Creedence Clearwater Revival - Wrote A Song For Everyone

Undeniably one of the greatest rock bands of all time, Creedence Clearwater Revival has sold over 50 million albums worldwide since their formation in the 1960s, with their songs on consistent rotation on Classic Rock radio.

In celebration of the 40th Anniversary of Creedence Clearwater Revival, the legendary band’s first six albums were reissued by Fantasy Records as six individual expanded-edition CDs. The albums — Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bayou Country, Green River, Willy & the Poor Boys, Cosmo’s Factory and Pendulum,, all originally released from 1968-70 —have been remastered and contain B-sides and unreleased studio & live material.

Still amazes me how a 23/24/25 year old wrote all these awesome songs. I'm 48 and wouldn't even know where to start.

My dad passed away over a year ago but I can still hear him singing this song perfectly..

I have a picture of myself on my 9th birthday and I’m holding up this album on cassette tape . It was a gift from my parents. I’m 59 now in 2020.

A hymn...almost a psalm...a blessing made into music

[earlgomes]

Who’s listening to this number? 2023. Love from Dubai. I grew up listening to these legends in the 80s

So comforting to know that, should our species survive, they’ll be playing this around the campground one hundred years from now . Also, comforting. Knowing that not one of today’s artists will be on that playlist. NOT. ONE.

[Verse 1]
Met myself a coming county welfare line
I was feeling strung out, Hung out on the line
Saw myself a going down to war in June
All I want, all I want is to write myself a tune

[Chorus]
Wrote a song for everyone
Wrote a song for truth
Wrote a song for everyone
And I couldn't even talk to you

[Verse 2]
Got myself arrested, Wound me up in jail
Richmond 'bout to blow up, communication failed
If you see the answer, now's the time to say
All I want, all I want, is to get you down to pray

[Chorus]
Wrote a song for everyone
Wrote a song for truth
Wrote a song for everyone
And I couldn't even talk to you

[Chorus]
Wrote a song for everyone
Wrote a song for truth
Wrote a song for everyone
And I couldn't even talk to you

[Verse 3]
Saw the people standing thousand years in chains
Somebody said it's different now, look, it's just the same
Pharaohs spin the message, round and round the truth
They could have saved a million people, how can I tell you?

[Chorus]
Wrote a song for everyone
Wrote a song for truth
Wrote a song for everyone
And I couldn't even talk to you

[Chorus]
Wrote a song for everyone
Wrote a song for truth
Wrote a song for everyone
And I couldn't even talk to you

[Chorus]
Wrote a song for everyone
Wrote a song for truth
Wrote a song for everyone
And I couldn't even talk to you

The very wholesome wisdom of the 26 year old J.C Fogerty sings out to the decades, such a wonderful song.

[jeffreysimmons]

[JAHISRAEL]

*Wrote a song for everyone
Wrote a song for truth.
Wrote a song for everyone
And I couldn't even talk to you.*

-J.C. Fogarty
