Black Sabbath - It's Alright Lyrics

I didn't know that it was Black Sabbath's song.(A man who has listened to Guns N' Roses live era before hearing this song)

My opinion: it’s bill ward telling Ozzy it’s alright to move on to do his own thing. That he has talent outside of sabbath, to blossom, not to listen to the haters.

One of the wildest left turns a band could ever make. If it hadn't been Sabbath,this would have easily been a hit.

Hey.... guess what?? It’s alright 🔥❤️🔥

Guns roses

Una delicía y una caricía para los oidos y el corazón.

The entire album is a classic!

song makes me cry...

Love this song. Did Bill sing on any other tracks?

Yes, on Swinging the Chain from the Never Say Die! album.

If you don't understand why this is a different song by Black Sabbath, so, you understand nothing about good Music. Anyway, Best band ever. Fantasy, technic and quality.. First in all.

Stuck in my head everyday! Not complaining. Such a good , nostalgic, comforting vibe. Love your humanity Bill!!❤

2019 Brasil

I love great music whether it is heavy or gentle, electric or acoustic as long as it has soul and passion, that is what is what's most important!

Their best album all and all, and specially Bill Ward singing this brings new spirit in most positive manner.

Inside of you

well, i'm fillin' up.

This song is a snoozer.

Beatles Sabbath

It could be a song of elton jhon
Amazing song

Always makes me happy falling back into this album❤️ love you Black Sabbath!! You’ve been there since I was 12

The Beatles were actually Ozzy's inspiration, I think of this as his homage.

But Bill Ward is the writer and the singer of this song.

@suikogarden then it's pretty much more of the fact that Ringo is one of Ward's influences.

Amazing

If I was to tell a christian person this is Black Sabbath their head would implode

because its alright

The Beatles vibes.

Anybody have a true idea or a fact of what these lyrics means? Everybody are like oh what a good song, i love it and quoting some line and this and that but nobody talk abou the meaning of the song if anybody have a clue i'd appreciate it. Its a great song by the way just wanna close the circle.

I think it is about forgiveness.

awful song from awful album

Happy Birthday today(March 5) to Bill Ward. Cheers!

Axl Rose brought me here.

Lol...me too

Same here

Came here from listening to GNR's Live Era 87-93 album. It came out 20 years ago today! Had no idea this was a Black Sabbath song

Gregory Fornstrom that’s really cool! Fun fact was when I was graduating 5th grade a few years ago (I’m 14 now) and I had asked my grandparents to buy me it on CD. So it turns out I got a record player for my couple records I had and a new CD. Man, I’m telling you that summer was the best

Its kind of a funny story

Everyone needs to know about this song

내가생각하는 사바스의 최고 명곡

This and changes make me cry I love them both. I want its alright played at my funeral

impresionante cancion de un black sabbath cien por ciento metal

Ozzy might've been the lead singer, but DAMN, Bill Ward possesses a good voice

Outstanding !

Underrated song

Black Sabbath go ELO!!!

El que canta es el baterista de Sabbath, canta como si fuera integrante de The Beatles 😂
Que viva el Rock N’ Roll 🤘🏻

Bill is great

Great song.

It's just NOT Sabbath without Bill.

This is bill singing lol

This song shocked me first time I heard it, I was like what the hell is this, but over time the whole album really grew on me and I like it as much as the other Sabbath albums

It probably shocked you because youre a maggot ass metalhead piece of fucking shit

Versão Axl Rose ficou melhor hehehhe

yeah I play this out my car window, heads turn

It is me or does it have Beatles influence behind such masterpiece?

@David Partridge I thought so,too.

Of course..to be fair though, almost everything you've heard since the Beatles, bears some semblance.

@One Man 1970 Even norwegian black metal? Or french house?

@Heavy Metal Nerd No..that's why it says "almost".

@One Man 1970 Yeah, was just joking.😄

Awesome.

WHAT ! this is black sabbath? GREAT SONG!

Technical Ecstasy is the seventh studio album by English rock band Black Sabbath, produced by guitarist Tony Iommi and released in September 1976. The album was certified Gold on 19 June 1997[ and peaked at number 51 on the Billboard 200 Album chart.

After frustrating legal battles that accompanied the recording of 1975's Sabotage, Sabbath chose Miami's Criteria Studios for the making of Technical Ecstasy, which continued the band's separation from the doom and darkness that had been a trademark of their earlier albums. "Some people may have heard the band in 1970," noted Iommi, "and be thinking, 'Oh no, not them again!' But if they heard us now, they probably might like us."[4]

In the July 2001 issue of Guitar World, Dan Epstein wrote, "The sessions proved extremely relaxing for everyone except Iommi, who was left to oversee the production while the others sunned themselves on the beach." Iommi explained to the same magazine in 1992, "We recorded the album in Miami, and nobody would take responsibility for the production. No one wanted to bring in an outside person for help, and no one wanted the whole band to produce it. So they left it all to me!"

In the liner notes to the band's 1998 live album Reunion, Phil Alexander writes that, while the band struggled to finish the album, "rock had spawned a new set of iconoclasts as the Sex Pistols, the Clash and the Damned… Suddenly Sabbath found themselves both unsure of their musical direction and labeled as has-beens." "It's not like now: If you're a heavy metal band, you put out a heavy metal album," Butler explained to Uncut in 2014. "Back then, you had to at least try to be modern and keep up. Punk was massive then and we felt that our time had come and gone."

To make matters worse for the band, manager Don Arden began spending more of his time focusing on another of his acts, ELO, whose 1975 album Face The Music was their first to make the US top ten. Iommi's determination to move Sabbath in a new direction was misguided according to some, with Mick Wall noting in the 2013 book Black Sabbath: Symptom of the Universe that while future soft rock million-sellers Hotel California and Rumours were just around the corner, "to try and force that sound on Black Sabbath was like trying to put lamb's wool on a suit of armour. It just didn't work, pleasing nobody."

In his autobiography I Am Ozzy, vocalist Ozzy Osbourne admitted he had begun to consider leaving the band during this time: "I'd even had a T-shirt made with 'Blizzard of Ozz' written on the front. Meanwhile, in the studio, Tony (Iommi) was always saying, 'We've gotta sound like Foreigner', or 'We've gotta sound like Queen.' But I thought it was strange that the bands we'd once influenced were now influencing us." Osbourne also wrote that the cost of recording in Florida "was astronomical" and that he'd "lost the plot with the booze and the drugs" during the recording of Technical Ecstasy, eventually checking himself into the Stafford County Asylum on his return to England.

"That was the beginning of the end, that one", bassist Geezer Butler confessed to Guitar World in 2001. "We were managing ourselves because we couldn't trust anybody. Everybody was trying to rip us off, including the lawyers we'd hired to get us out of our legal mess. It was really just getting to us around then, and we didn't know what we were doing. And obviously, the music was suffering; you could just feel the whole thing falling apart." Osbourne briefly left following the Technical Ecstasy Tour – and, although he would eventually return for the follow-up Never Say Die!, the band temporarily replaced him with former Savoy Brown vocalist Dave Walker. The band wrote a handful of songs with Walker, and performed an early version of what would become "Junior's Eyes" on the BBC programme Look Hear with him.

While the band were recording the album, The Eagles were recording Hotel California in an adjacent studio at Criteria Studios in Miami. "Before we could start recording we had to scrape all the cocaine out of the mixing board," Geezer divulged to Uncut in 2014. "I think they'd left about a pound of cocaine in the board." The Eagles were forced to stop recording on numerous occasions because Sabbath were too loud and the sound was coming through the wall.[5]

Bill Ward!

One of the most beautiful songs , one of the most lovely lyrics ever wrote. This music makes me feel good and cool . Listening to this song , surely makes my day better. Thank you for that Black sabbath.

I really love this album! my favorite after Heaven and Hell...

Sounds like the Beatles song 😂😂😂😂😂

heartbeat on the drum

Trump 2020- The right loves sabbath too

You must sing this as "it's alt-right"

It's kind of a funny story 😍

Told you once about your friends and neighbours
They were always seeking but they'll never find it
It's alright, yes it's alright

Where to go and where to see
It's always been that way and it can never be

It's alright, yes it's alright

Give it all and ask for no return
And very soon you'll see and you'll begin to learn
That it's alright, yes it's alright

It's alright, it's alright

Don't you know that it's so good for you?
You can be making love and see it all go through
But it's alright, yes, it's alright

So I told you once about your friends and neighbours
They were always seeking but they'll never find it
It's alright, yes it's alright

Told you once about your friends and neighbours
They were always seeking but they'll never find it
It's alright, yes it's alright

Where to go and where to see
It's always been that way and it can never be
It's alright, yes it's alright

Give it all and ask for no return
And very soon you'll see and you'll begin to learn
That's it's alright, yes it's alright

Don't you know that it's so good for you
You can be making love and see it all go through
But it's alright, yes it's alright

I've always thought that the lyrics tell that the guy is hiding his dead girlfriend's body.

Superb...!!!

give it all and ask for no return
and very soon you'll see
and you'll begin to learn
that it's alright, yeah, it's alright

Damn right Bonnie!

Bonnie Laxton Strong Correct Words

Great song great band !!!!!

I read the name of this song on Sabbath's Facebook page. Thought "wait I don't remember this song, I will check it out on YouTube"

I'm amazed

this song KICKS ASS. HAILZ to bill ward

Underrated song, one of the most underrated albums in my humble oppinion

Few Sabbath fans know it's Drummer Bill Ward doing the vocals for this tune.

Never met anyone that didn't know he was singing it actually.

Few Sabbath fans know this song at all, It feels like. Greatly underrated.

The most bizarre SB song ever,btw,it looks like a beatles song singed by Ringo :T (Sorry for my bad english)

The song was sung (not "singed"), by Bill Ward, the original drummer of Sabbath. 😀

I love Metal. I LOVE Sabbath, and I still adore this song. It has such a beautiful chord structure, melody, and sentiment. Nobody would have ever guessed this was a Sabbath song, if they were just a casual listener of Black Sabbath. That is why Tony shoe-horned in his lead @1:38 I think it kinda takes you out of the song, while reminding you that you are still listening to Black Sabbath, the most feared band this side of Alice Cooper, for parents raising teenagers in the 70's. Make no mistake, Tony Iommi is the leader of this band. Even Ozzy will tell you how Tony would constantly pick on, torture and bully the Oz man during his tenure with Sabbath. It is just my opinion, but the lead to this song seems to be ham-fistedly edited in to an otherwise sublime piece of music written and performed by the incredibly talented Bill Ward. I believe that Tony Iommi just HAD to make his presence known with a guitar lead that has the Black Sabbath stamp all over it. They are, arguably the greatest Heavy Metal band in the world, and it is still one of my favorite tracks, but I wonder how the song might have been handled if it were a stand alone version of Bill Ward's vision of the song.

GNR brought me here.

What a shame.

Chip chip tally ho me too!

John Burns me to

yeah they do a better version tbh

Awesome soothing song. Give it all and ask for no return! words to live by.Great job Bill. Happy Thanksgiving everyone

great tune well done Bill

Maybe the most atypical song they ever created. I used to wonder,way back in 76,when I was but 14,why this did not chart and chart big.

Man. What a mystery for this to appear on a Sabbath album. I mean, it's good but wow.

Brasil 🇧🇷

aguante bill

the best of the best SONG

that's right .ooh see!!

Love the guitar at approx. 1min 40 secs. :-)

One of my fav songs of all time.Bill Ward is a killer singer.

One of the best Sabbath ever....most definitely the best of the slowest

the drums are better than usual, in this song.

Had this song (heck, the whole Technical Ecstasy album) been released by a non-metal band it would've been hailed as a classic. The only reason why this song is so hated on is because it was released by the kings of metal. Yes, it sounds nothing like what Black Sabbath were known for, but it's still amazing so who cares?

Deka7X9 it's a good fucking song..an you're absolutely right.

Deka7X9 Absolutely Correct

Exactly how i think it is

To be honest, everyone I know, loves it!!!

As far as I'm aware everyone loves this song. The rest of the album people hated.

I LOVE THIS SONG..... I heard it from the movie " its kind of a funny story"

very simply, a fantastic song!

I discover this song today what a great song holy smokes

Clubfuckingfooted 30 I discovered that you discovered this song today holy smokes where of you been just glad you’re here now

Anyone notice the guitar solo is based a little on Am I Going Insane?

legends.....they set the mark for every other band....best band on the planet....

That is Sabbath 3 years after Master of reality... No wonder I never heard 'bout this LP, or was it the UK entry for Eurovision??

19franken95 Master Of Reality was released in 71', obviously this in 76'.
As you know, the first three Sabbath albums were released practically back to back.

last sabbath disc i bought

I remember the first time I heard this, way back in high school, and I thought, "the heck? this cannot be sabbath." Great song. Just such a radical departure for them. :)

Listen to "The Rebel" it's one of their songs before they became the Sabbath we know today.

Not really.

Bill,Bill,Bill

my neighbors suck! i still smile and give...........its alright man! i just hope the great spirit gives me a smile when i die..........id like to think i was part of the solution during my time on this rock, man why humans dont embrace the gifts we were given just astonishes me.

Give it all and ask for no return and soon you'll see it's alright

Los beatles del heavy metal!

Christian CARP don't ever insult sabbath like that again

No podes comparar, Black Sabbath los tira a la mierda a los Beatles!!

PD: Aguante el Millonario :)

calm down solid

bill should be on this last tour, and this song should be played

I'd have cried my heart off

Bill Ward is a real Black Sabbath Mastermind - I love him!

No one lives forever and drummers typically do not last as long as other members in bands that go on and on.

Its just not right to not include the Greatest drummer of All-Time! Yeah i said it. Damnit ozzy quit being stubborn and juvenile, that's your old mate Bill remember?! He's sober and in shape so what's the excuse now?!

@Hana it's not Ozzy's fault. Bill says he was not presented a contract that he felt he could sign, (not enough money, I guess) which is probably a Sharon thing
