Thunderclap Newman - Something In The Air (1969) 

At 13 years old , I went to woodstock

14/68 for me! It’s crazy how all these classic songs are still pertinent today. Maybe that’s why they’re called classics😂

@@alejandrokaufman8549 wow, you must have had cool parents!

@@pokey5736 I was living Mexico city with my mother in 1969. She meet two guys from holland and went with them the 4 of us and got there.

@@alejandrokaufman8549 lucky you. My mother said NO !.

Me too, there aren't many songs which do that

No class today 😊

Oh man love them

❤

That’s for sure.

Smiles, hi Amanda 👋

And the best looking women.

❤ Amen!

@@michaelhughes4466 Real Women too .

I was 9 , and i still love this song .

Me too! It was a great time to be alive and have this kind of music in the background.

Amen

Unfortunately, this song will always be relevant

I totally agree

Yes! Time to take our world back!!

Totally agree!

George , you are the same age as my son and your short story brought a smile to my face. My son loved rock also and grew up with a real appreciation classic rock. We went to many concerts together and were the absolute best friends . Pancreatic cancer took my boy away from me and I miss him more that words could say. I sure hope your pop is still with us today . Take care and be safe . T

Absolutely !!

Hi Jo

Yay..you just discovered the miracle that is 60s music..always cures whatever ails you..🇨🇦

❤ holy fuck is right!!!

Perhaps, but it was Speedy Keen, not Townshend, who wrote this song.

@@67L48 It was Speedy Keen who wrote the song.

I’m the same

Especially through stereo headphones 💖

This makes the song more memorable

Smiles, hi Eva 👋

Yur a blessed man, very lucky So few have!!

GREAT DAYS, SADLY MISSED.

Same

I love this song to death.

Not to me, sorry

Same here 😊❤

Me too ❤

I was a kid in the 70's and it reminds me of that time as well. It was so fun an hopeful and colorful . great music and TV shows.

❤

Anch'io ho 74 anni , questa canzone nel 1968 è stata x un lungo periodo al primo posto della english top 10 , I still have the 45 record that i bought in a Mall in Berwick Upon Tweed , what a lovely Memories of that lovely time, the Mall was John menzies ciao dalla Toscana Piero Italy 🇮🇹❤️

The year ,when this Song was product was 1969, not 1968, 55 Years ago!!!!!💽💿📀👏👍❤️🇮🇹😁grazie , THANKS you

Nostalgia and being young and impressionable are very strong forces in shaping ones view.

We certainly have lived through the best music compared to the crap that’s listened to in the 2000s…our music will never die..

53 years.

@@themanftheworld8439 I’m glad you add better than I.

Yeah brilliant tune. Noel Gallagher pays homage to it in his song, "Roll It Over".

A big song in the year of the big lie.

Yes. 😃🤓

Love it congrats on your longevity Nigel keep on keeping on man.

Great to see Burl Ives on piano

Wow, 103, we can only wish. True longevity is 90. You've made it 13 years past! Congrats! Enjoy what you have left. We'll try to keep up! (:

Geez! I thought I'd had enough when I recently turned 80. But 103? I decided to convert my age to Celsius, so I'm 28 now...Well done mate! 103!!! Shitabrick!!! We've certainly seen some changes & not all of them good. But love listening to this music with the associated memories...

so you were around 50 when this came out? wild. i'll probably die before 60 like my dad...

Totally agree, the 60's and 70's were the greatest sounds of al time.

Yes 1955 for me❤

Us “Boomers” were so fortunate. Take me back to sane days!

So true, born 1949 so aged 14 when the world changed with the Beatles.

@@stansalt3198 Yes! That was the perfect age for enjoying all of the Beatle years! Sorta like growing up with the music. But born a little too early to enjoy bubblegum music.

Smiles, hi Linda👋

Steady on, milady.

@@Zedzian23 I will Sir! We're a strong generation!

Yep it is its all on the libs and dems this music was truely great

@@Gerardnolan191 It looks like I didn't see your comment! Smiles right back to you! 😁

Wow. That is one profound thought...so true.

That is why I have to many oppressive memories of Viet Nam, more than other moments of my life! 52 yrs.later!

@@outofmoney3556 Tennessee Williams was something else. Great short story writer as well as stellar playwright. Even his few stage failures are more interesting than other writer's successes.

When my mother was dying she said life is but a dream,how true, with love from Arthur.

So in case you want to know, this is from the movie Boom! which Tennessee wrote screenplay for, and adapted from his own play The milk train doesn't stop here anymore. It's a Taylor/Burton kind of thing, and really quite incredible. But very difficult to find because it was and still is considered an embarrassment... except to Tennessee Williams who said it was the best movie adaptation of any of his screenplays, Streetcar included. Worth looking for. That line is delivered by Liz.

@Dave Wray UK

@Dave Wray I never deal with facebook but saw T Rex live in 71.

did we really land on the moon?? or was it hollywood..

Wow, I get goosebumps thinking about that night of the moon landing. Have to say though I didn’t hear this song till somewhere around 72. Love it.

@Dave Wray Where are you from ?

He wrote 2 songs about his drug struggles “Medicine Jar” from “Venus & Mars” and “Wino Junko” from “Wings at The Speed Of Sound” You could feel those dark lyrics as he sings them😢😢

Jimmy lost his way a bit after Wings. I saw him in a patched up Small Faces line up in 1977. Sad how it ended for him so early.

Fantastic!

Then there'd not be many of them...especially DJs😂🎩

Amen to THAT

Nearly 61 years old - my feelings exactly. ☮️❤

OUR WORLD, THATS THE PEOPLES WORLD HAS BEEN HI-JACKED BY DESPOTS AND MANIACS.ID LOVE A WORLD WIDE REVOLUTION FOR ORDINARY PEOPLE TO TAKE IT BACK.

@@Hartley_Hare then ordinary people should throw out "so called "governments everywhere and rule them selves, without any hierarchy.

@@andymatthews7617 I don't know much about running a country. You?

@@mrventham8242 we couldn't do any worse than " so called governments "" world wide.

I hear what you say Was this there only hit?

@@NancyMurphy-dy8gk Yes, it was. They only made one album and the album itself wasn't particularly successful, just this single.

It did my friend..

But Sheesh, the extent to which Our young Naievete was Exploited by really bad People, was simply Staggering. Even the Lunacy of attempting to Euthenase people atvthe age of 30 was being promoted. I was 16 in 1969, had tone of the Best Summers of my life around the Mediterranean and North Africa, and As a Young Socialist, moved out of an awful Socialist Shithole, to somewhere a Fair bit Saner and started seeing through the Crap I was being Brainwashed with. It took another 10 years to finally Purge that Stupid Malevolence out of me tbh. But finally left that Socialist Virtue Signalling Mask and the Constant unending Socialist Lies all behind me at age 28, after getting brilliant advice - If You Want to Change Your Life Change Your Friends. Turned Out only one of them was a Real Friend, and at age 70, he is still my Best Friend Today, though Long Covid Almost Killed Him. Best Wishes and ❤ to all. Bob. Nostalgia isn't what it Used to Be. Heck I even remember what it was like when we still had Real Money, and at the age of nine buying sweets for a half a Farthing Coin, in 1969, A Supermarket Shopping Trolley Full of a Week's Worth of Shopping was £5 . A Gallon of 4 star Petrol was 4/11d (just under 25p) Pint of Bitter Retain in a Pub 1/6d or 7.5p A pint of Good Scrumpy 8d, about 3p , Top Pizzeria 1970 Two made Fresh on the premises Two Ham and Mushroom large Pizzas, two glasses of House Wine, and two Setprvings of Cassata ice-cream £1 which included a Healthy Tip. Starting to see the extent to which inflicting Fake Fiat Currency on us has been used to Rip US all Off in the Years since ? Hint, the weight of Gold needed to purchase a Barrel of Oil in 1911, will still buy you a Barrel of Oil Today. That is why there is the attempt to kill off all the Older People who still remember such basic comparison information. In 1969, a Brand New Honda 750 Four was List Price £499 Think it costs more to make them Today, or Less ? In 1973 a brand new Mini 1,000 cost about the same as that Honda. Think a New XJ6 cost much more than a Mini to make in 1973 ? The actual production Costs were surprisingly not that far apart. Ain't Socialism Great ? Production and Manufacturing gone, along with huge numbers of well-meaning jobs, and guess who were hand in glove with the Destruction of The British Economy, along with all the Politicians? Yep, the Unions. 😡

did Townsend write this?

​@@vincentl.9469It was ChatGPT!

@@AllTheHandlesAreTaken Chat GPT ?

This isn't live unfortunately, but great record.

Well said.

What a perfect comment thanking every one for there contribution well done but still waiting for the revellusion

@@lesterjohnston8888😊

I was 14 too!

Jimmy had a few years with paul and wings , he left wings and died a few years later. Wings over America line-up was very good.

Great info. Thank you for this. ❤🎉🫂🙏🏻✝️🙏🏾💓☺️🌺🐞🌺

Thanks.

Who's playing lead guitar.?

The Instigators brought me here!

Well said in all categories. Honky Tonk Women was always one of my favorites!!

Can't believe it I was 14 that year, and all the memories of those songs takes me back. Cheers

John Hicks 🇺🇸❤️

Polk Salad Annie.....the gator's got

Yes it’s hard to believe but I was 14 years old in 69’ also. In four more years I’ll meet my wife of my youth and never see Her again the day after we met and took vows together

I absolutely agree,l love this to.I,m 61 years old,the years have gone rapidly.Importantly though,l,m sure we have good memories of the 60 s growing up.

@@jamesnettleton68 The years have flown by but hey the memories are still there. I am 66 now and lived most of my life on the other side of the world and missed out on a lot of the great UK music. I am in the UK and enjoy all the old music I was brought up on

Me too David same age as you what good times ay mate 😁😁👍👍

“Youth is wasted on the young”... but I’m one who tried to get as much in as I could. Still do (as much as I am able) life’s short. Onward mates always onwards with our memories and an eye to the past and future

Having fun all those years 😃😃😃😃

Awesome instumental aint it ??

The thing is Ray, I agree with you - but here we are listening on this computer shit! It's a bloody conundrum mate..

I was junior high. I loved this song then, still do now. Now, that's an enduring classic.

How right you are Raymond,they were happy days not a dream but real happy times. Will never have them back.

The 60s and 70s music was the best ever. This sht nowadays makes me glad I’m older. Ha!!!! So swallow, junior 🤣

@Q E D This ^ and I’m 62! The 70’s were generally grim in the U.K. in my experience anyway.

It's become a go-to track for emotional teen angst flicks. That will NEVER take away from our emotional charge we got in 69' from this seminal ground-breaking masterpiece. I was 17 when I 1st heard this. I cried when I 1st heard it. It still brings deep emotional feelings I've never felt from any recording. It's magical. WTF?

@@Mister8224 I too was 17 and I too wept, thought I was the only one.😪

Marvelous!

Jimmy McCulloch?

@@57highland Yes - 16 years old at that time.

Would be a nice way to start the song in my opinion

That's Thunderclap Newman on keys.

I think the guitar is very George Harrison-ish.
