The Animals - It's My Life

0:44
It's a hard world to get a break in
All the good things have been taken
But girl there are ways to make certain things pay
Though I'm dressed in these rags, I'll wear sable some day
Hear what I say
I'm gonna ride the serpent
No more time spent sweatin' rent
Hear my command
It ain't no use, I'm breakin' loose,
Holdin' me down, stick around
But baby (baby)
Remember (remember)
It's my life and I'll do what I want
It's my mind and I'll think what I want
Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime
But some day I'll treat you real fine
There'll be women and their fortunes
Who just want to mother orphans
Are you gonna cry
When I'm squeezing them dry?
Taking all I can get
No regrets
When I ... openly lie
And live on their money
Believe me honey, that money
Can you believe, I ain't no saint
No complaints
So girl go out
Any doubt
And baby (baby)
Remember (remember)
It's my life and I'll do what I want
It's my mind and I'll think what I want
Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime
But some day I'll treat you real fine
(It's my life and I'll do what I want) Don't push me
(It's my mind and I'll think what I want) It's my life
(It's my life and I'll do what I want) And I can do what I want
(It's my mind and I'll think what I want) You can't tell me
(It's my life and I'll do what I want)

it's so strange to think this video was uploaded when I was a child in 2007 which to me feels like a lifetime ago, yet the day it was uploaded, the song was already over 40 years old which is longer than I've been alive. My mind simply can't comprehend how long ago the sixties was, yet whenever i listen to these songs they still sound so fresh, so modern, so original. idk if it's just me or if the songs were just that excellently crafted, maybe a mix of both, either way, i do hope this music never dies. it's a genuine miracle that the internet exists and we can access all these songs literally in the palm of our hands

Eric Burdon...one of the all time greats. Summer of '66, I drove my red Mustang fastback to a concert in upstate NY. The opening number was "Don't Bring Me Down". On the opening power chord, a gigantic speaker mounted 20 feet above the stage exploded. I kid you not. After a 30 minute delay, the band came back on, and this time the speaker held up. Eric Burdon continued through a 90 minute set, and, I tell you, he was the real deal. They did virtually every song in their record catalog, and more.

[@slide7572]

from where did you drive your Mustang to Upstate NY? Thanks for sharing your memory. Reminds me of when I was asked to choose a song during a group psychotherapy session. Each torture victim chose a song for the counselor to play. The counselor loaded my song, then foolishly walked away from the player. The opening banging bars of "Crazy Train" song by Ozzy Osbourne nearly knocked my unknowing counselor off the floor as he walked towards me away from the speakers with his back facing the player. Made my day. At least I laughed.

One of the most underrated singers out there. Sure, you hear about Jagger, Lennon and McCartney but Eric Burdon's voice tops them all. (Jagger has the best stage presence of course!) Why can't they make music like this anymore? People with real raw talent. At this point, it didn't matter how they looked or how marketable they were, it was about talent, ability and most importantly the music. I wish we could go back to simpler times. It seems like music was so much fun back then instead of the insanity it has become. Sorry to preach. It just came out.

He comes from a British working-class background, and so many songs have the theme of getting out of that treadmill existence, and of gaining freedom from that rigid fifties mentality of what was and wasn't acceptable.

[@BigStar303]

@@spellbounddj4758 Actually, it's just the opposite. If you know the song, you'll know that Eric dragged out his phrasing too long, and thus was not in the right spot when Chas and Dave came in (properly) with the backing vocals. The perils of singing live to a pre-recorded backing track! Eric sometimes had trouble with this. Years ago, I heard a TV performance of "Don't Bring Me Down" that is much more dire than this. Eric gets totally lost...his vocals and the backing track are out of synch through half of the performance. None of this in any way diminishes the greatness of the recorded version of this song, or the great ones on either side of it ("We Gotta Get Out of This Place" and "Don't Bring Me Down"). Three of the most intense and powerful records of the 1960s; they'll live forever. (Honorable mention, too, to the great "Inside - Looking Out.")

That attitude that they had, that in your face kind of demeanor, we all shared that in those days. We questioned everybody about everything. We didn't take anything for granted after we saw what the politicians and businesses were doing. We didn't trust them. We got the answers we were looking for and started trying to do things better.

The Animals were a great 60s classic, unique and mind blowing!!

THE ANIMALS ARE GREAT. I SEEN THEM SEVERAL TIMES AND THE SHOW WAS GREAT. I LOVE THERE OPEN MINDED ATTITUDE AND THE WAY THEY SAY WHAT IS ON THERE MINDS.. THEY ARE LEADERS NOT FOLLOWERS AND PUPPETS.
