I'm One

[daddytodd]

Listened to Quadrophenia again yesterday. The best album about adolescence and growing up ever. Townshend is GOD!

Every year is the same
And I feel it again,
I'm a loser - no chance to win.
Leaves start falling,
Come down is calling,
Loneliness starts sinking in.

But I'm one.
I am one.
And I can see
That this is me,
And I will be,
You'll all see
I'm the one.

Where do you get
Those blue blue jeans?
Faded patched secret so tight.
Where do you get
That walk oh so lean?
Your shoes and your shirts
All just right.
But I'm one etc.

I got a Gibson
Without a case
But I can't get that even tanned look on my face.
Ill fitting clothes
I blend in the crowd,
Fingers so clumsy
Voice too loud.

But I'm one.

Yep, one of my 5 favorite albums of all time, along with "Pet Sounds", "Boy", "Skylarking" and probably "London Calling". I know, cliched choices, but I can listen to those records (yes, I said RECORDS hehe!) endlessly.

I downloaded FLESH the other day... you HAVE been a bad boy! Go to my room!

"Teenage Wasteland" is actually titled "Baba O'Riley," from the 1971 album "Who's Next," widely regarded as The Who's finest album. "Who's Next" is actually the shards of a bigger project, called "Lifehouse," an ambitious double album/film/live performance/multimedia project that collapsed in 1971. Some of the songs wound up on "Who's Next," some as singles in 1971-72 (back in the day when a single could exist independent of an album) and some trickled out on various Who albums for the remainder of the '70's. Some weren't heard until the Who CD reissue program of the '90's, when they appeared as bonus tracks.

There is a completely different song called "Teenage Wasteland," that would've been the lead track on "Lifehouse" but was apparently never recorded by The Who. It only appears (in demo form) on Pete Townshend's 6-CD box, "Lifehouse Chronicles," which came out in 2000.

History lesson concluded for today.

Teenage Wasteland" is actually titled "Baba O'Riley
