Chicago - Oh, Thank You Great Spirit Lyrics






Pulling myself out of a dead sleep
With the impression of the dream still fresh in my mind
Before I'm even awake, the words, the music were complete
I woke up that mornin'
Feelin' so rested and young
My mind was clear of all the problems
That been hasslin' my head
I couldn't quite understand why
I felt so fine
I felt so free
So beyond it all
As I turned towards the bed
I understood as all came clear
As I turned towards the bed
I understood as all came clear
I saw myself lyin' there
Didn't have a care
Piece of mind was finally mine
Now free to fly
Into the blue sky
Oh great spirit
Fly away
Oh great spirit
Just fly
Fly
Oh fly away

    Such an AWESOME song, so sad Terry Kath's been gone for so many decades now, died WAY too young!

    My mind was clear of all the problems
    That been hasslin' my head

    Oh great spirit
    Just fly
    Fly
    Oh fly away

    My roommate in college introduced me to Chicago's early stuff (nearly 40 years ago, now), when all I knew were the popular radio hits. Lots of things which just blew my mind. And then I got to this cut on this album. Wow. I've seen video of Terry Kath's performances, and it is no wonder his extended play at the end of "Oh, Thank you Great Spirit" here sounds so FEROCIOUS. Because that is how the man apparently played---all the time! Far too great a talent, taken from us far too soon.

    A set of the other things which really blew my mind at the time was the Aire/Devil's Sweet/Italian from New York/ Hanky Panky string of total instrumental stuff from Chicago 7. Had no idea they'd even done stuff like that. Their extreme level of technical proficiency as a band is something difficult to appreciate from the "soft rock" popular radio hits. As is made obvious by THIS cut, these guys could really ROCK back in the day...

    By the late great Terry Hendrix, I mean Kath!

    The next time you have a thought? Let it go.
