Hot summer day (Hot summer day)
Carry me along
Oh, hot summer day (Hot summer day)
Please carry me along
Hot summer day
Carry me along
To its end
Where I begin

Long summer dream (Long summer dream)
Sliding round my mind
Those long summer dreams (Long summer dream)
Are leaving me behind
Hot summer day
Carry me along
To its end
Where I begin

Circling like a river
Over brightly colored stones
Breaking up my soul
And taking part of me home
Leaving the other half
To tumble all alone
Love, love, where did you go?

Hot summer day (Hot summer day)
Carry me along
To its end where I begin
Those long summer dreams (Long summer dream)
Still spinning round my mind
And they end where they begin

And I want to grab that river
And stop the love that's dying
Because I know that somewhere
Deep inside my soul you're still lying
Waiting to awaken
And shake that river's flow
Love, love, where did you go?

They told me that the sun turned green
I said I didn't know
And they told me that the moon turned blue
I said it didn't show
And they told me that I looked a fool
And I said I'd let that go
But when they told me that our love was dead
I had to turn and go

Oh love
Love
Love
Love
Love
Where did you go?

Hot summer day (Hot summer day)
Carry me along
To its end
Where I begin
Long summer dreams (Long summer dream)
Sliding round my mind
And they end
Where they begin

Circling like a river
Over brightly colored stones
Breaking up my soul
And taking part of me home
Leaving the other half
To tumble all alone
Love, love, where did you go?

My dear friend John - I miss you so much.
Until the next life.  Everytime I hear this band I will think of you.  <3

"White Bird" also a winner from this album...



White Bird, one of my favorites, it moves my soul somehow!

One of my most favorite lost bands of the '60s.  I miss hearing this on the radio.  It's probably because it was overplayed a bit, in the day.  I'm going to listen to the whole album now.  

One of the great things about RP is that while I listen to RP almost exclusively, it's RP that triggers me to go elsewhere to listen to more of the new music I've just heard on RP,  or to fondly reminisce with more of a great oldie.

Thanks William, et. al.

BillG:  "One of my favorite bands to see live back in the olden, olden, olden days ..."

You're lucky to have seen them live, especially since you used 3 "oldens" to describe how long ago it was.

Great band! I love their first 2 albums. They should have been as successful as the Grateful Dead or the Jefferson Airplane IMHO. 

Unfortunately they got screwed by bad management.

This song actually brings the feeling back of those hot summer days that in retrospective felt hotter than today, in every sense.

I saw them in London some time around '69, also on the bill was Taj Mahal. When you were in Pa'ia did you go to Freedom Park and Jimi's statue? My buddy Ray got to go to Rainbow Bridge lucky guy.

Amen, brother.  No passion, no vision, and "talent" is now defined by how sexy you appear on YouTube and your Instagram feed.

EVERYtime I hear that squealing violin intro I get chicken skin....memories of road-trips with dad and stepmom and his well crafted, LP to cassette mix-tapes.  Maybe some Uriah Heep on RP one day (July Morning!!)

LONG LIVE RP!!

I agree that back around '68 it was a more fertile time (for a number of reasons) for artists to create great music, and therefore many special songs were written, however don't be so naive to assume that you have heard enough artists today, from every musical genre, and from every country/culture to make such a sweeping generalization. Without being exposed to a tremendous amount of music, you can't possibly know what is available, especially now in the digital and indie age. There is no need to make such a foolish statement. It doesn't have to be your taste in music, but it might be for many others.

There was a more-than-ample supply of laughable music from those decades (as with any other decade); many people have just selectively forgotten it.  This is pretty funny though, in a morbidly pleasant way.

I think it's funny the conceptcion of " hippys" describing the folks actually doing the life. " hippys"  were middle and upper class kids with money, the rest of us freeks were stonney broke doing whatever it took to stay alive and groove. I'd stand outside the filmore selling the Berkley burp every nite to get enough dough to get in or eat depending on who was playing. some nites bill would chase us away, some nites we all got invited in. some times he would get up on stage and tell everyone to leave unless they wanted to get locked in. yowza all nite party time. cuz if you didn't get out before 2 you got locked in till 6am. thoese were magic times with everyone from the dead Ritchie havens the dobbies whoever showed, jamming all nite. killer times. holey hot tuna bubba it was on. remember when "pop tops" fit in parking meters ?used to be the way to beat the loitering rap, pay for a parking place and sit in it.you can get a lot of folks in a parking place of caddy size.

Like the music or not, it's the best album cover of all time!  I've always loved the entire album - but maybe it's just the time in my life.  It was a gift from my college-going sister while I was in high school.  I carried it from Minnesota to the stone crab boats of SW Florida, and my new friends in the Everglades loved it - some still remember me by it.. ha!

Felt sorry for them, kind and gentle souls they were.           

 
Yeah, I can't imagine fans of this band having a lot in common with fans of Nazareth. Not a good fit. 

It's a Beautiful Day reminds me a little of Will Ferrell and Anna Gasteyer as Marti and Bobbie Culp, the middle-aged squares teaching high school music: 

 

I think the Culps are lagging a bit in talent, though.

David LaFlamme played a small local dive club on South State Street here years ago. He was actually born in Salt Lake City and his mother was Mormon. Didn't remember that... https://www.davidlaflamme.com/ Anyway we both happened to head to the men's room at the same time where we both peed and had a rather awkward conversation at the same time. In the show he was amazing, way better than that club deserved. He played the violin behind his back (still not sure how he did that). He and Linda played the Salt Lake Arts Festival one summer about the same time. Also present: John Prine and Laurie Anderson. That was quite a summer. He also has played with the Utah Symphony: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It's_a_Beautiful_Day 

There are other great songs on this album: Girl with no Eyes and Bombay Calling are spectacular. The album is best enjoyed whole IMO.

Yes, it's easy to make fun of this ripe cheese, but I don't mind saying I liked it then and I like it now.

i'm starting to realize there were quite a lot of 60's vocalists who had a slickian voice—-this one's pattie santos it says—-there were even some fellas who sounded like her—-maybe
because they were often folkies before psychedelia kicked in.

Grace Slick on backing vocals? It' too hot and I'm too lazy to look it up.
