The Seeds

Los Seeds surgieron a mediados de los años 60 cuando Sky Saxon se traslada a Los Angeles junto al guitarrista Jan Savage. Allí se unen al teclista Daryl Hooper y al batería Rick Andrige y fundan los Seeds.

Sus dos primeros Lps "The Seeds" (1966) y "A Web of Sound" (1966) son obras maestras del garage. Su tercer disco "Future" (1967) se adentra en la psicodelia y obtuvo peores resultados que los anteriores.

Bajo el nombre de The Sky Saxon Blues Band grabaron el disco "A Full Spoon Of Seedy Blues" (1968) y en 1969 publicaron "Raw And Alive", el cual es un falso directo. Estos dos discos no tuvieron una gran repercusión.

Actualmente Sky Saxon sigue girando con unos reformados Seeds y al parecer mantiene un buen nivel.

Este video es de una participación, de 1968, en un episodio del programa de televisión The Mothers-In-Law, en la cual tocan su gran éxito "Pushin' too hard". En el se puede ver al excéntrico Sky Saxon menear el pelucón desenfrenadamente.

Pushin' too hard

You're pushin' too hard, uh-pushin' on me
You're pushin' too hard, uh-what you want me to be
You're pushin' too hard about the things you say
You're pushin' too hard every night and day
You're pushin' too hard
Pushin' too hard on me (too hard)

Well all I want is to just be free
Live my life the way I wanna be
All I want is to just have fun
Live my life like it's just begun
But you're pushin' too hard
Pushin' too hard on me (too hard)

Well, better listen girl to what I'm tellin' you
You better listen girl, or we are through
You better stop all your foolin' around
Stop your runnin' all over town
'Cause you're pushin' too hard
Pushin' too hard on me (too hard)

Well I know there's a lotta fish in the sea
I know some would-uh stay by me
So if you don't think I'm gonna try
You better ask yourself the reason why
'Cause you're pushin' too hard
Pushin' too hard on me (too hard)

Pushin' too hard, pushin' too hard
Pushin' too hard, pushin' too hard
Pushin' too hard, pushin' too hard
Pushin' too hard on me (too hard)

Este vídeo es de alguna actuación en directo en algún programa de televisión.

I Can't Seem To Make You Mine

I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
You're flyin' around like a bee
Hurtin' everything you see
I tried everything I know
To make you wanna love me so
The only thing you do
Is try to put the hurt on me

Can't you see what you're doin' to me
You fill my heart with a misery
With every breath and step I take
I'm more in love with you

I can't go on like this
A little bit of love, not one kiss
I gotta have your love everyday
A love that's real that will stay
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
Can't you see what you're doin' to me
You fill my heart with a misery
With every breath and step I take
I'm more in love with you

I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
Come back, baby, to me
In My Misery
I give you love, not any day
Never ever go away
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
