Winwood, Steve - Empty Pages Lyrics

steve can play the hell out of a Hammond B-3 - turn it up to eleven

Got turned on to S.W. & Traffic back in 1970..... I was all of 18 at the time & gotta say this Album just SPARKED from beginning to end.....

So Groovy

my whole life

djclay33-love this song-love basset hounds too!

Hard not to love both right?😁😁😁

Basset hounds are cool mutts

@Bill Barry beautiful companions!

This is one of my old fishin tunes

Apparently I'm etymologically challenged because I should have just said Amendment

I guess that's just a fancy English word for an addition thereto

Somebody put LSD in my tea I am a poet and I didn't know it

App end um scratch a comment about a penguin a minute pendulum LOL was that respectful enough did you get it apparently my phone is mildly retarded however it is supposed to be a smartphone

A pendulum a penguin a pendulum it was Stevie Winwood sorry folks I forgot I had Google LOL

Wasn't Stevie Winwood or Spencer Davis on vocals I don't remember?

Winwood

All too many years I had been staring at the empty pages

One of my favorite songs. This song and I'm a Man, i can listen to all the time.

no doubt. Superb musicianship.

Glad I was listening to bands like Traffic during the golden days of FM.

Even though this album came out before I started school I love it

I was a Junior in high school when this was out, 1970, now. Its 2019, this is such a great reflection song now.......💯❤

A great great "album"

🥰💃😊

What a joyful racket these three made!

My favorite album ever!

Traffic: Incomparável, inimitável e inesquecível.

Concordo amigo...Um saludo de Trento, Italia...Amo Brasil, seu Povo e sua musica....Ate' mais....Ciao

This song takes me back to the spring of '70... sitting in a Staten Island bar called Tarry's with a bunch of other 16 year olds who came over from Jersey to drink under age. This song was playing on the juke box... it didn't seem like life could ever be any better...

AVENGERS: ENDGAME

Nice graphic effect, too, buddy!

best groove ever...capaldi is right there

The keyboards is a lost part of the best times in music. I am a sucker for them.

Love this song and Traffic it's bring back such great time in my life.

One of the best songs in my lifetime !...I cannot get enough of Traffic. I heard this song for the first time when I was 16 years old !.....I play it to this day......on a turntable !

I'm also "Glad" that John Barlycorn did not die ..haha !

Windwood totally underataed ! Rock on Stevie!

man does this take me back to my teenage years.

Traffic is an all-timer for me. In the 70s, the two best white singers with serious soul to them were Winwood and Robert Palmer. The 80s made them both rich as they delved into pop, but they left their fervent passion behind. Shame. Legends.

Side note - the drums are killing it here. Stellar.

I loved Robert Palmer but if you want to talk serious I mean serious blue-eyed soul from the 70s and 80s you got to go with Gregg Allman and Daryl Hall seriously come on

Oh, man. I’ve been to a ton of Allmans shows over the years. Huge fan of them as well. The fact that they cranked out Duane, Betts, Haynes, and Derek Trucks is mind blowing.

Me gustan los videos publicados por ustedes GRACIAS MIL

That electric piano.......

Keyboarding to die for!🤣😆💫🌈❤️💙🤗😘😊🇺🇸

Just hats of... thats all here

I've been lost and forgotten but I got something to show show

Another timeless classic.

The whole band gets to jam on in this song. Dope!

Nothing but perfection and I thank God that I was born in 1959 and had the opportunity to have real friends and music to help guide me through my life if I didn't have it who knows where I would be now probably in a insane asylum if I had to listen to the shit that they call music now days that's all I have to share

Timeless classic album. Never gets old.

Forgot this gem!!! Traffic. Al Stewart. Dan Fogelberg. Zep. Host of others. I'm a teen in the 70s...so lucky!!! Experiencing best music and lyricmeisters!

THEY BOLDLY WENT WHERE NO BAND HAS BEEN OR SINCE--JAZZ-ROCK-FUSION

Killer song...

🌹🌹♥️♥️💋💋😤😤

This song caught my ear when I first heard it in the mid-70s on the Winwood album. It was different sound than what I was used - a relaxed groove, quite funky but in an understated way, and it's so damn catchy. The electric piano solo is so relaxed - and why wouldn't it be? And lyrics about writer's block - and, maybe, starting w/a clean slate - well, that was different too. Casual and honest.

Capaldi just so soulful on this.

This song does not get the love it deserves.

This whole album is very underrated. It's honestly one of the best albums out there.

Essa banda é incrível, adoro a voz desse cara é d++++++. Esse disco John Barleycorn perfeitooooo!!! Todas as composições são lindas, amo "Traffic"

One of the greatest bands of all time. This album is a masterpiece. The way Winwood, Capaldi, Wood & ,Mason(when was in the group) incorporated different musical forms was incredible.

Damn that Bass line is punchy.

Interestingly this was Traffic's biggest hit song in the US at least when they were a band. Not "Low Spark..." or "Dear Mr. Fantasy" both of which became classic rock station favorites. FYI- Saw Steve Winwood twice as a warm-up act in last five years he sounds great and plays lots of Traffic, highly recommended.

Why Steve Winwood and Traffic are legends

oh man that organ kills. Steve Windwood gots soul!

Love me some Traffic, Timeless!!!

Can't beat the keyboard solo, anywhere, great musicians all around. Stupendous!!!!

One of the best keyboard grooves in the Rock N Roll Stew.

Did someone say...MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!?

From a fantastic album that started out as a solo project and ended up pretty much a reunion album.  This is one of my favorite "Traffic" albums...the title track is amazing, and of course all the upbeat numbers included are truly wonderful.

Did the band members like to read?

One of the greatest rock grooves in history.

Creative channel with the color changes on the album cover. Or am I so high right now that I imagined it.

To the guy from WNEW Radio Fan Page....great upload!!
Ken

Thanks Ken😁. Easy with such great music.

One of all time faves. Winwood's voice, electric piano, Capaldi on drums organ --- planets aligned.

Perfect drumming

1994 DEAD TRAFFIC JAM VEGAS!

Starring at empty pages....

They were way ahead of their time.

One of Traffic’s finest album

Brilliant electric piano solo. Great song!

As usual, the bass line in this song elevates it to greatness.

what age was winwood doing this 16, 17 ? amazing voice

often lost and forgotten....story of my life

If one's receptors are in shape at 63, one can listen to empty pages on and on and write something in their head. Good one definitely.

Great group that I hadn't heard of until recently. Love that Hammond Organ! Thanks for posting.

He is the BEST

We are in november 2018 and I still hear it.

Love this song and band they don't make music like this now so sad

Traffic ... yeahhhh!!!!!!

Just the best. I remember listening to this in the early 1970s round my mates house and thinking that I would love Steve Winwood 's voice his piano , his organ, Dave Mason's drumming (v. important indeed) and rest of the band working overtime forever. Steely Dan, great band as they were, always recognised Traffic as an important influence and my goodness did they have influence with this album. One of the one and only jazz rock albums .

Joseph Bailey Dave Mason’s drumming? It’s Jim Capaldi on drums.

My mistake. What wonderful music and it  really is so long ago I  can't remember.

very simply class act, devoted family man, and still sounds exactly the same way today in 2018 as he did way back with 17 year old stevie winwood, and spencer davis rock n roll hall of fame should have a wing dedicated to him luv ya forever Stevie

Freshhhhhhhhh

Steve Winwood could’ve brought the British Invasion over by himself!

I had never heard of this song or group, until yesterday. They sound great! Love the Hammond Organ. Thanks for posting.

Look them up....one of the BEST!!!

Git on da stick son, THIS IS the shit!!......enjoy!!

PAGINAS VACIAS TRAFFICC QUE BELLA MUSICA

Bass line is excellent... progressive but with R&B grooves...

Capaldi,s hi hat is unbelievable

Great, great lp... what a band.. winwood has an AMAZING voice, among all the rest

Awesome album.

God, I love this song.....picks me up when i'm feeling down, so I got something to show!!!.....wish todays music had this artistry and musicianship...miss it....thank GOD for this!

A wonderful and most interesting tune, which by the way, swings like mad.
It's hard to imagine a song with no Guitar becoming such a huge hit at a time when Guitar oriented music ruled the airwaves but it took a group like Traffic to accomplish that. Structurally very simple but harmonically not necessarily what you would normally think. I hardly ever hear other bands attempt to play this and when they do they get it so unbelievably wrong.

What do say we start filling thos empty pages

One of the best bands of all~time

this takes me back to my college days!

luv the shuffle drums

this one too

This album andLow Spark of High Heeled Boys are Traffic at their best.
