The Lemon Drops - I Live in the Springtime.(lyrics).

I live in the springtime
I live in the springtime
There's no in between time
I live in the sunshine
In the summer, you walk around in the rain
I live in the springtime
In the winter you stay at home again
I live in the springtime
In the fall it ain't no use at all
I live in the springtime
I live in the springtime
There's no in between time
I live in the sunshine
Every day you lay out in the sun
Every night you stay out having fun
In the spring I love everyone
I live in the springtime
I live in the springtime
There's no in between time
I live in the sunshine
Every day you lay out in the sun
Every night you stay out having fun
In the spring I love everyone
I live in the springtime
I live in the springtime
There's no in between time
I live in the sunshine
I live in the springtime
I live in the springtime
There's no in between time
I live in the sunshine.---------------------------------------------The Lemon Drops were an American psychedelic pop band from Chicago, Illinois that formed in 1966.

Hearing this song as a kid all it did was just blow my mind.

[@user-fd7ll4rh3q]

Rick Ericksen, he was my dad and was their guitarist.

[@norrclub3219]

He was excellent and I hope that he is still doing well! This song is a tiny little masterpiece!

Which kid in the picture

[@Noomz-of-Earl]

garage-psych masterpiece from 1967

[@Noomz-of-Earl]

All the musical ingredients were here for a summer of 1967 (the "flower power" "summer of love") pop smash -- the psych-drenched driving guitar sound of the time with appealing folk-rock-influenced vocal harmonies and a big, catchy and carefree quasi-existential lyrical hook -- but the lack of a unified priority push behind it at the production/distribution/financial levels messed up the timing and it barely got noticed upon its late-summer release. Still, it was an amazing effort by a group of high schoolers from McHenry, IL; and it has not been forgotten.

[@danneeson7056]

The Buzzsaw version is also great.

[@keithcarley]

I just listened to this cut on the Nuggets collection, but there they have the version w/o the drum track that was released by mistake before this version. This is very different.

[@aguycalledsteve]

And the Nuggets collection one is way better tan this one (sorry)

[@JDrevolver66]

Ah, the 60s. Where even what at first seems like a repetitive fuzz-rocker is actually so musically sophisticated and unpredictable as to modulate between D major verse/chorus and Bb(!) major bridge.

[@michael69040]

D E F# G A Bflat Cnatural D = a useful Aeolian "mode" . D Eflat Fnatural G A Bflat C natural D is also useful

[@PavlosDimitriadis]
