Blindelingse Greep in de RG-Collectie II-33 levert Reach out of the darkness van Friend & Lover op. Eerlijk gezegd zou ik het nummer glad vergeten zijn als het niet de herkenningsmelodie was van een programma op Pacifica Houston waar ik jarenlang naar geluisterd heb toen het op voor Nederland acceptabele tijden werd uitgezonden.
De lp is van 1969, het nummer was een hit in de zomer van 1968, de single is evenwel uit 1967. Friend & Lover waren niet erg lang een stel. Voor mij hoort het vooral bij een groot deel van deze eeuw waarin ik naar collega The Vinyl Avenger luisterde.
I think it’s so groovy now
That people are finally getting together
I think it’s so wonderful and how
That people are finally getting together
I think it’s so groovy now
That people are finally getting together
I think it’s so wonderful and how
That people are finally getting together
Reach out in the darkness
Reach out in the darkness
Reach out in the darkness
And you may find a friend
I knew a man that I did not care for
And then one day this man gave me a call
We sat and talked about things on our mind
And now this man, he is a friend of mine
Reach out in the darkness
Reach out in the darkness
Reach out in the darkness
And you may find a friend
I think it’s so groovy now
That people are finally getting together
I think it’s so wonderful and how
That people are finally getting together
I think it’s so groovy now
That people are finally getting together
I think it’s so wonderful and how
That people are finally getting together
Don’t be afraid of love
Don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid to love
Listen to me
Everybody needs a little love
Everybody needs somebody
That they can be thinking of
Now, reach out!
Reach out in the darkness
Reach out in the darkness
Reach out in the darkness
And you may find a friend
I think it’s so groovy now
That people are finally getting together
I think it’s so wonderful and how
That people are finally getting together
I think it’s so groovy now
That people are finally getting together
I think it’s so wonderful and how
That people are finally getting together
I think it’s so groovy now
That people are finally getting together
I think it’s so wonderful and how
That people are finally getting together
I think it’s so groovy now
That people are finally getting together
I think it’s so wonderful and how
That people are finally getting together
Reach out OF the darkness is echt de titel
