Original lyrics by P.F. Sloan and Steve Barri (1964), made popular by Barry McGuire (1965). Yet another year of fear and uncertainty.

I love your voice and your words and your emotion. I've listened to Barry sing his words 100s of times. It was my anthem back in the 60s. I lived in LA and wondered if I would have enough time to tell my mom I loved her before the atomic bomb annihilated everything. I didn't believe in Viet Nam, but the army got me anyway. Now, with climate change we're doing it all over again. I even wrote my own song "Eve of climate change is the new eve of destruction." I wish I had your voice and emotion. My song is yours if you ever want it. No strings attached. Thank you for yours. I love it.

Beautiful, Erin, your voice and edits are perfect. Historically we were on the eve of destruction then too unfortunately but the fact that the governments haven't learned a g-damn thing and garbage racists are back with a vengeance makes this all the more tragic.

"You truly captured the soul of Barry McGuire. Your lyrics and musical style capture the moment". And how exactly what you even know that? My bet is that you weren't even around in the 1960's. You think the "insurrection" can somehow compare the what was happening in Vietnam or back here in the US during that time period? You are clueless. .

well, I gotta say that was brilliant, Erin. that was an anthem of sorts back in the day, and you've masterfully updated it without destroying the song and what it means. Only thing I'd ask is you post the lyrics as you'v[e written them. the CC for us who don't hear so well didn't always catch up. But this was beautiful, as moving as the original. Thanks you so much. And no, those aren't tears, I might have allergies......

A great song well done. The rewritten cover is good too. This new version is even more self-referentially ironic, bewailing societal divisiveness while contributing to divisive fear mongering. Some of need to toughen up. Some of us need to loosen up.

I was five years old and in kindergarten during the 1962 Cuban Missle Crisis - the world was seconds from destruction. My mother and older sister (Dad had skipped out long before) tried to shelter me from what was happening but it wasn't possible as the Crisis was all around us, everywhere. Even in school. Finally I was allowed to watch Kennedy on TV give his "full retaliatory response" speech. I got up my childhood courage and asked my mom, "is there going to be a war, and are we going to die?" She couldn't keep it from me any longer and had to tell me the truth: "yes honey, there might be a war soon and if so, we will die. But we'll be together in Heaven and I will always love you." Thus I was consoled. God how I miss my mother right now....
@tom1949213 Жыл бұрын
I was in 7th grade. On the day after Kennedy spoke, I was in math class and the teacher spoke to the class. She told us what good students we were and how she happy and proud to be our teacher. As she spoke these words, she had tears in her eyes. It was only years later when reflecting on this did I finally realized she was saying goodbye. I pray that young adults will never know times like those. God Bless

Someone from the young generation needs to write one on this song but solely on climate change which could destroy us all. The original song came out when I was a child and I remember vividly the bomb fear that was pervasive. As an old man I don't see the youngstersangry enough to alleviate climate change You guys should be fearful of it as #1 problem. It will get worse.
