Walsh, Joe - The Confessor Lyrics
If you look at your reflection in the bottom of a well,
What you see is only on the surface.
When you try to see the meaning, hidden underneath,
The measure of the depth can be deceiving.
The bottom has a rocky reputation
You can feel it in the distance the deeper down you stare.
From up above it's hard to see, but you know when you're there.
On the bottom words are shallow.
On the surface talk is cheap.
You can only judge the distance by the company you keep
In the eyes of the Confessor.
In the eyes of the Confessor,
There's no place you can hide.
You can't hide from the eyes (of the Confessor)
In the eyes of the Confessor
You can't tell a lie,
You cannot tell a lie (to the Confessor)
Strip you down to size,
Naked as the day that you were born,
Naked as the day that you were born.
Take all the trauma, drama, comments,
The guilt and doubt and shame
The "what ifs" and "if onlys"
The shackles and the chains
The violence and aggression,
The pettiness and scorn,
The jealousy and hatred,
The tempest and discord,
AND GIVE IT UP!

Walsh, Joe The Confessor Comments
be careful where you step there's no telling what's under the rocks.
In the Eyes of the Confessor you can not tell A lie.
saw the James Gang way back in 1970 at the Ohio State Fair. Got in free, ate free, and smoked the best weed free and also got there and back free from Canton....LOL
If this isn't one the most epic, greatest songs I've ever heard I don't know what is. Joe Walsh is not that stupid ass "Life's Been Good." He's way beyond that!
Walsh always had the BEST modulated guitar tone. Phaser, flanger etc. His guitar sounds like a jet engine.
Naked as the day that
I was bornd
Estees was really cool back then now it's just another product to California
Had a good day with him at the Wagon Wheel bar Estes Park Colorado showed me his fishing license it said Joe Walsh we smoke good bud drank a lot of good tequila we were supposed to go trout fishing on Thompson Creek all we did was catch a Buzz I thought he was bullshiting but I delivered him to his Ranch Neverland Ranch push the buttons and he was in interesting day
I fell so said when I hear this song. I was a mess on acid and cocaine at that time. I lost all my friends and started hanging out with the wrong crowd. Thank God it didn't last long and I've been clean for 20 years now.also it's funny it says old stuff on the title. To me this is new stuff. Compared to all of walshes career.
Free concert in heart plaza after pistons won championship pouring rain 90 degrees he played full concert
Bad boys
We’re listening
Always listening great fucking song catch up and walk away
I here right now!!!!!!!
YALL BETTER GIVE IT UP ROD
Until i push the play button then i knew how bad ass the song is. 2019 and on still rock n roll!!
U can't hide !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! From the EYES OF THE CONFESSOR.
This tune is just "bullshitly" grand...! Just saying............
THE VERY END OF SONG WITH A VERY LOUD SCREAM. AS IT FLYS OVER WERE IS MY eagle in the pictures ANYWAY HE IS SCREAMING GIVE IT UP
GIVE IT UP ROAR ROAR ROAR ROAR ROAR ROAR ROAR ROD
I seem to remember there was a pretty good video to this song back when MTV used to play music videos.
This song has meaning to it. Just listen to it and you'll understand.
Yes!... she'll pay!
Yes. She'll pay.
Stays crunchy, even in milk.
Mindgasm
I have always thought this song must have been inspired by Kahlan Amnell from The Sword Of Truth series. One of my favorite reads of my life.
It is nothing more than the low spark of high heeled boys
love the slow rock
there are no secrets kept from the collective. all truth must be revealed, if you choose not to look then there is no one to blame for your deception but you, so wake up and seek the true universal GOD OF ALL IN ALL. gods speed to us all in ALL.
joe has a guitar sound that'a all his own. always been a big fan of his tunes
Yes I'm still Listening December 2019 but' it's so hard to beat Funk 49!!!!!!!!
Joe Smokes🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
The beginning sounds just like it was COPIED by Bon Jovi - Dead or Alive... and this came out just a few months earlier so it WAS definitely on Bon Jovi's mind as he was seeking new material for his upcoming album.
Joe, You are one stoned some-bitch.
Underrated song in the Joe Walsh canon, but one of his best
Affirmative
If you ain't Joe Walsh, you ain't shit.
What a fucking solo...
Sounds so much like the intro to blaze of glory by bon vagi... I wonder if Joey ever called them up in Jersey and blasted them? Hey Jersey jaws! You stole my riffs!
Bring it on Confessor
Yea,come on widit.
Right Here ... Right Now! Flashing Back! J/S :)
Joe the Great!
I listen to all of the 70's and 80's in the parking lot of my kids school and you'll be surprised how many times I get the thumbs up . KEEP THE MUSIC ALIVE ND JAM THE SHIT OUT OF IT
What GOD Wants GOD Gets
Honest I soooooo crazy totally newer heard this before!?!Soooooo HOT
this has all the studio tricks from the late 70s, early 80s
Songs that carry the timeless truth's seem even more treasured. Congratz to Joe; we do not all receive such Gifts.
And maybe I'm uniformed, but how did Jermaine Dupri get credit for writing on this song?
His entire life, discography and career never mentions this, only that he began in 1990-1992. *Please let me know why his name is listed here as a writer of this song. *And Usher was also a writer on THIS song??? - Really? How? - When? - Thank you.
Just look it up - Joe Walsh released this in mid 1985 - and then Bon Jovi released "Wanted Dead or Alive" in 1986, actually in 1987, just months later. So QUICK to copy Joe. --- What a JOKE Bon Jovi were/are - and using every bit of MTV and young girl-fans as they could, when back then most kids never even heard of Joe. SAD, truly pathetic of Bon Jovi.
It's so obvious how Bon Jovi copied this... When we were 15, watching MTV, we were laughing at Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive"video and how they "TRIED" to act as if they had been through it all, as if they were the Eagles or The Rolling Stones, when in fact they were nothing and still are, always were. ;)
OH YEAH!!
Man the memories
668 thumbs downs who need to do some confessing.
To Govenor Michael J Dunleavey, for appointing thief Ben Stevens as cos. Go fuck yourself Mike, you are a follower.
This song is the shiznit now Walsh is one of the greatest atrist alive

This album is so AWESOME!!!!
We're gonna get you cranked up on some chemo and radiation.For what,I'm terminal.Id like to center now.Notice a birdsong in the morning,smell the air.Whatever I was taking for granted.
I confess that if I was diagnosed terminal,I know where to get a hot shot.You ain't cleaning up puke and shit behind me.Wearing the agitator out on the Kenmore,or wet wiping my ass crack.Thats a suicide with dignity.
When I first heard this song I was 14 years old. It had a very fucking profound effect on me, as that the least I have to say about it!
I remember when this song came out ...even watched it on MTV.... Still a favorite of mine...
Watched Joe's performance opening for Tom Petty on his 40th anniversary & last tour, unforgettable
2019 and I am STILL trying to find the meaning hidden underneath... Perhaps I need to stop trying so hard?
Read the Bible and you'll figure it out 🙂
Right wrong
Black or blue
Hers mind
Yes no
Your can't hide from the eyes don't you even try 😲
Day one with hearing aids, streaming Joe!
Long live Rock!
Joe knew...what to do
great song
a pretty cool jam that blows me away every time I've listened to it. ✌
🤘🏻
Bravo ⚘
I hopeing joe remembers the balloon starship enterprise we had let go at the concert we had to beg ,and bribe security!!!
I remember joe playing this my ears were ringing for hours thank you joe I wouldn't have it any other way
joe's guitar rocks
The solo's are awesome!! Joe rules!
Shaped most personality at age 6 on house stereo, thanks be to the Lord Jesus it subconsciously planted that this place was temporary or warmup game for what really matters. Thank you Lord Jesus
All praise, honor, and glory to the most high Father and son Jesus Christ forever and ever, andtheir will be done always. Aka The original Confessor you cannot tell a lie naked as the day WE WERE MADE
Aww what a trip!!!!😎
645 assholes down thumbed this great classic from Crazy Joe Walsh, probably Jay-Z fans.
The measure of the depth can be deceiving
This song is shit!!

brilliant use of synths, killer blues guitar riffs
