This is NOT an analysis of a song, merely personal observations about a song that I love. Enjoy. Baba O'Riley by The Who From it's amazing manually played keyboard start, the opening track from the Who's iconic "Who's Next" album is a gem. It was originally written as part of Pete Townshend's stalled Lifehouse Project whose songs form the backbone of the 1971 album. The odd name in the title is combination of the names of two of Townshend's philosophical and musical influences, Meher Baba and Terry Riley. Of course, the track features great vocals from Roger Daltrey, bass from John Entwistle and drums from Keith Moon. I have written about The Who elsewhere on my site <click here for more> "Don't cry Don't raise your eye It's only teenage wasteland" "The exodus is here The happy ones are near Let's get together Before we get much older" "Baba O'Riley"
by Pete Townshend and The Who Out here in the fields I fight for my meals I get my back into my living I don't need to fight To prove I'm right I don't need to be forgiven Don't cry Don't raise your eye It's only teenage wasteland Sally ,take my hand Travel south crossland Put out the fire Don't look past my shoulder The exodus is here The happy ones are near Let's get together Before we get much older Teenage wasteland It's only teenage wasteland Teenage wasteland Oh, oh Teenage wasteland They're all wasted!
