"1969" "Morning Girl", The Neon Philharmonic (Remixed / Extended)

[@TheTaffycat1]

This song takes me back to a time when things seamed to be in reach for everyone. The music was meaningful. It was a wonderful time to grow up. If this country was the same now. Simple. No mass shootings in schools. Respect and music playing on the radio and record player. It couldn't get any better then that.

[@OzzyTunesIII]

Seems like yesterday :-)

[@johndevoe3798]

+dave rusty No school shootings except Texas Tower and Kent State, and our simple life included the constant undercurrent of dread induced by the cold war and the Soviet nuclear menace, then the draft. Not being a buzzkill, only pointing out some ugly facts.

[@OzzyTunesIII]

John DeVoe Seems like small potato's compared to what we're dealing with today. Maybe it seems that way because "social media" wasn't there to shove it down our throats! Whaddya think?

+tomlynn tigard Thanks for your support....i hope !!!

[@JOHNSTIER23]

Yes yes yes

[@davidgant9936]

This is my Dad! Heard it in the grocery store the other day.

[@Grouchomarxfamilyguy]

I hope your dad rests in peace

[@mianno58]

Awesome.. always always loved this song. I think I was 11. He’s a Brit?

[@bethhendricks5567]

Genius!

[@mikeyfromnj]

Hello David!! I was 16 when your Pop and the rest of the band released this very different tune, great blend of the band backed by the Nashville Orchestra, shame that he's gone, would have liked to see them perform this and the rest of "The Moth Confesses" album, another favorite of mine is "Heighty Ho Princess" Are you a singer as well?? If so, maybe you could perhaps sing these great songs!!

[@patrickelliot8763]

@@mianno58 Neon Philharmonic wasn't British.. from Tennessee, I believe. But in 1969 everyone was trying to sound British.

[@PerroSucio]

What a great song……I was only 13 when this song came out. Sitting here now with headphones on and listening takes my mind on a trip back to the sixties…..I had to snap myself back to today. What a great trip back, Gracias…….

[@Krissentials]

I appreciate your love for the song, and the dedication in your heart to create this for us. Thank you.

[@OzzyTunesIII]

I appreciate your words of appreciation, too! Thanks!!

[@Krissentials]

You are welcome :-)

[@rmtorig]

I knew Tupper personally had dinner at his home in Sewanee TN l tuned and serviced his piano. He was a true American Patriot !!!!!

[@LarryNeie-lj7zc]

Late sixties listening to my fm rock underground radio station when I was 16 and hearing so many songs like this that changed my taste in music.

[@nodlon20]

Loved this song. Played it over and over on my record player. Thanks for the memories~!

[@maureenlaffertysmith7253]

Big sigh for this beautiful coming of age song. It spins me back to a wonderful, mixed-up time of great music and exchanging ideas. So great to rediscover this song.

[@steppenwolf408]

This song brings back so many memories Thank you so very much for posting it

[@OzzyTunesIII]

Twas my pleasure, Steve. I'm so glad that you found it. :-)

[@colkilgore100]

Hey cuzz, gave ya a like.

[@scottdonnelly2201]

I NEVER understood why this song wasn't a big hit.

[@vincentdemidio7902]

Yeah, I agree. For me it was a coming-of-age story, because I was 14 at the time. The world seemed so large and new in 1969...Rock and Roll was king, Man landed on the Moon and there was Woodstock...1969 was the year that I first tried Marijuana.

[@bethhendricks5567]

It was for me.

[@patrickelliot8763]

As I remember it, it was a big hit. Maybe just in Chicago?

[@chuckf6163]

Never could understand why people spend their time looking for songs and videos they don't care much for just to leave comments on how they don't care much for it. That's so freakishly strange.

[@miguelofthehillcount]

A wonderful remix of one of my favorite songs. Thank you!

[@OzzyTunesIII]

Thanks for tuning in, and, You're Welcome :)

[@wayneburns5202]

Great song

[@giselacastro3121]

Thank you for putting this up! I have the vinyl version but no way to play. Love this song!

[@OzzyTunesIII]

You're very welcome! I love it too :-)

[@k1j2f30]

Great song and a great recording, crank it up with headphones on, wow! Reminds me when I bought my very first stereo Hi-Fi way back in 1972. It was a modular RCA that had the amp, turntable and speakers all separate and it cranked up pretty loud. The first album I bought for that stereo was Steely Dan "Reeling in the Years," and when I first played it, the stereo effect completely blew me away! I thought I was a pretty "cool dude" with that stereo set up back then, LOL. That era was also the beginning of my trip to wonderland and enlightenment through the use of the "Nobel Weed" and a little experimentation with some Magic Mushrooms and LSD. It lasted for about a year and a half and It was a magical time in my life, for sure. I don't regret it for a minute, It opened my eyes to a great number of things and taught me a lot about myself and the world around me. Those were some crazy, fun times and we had the best music ever!

[@2011paramedic]

A top 5 smash from 1969!!!!

[@2bdefacto]

Your very good at recording, sounds great. I appreciate that!

[@davidgant9936]

And Tupper Saussey. Maestro.

[@nealbfinn]

Don Gant was an excellent songwriter/producer in Nashville during the 60's and sings the lead vocal here. The Nashville Symphony Orchestra are the string and horn players. A very daring track with challenging background parts and hints of "Late Romanticism" in the harmony mixed with a 60's drumbeat. One hit Wonders, unfortunately. But still an interesting page of pop music history.

[@colkilgore100]

'...then go out and find your man where the wild wind blows...' Superb line.

[@kimduckworth5047]

Great song!

[@leiberfrasmilch]

The song is about the emptiness of one night stands .Morning girl was starting to feel the affects after the years.Realized llove is more than kiss's.She laments for an earlier time when things seemed more simple but it never really was.

[@vickiehicks490]

When I'm. Down I listen to this song

[@tomphillips5290]

"the good old days" - - - we had optimism and many possibilities, all good, back then. Now??????? Certainly not so much,

[@sharonnichols2922]

* The radio station that I listened to (KOY AM) did play the extended version. Dunno if they made this version in their edit bay. Or if there was a DJ version with the short version on one side of the 45 and this extended version on the other side. Releasing a DJ 45 with different versions was common. This version clips the edit by half a minute. *

[@noelcondez1448]

Reminds me of my senior high school days in antique, philippines

[@mercari734]

I most like the neo-classical (almost neo-barque/Bach-esque) elements - I remember this when I was senior in high school in 1969 . . .

[@Jameswilliamson405]

Love. Song

[@shirleymelvin8449]

Beautiful beautiful song

[@stevenchavez2886]

That voice. The first time I heard this song I thought it was Howard Kalen of the Turtles. Sounds a lot like him.

[@michaelhardin470]

This song took me to Vietnam.

[@robertmendez2548]

Spring time 1969 wonderful times those days Dairy Queen watching all the pretty girls Celtics beating Lakers 108 to 106 now coming up on 50 years Thank You GOD

[@VideoWhitehawk]

What a great song for Mississippi River Radio. Check out their address on google. -Texas Extras

[@JOHNSTIER23]

VideoWhitehawk it had a lot of air play in Philadelphia all stations played iteven the M. O R

[@PatrickBragg]

Ditto your comments one million fold!!

[@doorswhofan]

We definitely have a tendency to glorify the past -- "the good old days" -- and overlook the darknesses that existed in a prior era. They seem so insignificant in retrospect and in comparison to contemporary socioeconomic concerns and fears. That said, I *do* think this was a more optimistic time. Everything seemed possible, in spite of what was happening. Not so today. People seem to be staring into an abyss now. Apocalypticism is palpable. Songs like this were uplifting and full of hope. This is one of the reasons it seems so antiquated and from another time (not that it isn't anyway -- the passage of time does have its effects, regardless).

[@dougiemcclure]

Love this. Came out in 1968 tho.

[@OzzyTunesIII]

Incorrect! It came out in March of 1969!
