Today we bring you - "Don't Look Back," written by John Lee Hooker, performed by Them featuring a young Van Morrison. I don't think I've ever heard the Hooker version, but this recording has haunted me for a LONG time. It's the musical version of "my mind says no, but my body says yes," if you know what I mean. The lyrics and the music are sending two different messages here with the music usually winning out. How could you not look back?
Listen to the song here.
Sing along:
Don't look back
To the days of yester-year
You cannot live on in the past
Don't look back
An' I've known so many people
They're still tryin' to live on in the past
Don't look back, whoa no-oh
If I could call back
All those days of yester-year
I would never grow old
And I'd never be poor
But darlin', those days are gone
Oh yeah
Stop dreaming
And live on in the future
But darlin', a-don't look back
Whoa, no-no
Don't look back
