Quicksilver Messenger Service - Long Haired Lady

[cudaj2]

Believe it or not Billy Corgan ( Smashing Pumpkins ) of all people does an excellent cover of this. You can find it here on Youtube. It blew my mind, but made me appreciate his musical knowledge more, he just didn't seem like the type of cat that would play or even know about this song but happily I was proved wrong.

[mawheegan]

some things are timeless.....like music which brings a soul to light when we allow immersion....this is a perfect example.

[kittney08]

I first heard this beautiful song over 30 yrs ago and it still makes me feel like a beautiful young girl when I close my eyes and listen to it, pure magic

[hellswinter]

Love the tempo. So slow and airy that you feel like you're floating

[Jimala3]

ohhh the love we had then.

[staklee2002]

my late husband dedicated this to me back in the 70's i want it played when i join him

[heroroom]

@staklee2002 HE'LL LOVE YOU FOR LIFE IN THIS HOUR........... & FOR EVERY.

THE 70s was great & now gone forever......peace......love 2 u...... Sad Old Hippy

[RafaCelloKonzert]

I thank God for the holy weed.

[MrJimmyjoejimbob]

My lady is from the late 60's. She is still so

beautiful. The years don't change the beauty of your woman .....or the beautiful song

6 wks ago I found this CD, and it saids: The Best of Quicksilver Messenger service,from capitol records. and I was like... What?? until I played it. They was really great cause it still sounds good! specially this song, and others like what about me? and fresh air. nice taste!

[sillybear969]

Thank you for posting this, such a joy to find this again...

Here's holding up hope like a beacon, that others may find as sweet a love as he evokes...

Years after we heard this song from so far apart,

I finally found my Yin, and she her Yang:

Smiling soft, we lie enfolded, in love so glad we found each other,

Together again - passing through forever, it is all, all right...

It's okay to believe in daydreams, and happy new beginnings and,

Fairy tales do come true, so say my lady and I...

[davidthedevil1]

I grew up on this stuff my dad played it for me alot as a child i love it...Too bad the band fell apart because of a Bad Heroin Deal gone completely wrong....they will b remembered for as long as im alive

[SpainishArcher]

Classic QMS.

Beautiful , psychedelic early '70's space and mind altering .

Just have to love it. Treasure it for all times. It will never be back.

Thanks for putting it on here for us QMS freaks.

[SpaceJapes]

@SpainishArcher yeah, great stuff. you're welcome

[sslomo]

SpaceJapes: OMG I haven't heard this song since I was a wee pot smokin long haired hippy girl in love with the concept of love at first sight.

"do you believe love at first sight lasts forever?and can you know I love you for life this hour?"

oh jesus what an incredible rush of emotions this old sensible girl is going through right now"fairy moon maiden.damn"

Thank you this was better than any words or pictures---just that voice and guitar

((smooches spacejapes)))

[kiketve2]

@nikgau just be happy that someone posted this cool piece

[doubledogfish]

valenti did not write it.

jesse oris farrow wrote this, along with ALL and I do mean ALL of their hits. Farrow was the total BOMB when it came to lyrics.

Subway, Call on me, what about me, and of course MY LONG HAIRED LADY.

[Eesgrampa]

jesse oris farrow is one of valentes aliases ... dino was the one who wrote this ... beautiful song

[karmices]

Jesse Oris (also sometimes Orris) Farrow, Chet Powers, Dino Valente and Dino Valenti are all the same person. He used different names due to contract reasons. His real birth name is Chester Powers Jr.

[posthumanhero]

beautiful!!!

[mystiq86]

Wow, thought I was the only one who knew about this song, one of those old, classic gems nobody remembers, Dino Valenti was such an underated singer and songwriter. You should check out Billy Corgan's version of this song here on you tube.

[NickKostalas]

agreed, and corgan's rendition is spectacular!

[posthumanhero]

corgan cuts out a very important measure in this song and it really destroys it for me.....it's right before the chorus, i believe, he rushes right into the chorus......it just detracts.....oh well, just my opinion.

[mystiq86]

Yes, you're right, I missed that.

[kieranification]

I couldn't be arsed digging out the record so it's nice to find some kindered spirits out there doing the work for me. Happy trails my friend!

[NickKostalas]

no problem man, thanks!!

[k5nik75]

great song!!!

thanks for uploading it!!!!!!

[SpaceJapes]

no problem dude!!!!
