Tom,
Thanks for your listen and comments.I had a few days of going back to that time and this song as well as Blue Medicine came from the remembering.

All it's missing is a sitar. Just kidding! This is great Robert! The lyrics and music really capture the vibe of the hippie house.

ElectroFlutes is very effective.
It has become a wonderful seasoning for folk style melodies.
I always admire because you creates a magical sound every time.
Your vocal is very comfortable as usual.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Hi Shigeki,
Those electro flutes have a unique sound - this was a good place to try them.
I`m happy you heard some magic in this song!

Josie,
I`ll add the sitar as soon as there`s an RT...or someone offers to play one for me.
I`m glad the vibe came through!

Takes me (Bud) back to my almost obligatory trip to San Francisco in 1968...a bit late for the summer of love but close enough smile

If only the lyrical quality of the tunes of that day had been this good.

Outstanding with the write and vocal and production to present it all in such a wonderful, shall I say trippy, package!

Much enjoyed it!

Bud,
The Ritz had a very West Coast woodsy vibe -perched in a forested cove with those window eyes being visible from boat traffic.By the time I got to Haight Ashbury many of the houses you saw in `68 had been given an upscale makeover.
I had fun trying for a period sound on this song- thanks for listening and giving it your thumbs up!

Robert,

This is an outstanding listen.

I found it very emotive in music, words and performance. So many memories came flooding back into my mind as I tagged along on the music's journey.

I loved these lines and the way you used them to bookend the lyrics.

  • floor is tilting
    roof is rising
    windows are watching

The first two lines set up the third line beautifully. I was hooked after these.

Then, in the chorus when you say...

  • you can`t get lost can`t get lost
    if you come from nowhere

... you made me think about existentialism. Wow!

But the above are just some of the incredibly inventive lyrics you've written. These words are a literary feast. I'll think I'll go and have a drink of abracadabra now!

This is a sensational creation!

All the best,
Noel

Noel,

I appreciate your listen and positive comments.
Those Brits were quite the chemists...abracadabra recipe calling for expresso blended with some powerful oils!

Very well thought out lyrics. Very profound lyrics and thoughtful melody nicely paired. The somewhat simple accompaniment works well. I really like the dreamy harmonies. Nice song.
