You did an incredible job on this video. One of my favorite Association songs.

[@dntamuu76]

Rest in peace, Terry Kirkman. This is one of the best songs he ever wrote.

[@robbynealzucker3408]

So sad to hear this song is amazing

[@dontworrybehappy8080]

From Chino, no?

[@HappyPoppyFlowers-nr4jh]

No way ! Remember when this tune came out when I was freaking 10 ; mid 1/68 , and 2 mos later my uncle was Kia in NAMs Central Highlands , tail end of TET mid3/68 2wks n-4 my11th bday !!

[@es9947]

It's my favorite song by the Association. Terry Kirkman was very talented.

[@kelvissnyder2134]

This song so reminds me of my dearly departed wife. She had a magic/sprite air about her that was infectious. She never met a stranger. I'd watch her strolling the yard in her rob on a Saturday morning sipping a cup of coffee cat on her the left, dog on her right. Pure poetry in motion. Thirteen years later I still bask in the glow from her. A treasured memory to be sure...

[@shirleypena4133]

RIP to one of THE finest songwriters that America has ever produced: Terry Kirkman. Terry was also a mighty fine singer, too! It is positively criminal that The Association are still not inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

[@jlbaker2000]

He was also a multii-nstrumentalist who mostly played the flute in the band,

[@brucewehner9677]

I agree. Definitely one of his best and my favorite song.

[@cherryprs]

As great as these guys were-this is definitely my favorite song by them. This one checks all the boxes. Simply magical in every way.

[@cherryprs]

I would have to agree with you on this. This song checks All the boxes. Probably their greatest song.

[@jamescpotter]

This song is a masterpiece. I'm so grateful The Association filled the airwaves in the 60's.

[@realestateandmortgageservices]

I saw and met Terry Kirkman many years ago at a concert. He was a true gentleman. And a very talented singer & songwriter. RIP.

[@caryheuchert]

A great song. Reminds me a lot of the Moody Blues.

[@kauailovetkna]

The Association was an extremely popular group in the 60's. The Lyrics, Melodies and Harmonies in their songs were fantastic. Brings back memories.

[@denabergman6543]

Aawww…RIP Terry Kirkman. This one song captured a sweet moment of my teen years. Beautiful memories. ❤️

[@user-gu7kt8jn5b]

Just read Terry passed last September. May he rest in eternal piece

[@frankdariano]

I got to know Terry in the last few years of his life. Such a kind and talented guy. RIP.

[@thetreasurehouse1742]

Rest in peace, Mr. Kirkman. Thank you for the beauty.

[@go234ko96ts5]

After Cherish, this is my next best by this classy group of guys who can really harmonize and bring back many good memories from the 60's. This is music I will always Cherish.

[@yippie8793]

Each generation contributes the soundtracks for those lives. The Association has my appreciation for their beautiful songs I’ve carried through mine 😊

[@montiac22]

Kudo's To Hal Blaine for another stellar performance in the studio to lay the ground work for so many drummers in these 60's bands to learn from.

[@Mike-a_rama]

Thank you for the music Terry Kirkman, RIP brother! 😢

[@davelouis4004]

Beautiful song , a favourite !

[@Spacedoutcadet73]

Brilliant... I love Jim Yester.......Blessings on them all and their families....🥰❤️🙏🏻👼🏻🕊

[@michaelroot1960]

I love The Association.

[@meandthemrs7403]

My favorite Association song.

[@smurfstoolsoldiesmusictimemach]

Same here.

[@frankdanfelt7059]

I attended several shows by them. They were amazing 🤩

[@frankiedino60s]

The only band in my late teens and 20's that really affected my emotions back then and today...thanks for. being part b of my life....the drummer was from my home town San Pedro, California.

[@oldprankster7606]

For a brief moment in the 60s, this group was musically transcendent. The harmonies, the reliance on the base guitar. No one, before or since, has ever sounded like them. Or even attempted to do so. This particular song is so darn interesting. The ending is a clarion call to the worship of love. Who ever ended a song like that?

[@OUTRONAUT]

A freakin’ masterpiece. ❤️

[@Alan-lv9rw]

One of my top 10 songs.

[@smurfstoolsoldiesmusictimemach]

It's definitely a great one.

[@tomcat3360]

A real pop masterpiece! Fantastic syncing with the stereo track! Thanks for making this come alive after 56 years! I was 13 and loved them.

[@smurfstoolsoldiesmusictimemach]

Glad you like it, Tom. Thank you!

[@22Tomidjah]

Lyrics In my most secure moments, I still can't believe I'm spending those moments with you And the ground I am walking, the air that I breathe Are shared at those moments with you You love for real, you show the feel Of everything that touches you In the songs I've been singing, quite often a phrase Comes close to the feeling of you But I never suspected that one of those days The wish of a song would come true You love for real, you show the feel Of everything that touches you You are of gracefulness, you are of happiness You are what I would guess to be most like What I've been singing of Love, love, love, love In the songs I've been singing, quite often a phrase Comes close to the feeling of you But I never suspected that one of those days The wish of a song would come true You love for real, you show the feel Of everything that touches you Love, love, love, love Everything is love, love Love, love, love, love Love, love, love, love Love, love Everything is love, love Love, love, love, love Love, love, love, love Love, love Everything is love, love Love, love, love, love Love, love, love, love Love, love Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Terry Kirkman

[@dicklennon]

Sounds like Hal Blaine and Joe Osborn on drums and bass. Great track!! One of my all time faves..

[@bruschmidt9943]

How come you don't think it was Bluechel on drums?

[@dicklennon]

@@bruschmidt9943 The Hal Blaine web page listed this as a song Blaine played on. Just going by that. Usually Hal and Joe were a team on these recordings.

[@marks.3303]

@@bruschmidt9943 Unfortunately, the record company required them to use studio musicians so they'd record it quickly. But if you hear them play live (tons of concert footage on KZbin) you can see they were excellent musicians. Ted Bluechel was a good drummer, and he also wrote some great songs.

[@John-pc3cx]

Killer bass line

[@BillDerBerg]

Rest In Peace Terry.

[@westrig180]

This video is really timeless and hypnotic. Their expressions and groove while each is singing is, to me, showing they do honestly enjoy and are serious about their music. It also gives us all a glimpse back in time when songwriting and performing were truly the heart n soul of that era's music. Am lucky to have been a young kid growing up listening to these guys and many others during those times and cherish ( no pun intended) those years greatly.

[@fueledbylove]

"Bones" Howe produced this, and many of their albums, amazing production, engineering & music on Birthday, The Association S/T, and Insight Out

[@scottrogoway7034]

A true 60s anthem. Irreplaceable!

[@mistery-ed7900]

I think this was their best.

[@strothermartin5368]

Brings back memories of Elementary school. Marybeth where are you?

[@garyjohnson7133]

We are losing all the great ones!❤️❤️

[@themagicsinthemusic3810]

Way, way beyond classic!! Saw them do this in concert more than once. A super group in my opinion. So great to see the video and hear a great stereo mix. Thanks so much for this!

[@smurfstoolsoldiesmusictimemach]

Thanks very much Jim!

[@Majnun74]

One of my favorite records !

[@beergeek123]

Should have been a #1. Great tune!

[@smurfstoolsoldiesmusictimemach]

I agree!

[@sandtalanders156]

I like there harmony. Remember hearing this, thumbs up! 😊🎶🎤🎸🎶💌

[@smurfstoolsoldiesmusictimemach]

Many thanks!!

[@franksanfilippo5148]

My favorite Association song since first hearing it on AM radio, back in February, 1968.

[@frankdanfelt7059]

One of their best. Thanks for the memories

[@bobzwol]

Ah HA! Their appearance on "The Smother's Brothers Comedy Hour". Fantastic synch job, Sammy! Perfect! I believe this was their last top-10 hit. I still love it 54 years later. [Gotta love “The Wrecking Crew” on this track]. Thanks for putting this one together!

[@smurfstoolsoldiesmusictimemach]

Thanks a bunch, Bob! Yes it was their last big hit!

[@mrs.johnjohnson7634]

So Dreamy, The Harmonies...

[@bruschmidt9943]

Total Masterpiece by The Association. This is my new top-fav song in Spring 🌱🌼 2023, some 55 years later 😌

[@mono_to_STEREO]

Awesome work Sammy! Great song! Thanks! 👍👍

[@smurfstoolsoldiesmusictimemach]

Thanks very much Chris!

[@francesmagro5468]

Remembering Jesus & all He taught us.

[@trismeg]

Magnífico!

[@jacob6657]

Very good matching the stereo to video Sammy.

[@smurfstoolsoldiesmusictimemach]

Thanks again Jacob.

[@ealymaysshow]

Nice.

[@KellysClassics]

I remember this song.Oddly,I rarely hear it on Sirius or AccuRadio 60s streaming...love the set...that set is the look of a high quality program that ran on Sunday nights live fr New York...great job on this 😊

[@smurfstoolsoldiesmusictimemach]

Thanks Kelly.

[@Fingerling2012]

Heard it the other day on sxm 60s gold really good song, love 60s music

[@karensmith8802]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@dannymarz2568]

GRRRREAT SONG!!!!!

[@trinalaios734]

This song is incredibly complex and multitracked out the wazoo. How in the hell do you even write something like this. They must’ve had a team of 25 engineers to figure this shit out.

[@bruschmidt9943]

Terry Kirkman, the lead singer with sideburns & beige suit wrote the song. I have a feeling you're correct on multi-tracking. It sounded like much more than 6 guys could've sung on stage. He is 83 years old today in Mar 2023.

[@sheg1969]

Do you think they'll ever tour again?

[@kimwood9119]

I like this song, and "Time for Living". Do you have a video of "Time for Living"?

[@smurfstoolsoldiesmusictimemach]

Yes but it's not allowed on KZbin.

[@jackieguccione94]

Good song but if i want to hear this record ill just play it at HOME

[@pauleypavillion6088]

Amazing this is 55 year old video and all in this video here are elderly or dead by now in 2023.

[@liborsionko]

Very nice but contrived: Donovan, Catch the Wind, and Byrds-esque

[@marks.3303]

Nonsense. The only similarity is that they all have folk roots. Donovan didn't invent that kind of finger-picking and the songs sound nothing alike. The Association were already playing electrified folk before the Byrds even formed.

[@kennygr8ify]

RIP Terry Kirkman.
