Wow, what a song!

That is one of the most psychedelic songs I've ever heard - and the great light show that totally enhanced it. Thanks!

Few folks are just appreciative, just have hearts with no peace, always criticizing!

Beautiful music. I always get up at 5AM during the summer solstice, and listen to this song as the sun comes up. It's a truely spiritual experience.

@MrMeddled Stacy wrote and sang this, and he rocks as much as Roky. Life wasn't fair to either of them. Stacy deserved to live, and have a second chance at success in music. And Roky deserves better than he's gotten out of life, to say the very least. Two amazing singer/songwriter/guitarists, gifted in music!

@LSDCoatedBrain Yes, it's quite annoying.

Thank you to everyone who brought this band back to life on youtube. I remember them along with led zepplin. totally brillant.

The jug was essential to their sound. It powered the songs like an echoed electronic pulse, particularly on Easter Everywhere. Hardly "repetitive", it is played rhythmically , and undulates..and makes their music uniquely "psychedelic." The jug does appear on "Never Another" on BOTW but is a less dominant, rather fluid, sound that curls like tendrils.



Great tune! But Where is that groovy jug ?

I'm not sure, maybe its hiding, lol. This is one of the few songs of theirs that doesn't have it.

The entire album "Bull of the Woods" is free of the Sonic Love Jug. I was never a fan of it, but to each their own. Stacy Sutherland sings lead on this one, BTW.

I'm not much of a fan of the jug either. I think its too dominating, and repetitive.

who wrote this song? I heard{according to wiki} the main singer, was only part, of four of the songs, from this album.

Yeah, Rocky only played in four songs, but I don't think he actually wrote any on this one. It was probably Tommy Hall or Stacy Sutherland who wrote it.
