Steve Winwood - While You See A Chance

Uploaded by: ussodyssey
Video Description:
An amazing song from Steve Winwood's 1980 album "Arc Of A Diver"
-In this classic 1981 hit "While You See a Chance", in a stanza where Steve sings "And that old gray wind is blowing and there's nothing left worth knowing," Winwood accidentally overdubs "nothing left..." with "no one left..." -The entire track was thrown together in a relatively quick fashion,
and at one point Winwood accidentally deleted the drum track introduction in preparation for vocals. The keyboard introduction that he composed on the spot to replace it is now iconic. -According to co-writer, Will Jennings... "The lyric of the song is about realizing that you are all alone in t
his life and you have to do with it what you can. There's an old English expression called "Fake it till you make it." If you don't have romance in your life, meaning in the broader sense, really, something to make life interesting, just imagine it until it's there." -Steve recorded it in his own
studio in Gloucestershire UK. He played virtually all the instruments on the album. The mastering engineer had to crank a whole lot of bass onto the final tape as it was bass light, probably due to Winwood's studio monitors being bass heavy. -Many radio stations, when the song was released, played
the video version of the single which was quite noticeable for the edit near half way during the song. It is believed to have been done this way as the song in full runs for over five minutes. For more info checkout his official websites http://www.stevewinwood.com/ http://www.myspace.com/1657
44497 lyrics: "Stand up in a clear blue morning until you see what can be Alone in a cold day dawning, are you still free? can you be? When some cold tomorrow finds you, when some sad old dream reminds you How the endless road unwinds you While you see a chance take it, find romance fake it Be
cause its all on you Dont you know by now no one gives you anything Dont you wonder how you keep on moving one more day your way When theres no one left to leave you, even you dont quite believe you Thats when nothing can deceive you Stand up in a clear blue morning until you see what can be Alon
e in a cold day dawning, are you still free? can you be? And that old gray wind is blowing and theres nothing left worth knowing And its time you should be going"
