Gentle Giant "Betcha Thought We Couldn't Do It" (Remix by Steven Wilson)
Gentle Giant | "Betcha Thought We Couldn't Do It" (Remix bySteven Wilson Remix)
Order: linktr.ee/gentlegiantband
Produced by Cantera Studio & Studio Liftmuziek
Lyrics:
I betcha thought we couldn't do it
And if you did we wouldn't try
I betcha thought we couldn't do it
But if we didn't we would die
We built our house stone by stone
Little help, we were on our own
Made the town, torn it down
Now you know, tell me how it feels
I betcha thought we couldn't do it
And if you did we wouldn't try
I betcha thought we couldn't do it
But if we didn't we would die
We've been waiting such a long long time
To fit the pattern, fill the rhyme
Now we can't stick in our old ways
Now it's out we'll see how you feel
I betcha thought we couldn't do it
And if you did we wouldn't try
I betcha thought we couldn't do it
But if we didn't we would die

    Ray Shulman, one of my all time favorite BEST BASSISTS EVER! Incredible musician, perfect timing. His bass lines are so intricate, melodic, intense & beautiful. 1st time I heard HIS LAST VOYAGE, to this day it’s a stellar masterpiece. No one sounds like Ray… he’s one of a kind.. I was lucky to see GENTLE GIANT IN SEATTLE in the early 70’s.

    Every band/artist changes their sound throughout their careers. It's childish to think GG could keep playing that intricate mix of blues, hard rock and medieval music for 10 years straight. I like every phase of the group and even enjoy Missing Piece, Giant for a Day and Civilian. GG's "mediocre" stuff is still above most artists of that period and certainly light-years away from anything now.

    I remember buying this album the first day it was in the record stores. I was horrified that my favorite band were playing prosaic commercial garbage like this song. I knew it was the end and then they really sunk to the bottom with Giant for a Day. I can’t blame them for wanting to make money and they are still one of my all-time favorites. Saw them three times and still treasure their first eight albums.

      I remember reading an interview with the great Ray Shulman, and he said that this was done as their joke (nod and wink) to the punk scene that was going on in the U.K. at that time. No matter how good of a player/composer you are, you still start with the basic rock/blues basics and these guys, like many prog. bands, took music to a whole new level...fantastic stuff !!!
