Yeah I thought so, you've taken bits from the Cure's 'A Forest' vid. Still works well!

[goorook]

yeah, and it's not only the trees, I always thougt this song belonged more to the late seventies than the sixties. way ahead of its time.

[hejafish]

Nice suitable vid to a bloody great classic! No surprise that I first heard this on the John Peel show! This was one of his treasured vinyl in his sacred record box. Nice one GOOROOK!

[goorook]

thanks, the song is so great it would deserve a better job. still the point was, I thought it needed to be on the tube, somehow.

[EveryonesCrazy]

Love this song, haha who needs drugs when you got this music! Just got Nuggets vol. 1,2,3,4. Blows my fuckin' mind!

Another diamond in the rough. The late

60's was so laden with talent sometimes the non-hits were even better than the hits

[bathorymk]

really good

[NorseWiz]

Anyone know the chords for this?

[Jhensy2012]

Definitely thought Joy Division the first time I heard this. This and Marmalade's "I See The Rain" were my favorites from Nuggets II. And "My Friend Jack" by Smoke. And "You Must Be A Witch" by the Lollipop Shoppe from Nuggets I.

Anyone notice the Joy Division-esque styling of the intro and outro riffs.......they might have called their version "ceremony". I think JD might have named their label Factory Records as a tribute to this band! Between The Factory and Hawkwind in the Space Ritual era, you can pretty much find every riff Peter Hook and Bernard Sumner based their careers on.

I'm constantly frying my mind with stuff like this one, since the early 70ies. Classic anthem of the sun!

[ChoirofWolves]

i dig all the comments here, but one of the really underspoken gems of this song are the little krautrock segues (:50) / (2:04)....fucking mindblowing for its time, this song is impossible to fully feel in one listen

[sav1314]

what a wonderful, awesome song. sitting with my 6 year old laddie just now and he's mesmerised. with out a doubt this is in my top ten song of all time. just wish i could get that sound out of my guitar :)

the first 10 seconds sounds like the hippest forgotten shoegazer ballad of 1995. incredible.

Path Through The Forest - The Factory [England] - 1968 - "Was a RESPECTABLE piece of hard psychedelia with commendably creative guitar and vocal distortion." - Nuggets II: Original Artyfacts From The British Empire And Beyond, Vol. 3-2001. NOTE: The Factory recorded two psychedelic singles in the UK in the late 1960s--unnoticed at the time, now fetching more than a hundred pounds among collectors--that combined psychedelia with power pop harmonies.
