This song makes me feel all kinds of happy. I still remember the first time I listened to it with my Dad (my music guru) and I kept asking him why he'd kept it a secret from me for so long! I remember the 6-hr road trip I spent driving alone (and lost) through the beautiful stretches of land in Pennsylvania, listening to this song on repeat and experienced one of those moments when I felt so darned alive-- like I had one more thing figured out than when I first woke up that spring morning. This totally amazing and amazingly underrated (or is that just my generation?) band also put words to a feeling I'd so long tried to sum up. Finding the kind of love that made you feel "in bloom." And ah yes, I will always fondly remember when my dad's band decided to whip this number out one night at one of their gigs. I distinctly remember how my dad looked, his face aglow and his smile alive. His smile really does something to you (in a nut shell, his ever easy-going nature is widely contagious), and I hope this songs does something for you, too. For the already familiar ol' fans, enjoy.
and now, a quarter of my life has almost passed, I think I've come to see my self at last.
the the time that i spent confused, was the time that i spent without you. and i feel myself in bloom. -thelovinspoonful
