All Chris Parry could do, musicly,at school was bash a drum in the military cadet parades..He certainly improved after he left school,as did most of us in our various vocations...
There are SO MANY elements to this song, that make it great. It is (to me) almost perfect. The percussion, the organ, the autoharp, the delicate guitar parts, and not at all least of all the harmonies. The ethos behind the whole feeling of the song, and the fact it's called 'Nature'- it's almost poking fun at the whole idea of hippiedom, while at the same time embracing it wholeheartedly. Love it!
....but they still had some great songs??? I've listened to this bands early 'expressive' songs, and will undeniably class this song as the best NZ song ever written/composed/recorded.
You must think I'm really thick! What sort of ignorant numbskull would think this is a recent song? Man, the internet ay? Try and drop a witty comment and you get taken literally.
@meeksnbella Thanks for your reply. I would be so proud, if I had such links to a wonderful group of Musicians. I envy you... and I hope the talent has been passed on to future generations. Waiting for your Album release (Just Kidding). I bet you are talented tho... :).
Gee it would be nice to see you wearing this gear in Auckland in a couple of weeks - I am sure you were looking like this the time I saw you 40 years ago. A shame but performers dont take the trouble any more - not since the late 60s fashions like this really
This song is amazing!! I was listening to it stoned when i first heard it and could not belive how amazing this band was. Now that im sober it sounds even better!! thanks for sharing..keep it up brother!!

Definitely a timeless classic; 40 years later it is still New Zealand's favourite and most recognisable song.
