Another great tune from Forever Changes, eight days later. This is a breezy little number, but way cooler than any similar 60s pop, like The Association or Gary Puckett. It's all about the genius of Arther Lee. No one else like him.
It is a really long title for a song. I am not going to type it again, just look up there at the blog title if you need reminding.Starts off with an earnestly strummed Am chord, into Em and the start of the first verse - 'What is happening and how have you been, gotta go but I'll see you again.' I like the percussion during the verses, there is this little 3-2-3-2 count, kind of reminds me of Grandmaster Flash's The Message...'don't push me(3), 'cause I'm(2), close to the(3), edge(2). Kind of a stretch, but I can hear it.
Nice acoustic solos in middle and towards end, horn accompaniment also has a great flair to it. Maybe a little bit of Herb Alpert stepping in there? Ah, the carefree times of 60s LA, pre all that Manson garbage.
