The Who - Pure and Easy



One of my favorite songs by The Who is "Pure and Easy." It was the centerpiece of Lifehouse, but for whatever reason was left off of Who's Next when the album was released in 1971. This recording, which was done by The Who in New York, was included on the deluxe edition of the album that was released in 2003. The song contains some of my favorite lyrics:

"There once was a note, pure and easy
Playing so free, like a breath rippling by
The note is eternal, I hear it, it sees me
Forever we blend and forever we die."

Later on in the song:

"We all know success when we all find our own dreams
And our love is enough to knock down any wall
And the future's been seen as men try to realize
The simple secret of the note in us all....in us all."
