This sixth track is mistakenly titled “With the Power” on the original LP. It is referred to elsewhere as “Power of Soul.”
It is one of only two tracks on Crash Landing to feature the Band of Gypsys as a whole. Both drummer Buddy Miles and bassist Billy Cox perform on this track.
[Chorus]
Talk about it
With the power of soul
Anything is possible
With the power of you
Anything you want to do
[Verse 1]
Watch out for some of those high flying rides you've been takin'
You know the ones that are flying too low
Look out for some of those airplane rides you've been takin'
Especially the ones that are flying too low
[Chorus]
Talk about it
With the power of soul
Anything is possible
With the power of you
Anything you want to do
[Verse 2]
Flyin' through the air on a kite every day and every night
It's a bigger risk
Sometimes the wind ain't right
Yeah, I'm playing too much in one tour, baby
Just up there
Escape to the crippled night
Oh yeah
And you look around and see all the jellyfish
You sayin' flotation's groovy baby
And even he'll tell you that
Yeah, getting high every day is easy
And floatin' around, even a jellyfish will agree to that
[Bridge]
Yeah, I'm sayin' with the power of you
[Chorus]
Talk about it
With the power of soul
Anything is possible
With the power of you
Anything you want to do
