittedly (to my superficiality? 🤔) I never fully “got it” with a lot of Their music.. however, I was a huge fan of Their standard-length radio-friendly stuff. Hopefully La &/or Che will drop in on our conversation.. I’d love to hear more CCR, & some more ELP too! 😀
This is one of my absolute favorite songs of theirs and it nearly makes my allergies act up every time, it's so powerful and it's such an incredible song musically. And those were not rim shots at the end like you guys were talking about, those are rim clicks, where you use the butt of the heel of your left hand holding the butt end of the drum stick as the fulcrum of a lever, and then you click somewhere in the upper end of the drumstick down on the metal rim to make a clicking sound of wood and metal together. A rimshot is where you pop it loudly near the very edge of the snare next to the rim where the drum skin is at its tightest, and get this incredibly piercing short gunshot kind of sound, and it's one of my favorite sounds with the drum kit.
Was back in the Greenroom when they played Winterland ( old Fillmore, San Francis in 1968) big party. Fun time. Friends of mine were first on stage for that concert.
I worked as a roadie and rigger for years for all sorts of bands. One old hand I worked with had been on the road since the late 60s and he told me that he never knew a band who hated each other as much as CCR.
I wouldn’t put much faith in an old roadies stories, most of them are just that “stories”, it’s a known fact that at the end they weren’t getting along but hate?, I don’t think so.
Gentlemen ... stellar work as always. You on a good path, finding gold nuggets along the way. The music really supported the message of this song, so Sixties in that way. Simple, straightforward, great vocal. Still waiting for Wild Horses (and/or anything else off of Sticky Fingers) ... Sway, I Got The Blues ... so many await you. Keep going.
From John Fogerty: "Every parent tells their child 'someday.' 'Gee, daddy, can we go fishing?' 'Yeah, someday.' My parents divorced when I was young and I ended up divorcing from my first wife. The song is basically me talking about how it happened to me when I was young and here I go doing the same damn thing. It's sad. I wanted to express what a kid feels, 'Someday Never Comes.' I wished we had played the music a little stronger, I wished I really would have gotten what I wanted."
What a great start to a cold and blustery day here in Michigan. Watching the 2 of you makes it so much enjoyable!! Thanks fellas it is greatly appreciated 👍
I caught this track much later after I thought I’d heard all the great CCR songs. I’m older now and this song is powerful. John Fogerty’s parents divorced when he was young. He wrote this song for his own children when HE was divorcing his own wife. You can hear all the mixed emotions in his vocals. He’s the victim and the perpetrator. Heavy vibes in this tune.
Tough love and a great deep cut! For another great deep cut, try Ramble Tamble off Cosmos Factory, one of the very best albums. CCR rocking in their own, unique and amazing way. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
Creedence does a "version" of one of the greatest Johnny Cash songs ever. It's called "Don't Look Now." The thing is, it's NOT a Johnny Cash song. It's actually a CCR original. Fogerty EMBODIES the essence of Johnny Cash in that song; lyrically and spiritually. I encourage any fan of CCR to check it out.
All dad's or mum's for that matter, who say, someday you will understand. Sorry no, you never get over your parent giving up on you or the family and walking out. All you can do, is be a better parent and hang in there, no matter how hard it gets. It does effect your kids when you leave and then don't look back. If you have to leave, please stay close to your kids, be in their lives for every important moment, be interested in them and let them feel your love. If you want to hear a heart breaker about the subject, suggest you listen to "Father of Mine" by Everclear.
CCR was big when I was playing in garage bands in high school. We loved the simplicity of the songs and covered them all. But the vocals presented a big problem. John's "Bayou Sound" was simply impossible to cover. And many tried. John is a great songwriter with a one-of-a-kind voice. Unique to this day. Thanks for exploring CCR.
I’ve always considered these guys the American Beatles. Prolific, melodic, cranking out great tune after great tune, with many classics that countless other musicians cover. Fogerty is great.
My favorite CCR tune is Green River..if I could actually pick a favorite. Midnight Special..Born on the Bayou..Run Through the Jungle..the list goes on and on...
This song always hits home hard, even more since my dad passed, it’s amazing the truest lessons in a “pop” song. John Fogerty is still underrated as a writer.
Now if you were to mention Paul Pena, JJ Cale or John Hiatt I could agree with you. John has probably been written about & interviewed more than any other artist dead or alive.
@@stevenslane3074 I’d have to respectfully disagree, as I could name a few who have got way more ink over the years. Bob Dylan comes to mind, one or 2 things have been written about him. Those Beatle kids? 😏
CCR, 1 of the greatest bands of all time. Wish you dudes would play my request. I can't say for sure, but these might be exceptional tunes never requested. Allman Brothers Live at the Beacon Theater, They would play many concerts in a row at this venue. " Instrumental Illness, " Rockin Horse, " " & a cover of Sam Cookes " A Change is Gonna Come. " The Derek Trucks Band Live at the Georgia Theater, pre Tedeschi. I have other music you might not get request for also.
Great song. Unfortunately, sort of the last hurrah. The band were on their last legs at this point. Tom Fogerty had quit. They weren't around that much longer. Lots of bad blood carried over. John Fogerty was sued by CCR for writing a song for a solo album that sounded too much like a song he wrote for CCR. The publishing rights were held by the CCR, not John Fogerty.
Your totally wrong, the record-company of CCR, Fantasy Records had all the rights of the songs & music. Somewhere around 1965 the four members signed with this label "a contract" When in 1967 a new CEO named Saul Zeants took over the company, the CCR boys decided to go full professionel and changed their name into CCR and the succes started. After a while the CCR members asked for a new contract (would be around late 1970) Saul Zeants didn't want to change at all, so that thing from 1965 was all they got. From that moment on it started the story of how (and why) you kill the chicken with the golden eggs.For John Fogerty is was even harder he was the creator of the songs & the music.
On wikipedia is a nice story about Vince Guaraldi, a jazz musician also under contract at Fantasy Records. Read that if you have time tells a lot about how this fucking company worked (like many in the music industry) oh and Vince was even a black artist
This is my favorite song from CCR. They don’t have a bad one. I’m 60 years old. I remember sitting in our living room at 8 years old with my dad listening to CCR. My dad introduced me to such great music. CCR, Janis Joplin, Joe Cocker and so many more. Thanks for bringing back such great memories!!

My favorite as well!

Such a great meaningful song. Not many reactors do this one. ♥
So many great CCR songs. It is too bad they did not have a longer run together. Long as I Can See the Light is another great one by CCR, simple and soulful.
Long as I Can See the Light, amazing song. I will stop doing whatever I'm doing and listen to thus song everytime it's on!!

Yes. Yes. Yes. Great song. But, as we know. CCR didn't have a bad one.
Your a good dad because to be real is the only way to go
I am gathering that his dad left him and his dad says someday you will understand but he never under stood why his dad left ..This song just tells me to be a great Father .. simple as that
From their 7th (and last) studio LP Mardi Gras. The other hit from that album was Sweet Hitchhiker. Drummer is Doug Clifford.
Legends here.
I didn't have a father growing up and this was a hard life lesson I had to learn on my own... Some day never comes. 😎
One of my all time favorites. Thanks.
Brilliant!!!! Run Through the Jungle, please.
When musicians do this you guys know your minds are open. So much better than the rest. I'm gisd for the exposure but yall love music.
Great reaction guys! I had forgotten this gem from Creedence. I heard this many times in my youth, so the song is embedded in my brain. But I have not heard it for so long. As soon as the song started, my brain said: "Yes! I've been waiting for this!" Thank you!
Same with me. I haven't heard this song in a long, long time. It's a gem
We learned it in the band I'm in and so I hear it fairly frequently but it's always a real delight! One of my favorite songs of theirs and I basically like every song they ever released.
True story about John and his Pops, then him and his first Son. comes around goes around!

Aloha gentleman, I lived this. Peace and love my brothers
Great band. That vocal register here. That bass, great song all the way through. ❤
Sweet hitchhiker is my favorite song from CCR

I always loved the simple metronome-like percussion that opens this and keeps time throughout.
Thanks guys. I always love your reactions.
One of my favorites by them. Very deep message
Just a beautiful song.
Gentlemen ... stellar work as always. You on a good path, finding gold nuggets along the way. The music really supported the message of this song, so Sixties in that way. Simple, straightforward, great vocal.
Still waiting for Wild Horses (and/or anything else off of Sticky Fingers) ... Sway, I Got The Blues ... so many await you. Keep going.
🔥🔥CCR🔥🔥🔥
The only thing we will understand is that we will never understand
There is a documentary I believe on Netflix of CCR ending with a live concert at Royal Albert Hall…….a amazing tight live band

Also from Michigan. Agree!
Go Lions
Commotion. CCR. FANTASTIC!
An underrated song by CCR. You could set a clock by that drum beat, fantastic lyrics. Nice reaction La/Che. 😊
I love them ❤ everyone of there sons❤

Something about those San Francisco bands 🔥🫡 good stuff ✌️
Great as usual, I wish you would do this if you havent already Toto - Hold The Line
Great band! 5 amazing albums!
So many songs but this is one of my favorite Fogerty songs. Great American singer songwriter Great choice
This has great soul underones in the verses
It's true. "Someday never comes."
Tough love and a great deep cut! For another great deep cut, try Ramble Tamble off Cosmos Factory, one of the very best albums. CCR rocking in their own, unique and amazing way. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
ZZ Top - Ten Foot Pole
I hear a lot of “a simple man” by lynyrd skynyrd inflection’s in that CCR number 🤔
A great song. Very moving.
Great choice!! Great reaction!!
Great reaction guys! Now you just gotta do CCR's - Long As I Can See the Light.
Maybe their most emotion invoking song, what a great father & son tribute! CCR is just incredible

No he is not. That's laughable. Not every band or artists is underrated, and Folgerty is not one of them.

First thing I remember was asking Poppa why?🎼🎶🎼🎶🎶🎼
Good choice,they have so many in a span of 5 yrs..
Bootleg
Feelin blue
Penthouse pauper
This is the most personal song John Fogerty ever wrote. His Dad left his mother and he also got divorced.
👍x2
good stuff

Very similar lyrics to to Skynyrd's Simple Man
It's too bad this band couldn't keep it together, jealousy and tension tore them apart. But what GREAT music they made😮😅😊
Now hit the Penthouse Pauper...
If you guys like CCR, check out Born To Move.
Chris Cornell surely channeled John Fogerty on this song.
CCR yayuh. Sue's husband Bill
Thanks for rocking with us Bill and Sue!!!
Too often the cavalry never comes for the boys with absent fathers.

Opa und sein Enkel.
CCR. The music seems so simple. Melodies are simple. Instrumentation is too. Harmonies are basic. Like, I can write this. Yeah, good luck with that.
I just don't think John Fogerty's voice is nearly as good on this song as it usually is.
Song is tough asf 😤🤙🫡
