LOVE You Set The Scene

[@garethjenkins6273]

A magnificent finale to possibly the greatest album of all time.

[@eyraudpa]

It is ! Undoubtedly ! My number one for 56 years !

[@strexus]

Possibly the greatest? Only the VU and Nico comes close to this masterpiece.

[@woskres787]

Артур Гений Браво!!! 😊❤😎🤟👍👏🙏

[@user-qm7nw7vd5s]

Wonderful job, on the montage! Apparently this song is actually two or three songs, strung together in this arrangement, much like the Beatles’ “A Day in the Life” started out as two separate songs. There is a live performance of this, towards the end of Arthur Lee’s life that is breathtaking.

[@danabrahams7892]

the string parts, but specifically the cello piece is fucking sublime... different from anything else and then the brass, oh dear god...

[@lilccaddy]

I don't know how long KZbin has been in existence. But 767 likes? For one of the greatest songs of all time? With real clips of the band? It has been up since 2017. If we didn't know the world was upside down before, we do now. Jump

[@prezooom4307]

Well it's 7.7 k Now Plus Me My friend 🙏 it's looking like heads are waking up. Arthur Lee and Love deserves a place in the Halls of Rock and Roll museum 🙏

[@jazzisall1]

What a revelation to watch this. I never lived in LA so my daily life back then was different but that's my generation and the music of Love was part of my life. I loved their music and got their 3 albums and today, at 81 I am just as in love with their music as I was back then.

[@georgettefusco5969]

still resonates now. I'm 70 years old. It's all about the LOVE.

[@vibesinthesky]

Love is all you need 😂

Arthur Lee and Love were both criminally and commercially underappreciated during their time together. Nice to get a taste of their genius. Damn!

Gets better with age. It reminds me of my sister, who brought this iconic record home when it was released. It defined our lives, and opened our world. Thanks, Pamela, rest in peace and Love. ❤

[@beanotraffini681]

Jac Holzman, founder of Electra Records (Love's label), stated in his biography that in his entire career he had only encountered two legitimate musical geniuses: one of them was Jim Morrison and the other was Arthur Lee...

[@eurostarnamastar3128]

This song has to be one of the most beautiful and powerful ever written and recorded! The poetic lyrics, melodies, time changes, chilling violins and orchestral accents..... ...far surpasses anything ever out of California..... above the Byrds, Beach Boys, The Doors and the Eagles! As of 2021, 'You Set The Scene' still remains, like fine art....timeless and classic! It contains a depth and beauty within it's body. I refer to it as Audio Art, a reflection into Laural Canyon from the Muse on Mt Olympus! May Arthur Lee & Love always be remembered for this epic piece!!

[@fantasypgatour]

Yeah this has always been somewhat of a holy grail of songs within my circle of friends, but to be honest the whole album is.

[@louisvanrenen947]

Totally agree, glad to hear that others feel this way, as I have been a fan of this group, particularly second and third album, for many years

[@sooperheep]

Totally agree, btw ever hear of the Make Up? They were heavily influenced by Love

[@andymurday4538]

This is an epic song. Period.

[@edboggo5488]

Rediscovered Love recently, and its the most beautiful feeling to listen to it now. I say rediscovered cus my dad played a lot of different 60/70s psychedelia for me when i was a kid, but ofc i never remembered what it was. And now its like i found a forgotten little part of me through this incredible music. Absolutely love this album :)))

[@Warp75]

[@davidmurray2539]

Can't name a more brilliant band from that golden era and over the decades of listening they've become increasingly and endlessly...interesting.

[@AeroTurnip]

I was so blessed to see Arthur play in Cambridge in 2003, I reckon.

[@kristinfredriksson1212]

Like many, I happened upon Love's music because I am heading to a local concert/dinner venue (small cap) to see a band I never heard of prior, but I knew "Alone Again or..." by the Damned which was on the play sheet. Once I did my typical deep dive, I came to the surface wanting to devour ALL their music! I am obsessed with Love! 7 and 7 is, is, in my mind, one of the first punk songs. Those drums and that vocal! Absolutely amazing!

[@kevinc809]

I can't stop listening to this.

[@ronniecanada]

Me neither

[@walterfechter8080]

This is music for a hurting world -- the world of 2020. This sound brought me through the 1960s through to the present. "...Time, Time, Time, Time..."

Forever Changes. The best record of all time or just the most gorgeous rock record ever. There will be time for You to Put Yourself ON . And it's basically 4 songs in One.

[@WocklessGamingforAnimeMoms]

It's a pretty simple mix of Roots Music too,just not the standard Blues based one as much.

I met and videotaped the great #ARTHURLEE... #LongLiveLove, a flame of inspiration from the 60's. Great footage.

[@christopherhuot2826]

[@jeffthepoet7]

Thanks Sky Vibes for Setting the Scene with this video. Love the poster with Love, The Doors, and Canned Heat. I had 3 older brothers who introduced me to those bands. We lived in LA, and they saw Love and The Doors perform at the Whiskey and Hollywood Bowl. They took me to the Beatles' last concert when I was 9, but I missed Love.

[@vibesinthesky]

jeffthepoet7 what a shame. I live in England so never got the chance to see the original line up, but I did get to see Arthur Lee when he toured Forever Changes a few years ago. There’s a few other Love videos on my channel, you might want to check them out. Thanks for watching!

[@dannyhood4007]

I remember seeing this album in my aunts record collection decades ago early 80s? I didn’t listen to it pause I thought it would be soft like ‘byrds. Endless record collection stuff, Bands I never heard of before my time, at that time. I didn’t like mtv music unless it was April wine heavy which became extinct by 1984.

[@rhmaccracken]

I saw them once on Sunset at a club called The Hullabaloo (which later became the Aquarius Theater). Bryan MacLean was a big part of that band. If Arthur Lee was Lennon, MacLean was McCartney.

[@APOLLOCHAMPAGNE]

I worked at the Aquarius as an usher for Hair

[@mounts655]

But eventually as with Lennon/McCartney…they locked horns

[@LeeEisenstein]

Also saw them at the Hullabaloo. The night when the power went out and Brian, in a very quiet voice, told a hilarious short story about bears. Fantastic band and a lifelong fan. For a time my brother played bass in the production of, "Hair", which if memory serves, was at the same location. Saw later incarnation of Love in Hawaii. Also great. I frequently list Love and Beefheart as the two most musically important bands and they both came out of the L.A. area.

[@cawtheshots]

Always and forever is LOVE💋💯

[@waltford8353]

Thanks for this.My Brother came home from the war and turned my young mind onto Love.They have been a big part of my Musical like ever since.

Poet Laureate Arthur Lee putting himself on. This is the time and life that I am living And I'll face each day with a smile For the time that I've been given's such a little while And the things that I must do consist of more than style There'll be time for you to start all over

[@oppothumbs1]

There will be time for you to put yourself. I see your picture it's in the same old frame .. we meet again. I want to love you but Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh You are just a thought that someone Somewhere somehow feels you should be here And it's so for real to touch To smell, to feel, to know where you are here And the streets are paved with gold and if Someone asks you, you can call my name You can call my name I hear you calling my name, yeah All right now!

Hello for another week of RetroCountdown. Good to see the Beatles back at number 1 in the singles charts hey. Unfortunately the Australian band picked by you.....can't all be together until next week.....so they will be here next week for sure. This week's Ep. is a double Ep. and it is pretty special. One of my favourite albums of the 60s is Love's "Forever changes".It consistently makes the best albums of all time lists. To me, it evokes a sensation of what 1967 as a 6 year old felt like....along with "Bookends" "Sgt Peppers" and "Astral weeks". I love this album. Their record company has allowed us access to their catalogue.... Available tomorrow for $2.00 Will be a double Ep. of 6 songs "You set the scene" "And more again" "Red telephone" "The good HUMOUR man" "7 and 7 is" and "always see your face". We Will be releasing singles from classic albums of the past from time to time in the future. You lucky things. Day 6965. 5 x 7 x 199. Raw honey and all of my urine til 5.15pm then fresh and dried figs and sprouts and Muscat grapes then more urine. No change.

Classic Ending to a Classic Album. I hear he thought he was going to die when this was recorded. It somehow I feel definitively captured most of Western Music up to that point.

[@danielrose3434]

Love's best Album, he fell out with Bryan McLean who then left, then a bit later he sacked the rest, I don't think they could have bettered this Album so maybe it was for the best. Absolute classic to this day and the Forever Changes Live he toured is every bit as good.

There's a private in my boat and he wears Pins instead of medals on his coat There's a chicken in my nest and she won't Lay until I've given her my best At her request she asks for nothing You get nothing in return If you want she brings you water If you don't then you will burn You go through changes, it may seem strange Is this what you're put here for? You think you're happy and you are happy That's what you're happy for There's a man who can't decide if he should Fight for what his father thinks is right There are people wearing frowns who'll screw you up But they would rather screw you down At my request I ask for nothing You get nothing in return If you're nice she'll bring me water If you're not then I will burn This is the time and life that I am living And I'll face each day with a smile For the time that I've been given's such a little while And the things that I must do consist of more than style There are places that I am going This is the only thing that I am sure of And that's all that lives is gonna die And there'll always be some people here to wonder why And for every happy hello, there will be goodbye There'll be time for you to put yourself on Everything I've seen needs rearranging And for anyone who thinks it's strange Then you should be the first to want to make this change And for everyone who thinks that life is just a game Do you like the part you're playing I see your picture It's in the same old frame We meet again You look so lovely You with the same old smile Stay for a while I need you so, oh, oh, oh, oh And if you take it easy I'm still teethin' I want to love you, but Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh This is the time and life that I am living And I'll face each day with a smile For the time that I've been given's such a little while And the things that I must do consist of more than style There'll be time for you to start all over This is the time and this is the time

[@hectoraguilar965]

@@Onlydarkmemoriesremain You kinda had to be there, And it's just one song. Most Love fans grew up with them and have heard all their music, of which this was their last album. It was was a journey to see them do so much, with so many different styles and several band member changes. They were different and we thought the were cool. Those of us in LA would hear about them playing in Hollywood clubs like The Whiskey along with the Doors, The Birds and the Buffalo Springfield. They did rock, soft rock and even some jazzy stuff (Da Capo). This particular album was the brain child of Lee, who concocted the horns and violin arrangement on his own at the very young age of 20/21. It was just good music and appealed to many of us who would stop and actually listen. But just hearing the one song is not enough to appreciate what Love's fans love. For most of us, we just kinda grew up knowing them. Have a listen to the album, Forever Changes, you might like it, or maybe its just not you cup of tea. That's OK too. Peace.
