Wow! He gives a little hat-tip to the podcast Heavyweight at the end, but it really does feel like a episode of that show.

I sadly missed this revive, so reboosting!

I can't really listen to this song without crying anymore. It's one of my favorite songs of my entire life, but it reminds me to much of a world that is no longer able to exist, especially when it comes to artistry and music.

Oh please. I’ve had enough of this ‘music was better when x happened”. There’s still plenty of great music being produced today, you just won’t hear it if you only pay attention to what’s top 10 on the radio.

@Gino565 You have zero insight. It's the underlying feeling presented in this song as well as from most bands of the period. That period of music was an open book of exoteric projection of positivity and uplift whereas today's music is introverted, perverse and completely self indulgent. The majority of today's music is produced by a cabal of evil. Real musicians have been marginalised and the loss of the swing within the music through the use of computers has rendered it sterile in comparison.

I'm 29 but I feel similar. Found Caravan (and the Canterbury scene) in my early 20s when I was a college student and had so many quirky idealistic friends. It felt like anything was possible. I was best friends with a foreign exchange student girl who was so witty and charming and really got me to come out of my shell. Everything was interesting and it really felt like every day was a dream where you could be yourself and try new things and someone somewhere would understand. Anyway, that was only my experience, but I imagine that idealism and freedom (like the arrival of a nice springtime) is what life must've felt like for many young people during the early prog years.
