Everybody, listen to me
And return me my ship
I'm your captain, I'm your captain
Though I'm feeling mighty sick

I've been lost now for days uncounted
And it's months since I've seen home
Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
Or am I all alone?

If you return me to my home port
I will kiss you, Mother Earth
Take me back now, take me back now
To the port of my birth

Am I in my cabin dreaming?
Or are you really scheming
To take my ship away from me?
You'd better think about it
I just can't live without it
So please don't take my ship from me
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I can feel the hand of a stranger
And it's tightening 'round my throat
Heaven help me, heaven help me
Take this stranger from my boat

I'm your captain, I'm your captain
Though I'm feeling mighty sick
Everybody, listen to me
And return me my ship

I'm your captain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm your captain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm your captain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm your captain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home

I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home

I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home

I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home

I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home

I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home

I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home

I saw them with Humble Pie and Head hands and feet in 1971 as well, Hyde park in London. All 3 were good in their own way.

Saw them live, I think it was 1971 at Shea Stadium. They were backed up by Humble Pie who from what I remember was a better band. What I do remember is the stacks of Marshalls and that it was incredibly loud, you could feel the whole stadium swaying from everyone moving in unison. 



So much to remember...so much to cry but i wont. This is fantastic. Heaven Help me!

Don't be embarrassed at all. Many of us would have loved to have been there.  And keep smiling. 

A song I never had to think about to love. Just let it seep in....

Thank you for playing this  gem!
LLRP!
sad lyrics. love the song.
Is it kinda cheesy?  Well . . . yeah.
Do I love it anyway?  Oh hell yeah!
So, Ronnie died recently. It was a heart attack. One night, oh, 50 some odd years ago me him and Jim are in his bedroom playing the record and recording it on a portable cassette player. Ronnie accidently presses play without the record button on and out comes his warble, recorded alone in some time past blissful moment. Alone with that bass line. Alone with Mark Farner's voice and alone on that beach with the waves and seagulls. We were startled and he was so embarrassed he threw the player against the wall to stop it. It was pretty funny actually.
Ronnie died. I hadn't had much contact with him over the years. The last time I saw him was before Covid in a dive bar where I play on rare occasion. He didn't recognize me at first. I called him a mean mistreater and his eyes widened. "Don't ever tell my sister I broke her cassette player," he said. I never did...

That is the Cleveland Orchestra.  IIRC, Terry Knight went down the street (this was recorded in Cleveland), literally to make the strings as a separate recording that was added to the I'm Your Captain front part 1 to take you Closer To Home for part 2.  I used to know how and why this part was done this way but forgot long ago.  Agency Recordings was next door/ upstairs to the original Cleveland Agora, flagship of the Agora regional concert / bar chain of the 70's and 80's.
The release date, 1969, is missing on the website...but I I was there hearing this on FM radio as a kid. They look like the American versions of Nigel Tuffnel, David St. Hubbins and Derek Smalls.
You wanna play this when youā€™re about ten miles away from home ..

This cut certainly seems like it was digitized, and sounds great — I still rate it at a 10.  I heard them live a few years ago at bike week in Orlando.  If you get the chance to hear them live, do so.  But, bring your ear plugs.  {#Motor}

Maybe I have to do a reassessment on this band.  I guess it would help if I started hearing more of their music here. 

Will we start getting more Grand Funk Railroad "exposure" here at Radio Paradise?  Is America ready for of GFR revival?  I love the Jayhawks' cover of "Bad Time", which they usually play during encores, and it would be an awesome addition to see how it goes over.

About a year ago I bought the most recent reissue of this album on vinyl and it cleans up real nice.  With average quality mastering it is pedestrian, but with some polishing it is a really nice song with some good musicianship and both very listenable and enjoyable again.  This is true of a lot of the longer songs of this era.  They just need a little bit more love than they got the first time around.

Do not agree, and I was born in '70. LOVED hearing this on 890am Worlds Largest Store 3 1/2 hours south of Chi-town. 
If I listen to it again, I'll probably have to count the repetitions of the title, after which I'll spurn it forever.
So, best use PSD to avoid that eventuality. 
Wait, does that even make sense?

the music is alright, but this "I'm getting closer to my home" that is repeated ad eternam is annoying... 
Jeez, Grand Funk Railroad! This makes me feel very old indeed: haven't heard them since I was a kid :)
heard this for the first time today. I think it blew my mind away in awe.
Wow, I'm back in my bedroom in high school, singing at the top of my lungs...blast from the past! This was one of my favorite albums at the time!
Just a 6.5?  What the #^*& is wrong with people?

Beautiful, timeless song......{#Cheers} 
Oh, yes
Still stuck on only one GFR song here...maybe Bill can coax Mark Farner away from his Bowflex machine long enough to crank out a quick rendition of their "Locomotion" cover for our listening pleasure!
No.
{#Devil_pimp}Like Bill says, the always "interesting" comments on songs. LOL I grew up in Michigan listening to GFR and some fond memories of a few concerts attended, and jamming in the early 70's with this on 8 track I'm sure lol Thanks for the blast from the past! 
You'll only love this if you were there...heh heh heh{#Music}

A band which always tried too hard, but still manage to put out quality stuff. This was one of them.
This here is some quality stuff.  Not into GFR, but this song really stands out.  Always thought it was a very fine tune.

No way, fellers!  We played this song all week long at basketball camp in 1969.  We played only this song, cause the B-side on the 45 wasn't good, we had no other records, and basketball camp was in the NC mountains out of AM radio range.  All week long, baby!

And you know what?  I still love it!  Cheesy beach break and everything!  Makes my smile very big.

I knew this song from the opening notes, as the album was a significant part of my growing-up years!

Damn, missed it.

A 10. 
I was only 12 or 13 when I heard Grand Funk, the album before this one. Hearing this album after hearing "Inside Looking Out", "Paranoid" and others off that earlier album was probably my first exposure to a band selling out.
Monotonous and repetitive. Blah.

From the comments, it seems that RP hasn't played this song since 2008.  Perfect.  I enjoy listening to it.  But, once every 5 or so years is plenty.

 


This was my friend Paul's favorite song back in the 70's after 2 tours in Nam. We had GF on the reel to reel tape player for 4 hours of continuous music...
One of their better tunes. Nice to hear some GFRR. How about some from their Frank Zappa - produced album: Good Singin, Good Playin? Tunes like "Crossfire" still blow me away.

Except Sugarloaf also had a hit with "Don't Call Us, We'll Call You." Here's a little trivia courtesy of Wikipedia: The song "Don't Call Us, We'll Call You" is notable because it contained a practical joke at the expense of CBS Records, which had just turned them down for a recording contract. The song includes the sound of a touch-tone telephone number being dialed near the beginning and ending of the song. Those numbers were an unlisted phone number at CBS Records and a public number at the White House respectively.
I stand corrected, though I've never heard the song.

Not to mention that there aren't really very MANY vocals...just the same ones over and over and over again. I didn't like this when it came out. Still don't. But hey...all is subjective in music.

Also I think if we're going to go this route, RP needs to start playing some Little River Band for that true slice-of-the-70s sound.

Needs some tightening up... cut the last 2-3 minutes, a few bars in the bridge, and it might work.
Saw GFR a couple of summers ago. They rocked "back then" and can still rock.
"He can feel the hand of a stranger...and its tightening round his throat" Ride on Capt
Didn't see that coming
When I was a kid, somehow in my head I put this song into a trilogy with "Space Oddity" and "Major Tom."

Did they have ANY white musicians who could sing?
I think the nostalgia value of this is probably a lot higher than the musical value.
The song was so long, and got worse (at the quiet part) that I was forced to lower it from a 3 to a 2. I try to respect it... but I hate it. Why did RP go 5 years between playing this, and then only wait a month? Back to the 5 yr rotation please! And love the comments about getting closer...

Nice one Bill. I love this tune & have not heard it in years... Very nostalgic. Mark Farner threw his harmonica into the audience at their Vancouver show when I was young. My friend caught it but wouldn't let me play it. I was sooooo pissed! :-)
just how far away is this freaking boat?
