Editor’s Note: I was surprised when I searched the 100 songs I’ve made song of the month on this website and this cut wasn’t there. It’s easily one of my favorites, all-time. Mostly it’s the music, a grand combination of relaxation and excitement. It’s been a favorite background to my work since its release in 1971. Feels like an early fusion, progression of jazz to electric rock and roll. Still, each lyric that leads to the title (noted below) has a point to remember.
Favorite lyrics:
“We were children once playing with toys…
The “man” was shot dead by a gun that didn’t make any noise…
As sure as your sorrows are joys…
Spirit is something that no one destroys”
Peace,
Tim McCarthy
