Seven & Seven Is+Orange Skies+Your Mind And We Belong Together-Love


Keeping it West Coast and another 'biggie' with three tracks from Love. According to legend they would have been far better off calling themselves 'Hate' considering the bad vibes and clashes within the band, although if it wasn't for Arthur Lee we may never have had The Doors as he was supposed to have recommended checking them out to Electra records...
Great lyrics, great sound,great band. Love.

Why Do People HAve To Fight-Hervé Villechaize






In these times of hate and wars it's often good to sit back, relax and ask yourself, like Hervé does here, 'Why Do People Have To Fight'. Well, it's a biggie, unlike Hervé, who suffered from depression, alcoholism and health problems which lead to his suicide, shooting himself at home in 1993. .
'We know we're young, we know we're small, but love is all that matters to all'
Not sure how 'young' Hervé was when he did this, but he was small and thus could bond with the children in the song with his message of hope, perhaps Obama could adopt it as an unofficial anthem or something...

!Que Vida!-Love

One of my very favourite tracks from one of my very favourite bands-'!Que Vida!' by Love.
I think this track features pretty much everything I like about the band...the time changes, tone of guitar/sound and great vocals/melodies...not to mention the amazing lyrics!
This track is taken from the album 'De Capo', the predecessor to the more famous 'Forever Changes' and in my opinion De Capo would have been the superior album if they could have produced the quality of side one on side two, instead of the 17 minute long jam they filled it with...
I was lucky enough to see Arthur Lee with 'Love' perform at the RFH shortly before he died....very lucky indeed!
