"Amazing Journey" is a song by The Who from the album Tommy. It was written by Pete Townshend.
Background
"Amazing Journey" was the first song written by Townshend specifically for the Tommy album.[1] The lyrics were taken from some of the first lines of a poem Townshend wrote.[1]
The song involves Tommy, the main character from the album, going on a psychedelic "amazing journey" as his subconsciousness reveals itself to him as a tall stranger dressed in silvery robes. This makes him interpret all sensations as music. (See also: Tommy storyline.)
The song segues into "Sparks", an instrumental that has roots in "Rael (1 and 2)", a track from The Who Sell Out. A link called "Beat Up" followed the two tracks in early running orders of Tommy.[1]
Other appearances
A live version of the song appears on Live at Leeds. The studio version of this song is also available as downloadable content for the Rock Band video game series.
