about
Kick-off track from the "Black Light Revival" album, this tune attempts to celebrate the 'Sunshine Pop' sound of the late 1960's, and is an homage to the brilliance that was (and still is) The Association. If you require further proof, go check out their "Renaissance" and/or "Birthday" albums, from 1966 and 1968 respectively.
lyrics
Psychedelic Sunshine Pop Crusader,
I walk through the Hip-Hop Valley with my Pop-Art Savior,
Deliver us from Rap, and all that cloudy crap,
Rock & Roll creators, Sunshine Crusaders!
Psychedelic Sunshine Pop resilience,
Fill transistor airwaves with your brilliance,
Just listen to Jim and Russ, Larry, Ted, and Terry,
Jules and Brian,
Then you'll know why we're trying!
Now in the 60's bands could sing,
Seven guys could harmonize, it was no big thing,
Melting Winter into Spring!
Now Psychedelic Sunshine drifts to static,
I wonder why your signal's so erratic,
Your sound is heard late night,
on some distant satellite, where the vibe rings clearer,
(satellite of Rock & Roll)
and you seem much nearer.
