i have always liked the fact that this song means way more to me than anything that i can point to in any specific way.
i suppose that i like the courage, the optimism in how he announces that the relationship is, for now at least, over. this kind of news is usually a bummer, but in this song it feels... kind of exciting...
it is, after all, being sung in the fresh breezes of the Summer of Love- so who knows what either of us will find ourselves doing next... anything is possible... "wait and see how it will end..."
I don't know who is right, but i always heard the second verse saying "if you don't mind happiness, purple pleasure fields in the sun." purple pleasure fields in the sun- now there's some LSD 25 going on there! sounds warm and bright and... groovy.
"I see the people of the world- where they are and what they could be..." what a kind and generous invitation... i always want to climb into this gentle, happy, scattered little song and hang out at the Airplane House for a while.
in any event, as perhaps you can tell, for some reason, i have loved this song since the first time that i heard it.
I get that second verse as: If you don't find happiness/the full pleasure fields in the Sun". Ah but that is a lovely song...defines the difference between Balling and base promiscuity.
