It was much better to be in your 20's during the 70's, than to be in your 70's in the 20's. I'm just real glad to have been there for the greatest music ever created.

You're 62 and don't know why you cry? When this came out, you and I were the same age. It made me cry back then but since I was a very little kid I found comfort and a kind of shelter in music. Thanks to my horrendous biological father, life was tough and horrible but music was everywhere, and I felt it. The beauty,, life, love and even the sadness of a song, made me feel better even while making me cry. By 13 I had a wonderful stepdad who made our world better and he brought his music collection with him. Music in one way or another, has saved my life. Peace, love and music to you Craig.

Nice hidden gem from that amazing era, they really had a great tune here, both the lyrics and the music are top notch, I was so lucky to be growing up in that era, we had so many great songs coming from everywhere, so much that some of them, like this one, fell through the cracks of time and are only be discovered by new listeners and rediscovered by old timers like me in 2024. Good music will always pass the test of time and make new fans. For another somewhat forgotten but great tune from those days, try the psychedelic classic, I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night, by the Electric Prunes. That song is a banger, definitely of that time but still has an effects a half century later, that tune gave us chills and was trippy music for sure, in a very good way. Major hit for them and worth a listen, enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎹🎻🎶

It could just be me, but I sense this song might be even more relatable nowadays than when it was first released. Just sayin. 🤔 Still I want to tell you how much I appreciate all your analysis of these songs. Extremely insightful!
