I don't know that much about the band specifics, but I heard on the news yesterday that the drummer, Jim Capaldi, died of stomach cancer, and that reminded me that one of their songs from the 70's was a favorite of mine--Low Spark of High Heeled Boys. It has a really mellow laid back jazz sound, and it was always one of my faves which for me was rather odd, the hard rocker I have always been! They played an entirely different sound in the late 60's, and some was pretty good, but this one song is really the only thing I can remember of theirs. I just DL'd it and am listening to it as I write this, and I have to say, my typing is singing right along with them! More... (Submit New Traffic Lyrics) (Submit New Traffic Lyrics) Review about Traffic warm spring days | Reviewer: TDC ------ About the song Dear Mr. Fantasy performed by Traffic This song makes me think of riding in a buick convertible in the late sixties, on a warm spring day, when to a child of 5-12yrs old the world looked green and fresh. Simple times, 5 and 1/2 day work weeks, weekends off. AHH! the days of excess. U-Turn | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Every Mothers Son performed by Traffic I looked at the lyrics for this song and was blown away by how few of the words I know. Considering that I've listened to the album at least 1,000 times since it came out when I was 14, I can only conclude that I must've smoked some pretty good stuff in the last 40 + years. Meaning of the lyrics | Reviewer: EricTN ------ About the song Dear Mr. Fantasy performed by Traffic I'm surprised no one seems to relate to the lyrics the way I do. This song is an absolute inditement of the casual, vacuous listener. The one that can't figure out why the guy/gal who entertains them is just as likely to blow his/her own head off. "But don't feel bad, if you were normal, we wouldn't have even invited you to the party".... for this reason, alchohol and intense loneliness were invented. I wanna go back | Reviewer: Debie ------ About the song Dear Mr. Fantasy performed by Traffic Every time I hear this song, I just want to go back to the day when this song first played on air... This song gives me the feeling of peace, serenity, calmness and solitude...It doesnt matter who plays this song, each artist that has recorded it has taken it to new levels of undefinable surrealism...This was my time - always will be, it is embedded in my soul.... very good | Reviewer: mindwarp.cz ------ About the song Hole in My Shoe performed by Traffic I love this song. But best passage is that, where little kid starts to speak about climbing on the back of giant albatross. He has so sweet voice, I will give anything, if I can have similar voice/child singer in my tracks. Great Song!! | Reviewer: Jim ------ About the song Dream Gerrard performed by Traffic Dream Gerrard, probably the best song off of the When the Eagle Flies Album. The string sound, give me goose bumps. Steve Winwood brings it all to the table on this track. Great keyboards, with great vocals give the song a rich full sound. Each time I hear this song, I get the impression, if they would have stayed together, going into a more of a jazz-fusion sound, I guess, it would have to do with Chris Wood working the sax on this track. I feel like at times, this song hovers over the gound and you begin to lift off when the strings kick in. It's easy for me to ramble, this is their best album period, which has a dark element attached with it. My dad | Reviewer: M. Ogborn ------ About the song Dear Mr. Fantasy performed by Traffic I was born in '72 to a couple of hippies. My whole life whenever that song comes on the radio to this day, it brings me a feeling of calmness, and a certain nostalgia if you know what I mean. My dad played guitar (he's passed on now) and I dont remember if he played this song or not, but I think he probably did because I have this song etched in my heart for some reason. I loved it when my parents had thier friends over and they would make music, feel good and so this song takes me back to those real good times. Always taken away --- | Reviewer: D. Scott ------ About the song Dear Mr. Fantasy performed by Traffic Every time I hear Steve Winwood (or any other version) of Mr. Fantasy it takes me away to a different time. A time of rebellion, searching, desires, and yes, fantasies. I am a forty something rocker. This song is humble request of the artist to lift a listener's soul into the plane of surreality. No other lyrics dig as deep into the soul for this purpose as Mr. Fantasy. One for the Soul | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Dear Mr. Fantasy performed by Traffic Ive worked with alot of acts 10 years ago for 20 years.. I saw Stevie Windwood do this on the Clapton Crossroads special and it struck me as something my soul needed and I didn't know it.. actually I didn't hear who was about to sing and play guitar.. Clapton was saying when I tuned in that "Steve should have been here last year and it was a bad oversight because he is a great guitar player." Well "Steve" steps up and I don't recognize him and he breaks into Dear Mr. Fantasy and froze my mind.. I like Steve Vai, Robin Ford, and Stevie Ray.. so I was dying to find out who this guy was at the end of the 2nd song Eric hollars Stevie Windwood and I was blown away.. its not just a song or a guy singing a song well.. its a complete whole "Thing" you need. D. Wilson Oooh... | Reviewer: Pooleside ------ About the song Light Up or Leave Me Alone performed by Traffic I always thought this song was about smoking things. Now I read the lyrics, I believe it's what the yanks would call "lighten" up. In other words, get happy. Which could possibly be accomplished by smoking things... really good shit | Reviewer: Frank Raniere ------ About the song (Sometimes I Feel So) Uninspired performed by Traffic The Music, the lyrics and the musicality of every member of this band makes this a MUST LISTEN TO for anyone who appreciates GREAT rock music. Done. I am 54 today, and recall when this first came out and it's still an awesome, moving rock anthem today. that old moondust | Reviewer: James Pentland ------ About the song Every Mothers Son performed by Traffic First off, thank you for printing the correct lyric on the second verse, "that old moondust," not "that opens doors," which I found on several other sites and which makes no sense ... this song and the album whence it came, "John Barleycorn Must Die," cast a lifelong spell over me anyway as an impressionable 13-year-old exploring new musical horizons. Knowing "Every Mother's Son" is an overdub fest with the ridiculously talented and young (21 or 22) Stevie Winwood, in fine voice as ever, playing guitar, bass and organ takes nothing away from the listening experience -- the way the guitar and organ mesh is pure spine-tingling enjoyment. Viva Traffic! top 10 of all time! | Reviewer: dave ------ About the song Empty Pages performed by Traffic i cant listen to this song just once, i always play it one more time! lyrics= short sweet sentimental to the point Music- the bass and drum line thru the entire song is classic jazz, horns, piano, this song hits on all cylanders. empty pages stands up thru time, i'll never get sick of it... Who Knows What Tomorrow May Bring | Reviewer: tom ------ About the song Who Knows What Tomorrow May Bring performed by Traffic Wow, what a great song and one hell of a record. If, for just one moment, you could step outside of your mind, and float across the ceiling, I don't think the folks would mind! Wasn't that what we were all trying to accomplish with grass and acid? Wasn't that part of the larger effort, to leave the old ways behind and to try to make up new ones, better ones, to create a society based on the character of each person, not how they looked or where they came from or how much money they had? Yeah, something like that...
