    The song is profound in many ways; it's about Violence, Women, and Money and how men keep making the same mistakes again and again.
    The cycle of life keeps happening again and again. That's what I love about Steely Dan, smart, great instrumentation, witty lyrics that make

      The closest I can come to are Through With Buzz, which seems more like a sketch than a complete song, and the cover of East St. Louis Toodle-oo was just unnecessary filler for a great LP like PRETZEL LOGIC. Maybe KINGS, since it's the weakest song on CAN'T BUY A THRILL.

  • @cliffordlowerre1381
    @cliffordlowerre1381 7 месяцев назад

    Another very nice reaction and analysis. Explore more! The Dan will get you hooked but no worries, they have a wealth of wonderful music to choose from filled with great lyrics, often with a humorous flavor. "My Old School" is a jam with a great guitar riff from Jeff "Skunk" Baxter. Song is about a drug bust at Bard college in Annandale-on- Hudson, N.Y. when Donald and Walter were attending. Great lyrics. Another is "Kid Charlemagne", about a chemist named Owsley Stanley who supplied LSD to many Rock Bands till he was busted. This song also has an awesome guitar solo from jazz great Larry Carlton.
    This is just a small tip of the iceberg to what is a deep catalogue of the musical genius of Steely Dan! Suffice it to say that you can't miss with the unique sound of the Dan! ENJOY! RIP MR. BECKER.

    The lyrics of this song are dark, but there is 6.1 minutes of amazing music. Steely Dan ran hundreds to tracks to every song and only recorded the best.

    RIP Walter Becker, one of the best electric guitarists of his generation.
    It's about people being stuck in self destructive cycles, be it getting in trouble with the law, gambling, falling in love with people who are only going to hurt you, etc. Mr. Becker had a long term battle with heroin and other substances so, that may have been part of the inspiration for these lyrics.

    JM Earlier in your other video you asked the question if you should put something other than music videos.
    I've seen others of them kick their ''azz'' doing what you want to do. If you read your comments, you have several new subscribers who subscribe to your channel precisely because they like the way you react to what you listen to. Keep expanding your musical universe as you do. You went from Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin to Steely Dan. Nothing prevents you from starting another channel with other kinds of videos. It would be silly to see your subscribers leave.

    My favorite lines: "Then you love a little wild one and she brings you only sorrow, all the time that she's been smilin' you'll be on your knees tomorrow..." The human condition in 3 verses, backed by a fantastic groove, keyboards, and electric sitar. This song was our introduction to Steely Dan.

  • @charliecochran3035
    @charliecochran3035 Год назад +4

    Steely Dan was really just two guys plus whatever musicians they brought in to make a song. The guitarist here is using some sort of attachment that makes an electric guitar an electric sitar...which gives it that jangly sound. Regardless I consider this one of the more impressive rock guitar solos ever.
    Their lyrics are rarely obvious. Sometimes it's hard to tell if they're mocking someone/something, whom or what it is, and why. That's the fun. One can spend a lot of time pondering lyrics, but this one is pretty straightforward. The dude is a loser.

    "Do It Again"
    In the mornin' you go gunnin' for the man who stole your water
    And you fire 'til he is done in but they catch you at the border
    And the mourners are all singin' as they drag you by your feet
    But the hangman isn't hangin' and they put you on the street
    You go back, Jack, do it again, wheel turnin' 'round and 'round
    You go back, Jack, do it again
    When you know she's no high climber then you find your only friend
    In a room with your two-timer, and you're sure you're near the end
    Then you love a little wild one and she brings you only sorrow
    All the time you know she's smilin' you'll be on your knees tomorrow, yeah
    You go back, Jack, do it again, wheel turnin' 'round and 'round
    You go back, Jack, do it again
    Now you swear and kick and beg us that you're not a gamblin' man
    Then you find you're back in Vegas with a handle in your hand
    Your black cards can make you money so you hide them when you're able
    In the land of milk and honey, you must put them on the table
    You go back, Jack, do it again, wheels turnin' 'round and 'round
    You go back, Jack, do it again
