Faces, The - I'd Rather Go Blind Lyrics






Something told me it was over
When I saw you and him talking
Something deep down in my soul said, cry boy
When I saw you and him out walking
I would rather, I would rather go blind girl
Than to see you walk away from me child

So you see I love you so much
I don't want to see you leave me baby
Most of all I just don't, I just don't want to be free
I was just, I was just sitting here thinking
Of your kiss and your warm embrace child
When the reflection in the glass
That I been held to my lips now baby
Revealed the tears I had on my face
I would rather, I would rather be blind child
Than to see you walk away from me
Baby, baby, baby I would rather go blind
Than to see you walk away from me

    Funny, 4:10... Exit Stage Left.

    0:12. That's selfconfidence ;-)

    Sorry Etta but this version kills! 🌹

  7. R.... B....

    One of my absolute favourite live performances

  8. T.... I....

    お、てっちゃんおるやんけ。74年って、ロッドの嫌がらせで就労ビザ(音楽ユニオン)抹消された、って話があったね。

  11. l.... v....

    Thought no one could touch Etta's version but this comes close.

  12. M.... K....

    Just enough. Blow

  13. A.... W....

    My God this is amazing.

  14. R.... W....

    Just love to see when famous musicians interack with the people out there , let's you know there just people also way cool .love the music grew up on it 👍

  15. G.... J....

    Wow,this song with pure ass lead vocals dialed in perfectly in tune and lead guitars times two,the keyboard sounds and that ass kicking drum display, wants my ears to hear this legendary group called the FACES to repeat this again and ROCK again LIVE for the Rockin Roll timed for the AGES!!

  16. J.... L....

    This Strato is his prefer guitar. He still use it with the Stones.

  17. r.... m....

    What the F happened to music ????
    Compare todays crapola to the soul, musicianship and talent of these guys and the musicians of the 60s and 70s and its really amazing how far we have fallen!

  18. m.... ....

    Ronnie Wood is one of the greatest guitarists in R&R, and anyone who disagrees can bite me.

  19. D.... O....

    When I see a video with "Keef" Richards, I click 😚

  20. J.... S....

    Rod was on a whole different level from very other Brit frontman in the 70's.

  21. J.... M....

    Great bands from that era. These guys are the reason this music will always be loved. 1960s-1980s

  22. p.... m....

    Kool Keith

  23. S.... K....

    I saw them live many times, one of the tightest bands ever, I think they were better than the Stones.

    S.... K....

    Oh please.

  24. A.... T....

    I heard a long time ago that Rod Stewart used to practice singing lying down with bricks on his chest and screaming at the top of his lungs. Seems reasonable to me. I wouldn’t have liked to be his neighbor, but it beats sitting in a cubicle, punching buttons and taking eighty phone calls a day for useless shit. Thank you, I’ll take the cute young girls with lines of cocaine across there budding breasts and people screaming my name while earning millions of dollars. What’s not to like? Hey, some of these guys actually lived through it and have estates like fucking kings. Celebrity worship? Jealousy? No. Just kind of wishing I had more young beautiful sluts and more cash to burn while traveling the world and eating the best food on earth while being popular throughout the world. I’m kidding. It’s a joke. I did that already and it still didn’t make me happy, but thanks anyway Katie, Melissa, Kirin, Ronia, Carrie, Lisa and what’s her name? I probably have children I don’t know. They clean the yacht and who knows. My dick and my bank account is all that matters. Oh, did she fall overboard, how dreadful. It will take me minutes to find a new slim young slut.
    Welcome to the real world of rock stars.

  25. J.... M....

    KILBURN STATE CINEMA I WAS THERE MET KEITH RONNIE STILL GOT The photos taken with ronnie Keith

  26. C.... C....

    Ronnie did the 75 tour with the Stones and was declared a full Rolling Stone either near the end or just following that tour. I'm guessing this is where Keith realized that Ronnie was indeed "the one". I also love Rod, he's a fantastic singer.

  27. M.... D....

    never mess with the stones!

  28. D.... L....

    Rod dress sense has definitely improved over the years🖕

  29. V.... M....

    Spanish moon is laughing at you

  30. C.... R....

    if this doesn't prove how horrible today's music is nothing will

  31. j.... f....

    Didn't that oriental bass player do gigs with Free?

  32. d.... ....

    Very, very enjoyable. Also nice to hear how much Rod's singing and phrasing reminds of Steve Marriott.

  33. M.... C....

    Ronnie and Keith are the two best guitarist, ever. period! Were then, are now. Ronnie Is a genius player, Keith is a the Wizard! magical.

  34. R.... K....

    i am just in some sort of heaven listening to these beautiful men...they knew how to dress and how brilliant they are with the music.....love, love, love...glad i was young in the 6o's......

  35. A.... S....

    Awfull Rodders, Christine McVie, Chicken Shack version unbelievable.

  36. e.... w....

    Nice and Easy, just like Rod said. This performance, given its time and place, begs the question "should Keith have joined The Faces?" Instead of Ronnie going to the Stones

  37. P.... G....

    Great stuff blues and soul nice hammond

  38. T.... M....

    The best version of this song ever ! Without a doubt ! The Faces where an amazing band, plus Kieth Richards playing and the unforgettable soulful voice of Rod the mod Stewart singing with so much passion and feeling...

  39. m.... ....

    Amazing.....

  40. g.... c....

    its great to see real music once again..........

  41. O.... O....

    Woody's off the chart on this one!

  42. M.... W....

    My jam... ma music

  43. J.... K....

    Not Keith Richards, Ron wood and Rod Stewart, what a treat.

  44. N.... B....

    Young bands of today can’t come close to perfection like this no matter how hard they try

  45. M.... W....

    I just said a few minutes ago I am not a big fan of Rod Stewart, but when he is on he is truly on. I love this song a lot, and I don't think Etta James would have had issue with this rendition.

  46. F.... Z....

    When I grow up, I want to be RONNIE MOTHERFUCKING WOOD!!!! Not the best, not the greatest, but he has the most brilliant guitar moments ever!!!

  47. z.... ....

    Rod couldn’t half be a shite dresser.

    z.... ....

    zondaintheair The late great Ronnie Lane once quipped ‘I knew it was time to leave the band when Rod started buying clothes from Miss Selfridge’ so you’re definitely not alone in thinking that! Lol

  48. E.... B....

    Nice outfit Rod

  49. A.... P....

    To this day in 2019, still my favorite Faces song with Rod & Ron.

  50. M.... P....

    Terrible performance. To much cocaine. To many egos

  51. T.... W....

    THE Jr sounds fucking amaze balls

  52. T.... W....

    RONNIE MFKN WOOD

  53. J.... B....

    Which one was playing out of key?

    J.... B....

    No one was out of key here I think it must be you mate

    J.... B....

    @Tony Wilson That first note was so bad that Rod Stewart turned around like he was about to say WTF? I am not talking about the whole soloing - just a few notes in the beginning. I love both those guitarists - so I am not a hater. But, someone hit a clunker - do you even play?

  54. I.... K....

    Wow - a really nice guitar duet (not duel) by Keith and Ronnie at the end. It looks improvised, and it works magically!

  55. J.... M....

    Ronnie woods not keith richards

  56. K.... W....

    Ronnie Wood is a star in his own right. He and Keith work sooo well together. Maybe they should get together in the same band one day.

    K.... W....

    Keith Watford Maybe Ron could join the Stones!?

  57. R.... D....

    Absolutely brilliant, I can't believe how long ago it was and I can still 'feel' it.

    R.... D....

    I grew up with 3 elder siblings & was exposed to loads of different stuff . But the ones that gave me youthful goosebumps were The Stones & The Faces . When Rod Stewart sounds this good I forgive him some ' wardrobe ' disasters ! Ronnie Wood too . Fantastic band !

  58. c.... ....

    Who's that other dark haired guitarist. He looks familiar but can't place him.

  59. M.... S....

    Ian McLagan.....the first biography about rock and blues-history I ever read and enjoyed immensely was his "All The Rage" about Small Faces. Love the video, and I must admit above all Keith is my man, what a guy and what a musician😎🎸👍

  60. w.... ....

    Can't share a song FFS fuck you youtube

  61. n.... t....

    hot rod is always at his best

  62. F.... C....

    Only Rod could pull that outfit off and still be a Ladies Man, hat off :-) Oh, BTW, great performance too.

    F.... C....

    No Mick Jagger could pull it off better. You know Mick will always be the man.☮️

    F.... C....

    Hey Fabrizio, rod is great also. It's just the stones in the late60's and 70's really get you going. They really are still the greatest rock and roll band in the world. Peace out my friend.✌️

  63. T.... ....

    this is the fake faces after ronnie left the band and steve marriot had left long before .might as well just call it the rod stewart band not the faces. rod had a soulful voice but steve marriot could sing so much better even on his worst day

    T.... ....

    What you fail to realize is the Small Faces with Steve Marriott was a much different band than Faces featuring Rod Stewart. Some of the some members, but two very different bands, style and sound.

    T.... ....

    No Ronnie Lane = No Faces basically Rods backing band by this time

  64. M.... C....

    Love that early to mid-'70s rock'n'roll

  65. R.... S....

    So much better a stylist than Mick Jagger.

  66. J.... S....

    Rod was great in the faces...have seen great stuff online by them....great version of maybe I’m amazed..

  67. D.... V....

    Big names, very mediochre shit. Compare it to Chicken Schack, Rod was always middle of the road. Presentation of a child, not a real artist!

  68. m.... m....

    Keith & Ronnie complimentary natural and Mr. Stewart does this Great

  69. L.... C....

    yes …

  70. M.... ....

    No one can say he's bigger than Rod

  71. R.... O....

    :56 - Rod stealing Mick's look circa 1971, plus his guitarist!

  72. j.... e....

    one of the best versions ever

  73. R.... J....

    I'd rather eat glass than listen to this hippy garbage! Haven't these clowns ever heard of autotune?

  74. R.... A....

    Was Ronnie Wood already with the Stones at this time?

    R.... A....

    No he was with small faces which was rods band before he went solo and became Rod

    R.... A....

    @Jenny Wasielewski Actually it was with Faces..Small Faces was when Steve Marriott was still with the group...just commenting

  75. S.... R....

    His fashion thankfully changed .. great song

  76. A.... N....

    No doubt one of the top singers back in day. A rock singer to his core.Soul singer oh no. That extra high notes that the black originals shed out. Touching ends wiv Keith and Ron.

  77. S.... ....

    This and Etta James live version are incredible.

  78. E.... E....

    He may not be no Charlie Atlas, but he's shore got a way with a tune...

  79. b.... ....

    when Rod the Mod was the best singer on the planet.

    b.... ....

    He still is the best on the planet.

    b.... ....

    Wonder if he kept his wardrobe.. his many daughters could definitely wear them!

  80. B.... B....

    head like a robber's dog......

  81. h.... b....

    So easy to see Ronnie joining tjae Stones. No brainer

  82. J.... B....

    Keith on heroin still can play

  83. D.... B....

    Wove Ebay za. Ftret. Perfect 👌 xnow 👲👲

  84. R.... R....

    classic...

  85. J.... M....

    All these years later and Ronnie, Keef and Rod are still going strong !

  86. R.... ....

    lol...the clothes ..;) like Housewifes of...

  87. C.... ....

    In 1974, the Faces were the best show on earth. Rod was so good and Ronnie was so simpatico with him

    C.... ....

    Cefcecdfs 1971-73 was their peak imo, they never really recovered from Ronnie Lanes departure, also worth noting that after Lane left,they never made another studio album which says a lot.

  88. i.... ....

    every time I see clips like this I am amazed. These guys didn't have instant video to show them how to do it, how to sound, how to have stage presence. These guys and the others in their genre were masters

  89. d.... ....

    Ronnie is doing most of the hard work. Just like now with The Stones.

  90. r.... ....

    music is best experiences with eyes shut... and that's very convenient when someone wears such an awful ugly hat... lucky us he takes it off at 1:57...
    I know, this comments doesn't make any sense, but that kind of headgear is so ulgly, and Mick Jagger wore one during an entire live performance... what were they thinking?

  91. L.... S....

    Before the Stones stole Woody...

  92. V.... ....

    TREMENDOUS Stuff McMahon

  93. A.... R....

    Dont remeber a shit a that

  94. J.... H....

    As good as this is it’s not really the Faces, No Ronnie Lane =no Faces

  95. G.... M....

    A good song of Etta James , I think > ?? - It's a Fabulous time with ROD !!!! Wouah !

    G.... M....

    Etta gets credit as a co writer (along with Billy Foster) but Ellington Jordan was the writer. Her version is good but i think the queen if the blues koko taylor did it better

  96. t.... h....

    Had?Ronnie Lane Passed away.He Was There Original Bassist after he.Kenny and Ian formed the Faces with Rod and Ronnie wood.A Former superstar of the Small Faces with Stevie Marriot.

    t.... h....

    terrence howes Ronnie Lane left the band in the middle of 1973 and went on to have a satisfying but short lived solo career with Slim Chance, Sadly he became ill with Multiple Sclerosis in the mid 70s which effectively put an end to his career although he did continue to appear from time to time ( health permitting) he bravely struggled on with this horrible condition, gradually declining until finally succumbing in 1997, very very sad

  97. R.... L....

    what about Ronnie Lane?

  98. W.... W....

    Maybe Mick could have done some kind of backup and with a few Hells Angels' bouncers, we could have changed history. Anyway, great band, those Faces.
