We have a Cabin, perched on a cliff, above a cove on a lake. Off grid. There is a Creek running through the woods, downhill from the Cabin, that runs after it rains, and in the winter on warm days when the snow starts to melt. It becomes swift in the spring with the snow pack melting and the spring rains. There are many waterfalls, and deep cool pools along the Creek's journey to the lake. The Creek changes a little every year, and sometimes throughout the season! There are Dragonflies in the air, catching bugs, and spring wildflowers growing everywhere, on the hill, in the woods, and along the shore of the lake and the Creek. Phaedra was a Cretin Princess, and the wife of Theseus, King and Founder Hero of Athens. Phaedra is the Greek word for "Bright". So, because of the Dragonflies, and the Flowers Growing on the Hill, the way the Creek changes and Gives Life, I call HER, Phaedra.
i listen to Art Bell still, the old re-runs when i go to sleep, and sometimes i wake up at 3am when this song comes on. it's so haunting. and makes me fall back to sleep peacefully
been looking for this song for 14 years, heard it first on Coast 2 Coast with Art Bell and laying in bed past 1am hearing stories about UFO's and Ghosts and then this song will come up and it created an eerie psychedelic trance in my mind.. finally found it
Coast 2 Coast brought me here. This song is a weird hybrid. The Nancy Sinatra parts are ethereal like a ghost child strolling through a field of wildflowers. The Lee Hazlewood parts are salty like a cowboy coming home to his old flame.
I was also a huge Art Bell fan. I Loved all this bumper music, especially the song (Big Log) and (You got lucky) by Tom Petty. Because of Art, I am still a night owl...
@@claudiabranch7613 Same here. Heard this listening to Art. Been listening to C2C for three decades now and still a night owl. Keep an open mind and question everything ✌️
@@dwightschrute7021 I Love the office, but I Love you most of all. I should have known that you possessed some of your TV character. Your loving C2C with Art Bell says a lot....
This song brings me a lot of memories, when I was a truck driver and Art Bell's coast to coast helped me keep awake while driving at night! God bless him Wherever you are thank you!😢
Like so many other great and unique songs, I learned about this from Art Bell. It brings back so many memories of laying in bed in a state of enchantment. 2 or 3 a.m. having haunting and mysterious buffer music, like this one, fill my being - building the kind of excitement and anticipation for the next segment that made me feel like something rare and Amazing was going to happen. Either that night, the next day, or surely sometime in my life. Still grieving the loss of Art, this one's dedicated to you Art! Remember how JC called in and made fun of this song??! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😁😁😁😁😭😭😭😭
A very bold composition.. I can only imagine how it stopped listeners in their tracks back in 1967, and it still transports you with its mysterious, mutable storyline, the singers' excellent phrasing of their opposing melodies both telling of the same woman and ending in a fractured, colliding and dissonant endless loop.
This is the song that my parents named me from so it is close to my heart. I still have the album Nancy & Lee that was their's. My parents did play with the first letter and liked the way it looked better with an "F". So here I am - Faedra.
I heard this song for the first time today, just here at work. I had to stop what I was doing & I just had to listen to these ethereal voices! What a beautiful piece of art this song is!
heard it on art bell years ago. trippy tune. use to fall asleep listening to art bell late at night then would wake up when this song would come on during the break.
I remember singing along with my sisters as this played on WJR am radio in Detroit thinking we were transported to some magical Disney place. 8-year old imagination ignited by the most otherworldly cool song I ever heard as a kid.
This beautiful haunting duet - and yes an art bell favorite- reminds us of the efforts of our generation- And sadly the lack of creative talent surrounding the music of today with few exceptions.
I absolutely adore this song. It's such a dreamy sixties ambient vibe. I first heard it in the salon where I worked in San Francisco on Haight St. in the 90's. It took me a long time to find who sung it. I'm hooked and revisit this whenever I get a feeling.
Great song....sounds as good today as it did some 45 years ago....while the lyrics aren't exactly coherent, the song is still absolutely spellbounding and haunting. And her part is about as ethereal as it gets.
Haunting, surreal, psychedelic yet eerily beautiful. First heard a glimpse of this tune twenty years ago as bumper music on a late night episode of Art Bell on his radio program. Never forgot that unique sound. Never heard it again till recently, at of all places, a Starbucks. Now modern world that we are, all I needed was a piece of the lyric to plug into one of the many apps that can find a song with just the bare minimum of lyrics. Phaedra is my name. Quite distinctive words. And behold, up pops-- Some velvet morning. I'm going to share this song with all. Oh the glories and wonders of this modern age. It's great to be alive at this time, in this place.
"Great to be alive in this time, in this place." I think THAT remains to be determined by history; but it certainly IS true that we have HUGE amounts of information literally at our fingertips these days. But you have to risk the deep web and the dark web to access up to 90% of it.
First heard this on Art Bell's show many years ago. I think this is the oddest song, but I come back every once in a while to listen to it. It has a western kinda feel to it.
I was in 4th grade when I first heard this. I thought it was beautiful, and that my own name was too plain. I was determined to legally change it to "Phaedra" when I got old enough. I was determined for years! Frankly, now that I'm nearly 54, I'm glad I didn't. lol!
I just heard this bumper on an old '02 Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell and his comments about it. Super mems of the '60s are still sweet as ever. Play it again Sam. (030814)
I was a teenager when this song was popular. I was completely entranced by it. I wanted to be Phaedra--a mystical, enchanting siren. At least that's how i saw her.
I just heard this on a re run of coast to coast am with art Bell. I think I first heard it on his show back in the 90s before Google search was available. Truly haunting and beautiful.
Just saw Nancy Sinatra's 1967 TV special " Movin' with Nancy" on TCM. She and Lee did several of their hits,. This was always one of my favorites. Hadn't hear it for years. Great song, Lee very underrated writer.
I heard this First on coast to coast as well. I still recall being half awake..stories of ufo activities, and this song running as bumper music...it was so eery it gave me chills .... I will never be able to consider this just a SONG ...The funny thing is I finally figured out what the song was by searching the web for SPOOKY DUET, hahahah
In the top 5 of '60s duos, Lee had a voice that was really easy on the ears, and Nancy was just one of the sweetest blondes of that era. Got some of their albums.
I had the hots for Nancy. Got my hands on a picture of her from a movie magazine and stuck it on the wall of the little hole in the ground I lived in near Chu Lai South Vietnam 1966. Prettiest thing around.I was with B/14.
I love this beautiful song...I hope to meet a man with that manly baritone voice..I would listen to him night and day...Lee Hazelwood is so under rated....talented musical and vocal super talent..
Ethereal, I was 9yrs old learning English from two elderly ladies from the church and two blue eyed girls in my glass, one girl was a tom boy and the other had large oval eyes..a dream. Hollywood CA in the early 60's. Wondered what ever happened to the girls, man was i lucky...thanks USA.
R. I. P. LEE HAZLEWOOD.. On this date August 4, 2007 singer, songwriter, and producer Lee Hazlewood passed away at the age of 78. Following discharge from the military, Hazlewood worked as a disc jockey in Arizona while honing his song writing skills. His first hit single as a producer and songwriter was "The Fool", recorded by rockabilly artist Sanford Clark in 1956. Hazlewood partnered with pioneering rock guitarist Duane Eddy, producing and co-writing a string of hit instrumental records, including "Peter Gunn", "Boss Guitar", "Forty Miles of Bad Road", "Shazam!", "Rebel-'Rouser" and "(Dance With The) Guitar Man". Hazlewood is perhaps best known for having written and produced the 1966 Nancy Sinatra U.S./UK No. 1 hit, "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" and "Summer Wine". He also wrote "How Does That Grab Ya, Darlin'", "Friday's Child", "So Long, Babe, "Sugar Town" and many others for Sinatra. Among his most well-known vocal performances is "Some Velvet Morning", a 1967 duet with Nancy Sinatra. Hazlewood performed that song along with "Jackson" on her 1967 television special Movin' With Nancy. Early in 1967 Lee also produced the number 1 hit song for Frank & Nancy Sinatra "Somethin' Stupid". He wrote "Houston", a 1965 US hit recorded by Dean Martin and Hazlewood also wrote "This Town", a song that was recorded by Frank Sinatra that appeared on his 1968 album Greatest Hits. Hazlewood was semi-retired from the music business during the 1970s and 1980s.
I was 13 years old when I first heard this song. My father had bought a Nancy Sinatra's Greatest Hits record at a library book sale in 1991. I felt this intense connection to this track and still do to this day at age 34 =)
Eric Benoit It was part of a Nancy Sinatra tv special that was produced sometime in 1967. There's another clip of Nancy singing "Sugar Town"(which itself was a coded reference to dropping acid) that you can also find on You Tube.
I heard this all the time(8 year old's memory)on am 760 WJR Detroit the year it came out then never again, even on oldies programs. Thanks Mom for always picking the best radio stations.
This song was never supposed to be attempted to be preformed by anyone other then lee hazlewood and nancy sinatra many music artist and bands all who failed to come close to capturing the spirit of the song in its time line of 1967-1968 Long Live the spirit of the california flower children and hippy movement its a big part of american history and was critical to people standing up to the 1% trying to control the 99%
Agreed. Back then: music came from one's soul, where as nowadays: music has very little substance, and when it does: it's often because it's either imitating, or using a sample from Music from the past. I'm guessing it's a sign of the times- too much plastic, if that makes any sense!!!

Legit. My dad reckoned he dreamed of if and that's what I got called!
my names sinatra lmao
Hearing This Song on the Radio, it has been in my heart & head since I was in the 4th grade 1967/68.
Can we meet up ???
i listen to Art Bell still, the old re-runs when i go to sleep, and sometimes i wake up at 3am when this song comes on. it's so haunting. and makes me fall back to sleep peacefully
That's how I got here, all I could understand was open up your gate and I was able to find it from there
And that's also how I get to sleep
me too but i lost the Art Bell video! can you recall the episode title???
Art bell’s “Midnight in the desert” brought me here.

This song was so perfect as a bumper for Coast To Coast AM with Art Bell. Fit perfectly with the theme and feel of that show.
You are so right.. perfection.. Thought George Noori took over the reigns?
@@butterfly2604 He did. Hasn't been the same since.

Just heard on C 2C.

And a great singer.
Didn't vanilla fudge write this song?

I came here looking for it too, because of hearing it in between spots on Coast 2 Coast. Beautifully haunting.

The Nancy Sinatra parts are ethereal like a ghost child strolling through a field of wildflowers. The Lee Hazlewood parts are salty like a cowboy coming home to his old flame.

There will never be another show like Arts
Music like this is what made the 60's so special.
It WAS a time of much exploration and experimentation, in virtually every aspect of human existence. Even now, not all of the results are in.
even in at 1968 at age 10 - I already felt these mysterious VIBES - and KNEW - these 2 artists were SPECIAL
A very bold composition.. I can only imagine how it stopped listeners in their tracks back in 1967, and it still transports you with its mysterious, mutable storyline, the singers' excellent phrasing of their opposing melodies both telling of the same woman and ending in a fractured, colliding and dissonant endless loop.
"...Stopped listeners in their tracks in 1967..."
That it did. And not just the first time we heard it.
In my humble opinion, this is Nancy and Lee's most beautiful and, easily, the most haunting song they ever did together.
summer wine is a good one
HAUNTING and BEAUTIFUL .
this song gives me chills.

Such a haunting yet beautiful song. Several Goth groups have covered it, but this is the best. Live on, Lee!
I agree. Vanilla Fudge did an excellent cover, adding their brand of "hard rock/metal" to it!

I've NEVER heard music like this in my life😳❤❤❤ (captivating) Makes you want to cry,and repent.
I love this track. I come back to hear it constantly. It's magical.

Very pretty name. Never heard it until this song when I was 10. Peace! Jeff T., PGH PA And a really spacey song!

Are you a "gatekeeper"?
So am I...😂🤦♀️
DEFINITELY!!!!!!!One of their best recordings. Remember it well from 1967 when I was 21, now 71. Thanks for the post.
Summer wine is another good one.
I never heard it until 1974
Great days they were👍👍
Lee Hazelwood was a brilliant writer.
Like Ennio Morricone downed a bottle of whiskey
and grabbed his guitar and started writing poetry!

Never has there been two more perfectly matched singing voices.
Long time ago. I was young and in Nam in '67. I have to agree Lee needs more recognition. He has some good music.
His voice gives me chills.

"A" great song writer, that is!
Recalled after 55/56 ys.

I actually listened to this album as a kid. It was my mom's and I think I wore it out. Even after all this time I still remember the words.
God does this take me back to my Dad's giant record console and easy listening...& rock and roll. TCM playing '67 Movin w Nancy. Great days we had.
Spectacular. As is "Summer Wine".
I have a playlist of haunting melodies from my memories. I named it "some velvet morning".
The intro is so serene. Close your eyes and listen.
This song is quite unique, how the tempo constantly changes, very clever!

Yes, because music isn't music anymore.
Agreed! There really is no music/lyrics anymore.
Agreed. Back then: music came from one's soul, where as nowadays: music has very little substance, and when it does: it's often because it's either imitating, or using a sample from Music from the past. I'm guessing it's a sign of the times- too much plastic, if that makes any sense!!!
And no original thought! Just remakes of "vintage" better efforts. Vintage ,my ass!
