i think i fell in love with music when in 1958 at 4yo i heard the saxophone solo on the song, Purple People Eater. i'm usually pretty tough, but hearing the start of this Hollies song, tears come to my eyes, one of the most beautiful melodies and vocal harmonies from the 60s
Yeah right the 60's was the greatest decade of music, lots of group that we can really listen i mean really music not just a noise and a bloody the same lyrics repeated 100x, i let my 16 year old son and his friend listen just for a while at first they dont like but later they begin to like the music of the 60's they said they can even now appreciate the love song and pops and found out also that the new generation have made new music out from the 60and just change some melodies and lyrics
@phil4508 Yeah, but not living those times, with all those beautiful bands makes me really sad. Only few bands today bring us that feeling, if you know what I mean...
IDK if that many ppl know that ALOT of these early groups had members that went on to bigger, not maybe better things? Just evolved, I should say. Who can name the original members of this group, & what they went on to be? Not too many of you, would be my guess1 Feed-back PLZ!!!
Dear Abby, I've been trying to convince my wife to make this our song (long story), but musically she can't acknowledge anything before 2011.Please help!
hey man yes the 60's were the time that the music spoke but in the air was a useless war that cause the early death of 58000 fellow baby boomers and friends,classmates to be my age now is very haunting with this shadow hanging over us we must never forget that while people got rich on war many many good people lost their lives for nothing
hey toyogc4ever: if you were 17 when this song came out (I was 18) you'd be 18 soon and into the army and over to Vietnam you would go. Being 17 today has its advantages.
this song jams!! I never thought much of Graham Nash's guitar playing but he & the other guitarist really jam on this-they don't make songs like this anymore,Hollies were very underrated!!
Shoot, they don't do good camera directing back then. The camera did not even show the face of the guitarist on the left, which I think was Graham Nash, or CSNY fame. Still brought me back to when I was just beginning to appreciate good songs.
One of the greatest mental pictures in a song that was ever written! "Bus stops, she stays, bus goes, love grows under my umbrella..."The poetry of innocence and love set to incredble harmonies and hooks. Back then, it seems like every other song was just about as good as this one.
@MusicMan7gk I can only imagine those times..I'm 20 now :( my father always think of those magical 60's..memories and memories. great generation you are.
At 17, I was trying to get the attention of a 'certain girl'. This song was pure courage or something like that. Just a pleasant time and song. The Hollies were mostly bubble gum, If I remember correctly? Chew on.
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
Some might say this is "bubble gum" music. There is a innocence here. Well, I wish there was more of it for our youngster but they have skipped this period of their lives with all the Hip Hop, Gansta Rap, Raw movies, and internet porn.
@ringingo007 : Couldn`t agree more. You had to live through this era to know how great and important it was. Sadly, today there is no real music to speak of...
I was born in '61, but I remember this song very well. Even now it brings back memories of uncomplicated Saturday mornings when the world was fresh and new (for me) ... And isn't Allan Clarke cute! :)
can not reproduce this in anyway, the sound, etc. Thank god we did not have electrical devices to enhance their voices. It's a great sound with great sound. Love the guitar!! You can not even reproduce the emotion the song evokes!
@toyogc4ever I understand your point that being a teenager in the '60s "...must have been mega!", and in some ways it was. Even though it was a very creative time in music, there was a whole lot of crap coming over the airways - I'd say probably more than 80%. Think of what this period calls to mind: civil rights movement and terrible violence associated with it; the Vietnam War - a lot of young men killed; drug use beyond sensibility; the death of John Kennedy - and I hated my teen years.
@Teachering Yeah, im sure all that is true. i reckon it must have been incredible being young in the 60s -I would have loved to-, but im probably just looking at the positive aspects of the decade.
also, im sure it was better in England than in America.
@toyogc4ever Are you from England? If so, I'm so sorry that my focus was on the U.S. My viewpoint must sound pretty narrow. I can't speak for England, of course. However, my love of rock and roll, love of literature, and especially my love of guitar has its roots in England. Growing up with The Beatles, Eric Clapton and George Harrison, Jeff Beck, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks to name so few, really helped me through my years growing up. I wonder what it's like for teenagers these days?
Like I said, technology is good, the Internet is good if you dont spend your life in front of your computer.
It's all fine, but I don't think it's not even comparable to the 60s.
Even leaving music and all that aside, the stories I've heard from people that grew up in the 60s really sound mindblowing to me (people from England and France, that is). They had so much stuff going on for them.
@Teachering i was only 12 in '66 so i was pretty much oblivious to all the bad sh*t. and because i was weened on rock and roll, all i new was that i was into something good!!! man i even stayed up all night long on new years eve just so i could tape the top 100 count down of that year. i was only 12, but that music obviously transended all ages and genders and none of us wanted to be any where else because this was the best thing there ever was. and maybe....... still is?
@toyogc4ever It was unbelievable,the music,the fashons,art,most importantly the consciousness revolution.
The best period of any teenage period.....PERIOD. we changed the worlds thinking,like a beautifully coloured butterfly emerging from the prison of its chrysalis,flying free of the old order.
We seem to be slipping back into materialism,violence,mindless mass obsession with TV and bad news day after day,dull repetitve pop music nothing like the Hollies etc produced. wow.thats better......
@toyogc4ever youd be suprised how enjoyable is with less restrictions, less pressure, and less shit to go wrong. I'm sure the 60's were a fantastic time to grow up
@toyogc4ever From someone who was a teenager then, the music of this era was quite remarkable, but don't feel left out. There were other parts of this era that were horrible. 56,000 US Soldiers died in a useless war, a lot of them drafted and unable to avoid it. We had a president and his brother killed. Martin Luther King killed. Terrible tension on many college campuses, Kent State tragedy, race riots. Actually the music is about all that was good about those times. I would not want to return.
@toyogc4ever I was a teenager in the 60s and the 70s. In my opinion the 60s were the greatest. There were The Beatles, The Beach Boys,The Monkees, The Rolling Stones,The Grassroots,The Buckinghams, The Classic four,The Cowsills, Paul Revere and the Raiders, The Animals, Herman Hermits,The Rascals The Zombies and The Hollies to name a few. There was also music by Elvis Presley,Connie Francis,Lesley Gore,Patsy Cline Frankie Avalon. Chad and Jeremy , Peter and Gordon The 60s were sensational !
No, it was hell. If you were a boy, you were harrassed about the length of your hair. If you were a girl, you were girl you were challenged about the length of your skirt, or dress. Most of us acquiesed to "their demands", 'cause we wanted to get enough education to be able to have some "positive impact" on the world.
Don't think we made it! 'Cause the world is an awfull, bloody mess, now...
I can't find the post, but someone here talks bad about Bobby's drumming, It sounds was fine, I was drumming during in this time also, our equipment was "rags" at best, but that was the technologly of the time....I say to this person, Ringo, for all he was said it best "my band was The Beatles,who was your band?", well poster, Bobby's band was/is The Hollies,who's your band?......Peace.....
Read Stanley Milgram's "The Individual in a Social World." What's going on in the narrative of this song is against human nature. That said, I had this record (yes, the record, to which I listened on one of the trusty Fisher turntables that were always around in the house) as a boy in the 1980s, and hearing this stuff now brings back a lot of fond memories of my folks.
@Niallad94 Why you are saying this thing ? I was 14 in 1966 and was being honed to be the lead guitarist , we were all around band we play all the song of the well known groups including soloist everybody enjoys it if we play The Beatles the audience jumps if we play The hollies the same audience gone crazy if we play Brenda Lee (we have female vocalist)they all felt in love the same audience felt in-love if we play Jerry Vale songs, i was on this period 2nd rhythm, your parents happy years
@ceboym I say it because, nowadays, what is called "music" just make me sheaf. Ofc, sometimes there's good music, behind the actual "music" but good music is becoming rare, because of tv and radio.
God thanks, with internet we all can listen to real music, played by real musicians, and i'm not only talking about rock.
@ceboym I say it because the dear old time of rock (i mean the 60-70's) is gone and i'll never see my fav bands playing, cause i'm in love with psych and prog rock and cause those types of music can't be found nowadays, except on the internet.
The Hollies are amazing! I respect those 14 retards that don't like this song... hahaha, no I certainly don't... what were they thinking? were they thinking?
do people undestand that when people select "thumbas down' it may be because the video isnt good enough quality for them, an intro could be cut out it could be anything, so people should stop saying the x amount of ppl who dont like (insert band name here) are retards.. because it doenst meant they dont like the hollies, just this one specific video on youtube.. n dont send me a msg or anything its my two cents i dont give a fuck for u to write me a email tellin me how wrong i am..
Not one shot of the bass player and way too much time with the camera just on people's heads while they are singing. This is typical of the way a lot of videos were shot back then (and unfortunately all too often still are in some cases).
Nice post, great group.
Some classic Les Paul guitars there!

@toyogc4ever Depends on who you ask? If you were one of the many drafted to Vietnam...I doubt they would be saying the same.

No, it was hell. If you were a boy, you were harrassed about the length of your hair. If you were a girl, you were girl you were challenged about the length of your skirt, or dress. Most of us acquiesed to "their demands", 'cause we wanted to get enough education to be able to have some "positive impact" on the world.
Don't think we made it! 'Cause the world is an awfull, bloody mess, now...

I can't find the post, but someone here talks bad about Bobby's drumming, It sounds was fine, I was drumming during in this time also, our equipment was "rags" at best, but that was the technologly of the time....I say to this person, Ringo, for all he was said it best "my band was The Beatles,who was your band?", well poster, Bobby's band was/is The Hollies,who's your band?......Peace.....

Read Stanley Milgram's "The Individual in a Social World." What's going on in the narrative of this song is against human nature. That said, I had this record (yes, the record, to which I listened on one of the trusty Fisher turntables that were always around in the house) as a boy in the 1980s, and hearing this stuff now brings back a lot of fond memories of my folks.

Such innocent lyric. Compare this to the genital references, four letter words and vulgarity of a typical rap song.

@ceboym I say it because, nowadays, what is called "music" just make me sheaf. Ofc, sometimes there's good music, behind the actual "music" but good music is becoming rare, because of tv and radio.
God thanks, with internet we all can listen to real music, played by real musicians, and i'm not only talking about rock.
Niallad94 10 months ago
@ceboym I say it because the dear old time of rock (i mean the 60-70's) is gone and i'll never see my fav bands playing, cause i'm in love with psych and prog rock and cause those types of music can't be found nowadays, except on the internet.

@grindlbebe yea, i'm totally jealous...I would have given my left nut (maybe even both! lol jk) to have been born anywhere between 1940 and 1960.

do people undestand that when people select "thumbas down' it may be because the video isnt good enough quality for them, an intro could be cut out it could be anything, so people should stop saying the x amount of ppl who dont like (insert band name here) are retards.. because it doenst meant they dont like the hollies, just this one specific video on youtube.. n dont send me a msg or anything its my two cents i dont give a fuck for u to write me a email tellin me how wrong i am..

Not one shot of the bass player and way too much time with the camera just on people's heads while they are singing. This is typical of the way a lot of videos were shot back then (and unfortunately all too often still are in some cases).
