This band was the rock equivalent of the Beatles. Way ahead of their time. Still hugely relevant 40 years later. U2 are merely progeny in the grand rock and roll scheme of things.. There's lots of U2 stuff that is mercifully brief.

I was thinking just the same thing. Well, this song was once new, I guess.

My favorite Cream song! I think this song makes perfect sense if you remember that the musicians were children in England during WW2. Imagine the memories, memories of the horrors they may have witnessed and now seek seek to repress. This song embodies sadness to me.

As Moorcock wrote of Jerry's point of view,
"if a feeling is worth having, it's worth having profoundly."

I appreciate this as a chamber music piece. I love all the time the vocals and, I think, bass rather than cello, spend so much time in between the notes. Cool.

Not my fave Cream song by any means, but I try to appreciate all their music. Jack's writing can be "interesting."

Whether you like this song or not, it provides contrast to anything played before or after!

One of the most overrated bands ever.

A lot of their studio stuff was gawdawful.

It's more likely that this is the one they recorded when they weren't.

I think this song is brilliant and even the more so because of Jack Bruce's cello playing.

What an unusual progression! Totally cool, only the 60's could produce such strange and exotic sounds.

Jack on cello!?! grand.

Cream was never my favorite band; my best friend and I always used to argue over who was the better guitar player, with me (rightly) choosing Hendrix, and he saying "Clapton Is God."

But this tune of theirs is truly creative. Haunting it is.

Reading over the comments, I can't believe how many didn't like this song. No, it's not typical, classic Cream, but it's one of my favourites from them. They did purposely delve into the psychedelic now & then, and this is one of those times.

Check out "I Feel Free," "Dance the Night Away" and "Tales of Brave Ulysesses."


Some of my favorites too. When I watched their reunion DVD from a couple years back I enjoyed the first part (with some of the lesser known and quirky songs) much better than the last part (with all the 'hits').

Haven't heard this in ages. Wasn't sure I liked it all that much, hearing it again, but it grew on me as it went along. Not sure most would be so patient in a record store's listening booth, tho.
