| Video Discription | According to Wikipedia: "I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home)" is an epic 1970 song written by American musician Mark Farner and recorded by Grand Funk Railroad as the closing track to their album Closer to Home. Ten minutes in duration, it is the band's longest studio recording. One of the group's best-known songs, it is composed as two distinct but closely related movements. Its title has been rendered in various ways across many different Grand Funk albums, including "I'm Your Captain", "I'm Your Captain/Closer to Home", "Closer to Home/I'm Your Captain", "Closer to Home (I'm Your Captain)", and "Closer to Home".[1] The song conveys the pleas of a captain on a troubled sea voyage and facing a mutiny from his crew. Its use of an orchestra during the long repeated refrains of the closing movement served to differentiate it from much of Grand Funk's work. Several interpretations of the song have been given; most revolve around the Vietnam War, and "I'm Your Captain" is popular among veterans of that conflict. The record was a modest hit single when first released, but achieved greater airplay on progressive rock radio stations. It has become a classic rock staple and has appeared on several audience-selected lists as one of the best rock songs of all time. Lyrics: Everybody listen to me And return me, my ship I'm your captain, I'm your captain Though I'm feeling mighty sick I've been lost now, days uncounted And it's months since I've seen home Can you hear me, can you hear me Or am I all alone? If you return me to my home port I will kiss you, mother Earth Take me back now, take me back now To the port of my birth Am I in my cabin dreaming Or are you really scheming To take my ship away from me You'd better think about it I just can't live without it So please don't take My ship from me Yeah, yeah, yeah I can feel the hand of a stranger And it tightening around my throat Heaven help me, heaven help me Take this stranger, from my boat I'm your captain, I'm your captain Though I'm feeling mighty sick Everybody, listen to me And return me, my ship I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I'm getting closer to my home I'm getting closer to my home |
