The Rascals - See video free download

Got tired of searching for this, so this one's homegrown. The Rascals were one of the best bands of the sixties, and this is one of their best songs. Enjoy the upbeat and positive vibe of this song - it transcends generations and musical eras. Dino Danelli is one of the most underrated drummers in the history of rock and roll!

Originally released by Atlantic Records in 1969, from the album SEE. Currently available through Collector's Choice.

LYRICS:

Things ain't like they used to be

Love's the only thing I see

Wings of life are taking flight

From the darkness to the light

I used to try and fly away

Upon the flood of dreams

Tasting all the good and bad

From on the serpents tree

Little ones remind us of a place we used to be

Echoes of the ever land

Discover who you really am

Rivers rushing to the sea

Love is flowing endlessly

Drops of rain are never lost

Soul and spirit to its source

Saw you in a fairy tale

Or was it just a dream

White and yellow jasmine trees

Times a mere machine

Flashes of a new year light up a stellar sky

Love is really everywhere to see it is to fly

Things ain't like they used to be

If you want to you can see

Words of love on chestnut trees

Written by sweet memories

While we are riding on the avenues of time

The bird of life drinks from the cups of wine

Waits until we're ready for

The princes gift of love

Things ain't like they used to be

Love's the only thing I see

Wings of life are taking flight

From the darkness to the light

Secret mirror photographs,

Shining in your eyes

I'm married to the universe,

My brother is the sky

Stars can see to make a wish

And hearts with wings can fly

Come with me and see my love

So we can never die

Rivers rushing to the sea

Love is flowing endlessly

Drops of rain are never lost

soul and spirit to its source
