I’ve been listening to this song since its inception in ‘67. It’s as true now as it was then.

Heard the song again tonight, it has been many years since I last heard it. It is still one of my favourites and rings so true now as it did when it was popular.

I have loved this song since I first heard it…the musical arrangement is beautiful, and the message content is very upbeat, positive.

Garth Brooks disguised as Chris Gaines re-released this song differently in 1999, naming all the things possibly wrong in our community. The song was called Right Now and has the same message as the Youngbloods

One of the greatest songs ever written – surely by Divine Inspiration. Along with WOODSTOCK, a quintessential hippie anthem, yet as true today as ever.

A universal message to hopefully be carried throughout the generations.

I agree, wholeheartedly — that does mean, here, all of my heart — and entirely, with Jesse’s desire, with the possible exception of splitting infinitives.
I am yet hopeful it might be carried so. Tom Baker, too, is right and just in his appraisal, as least as I see it. These songs sing of the world I seek to create, and in which I would love to live. Peace be wi’ ye . . . past all understanding.

Wayne Youngblood is a personal friend of mine, and to this days he practices what he wrote oh so many years ago.
One of the most inspirational songs ever written.

yeah man..i’ve never heard the youngblood version but i’ve looked for it everywhere cause i really want to hear the rest of it. it seems like a good song that everyone should hear. im sorry im spun and i really feel nice and happy la-la now.

..and also maybe if everyone heard that song and really felt it i wouldnt always need to be strung out and apologize for stuff i didnt do. casue i always get this weird motherly attitude and want to comfort people, but if people would just act like human beings to each other (or NOT human beings because that seems to be the problem) i wouldnt have to comfort people because maybe we’d all be happy. i know that sounded kind of like a bunch of freaky ‘free-love, happy flowers, rainbows, butterflys and zebras, unicorns and pixies, fuzzy bunny’ bullshit…but its true.

Well shes walking through the clouds
With a circus mind thats running round
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairy tales
Thats all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind.
When Im sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free
Its alright she says its alright
Take anything you want from me, anything
Anything.
Fly on little wing,
Yeah yeah, yeah, little wing
Ain’t no fuzzy bunny bullshit girl, got to keep the mother rollin one more time

Mr. Babacock, Who is this Wayne Youngblood?
Wikipedia gives Chet Powers as the songwriter.
Googling Wayne Youngblood ID’s a book dealer.

“Come on people now, smile on your brother. Everybody get together try to love one another right now.“
Thats from the beggining of Territorial Pissings, a song by Nirvana

This song reminds me of the Vietnam War.
