I linked this on a message board I frequent today. Being 11/11/11... it seemed an apt way of remembering the struggle.

one of the best albums of the psychedelic era, and this little tune always catches me off guard due to its blatant simplicity - the sound is interesting,yet ordinary,but the message is brilliantly stated...

Great clip.

I have always loved this song..its uniquw oran sound and melancholy..but I never really istened to the lyrics..not exactly the kind of song anyone would ever promote Today...imagine this on American Idol...they wouldnt know what to say...That is Chris White on vocals on this one!

@TheNEWfilmfanatic99 I've never listened even one bad song by them. Have you ever heard Zombie Heaven? This compilation has such great songs!

This song is such an odd-ball on the album..but i find it just so powerful. That overpowering organ mixed with the sharp lyrics & wonderful vocal performance make the song so atmospheric. It's my second favorite on the record next to "This Will Be Our Year" amazing, amazing album

[TheNEWfilmfanatic99]

Who said The Zombies only made two great songs? More like two great albums!

This video is really well done. Someone should sync the Verdun shell shock video with this song, it'd be even better.

Terrific song. To the individual who gave us the wonderfully profound 'DONT (sic) MAKE WAR' comment, you really are an asset to humanity. Really, we unenlightened morons, must bow down to the majesty of your (perhaps divinely inspired?) sagacious insight.
