Overall Meaning

the song '1970' by Iggy & The Stooges delves into the hedonistic lifestyle of young people during the early 1970s. The lyricist describes being out of their mind on a Saturday night, with the year 1970 in sight. The radio is playing and a beautiful partner is providing pleasure and joy all night long. The singer is living for the moment, with the intention of enjoying this night of freedom until they "blow away." The refrain "I feel alright" is repeated throughout the song, which conveys a sense of euphoria and a desire to escape from the world's problems for a while.

The song may be interpreted as an ode to the societal changes that began occurring in America during the 1970s, with the hippie movement and the sexual revolution. This was a period of experimentation, liberation, and rejection of traditional values. It's possible that the singer in the song is using substances to enhance their experience and feel free from inhibition. By saying they want to "blow away," they could indicate that they are seeking an escape or transcendent state. The music's raw, garage rock sound perfectly evokes this feeling of breaking free from social norms, authority figures, and expectations.
