When I type " examples of psychedelic music" into youtube, the second thing to come up is "The authentic Psychedelic era (best of 60s-70s)"

I found this to be a pretty interesting list of songs, many of which I never thought about as being Psychedelic.

Whiter Shade Of Pale, for example. I also never knew that Robin Trower played for them. Years later, I saw Robin play at the Button South in Miami. I talked to him for a bit. He was a really nice guy to me.

1967 seems to be an exceptional year for this form of music. I was somewhere in the general vicinity of Viet Nam in that year. Part of the people who never were, doing the things we never did, in the places we never went to.

I did get a chance to listen to the music of the times, and it was more or less the only connection we had to the outside world. We were not even allowed to possess United States currency.

I am sure all those circumstances caused a deeper emotional connection to the music of that time period.

I have never been one to play many cover tunes, but lately, Herbstock caused me to go listen to some cover songs Eddie was interested in and be ready to play them.

That sort of got me off on a track of messing around on the guitar, trying to play something from memory in the style of things that I listened to in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

That thinking leads me to the above youtube link.

There are a lot of interesting chord progressions/riffs/musical ideas, and funny lyrics in that series of videos.

"You got a hubcap diamond star halo" T Rex Get It On

Stones
"It's so very lonely, you're a hundred light years from home"

Donovan
"Must be the season of the witch"

David Bowie
"Ground control to Major Tom" (that probably had a very different meaning to a pilot who flew in Southeast Asia in those days)

If you look at some of the videos, I hope you find them of interest.

If you have any interest in creating a modern-day song based on the "psychedelic era of the 60s/70s, PM me.
