An unreleased Jackson Song recorded in March of 1968
at Elektra Record Producer Peter Siegel's Manhattan Apartment.
The Original Tape probably no longer exists and this take is
from a rather worn Acetate.
Jackson would use the Bridge in this Song for His later "Late Show"
from his third album.
I am a major collector of early Jackson Recordings.
There are only two songs of His that I have never
located versions of Him Performing. They are:
"Taking So Long" & "Have I Seen Her?"
If anyone viewing this Video has Either Song, I
would Deeply appreciate contacting Me, Thanks.
SOME KIND OF FRIEND
(by Jackson Browne)
You've seen me wandering slowly
By watching the sky
You've heard me whispering to the sun
Do you see anyone close to me?
Could there be?
Look and see
Don't leave me standing here
You've heard me cry to the wind
Just send me some kind of friend
Well I've been flying all around in circles
In a dark and stormy sky
And I've noticed all the upturned faces
And all the people who would like to try and fly like me
It looks so easy
I'm so tired
Of all this circling
And all these glimpses of the end
All my voices say
You'll go right on circling
Until you've found some kind of friend
Well I've been living on a live volcano
In the middle of a burning sea
And I've been trying just to laugh about
The way it seems to be
Only me
You know I've dreamed to be the dragon
Who could live among these flames
And as I look into the mirror for the dragon
I can see only me
I'm gonna find you in the forest
I'm gonna take you by the hand
I'm gonna lead you to the muddy lagoon
I'm gonna seize you in the shadows
I'm gonna look into your eyes
I'm gonna fly you to the dark side of the moon
And you can run into the desert
You can run into the sea
But in the end I think you'll come
With me
