Back to The Misty Wizards...The song 'It's Love' is a classic flower psych tune with sitar (Ted Lucas got some coaching from Ravi Shankar on a visit to Los Angeles), finger symbols, clattering tambourine and just about anything else that made music in 1967 cool as fuck. There is a line in the song 'Colored sights and sounds' and it was that line that gave the world (or rather about 20 people from the garage punk forum my free CDR compilations 'Coloured Sights And Sounds' that ran to 4 volumes.
The uncompiled 'Blue Law Sunday' is also a personal favourite psychedelic raver. Surprisingly Fuzz, Acid and Flowers labeled this track dull??? What a bunch of losers because it is certainly not dull. It reminds me of perfect Sunset Strip garage psych music from 1967 with cool male/female vocals. It's got a magical guitar break over a one note bass line and primitive drums.
It's Love

Do you know what I found?
Glasses filled with colored sights and sound
And as I looked around me
Nothing new I see
Only in the way it seems to be
Different from the rest
Something that makes this one seem the best
Do you know the feelin'?
(Do you know?)
That rocks you while it's reelin'?
(Do you know?)
Reelin', thievin', even stealin' from my heart
It's love
It's love
(Yes, it's love)
It's love
(Yes, it's love)
It's love
(Yes, it's love)
It's love
(Yes, it's love)
It's love
(Yes, it's love)
It's love
(Yes, it's love)
It's love
It's love
It's love
It's love
Don't you know it's love
When I awoke this morning
Do you know what I found?

The Misty Wizards’ song “It’s Love” is a joyful celebration of the power of love. The opening lines describe the singer’s experience of waking up to a world transformed by this feeling. The ordinary objects around him become imbued with new life and meaning, as if colored by the sights and sounds of love itself. The song suggests that this is a unique and transformative experience, different from anything else the singer has known. As the chorus repeats, the singer declares his certainty that what he is feeling is indeed love.
The verses of the song are both playful and introspective, mixing vivid images of “rocks” and “reeling” with quiet observation. The language suggests that the experience of love has opened up a new way of seeing the world, as if it has allowed the singer to transcend his ordinary perception and experience things in a deeper and more profound way. The chorus, meanwhile, is simply an exclamation of joy - a reminder that the power of love is self-evident and needs no explanation.
Overall, “It’s Love” is a simple and joyful song that celebrates the transformative power of love. It suggests that this feeling is something unique and special - something that fills us with wonder and makes our ordinary lives feel magical.
