Capturing moments of life in a jar
Playing with children, acting as stars
Guiding your visions to heaven and heaven is in your mind
Take extra care not to lose what up feel
The apple you're eating is simple and real
Water the flowers that grow at you heel
guiding your visions to heaven and heaven is in your mind
what a line up in 1967
The lyrics say:
"Take extra care not to lose what up feel"
But I am fairly certain I heard "Take extra care not to lose what you feel"
There's another mistake-can you find it?
Well yes - yes we did
Indeedidooddoo
Ok, I know I’m going to get some sh@t about this, but I think the Three Dog Night version is better …
Everybody has different tastes and a right to an opinion. ...And, you were polite about it!
This is what happens when you let the entire, very stoned, band into the mixing control room and don't reprimand them for touching the sliders.
My very first time in a recording studio the drummer said "I want everything louder than everything else". A maxim to mix by.
LOL!!!

Had absolutely no idea that TDN covered this or relied on songwriters...

Clearly am showing my age, still a favourite after all this decades. :-D
Well yes - yes we did

No algorithms here. Just humans.
Everybody in my mushrooming multitude of churches be dancing buck ass naked all over the world... love this song... love sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll...
The key to this statement is the shrooms. If you get my drift.......

Did you forget to bring the linseed oil again?

And nice piano filling out the melody contrapuntally--rare in early rock.
miss you so much, Cynaera...
love this song...
If I see this comment one more time....complete barf-o-rama......
miss you so much, Cynaera...
love this song...
And yet... so dang good.
Kinda like forgiving a friend.
Perceiving yourself as wise beyond your years was part of the trip.
as the Dead sounds Sooo Good, Sooo Loud... and next week Pink Floyd is in town......whadda life !
They still do; you're just hanging out with a different crowd.
And yet... so dang good.
Kids today. They are why we can't have nice things.
i thought we were still listening to paranoid and they just went into a burst of 60's rock to end their song
good one
I second this. good vocals
I'm with you there
Well, he had a moment as a pop singer but for the last ten years has been back on track.
Check out 'About time'
In concert he still finishes with a killer version of Mr Fantasy
Blame the New World Order.
I'm with you there
Well, we are allowed to change our minds........
College Memories....I love this song!
OK, for the rest of you old geezers out there, or for those who lived in the L.A., CA area: does anyone else remember a radio show on Sunday mornings, about things spiritual, that used this as its theme? I used to enjoy tuning that show in when I wasn't still unconscious from the affects of what I did Saturday night...
Traffic released 2 versions, one without Dave Mason. 3 Dog Night also did a cover of it.
Who?!

Uh this is side 1 track 1 of Traffic's Mr. Fantasy... if you've never heard it you need to maybe listen to a good rock record one time... I'm just saying.... =)
Since we only get one childhood per lifetime, I'm so glad that this music was part of mine.
Absolutely, Kurtster!

Seconded. It never really takes off.
This song is soooo good for the ears...
Insightful!
5:58 am | Traffic Heaven Is In Your Mind | Mr. Fantasy (1967) | 7.1 |
5:55 am | Los Lobos Angel Dance | The Neighborhood (1990 |
Did I hear it correctly and does Steve Winwood sing with Los Lobos?
no
The guitar at the end, as well as the cymbal work during the chorus "...and heaven is in your mind" - also the random yells, and noises during the guitar were differend - at first i thought this was a remastered cd and that I had never heard the enitre track before.
Yep, very cool. I yam diggin' it!
I'm catching that, too. Is it the difference between the British and American versions of the album? They are variously obviously and subtly different. Might the guitar solo be one of the unsubtle differences? Anyone?

I believe that was Argent. Now, who did "Green Eyed Lady?"
I kept thinking Meatloaf, knowing that wasn't right, alas, it was a loaf of a different persuasion- Sugarloaf - funky classic with a great bass line
Sugarloaf—one of the '70s' great one-hit wonders.

I was a few years younger than that when Three Dog Night released this tune. Guilty pleasures indeed, loved their stuff. Don't tell anyone! They introduced me to some great music that I ended up re-discovering in the original performances. This Traffic tune is a good example, Laura Nyro was certainly another. Light, frothy, and fun pop they were but they did choose tunes to cover well.
And Paper Sun, and Dealer, and Dear Mr. Fantasy.... all on the same LP! But the guitar solo at the end of this version is a tad different from what originally appeared on this album.
Ahhhh, another classic, though slightly later? Was it Manfred Mann?
