This one certainly takes pop music to another level. Amazing.
Some say Jimmy Webb's lyrics to this were sad, but to me it felt like Zen liberation. Be open and receptive like a cup and the waters of life flow. The magic of 1967 is all in this groovy, enlightening, uplifting song. Near the top of my Top 400-plus at #17.
Some comments on the video:
Thanks for sharing this for not only we that were there..back in the day, but for those that were not.
Back in the day, I bought the Magic Garden album and played it until the needle practically wore a hole through it. Drove the neighbors crazy. Loved every minute of it. Where is that music today?
Musically, it was a fascinating era, one I doubt will ever happen again. I'm thankful to have seen, heard and enjoyed many of these artists and performers in their prime.
kind of like a Beatles song Great
This lyrics should get a Nobel prize
McCoo thrills in all dimensions!
You gotta have a lot of talent to sing about a paper cup...they do!
to me it sounds like somebody who's giving up on regular life and its many stresses (aka somebody who's homeless and is actually happy with his new stress free lifestyle (paper cup = beggars cup (or change cup))
