Cream - Dance The Night Away Lyrics

These 3 were killer!! Ginger is driving the bus here...yee-haw!!

czy lepiej posłuchać Cream czy walnąć dobrą minetę z creamem

The Cream always rises to the top; SUBLIME!

RIP Jack & Ginger.

All Cream was magnificent, but this was their greatest of all. I still get chills listening to it.

Escuchaba Disraely Gears en 1971. Tenía 12 años y estaba enamorado de Graciela Pozzo. Y cuando escuchaba esta canción la veía a ella bailando entre los árboles de un bosque nórdico, con un vestido blanco muy largo, que envolvía sus piernas. La luz era tenue, como de un día nublado ¡¡¡Y hoy me sigue pasando lo mismo!!!! Gracias Jack, Ginger (donde quiera que estén) y Eric. Saludos desde Argentina (sorry, no hablo inglés)

Cream was the best. Shredders are the worst.

The great Ginger Baker made this song. Amazing rhythms.

Great tribute to the 66/67 Byrds. Brilliant bass-playing,drumming and the 12-strings are sublime.....

How exciting it was being a little kid in the 60s and growing up with this kind of music coming out all the time, brand new and so intensely good.

CREAMDANCETHENIGHTAWAY

This and Deserted Cities of the Heart are 2 of the criminally under rated, best Cream songs of era.

Great cymbal work and drumming by the late Ginger Baker. RIP

Como me llega al pincho la publicidad en Youtube; series de mierda!!!

Extraordinary track! RIP 2/3’s of Cream.

One of my favorite songs of this short-lived but excellent group. Ginger Baker, who is rumbling nicely here, just passed away.

RIP Ginger Baker
(August 19 1939 - october 6 2019)

Dance myself to nothing
Vanish from this place 👌🎶💗

einer der größten Songs aus der Zeit

An underrated tune from one of the greatest rock records of all time. Lives on with me and the boys forever!!

I just read Ginger Baker is in critical condition. He needs our prayers. I love that cantankerous tough guy. What a drummer and Pioneer...TJ S

Delightfully understated lead from Clapton.

Uma das mais belas canções populares de sempre

Great Fucking album! Thanks

Fascinating production. Unusual sounds and arrangement. The work of Felix?

Gears was the bomb

R.E.M. used the opening riff on Man on the Moon.

Those 27 people were born without a sense of taste- or better yet, they probably like country egad. Like I said - NO TASTE. This is the second greatest songs ever done- Sunshine of your love was the greatest song there will ever be- EVER.

what's wrong with country?

Easily in my favorite songs of all time. Which I think is a long list

Man the chords... Pure magic... Clapton is legend

Wow. That was pretty fucking good! Harmonies, chord changes, fuck fuck.

Eric Clapton just took it one step further when going on to Cream after John Mayall's Blues Breakers did he not? I have both bands in my collection and love the sweet taste of early Clapton! Mmm mmm!

26 people that need to stand together on a football field...coordinates...TBA...

Early Screaming Trees is very reminiscent of this sound. Pretty obvious those guys were listening to Cream.

Hail the Cream. The saviors of my sanity when I was in VietNam

From a old flower child ....ty 4 serving

Hi Jimmy . Have you read Chickenhawk by Robert Mason . To quote
John Del Vecchio " the best book to come out of Vietnam " .

The ads are killing me tho

A great work of psychedelia!

Some music is just so far superior....

Best band of all time and their greatest song in my opinion.

I have a friend who is into gangsta rap & music of that nature, he heard this for the first time and he said that his soul left his body, that it was that good. I told him that he has no idea, that that was just the tip of the a MASSIVE iceberg called Cream!!!

IMO>>>This is Cream's greatest album>>>WOW,  Does it take me back to ,my younger years>>>1967>>>I was 16>>>!!!!!!!

Clapton was 22yo when they recorded this song. That's why he's considered a guitar god.

Breautiful

The Brilliant Colours! Amazing Jack and Ginger at 120 Proof!

Sublime harmonies

In 7th grade we had a really cool teacher, Miss Ross. She asked if anyone would bring 3 albums to class for ll to hear, this was one of the 3 I brought. The looks of my classmates told me they weren't into the same music as I was. Hopefully they caught on later to some of the best music from that era.....

Great isn't it ? To have a teacher like a Miss Ross to encourage us not only to reach for the next rung up the ladder but accept ourselves in the process

In a class by itself, hauntingly unique

sounds like Blind Faith could have done this.

One of the best songs on the album.

Another Fan of the Captain!

The Blimp Frank it's The Blimp!

anagram from:
DANCING THE NIGHT AWAY - CREAM
Gonna build myself a castle
High up in the clouds
There'll be skies outside my window
Lose these streets and crowds

Dance the Night Away, What a song!. This song has a very good anagram in it about the Middle Christ Prince Madog' ap Owain Gwynedd's pilgrimage inn motte and bailey timber castlee at Pelican Pointe where is is entombed. Check out Pelican Pointe Road Last Mountain Lake Sask Canada and use 2003 year images as Eric used this Astrolabe map for Layla as it transposes over to the Persian gulf and the one circle below the Astrolabe man's foot is by Layla, the other circle is Medina. Jimmy Page used it for 'Zoso'. Parts of the Book of Revelation were written at Madog's Hill by Jesus Christ in 62AD after the Iceni were defeated as Jesus lost his tek tone's guilds lands along the River Tone by Tewktin[Taunton], both names came from tek tone who were global metal traders, artisan, smelters who needed England's tin for making bronze mixed in with copper. Elihana Elia had it's anagram on her facebook along with Lovin' Spoonful's Nashville Cats anagram about her. from when she was recently recording in Memphis. I was reincarnated from Madog and Eris was reincarnated from his brother Cynwrig . We called him 'sign' and we were Culdee Monks and Madog fought in several major battles at the Falls of the Ohio and Eyebrow Hills by Brownlee- Eyebrow Sask. We were Abbot kings and Eric's kingdom was the Dog Head straight west of Stonehenge in an area called Valhalla. The area was originally under the control of the ancient copper miners of western Lake Superior from the Middle East, since before 5500BC or 7500 years ago. Genetic tests of the natives show they have the same acoomon ancestors as King David & Jesus Christ. Dog Heasd-Big Arm use year 2003 on google earth imagesRevelation = Elia V Tenor=Vote Riel NA, North America= Arm A Nice Thor, Thor Ram Nicea= A Man Eric Thor = A Thor In Cream. Clapton=Top Clan=Plant Co =Pot Clan Hebrew =We Herb=Her Web. At the end of the Book of Revelation in Rev22:15 you will see Dogs at the Gates to the City or Heaven which is the very ancient Dog Head at Big Arm-Last Mountain Lake's Stairway to Heaven -Jacob's Ladder where the World Court ruled the bible starts and ends. Rev 22:16 David of the Bright Morning Star is me Eric's half brother and Rev22:17 Bride of the Book of Revelation is Elihana Elia an Israeli Singer born in Orlando Florida and we inherited the Crown of England Chancery. She was born my legal wife and Eric's sister in law. We are in many older hymn's and God Save the Queen etc. in anagram codes usually in the first two lines of the lyrics and sometimes the writer uses the title. Eric's clan simply carried on. She was just '17' you know what I mean, Beatles Dancing Queen -ABBA who was '17' Eric's Pilgrim cover My Father's Eyes, is linked to, Tears in Heaven is linked to the Valahalla Dog Head as is Immigrant Song. Eric Reptile is the Rev12 Serpent Dragon located straight north of the Dog Head at Dellwood Reservoir Dam. So we are now in Hebrew year 5779 'EGGI' A =1 in our alphabet, Egg Plant Cream cover or I am a Walrus 'Eggman' and egg is in Doing that Scrapyrad Thing along with Zeppelin at the end of my nose. Led Zep has a poster image along with Mothership with a red colored outline of Saskatchewan with the nose pointing to Edmonton, now flip it the other way, and it point's to Iceland where Eric caught a big fish on King David's Psalm 104 Layline weitten into Layla Stairway to Heaven = He At Norway, It Save, He is our father Odin that lives in a city inside a mountain range in Vesteralem Norway, King David = Viking Dad, Dave Duane Boyce-Dad= Boyce Avenue from Miami Florida where the angel Elihana Elia lived as a little girl, what a fantastic singer she is!

What.......de...........fuk?

Record Company: "Can't you give us a dance song like everyone else?" Cream: "A dance song... hmmm..."

And how do two jazz guys hook up with a blues guitarist to create this???

Total creativity!!! And I can dance to it!!!

It's Psychedelia quintessential - way tripped out mood. Always reminds of San Francisco 68'

HI, I'm Eric's half brother and the legal Second Christ and I and the Israeli Gospel singer Elihana Elia born 8 31 1995 Orlando Florida, inherited the Crown of England Chancery, held in trust by the Grand Lodge of London. So Cream used the title and Cream and first verse. The Top Clan placed anagram codes usually in the first verse. I was reincarnated from Prince Madog ap Owain Gwynedd and Eric was my brother Cynwrig. So is you go on 2003 images Google Earth to the Dog Head- Big Arm Last Mountain Lake which is straight east of Stonehenge, Eric was a Culdee abbot-king and lived there at the Dog Head- Stairway to Heaven and this was also called Valhalla. So at Pelican Pointe Road, again 2003 images, you will see the astrolabe man Ark of the Covenant map [Jimmy Page Zoso] where Messianic Jerusalem will be built to complete the Book of Revelation and Madog had a monastery there and they had the original Ark of the Covenant brought there by Prophet Jeremiah along with Irish Sea Bardic pilgrims. So St. Lawrence O'Toole Dublin Bishop gave us Culdee a massive fortune on Lent which was hidden under CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL LED ZEP IMMIGRANT SONG 'WE COME FROM THE LAND=HE MADOC, WE FROM LENT' ROBERT PLANT WAS IDWAL OF WINNIPEG AND JIMMY WAS ROTBERT, WAS FROM BEND OF THE MISSOURI, OUR BROTHERS. I AND ELIHANA ARE IN MANY SONGS THAT HAVE BILLIONS OF HITS ON THE INTERNET WHICH I PLACE AS COMMENTS UNDER HER VIDEOS.

TO BROTHER ERIC, OUR FATHER ODIN RECOVERED ALL THE TREASURE ON MAY 17 2018AD AND THE ARK OF THE COVENANT FROM THE SUNKEN SHIPS. GOD BLESS YOU ERIC AND YOUR TOP CLAN

Gonna build myself a castle
High up in the clouds
There'll be skies outside my window
Lose these streets and crowds

Dance the night away

Will find myself an ocean
Sail into the blue
Live with golden swordfish
Forget the time of you

Dance the night away

Dance myself to nothing
Vanish from this place
Gonna turn myself to shadow
So I can see your face

Dance the night away

Pure genius.

Love this since day 1

God damn this is a good song. It’ll take a century or more before people at large understand what was done here.

This song has a sooth guitar sound to it

Those drums.

Dark and beautiful mind blowing

Close my eyes and I'm back in 1968 and the whole psychedelic era tripping out on this awesome music and era again. Fantastic! transcendant..

Eric Jack and Ginger .... a better trio than Rush .. ..... well almost /

Moe Larry & Curly are a better trio than rush

Cream set everything on a trajectory that made it possible for Rush to emulate...in their way

Such a soul-grabbing, haunting tune...beautiful!!

Anyone who knows how he gets that guitar tone? It isn’t just fuzz or cranked amp. It sounds very treble so not woman tone either. I can kinda get that tone with wah i toe position?

As stated above, he used a Fender 12 for the soloing on this.

can't get it without a bell like 12 string.

Ya, Ginger Baker, Eric Clapton, but the songwriting of Jack Bruce is peerless. Especially the first 2 album's.... outstanding.

Clapton playing a fender 12 string 😊

This is Clapton doing, as he did so many wonderful times, what Jimi did a bit more often, which is no dis of Eric; rather, I mean it as a compliment. Who among us has done, musically; even once, what Jimi did often? What wonderful musical genius did Eric give us in this song? The wah-wah from heaven; that’s what! Which is to say, that Eric’s playing was often as if God Himself, was playing guitar. We got a first solid taste of that in Hideaway (no wonder Jimi wanted to meet Eric). Eric likely got a first taste of that from Freddie King.
The elite club of heavenly output guitar heroes also includes no less than the likes of Jeff Beck, Van Halen, Stevie Ray, Billy Gibbons, Joe Walsh, and such likewise awesome ax-men (being a killer list that must include your own top three favs), and Jimi, and God (who, arguably, created it all; with a little help from his friends; namely, those awesome artists, and you and me, and all fans). We can’t leave out the genius engineers and produces that were part of the miracle! Thanks Eric! You made the most of what God gave you, and as a result, we all are all blessed with your perfect music (as deemed by us, your fans, via our personal perfect tastes).

This isn't Van Halen...

Its better, its the Cream of the crop

No this is Patrick

@World's Forgotten Boy lol Indeed-Eric Patrick Clapton !

Probably my favorite cream song

Nothing in the world can compete with SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE being the greatest song that ever has been done- or ever will be done.

It's power I think is derived from it's going against type

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

What a blast

Ginger shows that awesome drumming doesn't have to be super fast or hyper-complicated, it just has to feel 'right'. Love Eric's ethereal guitar sound.....give some credit to the sound engineer, too.

Tom Dowd engineered at Atlantic Studios in NYC, album was done in 3.5 days

@Donal Callum thats what you call pure magic.

I know It's a little strange to analyze a song I've been listening to for 50 years... but listening to this I remembered reading a report about Musical Psychedelic Trance..harmonic components of which are able to transport the listener into a state of euphoria. Not unlike "8 Miles high" and "Chestnut Mare" there are motions and gestures where you are almost feeling out of your body.. it is such an accomplishment that these wonderful musicians were able to effect so many music lovers in this way.

Very interesting observation, and I totally agree!

Yes this is A Byrd tribute, Cream admired them highly.

jack bruce had said this was their tribute to the byrds

Cream's nod to the Byrds' style of 8 Miles High. Yet another production gem by Felix Pappalardi; speeded up guitars and all.....have you ever heard a cooler ending to a Rock tune?

No speeded up guitars on this song

This is possibly the most underrated psychedelic rock song of all time! The synergy between the base the guitar and the drums is so powerful it sends chills up my spine!
Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce(Bass), and Ginger Baker(Drums)! Baker carries the band! But the band together is transcendental man!

Eric used a Twelve string on it.

He was influenced by what the Byrds were doing at the time.

@Garret Fitzgerald Eight Miles High maybe???????

Underrated by whom?

Possibly, though there are so many underappreciated songs from the psychedelic era that trying to boil it down to one is pretty much a fool's errand. Try "Coming Down" by the band United States of America, to name but one of many.

This song transcends worldly music. It comes from interstellar space.

Byrds-y cool...

Did this song make it to any compilation albums?

ROCK on

My song

So unusual. Double falsetto. Unique.

I had never thought of it in that way before . Jack used falsetto quite
a lot on this album , but Clapton had a high voice in those
days anyway , so he only had to go up an octave to harmonise with
Jack's voice . I listened to this song for so many years . I always
focused on the 12 string guitar and Jack's voice , but Eric comes
through as well . Pete Brown's lyrics are haunting .

I can hear the talent, and the greatness in these songs to a certain extent. But they would mean more, and resonate with me more, had I been born in 1956 instead of '66. The times and the sounds don't quite mean as much to me, so I can only enjoy what I think is good. I can still hear a "dated" quality in this era, even with this great band. Does that make sense? I am not saying this doesn't sound good, because it does. It just doesn't quite nail it for me in my experiences. Doesn't quite make me get as excited as a song from when I was 15 would (like Tom Sawyer or Red Barchetta or You Better You Bet or Any Way You Want it) simply because there is no backdrop to it. I guess that explains my connection to music. Having said all of that LOL.....Cream sounds awesome to me. And I can get into it somewhat.

1955 birth for me. Yeah, the recording engineering is crude. But a great piece anyway. SO unusual.

Hey Sweetie, don't worry about your age so much. This song is very real to connect with. If you feel it in your gut, it's real. I first heard Disraeli Gears in 1970 when I was 13, but it moves me more now than it did then. Some things are timeless.

Shit I was born in 1981, and I love this band. I grew up listening to Alice in Chains, Metallica, and Korn, but I still think a lot of 60s-70s stuff kicks ass, stuff like Cream, Sabbath, Hendrix, Zeppelin, Genesis, Floyd, Tull, Yes.... I also think Bach kicks ass, and he's from the 1700s. You're right, I don't feel any sort of nostalgia when I hear any of this stuff, but maybe I will 20 years from now.

RIP Jack

Play those high notes Eric.

Best drum work ever on a rock song...Ginger was from some other world on this song

Ginger's work on "Those Were The Days" ("Wheels of Fire") is also very interesting!

@Sluff Adlin Emerson, Lake and Palmer also had classical background, jazz as well. Keith Emerson was a composer written with the orchestra in mind Carl Palmer as well. Greg Lake was heavily into folk and classical. They were far from being "rock and roll" but they were stuck with the same thing as Cream, being referred to as a rock and roll band.

@eisenhertz Jazz guy that could Rock!

@Sluff Adlin Back in the day just about anything could be called rock. We didn't have the "genre" bullshit. Cream was one of the very top rock bands. Not rock? Get real.

@mike Marino @ could any other way have soaked into your dna

If Cream and the Doors got together...

Two of my favorite bands

Cream didn’t need the Doors- nor did The Doors need Cream.

THE WORLD WOULD EXPLODE IN GROOVY

Influenced by Buffalo Springfield too

@@Karen Redd forget the rhythm section.How about just Morrison....and Hendrix.

this song accompanies me since 46 years. Its amazing, a picture, a story, a feeling. Something that goes straight into your soul. Its great to know that people all around the world feel in a similar way. As fair minded musicians said...music has no boundaries, no religion, no rules...its uneversial...keeps us all together, please dont forget that...thanks

Dicedude I totally agree with you!! I'm 65 as well, and have loved this song since it came out. It seems as I get older, I love it even more & appreciate it.🎶🎶

harry haller I agree with you!! It does go straight into your soul, I've always loved this one🎶💓🎶

EXACTLY!!

On the cream record Sunshine of Your Love was first in the underrated dance the night away was the second song kind of got forgotten I'm glad everyone digs it

THE BEST ALBUM FROM CREAM

perrimeno I think that talking objectively this is the best album from Cream

You got that right.

maybe best song from maybe best album by cream

THE BEST ALBUM OF ANYONE— AT ALL. No one else was even in the same world as they were. They taught the meaning of music- ALL ALONE.
