Found someone who can comfort me, but there are always exceptions
And she's good at appearing sane, but I just want you to know
She's the one makes me feel so good when everything is against me
Picks me up when I'm feeling down, so I've got something to show
Staring at empty pages, centered 'round the same old plot
Staring at empty pages, flowing along in the ages
Often lost and forgotten, the vagueness and the mud
I've been thinking I'm working too hard, but I've got something to show
Staring at empty pages, centered 'round the same old plot
Staring at empty pages, flowing along in the ages
Staring at empty pages, centered 'round the same old plot
Staring at empty pages, flowing along in the ages
Often lost and forgotten, the vagueness and the mud
I've been thinking I'm working too hard, but I've got something to show
You know
Found someone who can comfort me, but there are always exceptions

I'm 71 and I'd forgotten how good this song is...What a Treasure...
66 yr old from Italy here.....Have been loving this one for decades.....
63 …. I was a kid listening
They STUCK
AMAZING!
"God, how much talent do you want to put on Steve Winwood?"
"Yes."
One of the best songs in my lifetime !...I cannot get enough of Traffic. I heard this song for the first time when I was 16 years old !.....I play it to this day......on a turntable !
I'm also "Glad" that John Barlycorn did not die ..haha !
Me too!!
He was only about 20 when they did this all time great album. A true genius from an early age.
Indeed
Try 14 in blind faith
@@raymondkaufmann3167what? This was 1 year after blind faith what r u smoking. Maybe you're thinking of the 12yo girl on the blind faith album cover
I know. It's crazy that some get the motherload of talent and those like me...well, I'm gonna shut up or else I'll dive right into the self-pitying ditch.
Steve Winwood was and is great!
Such a brilliant tune, you don't even notice there's no guitar in the whole song
The Riff unbelievable!!
I consider Empty Pages one of his best...ranks right up there with Dear Mr. Fantasy and Can't find my way home!! I am right with ya at 62
This never goers out of style.!!
Buenísima canción del año 70 la recuerdo cómo si fuera hará mismo recordar es vivir
Traffic is a band which will be listened to forever. Timeless excellence.
Agreed
Capaldi's drums melt me every time
RIP
Yes!!!
God, I love this song.....picks me up when i'm feeling down, so I got something to show!!!.....wish todays music had this artistry and musicianship...miss it....thank GOD for this!
Stevie Winwood's voice....SO distinctive! Awesome artist!
This is an absolute masterpiece.
I had this album and when I moved I had left it at my parent's home. All of a sudden it disappeared. My sister took it but won't admit it, thief that she is. I had bought it in 1973 and really wish I still had it. :(
That little snare drum shuffle at 2:40 still gets me 50 yrs later...love this song.
I get it totally circa 1970
The drummer was probably doing a Buddy Rich intricate roll with one hand. Ha! Figured he could slip it in and that listeners like us would notice it years later. That type of stuff is a unique embellishment. I heard it too and we heard it here. SW’s the best and that drummer is underrated. Great ear, brother! Enjoy
@@paulseano5100 More than 50 yrs on and that bit never gets old...even after thousands of listens over the yrs.😁
there is a little "huh" at :40 that still gets me 53 years later :)
@@btom528👍👍👍😁😁😁
Steve Winwood is a beast on the bass, he’s right in the pocket, and plays the bass like a bass player, not like a keyboardist trying to hold down the bass line. What a tight groove
Spot on!
He’s also one of the best song writers ever!!!!
@@hessranch I’ll second that!!
So well put!
@@davidmaslow399 Sounds a wee bit like bass pedals on the organ?
One of the best loose jams keyboard trip in the entire rock n roll stew. How the hell can a person not move when this is playing.. straight up.....
OMG you must be a total rocker! Haven't heard anyone talk like this since college. So cool; thanks for taking me back. Yeah, when I make my kids listen, I just say "this song really rocks " It always will, Freakin Amazing!
A song you can listen to and never get tired of. CLASSIC
This is the coolest song ever, period.
☝😎amen
...my Most Favorite Recording...Can't Say or Feeeeel Enough about It...
Hard to argue, otherwise.
The argument can be made. I feel the same way about 'Josie' by Steely Dan
My all time favorite!!
My neighborhood is listening now !
I love this band.
Became a instant fan in 68.
This song takes me back to the spring of '70... sitting in a Staten Island bar called Tarry's with a bunch of other 16 year olds who came over from Jersey to drink under age. This song was playing on the juke box... it didn't seem like life could ever be any better...
We did that on the upper West Side too Brother!
@@davidhill1404 We used to come to the Island via the Outerbridge Crossing. I think the toll was 50 cents back then. We also used to go to the Hitching Post and the Mardis Gras. (Jerry's?)
I’m sure…. 🥰
Traffic has always been a favorite. Band of mine. I just wish I grew up on the east coast.
Great memories!!!..Thanks for sharing that Don ...We were doing the same in New Haven CT.
A uniquely contemporary piece in 1970. Steve Winwood (vocal and keyboard) and Jim Capaldi (RIP) on drums were brilliant. A year when so much good music came out, a lot of which has stood the test of time and remains relevant in 2022
How tru
1970 for rock n roll was seminal and epic.
But that's music during that time.
So much excellence, it's a veritable feast for the ears.
Traffic... fantastic band, and astoundingly underrated overall. This has always been one of my favorites from them.
WORE OUT THE NEEDLE ON THE RECORD PLAYER LISTENING TO TRAFFIC
The long piano part is EVERYTHING.
So beautiful....
All elements of jazz, rock, and blues from 3 gifted artists in a timeless song. No one group can make that statement, ever.
Stevie winwood can do no wrong !
Just Smiling with my headphones on listening to this
C est simple, beau et d'une grande efficacité. Les touches d'orgue hammond et le lumineux solo de piano en font un des grands titres de cet album et de Traffic.
S##T, I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW. One of the best keyboard jams EVVVVVVVVVEEEEER. How could you not move to that?
This forgotten song needs brought back to life. This is a complete composition in every way, wow! I miss quality music, it's such a treat to stumble on 50 year old music like this - it's almost like finding a lost artifact in the middle of a vast expanse.
Traffic is just unbelievably good. I remembered the main riff from childhood but couldn't remember what song it came from. Just about went crazy trying to track it down until I heard it at a good friend's barbecue a couple of weeks ago, and he was able to put me onto it.
YES!!💯👍🙂
@@jenniferbrooks87 you get it!
@@evanoffm To hear someone other than myself reference this masterpiece really made my day🎶
People don't have time to appreciate the musicianship any more...it's all a hook and gone, or autotune.
Never, ever, gets old
Quite possibly the best song on John Barleycorn. As usual Steve's presence is all over this masterpiece and I'm still in awe after all of these years...the keyboard solo that begins at 1:49 alone is an absolute marvel!
Totally agree. Got this when it came out , listened to opening tracks Hlad , Freedom Rider and thought wow can’t get better then Empty Pages , blew me away .
This song is still so relevant that it makes that these pages have stil filled by me & Iam 77yrs old I am alone remembering the things I have filled still seems they will never I love the way Steve winwood plays
rock and roll ROYALTY Prakash
Epic. Empty pages is a happy future he sees with her. Often lost and forgotten
I’m 67 and still love this song. We are in the middle of the Delta variant COVID pandemic but this music soothes my soul.
Mine as well ❤️
Same
Love a good Traffic jam 🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
Yes makes me good at appearing sane
I still get the shivers of the awsome electric piano solo in this lovely peace of music from the old days while i'm my older days 73 now and still adoring this album
Steve Winwood performs this with such calm and easy it just forces you into the groove. I'm amazed at his talent. Many hours of pleasure.
One of my favorite Traffic songs. Steve Winwood is kicking it.
I had this LP when I was 13, in 1970....this is still one of my favorite LP's.
I was 10 then. My older sister had THE best record collection, she got me into it. She went to Winterland a few times in her teens!
you're my same age, bro....Born 1957....A greeting from Italy....Love Traffic...Ciao
My very favorite song of all time .. Stevie Winwood is magical!!!
One of the Great Traffic tunes! I was 2O when this came out.
Damn, kills me after all these years, that's what MUSICIANS DO.!!!! Wow, gotta hear it again, before I play the rest of the album!!! (Yea, I'm old kids)
So good. And I put Glad and Freedom Rider also for our listening pleasure. They HAVE to he together right?🎸🎸🎸🎸😎😎😎🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏🙏🙏❤❤
One of the greatest bands of all time. This album is a masterpiece. The way Winwood, Capaldi, Wood & ,Mason(when was in the group) incorporated different musical forms was incredible.
As usual, the bass line in this song elevates it to greatness.
Couldn't what to get it home open it up popping the head phones on, both sides superb. That very first experience is there every time I hear it ...
Same here! Rock and Roll Royalty
Thankyou Stevie i love your music 💜💜🙏
ultra trick tune. Capaldi's drumming is the secret weapon on this track.
These guys are fucking good. Jazzy tune. A masterpiece. Truly Traffic seal. After a 1000's years still enjoy it. Greatly.
Steve was 14 when he joined The Spencer Davis Group. What a voice. 100% soul
Was 10 years old. Great album and song. Thanks
Traffic was the greatest band in the history of the universe!
Absolutely spot on. The song never old...
Steve's electric piano carries this tune....🎼🎵🎶🎤🎹🥁
Favorite classic rock band of all time!!!
Steve really hit the mark with this band, Capaldi really opens it up!!!!!
Thanks to my Cousin Walter for Opening my Mind!!!!!
I love this song. It’s so cool.
Been listening to this since it came out, this song has got right under my skin, and i always love hearing it. Saw Traffic perform this live at Imperial College in 1971, one of the most enjoyable evenings of my life.
One of my favorites ❤️
Me lo gocé me lo viví en mi época y hoy estoy de cumple, matriculando 65... Viva la Paz y el Amor!!!
2008 when I first heard this. Blew me away then. Blows my mind now. Fucking masterpiece
this takes me back to my college days!
I used to play this song over and over again. I wish I saw Traffic in concert.
Keep moving. Best sounds ever created
Definitely awesome feel good song. I play it every morning when I get up. Makes me want to dance lol. Traffic awesome band.!!!
Life is a fucking rat race, when it gets to be too much I find a quiet corner and play this absolute soothing gem of a song. God damn it feels good.
Traffic set the standard! Winwood is amazing!
Rock Royalty
PIANO SOLO IN MIDDLE IS FANTASTIC
THEY USED ROGER HAWKINS LIVE CAPALDI ON PERCUSSION
Groovy and powerful
One of the most perfect albums of all time.
They were talented musicians and writers plain and simple.
Indeed you are correct my friend.
Next to James Gang with Bolero and Funk 49. How eclectic can you get?!
@@josephbuonfiglio9442 i agree
I agree
This song is 51 year's Old an it's still fucking mint , I love it
It’s about, man. It’s about time. Alright, it’s my time…. To forget the past….Hell Yeah!!!!
Some sort of transcendental genius work here, there is no explanation possible
44 yrs old and still an awesome tune by an awesome group
Should be way more famous than they are. This album is top ten for me.
Going out on a limb here, but just might be their best tune?
WOW ..!
Winwood was a natural at every musical endeavor he was involved in.
He was a. Musician that inspired his peers to be ledgendary figures in. the rock era
Good , but No Face No Name No Number.
Wow.! Extraordinaria banda, hoy disfrutando esta espectacular canción con mis hermanos de siempre Pastor y Luis " El Niche " saludos a los que aprecian la música desde San José Barquisimeto Venezuela...
My favorite band as a kid after the Beatles and Stones - Best of Traffic changed my life as a twelve year old
Far better than the Beatles who lack the soul of Traffic and the Stones. The jam bit on the Stones' "Can You Hear Me Knocking" sounds like Traffic.
Aaaahhhhhhhh......oh man.......awesome song, makes you want to dance !!!
He's done so many great songs some iconic, but to me this is one ya don't hear much & it's one of my favorites. Great arrangement, cool groove, & voice, great changes, & it's gotta jam feel to it as well. Empty Pages & Glad are often go to's for me, but then again He's got a great song for every mood & Genre.
Back in the day when progressive programming on FM stations, radio personalities were given wide latitude in what they may play when they will play, and how it will get done. A college freshman, I was a part of that scene working it through college radio. Winwood and Traffic were always on the playlists! Winwood was a beast.
Pirates World 1968 amazing!
I love this tune so much! I play it at least once a week!! That keyboard solo is outta sight!!!!
Sam Forbes Steve Winwood killed on those keys!!!
Steve Winwood- top-class musician!
Indeed
Genius of all time
Capaldi just so soulful on this.
Thank god for steve winwood
There will never be another Steve, thank the lord we had our time with this wonderful music.
I was 11 years old when this song came out.Love this song like I love everything else that Steve Winwood's done,love his style of rock music,he's a true living legend!.John M Guinto
I love traffic it was a happy time in my life I will never be that happy again I lost I use this music to fill my empty heart
I hear you.
Hold on to what you can and smile whenever it's possible.
Life is very very hard. Its true also that it could always be worse, and when it's gone, it's gone. So smile as long and as often as you can and hang in there.
Best of luck to you, friend.
I still love this song, it never gets old.
Heard this song playing while grocery shopping at Kroger the other night! Couldn't believe it 😬
Saw them in concert together with the free another superband from the UK giving a mindblowing set in the hague ,Netherlands never to be forgotten.❤
Saw them both also in NYC.....73-74?🎸🎸🎸👌
These drums just make me happy and then kick in the funky keyboard solo...shiiiiit.
Love this song and Traffic it's bring back such great time in my life.
The keyboards is a lost part of the best times in music. I am a sucker for them.
Empty Pages is a good cruising song. Well, really all of it!
Good vibes, love it!
Great listening. I am 61 and still moving to the music. Love the great sound!!
Yolanda Villarreal I love you comment. 4 years old. I seen this band back in the day in the 70s back when I lived in Brooklyn. One of the best.
61 here too and agreeing .......
me too girl!!!
64 still alive & kicking
60 here & i had been listening to Traffic & followed thier career since i was 15yrs old. Lost my John Barleycorn Must Die 33-1/3 LP vinyl to the floods.
So so so good, and the inspiration for so many others.
Hard to believe this album is 48years old this year. Traffic certainly left their mark with a blend of rock jazz folk all interwoven into their own tapestry and style with stevie woods vocals driving them on.
Gosh, hard to remember 4 yrs ago after the past 2 yrs. But thanks cause it's hard to believe this song is now over 50. This was playing when I was in high school, it's always been in the back of my mind. So glad I found it again. Just as great as the first time, so timeless!
Many foggy afternoons in my room puffing to this classic back in the day
