is the kind of song you never get tired of hearing, Arthur Lee for me, was and remains a genius, even remaining in the underground today. their music and the album Forever Changes are sublime for me and one of the best album ever made.
I have just recently discovered this album, after hearing about it from others for many years. At first, I thought: this is interesting, however after repeated listens, this has really grown on me. Especially this song in particular, which has a beautiful melody, great words, and soul stirring singing from Arthur on it. Amazing that during the 30 + years I have listened to music that I have never heard any of these songs anywhere. It is almost like I've just been let in to a secret society. In my opinion, Forever Changes stands up to any of the great albums that came out that year. Awesome!
Well, you're not wrong! I've listened to Forever Changes intermittently since it was first released (I knew the previous albums already) and it still sounds quite unlike anything else. I'm new to these late performances though - they're really wonderful and don't sound in the least churned out by rote to make a buck - completely heartfelt. Poignant indeed that he probably knew he didn't have long left to live.
In my 20s, I got a psychedelic years CD set and Alone Again Or was on it. I liked it so much, I bought a couple of Love CDs, one being Forever Changes. It is one of my favourite albums of all time.
you mean that year 1967 ? I would say among the thousands of records of popular music, except classical, I have or have listened to it is clearly in the Top 5 !!!
Forever Changes was and still is one of my favourite Albums. Love were truly innovative and progressive their Music was way beyond their time. Sadly missed.
I was lucky to see the band many times around 66-69 at a place called The "Teen Beat Club" located in Las Vegas. This is back when he never wanted to stray far from LA, his comfort zone. I know he liked us and the vib he felt when he visited and played. I and all there where always blown away each and every time! Thanks guys....
I was lucky to run to the store for all my Love LP's as they were released.... Arthur Lee and Bryan Maclean, Johnny Echols, Ken Forssi, Snoopy....The original LOVE....When Forever Changes came out they had gone to the greatness that only Elektra artists could achieve with superior recordings...Bruce Botnick thank you too!!!
Just FANTASTIC! Arthur Lee's voice is just as strong in 2003 as ever! Wonderful performance, have always been one of the finest rock bands of the 60's. Amazing show! I saw them in early 80's in SF.
It's wonderful to hear his voice solo----I love LOVE and wouldn't ever want to give up "Forever Changes", but this really gives the song a new dimesion. Thanks for sharing.
It was Arthur Lee who recommended The Doors to the Elektra label. ALL of us listened to Love ... they didn't tour much, but, when they did, we came out in droves to see them. Just the best! Better than Springfield; Airplane; all of them. Everyone knew it.
omg. Forever Changes, hands down the MOST UNDERRATED and conversely, the one of the best rock albums of the past century, including this band! Seminal, beautifully melodic...thought provoking and clever.
I was 18 when I saw Love at the Grande in Detroit. I'd heard all of their records and loved them. I was innocent, but I'd boozed & drugged enough to know that Arthur was better than anyone else. This song encompasses the pain of young heartbreak, without being dumb. The Beatles & Stones can take a walk. Arthur kicked their asses. DC
Never seen anybody better live than him......the Beatles.....the Rolling stones... Nothing on him, I agree....although Janis Joplin is way up there with him for totally different reasons.
bless you guys for catching on... arthur lee was the man! he was awful sometimes to his crew, but like someone wrote elsewhere in this tract, 'surely this is the music of heaven'. I am 58, and cannot live without this album, love records. p.s. I am in a band still, and I do a few love songs myself still
i am fortunate to have seen some of the post prison performances , including the first Knitting Factory show . i also feel entitled to brag i was at a LOVE show at Hulluballoo Concert 1966 !
I saw Arthur Lee and Love on Dutch TV somewhere in the early seventies (or late sixties, I don't remember exactly), in the original line up, they were brilliant! Especially Da Capo and Forever Changes are on my favourites list ever since.
Was 16 when I got this album and have two albums,two CD'S, had two 8 tracks that wore out, and recorded many onto cassette. Have all today except the 8 tracks.The best band and album ever.
it's incredible that Arthur Lee might actually been better live even in his 50's than in studio... sounds incredible here. He lived a rough life and had got out of a 5 yr prison term two yrs prior and to think he actually died of cancer three yrs later... RIP.
the moat underrated artist in rock story. just he did creted love and peace philosophy and hippy living way. he so great like BEATLES and STONES and BOB DYLAN; Rest In Peace ARTHUR LEE.
Yes very underated, The out sold the beatles at one time. I was lucky to see them a few years bak in london. just pure chance i got tickets. i quit my job cos my boss wouldn't let me have it off. Great legend with the others !
I wish I'd got my sh*t together to go and see him on that tour. I saw him in Slough (of all places) in 1974, but the concert was terrible (he was a bit off his head, I think). This was more like it ...
I think it should be touted and spoke on in the same breath as sgt. pepper or even a pet sounds, etc. The notoriety today, BECAUSE it didn't receive the credit it deserved back then, thus leaving it a "buried tresure", seems more nostalgic rather than being iconic in nature. Although it's a gem of an album, music-snobs or afficianados seem to know more about it, compared to the mainstream audience.
One of the greatest 60s rock bands ever, have all their records and play them often,just a great song from a great time in the 60s
Ron Johnson me too!
Ohhhh YES !
Saw him at liquid rooms in Edinburgh 2003,great gig and atmosphere! 🎶🎸
Gracias a mí padre descubrí Love y esta es una de mis canciones favoritas de todos los tiempos
So glad I didn't miss that tour
I saw him 2 nights in a row. He even smiled at me for a brief moment.

Oh my god...how beautiful was Arthur Lee?? 😭😭
Wow! Great sound and Arthur Lee's voice is strong despite the horrible disease he was enduring. Again, wow!
It's wonderful to hear his voice solo----I love LOVE and wouldn't ever want to give up "Forever Changes", but this really gives the song a new dimesion. Thanks for sharing.

WHAT A GREAT WRITER AND COMPOSER ONE OF THE BEST BANDS OUT OF LA
Such a vibrant performer, Arthur T. Lee
omg. Forever Changes, hands down the MOST UNDERRATED and conversely, the one of the best rock albums of the past century, including this band! Seminal, beautifully melodic...thought provoking and clever.
I love this band
prettiest song forever
this man? and his music? has made my life worth it all.even the pain. God Bless and keep you Arthur. Lee.
Disturbingly good.
What a genius he was!! Such beautiful melodies!!
I was 18 when I saw Love at the Grande in Detroit. I'd heard all of their records and loved them. I was innocent, but I'd boozed & drugged enough to know that Arthur was better than anyone else.

DA Clifford It's not a competition. Arthur and Love were great. So were the Beatles
+DA Clifford maybe 1970 ish at the Grande...he sure sounded different than this...more like Living Color
Never seen anybody better live than him......the Beatles.....the Rolling stones... Nothing on him, I agree....although Janis Joplin is way up there with him for totally different reasons.
15... Front row Huntington Beach. AL was off stage smoking "reefer". We were all naive but came around lol . Brilliant
Pure Love.

I just discovered this very talented artist and it's making my day !
I was 15 when I heard LOVE then came Forever Changes and at 62 now I still love this timeless sound.
Sublime! 😎👌⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A commanding general sir Arthur is over everybody in his presence!!!
Great! Brilliant! Simply fabulous!
Yes, a masterpiece! This song has seen me through many a day...
His voice was still strong. Until the end
Sounds just like the album. Brilliant.
What a great sound of that bass!
The audio is really well recreated as the album!
Outstanding ...

Love is the right name , genius talent
it's incredible that Arthur Lee might actually been better live even in his 50's than in studio... sounds incredible here. He lived a rough life and had got out of a 5 yr prison term two yrs prior and to think he actually died of cancer three yrs later... RIP.
He did, 2006. R.I.P Robert Plant helped arrange benefit concert for his hospital care.
Saw this tour - Brighton Dome - remember it very well !
the moat underrated artist in rock story. just he did creted love and peace philosophy and hippy living way. he so great like BEATLES and STONES and BOB DYLAN; Rest In Peace ARTHUR LEE.
Спасибо за настроение,Артур!)
A real masterpiece! I'm speechless...
A true legend
surely this is the music of heaven.
so beautiful.
Love AndMoreAgain
loved them
heaven
love this. such a pity i never got to see him live. when i first heard this song, i thought he was saying ann morgan.
How someone can dislike this? Dont understand...
Yes very underated, The out sold the beatles at one time.
I was lucky to see them a few years bak in london. just pure chance i got tickets. i quit my job cos my boss wouldn't let me have it off.
Great legend with the others !
Respect. Quitting work.
JUST AWESOME !!
the people in the know about music rate love consistently as making the best album of all time in forever changes!
greatest musician ever!!
How lucky I was to have caught this tour...
hell yes
Wow, is he in great voice.
best band ever!!!!!!!!!
Wow...he sounds great for being as old as he was when this was performed
Thanks JJ for pointing me to this, Tx
THIS SONG IS ABOUT ARTHUR'S GIRLFRIEND AT THE TIME ANNE MORGAN!! ORANGE SKIES WAS ALSO WRITTEN ABOUT HER AS WELL!!
Bryan MacLean wrote Orange Skies... when he was 17 years old, before Love was formed.
Edit: Just noticed your comment was made a year ago. :)
I did not know that...makes complete sense to me now!
@elleboucher Andmoreagain was written by Arthur Lee and Bryan MacLean...It was sung by Arthur. MacLean performed the lead vocal on Old Man...
if you dont get chills listening to this you must be dead, awesome
Yes, I echo your sentiments..... very much so.
highly recommended collectors edition 2 cd of forever changes from last year elektra and rhino did justice on this classic peace Bean68
emozioni.....
וואו איזה ביצוע
Fantástico
Arthur ci manchi...
did hard time too! Christ what a mixed up world...RIP Arthur...
What Bob Dylan said about Gordon Lightfoot songs kind of sums it up for Love, too: you wish they would go on forever.
I wish I'd got my sh*t together to go and see him on that tour. I saw him in Slough (of all places) in 1974, but the concert was terrible (he was a bit off his head, I think).
This was more like it ...
Es la mejor rola de ese jodido gran album, de ese jodido gran año musical 1967!!!

Here is the one hour radio show we made with Johnny Echols www.mixcloud.com/Resonance/clear-spot-in-conversation-with-johnny-eccles-01-july-2016/
