Lyrics:
You still got that light in your eye
And our day is coming by and by
I'm travelling this long road here with you
We still got a long way, we still got a long way to go
The first time I set eyes on you, I listened to you sing, yeah, yeah
We didn't have to speak 'cause the words said everything
Yes, you walked right into my life and we were on our way, yeah
So long ago, but it feels like yesterday
And I just want to tell you
You still got that light in your eye, yes you do
And our day is coming by and by
I'm travelling this long road here with you
We still got a long way, we still got a long way to go
Now some of my best memories are days I spent with you, yeah
Each time we hit the road it was always something new
Spaced out rather drunk or singing in the sun, yeah, yeah
One more bottle dead and a new day just begun
I just want to tell you
You still got that light in your eye
And our day is coming by and by
I'm travelling this long road here with you
We still got a long way, we still got a long way to go
Shining light, shining bright on the days gone down
Shining light, shining bright on the days gone down
Shining light, shining bright on the days gone down
We won't forget the days gone down, they're written in our hearts, yeah, yeah
And we're as much in tune as we were right at the start
It all seems so much harder now, it seemed so easy then, yeah, yeah
Well, someday, just for fun, we might do it all again
I just want to tell you
You still got that light in your eye, yes you do
And our day is coming by and by
I'm travelling this long road here with you
We still got a long way, we still got a long way to go
(Yeah, yeah ...)
You still got that light in your eye
And our day is coming by and by
I'm travelling, travelling this road with you
We still got a long way, we still got a long way to go
#GerryRafferty #DaysGoneDown
76 years old and still listening to the sadly underrated Gerry Rafferty ,his music will last long after i am gone, and so it should, Genius track.
Yeah. He has been hurting my heart and haunting my dreams since I was a slim, young woman and I'm still listening at 74.
Absolutely agree
So am I. I’m gonna discover his work. I really only know 2 albums. I’ll explore the rest now. RIP Gerry.
Life is a long walk.
This is one of my favorite songs. I was headed off to middle school when I heard it that summer. It never gets old.
If this ain't one of the best songs in the world, I'll eat my hat.
And I’ll help you!!
With Salad or Chips? 😄
It harkens great memories and great regret.
Favorite Rafferty song for me
I agree
*The Best Singer Song Writer most people have never heard of. No Fluff, no Antics, No BS....Just Musical Brilliance*
yes
ABSOLUTELY!!!💚💙🎸🎷
One of them anyway.
I feel sorry for people who have never heard of ‘Baker Street’. I mean, it's without exaggeration one of the greatest songs ever to hit the charts around the world.
I have Baker Street as my ringtone
Not many listen to this in our days I'm 29 ill carry the torch.
Keep it lit bright.
ty
The older I get, the more I love him. He was so under appreciated.
I dedicated this song to my wife of 13 years. She still has that light in her eye and we still got a long way to go!
awesome
Good man 👍
Gerry Rafferty is an icon that will never be forgotten,that voice reverberates in the hearts of us the people that love him. I am one of those
Possibly one of the best tracks ever written and recorded by Gerry. This is what life is all about living it to the full everyday and leaving behind a legacy for others to follow or even admire. An absolute Scottish talent of the highest order. R.I.P Gerry you were and still are the best…
Had completely forgotten this song...my friend had the album and we would sit and listen to it at night...the words came back to me a soon as he started. Miss this style of music so much. RIP, Gerry!
Always effortless, genuinely the greatest talent to come out of Scotland musically.
Chris Montig
For sure
True, enough, Chris. Dead far too soon.
Pound for pound the best pitch perfect melodic male vocalist of all time!
BEST OF ALL TIME! In your humble opinion of course lol
Time Lord???!!+ LMFBO
Good shout !
I agree. Amazing tone
@@random-fun-stuff I don't know much about tone,pitch perfect etc, etc, But I recognize talent when I hear it,
What about the guys from Little River Band?
Give it a thumbs up if you are still listening and loving this in 2019!
Lisa Cunningham i’m re-discovering Gerry Rafferty.
By all means~!!!
Make that 2020!
Loving it in 2020 now ! Gerry was a genius, RIP . Thankfully we will always have his music .
2020
Gerald Rafferty 16 April 1947 - 4 January 2011 age 63
Although Gerry's final years were very sad, we still love him and all the memorable music he produced for all of us to enjoy for many generations to come.. Thank you Gerald..
ty
This is a man completely in the zone. Rafferty is up there there in the stratosphere with all the greatest songwriters.
Well said. When I said underrated, I only meant that many listeners today have missed out on a superb example of great music.
I'm only 23, my grandfather put me on to Gerry when i was about 5. When I close my eyes while listening to Gerry I can see myself in the car with him. If that's not timeless music, then I don't know what is. RIP Gerry..... you'll always be the best.
Amen brother...timeless indeed...
Thank you, your grandpa.
Lovely memories for you young man, well maybe not so young now ! I remember when i was 23 back in 1983, I was still listening to this guy, But many were just Baker St fans who never stuck by him, But I did. Gerry was a wonderful musician, He had his demons more than most, But he fought it with great music.
His timeless beautiful music has such a profound effect on a lot of his fans , me included. Music of my life. Love your story. 👍😊
Brilliant, touching comment 👍🎤🎹
In Scotland Gerry Rafferty is greatly loved and appreciated - we are proud of our musical genius ❤️❤️❤️🏴🏴🏴
He’s not Scottish, he is Irish
@@richardloostburg2637Born and raised in Paisley Scotland.
Do shut up
Absolutely ❤ love ❤️
Born and raised in Paisley. Ladt i looked that was Scotland. 👍👍👍@@richardloostburg2637
He hated the music industry. He said he only wrote songs for his daughter.He could have been huge if he wanted with his talent.
And that's why I love Gerry Rafferty
I didn't know that
same thing with Cat Stevens, he never quite got used to the limelight during the peak of his career.
Daughter's have an important impact
His disdain of the music industry was apparent even in the days of Stealer's Wheel, when Gerry penned the lyrics to Stuck In The Middle With You - "clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right".........although part of those lyrics were directed at Billy Connolly, at the time when ( in Gerry's words) "the songs were getting shorter and the jokes were getting longer"......
Spot on Kiera, This guy done it for the love of music not the money or fame.
What a brilliant, generational singing voice.
Bring back real music!
damn straight
The entire Night Owl album is incredible!!!
Almost the only vinyl LP I ever bought.
As is City to City, and Sleepwalking.....
Same,bought it for friends I often visit @@video99couk
Pure class. Songs such as this just aren’t written anymore.
Thumbs up from me, superbly composed and executed track.
I’m 67, knocking on 68, and I’ve loved his music since Stealers Wheel. Mr Rafferty had a Orbisonesque sound; timeless
Gerry Rafferty has always been a quintessential favorite of mine, since Baker St came out in May of 78.
The great Gerry Rafferty. I met up with Gerry's music later in my life but what fantastic songs & music he made. The word genius is used a lot these days but this man truly was a musical genius in every sense of the word. Never wanted the limelight. His songs seem to carry so much of his own life experiences and some of us can relate to what his songs are saying. Musical Hall of Fame is all the poorer for Gerry Rafferty not being in it. RIP Sir.
The R&R Hall of Fame doesn't deserve Gerry! Nor Gordon Lightfoot, Steve Winwood, George Benson, Rita Coolidge, James Taylor & a handful of other extraordinary gentle souls
I wouldve never picked up a guitar & became a musician had it not been for Gerry & those others. The 70's is forever a better place & we are better people today for knowing his music 🎼 💜
you don't appreciate the talent in that studio when you see and hear this , Gerry, Rab , Liam, Raphael and others , the best years !!!
Who is the girl?
My favorite Scotsman, Rest In Peace Gerry
If you haven't yet been converted just give this song three listens and you'll be ready to tackle the full catalogue. It's criminal that Gerry isn't looked on in the same light as some better known artist's.
This message goes out to the ones who feel they never met their dreams and the yearning hearts-just know you are loved and God has his eye on you because you are a beautiful creation of His and please accept the ultimate love the Lord so wants to give to you!
"Spaced out on another drunk, singing in the sun, yeah, yeah. One more bottle dead and a new day just begun.............."
It's an artist at his peak. Amazing.
Gerrys voice has never been equalled. Its as though his voice has so many tones but its just how he sang naturally. His ability to combine instruments and harmonies are grossly unknown and undervalued. His songwriting is total genius. Rest in peace legend.
61 and this trak never gets old.
Most people only know Gerry from songs like Baker's Street, but I love these obscure ones. He had such a great, soothing voice!!!
The lesser known songs that he wrote are his true masterpieces.
Yes ,Elizabeth i couldn't agree more. So sad that Gerry's no longer with us.
*****
*****
I couldn't agree more with you. True Greatness.
Days Gone Down was top 20 in the USA back in 1979 so shouldn't be real obscure. It's just that Baker Street was so epic that everything else gets pushed to the side a bit, and that's a shame.
The album Night Owl went Gold in America (500,000 sales). Shame he never really liked touring.
Warm summer day on a lake in Minnesota. Cabin nestled on a hill and a thick tree canopy down the hill and revealing a blue lake. A dock, the sound of lapping water against the boat affixed to it, the sound of boat motors off in the distance, the smell of fresh air mixed with coppertone sun tan lotion, the warm feeling of the sun and a heart full of love for a new girlfriend, a glass with ice tinkling as I swirl my favorite drink and the melodic sound of Gerry Rafferty oozing down from the cabin stereo sytstem and onto the lake. Yes, a great day in the summer of 1979 and a memory forever etched into my mind. If there is a heaven, maybe I'll once again be back there.
Thank you Scotland for Gerry Rafferty.
We have plenty to be proud of in Scotland and Gerry is one of them. Lovely comment. Thank you
I've run out of superlatives about Gerry, one of my countrymen who taught the world to sing with meaning, God bless you mon!
Gerry was a unique voice. Incredible sound. One of the best pop rock singers ever. He had special arrengemnts with exquisite musical taste.
This guy had such an incredible sound...so many great tunes!
“To believe in God is to know that all the rules will be fair, and that there will be wonderful surprises.”
- Ugo Betti
He had amazing voice sadly missed
To watch real artists work so beautifully is the most pleasurable thing in life and in this world , Gerry Rafferty and his fellow musicians are testament to this fact.
One of my all-time favorite ballads is “Whatever’s Written In Your Heart,” which most people have never even heard.
I've been listening to it since I bought the album 'City to City ' in 1978.
Good call sir ! A genius composition.
Everytime I hear things song from the gem that is Gerry Rafferty, I think of my Father, Mother and big Brother Martin who are sadly passed away, each day that passes is another day closer to seeing them again when I pass over to the other side and fell the warmth of their embrace and love. I know life is precious, I would never take my life, but that day we're all together again can't come soon enough. R.i.P. and God bless their souls. Love always Colin.
Until that time comes Colin remember that there is plenty of us sharing the same types of longing for loved ones passed away and while we are still fortunate enough to be able to open our eyes every day we have to enjoy the rest of our lives, hard as it can be, and I know that, your words were a lovely read btw, from a guy in North Glasgow , take care mate and hope you're well mate.
This song made me a Gerry Rafferty fan - love his vocals in this one
For a few minutes, I got to feel like we were back in 1979 and I was there in the studio, listening to Rafferty work his magic.
One of the most underrated musicians to ever grace us
He was not underrated!
@@kelrogers8480 agreed
Underrated to newer generations, maybe. But thats not their fault. I was only one of millions of american kids who were pleasantly stunned when gerry hit rock radio in 1978. The forever impression was made early in our lives. Weve been listening ever since....
Gerry was the reason many of us began playing guitar & writing music. And for those who came from no musical tradition from their parents, folks like Gerry Rafferty, Rita Coolidge, Gordon Lightfoot, Bill Withers, James Taylor & others became our musical roots. Personally, by choice these are my very roots because, son of a classical pianist, I took the direction of contemporary music....
Generation X _IS_ the 70's. We _ARE_ the 70's, & Gerry's music is forever part of us. So remember: Its not just a decade. Not just time & place. It's an open-minded, unprejudiced attitude that seeks to learn to understand. May warmer souls & kinder hearts prevail, always. But that's not limited to a decade or a single generation 🎼💜
@@magnificentmuttley154 wow ty
Gerry's music always reminds me of my brother who has passed. I have a new found respect and love for his music since I watched the interview with him. His music is eternal. 😊😢
sorry for your loss
Epic in studio look. Man this takes me back to those wonderful 70s❤
This song reached number 22 on Billboard pop singles chart in 1980 very underrated song I think this is his 2nd best song RIP GERRY.
The greatest Gerry Rafferty. My father introduced me and myoder brother to his music. 30 odd Yr ago. We both loved his music. Played at both my father's and older brothers funerals. Different songs at each one. R.I.P.
God bless them. Colin.
so sorry for your loss
God bless you.
I have listened to Gerry since I was a DJ in Sweden 1978....He is the best. I love his SONGS. I will always....
me too
The ex dropped her ‘bomb’ on me and took our two small children when she did. I had no clue and was devastated. All just before this came out. I wore out this track on the LP during the tough days to follow. Now, I have great kids and grandkids, life is grand, and all that is a long ago memory, but I still love this song. RIP Gerry, God Bless and thanks for bringing me comfort through a tough time.
A ton of Gerry's songs were about his marriage and it's ultimate failure....
Bless your Heart.....
Shut up.....
Over this. Makes me cry. Was my dad's favourite. Remember it allways. Miss ya Gerry. And big Billy 👌👌👌🏴🏴🏴👍👍👍😞🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺😁😁😁♥️♥️
Another masterpiece of song by the late great Gerry Rafferty. Its a brilliant opening track to his Night Owl album. Terrific. Plain Genius. Master singer and songwriter.
I'm 16 and right now my main form of musical entertainment is the bass-heavy music staking its claim right now in music history. Though, on a video game I play with a Dutch friend of mine, I asked him if he had any musical recommendations. He suggested "Baker Street" by Mr.Rafferty. These last several days, Rafferty, Mungo Jerry, and other classics have been all that my speakers have played. Thanks for introducing me into an era of legendary tunes that I was unaware of, good friend.
Seeing Gerry smiling at the start, makes this video.
I'm 77 years old what a great musician
Betsy Cook is Fabulous 💐❤️💐 ( and Rafferty was a Great Composer 👑🕊)
I do believe I have found my new favorite GR song. Wonderful.
Kids today are so lucky. An amazing song like this is just sitting there, waiting to be discovered by anyone in the world with access to Spotify or CZcams. I discovered this song five years ago and I keep coming back to it. If there is a heaven, I hope Gerry gets a chuckle every time someone here on Earth discovers his music.
@@IrnBruNYC
Sorry, I'm no kid.
I plan on dedicating this to my on our 52nd anniversary coming up in June.
I love this one as well as Whatever Is Written In You Heart. He was such an amazing singer and song writer.
This song should be right next to the likes of Funeral fr a Friend and so on!! Legendary tune!!
Definitely 70's. Hair, Smiles, Pants, great times gone by.
Wish we could relive them! With all the 70*s music for a whole week or two! No cell phones or laptops! Bell bottom jeans, all of it Lol
It's a beautiful thing to think of how much painstaking trouble he went through in his life, yet he persisted through it all with the love for his people, most especially his daughter, who was there with him throughout his life. Awe-inspiring, even to me, being a Gen-Z kid. He's one of my favorite artists ever.
One of the great lyricists of all time. So underrated. In my top artists list of all time.
I can not agree more. Gerry was a class act. Superb. His voice can't be copied by anyone. I was 14 when I encountered this musician at Steelers Wheel, Stuck in the middle with you. His haunting voice stayed in my mind so when City to City was released, I knew it was the same most beautiful voice
🤦🏿♀️
He was way too underrated. He had real talent.
Truly a great song of the 70's. An era of real music that took talent, not fancy electronics. Good job Gerry, and band, your music will be cherished! R.I.P. Sir!
Brilliant. I’m late getting to the Rafferty party but I’m glad to finally get here. Always loved the big singles but but I want to dig in finally. So much wasted time…
Gerry Rafferty saved me. I hope you find what you're looking for :)
@@patjos1 What’s a good place to start?
This guy was so good.
Such a distinctive signing voice. Hard to describe, but I just love listening to Gerry Rafferty.
It was described once by someone in a recording studio as a "liquid" voice.... sadly there was irony there....
Still remember late summer of ‘79 by this song. Favorite Rafferty.
Musical freaking genius!! Been listening to him since I was 10..he gave me 38 great years, what a huge loss to the world..R.I.P. Gerry.
Try frankie miller. Awesome voice 👏
This must be my favourite Rafferty song
Makes me cry for his legacy
Yeah, that is right Rafferty's music is uplifting and timeless.
Good to see Gerry enjoying himself...
What I love more about GR music is the melodies. Great escape from the hustle and bustle of this noisy city.
Wonderful voice behind the piano as well . Very special group of extremely talented musicians and great songwriter and vocals Gerry R.
The best about this is what you are hearing is live in the studio not signing along to the song but actually recording it
I'm 46 and Gerry still is brilliant, I know he's gone , my dad brought me up with this music, I will never stop listening to it xx
He was big in Melbourne,Australia,in the late 1970's to the mid 1980's.I grew up with his music,and he will never be forgotten!.😢
Absolute legend!
1000% percent underated great song! Thank you Gerry!
I wish Gerry Rafferty were still around... I'm only 21. Would've loved to of seen him live....
Not one bad song from Mr. Rafferty. I could just keeping listening and listening to all his songs. What an incredible voice.
Loved Gerry Rafferty since the "Stealer's Wheel" days.I am definitely showing my age (62 years old myself!.)
@stephenyoung6121 I'm a little younger, 51 yrs old. I have a brother 8 years older than myself, and he introduced me to all the wonderful music of the 70s.
I sing Get it Right next time with my 6 year old grandson .he knows every word
that man was so under rated
No he wasn't.
Having watched a lot of rock, jazz, blues, classic artists from different parts of the world I would agree he is so underrated - but what is so disgusting it's comes mostly from his fellow Scots
Not by anybody who`s opinion is worth anything he wasn`t.
I wouldn't agree with that Frank. The main TV Station in Scotland recently did a top 20 of Scottish acts/songs telephone vote.
Baker St was number 1, and Stuck in the Middle was in the top 5 as well.
@@AlanRafferty are you kin to him by chance?
This music will live forever..what a beautiful gift he left us..thank you!! 😙🤗
Very well put!!!!!!!!
He is great😊 amazing voice.☘️☘️☘️☘️
ABSOLUTELY GOD DAMN RIGHT. WAS THIS RECORDED IN CHIPPING NORTON ?
Lyrics, music, voice just a great song as all of Rafferty's music.
What a unique voice Gerry had - what a musician. Gone too early RIP
Absolute genius, brings back all the memories of golden days in 1978/79 RIP Gerry x
Well I'm 47 , Gerry Rafferty was amazing xxx
what a voice.... I saw him live in Antwerp in the 80s. I'm a fan forever!
Great song
Born in '46, I grew up through the genesis of "Pop Music" Naturally I didn't hear it all, didn't like all that I heard, but this man had a voice and a talent for song writing which set him apart. I bought(and still have)his "City to City" album, and I can honestly say that it's the best album I ever bought, simply because there's not a bad track on it, it's an absolute gem of a record. Technology now gives all of us the option to just skip a track or two, or jump to some other artist on a whim. "City to City" is captivating from beginning to end, and because vinyl was where I started, it's still my favourite source. That album is still the only one which I will play from side to side without thinking that any track can be skipped. That's all...
Always loved listening to Gerry since the Stealers Wheel days. Sadly never saw him live. Baker Street was the biggie, but there were so many other good songs, including this one. Very good for the soul is Mr Rafferty.
Spot on Brother James Porter
Saw him live at the Edinburgh Playhouse in 1995. Best concert I've ever been to. One of the best, most underrated songwriters of all time. Up there with McCartney, Paul Simon, Elton John, etc imho. This is my favourite song of his.
flawed genius
Where has it all gone?
Down the Pan.
We played this at our wedding. My husband picked one song and this was it 💓💓💓
Such great music. A shy guy with incredible talent
72 and still listening in August 2021. Excellent song writing and music. RIP, Gerry. One of the very best.
One of my favorites songs in the whole wide world. I loved it the first time I heard it in 78. Around 10 years ago, my husband, kids and I were riding on a beautiful West Virginia backroad and this came on the radio. My kids were around 9 and 10, a little chatty from seeing new sights, and they both fell silent for the entire song. Great song.
My all time favorite Gerry Rafferty song. My wife and I love this song!
My favorite GR song, too. I love this song more than I love Baker Street, and I really love Baker Street.
I was obsessed with Slade in the early 70's, never thought any other band or singer would catch my attention, Gerry did, back in 78, I just married my long suffering wife, Doreen, still married, But anyway, this guys album City to city, brought us closer than ever, and we are still at it, so to speak, not so much at it as we once was, but we are still under the same roof, well, that's not bad is it, after 50 years, x
Such a beautiful pure voice.
great voice great scotsman the best
The light in our heart shows in our eyes where there is light there is life worth living December 26 2019
Hello Sandra, How are you doing?
