Ok I know I’m hella late to this because I feel like everyone already knows this song but I discovered it from a tumblr post of the lyrics and I was so moved by them that I had to listen to it. I’d always been kinda anti-The Zombies because annoying people I went to high school with really like them and after listening to the rest of this album I do feel kinda vindicated in that (soz). BUT this song is so good and I can already tell it will become an all-timer for me. I love it because it’s a love song that also can read as being about other things and it’s so hopeful and full of yearning and uncertainty. Also the piano part at the beginning reminds me a lot of “Praise You” by Fatboy Slim. It’s the perfect mix of great lyricism and just enough 60s psychedelic pop.
