Great song...  Renee Fleming did a cover of this and it held up nicely...


I read somewhere that this album outsold "Disraeli Gears" and "Sgt Peppers"  and was number one selling album that year. I went thru a few vinyl copies. Great tunes and a moment in time before the world changed.

Hard to believe that "core" members from this group went on to record.....'We built this City"(ughhhhhhh)

I agree totally! I was thinking that Jesse Sykes had a kind of 60's psychedelic vibe to it, like maybe Quicksilver Messenger Service. Or Jefferson Airplane {#Cheers} And I probably posted earlier that this is a beautiful song, and one of my faves by them.
 
Seconded!

Yeah, that was a shame, wasn't it? Love this song, though.

Rented the DVD, Fly Jefferson Airplane, recently. I was quite surprised by the quality of both the video and audio. Recommended!

There's a lot of emotion in this song, between the lyrics, the melody, and the lead guitar...  great stuff...

I always associate this song with the love scene between Viggo Mortensen and Diane Lane in Walk on the Moon. Now that was some eye candy!

This may be the most heart-rending, emotionally piercing song of all R 'n R. Astoundingly beautiful.

I was a 15-year-old Canadian high school student in a dinky rural highschool in Ontario, and you're right!  There must have been a lot of negative ions in the earth's atmosphere those few years in the late '60's!  Something was definitely going on in the "astral plane".

Excellent song from an excellent album.  The album had the right mix of uptempo and slower songs.  Definitely their best album.
