My dad passed away last night, it was his favourite band! We used sit down together drink whisky, listen to this and cry! What a fucking great song and band! R.I.P Dad
I never knew my dad. I turned 18 my Mom left my town to be with her friend and have children. Suddenlyhad the opportunity to live with him and find out what kind of person he was. Finally when I was about to find what was missing from my life we couldn't see each other even when we were two Chambers away. Was it me or something was really wrong. This song reminds me of my route to seek what I never had but maybe I must search for what I must fight for...
It’s sad being a young man, enjoying only 60s and 70s music, watching my favourite artists pass on and never having the opportunity to hear them live. Rest in Peace Burke.. I discovered your music shortly after your passing but the tunes will live on, through me at the very least.
Saw their logo on some guys shirt the other day and decided to check them out. My jaw is in the floor. Why aren't these guys as famous as Sabbath or Deep Purple?
@@purplestuff not every band back then got a shot to be as big as Black Sabbath or Deep Purple and we're completely buried by an industry that wanted the next Robert Plant.
The great metal/rock musicians appreciate them. Metallica, Megadeth, Iron maiden, Van Halen, and Soundgarden have covered their songs. If Metallica hadn't made covers from Budgie, I had never found them. They became quite well-known after Metallica released Garage Inc.
Pink Floyd. Also if you like this style of guitar playing, (imitating other sounds) I'd recommend listening to Adrian Belew, who is very well known for this kind of stuff. He can make his guitar wail like an elephant and many other stuff
R.I.P. Burke Shelley. Such a magnificent bassist, and just as powerful of a singer. Every time I listen to this song in particular it brings me to the verge of tears. Budgie truly shaped what would become heavy metal just as much as bands like Black Sabbath did, and it's criminal that they still aren't as well know!
My w Polsce znamy ich od 1972 roku kochaliśmy ich muzykę warsztat muzyczny byli unas w Polsce kilka razy na koncertach. Asz się wierzyć niechce jak tak doskonała grupa nie była popularna i doceniana w Wielkiej Brytanii. Mam 72 lata i nigdy ich talentu nie zapomnę Panie świetny świec nad dusza Bukiego
Budgie was huge in Poland. I remember my 80s high school time home parties. Budgie and alcohol were always there. So refreshing, unique, new experiences in those grey times. We were intoxicated by their music. Memories for life and soundtrack of my young years. RIP Burke Shelley.
Yeah, from as far as Florida USA (formerly Warsaw Poland) . So sad this great band is so badly underrated ! I have seen them live back in Poland in 80s. It was like a dream experience seeing band like this from behind an "Iron Curtain".
interesting, did they tour the USA before 1976? I find it interesting the timing because shortly after Judas Priest releases the album Point of Entry... it sounds like they had some influence from Budgie, specially from the song "Pyramids" from 1973
Started listening to Budgie as a teen in San Antonio now at age 54 I love to listen to this song riding my motorcycle thru the piney woods of East Texas
In 1978 I was 13 years old, a friend had the album Best of Budgie, he put it on and I was hooked. He said to me "ever heard of Budgie", of course I hadn't. I bought the album myself, I am now 55 and I don't know how many times I have repeated "have you ever heard of Budgie". Every single person I have played Budgie to fall in love with it. I have two kids,21 and 24 and they both love Budgie, plus everything else I listen to, Sabbath, Priest,TOOL, Led Zep, you name it they love it. Took them to see Sabs last show in 2013 and to TOOL Feb this year. I am so blessed to have kids that love what their dad listens to. My father was a Johnny Mathis fan, so you can imagine his horror when I played my stuff :( Dad and I were best friends and work mates for 40 years, never could convert him, but I have it with my kids. Truly blessed for that.
Same as me ...13 in '78. First saw budgie at Hammersmith oden at 14! Last saw them at Colchester a few years back. Our local pub even has a few budgie tracks on their jukebox!!
That was my first Budgie album as well. Went on to get them all. Saw them twice, once at reading festival 79 or 80. Great band. I’m still listening to them aged 58
One of the best songs by this band. When i first heard this masterful song i was blown away. Soooo good has everything from soft jazz guitar bass and then just cranks in crescendoing resonance.
25+ years ago, a curious girl would rummage through various vinyls and cassettes my grandfather accrued when he worked for MCA, discovering all sorts of music. I'll never forget stumbling across Budgie, and how their music spoke to me. This band has, and will continue to stick with me. Man, I love this band.
You were lucky to have him as a grandfather. You couldn't have been exposed to better music! I've loved Budgie since their first album came out. I had an English boyfriend who turned me on to them. I'll always be grateful for that.
Hunter sun its just quality music it hits and takes you somewhere far off without leaving your space where you sit stand or lay welcome to 101 the science of soul travel buckle up and enjoy the ride and listen on
Sorrow, sadness, nostalgii in my heart.... Remainds me my Parents....One of the best rocks ballads of all time....Look back to my life, my heart, my memories, my soul.....I'ts so much beautiful...God Bless them...
Przy takiej muzyce poznałem moja pierwszą dziewczynę. Miałem wtedy 17 lat i piękne długie włosy po pas. Włosy wypadły..., ale dziewczyna pozostała ta sama. Jest moją moją wspaniałą żona do dziś i tą jedyną dziewczyną w życiu... już 38 lat.
I grew up on this band and so Budgie is just a part of me. I am 19 now and fully learning to respect and appreciate music and Budgie is honestly my favorite band. Any chance I get I gush about them to people I know if they have never heard of them. Budgie will always be a huge part of my life and if I have kids I am also going to raise them on Budgie
Today, June the 21st, I finally brought home my very first Budgie record. I discovered this band earlier this year and they quickly became one of my favourites. This record travelled all the way from England to southern Italy. Surely a 2nd Budgie record will follow
"Budgie" is The Soundtrack of my youth! This song, "Parents" is a Masterpiece! Thank you for uploading! Cheers! From the precious Tampa Bay, Florida! 🎸🎸🎸👋👍
I'm Polish-Australian IMHO Parents is the best ever written and sang song in the rock history. In fact I am Polish and this kind of music is giving incredible emotional thrill to Slavic soul. 40 years listening and never bored. It's incredible!!!!!!.
this song is so emotional, especially the last verse...it really sums up those feelings of reflection and taking those close to you for granted...until they are gone...
I met these guys in Cardiff capital Hotel in 95. It was the 25years reunion. All the band were there past and present. They were a great bunch of down to earth lads doing what they love doing. Always a big fan of this great band.
A great live band that I was lucky enough to see a few times back in the 70's, from one of my favourite albums. This IMO, one of the greatest underrated rock songs of the 1970's
My mum and dad divorced when i was 6, and I went to live with my mum a long way away from my dad. Im 21 now, and due to some difficult family stuff, ive had to live with my dad (for the first time since then) for the past year. Im moving away from him tommorow to start my own life, and im just listening to this song and crying. Life is a beautifully and devastatingly emotional thing. Peace.
i do hope that you are safe and have been able to find a home to start your life but most of all what i hope most of l in this world that you do find someone to love and that they love you in return. one more when you remember anytime , anywhere be grateful for at least 3 things in your life or for even the love you found
How I love this song. It had such an impact on me when I first heard it many years ago, and I still love it just as much today. I love the fade out ending where the guitars are imitating gulls squawking, which is because they heard gulls all the time in their native coastal home in Wales.
One of the best bands that somehow never made the big time.It just blows me away that they didnt because they definately were good enough and they have a sound that is kick ass and uniquely there own.
Seems I'm not alone, having listened to rock music for over 40 years and never heard of Budgie until recently. What a talented band and excellent song! They definitely should be more popular than they were. I never liked the radio because they played the same stuff over and over and over.....
Born in 1969, got to know them through this CD in 1986 in Korea where few people knew Budgie at the time, saw them at London Astoria in 2003, and still listening in 2020...
Tears in my eyes listening to this and reading the comments. Discovered Budgie when they supported Ozzy on Blizzard of Oz tour 1982 I think. Saw them in Coventry with schoolmates. Amazing band and songs, still so good now. God bless Burke and rest of the band, and all listening in 2020!
This song blew my mind and Tony Bourges guitar work was a huge part of that; at a time I was drowning myself in guitar players, he jumped into my Top 3, and stayed there 💕 He's an amazing guitar player
Ok, he is a good guitar player, I’ll give him that.. But the most underrated ever? That dubious title only applies to one man.. His name is Frank Marino.
i first heard this track in the summer of 1976 in a friends car coming back from a Queen gig in Edinburgh i had never heard of Budgie untill then. I can remember being speachless after hearing it...... one of the most astonishing bits of music i have ever heard then and now.Thanks Burke what a talent you are.
My mum gave me this vinyl along with some others from her collection. I'll admit to not having heard of Budgie, but i loved the album cover so stuck it straight onto my turntable. Got through the whole album and loved the Black Sabbath style. Great songs. Then this song came on. All i can say is wow, just wow. Utterly stunning lyrics and vocal delivery. That guitar solo too! Beautiful. I couldnt believe Burke Shelley was a man though! Such a feminine voice. 10/10 from me
I commented on this amazing band recently and then I figured icomment was fair and precise. They grabbed my sences but tonight I'm for the most part without words. Timeless poetic and very original.
My favourite song from that awesome band. The seagulls echoing the rythm of the solo at the end is just something... so amazing! give me the chills and reminds me why I love rock and roll so much. What a band dudes, what a band.
I wonder why this is the only rendition of this song. It's such a great song. And not one person has bothered to cover it. Granted it is a long song. But it's fucking beautiful. A great piece of work.
słuchałem to z kumplami w latach 70 tych. Teraz przypomina mi młodość. Nie ma tego wykonawcy ani na spotify , ani na apple music tylko na You Tube. Super,że gdzieś jeszcze jest.
Ja kupilem ich CDs, jakie tylko moglem "dorwac"! Czesc na gieldzie plyt w Orlando i Tampa (Floryda) od Niemca i Anglika, reszte przyslal mi koles z Niemiec. W Polsce chyba tez cos kupilem...Pozdrowienia dla fanatykow!
A song that really resonates with me, being 24 and turning 25 next month, still living at home, grappling and struggling between truly growing up and moving out on my own and hanging on to the very last remains of my childhood, still living with with my parents.
This song is actually beautiful. I can imagine this being up there with the greats but I have no idea why this band didn’t become as famous as they should of done
Got introduced to this track by a guy I met at work a few months back and I'm so glad he got me into this, immediately into my top 10 songs ever, can't not listen to this beautiful track don't need to be from the era to appreciate genius
I totally agree! They were one of THE heavy metal bands in the 70's & I had all their albums... What can I say? I'm a classic rock junkie, now & forever!
classics never go away, and this is up their with the best...........still love it even after all these year, i'm Zozerely who is now 66 years young. ; )
One of the greatest bands of that era. They influenced so many well known bands of today. So versatile and the lead guitarist, Shelly Bourg, I think his name is...absolutely brilliant.
My dad passed away last night, it was his favourite band! We used sit down together drink whisky, listen to this and cry! What a fucking great song and band! R.I.P Dad

Eehh. There's other stuff you just gotta did like Earthless. I think you'll like them
Saw them Live 1976 SA Texas. Wish I was 14 again.
By God they were brilliant. Thank you from a sixteen year old boy to a now 62 year old OLD! man.
I'm 35, I grew up on Rush, Black Sabbath, etc. How the hell did I never hear of this incredible band...!!! I'm totally stoked!

Budgie must be the most under-rated band ever?
This song is fantastic.

The great metal/rock musicians appreciate them. Metallica, Megadeth, Iron maiden, Van Halen, and Soundgarden have covered their songs. If Metallica hadn't made covers from Budgie, I had never found them. They became quite well-known after Metallica released Garage Inc.
This whole album is killer.
Really it's always been a favourite since I discovered it which was in 1981 so it was 7years old by then.

Super ! Jeden z najlepszych utworów muzyki rockowej wszech czasów !
Come ON! What other band can pull off guitar sounds that sound like sea gulls?!!!! They are so incredible and underrated. I absolutely LOVE Budgie.
Dave Gilmour, Pink Floyd, Echoes !971.
Check out "One Way Donkey Ride" by Whipersnapper
Television - Marquee Moon
What a find , they didn't sell their soul because they should be up there with Zeppelin, Stones, Sabbath , xcertra
Pink Floyd.
Also if you like this style of guitar playing, (imitating other sounds) I'd recommend listening to Adrian Belew, who is very well known for this kind of stuff. He can make his guitar wail like an elephant and many other stuff
One of the most underrated hard rock/metal bands to come out of the 1970's, they should have been in the same league as Sabbath, Purple, Zeppelin IMHO
They are.
Agreed!!
Definitely
+1
It was because of Burke Shelley's squeaky high voice that they never made it that big.
R.I.P. Burke Shelley. Such a magnificent bassist, and just as powerful of a singer. Every time I listen to this song in particular it brings me to the verge of tears.

This song blew my mind and Tony Bourges guitar work was a huge part of that; at a time I was drowning myself in guitar players, he jumped into my Top 3, and stayed there 💕
He's an amazing guitar player
I totally agree budgie are underrated what a band and brilliant live
He has the gift for sure, like Blackmore.
Ok, he is a good guitar player, I’ll give him that.. But the most underrated ever? That dubious title only applies to one man.. His name is Frank Marino.
i first heard this track in the summer of 1976 in a friends car coming back from a Queen gig in Edinburgh i had never heard of Budgie untill then. I can remember being speachless after hearing it...... one of the most astonishing bits of music i have ever heard then and now.Thanks Burke what a talent you are.
Very good , I am a BUDGIE fan since I was 15... now I am 55 . THANK YOU !
Welsh band from Cardiff,I grew up hearing this band,Alex Harvey Band etc etc
Awesome still to this day.Thank you for the share.
One of the greatest Budgie track what they ever made. Real awesome and mind blowing. Good job.
My mum gave me this vinyl along with some others from her collection. I'll admit to not having heard of Budgie, but i loved the album cover so stuck it straight onto my turntable. Got through the whole album and loved the Black Sabbath style. Great songs. Then this song came on. All i can say is wow, just wow. Utterly stunning lyrics and vocal delivery. That guitar solo too! Beautiful. I couldnt believe Burke Shelley was a man though! Such a feminine voice.
10/10 from me
your mother had a great choice of music in them days
God bless your mum..
100/100 friend 100/100
I commented on this amazing band recently and then I figured icomment was fair and precise. They grabbed my sences but tonight I'm for the most part without words. Timeless poetic and very original.
Give their album " IMPECKABLE " a listen its my favourite of theirs.
My favourite song from that awesome band. The seagulls echoing the rythm of the solo at the end is just something... so amazing! give me the chills and reminds me why I love rock and roll so much. What a band dudes, what a band.
kocham ten utwór
To Ty "stara baba" jesteś. Pozdrawiam - całuję.
This song still does it for me, it has everything 40+ years on
Underrated as hell.
one of the best hard rock ballads ever written; great music & lyrics.
One of the best Budgie songs with splendid guitarplay, nice memories
I wonder why this is the only rendition of this song. It's such a great song. And not one person has bothered to cover it. Granted it is a long song. But it's fucking beautiful. A great piece of work.
They have......search for Zoe Gilby....she's jazzy......not the best but at least she liked the song
I wouldn't want to hear a cover. Budgie did it perfectly!
IDKSOMTHIN
I think this is a hard bitch to play- thats why no one covered it ( properly)
IDKSOMTHIN perhaps rush could cover it?
Would do it justice
Opeth would be a nice candidate.
,,,,, great, strong, music like this will never get old and will never die - thanx to people like us.
Ok,słucham dziś,słucham jutro, będę słuchać ich zawsze.
Awesome, it takes me back to the days when I used to spend all my time on my motorbike! Happy memories, how time flies.
słuchałem to z kumplami w latach 70 tych. Teraz przypomina mi młodość. Nie ma tego wykonawcy ani na spotify , ani na apple music tylko na You Tube. Super,że gdzieś jeszcze jest.
+Zbigniew Łątka ok dzieki ze nam powiedziales
Ja kupilem ich CDs, jakie tylko moglem "dorwac"! Czesc na gieldzie plyt w Orlando i Tampa (Floryda) od Niemca i Anglika, reszte przyslal mi koles z Niemiec. W Polsce chyba tez cos kupilem...Pozdrowienia dla fanatykow!
Best Rock band that most people have never heard of..
A song that really resonates with me, being 24 and turning 25 next month, still living at home, grappling and struggling between truly growing up and moving out on my own and hanging on to the very last remains of my childhood, still living with with my parents.
Hope all is well with you we all have a story written for us. Try to enjoy the ride we’ll get through the tough times with the help of others❤
This song is actually beautiful. I can imagine this being up there with the greats but I have no idea why this band didn’t become as famous as they should of done
Got introduced to this track by a guy I met at work a few months back and I'm so glad he got me into this, immediately into my top 10 songs ever, can't not listen to this beautiful track don't need to be from the era to appreciate genius
THIS IS A MASTERPIECE BY BUDGIE… BRINGS BACK SO MANY MEMORIES… WHEN LIFE WAS SIMPLER AND WORTH LIVING… LOVE IT…💯🎵🎶☮️🥁🔝🎸🤍🤍🤍
The words are timeless for me.
I totally agree! They were one of THE heavy metal bands in the 70's & I had all their albums... What can I say? I'm a classic rock junkie, now & forever!
classics never go away, and this is up their with the best...........still love it even after all these year, i'm Zozerely who is now 66 years young. ; )
Saw them them in San Antonio, Texas once. Great band!
Ten and a half minutes of pure listening pleasure....I just wish they'd had made it longer!!!
The Budgie track... Tony Bourge must be the greatest unsung guitar player of all time.
Heard this song today for the first time, I was hooked straight away, what a tune.
One of the greatest bands of that era. They influenced so many well known bands of today. So versatile and the lead guitarist, Shelly Bourg, I think his name is...absolutely brilliant.
Tony Bourge

...kocham ten numer, i Tatę też, właśnie od niego wróciłem w związku z Dniem Ojca...:-)) ach nasi rodzice , ach my rodzice, ojcowie....:-))
