HAIR(THE FIFTH DIMENSION)

LABEL: SOUL CITY RECORDS

GENRE: POP

YEAR: 1969

"Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In" é uma junção de duas canções do musical Hair (1967), compostas por James Rado, Gerome Ragni e Galt MacDermot, e lançada em maio de 1969 como primeiro single de The Age of Aquarius, quarto álbum da banda estadunidense The Fifth Dimension.

A canção foi composta com base na crença astrológica de que o mundo, ao entrar na Era de Aquarius, irá experimentar uma época de amor, paz, democracia e humanidade, ao contrário da atual Era de Pisces. Presumia-se que esta mudança iria ocorrer no final do século XX, mas a maioria dos astrólogos divergem sobre este assunto.

When the moon is in the Seventh House

And Jupiter aligns with Mars

Then peace will guide the planets

And love will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius

The Age of Aquarius

Aquarius! Aquarius!

Harmony and understanding

Sympathy and trust abounding

No more falsehoods or derisions

Golden living dreams of visions

Mystic crystal revelation

And the mind's true liberation

Aquarius! Aquarius!

When the moon is in the Seventh House

And Jupiter aligns with Mars

Then peace will guide the planets

And love will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius

The Age of Aquarius

Aquarius! Aquarius!

Harmony and understanding

Sympathy and trust abounding

No more falsehoods or decisions

Golden living dreams of visions

Mystic crystal revelation

And the mind's true liberation

Aquarius! Aquarius!

From January to March I'll tell the world

The icy winds make me cry.

From April Fool’s Day to June I'll tell the world

My tears are rain - Oh, what I lie!

I just can't tell the world,

I can't tell them that I've lost you,

Oh, no I can't –

'Cause I can't break the news to myself.

From July to September I'll tell the world

The burning sun has me down.

From October thru December I'll tell the world

We don't date 'cause I'm snow bound.

I just can't tell the world,

I can't tell them that I've lost you,

Oh no, I can't –

'Cause I can't break the news to myself.

Crimson & Clover is a 1969 album by Tommy James and the Shondells. It features the #1 hit "Crimson and Clover" (in an extended, five-and-a-half minute long version) as well as the #2 hit "Crystal Blue Persuasion". The album itself was also a success, reaching #8 on the pop albums chart.

"Crimson and Clover" is a 1968 song by American rock band Tommy James and the Shondells. Written by the duo of Tommy James and drummer Peter Lucia Jr., it was intended as a change in direction of the group's sound and composition.

"Crimson and Clover" was released in late 1968 as a rough mix after a radio station leaked it. It spent 16 weeks on the U.S. charts, reaching number one in the United States (in February 1969) and other countries. The single has sold 5 million copies, making it Tommy James and the Shondells' best-selling song. It has been covered by many artists such as Joan Jett and Prince.

In 2006, Pitchfork Media named it the 57th best song of the 1960s.

Now, I don't hardly know her,

But, think I could love her

Crimson and clover.

I wish she'd come walking over, I'm waiting to show her,

Crimson and clover

Over and over

Yes, my, my, such a sweet thing,

I wanna do everything

What a beautiful feeling.

Crimson and clover

Over and over

(repeat)

So long, I've been looking too hard

I've been waiting too long

Sometimes I don't know what I will find

I only know it's a matter of time

When you love someone

When you love someone

It feels so right, so warm and true

I need to know if you feel it too

Maybe I'm wrong,

Won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong

This heart of mine has been hurt before,

This time I wanna be sure

I've been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life

I've been waiting for a girl like you, whom love I will survive

I've been waiting, someone new to make me feel alive

Yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life

You're so good, when we make love it's understood

It's more than a touch or a word we say

Only in dreams could it be this way

When you love someone, yeah

I really love someone

Now I know it's right

From the moment I wake up till deep in the night

There's nowhere on earth that I'd rather be

Than holding you tenderly

I've been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life

I've been waiting for a girl like you, whom love I will survive

I've been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive

Yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life

I've been waiting

Waiting for you, ooh

I've been waiting

I've been waiting

(I've been waiting for a girl like you, I've been waiting)

Won't you come into my life?
