Rating: Have you seen what a wonderful cover?
Look at it, observe it, contemplate it... and listen to the album... you will be flying 9 meters above the sky... the album in question is from 67 ANNUS MIRABILUS you know...
The band is led by that NASH who will have great success with the trio CROSBY, STILLS & NASH... then adding YOUNG... another story different shores... the HOLLIES are melodic intrigued in the psychedelic verb of the aforementioned annus... excellent and very fresh music even today... sometimes calm and reflective with folk elements and small bursts, as was usual in that timeless era, with an oriental touch.
truly a great album... as was the trend of the time with an oriental touch.
Tracklist Lyrics and Samples
01 Dear Eloise (03:16)
(Clarke / Hicks / Nash)
Dear Eloise, I am writing to say
a number of funny thing I heard today.
I heard that he's left you and run off to sea.
Could be the best thing that's happened to me.
Writing a letter to make you feel better.
Sorry to hear that he left you that way.
I could have told you, he was much older,
so much older than you.
You rushed blindly, he treated you kindly
until he found out what he could get from you.
You should have departed before he got started.
Now you've been burned just like I said you would.
Please read my letter closely.
It's beneficial, too.
You must read in-between the lines,
a message you will see.
If you use your mind, you'll find
I want you back with me.
Verse 2
so much older than you, so much older than you.
chorus
09 Try It (03:08)
(Clarke / Hicks / Nash)
Travel by the silver line
to a place that has no time.
Why don't you try it now?
Working hard to see the light,
let your mind take up in flight.
Why don't you try it now?
It's beautiful, seeing all the colors of the rainbow,
beautiful, covering the people that we know.
See the color of health
flowing from your older self.
Why don't you try it now?
Living good, stopped playing games,
traveling the astral planes.
Why don't you try it now?

10 Elevated Observations (05:02)
(Clarke / Hicks / Nash)
On top of a hill is a nice place to be at,
Diggin' the country for miles around.
Watchin' the people like ants on a hillside,
Running around, running around.
So far below me I see the confusion,
Small-minded men with their small-minded wives.
If they could see themselves where I am standing,
They'd alter their lives, alter their lives.
And I'm so high up I touch the sky.
And I'm so high up I touch the sky.
Climb up here, jump up here,
Skip up, or run up.
Get up here somehow 'cos you'll find your head.
Finally finding the level you're after.
Ego is dead. Ego is dead.
And I'm so high up I touch the sky.
And I'm so high up I touch the sky.
Wish they'd start using the path of tomorrow.
There's only way up and one way down.
Decide for yourself on the path you'll be taking
When you look down, down and around.
And I'm so high up I touch the sky ...
12 Butterfly (02:41)
We met on the shore of a lemonade lake.
Weeping willows looked down where we lay.
Orange blossoms I smell in your hair.
Butterfly, flutter by, butterfly by.
Waterfalls send your ripples to us
here on the shore of the lemonade lake.
Pond lilies play hide and seek with the fish.
Rabbit run, run rabbit, rabbit run by.
Roaring mountain is standing close by,
covered with snowdrops and glistening with dew.
I hear the sound of a small hummingbird.
I took your hand and I waltzed off with you.
Come to the top of the mountain with me.
Jump on a cloud and we'll float to and fro.
Seeing the countryside covered with grass
and the top of the mountain with candy-floss and snow.
Butterfly lazily drinking the sun,
lavishly sprinkled and painted with gold.
Here in the land of the mist and the lake,
me and my true love will never grow old
