Lyrics:
Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?
Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?
We could float among the stars together, you and I
For we can fly (we can fly)
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon

My late husband was in Vietnam in 1967 when this song came out, and it meant so much to him, to think about being able to escape the war in a beautiful balloon.
this sounds like an airline commercial.
@@karlhelm875TWA in the 70s, I believe.
My dad was in Nam in '67
❤🙏💫🎶Here in NM the Fiesta is so incredible.
I had never heard this song until my aunt was on her deathbed, a week ago. She was special needs. She loved music and my aunts played this song for her, while she was no longer able to open her eyes or speak, because it was one of her favorite songs when she was a kid. She ended up passing away that evening, and I can't forget about this song since then because of the lyrics. Up up and away my beautiful...❤. Rest in peace Tia Martha. We miss you so much already.
Somebody PLEASE invent a time machine and take us all back to the mid to late 60s! Classic 5th Dimension!
Yes please. Get me out of this hellscape into a better time.
This song makes me feel lighter than air
Yep, let's go back to forced conscription to Vietnam, the Cold War, astronomical taxes, rampant racism and sexism, smoking permitted everywhere 🙄
Can I come with?
@@bruce1947 Yeah y'all aren't minorities I see, I'm good on going back to segregation
I’m 60. I’m so glad my parents loved this music. The 5th, Burt Bacharach, Brazil 66, Momma’s and the Poppa’s, etc
They don't make masterpieces like this now days!
☆☆☆☆☆
💯
Almost 60 years later, my soul and spirit continue to soar with this song!
It’s Time…🥰
At age nine, this electrifying masterpiece blasted while I swung on the swings on bright, sunny mornings with a cool breeze blowing. My grandparents always had the oldies station blaring. Literally my very best childhood memories.
p.s.- I still swing on the swings when this song is blasting (when nobody is looking.) Also Like To Get To Know You by Spanky and I Saw Her Again by Mamas/Papas.
@@gmail4218 my god, you must've been hell of fun!
My daughter is celebrating her 20th birthday today and I'm playing this for her. She loves this magnificent hymn to happiness and hope
Well said well bloody said for real
I remember hearing this a child on the radio...I loved it back then.
ME TOO. IT SOUNDS LIKE AN AIRLINE COMMERCIAL.
@@karlhelm875 It was used in a bread commercial. Nimble Bread it was called...,early 70s advert. I remember it played often on Pete Murray show and Jimmy Young show
in early years of BBC Radio Two.
@@voicezful thanks I knew it was for some bread but forgot
Me too
Same!
When it comes to beautiful, tight harmonies, the Fifth Dimension is up there with the Mamas and the Papas and Spanky and Our Gang. Nobody does it better.
Definitely, also the Moody Blues, maybe 3 Dog Night!
Those are hard rock bands with harsh vocals. @@ianstuart5660
Those two cannot hold a candle.
Not even close to having THREE BROTHERS HARMONIZE : THE BEEGEE'S , YOU PLEBS.
The Bee Gees were weird and their songs were not as good.
Love 5th Demension the very best of 1967 classic
Oh man........I am in my 70s now but feel 50 yrs younger listening to this song. Really love that era.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written and sung 🎈✨💖
IMO it's one of the most depressing songs ever written
Good call. Up Up and Away truly is one of the most awesome songs...and the vocals are out of sight.
Written by Jimmy Webb
Marilyn McCoo captured my heart with this song as a child. She still has it. 🥰
The 5th Dimension = Marilyn McCoo and other people.
@@clarenceday4773 I agree that Marilyn is absolutely one of the most beautiful and talented singers of her time, but Florence LaRue is holds her own in both those departments as well.
@@PrideofJefferson❤
This is a pure classic. Nonstop good music. Thank God I am old enough to have heard this music when it came out. Danced all over the house with my older sister, my brothers dancing too. Up Up and away!!!!
I remember listening to this on the radio with my Mom in the lKtchen in our home in Pittsburgh Pa
Sure seems like popular music was a lot happier back then. And all the bands had their own sound.
Man this feels so good even in 2022 😊
I love old school music.
That it does Charles! I'm 59 years Young
I have loved this song since I was about 8 years old. It was on a record my parents had of Space songs. The whole album was amazing.
I love Aquarius as well.
What a song. So positive.
I'm 48 now. Still positive.
Luv and Peace.
This song always depresses me 🙁🙁🙁
I lived it as a child. It was magical and indelible in my heart! At 69, it still gives me chills when I hear it.
@@heru-deshet359 It depresses me to listen to it
WOW UPLIFTING! !
This really is an uplifting song
Up Up and away in my Chinese Balloon.
The Alan Harper Ringtone
I search this alan ringtone for many days 😂🎉
Why cant music be like this anymore? The world was so full of love!!!
It is, go look for it
I think you've hit the nail on the head. Beautiful song.
The public got burnt out on the violence of the 1960s and 70s.
Well apart from the Vietnam war, northern Ireland, cold war etc... Rose tinted glasses. We are actually in better Times
@@gumusluk05 lol
The great Jimmy Webb, composer
This was the first song I heard on radio when we all first landed at SFO in 1967 as new immigrants from the Philippines. I was 14 years old then. Such a wonderful beautiful song! It will always have a special place in my heart.
Biggest American hit song in China now
Lol
This supernatural masterpiece excites, invigorates, and electrifies me with a passion for living.
The Fifth Dimension did not just move mountains, they moved the entire universe.
A classic track it sounds so much better than alot of today's crap
It sure does today's trash doesn't even compare to this!
..not a lot of today's crap...almost ALL of today's crap...total crap for at least the last 15 years...in all genres...
@@dyer2cycle shut up goober, fantastic music is still made today by incredible artists
It's called harmony
lots of folks make great music these days. the music biz has one motive which is to push crap. they both exist. seek out the good stuff. 55 years is too long to wait for good music. 😬😆
I just heard this song in the Hilton in Rio (from the UK), I’m 35 and this is one of the best happy songs I’ve ever heard! Love it! ❤
Love this song so much. It's always comforting and uplifting when the sadness, darkness, and injustices of the world seem overwhelming.
This song is rather depressing IMO
@@kenrutherford1109 Thank you for your comment, we're all dummer for it.
Yes indeed it's such a beautiful song.
I love it too it's absolutely fabulous
I'd like to know what in the world is depressing about this song? To me it's uplifting
Such an underrated. I’m 29 and yet I’ve come to appreciate this generation of music because of my parents. #Upupandaway
I just returned from Vietnam. The wife and I took another honeymoon. UP UP and Away. This was a hit at the time.
The lyrics, harmony and the orchestra are up, up and away! Thanks!
The chords in the outro are depressing 😥😥😥
Jimmy Webb👍
I keep hearing this on the radio
NO REGRETS
I envy you
How's it up there
LOL 🤣
I remember my parents playing this when I was a little girl. I’m 52 and still love this song as much as I did then.
I 2nd that ❤️.. @54
one of the greatest groups that came out in the late sixties, there music was great, they had talent could sing, and had the looks, too bad groups like this are not around.
This arrangement is pure genius.
It's reminds me of a beautiful summer time with blue skies
A song way before it's time by The Fifth Dimension ( a very real concept these days). I remember this as a little girl and how I could float away on the waves of music. Even to this day once in a while it plays in the background of my dreams. And it never fails to bring a heightened positive vibration to anyone who listens to this magical song.
Awesome
I was about 4 -5 years old when this was hitting the airwaves hard, and I remember always looking up to the sky if this song was playing loud from someones house as we played in the yard. As a child, I loved the 5th dimension!
My favorite 5th Dimension song.
Love the drama and the power in those horns and drums. Wrecking Crew were just epic
I played this song every night at the roller rink my dad owned back in the late sixties. Fifth Dimension was one of groups of the day that made growing up in this time the best. Marilyn McCoo had one of the best voices of the time too along with Karen Carpenter.
Another blast from the past…still recovering but gaining clarity everyday…. So up, up and away
A Supreme Standout Timeless Anthem From An Era Of Unbelievable Music.
Holds Different Memories For Each Of Us.
Remember This Like It Was Only Yesterday. Cheers 🍻 👏 ✌️ 🥂 For This Majestic Memory. ❤❤❤.
This beautiful balloon lifts my spirits ❤️
Lol
🎈❤
Definitely ❤ 🎈
I miss my youth
Such a beautiful vibe, no wonder they're the 5th dimension.
My first son was born June 01 of 1967. My Mother was 34 years old and she adored the Fifth Dimension and we shared a love of all their music. It was one of the few things we ever agreed on.
Not joking when I say Easter was not complete in my house with out this song. Plus Aquarius and many others
What a song. Very well produced, and engineered. Amongst the lyrics and singing.
Beutifull in it
Love that the Wrecking Crew helped made a beautiful background tracking on this one
The recording levels are all off. Lots of distortion.
Aways beautiful. That wonderful African American Group showed everyone just how much talent they possessed! Much of today's rap/hip hope is so much noise compared to how wonderful the 5th D was!!!!
Pop perfection. Even our tinny '60s transistor radios captured its spirit!
I was in chorus at my high school. We had a competition with several other schools and our school won first place singing this song.
that made me smile...nothing like winning a competition in high school!
I used to play this on my little record player when I was a kid. My brother and I would play it on 78, instead of 45, and laugh to the chipmunk sounding voices singing! LOL childhood memories...
Omg you’ve just unlocked a memory I used to do this at my grandmas house what a time
Wow - the Wrecking Crew killed on this. Hal's drumming and rolls at the fade. The string and horn arrangement from Paich with the amazing descending cello part on the second part of the verses. All the guitar parts; killer bass and keys. Imagine being in Sound Recorders in the middle of the room when they cut that. Another Jimmy Webb classic. Love to recut this using modern studio recording, strings and keeping as close to the original as possible. That'd be a blast. And exhilarating.
Mama Cass Elliot's Wrecking Crew? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA If only you know what lurked in Laurel Canyon.......................... this is a BAD copy of Sergio Mendez and Tom Jobim........and none of them killed people in the presence of JOHN HOLMES...........
Who was playing guitar? It sounds like Tommy Tedesco.
@@californiaslastgasp6847 You're right. It is Tommy Tedesco, RIP. He was so prolific as a session guitarist that he only recalled playing on the track when someone reminded him!
Some songs are better off left untouched. Redoing this one would be sacrilege. Most of the Wrecking Crew are long gone. Other performers would only cheapen this masterpiece song.
I'm Hearing You..... This was Just WOW !!!! Still Hittin in 2023 ☺☺😎👊💪💪💯💯💖
I loved this song as a kid. Now that I'm 68 it takes me back to when I was 8. In Australia it was used by a commercial air liner. It was the modern sound.
I had a freind that had this on 4 track tape with a quadrphonic speaker setup, back in the early 80's. Absolutely mind blowing.
oy. What a band.
Very relevant song for Feb 2023!!
Got a thumbs up from Prez Jinping hahahah thanks Xi, Means a lot Bro.
The 5th dimension have taken on a whole new dimension 🤣
A Chinese spy balloon was just shot down over SC the other day. Seems like such a good time for this beautiful and uplifting song. Always, always loved it
What a Beautiful song. ❤❤❤❤
I saw my sister perform in the school chorus and I was so proud of her!!! This was back in the 60's
That's the beautiful Marilyn McCoo singing lead on this song. She will later go on to sing "You don't have to be a star baby...(to be in my show) with Billy Davis. Great songs. Priceless memories.
Love her singing on One less bell to answer
It’s not over! God is with us!!!!
these chords will always be memorable
23 years old and just discovered this amazing song. I love it.
56 years old song
@@oleh9105 it’s so good
This song makes me happy and sad the memories come back yo me as a child thank you for your songs 5th dimension God bless ❤😢😊
Written by the legendary Jimmy Webb , an great pop song .
When love had a home...
I just like to hear this song start . It will never get old . Timeless clean beautiful Music 🎶 appreciated by all generations . Yes this is underrated for sure.
I heard simon sing this on the yogscast YEARSS ago and it was stuck in my head. Had to find out what it actually sounded like. Not disappointed
The Wrecking Crew!
Beautiful voices and melody
I was Bar Mitzvahed in February, 1969. This was the theme song, and my mom had large balloons as centerpieces on each table.
Omg I found YOU 😭😍😭😍😭 I swear these are happy tears ... For finally finding this song OMG 🤩🤩 this song has been living rent free in my head for 33 years in my head somehow when my ten-year-old self imprinted on it the only words I knew was up up up and away.... But then in my twenties I remember how many up up up and away and the word my beautiful balloon followed and I was like what now hear this 2023 Google has solved the mystery and led me here I'm so thankful I'm grateful to good nostalgic music that just makes you think of your childhood! Please Lord more days like this FOREVER
My parents played this all the time when I was a child. Now, I can't help but think of Carlton Banks (Fresh Prince of Bel Air) when I hear it now.
Unbelievable range; sings like an angel! No one comes close today
Spot on, Mark! These modern...performers need machines to help them sing.
One of my favourite songs as a kid in the 70's.
Fantastic sounds. Production is phenomenal.
My now, late maternal grandparents (Grace & Dan O'Connor) of Monson, MA let Dr. Thomas land his "Balloon" in their field!
Saw them in concert great music
Hello old Fella! Thats a great Song. I Love it too
Saw them live ? ...Wow u were Blessed..
I certainly imagine they put on a great show.
A gorgeous song that could be a hit today!
It should be revived on everyone's social media ..... in light of the recently shot down weather balloon.
60s pop perfection 👍❤️👍
This has been playing in my head frequently since I was 3 years old. I wonder what songs will today’s kids hear that stick with them?
None. All the crap played today sounds exactly alike. Auto tunes, falsettos and computer generated music. Junk.
Me too! :)
@@heru-deshet359 Yeah I can imagine a hellish nursing home in 80 years time when the mobile entertainer stops by: “Here you are ladies and gents! Who remembers this classic from 2018?”
@@heru-deshet359 Right
How have I been a musician for 34 years and NEVER heard this great song😳
????? where have you been !
@@eponnee I dunno😂
Remembering this 1969-70. Had the album and played it over & over.
❤❤🎈🎈
No autotuning or autovox with this band. Just pure singing..
Our band called The Neighborhood sang all of The 5th Dementions songs in 5 part harmony. We sounded just like The 5th Dementions in the 70's.
I guess this is a fav song of the Chinese Government 😆
Who’s listening after the Chinese ballon took off into Montana??
If Rush Limbaugh were still alive he'd take this song and play it in the background when discussing the China spy balloon fiasco
Hearing this song with a bottle of Wine I may go up, up and away and not come back. Great song.
They should've been inducted into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame decades ago.
Not quite rock. Closer to jazz if you ask me
@@iccash3579 Actually this type of music was called (Easy Listening) or Pop. Either way it was great music and group.
I agree 100% they were great. But it’s the wrong genre for Rock and Roll. Inducting them would’ve turned a few heads and not in a good way.
too white sounding
@@bruceyeager2895 what does that mean?
In 1967 I was involved in a serious car accident..i was in hospital for several weeks.when I can out I had to recuperate at home for a couple of months..i listened to the radio a lot..this was a song that brings back memories of that summer
The 5th Dimension are still stars to me.
Beautiful Chinese balloons 🎈 😍
A gem beyond measure❤😭
Hi Julie, how are you doing today 😊😊👋
Alan Harper's Ringtone
Yes!!
yup
Take me away from this horrible world world in a beautiful balloon to a place where love is waiting there',,,we can fly up up and away ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
God's chosen ones will experience that when they're resurrected
The Fifth Dimension were a beautiful group
Grew up with this song. Mom b ought the album Great to hear it. Many excellant songs
