Lyrics:
Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
'Cause I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothin's gonna come my way
So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes
Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home
Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Oooo-wee, sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

This song was finished up in the studio just 3 days before Redding was killed in a plane crash. What a parting gift from the king of soul.
That's why the last verse is whistling he was supposed to come back and add a verse.
Overrated
@@beaconlight4720 that's your perspective.
Dudes a legend👏🏼
Yes - a parting gift from Otis after his shocking death - so melancholy yet so much strength & determination despite all
It was my junior year in college. I had just signed on the dotted line to commit myself to Navy flight school and six years of active duty, right at the height of the Vietnam war. I signed the contract with the Navy recruiter while in the student center at college. After we shook hands, I walked away and sat down at a table alone. Now, I have to go home and tell my parents what I have done. This song came on the jukebox. It was September 14, 1968
Thank you for your service
Terry Price Thank you for your service 🇺🇸
Welcome home, Terry.
Thank you for your service. 💪🏻
Welcome home Terry.
😢only 26 damn Rest in Love Otis Redding......when this song plays I sit still and think of you!!!!!!
Was a 19 years trooper in South Vietnam when this came out. I'm 75 years old now and still remember this music like it was yesterday.
My Uncle Gray was in Tam Key around 1968-69 USMC

Thank you for your service.
Thanks for your service brother
Thank you for your service to our great nation!
The people who disliked this arent allowed to sit by the bay
They've clearly never sat on the Dock of the bay just wasting time
😂😂😂🖤🖤🖤
😂
Amen the brother!!!!!
Lol
My brother was 19 years old when he was killed in a head on. This was one of his favourite songs and for years I couldn’t stand to hear it . But now I find it quite comforting.
💙
💕
Thanks Mark, I guess in these surreal times it’s good to have nice memories, even though they may be tinged with sadness, whoever you may have lost is always with you 💙🙏
I understand brother. I lost my brother a few years ago...hurts..
💙🙏🏼
This reminds me of sitting by the harbour wall in Singapore 1968, watching the ships as a teenager. Very nostalgic , always made me long for being back home every time I heard it. A masterpiece.
I am 16 years old as of now, I was on a trip to Turkey with my parents. My grandma had terminal cancer when we departed but she was doing fine 'till then. Midway through our vacation we got a call from my dad's sister, Grandma was dying. I felt disgusted with myself 'why did I leave when my gramps could die any moment?'. I ran out of the room to the 'dock of the bay', I put this song on repeat as it was already the song that comforted me with the whole situation going on. After about ten minutes sitting on the edge of the pier staring into the pitch black sea a cat came to me. It sought my attention and sat on my lap. At that exact moment my mom texted me saying grandma had passed away. I couldn't be more at peace with myself. Thank you Otis
I'm glad you enjoyed this gem of a song. It got you through that rough patch, and I hope you're doing better man. Love bro🤙
Godspeed
That’s an inspiring story thank you for sharing.
"The Beautiful Mountain That Is Dragon Springs
This beautiful mountain villa that is Dragon Springs
Is where we matured into men and women
With its verdant hills and crystal waters,
its songs of birds and aromatic flowers
The pagoda’s bells ring out through the sacred grounds
Youthful students in the classrooms leave a fine example,
with all their talents and grace-
Peerless artists of Shen Yun in the making
Laughing, singing, and reading together,
they spread beautiful dance and music near and far
In this troubled world ’tis truly a City of the Gods
2018
***
Faeries Aflight
The bright moon hangs from the vault of heaven
Beautiful towers and vast halls highlight a beauteous flock
Heaven and Earth are illumined, enhancing the scene
With steps soft and graceful, they whirl sleeves long
Twisting, turning, spreading, closing-these flying faeries
Aerials and swallow jumps that best the greatest dancers
Accompanied by music, the dance itself becomes melodic
With a beauty elevated still more by their grace
January 2, 2016
***
The Wait of a Thousand Autumns
Heaven’s faeries float down, dancing with elegance
Beautiful and agile, with coiffures simply divine
Moving to and fro, they exude a myriad charms
With but a smiling glance backwards,
they put the world’s flowers to shame
Spinning, turning, whirling, twirling,
they land their aerial leaps ever so lightly
Stepping so slowly, they come to a halt,
yet the beauty does not stop there
The music and dance call out to your true nature
For this one performance you’ve awaited
a thousand autumns
October 27, 2016"

Otis died when he was 26 guys. that is so young. imagine what else he would have produced in his lifetime.
Otis has a grandson that looks just like him RIP Big O
Yes so young! 😞😞😞 rip Otis and everyone who lost their life from plane accident
He died just 3 days after re-recording this song too :(
would have*
@@tabbylove3772 Yeah, his band members were like 18 and 19. A bunch of young people. RIP😥
I was playing this and my girlfriend told me she thought I was "gonna play good music". This might be a bump in the road
Luciano Cappellano dump her
@@tannerricky77 Dat escalated quickly /:
@@Z0MBUSTER nah it's a proportionate response
Sounds like a defective product you should send for a replacement.
Play Fleetwood's, "Go Your Own" and see if she likes that better!!!!
Otis recorded this the week before he died in a plane crash. You're gone but your voice lives on. RIP my dude.
Great song,May Otis Redding,RIP
This was my wife and my song at our wedding, Judy passed away last year and our lives have changed in many ways. One thing is for certain she is missed. RIP my Baby
Much love and respect Sir. She’s enjoying his live performances now with a smile on her face
🙏
This is not a wedding song, this is I'm about to kill myself song, sorry to hear about your wife but that's a bad choice for a wedding song.
@@countys32 you must have some type of mental deficiency to be typing this it’s a beautiful wedding song
What makes you think this is a suicide song?@@countys32
My grandma use to play this song growing up... I remember waking up on Saturday mornings .. smelling good food being made & this song on full blast... Its 2018 now and she has dementia and doesn't even remember me....but soon as I play this song I remember the good times... I love you grandma....Thank you for all the knowledge you gave me.
Play this song for her. Music is very therapeutic for people with dementia.
Heard people with dementia might recognize old songs. You should try playing it for her
please give her a kiss from me and tell her I love her...
Play it to her
iLLDREWMUSiC same me and my grandma used to smoke pot with this music and cook breakfast

RIP GREAT ONES!
Dont forget about barry white
Dont forget Bill Withers..81💔
Damn he was only one year away from the 27 club
❤❤❤❤
And now Little Richard too :(
This was one of my brother Frank's favorite songs. He's been dead for sometime now.
I miss him dearly. May is your month. RIP sweet brother. 🕊
My husband loved this song. Two weeks before he passed away he kept playing this song. He loved the ocean ❤ and I remember him whistling at the end of this song.
We are soooo lucky that Otis recorded this just a days before he passed away.
I have heard this my whole life and just found out about his untimely death.
Just imagine, if it was complete. Otis whistles the 3rd verse, intent on returning to the studio to fill in the lyrics. A plane crash cuts that short, and the "whistling verse" becomes a part of his legacy.
We're so lucky Otis deco
Rip Otis. Steve Cropper plays with him on it he helped put the touches on this masterpiece
@@fogodechow7735 Steve Cropper gets a co-composers' credit on all the sheet music I have.
Nothing brought me here. I'm here to listen to a legend sing.
heeeey now

SO TRUE
steven peter same
Absolutely!
He never got to see the happiness this sad song gave. I hope he found peace
My son had great taste in music. An old soul. He loved this song when je was a kid. I played it at his funeral. He was 15 ❤ i miss him.
Sorry for your loss!
❤
Dang! 15 is pretty young. Sorry for your loss.
My grandma just passed from dementia and blood cancer. This was the last song she wanted to hear before she passed... At least grandma was ballin will good music..lol

condolences
passed away grandma with great taste in music; respect & r.i.p
Bless
i am sorry about loss mate take care love
“Sitting here resting my bones, and this loneliness won’t leave me alone.”
One of the most powerful lines I’ve ever heard in a song. R.I.P. to this LEGEND
He's definitely one of the greats. This song relaxes me. 😌😌😌🌊🌊🌊
Me too
That's what I am doing, trying to shake a sense of despair and directionless. The seagull's call is especially mournful now. "Just wastin' time..."
Kel Mohror I hope your despair has left you and you now feel a purpose in life.
im 85 and still like this music. old army retired
My name‘s Otis which is very rare here in Switzerland. My parents named me after this legend!
This is one of my 85-year-old father’s favorite songs. Dad still going strong. Still listening to Otis Redding and Jimmy Reed and B.B. King. A lot of different music, but those are his favorites 💚✌🏼
My dad chose this song to be played at his funeral, so we did 💔
🙏
I know I’m a complete stranger but sorry for your loss. Remember only the good times and smile in his remembrance. Much love and good vibes being sent your way.
Jacob Best thank you
Condolences & take your time in your grief. You knew him for a lifetime.
R. I. P
10 years ago my dad passed away this was one of his favourite songs it played at his funeral everytime I listen it has me in tears miss you dad ♥
Respect to u lad keep u head up 👑

My uncle love this song too
I am 81 and walk on an island near where I live and “rest my bones” halfway through my walk and dangle my feet in the water and think of this wonderful song. RIP
Those who don't love this have no heart nor soul. THIS IS A CLASSIC!!
This song transcends time and should still be nominated for Grammys every year.
Amen this song is in my heart still and has a special meaning to me helped me through my life

# Real Talk
Thank you.
I'm an older white woman in Pennsylvania. My parents gave me a radio, and I listened to a station called Starview at the time. The first record I ever purchased was Otis Redding, "On the dock of the bay." He left us with magic!
I am 75 years old and a Viet Nam vet. USMC Nam 68-69 THIS WAS MY COMING HOME SONG. It brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. I just gave $20 tip at a bar in Fl to an artist who sang this.
I just love so hate what this song does to me. Every time I hear it I am back it Nam and I tear up. Damn Otis I wish you were still with us , you were there for all of in Nam
Otis Redding isn't dead. He's out there somewhere, probably sitting on the Dock of the bay, and wasting time.
Check out the song stuck in my ways
Sitting on the dock of the bay isn’t a waste of time though
@@lemon420 neither is stuck in my ways
@@lemon420 but that's my opinion I'm not going to argue with you about it.
@@lemon420 never said it was it's actually one of my favorite songs that I listen to daily
I was a 19 year old trooper in South Vietnam in 1968. I'm now 75 and still feel the beat of this awesome song.
Thank you for your service🙏🏽
Did y'all listen to this overseas on the bases? & what songs from back then did you hear alot on the radio in Vietnam? Temptations? Marvin Gaye?
@@Jay-T283 Armed Forces Radio was our primary source of music in Nam. This was the closest thing we had to being home.
@@JamesLewis-mp9zn Yeaa I know but I was asking what was playing on the radio if you can remember
@@Jay-T283 They played a lot of Motown artist and every other group/band that were big then regardless of ethic or race. You name it they were on the air and reach every service member worldwide. No one was left behind.
One of the greatest songs ever written and one of the best of the 1960's. Call it what you will, pop, blues, soul, it doesn't matter, "Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay" will always be a classic. Thank you Oits Redding for giving the world this wonderful song.
💯👍
I was 12 in I liked this song
🤩
👏👏👍🏻👍🏻❤❤🇧🇪
Who cares about all this fake as songs like I’m done listening to this Shit
Now he literally sits on the Doc of the Bay in spirit.
he was just 26 years old when he died in a plane crash, he seem so much older, thank God for the great music he left us.
Amen

@@katekatseli2915 dont you know 99% of suicides are caused by something else and all the people in his/her life....and their family and friends and the powers behind the scenes will always deny but the real know
2 days after recording this ☹️
He was. 10 December 1967. A terrible misfortune, but he was uncommonly good.
My dad and I sitting in the living room in a power outtage back in 1998. Just singing this song. He's gone now but when I hear this song I go back to that moment of us singing with a candle burning away in the darkness.
Bless your heart and your dads. Sounds like you had a great father and kool too.
Thank you for sharing that.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful♥️ your dad is so proud of you and guiding you along your journey of life, your own guardian angel 🪽✨💫

Sitting on the cliff with a cigarette and bottle of Guinness in Ireland. I resonate with this song it's absolutely fantastic. Love from the green island ❤️🇮🇪
this is the song I want to relax to when the world ends
Lol nice one.
same
idiots
John Srigley don't belikethat
cringey af comment
It's strange how as a youth, we remember songs like this with much fondness. Then we live a life and realize, as kids, we didn't have a clue what the lyrics were saying. As an adult, we hear it with much different ears. It's such an incredibly sad song.
MissDistarr60 Well said.
Yes! My mother loved this song and Otis Redding. Every time I hear this song it takes me back to Saturday morning, cleaning the house with my four, brothers laughing, dancing and cutting up! GOOD OL DAYS!!!:-)
MissDistarr60
Is is an incapable truth for anyone's who hits the elderly stage for sure!
It was such a soothing, peaceful song, back then. Now, it's sad. So sad.
Cynthia Nicola Exactly:( In our youth we wear "Rose Colored Glasses" and our view of the world is so incredibly different. We grow up and lose those glasses and our perception of the world drastically changes.....as does the music. Not usually a sad thing, but in this case it certainly is.
I never get tired of listening to this song. It's a classic.
Otis remains the man after all these years… he was and will be my friend sitting on the dock of the bay. Life taken to soon, God bless him.
I showed my best friend this song when we were 15 years old. He loved it. We listened to it driving all the time. He died 8 years ago and I will never hear this song the same way again. They played his top 3 most played songs on his phone at his funeral, and this was the most frequently played song. I will never stop hurting from the loss, but I will always have this song.
You still have the pain Chris but your heart is full of love for your friend
This is the reason why I'm glad to be human, because we are able to have this kind of feelings and thoughts... thanks for sharing this touching memory.
Cheers brother, sorry for your loss
That’s beautiful.
…hey, at least he was remembered. More than I’ll have
I apologize for my shaky English. There are songs that speak directly to your heart, like this one. You don't listen to such songs; you just feel them on your skin like chills. This song is so poignant ( do you say so?)
Your English here isn't shaky at all. You type better than a good bit of fluent speakers
When you feel the music,English Italian or whatever you speak doesn’t matter,sit back have a glass of wine,enjoy.
@@irok1 Thank you very much. Unfortunately I can type English, but I speak it with thick Italian accent
@@giovannigino3675 That’s ok ,happy you enjoy our music.
Your English spelling is better than most English commenters on CZcams 👌
This is Otis Redding's finest and most beautiful song ever written, rest in peace and thank you for your time and lovely music
Who’s still listening to this !!!
Interesting fact: The reason there is just whistling in a part of the lyrics is because he died in a plane crash 3 days after he recorded this song. He had planned to fill in the whistling with more lyrics...
Wouldn't've been the same, would it?
I also heard the same thing. The producer I think was on some show and said that very rhing. So I think it may be true.
right on
:))
That's the reason i am here because i read that fact
This was one of my late husband's favourite songs. He passed away suddenly on our honeymoon in the Maldives so I went to San Francisco and scattered some of his ashes in the bay San Francisco as he visited there as a merchant seaman
Aww huni sorry to hear that
Yes honey.....4 years ago today since our wedding and you did not survive our honeymoon Ken..... not a sob story....just so sad. Liz xx
Well he ain't your husband anymore. Hope you are ok.
Mr Big O , was 1 of the greatest Soul Singers ever
Hello! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day. Stay Safe
It’s one of the greatest songs ever and nobody can deny it!
How can a human being not like this song it's a timeless classic
If you were born with a golden spoon in your mouth and could do whatever you wanted and never had any serious setbacks, this song would be meaningless. Sadly not meaningless for me. I listen to it often.
Music is so personal. I wonder why people cry to Ed sheeran songs but clearly they mean something to them. Waylon is my favourite and he gets slagged to hell for being mostly a cover artist.
True! First time I heard it I thought "Wow, this guy's voice is excellent" then at 0:30 when the guitar kinda bounces around a bit I knew it was making the playlist. Still playing it years later. It really is a lovely song.
Maybe they’re scared of the water
That's totally fine tbh. There's a lot of classics it took me 20+ years to warm up to. Even if you don't like this song now, I have a feeling you some day will. Just a guess, though! @@aleksa-eq
this is the best song ever. Every lonely soul can relate. Everyone looking for freedom of mind, everyone looking at the horizon, knowing there is more, we are all together listening
How beautiful :)
🔆💛🇧🇷
man don't make me cry
We all are just walking each other home. So put one foot in front of the other and watch for the angels who walk among us
YES!!!!!!❤
I was just up in Sausalito, first time in years, and I never fail to think of this Otis Redding classic when I'm there. "The soul singer Otis Redding had come to San Francisco in August of 1967 for a six-night gig at Basin Street West. According to Jonathan Gould, a Redding biographer, the rock promoter Bill Graham offered Redding the use of his houseboat in Sausalito, on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge. ... While relaxing on the boat, Redding is said to have strummed a guitar and come up with these words." (The California Sun) What a tragedy. He had so much more to give the world.
I'm 35. Even my dad is stunned that I listen to music of this age.
I feel very sorry for the current 988 people that downvoted this.
ok
Sad people that hate enjoy life probably
got myself in some shit and got locked up when I was a dumb teenager, we had this on a 45 to listen to and it got us through many, many days.
What is a 45?
Loxyx it was a record single. one song on each side. called a 45 because it was played at 45 rpm's.
My brother adored this stunning, story-telling song when we were kids. He's gone now; since May/2020 from Covid-19. I KNOW he's sitting with Otis on a dock somewhere~~~ON HIGH.
❤️
What a story! Sorry for your loss. Considering his musical taste your brother must have been a great guy!
@@juliocruz2945 Thank you, Julio. Yes, he was quite a gentle man.
@@juliocruz2945 Thank you, Julio! He and Otis are up there~crusin' the waters of Heaven!
How ironic, I love this song! My name is Terry, and my birthday is September 14, 1956. Also thank you for your service. I have a son that's active duty now (Fort Campbell, Ky).
Can’t believe this song that I’ve always loved was sung by Otis so long ago - seems like yesterday. Thanks beautiful ☺️
One of the most chilled songs ever written, and always sticks with me, home Otis sings the word (I lef my.)."home"..(in Georgia), ..always felt that word had a lot buried in some emotion.
came of a (dutch) coffee ad... Asked my mom what the song was and now im here!
best song ever
Mine was a NZ coffee ad
he matie ik ook zene just gezien
this songs means so much to me
same! but I'm Norwegian tho and we probably had the same ad!
There's nothing I can say bad about this song.
That's Y I'm still listening to it in 2021.
Same! One of my absolute favorites
Amen
This song has ALWAYS brought me peace and calm! Great music doesn't die
Same! 🌉❤️❤️👍
Always we love u
Fun fact: Otis Redding wrote this song in late 1967 after relaxing from his rock concerts in San Francisco --they were a smashing success. Redding spent time in Sausalito and decided to write some lines while enjoying his leisure watching the boats. When he got back to Memphis, he took his lines and recorded "Sitting at the Dock of the Bay." Three days later, he died in a plane crash, the first to ever receive a posthumous #1 on the billboards.
Even though I am 13 years old I can still appreciate the simple enjoyment deprived from this song.
This is the purest song in history. One of the few songs I would consider "perfect".
and yet, unfinnished
Nicholas Gordon
Louie Armstrong - what a wonderful world is the only song I can think of to match this master piece
@@apollo5458 I would agree with that sentiment. Both are completely timeless.
Respect girl. Any other standouts youd pick?
Palmer Churchill
Bill withers - lean on me . Most definitely another very cool classic
Also - use me , is another bill withers song i like a lot and ain’t no sunshine as well
Rest In Peace Forever Otis Redding

When my husband was here before he left to heaven. He was terribly sick for years. But he kept going and never complained. When he didn't feel well I would play this song. He would sing and dance with me. Ty Otis
The Rock Hall of Fame has pieces of the airplane....I literally choked up and bowed. This man would LOVE how his song has traversed all the souls who commented.
A timeless classic. RIP Otis, we're still enjoying your music after all these years.

💖Love this!
We always will
This has got to be one fantastic song and singer, SO sad these great talents leave us too soon RIP Otis, but your never forgotten 2024 and we are still listening to you ❤
This voice was out of this world. He recorded this when he was 25 and sounded like a wise elder kicking wisdom
He actually recorded this song 3 days before his death. He was only 26 years old... RIP Otis...
55 years ago today. Thanks for an all time classic song. RIP my friend...

This is definitely one of my favorites number-ones of all time
There will never be another Otis Redding
+dershope omg! Finally someone who knows Leon Bridges, his music is amazing!
hes not that obscure anymore lol and rightfully so
you know that's right
listen to Paolo Nutini
by no means am I saying he's close to Otis Redding, just a familiar sound.
One day, I will be reunited with my Dad, and we will sit on the Dock of the Bay 😢🫡
❤❤ nobody can ever beat the best woman in the game peace be w you 💖 RIP YOUR NOT FORGOTTEN BY US LONELY WOMAN 👠
God bless Otis Redding! 72 and I still love this song from when I was a teenager! 💗💗💗👍👍👍
Me too 70
Oh yeah ❤❤❤

A young girl loved Otis Redding long ago and love him and that sensual kind voice right now, today more than ever. A 68 yr young heart and I will be listening from beyond one day. Love you Sweet Otis!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤️
My grandma used to turn this song up in the car, sing and whistle along. She was amazing
This was the song I was listening to on the radio with my grandma, on one of her last days. Transcendent song
Everybody turns this up :)
early memory very clear--me--wee one--my dad playing this song on a box record player... precious
Had not heard this master piece in many years. Start crying, thinking "WHAT A LOSE" to all of US fans. This beautiful soul - full song brings back many Good Memories of good times to person very alone, old and tired as Mama Earth. But my buddy 'Sonny B.' told me to Keep Looking Forward, Always --C.J. So I do!!
"I've had nothing to live for. Looked like nothing's gonna come my way."
I hear you, Otis. :(
Na man you got everything to live for
I just. Love oldies & sitting on the Dock of the bay..that's for my sister Glenda she loved that song..R . I . P.......SISTER"S.
It hurts when I still hear that part of the song
@@boxingbull523 I am surprised I get up each morning
@@eddygsmusicworld1708 whys that?
To think that this song was technically never completed is simply amazing because it's perfect the way it is. It's so visceral and you can feel his emotions pouring through every word and note he sings.
His guitarist Steve Cropper finished the record with overdubs, mixing. Somewhere on CZcams there's a video of him talking about it.
Did you know he made this song 2 days before he passed? The whistle is a placeholder for him to finish😞
To think the whistling was to be removed on the next recording that never came to be. Rest In Peace Otis.
@@shabbaranks248 makes sense now as to why the song was so short…..never knew that.
@@giovanna722Yeah, but Otis was not there anymore to complete his vocals, unfortunately. Even his whistling is on point.
This was played by the rock stations back in the 70's and 80's, and everybody loved it! I still look it up when I am needing some good music to listen to. RIP Otis Redding.
My grandpa favorite song and I understand why now 40 years 😢❤❤❤
In 2022, still loving this song. Timeless...

Same here this a master piece. R.I.P to this legend
Here with you'll
It's an awesome song
This song will be loved forever...
why 1k dislikes? this is really music.
Should be a buggy bot
This song helps me decompress when I’m stressed. I probably listen to it too often lol.
Gen Z here to approve that this song is indeed a timeless masterpiece.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👌🏼
agree i once felt burnt out and i listened to this and after that i felt completly calm
This song is a soul classic. It was Otis Redding' s last recording just 3 days before he was killed in that horrible plane crash. Otis Redding was only 26 years old. He is missed by many all over the world.
Thank you Sherlock.
It's an all time music classic too

Thanks o from h
After recording this song,He was killed 72 hours by plane crash.
@@Ploddingalong67 Infantile twat
It’s 2024 and songs suddenly pop into my head. I grew up listening to this amazing music. I think as we age it makes us quite nostalgic for our teen and younger years. And to think back on family and friends that we have lost. ❤ RIP Otis
“Sitting here resting my bones and this loneliness won’t leave me alone. Yes. 2000 miles I roam just to make this dock my home”
This is a song that i can sit listening too on a river bank just fishing as the whole world passes by in its madness and fast pace craziness. This song is just....peaceful.
Totally agree
People don't appreciate the real songs that have a lot of meaning.

How genuinely sweet. Thanks
#1 for the late Great Otis Redding 😊
The assistant instructor at my trade school introduced me to Otis Redding. I’d like to thank her for it. Having grown up entirely on Country and Classic Rock, I had no idea who he was until then. And I’m one who likes all kinds of music genres. Otis is now one of my all time favorite old school musicians.
you won't find a better song to wake up to in the morning, believe me
I heard that.
Unless it's Try a Little Tenderness, my favorite Otis song.
Absolutely.
Such a depressing song. How would you wake up into that?
@Teo Vokes 66 look into the lyrics and say again what you just wrote.
