The Free Design are frigging amazing with or without drugs. Apparently Chris was very anti-drugs, but this band does have a great psychedelic sound. The Enoch Light stuff is also pretty "groovy",
But I can't deny that listening to them when high on the right stuff can be a truly wonderful experience.
But I just have one question, does anyone know if the lyrics are "bubblegum candy keeps my heart from getting heavy and crying" or "bubblegum kinda etc"?
The best song no one's ever heard. And the bong does have to be in there. The notion to make a video for a Free Design tune doesn't come after a HF sundae, you dig?
Great song and group! Problem is their music is simply too sweet and innocent for today's average young adults. Popular music of today is so mean-spirited, dripping with pessimism and sarcasm. I have a theory. Music started becoming dark and miserable around the time of the demise of 45 R.P.M. records, which were often purchased by preadolescents and young teens that had not yet become jaded by the realities of life. Often costing less than $1, 45s in many respects drove the music industry.
That's a really good theory. My theory is that the earlier pop music drew on authentic traditions--Jazz, folk, blues, classical. When that music became more inaccessible, it became more derivative, staler, relying more on sensation, a heavy beat, etc. rather than melody and harmony.

What is interesting is this seemingly simple children's song deals with divorce, loss of friendship, death and religion.

I love this song! Especially the bass line.
But I just have one question, does anyone know if the lyrics are "bubblegum candy keeps my heart from getting heavy and crying" or "bubblegum kinda etc"?
