Yes I will put them all up. Combination of problems with Converter Program and lack of time.

Still sends shivers down my spine after all this time.

@dragonfire19111 Actually, I'd give that credit (first to hit the airwaves in a big way) to PP&M's version of "Where have all the flowers gone?"

This and Everything That Touches You are their best pieces.

I agree that this is a great song. loved it sinced the first time I heard it...but why, oh why can we not seem to find the origional on U-Tube. It used to be on but has since dissappeared. Can someone please post it again as I would love to have the origional.

Still brilliant.

Along with "The Green Fields of France", this song is the most powerful, moving and effective anti-war song which I have heard and experienced. Both of these songs really make me stop, reflect and think.

@wouldntyoulike2know Agreed, this is Terry at his best! :)))

Love songs are forever. Music that touches the soul/spirit with the essence of eternity never dies. We were meant to love and be loved. His love--the Love of God which never dies. We were meant to embrace His Beauty/Music. Nothing of this vain and fleeting life can come close to His matchless excellence. Obey Acts 2:38 and live forever. Not religion but relationship. A universe of difference. He moves on this speck called Earth all the day and yet we miss Him. God is love

I loved this song the first time I heard it. Its so beautiful and emotional. It really shows the talent of the band as vocalists, they all weave their pitch together and its almost like their voices become instruments instead of voices. Hearing them sing this song a little older, gives it something more emotive to me. I think its one of Terry's finest moments.

This was the first protest song of the Vietnam war to hit the radio's in the 60's

We sang this song at mass the Sunday following the May 4, 1970 Kent State shootings. Those of us who sang it also sang in magrigal in the h.s. school choir, so we tried to emulate the Association as best we could. Some people at the church service weren't very pleased, but the nuns supported our decision.
