Rock Me was on Steppenwolf’s third album At Your Birthday Party. Despite its charting at #10 in its day (1968), Rock Me receives little to no airplay on classic rock stations.
It appeared on the soundtrack to the movie Candy.
It was recorded on the Dunhill/ABC label, and featured a lengthy bridge...
She asked me maybe I could share her sorrow
For all the men that tried to treat her wrong
Though just a baby, awaiting her tomorrow
It's rock me baby, rock me baby, all night long
She needs an answer to her confusion
Someone to guide her with tenderness
But when she's askin' for a solution
All that she gets, you know, is something like this
I don't know where we come from
Don't know where we're goin' to
But if all this should have a reason
We would be the last to know
So let's just hope there is a promised land
Hang on 'til then
As best as you can
Ev'rybody's ills, you know it fills her with compassion
That's why she tries to save the world alone
She helps the needy in her own fashion
And tries to give them all her own
She needs an answer to her confusion
Someone to guide her with tenderness
But when she's askin' for a solution
All that she gets, you know, is
Something like this
Rock Me was written by John Kay (Steppenwolf).
Rock Me was produced by Gabriel Mekler.
