Herd - Paradise Lost 1968

Herd - Paradise Lost 1968

In the deepest dungeons of my mind
I dredge the shadows, try to find
A memory dimly lit, a jigsaw piece to fit
Scene of my innocence departed - aah

Once I could love without desire
Her glance could warm me without fire
Where is the boy I was, who wanted her because
She took my loneliness and healed me

(Instrumental)

Experience has dulled my eyes
With repetition wonder dies
In craving to be free, I lost a part of me
She was my promise and my dream - aah

(Instrumental)

Check out The Herd - 'Sad'. Really beautiful song even if it's sung by Gary and not Peter!

[The096757]

this is the kind of 60s music i want to listen to. satellite radio is trash. they need a flower power station that plays music like this from the late 60s -early 70s and NOTHING ELSE.

its weird and wonderfull, it will never age, great stuff.

[ColumRogers]

The Herd are probably my favourite 60's band. They were so wonderfully weird and songs like this just don't sound aged. Here's to next 40 odd years LOL! x

[RowleyBirkinn]

Ambitious but doesn't quite work. No wonder only made no.15 in the UK charts. Mind you in 67/68 you had to sell a lot of records just to make the top 20!

прекрасная музыка!

@armoredcar3 Keith Richard made a telling comment - on Youtube. He said that when they started, the Music Industry was run as a Tax Loss by Defence companies like Decca and RCA, and that they put up with a lot of Experimental Music, hence the 60's being very weird (musically). Once they realised there was money to be made it all got a lot more serious and mainstream. No wonder then that 45 years on it is full of sh*t.

far out man !!! a great year .

@peterdcarter1 I agree. It's going nowhere.

@45rpmSINGLES who said i liked them?

[45rpmSINGLES]

@peterdcarter1 your credibility as a rock music critic is diminished somewhat by your liking of Tony Blackburn videos ...

[armoredcar3]

@peterdcarter1 No. An ambitious, intelligent and original song, performance and production.
