You would never know that the 1960s were teen heaven from this song. It is very effectively morbid, lyrics, music, the way it is sung. You would swear that this is a guy who's long time wife is dead so he wallows in sadness by hanging around the places they used to walk together. What is astounding is the musical sophistication of a 16 year old, at least for one shot. One of the greatest one hit wonders.
