Budgie - I Can't See My Feelings

"I Can't See My Feelings" off Welsh Rock/Metal group Budgie's "Bandolier" album of 1975.
One of the most underrated albums and bands of all time... Also, a shortened this song was covered by Iron Maiden as a B side for their "Fear Of The Dark" album.
Lyrics:
I can't see my feelings open my eyes
I can't see my feelings open my pair of eyes
I can't see my feelings keeping me high
I just keep on reeling bought me back tell me why
I just stand there screaming,don`t even try
Music bans all feeling
If it'll tell me why
I can't stop that feeling showing me why
Man I love that feeling yeah
Floats me right through the sky

Budgie is another one of those bands that I just loved as a kid in the '70s. I grew up in San Antonio, Texas, where Budgie were as big as Led Zeppelin, Kiss or Black Sabbath. They were played on the local rock radio station constantly and were a huge concert draw. Oddly, I thought they were a massive multi-platinum band until I moved out of state for a while and discovered that no one had heard of them. These guys were just stellar!

[@jswissman702]

Fancy seeing you here...your channel has gotten me back into the heavier end of my music listening, which at one point was dominated by Agalloch. I got into Budgie back in the early 90s I think it was. Roadrunner re-released their first album if I recall correctly. Nostalgic listen for me....I listened to Led Zep 1 in my car today and it lead me to listening to Budgie tonight.

[@threadbear]

It baffles me why this band never went stratospheric. Not many out there to even touch them.

[@mushthefirst9336]

My theory for why these guys never made it big was because their frontman was a pasty-faced Welshman with Coke-bottle glasses and an octave too high voice. But fuck everybody else, we know how good they were! And I still might change my last name to Burke!

[@shockedthemonkey]

mushthefirst Insert Canadian instead of Welsh and you've got Geddy Lee!

[@mushthefirst9336]

shockedthemonkey I've heard that comparison made quite often. I wish Budgie had half the recognition Rush has. They were first, after all : )

[@Lennyofbassist]

Alex Threadgill They were actually a really big deal back in the day, which is why you've got bands like Metallica and Van Halen, even Iron Maiden occasionally covering Budgie's material. Their staying power just wasn't all there, despite it being them and Judas Priest that helped lay the grounds and expand on the more 70's style of metal.

[@ledavalon7118]

it might also be because bands like Zeppelin and Sabbath were reigning supreme in the rock industry at the time so there was a lot of established competition.

[@leemehan]

Bands like Budgie, Rush and Led Zeppelin laid down the foundation of heavy metal and rock music for generations! These guys are the fathers of it!

Budgie was my identity band in HS. A signature trait as I collected what ever they released when they were only available on import back in the early seventies.

[@waterdonkey]

I have friends to this day thanking me for playing Budgie at my many parties way back when. Everyone was asking for Stones, Zep, Aerosmith, which they got, but when I cued Budgie it was something fresh they'd never heard before. One of the greatest pure hard rock bands ever, and it's hard to believe they aren't more well known.

[@markasof]

Seems to me that one of their greatest attributes is that they dont record music that they cant duplicate live. The albums don't contain the dozens of overlays that most bands employ to fluff -up their music. It's left with that beautiful raw edge that sets these guys apart. All other bands that are unable to create the fullness exhibited by this three piece must yield the right of way.DOT!
