Man I’m a 62 yr old black guy livin in Baltimore’s hood, but I can listen to these songs before I ever listen to rap music. These 60s pop groups made some beautiful music. Just a beautiful atmosphere around all these 60s songs.
Yes they did. I'm 57 and live in a Cleveland hood and I couldn't agree more. Love the old school Marvin Gaye songs, Al Green, The Zombies, The Animals, The Fifth Dimension. And Soooo much more.
I'm across the river in Alexandria. I totally agree with you. You close your eyes, and you are somewhere else. "Time of the Season " isn't just a song. It's a mood.. It's a moment. It's a feeling. It's an era. It transports you to a whole other world. I hear it, and I'm swaying to the music, moving my hips and my arms slowly with my eyes closed. I'm drifting away to someplace beautiful overlooking the water.
My social studies teacher is 63, super nice guy, never gives homework and gives minimal tests. He always starts the class by playing old fashioned music from when he was a kid, then sings and plays the tambourine. He played this today and I had to hear it again. He was born in 1961, the same year the school he works at was built. He always joked about seeing if he could outlast the school. The school is being torn down this year, he wins.
"Time of the Season" and "She's Not There" by the Zombies are two of the greatest rock songs ever recorded. Both have a sexy, moody and mysterious vibe to them that is quite unique.
I hope you have a good oldies/classic rock radio station nearby...our two biggest stations here are that . 73 yrs young, and still rocking...but not in a chair!...old drummer, karaoke, music all day...retirement is a good thing !😂
Groundbreaking for 1964, not even the Beatles had a song that year that was as somber and lyrically sophisticated as this, they were still doing mostly upbeat love songs. It still holds up today.
This song has captivated me for 50+ years. The arrangements, the off-beat of the drums, the keyboard tone and style, the dark theme and the amazing voice. Absolute perfection.
Yes ma’am we truly did and when you’re with that special someone just knowing that you can actually hear the words and enjoy the beat of the band. It was fantastic.
I’m 67 as of today and I love this. I remember when everyone was freaking out over their “long hair “ . Same with the Beatles. My dad blamed everything bad that happened on Ed Sullivan for bringing the Beatles to this country. To look at it now is amazing. They are well dressed young men who are very professional.
Sending healing love & gratitude to Rod Argent, who just suffered a serious stroke. your music will live forever. What a great record...one of many from the Zombies.
Only 64 here. This song came out in 65 when I was 5, so it's firmly entrenched into my childhood memories. AM radio hits of the 60's will never be outdone for me.
I am a 59 year old and you just made me smile. If I envy youth for one reason it is all of the wonderful music you have in front of you, yet to be discovered.
my introduction to this song was in 1979 with the UK Subs punk version... the Zombies version is much better of course, but I still loved the UK Subs version at the time ua-cam.com/video/Aur8Miwq9Rc/v-deo.html Have to say I do appreciate younger people now getting in to the music I loved when I was young. The music of the 60's and 70's (and for quite a few years beyond) was so inspired and diverse.. and young people today would gain SO much by broadening their outlook and listening to it.
corememoriess , i like your message , i feel the same about Colin Blunstones voice ,, no one can match it , then now and always hes so unique xx lol JANE X
Too bad most artists of today, not all, can't construct well-arranged songs. Melody is all over the place and not tight. Even garage rock had better tunes than today's songs. Shame, shame.
Yeah the bass playing was great.. Rod Argent's keyboard on the early albums. Amazing sounds and their high vocals. They stood apart from the other bands,. I wish they had recorded a few more albums with the founding members, and the sound they forged.
Yes, Back in the Sixties, Many groups had a distinct sound that was all their own, instantly recognizable and thrilling. The Zombies had that very cool, jazz/rock vibe to their sound and lyrics that worked so well together. One gets such a powerful sense of this seductive but mysterious , incomprehensible Woman... Well, Let me tell you 'bout the way she looked, the way she act, the color of her hair, Her voice was soft and cool, her eyes were clear and bright... But She's Not There... WOW... Amazing!!!
The background vocals and breathing sounds were exceptionally good! The sound was perfect. Unfortunately, the group had some growing pains which was typical of young people and they had to take time off from each other for awhile. Such is life.
Music knows no color! Dance on. A motown girl myself, sometimes I like country. When did that happen? I love most genres. WTF! HA- keep movin' and groovin'!😂❤
As someone who grew up in the age of mass-produced, over-produced 'hits' (2010s), I often come back to songs like this as a palette cleanser and a reminder of what a good voice and real music sounds like.
Listening to this fab Zombies track makes me so happy to have been part of the 60s era ,,,,What utter talent these english guys were ,,,im 76 and still love them lol xx
Ii agree with you, oughten oughten. I turn 75 next week and am so grateful I grew up in this musical era. I saw Colin in New Hampshire at the Pavilion in Gilford. He was part of Hippie Fest. When he came out on stage, he got a standing ovation before he even opened his mouth. It was electrifying! He looked bewildered and surprised to get such a response. It’s one of my favorite memories. Eric Burdon was part of this show too. What a great evening!
I’m an old git now born 1944 ,I’ve grown up listening to Great music 1950s 60s 70s the best of British bands,And to be fair a few Yanks too.Privileged,
Genius cares not the era it came from. "She's Not There" is as powerful in 2024 as it was in 1964. Vinyl Junkies in their 20s and younger are discovering the pure Classic Rock my generation grew up on when we were "kids". God BLESS you! You can't do much better than The Zombies. Dig it, young people. You''re our musical soul mates - regardless of your age. We love you all!
The keyboard in the recording is actually a Hohner electric piano. One of the coolest sounding electric pianos ever. Difficult to play because it had no sustain pedal. The keyboard in the video is a Vox Continental organ.
@@anthonypfranco Rod Argent is the best. When this came out around 65 I was in high school. My friend Ron was a 10th grader. I remember him telling me that he had to replay the LP keyboard solo about 20 times to nail it. Alan Price was another great player in that era.
I can only imagine how many times you think about returning home. My Dad came home in a body cast with a metal bar between his legs. He was the only person to return from Vietnam in 1966. He was in a hospital bed in our living room for 16 mths. He retired in 1968 & that's his greatest accomplishment making it the last two years to make the 20 yrs of army service. Just felt like sharing which isn't often. Hope you're having a great day!
@@barbaravaughn2392 sorry to hear of your dad’s suffering and your so lucky that he was able to come home Barbara there were a lot of men and women that didn’t come home. You know what I mean. Love the man and Love the music ✌️😎🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
Might I suggest that's because most of the so-called music today has all been influenced by what the originals did all those years ago & really just rehashes & reshapes what has already been done. Just a theory
Colin Blunstone. Yes, fabulous. He also sang with the Alan Parsons Project on Old and Wise and The Eagle Will Rise Again. You never forget a song he has sung.
everything in this song sounds so great together (even if it sounds a tad off once in awhile) ------- just makes you appreciate it more for it's total originality and total effort ------------------- how sweet it is!
Yes, because everyone who dressed well and presented themselves well died in the 80's and Western music is now being actively destroyed by the millenials and Gen Z.
@@jaimeguerrero7320 Not me. Additionally I still like cowboy movies, especially The Magnificent Seven, 1960, The Cowboys, True Grit, Ol Yeller, Hang em High, few others.
Thank fuck for that. I don't need musicians to be good looking and to behave, i need them to sound great and be an amazing experience live. For example take Brett Hoffman (i know, different genre but valid as an example), topless except an open vest, jeans, long sweaty hair (well not sweaty at the start of the concert) but the stage presence and the energy that you could feel was just over the top. Sadly he won't come back as well, fuck cancer.
I was a 60s era girl we had a complete Beno with the music it was so diverse , we had a great choice xx these guys have always been so special to me xx lol Jane x💛💛
This must be the 70 yo section me too. I still think the 60's was the best music ever. 70's had a lot too. I found my favorite songs by most groups was not always their biggest songs. I was very partial to ballads.
When I was a kid, my mom used to blast this song downstairs with her boyfriend. It's really an amazing song with a phenomenal melody. The lead vocalist has one of the best voices I've ever heard, and perfect reverb selection.
I first heard this song on a cool rainy afternoon, as we played cards and board games @ my now late-parents' cabin up in Baldwin Michigan nearly 40 years ago.
It has to be the most poignant and atmospheric songs of it's era. Timeless, haunting and you never tire of hearing it. An outstanding and profoundly creative aural masterpiece.
Well, no one told me about her The way she lied Well, no one told me about her How many people cried But it's too late to say you're sorry How would I know, why should I care? Please don't bother trying to find her She's not there Well, let me tell you 'bout the way she looked The way she acts and the color of her hair Her voice was soft and cool, her eyes were clear and bright But she's not there Well, no one told me about her What could I do? Well, no one told me about her Though they all knew But it's too late to say you're sorry How would I know, why should I care? Please don't bother trying to find her She's not there Well, let me tell you about the way she looked The way she acts and the color of her hair Her voice was soft and cool, her eyes were clear and bright But she's not there But it's too late to say you're sorry How would I know, why should I care? Please don't bother trying to find her She's not there Well, let me tell you about the way she looked The way she acts and the color of her hair Her voice was soft and cool, her eyes were clear and bright But she's not there ua-cam.com/video/_2hXBf1DakE/v-deo.html
Hello,Kathie Gifford,just wanted to say thank you for posting the words to this unique and usual song,been wondering about some of the words for years now,just wanted to let you know how much I at least am glad you posted the words!!!!!Goodbye from a guy in South Louisiana!!!!
Wow! This still sends chills up and down my spine! It's pure electricity. And in that era, there was electricity like that, practically every week, for an entire decade! It's still mind-blowing, even now. OMG!
@PPIPER 396 i love your comment i feel the same way as you x i was a 60s girl , when i play this fab song im transformed back to the 6os era , i had a complete Beno , i still adore this song ,,,, the voices and band members Jane xx
The kinks. Now there was a band that was different. In the best way I mean. You know a young guy can’t buy everything but I definitely bought the kinks albums. They had 45s back then. 99 cents. lol. True
This song has a unique quality that I can't quite put my finger on - it's like the feeling when a chalkboard screeches, but instead of being unbearable, it's electrifying. It's like the music is vibrating through every part of my body and I can't help but move to the beat. It is more than just a song, it's an experience that I can't get enough of
if you listen carefully, every single instrument is doing something unusual: the drums, the guitar, the bass, and the dominant electric piano. it all comes together for an amazing song. not a simple song at all to play. very sophisticated for 1964.
i was born in 62.............this song to me is classic 60's................so cool. today's music doesn't come close to the quality of the music and lyrics...................there might be an occasional song that might compete, but overall nothing comes close to the 60's music and sound. i want to go back to this when things were more simple and people spoke plainly without inuendo of any kind.
Susan I hear you. I so want to go back in time to my childhood when music was awesome, streets were safe, people were happy and friendly. I still cry every time i watch an episode of THE WONDER YEARS.
A classic among so many classics from 1964. As much as I love the sixties and the wonderful raft of songs that came out in the decade of all decades, this incredible song is up there with the best. Not quite standing alone but certainly a worthy number one, but it only made number 12. How bizarre is that! The song has a heart and a soul. Definitely one to add to anyone’s 1960s list!
72 yes old and I still love it . Covers by anyone else don't cut it. At a time when just about every record was going. " chic boom." This was groundbreaking
@@jeffslade1892 unfortunately, miming was common practice back then unless you were on the Ed Sullivan Show. But a good camera shot of Rod doing his thing would have been nice.
Saw them at the Ridgefield playhouse in Connecticut and they blew my mind they were so great I couldn't believe it the vocals was amazing the instrumentation was awesome God bless this band ♥️♥️♥️
It's funny, but you've known and loved the song since it came out, and though you know every word and note, one middle of the night watching of a UA-cam video and suddenly it hits you - Dang, this song is sooooo good! The Zombies, like so many of the groups back then, came up with some really, really good stuff, and because there was so much good music, we tend to not realize how fortunate we are to have it.
I was early grammar school when this came out, and when I'd her it from someone's backyard on the way home school, I would slip right into the groove, and walk like I was walking over waves. I'm sittin' here doing the same thing.
fredgomo i love your comment i was 21 years old when this very fine classic came out , im now78 years old i still adore this band and song WOW LOL jANE X
It's interesting looking back & listening to songs back in the day. The groups back then were coming out of the woodwork, but with so many great songs. They were the Renaissance day's of music, when people were full of life, living every minute of it, with great music at their every beckoning! The best vocalists lived back then. The musical inspiration back then had a lot to do with the type of life that was going on at that time. We all had bands back in the day., because everyone wanted to be part of the music. Whether you made it big or not, you were being part of the music scene & having a great time. P.S notice how the bands were in sink with there musical writing skills staying within the range of sounds of the day, but yet uniquely adding there own touch to there songs that set them apart. What a range of moods you were put into. Great times!
I think in part we produced great music because our education was so good, unfortunately not the case today. Learning music at school was a huge part of the education system then.
Comrade dulls - As this year Rap/R&B sales have finally overtaken rock music - The Party™ has issued initiatives to completely break down society and degrade culture so the state can take total control. This will require everyone to hand in any 70s rock albums by white artists. Despite most rock being correct & ideologically beneficial compositions, the band members themselves must be photoshopped less white - before being erased from the Collective Consciousness - particularly Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull and Yes. Citizens will then have their albums replaced with Rihanna, Bruno Mars and Linda Ronstadt - as well a whole host of Jay-Z-Approved performers, keyed in to reduce musical literacy, normalize salacious material, and generally demoralize the population. Also a diverse Islamic Jihadist music and Mexican folk music may be included. MTV & The Grammys will no longer tolerate bands acting "white" by singing in English correctly, having above average tunes, playing their own instruments or using intelligent lyrics. Bourgeois values and the memory of them must be erased from the Collective Consciousness with the help of historical revisionism in the academia, news media, and the Party's branches in the entertainment sector. The proletariat will then undergo re-education and be released from ungood thoughts, by instilling a culture of materialism, physical beauty, sex and financial success without effort or practical ability.
Comrade Dulls - the proletariat need not worry about the higher pursuits of the mind. It's been taken care of for them by us - the Global Elites ! I urge you to turn yourself over to the Party™ for re-education and be released from ungood thoughts. All Thought is Crime.
Great song and clip. The Keyboard player (Rod Argent) and the Bassist (Chris White) went on to form "Argent" in the late 60s...who had the Worldwide hit "Hold youre head up..Woman" in 1972. Trivia for the music enthusiast.
The Zombies were truly one of a kind, when it came to harmony, music and style. Immediately recognizable with the first couple of notes. "It's The Time of The Season", has been a pleasant ear worm, off and on, for me, for over 50 years. It's going to be one, again, for the next few days, after I listen to it tonight.
I guess a friend had The Time of the Season stick in their head and my dad played it for her. She was playing her own music so she didn’t realize. Such a shame.
When this song premiered in 1965 I was 11, and this was one of my favorite songs back then. I thought that it was fantastic. I still do, 55 years later. . . .
Man I’m a 62 yr old black guy livin in Baltimore’s hood, but I can listen to these songs before I ever listen to rap music. These 60s pop groups made some beautiful music. Just a beautiful atmosphere around all these 60s songs.

"Time of the Season" and "She's Not There" by the Zombies are two of the greatest rock songs ever recorded. Both have a sexy, moody and mysterious vibe to them that is quite unique.
true...many feel the same way!
"Summertime" from it begins here LP also has a similar feel to time of the season.
Which was actually a Gershwin cover.
Agreed ... still mysterious!
"Whenever You're Ready" is there most underrated track IMO

When he came out on stage, he got a standing ovation before he even opened his mouth. It was electrifying! He looked bewildered and surprised to get such a response. It’s one of my favorite memories. Eric Burdon was part of this show too. What a great evening!
@@pearlschoice1988 What fantastic memories you have ,, never to be forgotten its rather lovely lol x
I remember this...living as a teenager in Germany...1968 -1970....damn good
I’m an old git now born 1944 ,I’ve grown up listening to Great music 1950s 60s 70s the best of British bands,And to be fair a few Yanks too.Privileged,
I attended a Zombies concert not too long ago and I'm surprised they're still performing. One of the best concerts, ever. The audience just roared!
cool. where was it.
And they have a new album out in 2023, nearly 60 years later!
COULD you hear
the Music '?' humm ?
time - & - Date'd' .
Wow, how cool...sentimentality.
I remember this song when I was a kid in the 60's. This one always stood out.
I'm 22. But my favorite decade of music is the 60s.
same here :) my dad died in 2020 he was almost 50 when he got me, so he was from 1948, and i grew up with 1960's music.
Same here :) i'm 15 y.o but my favorite decades of music is 50's and 60's
@@erikmedina4848 try the searchers sweet for my sweet, is not out on our. Channel yet but damn that song is stuck in my head....
Welcome, brother!
@omegajrz1269 paramedic. Music knows no language nor generational barrier. 🎶 ❤️
I'm 78 years old. Love this music 🎶
Rock on !
Me too! I'm 77 in a week, and I'm still glad to hear this song.
Dave clark 5. Is one in the era
Genius cares not the era it came from. "She's Not There" is as powerful in 2024 as it was in 1964. Vinyl Junkies in their 20s and younger are discovering the pure Classic Rock my generation grew up on when we were "kids". God BLESS you! You can't do much better than The Zombies. Dig it, young people. You''re our musical soul mates - regardless of your age. We love you all!

60s and 70s music is Britain’s greatest contribution to the planet.Unbeateble.
The voice of Colin Blunstone is like no other. he's perfect!! I'll never get tired listening to him and the bass line and the hammond....
Colin Blunstone has several excellent solo albums. He also was a member of the Alan Parsons Project.
The keyboard in the recording is actually a Hohner electric piano. One of the coolest sounding electric pianos ever. Difficult to play because it had no sustain pedal. The keyboard in the video is a Vox Continental organ.
Not a Hammond a Hohner Pianet.
@@plumicon And it was played by Rod Argent,later of Spooky Tooth and Argent ("Hold Your Head Up")
@@anthonypfranco Rod Argent is the best. When this came out around 65 I was in high school. My friend Ron was a 10th grader. I remember him telling me that he had to replay the LP keyboard solo about 20 times to nail it. Alan Price was another great player in that era.
The Zombies! Fantastic! One of the greatest bands and vocalists of the 60s. Legendary!
Hello Renee, How are you doing?
As a teen of the 60's who's heard it all, this group was the #1 underrated groups of the era. Such a unique semi-soft mesmerizing style.
Boris Dujovic ...Their music was hauntingly beautiful...
they are on tour
not to mention that their music was stolen by virtually every late 60s and early 70s British & USA bands... The Who, Zeppelin, all of them...
@@DrRSciguyBM 👍
Bok Yoy I really envy you I would love to live the age I am now in that great era
I can only imagine how many times you think about returning home. My Dad came home in a body cast with a metal bar between his legs. He was the only person to return from Vietnam in 1966. He was in a hospital bed in our living room for 16 mths. He retired in 1968 & that's his greatest accomplishment making it the last two years to make the 20 yrs of army service. Just felt like sharing which isn't often. Hope you're having a great day!
@@barbaravaughn2392 sorry to hear of your dad’s suffering and your so lucky that he was able to come home Barbara there were a lot of men and women that didn’t come home. You know what I mean. Love the man and Love the music ✌️😎🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you for sharing I arrived in vietnam 1968.gd bless your dad,I had great admiration for the time in-service soldiers.
Colin Blunstone's voice is incomparable. Wonderful. Rod Argent is such a huge influence on music. What a band!
I agree!
@@ppiper396 Ditto
They have a new album called “Different Game”.
Me and Ted Bundy would vibe this
This would make a great audition song for a vocalist.
When music was art. Life was beautiful. Now it’s noise and life is dark. This song is beautiful.
Try.. I love it when you call me seniorita..Shawn mendez...old school sound!
Great music...no rap or dirty songs putting women down
Colin Blunstone to me was one of the most underrated singers in the history of rock, along with Paul Carrack
he's 75 go see him perform before he dies.
His voice is still good and he's still performing
And Jeff Beck...
Gary Pucket belongs on the list to. His voice was exceptional. Young Girls, Woman Woman and Lady Willpower. Fantastic.
@@rockinblue978 Saw him a couple of years ago and that voice was still sweet.
A lot of songs get called timeless but this truly is.
This song is way ahead of its time. I can imagine it as a present day song
Might I suggest that's because most of the so-called music today has all been influenced by what the originals did all those years ago & really just rehashes & reshapes what has already been done. Just a theory
@@stevec6934 gucci gang gucci gang gucci gang gucci gang gucci gang gucci gang
Modern music is complete and utter shit
TIMELESSNESS Great Songs Defy being pigeonholed into a Time Period.
@@davidezekiel1163 only what the corps want you to hear. lots of great stuff online. you just have to seek it out.
I never paid attention before. But, this guy has a beautiful voice.
michael g Very unique sound as well.
Colin Blunstone. Yes, fabulous. He also sang with the Alan Parsons Project on Old and Wise and The Eagle Will Rise Again. You never forget a song he has sung.
everything in this song sounds so great together (even if it sounds a tad off once in awhile) ------- just makes you appreciate it more for it's total originality and total effort ------------------- how sweet it is!
Thanks for the info, I'll check it out!
He definitely does. Still.
Dressed, polished, presented. A bygone era. Enjoy, it ain't coming back.
Yes, because everyone who dressed well and presented themselves well died in the 80's and Western music is now being actively destroyed by the millenials and Gen Z.
@@jaimeguerrero7320 Not me. Additionally I still like cowboy movies, especially The Magnificent Seven, 1960, The Cowboys, True Grit, Ol Yeller, Hang em High, few others.
Exactly. Nothing like it.
Thank fuck for that. I don't need musicians to be good looking and to behave, i need them to sound great and be an amazing experience live.
For example take Brett Hoffman (i know, different genre but valid as an example), topless except an open vest, jeans, long sweaty hair (well not sweaty at the start of the concert) but the stage presence and the energy that you could feel was just over the top.
Sadly he won't come back as well, fuck cancer.
Pity.
Absolutely golden. Havent felt such goosebumps for years.
Gor , i feel the same way as you , these guys still set my heart on fire ,,i will love them until eternity xx lol Jane x
she's behind you guys
+Di Ci you mean they are behind them
lol
Di Ci top kek
Di Ci ha,ha, yeah..she's right there !
I think they mean she's not there's mentally.
The music of the 60’s was magical. I could never choose a favorite.
I was a 60s era girl we had a complete Beno with the music it was so diverse , we had a great choice xx these guys have always been so special to me xx lol Jane x💛💛
What a gem this is. I didn’t fully appreciate it when I heard it growing up on the radio.
Great moves,amazing song great performance and the memories,this song is as beautiful as you
How are you doing today?
I’m 70 years old and I still can’t grow out of it it’s all good music
the best was the past. today's music is so lame and boring.
Me too. Turned seventy in March. This tune still gives me goosebumps.
Im with you , im 71 and lovin this everyday. Rock on.
Because the words have meaning and you can understand what they say. Unlike now society still had a tiny bit of common sense.
This must be the 70 yo section me too. I still think the 60's was the best music ever. 70's had a lot too. I found my favorite songs by most groups was not always their biggest songs. I was very partial to ballads.
I was 14 and obsessed with the Zombies sound still am and 70 now, no one sounded like them Colins voice omg
When I was a kid, my mom used to blast this song downstairs with her boyfriend. It's really an amazing song with a phenomenal melody. The lead vocalist has one of the best voices I've ever heard, and perfect reverb selection.
What happened to your father?
@@JackSparrow_sexyman Probably a no good bum
Could listen to this song a billion times
I'd walk a million miles!
This was music that will live forever.
The bass, the hammond, vocals and the drums.....all perfect. Love this track...
The Zombies were way cool, way ahead of their time.
lightyears
So cool !!
Great bassline by Chris White and Rod Argent's electric keyboard is just sublime.
Did they ever dress in zombie costumes on stage?
They were of their time, no time cooler than the 60s
What great music the Zombies played. I'm glad youtube still plays these great classic songs. I'm 70 years old and still love this music.
I first heard this song on a cool rainy afternoon, as we played cards and board games @ my now late-parents' cabin up in Baldwin Michigan nearly 40 years ago.
It has to be the most poignant and atmospheric songs of it's era.
Timeless, haunting and you never tire of hearing it. An outstanding and
profoundly creative aural masterpiece.
Groovy baby!
Well, no one told me about her
The way she lied
Well, no one told me about her
How many people cried
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know, why should I care?

She's not there
Well, let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she acts and the color of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool, her eyes were clear and bright

Great moves,amazing song great performance and the memories,this song is as beautiful as you
How are you doing today?
Thanks babe!
Wow! This still sends chills up and down my spine! It's pure electricity. And in that era, there was electricity like that, practically every week, for an entire decade! It's still mind-blowing, even now. OMG!
both their voices are so so good i love this song sm!!!😭😭❤️❤️❤️
Colin is such an underrated artist. I love his voice!
The sublime voice of Colin Blunstone. This man has the voice of a god.
Hi Annie💐💐
That's my song right there! That BASS!
The bass hits different
Yes!!
bro that bass slaps
Bass is great and I dig the wide-frame glasses!
@taddeo ruggerio Yep!
A class act. Perfect harmony, and the melody is smooth. Beautiful
i love your comment , these guys were some thing else every thing about them was first class ,,i will love them un eternity xx lol Jane x
Hope you recover soon Rod. Love all your stuff.
One of my favorite songs EVER. Great musicians; great performance.
@PPIPER 396 i love your comment i feel the same way as you x i was a 60s girl , when i play this fab song im transformed back to the 6os era , i had a complete Beno , i still adore this song ,,,, the voices and band members Jane xx
It is 2021 and their music is still
timeless.👍
Hello Jean, How are you doing?
The kinks. Now there was a band that was different. In the best way I mean. You know a young guy can’t buy everything but I definitely bought the kinks albums. They had 45s back then. 99 cents. lol. True
Love that outdoor concert sound. What a voice and of course Grace was extremely hot!
This song has a unique quality that I can't quite put my finger on - it's like the feeling when a chalkboard screeches, but instead of being unbearable, it's electrifying. It's like the music is vibrating through every part of my body and I can't help but move to the beat. It is more than just a song, it's an experience that I can't get enough of
if you like this you might like my brothers music. his name is Stu Morris and in Love is a good song by him
if you listen carefully, every single instrument is doing something unusual: the drums, the guitar, the bass, and the dominant electric piano. it all comes together for an amazing song. not a simple song at all to play. very sophisticated for 1964.
@@pkoven Kinda sounds like The Doors before The Doors. That keyboard solo sounds a lot like the riff in Light my Fire.
What a non music loving absolute douchebag. Go be funny somewhere else.
@@knoahbody69 not really. You could take any number of songs and they would have something in common with any instrument’s sound.
i was born in 62.............this song to me is classic 60's................so cool. today's music doesn't come close to the quality of the music and lyrics...................there might be an occasional song that might compete, but overall nothing comes close to the 60's music and sound. i want to go back to this when things were more simple and people spoke plainly without inuendo of any kind.
Susan I hear you. I so want to go back in time to my childhood when music was awesome, streets were safe, people were happy and friendly. I still cry every time i watch an episode of THE WONDER YEARS.
A classic among so many classics from 1964. As much as I love the sixties and the wonderful raft of songs that came out in the decade of all decades, this incredible song is up there with the best. Not quite standing alone but certainly a worthy number one, but it only made number 12. How bizarre is that! The song has a heart and a soul. Definitely one to add to anyone’s 1960s list!
Amazing. Great song and the video is like a time capsule of the time.
72 yes old and I still love it . Covers by anyone else don't cut it. At a time when just about every record was going. " chic boom." This was groundbreaking
Love vanilla fudges version
Jesus Christ, the music of the sixties was INCREDIBLE!!!! 🤯🤯🤯🎶🥰🥰🥰
From someone who was there -- yes, it was!
One of the greatest keyboard solos back then and the camera decided to focus on the drummer.
Infuriating, it's such a great solo!!
@@rosemariekuruc1481 yes, quite unique for its time for sure!
I’m also a drummer, buddy! 😂
They are miming and yes that is Rod Argent on keys, he wrote it.
@@jeffslade1892 unfortunately, miming was common practice back then unless you were on the Ed Sullivan Show. But a good camera shot of Rod doing his thing would have been nice.
Saw them at the Ridgefield playhouse in Connecticut and they blew my mind they were so great I couldn't believe it the vocals was amazing the instrumentation was awesome God bless this band ♥️♥️♥️
This big group would deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of fame and they got it finally. Congratulations!!!
The Kinks, the Yardbirds, and the Zombies. Three great, unforgettable bands.
It's funny, but you've known and loved the song since it came out, and though you know every word and note, one middle of the night watching of a UA-cam video and suddenly it hits you - Dang, this song is sooooo good! The Zombies, like so many of the groups back then, came up with some really, really good stuff, and because there was so much good music, we tend to not realize how fortunate we are to have it.
I was early grammar school when this came out, and when I'd her it from someone's backyard on the way home school, I would slip right into the groove, and walk like I was walking over waves. I'm sittin' here doing the same thing.
A very underrated band
Edit: ok calm down, so what if my comment is overrated? No ones telling you to read it
not back in the day
op. a very overrated comment lol
AAAhhh...no.
always the same comment, please is so stupid
Spine tingling good! Never really listened to The Zombies. I've been missing out!
There is more.
So many memories stirred by this song. It is one of the signposts of its time.
fredgomo i love your comment i was 21 years old when this very fine classic came out , im now78 years old i still adore this band and song WOW LOL jANE X
hey now! I'm 75 and I know exactly where you're coming from. Greatness in music (or people) never ages!@@oughtonoughton2634
Yes the best. I am 80 and love old stuff.
It's interesting looking back & listening to songs back in the day. The groups back then were coming out of the woodwork, but with so many great songs. They were the Renaissance day's of music, when people were full of life, living every minute of it, with great music at their every beckoning! The best vocalists lived back then. The musical inspiration back then had a lot to do with the type of life that was going on at that time. We all had bands back in the day., because everyone wanted to be part of the music. Whether you made it big or not, you were being part of the music scene & having a great time. P.S notice how the bands were in sink with there musical writing skills staying within the range of sounds of the day, but yet uniquely adding there own touch to there songs that set them apart. What a range of moods you were put into. Great times!
Long Live The Zombies, these Brits are so good in music, unbelievable !
I think in part we produced great music because our education was so good, unfortunately not the case today. Learning music at school was a huge part of the education system then.
Comrade dulls - As this year Rap/R&B sales have finally overtaken rock music - The Party™ has issued initiatives to completely break down society and degrade culture so the state can take total control. This will require everyone to hand in any 70s rock albums by white artists.
Despite most rock being correct & ideologically beneficial compositions, the band members themselves must be photoshopped less white - before being erased from the Collective Consciousness - particularly Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull and Yes.
Citizens will then have their albums replaced with Rihanna, Bruno Mars and Linda Ronstadt - as well a whole host of Jay-Z-Approved performers, keyed in to reduce musical literacy, normalize salacious material, and generally demoralize the population. Also a diverse Islamic Jihadist music and Mexican folk music may be included.
MTV & The Grammys will no longer tolerate bands acting "white" by singing in English correctly, having above average tunes, playing their own instruments or using intelligent lyrics. Bourgeois values and the memory of them must be erased from the Collective Consciousness with the help of historical revisionism in the academia, news media, and the Party's branches in the entertainment sector.
The proletariat will then undergo re-education and be released from ungood thoughts, by instilling a culture of materialism, physical beauty, sex and financial success without effort or practical ability.
A long reply and much to ponder.
Comrade Dulls - the proletariat need not worry about the higher pursuits of the mind. It's been taken care of for them by us - the Global Elites !
I urge you to turn yourself over to the Party™ for re-education and be released from ungood thoughts. All Thought is Crime.
have you ever read the book 1985?
Great song and clip. The Keyboard player (Rod Argent) and the Bassist (Chris White) went on to form "Argent" in the late 60s...who had the Worldwide hit "Hold youre head up..Woman" in 1972. Trivia for the music enthusiast.
And my favourite, "God Gave Rock and Roll to You". Which was later covered by KISS.
The Zombies were truly one of a kind, when it came to harmony, music and style. Immediately recognizable with the first couple of notes. "It's The Time of The Season", has been a pleasant ear worm, off and on, for me, for over 50 years. It's going to be one, again, for the next few days, after I listen to it tonight.
One of my favorites from the 60s
I guess a friend had The Time of the Season stick in their head and my dad played it for her. She was playing her own music so she didn’t realize. Such a shame.
The best of early R'n'R; the Zombies were the best of the pop in that era. I don't know, why I care!
Love this song along with "Tell her no," and "Time of the Season."
Reinaldo The Zombies made plenty of classics all of which will be forever played until eternity lol x
When this song premiered in 1965 I was 11, and this was one of my favorite songs back then. I thought that it was fantastic. I still do, 55 years later. . . .
So young! They’re still rocking, still hitting the high notes. The Zombies are transportative! Yes, I made up a word.
Very tasteful video with the backdrop of the beautiful women.
