i listened to this song with my dad today. I'm 22 and he couldn't stop talking about the last time he heard it was with his older sister. What a classic, glad i heard it
Thank~Thank~thank~ I"ve tried to find this on line to my surprise finally someone posted it! simple but a fav of mine, it brings me back to the early 70"s
Great song. It would sure be hard to pick a top ten favorites of this band. They never really had a bad song. Even their 'B' side singles were all good.
Yeah, and Burton played the saxophone as well, as stated on the vinyl "So long Bannatyne!" All of the Guess Who is great, as versatile as they were. And Burton is still going strong with old mate Randy Bachman.
One of my favorites from 1970. This is pure classic BC. One thing that most people forget is people have to die, and leave all behind. Just beautiful!!!!!
Great song by a Classic Band. The lyrics have puzzled me for years. "You don't believe that this whole universe could be inside your little sister's purse" ?
"Ain't it hard when you discover your energy has to leave you for another" ?
"Life in the bloodstream... I hope the little boy don't fall and skin his knee"?
Life, death, living, dying, are we just a pixel in the big picture ?
BTW... The album So Long Bannatyne is still available... got mine on ebay recently.
A forgotten gem sung to perfection by Burton, plus typically cool piano playing! Unfortunately, you will never hear this great tune on today's radio.....
This is about as close to doo wop as Burton Cummings ever came and it's a great one. Kind of brings to mind the Skyliners "Since I Don't Have you." Same kind of nostalgic feel.
Great song ! Don't know what I love better-Burton's vocals, the piano, or the "zinger" nature of the lyrics...They don't make 'em like this no more, kiddies...More's the pity.
oh wow, thank u for this song....

Wasn't this song in "An Officer & a Gentleman"-- the scene where Richard Gere takes Debra Winger to the dance?
I'm surprised this song is from 1971. I was convinced it was from the '50s!
