It seemed — in 1968 — the possibilities of peace and brotherhood could be realised that very year. We're still working on it.

The softer you sing, the louder you're heard.

Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new: Hail Atlantis!

Atlantis (1968)

Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be.

Atlantis (1968)

Histories of ages past
Unenlightened shadows cast.
Down through all eternity
The crying of humanity.
'Tis then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love...

Hurdy Gurdy Man (1967)
