Track #7 (originally the 3rd track on side two) from Black Sabbath’s 3rd studio album from 1971, Master of Reality. A delay effect was added to Ozzy Osbourne’s vocals on this song to provide the effect of a second vocal track. This song features the multi-instrumentalist talents of Sabbath guitarist...
[Verse 1]
My name it means nothing, my fortune is less
My future is shrouded in dark wilderness
Sunshine is far away, clouds linger on
Everything I possessed, now, they are gone
They are gone, they are gone...
[Verse 2]
Oh, where can I go to and what can I do?
Nothing can please me, only thoughts are of you
You just laughed when I begged you to stay
I've not stopped crying since you went away
You went away, you went away...
[Verse 3]
The world is a lonely place, you're on your own
Guess I will go home, sit down and moan
Crying and thinking is all that I do
Memories I have remind me of you
Of you, of you...
Solitude was written by Geezer Butler & Tony Iommi & Ozzy Osbourne & Bill Ward.
Solitude was produced by Rodger Bain.
Black Sabbath released Solitude on Wed Jul 21 1971.
[“Solitude”] might be the first love song we ever recorded.
—Tony Iommi
