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 Tony Iommi (who also plays flute & piano on the recording). This song is about being depressed after breaking up with somebody.
