Boy, take me If there is any time I'd love to go back, its now!! This song has lost none of its charm since '68.

Kristen, In 1967 I was at Duc Pho, Vietnam. We could buy professional-looking filter-tip joints in sealed American-brand cigarette packs. I had a transistor radio that went with me everywhere that year, and one late night, on guard duty, AFVN radio played this song. I had smoked a joint, and soaring through the universe of my mind on wings of music, when they sang "Everything is love, love, love..." incandescent flowers bloomed around me in space. Your kinetic visions remind me of what I saw in my head. Thank you so much!

Despite ALL the possible intellect of my aging life, at almost sixty-three, it was comforting to remember this timely way back in the recess of my kindergarten mind. Nothing of our current day can steal certain sounds...and The Association.

This song literally gives me goosebumps. IMO it might be the greatest "love song" ever composed

I remember the day I heard this song for the first time. My father who was single father two young children would meet my brother and I home for lunch. Baby brother and I would walk home for lunch from school which took us about seven minutes. Dad walked in one day during our lunch meet at home with a 45 record of this beautiful song. He was so excited to share the song with baby brother and me. Together, the three of us enjoyed the song while eating lunch. Such a beautiful time within a few moments sharing: time, music and lunch! Yes! “EVERYTHING IS LOVE!”

This was one of my favorites songs when I was a teenager. And it's still one of my favorites as a senior. Just a beautiful song and band.

Association is my memorable growing up music, even at 63 I am still growing up, love to relive the slow peaceful days of those days

RIP to the late great Terry Kirkman. Lead singer/songwriter of so many of their hits. This is my favorite. You will be missed by many I'm sure. Myself included.

What a great 60s song! The lyrics and melody are simple, but the vocal arrangement and perfect Wrecking Crew playing elevates this to pure listening magic. The harmonies are layered perfectly, falsetto accents are genius, and the interweaving of vocal lines is so good! Repeat play!

[donesomeage]

This song is absolutely brilliant. The vocal arrangement is genius.

Crystallizes an all-too-short era so well.

I had the luck to go see these folks while they were in San Antonio in 1968. What a group, no more music like this.

When I was in Vietnam I had their greatest hits on cassette, this was the one that really made me homesick.

[jamesrichards]

somebody will discover this song in the year of 2050 & the world will again hear the magnificent vocal band that is the association.

[louflores]

Such a great song. When I was learning music, singing and harmony, we practiced this song. Brings back fond memories when everyone wasn't so angry.

[futuregirl]

WOW, one of the most magical songs of the 60's ! ! ! The harmonies are absolutely amazing, and I LOVE the French horns! I remember drawing the same flowers in the video on my notebooks in school. THE PSYCHEDELIC 60's RULE ! ! !
