This song was used in an Infiniti car commercial a few years ago. Bruce Arnold, leader of Orpheus, re-recorded a new version for it.
Thankfully it didn't have Alan Lorber's annoyingly Jewish strings at the end. That always bugged me.

You have the most extraordinary collection of obscure but quality tunes from the magic late 60s. Thanks much.

Bruce Arnold's trademark ba da da da's from "Can't Find The Time" make an appearence at 1:24.

You can thank the conspiracy of the so-called "anti-establishment" groups in the late 60's for discounting and disregarding Orpheus. You can also thank the corporate music world for turning tail and failing to stand up to the 'hippy'-crites. The suits at MGM could have made Orpheus a household name but they chickened out - and as a result, an amazing band, which essentially predicted the direction that popular music would head in the next decade, was largely forgotten.

I purchased a double CD Best of Orpheus collection and gave this song a listen for the first time. I fell in love with it! I love the use of strings here.



This is one of my favorite songs off that album. Gorgeous song.

Thanks for the nice comment and the view.
