(Look to the sky)
The lyrics of Roy Ayers Ubiquity's song 'The Third Eye' seem to be calling out to the listener to look towards the sky in search of something elusive - the third eye. The repetition of 'Baby baby baby' becomes almost like a chant, possibly to create an atmosphere of meditation or introspection. The idea of the third eye comes from Hinduism, where it is believed to be a mystical, spiritual concept associated with enlightenment and introspection. Thus, the lyrics suggest that the listener should look beyond the physical world to find wisdom and enlightenment.
The repetition of 'Secrets of numbers, secrets of sound,' adds to the spiritual nature of the song, echoing the mystical belief that sound and numbers have a deeper significance beyond their physical properties. The song suggests that by seeking to find the third eye and unlocking the secrets of numbers and sound, we can find the secrets of wisdom. The song implies that there is a mystery to the world that can only be unlocked by looking beyond the physical realm and finding deeper meaning in the abstract.
Overall, the lyrics of 'The Third Eye' encourage the listener to look beyond the mundane world to find meaning and wisdom within the esoteric, using the mystical concept of the third eye as an anchor.

Mood altering..certain musicians reached into the core of our subconscious in the 70's. The result is timelessness.

His sound is so powerful that "Sunshine" is in our conscience when we hear his music. All his music sounds like summer to me, some a hot afternoon some a warm evening
@Sweet_Jazz
Roy Ayers was ahead of his time. He does not get the recognition he deserves. This song is always relevant no matter the decade.
