    Stills is just a master of songwriting, voice, and guitar.

    Steve Stills. One of the best ever. Ever.

    for thse wondering....this is a medley of three songs: 1. "Blind Fiddler" is an old traditional folk song 2. "Do For the Others" from Stills' first solo album 3. "Know You Got to Run" from Stills' 2nd solo album (an early version of it, or at least part of the lyrics, was incorporated into "Everybody I Love You" by CSNY ...last track on Deja Vu)

    my favorite artist of all time..in any group effort an assest beyond compare, solo he is sublime. I challenge you to posit a more gifted song writer from the mid 64 to the present

    What a voice! What a conduit for unfiltered emotional truth. Love the way these three songs combine to flesh out the biography of the blind fiddler -- just extraordinary. Thanks for posting.

    Best CD I ever bought!!!
    They don't sell the CD any more so I doubt they will take it down since you really can't steal something that isn't for sale....but who knows...
    I bought two shrink wrapped CD's of this CD for $300 bucks where they will sit in storage for a LONG LONG time!
    Actually wore this CD out because it NEVER came out of the changer.

    Stills kind of went astray with disco and sappy pop for a few albums there. So glad he came back to acoustic soul This album is great .

    The lyrics for you to follow as the song plays =) ..........................
    I lost my eyes in a blacksmith shop
    In the year of fifty six
    Working on a t-flange
    'Twas in need of fix
    It bounded from the tongs
    And there concealed my doom
    I am a blind fiddler
    Far from my home
    I have a wife and daughter
    Depending on me
    What good can I do them
    My God I cannot see
    I wander from one place to another
    My daily bread to win
    I am a blind fiddler
    Looking for a friend
    Round round up and down
    All along the lonely town
    See him sinkin' low
    Doesn't see the love there is to know
    And he cries
    From the misery
    And he lies
    Singing harmony
    She is gone
    There is no tomorrow
    It is done
    So now he must borrow
    The life of his brothers
    And living in sorrow
    He must do
    For the others
    A chill wind hits his face
    Was that a tear
    I thought I saw a trace
    Loving people everywhere
    Where is she
    She is not there
    And he cries
    From the misery
    And he lies
    Singing harmony
    She is gone
    There is no tomorrow
    It is done
    So now he must borrow
    The life of his brothers
    And living in sorrow
    He must do
    For the others
    Know you got to run
    And you know you got to hide
    Don't know who to follow
    Who is on your side
    Don't know where you're going
    Won't talk of where you been
    And I may see you tomorrow
    Never more again
    And you got yourself a potion
    For to keep you from your sleep
    In the dark and lonely hours
    I've heard you laugh and weep
    Talk about you're sinkin'
    What a hole you're in
    But you'll never face your lonely soul
    Never face your friends
    And you know you got to run
    And you know you got to hide
    Still there is a great light
    Lingerin' deep within your eyes
    Open up open up
    C'mon and let me in
    When you can love yourself honey I
    I can love you then
    I lost my eyes in a blacksmith shop
    In seventeen fifty six
    Working on a t-flange
    'Twas in need of fix
    It bounded from the tongs
    And there concealed my doom
    I am a blind fiddler
    Far from my home
    Round round up and down
    All along the lonely town

    Like many artists from the 60s, 70s the awful production sounds of the 80s just didn't do them justice. A relief to hear Stephen Stills get back to basics on this record from 1991.

    To Piggy-Pike-Music-Like;
    Yes, he did write this one. Part of it is a reworked spiritual, and the rest is pieces from Stills' "Know You Got To Run" and "Do For The Others."

    I feel so often I must do for my brother Adrian who invented the hemp decorticator. But it is a hard road to hoe. I have always loved this song and I know the hardships and joy it can bring.

  • @rogerwright9961
    @rogerwright9961 6 лет назад +2

    Has this been recorded? I attended every concert in So Cal featuring my hero Stephen Stills for about 4 years, but I never heard this bit, nor can I find a recording. Clues, anyone? I've played guitar for 55 years, and this man is my hero - I need this song to play, for the others...

    • @bas2135
      @bas2135 5 лет назад +1

      This is on his album, Stills alone recorded in 1991. The whole album is sublime and very hard to find. Try Amazon- it is worth taking a chance on a used copy. No longer in print but sometimes new copies come up for sale on Amazon- pricey but worth every penny.

      Saw him do "Know You Got to Run" on clawhammer banjo in Knoxville when Manassas played there in '73. Nice!

    Can anyone help me get the tuning and the voicings/chords that he uses. Or even a transpose to standard would be cool. I'm only interested in the Fiddler parts. I can find the rest in song books. One of my favourite albums of all time!

  • @Piggy-Oink-Oink
