[@m.e.9974]

Really brings back memories.67 now.

[@peterlafond8656]

One of the greatest bands ever I'm 68 and still turning on younger people the brilliance of bloodrock and other great bands of my era

[@chaniagofams2409]

One of my very favorite song of the world, since I was 17 years old... Touching...!💕 Reggard from Indonesian..🙏🇮🇩

[@MsCofico1]

👍

[@ronaldminty8085]

Good Friend turn me on to this album in 1973

[@martianshoes]

I felt such a Procol Harum vibe from this as I first heard it 63 years ago….a jewel…..

[@masdwi45]

After all this years....this song is still my favorite song...........what a great song and voice...

[@sinsagoodmansbrother]

I'm back to say it again... I love the organ work that Stevie Hill did for Bloodrock... This is a beautiful example... I just played this song on my digital keyboard and thought about Stevie Hill... He should be remembered for the joy he brought us through his music... God Bless You Steve... We're still listening and we're still moved by your music...

[@martianshoes]

Hill's playing had a distinct Procol Harum feel to it...

[@robertklouse3868]

God bless Steve, Tx, and Miss Lily!!

[@BleuCzech]

Been a fan since the beginning . I've been teaching myself the keyboard on a hammonds organbought at a thrift store for. It's on chordify to see the chords. Awesome tender beautiful piece

[@sinsagoodmansbrother4674]

My mother put this album in an Easter basket for me when I was young... I remember it right in the middle wrapped in colored cellophane!.. What a great gift... I played it everyday. It's such a great album... I loved these guys... Bloodrock 2 and 3 are gems...

[@frankpagano8663]

Pure analog greatness. What a great musical era to grow up in.

[@sinsagoodmansbrother]

To be young again and blasting this from my bedroom upstairs listening to the beautiful melody and organ played by Steve Hill..

[@francoisgrenier4919]

Tears never fail to flow from my eyes when I listen to this song. Truly one of the most beautiful songs ever written, and the most moving voice ever! Still listening to Bloodrock in 2016 and always a joy!

[@yuditcorleone]

François Grenier the best ever

[@haroldfridkis8685]

Not bad at all. I love this!

[@sinsagoodmansbrother]

Agree!

[@santibravo4466]

Aguante la versión original de Soft Machine, pecho frio.

[@thomasrowe9822]

I was sixteen... this song was banned from all radio stations across Virginia..I heard it once..30 years ago...did not know the name of the band...thanks you tube!!!

[@sinsagoodmansbrother4674]

Stevie Hill's Organ Sounds Beautiful... I was very sad to hear the new that he passed on...

[@56dinosaur]

Yes, and rhythm guitarist Doyle "Nick" Taylor.

[@sinsagoodmansbrother]

Hello Stevie Hill in heaven... Your spirit and your music lives on forever...

[@victorianusindriyabargawa6638]

This is the one of my favorite songs.

[@CompleteSC]

Bloodrock was one of my favorite rock bands growing up, especially 2nd and 3rd albums, and motivated me during initial years of playing guitar. DOA received limited radio play at the time, which is how I initially heard of them. 'A Certain Kind' showcased a softer side of the band, and listening to this brings me back to that time in my life, very fond memories. I, too, had no idea this was a cover from another band. SO - i listened (rather, tried to listen) to the Soft Machine version (surprisingly, I had no idea who they were), so thanks to them for composing the song, and thank you Bloodrock for the feel, emotion and musicianship that you provided.

[@robertklouse3868]

Bloodrock so "uniquely" ,R&R to its CORE!

[@thesandman4438]

I was born in '71 and here I am listening on Easter 4/12/2020 in Las Vegas. Still good music. 95% of the music today is crap. Just remaking each others songs. No originality, no heart

[@Sanih-br9ue]

One of my favorite song .. 🙏

[@irfanrivai5367]

Oh my God....this is one of the best song ever...really like it...

[@sinsagoodmansbrother]

I'm back again... May you rest in peace Stevie Hill... So beautiful 46 years later....

[@makmunaja4226]

My memory remind, through the past, endkess memories 😔

My Father played this song when i was 8 years old..

[@alexwiwoho]

[@laurentwirz2806]

Bloodrock composed 💎💎💎 too!

[@AfroZen]

This is a cover of a Soft Machine tune. Written by Hugh Hopper....

[@wendalinarosalinatambuwun7589]

very good records.I really like it.ok.

[@zulqarnainiskandar2325]

Nice song...!!

[@rizaafaizal]

A certain kind... of love, I'd say Is this for me, every night Your love sets me alive And I know, i know it's real, coz it's what I feel, it's what I feel... And loving you the way I do Makes everything seem right again And when you're there I know you just can't tell the time Within your heart it's just not right it's just not right, it's just not right And so our love I see in you The things today, the things we do And when you're there I know You just can't see the time within your heart I know it's real, it's what I feel And loving you the way I do Makes everything seem right again And when you're there I know I know you just can't see All the time of day I know you're mine, and all the time

[@freddblaney1821]

Back to the Hair Days that many of people don't know about today and the music that came with it

[@bassandguitarguy]

Great tune! I've sang along with this for over 35 years! Great Lp ! Great highly underrated group! It's Jim Rutledge's birthday in January anyone know what day?

[@davidmauriciotavicol.6898]

soo good...

[@ZachChump3r]

@mauricemorning All musicians have flaws. Nobody can be perfect. I personally love the way he sings this. You can almost see him crying there is so much emotion in his voice

[@rajesharunyzar8264]

lagu ini mengandung makna yg teramat buat smua sahabat di seluruh alam...

[@winverdi]

really great song...

[@ZachChump3r]

@runway27r Jim Rutledge was the guy from Bloodrock.

[@1MadTrucker]

I know "Soft Machine" wrote this, (and I've heard it) but Blood rock does this song real justice! I've heard some of the other versions, some good.. some really...."butcehering!"

[@josephseason]

There are songs you just don’t forget

[@vano758]

It sounds like Chris Farlow sang the Soft Machine! Excellent rendition. The singer's superb..... But once again, imagine it were sung by Chris Farlow !! He'd push out stronger and braver and such version would be totally mind-blowing..... such a beautiful ending this one has. Love it. Greetings from Ukraine, people!

[@pasqualemuzzupappa8596]

Beautiful version! But Robert Wyatt's voice stands out as the best, and Mike's organ has its own mystic flavour which is unreachable

[@Hal9000ize]

Don't forget about Kevin's plodding bass

[@pasoneao]

...no es Soft Machine

[@CarlDidur]

Ya, alchemical mix of factors! Unreachable is right. I have been trying to imitate the Softs for 20 years up here in Canada and it is DAMNED HARD! Just be yourself, maybe....

[@setiawai]

so simple but very cool

[@wosslert]

This is a Soft Machine-cover (from their first album), done beautifully, I must say.

[@leegoss3803]

I recall that Soft Machine's organist was Mike RATLEDGE while Bloodrock's lead vocalist was Jim RUTLEDGE.

[@henkybobo]

Hell of a liryc ......

[@vangelisideras]

es una gran canción de la banda británica soft machine, sin embargo esta versión me es mas sugerente, gracias por subirla, greetings

The two versions are SO GREAT really, but we have to thank the original composer first of course !

[@didiekurnaedi8303]

hemmm..sangat"...indah waktu itu....

[@mauricemorning]

@ZachChump3r Yeah, I checked out the Soft Machine version right away and was unimpressed. I much prefer to hear Jim straining and delivering the occasional flat note. Still, my comment was about the composition of a great song. I love Bloodrock because of their flaws as much as I do in spite of them. By the way, my favorite Bloodrock song is Breach of Lease and I think on Bloodrock USA they showed unbelievable songcraft and delivered incredible performances. Thanks for the reply.

[@pasqualemuzzupappa8596]

Ah ah. You can't appreaciate the originality of British pataphisical approach to music in late 60. Good luck!

[@radensoedirman4782]

Gw pernah nonton konsernya..awesome

[@firmanstoners5861]

sejak di kursi sekolah dasrs aku suka sekali dengan lagu ini..

[@runway27r]

Kind of odd that Mike Ratledge was a member of Soft Machine and Mike Rutledge a member of Bloodrock. I wonder if Bloodrock found the song sue to the closeness of there names. And BTW, Soft Machine's 1st LP was just Called Soft Machine, not Volume One.

[@gynnjakarta]

I like this song very very much, though the group was not popular with their other hits.

[@genjuga9293]

im just a random jojo fan waiting this song to be some kind of musical reference in the future parts of jojo because this song is very beautiful

[@miniminpoh]

Gue suka ini..

[@tomburns70]

People have actually had to emote over a 'Bloodrock' song. I find that very sweet & truely revealing, but somehow leaves me feeling very CONFUSED !Please don't take this the wrong way. I just never thought of this great band - - in that way. Gotta think about this ?

[@ZachChump3r]

@rwwagsneb Reading this made me fall out of my chair. Good times, good times.

@Schubertwist That is like saying that Unchained Melody by Elvis is better than the Righteous Brothers version. It just simply isn't true.

[@mohe5220]

Gue banget,.. Muruy

[@mauricemorning]

Didn't know this was a Soft Machine song. All these years I have been giving Bloodrock credit for a brilliant composition. Be nice to hear it sung by a real singer. No offense Jim.

[@DirkjeA]

Oh my, for me this really wrecks a perfect Soft Machine song. Ok, some may like this cover, to me the original is way better. This one misses the special flaw and doesn't give me nearly as much goosebumps (if at all) as the Soft Machine version does. But I know, in the end it all comes down to the matter of taste......

[@mimetics]

Not sure I understand your thinking "wrecks a perfect Soft machine" It is a different take on the original-- and I might add I'm not alone when I say it's great to hear another Band take it on and give it a go-- I think it's great cover! Again "Flaw" vs 'perfect" which is it? Our can it be the same?

[@kennethj.benton8641]

[@raticide4you]

This is a typical American version, more pathetic, bombastic and with more power than the withdrawn and vulnerable British original version by Soft Machine. This bombastic effect is emphaisezed by the sounds of the voice and the saxophone and a cheap slow down in rhythm here and there. What I miss and hasn't been understood by Bloodrock is the fragile 16th century Renaissance intro by William Byrd's 'The Earl of Salisbury', They turn that into a 20th century Broadway musical kind of arrangement. But even played by Bloodrock, the song is still strong, because it is a unique composition, never heard before and never repeated again in pop music.

[@martianshoes]

Well thank you, this has been a fav of mine for >40 years but I did not know that Soft Machine covered it, and I have two Soft Machine albums (Bundles and SoftSix) but had ever heard their version will look for it now!!!

[@billlloyd4029]

They didn't 'cover' it, they wrote it. Or rather they inherited it from their predecessor group The Wilde Flowers who contained several of the same members.

[@robotnumber6]

Soft Machine used what sounds like a real pipe organ ... enough said!

[@ellanurlaela5721]

Pram Olivir.... 😘

[@ZachChump3r]

@mauricemorning True. They didnt write it. But have you heard the Soft Machine version. Its shit in comparison. Elvis wrote Unchained Melody and he sang it and it was horrible. The Righteous Brothers sang it and it was a hit. Nobody can sing it better than Jim.

[@indianlima807]

Karaoke version,no vocal, visit: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKm4hI2bjZmdfLM

[@ZachChump3r]

@MagiKpeople Simply and utterly wrong. There are tons of covers that are better than the original artist. Not only in rock but all genres(minus hip hop, thats all crap cover or not).

[@sirronald69]

* * * * *

[@plantagenant]

Not bad but I'll take the Soft Machine original with all its elegiac gloominess.

[@francoisgrenier4919]

The voice on SM reeks! Bloodrock turned that piece of charcoal into a diamond.

[@plantagenant]

Robert Wyatt , the original singer, is and acquired taste..but it has a fragility that adds to the songs poignancy. This singer turns it into some sort of "power ballad"....and that saxaphone solo...ugh....anyway....each to their own.

[@BundySloth]

You're right this version is just ok, but it's really straightforward and a bit over the top.

[@BundySloth]

@Mandy Vin I respectfully disagree, I think it makes it more contrived and sterile. What @plantagenant said is spot on, It's the fragility and vulnerability in RW's voice, and the overall tone of the instrumentation in the original that makes it such an emotionally visceral experience.

[@BundySloth]

@Mandy Vin Referring to early Soft Machine as "generic shit" it's clear you're a philistine.

[@Schubertwist]

The soft Machine version is about a million times better. Nobody sings like Robert Wyatt. Nice try though...

[@sinsagoodmansbrother]

I'm back again... May you rest in peace Stevie Hill... So beautiful 46 years later....
