Edward's Song of the Month
Hello, it's Edward Moon here with his song appreciation club!
This month, we're looking at Horatio's Peace and Love song.
Peace and love!
It's changing colour!
Peace and love!
It smells like a VW van!
Peace and love!
It's trippy, man!
Peace and love!
First of all, let's explain some of the lyrics...
VW (Volkswagon) vans were very popular in the sixties...
If something is 'trippy', it is 'cool' or 'freaky'! 'Trippy' is a fairly new word, but it is of course based on the term '(psychedelic) trip', the experience that results from taking halacagenic drugs like LSD. See below for a a more accurate definition...
Musically, Horatio's Peace and Love song has a distinctive descending bassline, a technique that was very popular in the sixties. Listen to these!
But of course, like most things in music, Bach got there first. He was tripping out big time on descending basslines 250 years before everyone else!
Labels: Bach, Beatles, exercise, having it large, Music, sixties, tripping

I love Bach! Look at his hair - he is the original hippie!
I am a huge fan of the Beatles. Their music has inspired many of today's amazing musicians. They are still the best band for me.
I am a huge fan of the beatles .I have learned english listening their music Thanks you so much for this song , it's great !!
It's almost too much to believe that Bach was coming up with sentimental tunes long before either the Beatles or the top dating sites ever showed up. Now that I think about it, it might be a good idea for dating pages to add some romantic Bach music in the background to help get the lovebirds going.
