@BeavisRevolution I hope you are being sarcastic....
-
@paulperkins2 sarcasm did not exist in the 1960s

The opening melody of this song references the opening melody of 'Together Wherever We Go' from the musical 'Gypsy'. I think this album represents the best songwriting pop music had to offer. So underrated!

@MrDiddyDee No, it was not taken as gloating. I liked the comment and was nice to hear of your own, personal relationship longevity. It's true about comments not being able to convey meaning as I tend to put in smileys when I'm being the least bit dry. I just assume people should know I'm just being a little sarcastic or dry. Thanks for your additions to the uploads and posts (not sarcastic-genuine)...

@darrynray Even for those of us with English as a 1st language, posting comments can be a lottery. Words don't always convey the tone of what you're trying to say, as witnessed by some of the slanging matches on Youtube which are quite shocking, comments get misinterprated. I sincerely hope it didn't come across as gloating. We were just very lucky. When we bump into old friends they're always happy that we're still together, it's sad long term relationships seem to be getting scarce.

@MrDiddyDee Good for you. Ahhhh! I think you're safe here since it's a news post and not gloating. :) Thanks for the posts...

The real irony is, unfortunately, that Colin's sarcasm was justified in this case. The reality check is that sadly most of the couples mentioned split up shortly afterwards. Jean & Jim, as far as I know are still together, Jim being The Zombies current bassist. It does work out for some folks. Myself included, with my childhood sweetheart, still together after 40 years! Ahhhh! (...maybe I shouldn't have said that)

@MrDiddyDee Nice addition to the thread. Makes sense and brings it back into the Less-Ironic fold. Thanks....

In 1967 'flower power' was current, peace & love the message, as reflected more on Rod Argent's 'Hung up on a dream'. I like to think Chris White's sentiment was genuine, and the young were, for a short while then, more optimistic and maybe less cynical than today.The sarcasm comes from Colin Blunstone's "Ahhh!" on the end, which he's quoted as saying he added because he thought the song was a little bit sweet, and it added a little bit of irony to the song.
