Average White Band - Soul Searching Lyrics
Sometimes I'm lazy or maybe just holding back
Anyway it's hard to know the difference
Sometimes I get crazy
But if I do it doesn't matter, no no
What I'm doing is
Digging a little bit deeper everyday, everyday
Soul searching
Looking inside trying to find the way
That it all adds up to what I'm trying to say no no, yeah
It's nothing game about tired hope you get inspired
Got to find your imagination oh
All it needs is one spark to kindle fire within your body
So you see me really
Soul searching
Digging a little bit deeper everyday, everyday
Looking inside trying to find the way that it all adds up to what we have to say
And it ain't no harm in trying anyway, anyway
Sometimes we make music
Sometimes we make love
Still we keep on trying
Soul searching
Digging a little bit deeper everyday baby, everyday
Soul searching
Looking inside trying to find the way baby
Soul searching
Digging a little bit deeper everyday, everyday
That it all adds up to what we're trying to say
It's no use no use crying to yourself girl
No and it ain't no harm in trying anyway
What we're doing is soul searching searching searching

Someone needs to comment here in 2019! Still soul searching!!! I love you all, and also being an average white band is obviously not raaayyyycist! Gtfo with that nonsense! Peace and FUCKING love !
Still one of my favourite number.. Great sound.
Robbie was killing the drums ......
Thats Steve Ferrone on the drums

Wrek sent me,
Still Soul Searching....2019...
17 are soul searching
I had never heard this song before. I love it!
wooooohh this jam is top notch..takes me back as a kid in the late 70's
Great chorus and great vocals by Alan Gorrie. Awesome bridge and guitar solo.
Love it .Love the outro version even more.
This is Steve Ferrone. Robbie was on the white album. He died of an overdose. Steve came aboard on Cut the Cake.
They were personal friends
Stay Strong! Great song. Thanks for uploading. Check out my "Positive Music Vibes Radio" channel. Subscribe, shuffle, and enjoy! The message is in the music.
Excellent AWB CD
That's what's up y'all. !!!!
j'adore grave.
They definitely deserve an unsung episode
I remembered back in the middle 70s when I first heard this group on the radio I thought they were black. This legendary Band is from Scotland, and they know how to Jammm.
Most people thought they were..the pop lockers loved them
@Darhyl Lacy lolo as an average white man from dundee scotland the spiritual home of the AWB i knew they were white and i laugh my head off at the fact that many cool brothers had difficulty getting their heads around that fact , i think it pissed james brown off no end , they knew who they were/are and there love of american jazz funk and soul should make everyone smile ,theirs is the ultimate compliment to a wonderful style of music ,embraced to the max by average white scottish guys
@jim hutchison it never surprised me that they were not Americans. Your side of the globe has always embraced and respected Black oriented music to a higher degree than Many Americans have.
Pure.. deep...sounder R&B funk soul...This is a serious, crisp groove! Thank you AWB for this special album. When this album came out, it took the world by surprise and took us all on a much deeper appreciation of REAL music and musical instruments!
See these guys did their homework... It didn't matter about colours it was the funk that ppl wanted.
as someone who comes from scotland ,dundee in fact ,why do you guys keep going on about colour , its not about colour its the music that matters
Right:-)!
takes me back
:Love AWB . This is the talent many bands today lack. No computer generated sound here. Thank you Canada!
These guys were Scottish (in case you didn't know!)
canada ! WTF , nothing against canada , this music is made in scotland, , GLAD YOU LIKE IT AND YES THERE IS A LOT OF SCOTTSH ROOTS IN CANADA ,SO I FORGIVE YOU XXX
A.W.B. is tight. This is what u call music
Just plain funky y'all, nuff said!
Another hit by AWB💖💖
if u luv hiphop bus dem shots
i remember being 16 years old when this dropped in about 1976. after school, i went to newberry's dept store after getting off 9 smithfield transit & bought this album for $5.75. still got the album...not too worse for wear, you know...beer bottle rings on the cover, scratches, a few leftover seeds, frayed ends...you know...can remember all that ish but dont know where in the flip i last put my car keys....like album cover, like owner...
yo' uncle tinsley
been there, too, my man
btinsley1 I first heard this on 8- track
btinsley1 how. Cool. Boss
MrTeatreeoil now. That's. Old. School
So many memories on this gem...thanks...respect
Rest in peace, Robbie McIntosh, drums.
jazz4asahel rip Mr McIntosh!
robbie mcintosh died i nn 1974
better late than never
still one of the best!
3:02-3:18 is the best part
Rick Ross isn't the only one who's producers used this sample. It was First sampled by young chris' producers on the song named searching featuring wale. Check it out. The song is dope and the beat is actually way harder than the one rick Ross used. Look for young Chris feat wale searching. SUPER DOPE LYRICS AND THE BEAT IS CRAZY. in all honesty, I think who ever did Ross beat was directly influenced by the young Chris beat, more than just the sample alone
Todd Maek agreed but Ross version isn't shabby either but young Chris has the better version.
loved it when it first came out ,still love it , it stands my test of time , superb
There are still people who are trying to play this song on the drums he was the one and only ,
3:06 Rich is Gangsta nigga
👌👌
@JaeAmaze90 And 3:02
Omg....rick ross sampled this for rich is gangsta. Great sample and even better tune!
SHO-NUFF!✌
Did Rick Ross pay AWB for sampling there music?
WOW I was a 16 yr old living da sex,drugs and rock n roll life, how we survived I don't no, thanx 4 pos L78lancer, lots of memories
. . 1LL . .
AWB rocks! I remember being in college and the guy in the dorm room next to mine was playing "A Love of Your Own". I didn't believe they were white guy. Picked up their greatest hits album a few weeks later and have been a fan ever since. Good music is like fine wine: It gets better as time passes.
The best AWB album, by far, was "Soul Searching."
Wow! All thumbs up and NO thumbs down.
Absolutely no one can can not like this jam and the Average White Band. One of my favorite ALL time bands...when music was had MEANING. Who else agrees with this old time young DAWG?:)
Thanks for posting! As a child of the 70's I really enjoy finding these old tracks on YouTube. This was when we had actual music, where people sang and played instruments. I'm so glad I grew up in this era.
looking inside trying to find a way! always!!
♥♥♥
Me too!
great!
Thanx for the pos. This was and STILL is my favorite song by AWB!!! Thanx again!!!
Love the brass arrangements. Clean. Ferrone has feel to die for.
I completely agree...I've been waiting for this song as well....yessssssssssss! Thx bigtime!!!
