Samantha Hussain "Without one, there would be an empty, empty space..." I used to find peace when listening to this song. but i know what ya mean... ;)
Not for a little while Not for a day But forever forever forever One shows one the way With out one There would be an empty Empty space With one i can see One's own face Not for a little while Not for a day But forever forever forever One shows one the way One is not a style One is not a fad One is not a trend If one makes me smile And one tells one We will never end Not for a little while Not for a day But forever forever forever One shows one the way One is not lost One is a game With one One has the pleasure as of knowing ones own name Not for a little while Not for a day But forever forever forever One shows one the way
Beautiful song , I don't think I've ever heard it,elsewhere . But , I'm guessing this was done a few years after Roky's release from Rusk , in 1972. Camcorders and Beta or VCR tape players were'nt available to the public , and it's doubtful Evelyn could have afforded one of the earlier models , but it could be 8mm sound. This was probably done around 1978 -80 , just going by how Roky looks, here. His hair was shorter in 72-73, in all the pics I've seen , and the Elevators' 8mm rehearsal film.

His voice strikes a chord, deep in my soul, and with little (apparent) effort he can reinvent emotion inside of me.
This is a game changer. God bless this song.
i don't know how a man that could write music like this would be called insane.
Every human is insane to some degree or another, I've yet to meet one perfectly sane individual yet.
Not for a little while
Not for a day
But forever forever forever
One shows one the way
With out one
There would be an empty
Empty space
With one i can see
One's own face
Not for a little while
Not for a day
But forever forever forever
One shows one the way
One is not a style
One is not a fad
One is not a trend
If one makes me smile
And one tells one
We will never end
Not for a little while
Not for a day
But forever forever forever
One shows one the way
One is not lost
One is a game
With one
One has the pleasure as of knowing ones own name
Not for a little while
Not for a day
But forever forever forever
One shows one the way
Roky´s more soft songs are fantastic! Thanks for posting!
More tears, Roky you are amazing.
you were in it with this one man and you translated it for the human race....sooo good.
Roky will always be with me.....
this is my favorite "youtube" video
Such an important song. Duality is the discord. He's singing from a place. with patience. because he uderstands the abstract you and i are living in.
🥰
a gorgeous song.
