Every once in awhile, it’s good to let your hair down and get footloose and fancy free. No decade symbolizes freedom more than the 70s. Disco. Bell bottoms. Lava lamps. Wall phones. The Pet Rock. Vinyl. Many elements made the 70s an out-of-sight decade.
Some may think 70s music is “old,” but not only did the 70s have some of the best music, but the saying, “What’s old is new again,” holds true. With various new artists trying to recapture that classic 70s sound, it’s good to know where this stems from and get in touch with the originals. Knowledge gives freedom. Even enough freedom to dance barefoot in the grass.
Dancing in the Moonlight – King Harvest
16 June 2017
To me, this song captures the essence of the seventies. It’s whimsical, magical, ethereal, groovy, light/dark, cold/warm. The Wurlitzer electric piano that’s used throughout the song gives it a jovial, yet melancholy feel. The song sounds like a carnival rag dipped in teardrops.
