Come
And talk of all the things we did today
Here
And laugh about our funny little ways
While we have a few minutes to breathe
Then I know that it's time you must leave

But darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

And now
A quarter of my life is almost past
I think I've come to see myself at last
And I see that the time spent confused
Was the time that I spent without you
And I feel myself in bloom

So darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

Darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

Go
And beat your crazy head against the sky
Try
And see beyond the houses and your eyes
It's ok to shoot the moon

So darling
My darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

Maybe I should I incorpoprate the word "dawdle" into my chit-chat?

When this album was released, WNEW 102.7 FM (NYC) used to play it a lot. I was 14yrs old & I bought the album. I've loved it ever since!  Thanx RP!

See your point where some in all generations may see the current artists as less real than the what they grew up with. But I can also see why one might think that way for the current generation.  There's enough research on current music these days that says the majority of music over time since the last 20 years plus, is getting more and more sounding the same.  For example, you're not going to find an unpredictable chord progression you could find in a Stealy Dan number, in today's music. A lot of pop music has become basically one simple formula of a 3-chord progression that has been repeated over and over again.  
If anyone was asking, my observation today there are still great artist out there, you just may have to look a little harder to find them.

Posted 4 years ago by jp33442    [ Reply ]
Joe had many special superpowers, but two of them were his ability to choose just the right song to cover and then make it his own. 

And it's a great service to the music fan who gets more mileage out of a song they love.

I don't think anyone performed covers of songs any better than Joe Cocker.
He not only put his own wonderful spin on so many great songs; but arguably, at times gave us sounds that were equally as good as the originals.  What a wonderful performer!

"dawdled" and "toddled". My English has some weak spots so I had to look that up.

He's among the rare singers, including Steven Tyler, whose voice I like more in his early period. So much power, mastery and perfection right from the start, until the booze made it... something else (obviously transcending, too).

RIP JOE!  I'm sorry to say you were a bit off with your line "a quarter of my life is almost passed" - in fact that would have been wishful thinking for most of us considering you were 25 at the time.  And from what I've heard from my late father (may he also RIP) and step-mom who you used to "party" with in the late 70s/early 80s, I think you had your kicks and I'm happy you made it to 70.5 years on this planet. 

RIP LEON TOO!

LONG LIVE RP....keep playing the rocking tunes B&R!

Sorry to rain on the love parade here, but I re-listened to this several times on spotify to verify and I am pretty sure the lyric goes:

What a difference a word makes... one version is sweet and sentimental, the other brings up serious concerns about pedophilia.

Not for me.  He is not one of my favorites.  But he was a very good person.  He lived in Crawford here in Colorado and he did good things for the community, and not what HIS ideas were, but what the people wanted.  I respect him for that.

Excellent cover—whole different take on the original which is light and airy. I love this one—urgent and sort of needy.
Posted 9 years ago by leafmold    [ Reply ]
Possibly the greatest interpreter of other people's songs in rock and roll.

From AMG: One of John Sebastian's greatest later-day Lovin' Spoonful songs, "Darling Be Home Soon" was transformed in this version by Joe Cocker to another level entirely. Lyrically, it's one of the most heartfelt songs about being away from a loved one, written from the point of view of a musician on the road writing a letter. The simple, four-chord melody is positively delicious and is a great example of restraint and subtle power. This performance is buttressed not only by Cocker's vocal but by the entire performance, especially the powerful piano performance, which neatly echoes the work on "Feelin' Alright."

I grew up in Crookes, Sheffield and loved to go to The Ball Inn pub there. Joe's mum used to play wonderful piano in the back room, and if we were lucky Joe would turn up and sing along. Great times, great guy. Always humble. A sad loss.
