the sky is falling - the gnomes (1966)

Great voice ❤

This song is timeless because the message still holds true today for all the chicken littles that are out there. We're living in Critical and dangerous times and one needs to be alert to what's going on around us. One can still enjoy life, that's being aware of one's surroundings because one can't view life through Rose Colored Glasses. That's what this song is talking about. Thanks for sharing it.

I keep coming back to this after first hearing it a few weeks ago.Pretty raw and scarce on the production, but that adds to its charm. I would like to hear it redone though, because everything has changed a lot, but nothing's changed at all.

Having listened to many of the CD collections and odd singles of my own... Ive noticed many 60's garage bands had a tendency to craft their "sound" around several of the immensely popular artists of the time BUT mainly the Beatles, Stones and Dylan. Its not hard to figure which of the 3 we are hearing on this disc!

[@davidotness6199]

Well, it was the mood of the times, a matter of social dissent and a cohesion of we the young in trying to 'right' the wrongs of our society. Obviously the 'wrongs' are extremely embedded, and tech is the battleground for supremacy now.

Simply gorgeous ballad. An absolute beaut. The flip side is a garage gem. Definitely, a two-sider. emma, not much info indeed, other than the two names on the label. There's a possibility that they were from Chicago or the Chicago area. It truly is a wonderful gem.

This is an absolute gem with a slight protest theme about it I feel but that said it sure cools my mind. Rog. Pacific sunset records.

It's quite weird that the printed "2:28" for playtime on the record as this video is clearly about a minute longer. Was it just a print error or a little lie to make DJs play it on the radio? Or a pressing error thatmade the record slower and longer? Or Emma's (our uploader) record player runs slower than 45rpm? A mystery for sure!

Gnomes are known for their tricks

[@theechickengamerz]

Probably DJs, Bob Dylan did that too
