Heart and Soul
The Monkees Lyrics
Love in a vacuum, love in a space,
Love without even the little hint of a trace,
Love in confusion then love doesn't show on your face.
Love is a stranger, love is a box,
Love is the key that fits a million locks,
Love is a mystery when love is the devil you call.
Put your heart and soul where I can see them shine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can think they're mine,
Love at a distance, love at a walk,
Love at the limit if only people could talk,
Love for the moment it takes to its wings like a hawk.
Love for tomorrow, love for today,
Love for the hour it could be coming your way,
Love for a puzzle you need a solution to play.
Put your heart and soul where I can see them shine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can think they're mine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can see them shine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can think they're mine.
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can see them shine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can think they're mine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can see them shine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can think they're mine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can see them shine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can think they're mine.

Read Full BioThe Monkees assembled to be the stars of an American television series of the same name, which ran on NBC from 1966 to 1968. The original lineup was: Micky Dolenz (drums, vocals), Michael Nesmith (guitar, vocals), Davy Jones (percussion, vocals) and Peter Tork (bass, keyboards, vocals) . The Monkees were formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, California and initially disbanded in 1970 at the conclusion of their recording contract. At their peak they were competing with The Beatles for the top spot on album charts.
In the years since their original disbanding, the group has reunited in various incarnations, mostly involving Dolenz, Tork and Jones, but not Nesmith. The first reunion began in 1986 and at first featured only Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork. Davy Jones joined the others and a new album was released before they split again in 1989.
The next regrouping took place between 1993 and 1997 and featured a new album that included the particpation of all four members. A further reunion between 2001 and 2002, was followed by another reunion in 2011 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the television show. This reunion was cut short before 2011 had ended due to scheduling problems with the anniversary tour.
The unexpected death of Davy Jones at the beginning of 2012 prompted the most recent reunion tour, this time featuring Dolenz, Tork and Nesmith.
Created by producers of a TV series to be an American Beatles, the antics of the Monkees band members on the television series were very reminscent of Beatles' antics in films like 'Help' and 'Hard Day's Night'. Indeed, in songs like 'Forget that Girl...', the band and even the lead singer could sound just like the Beatles. With songs provided by Don Kirshner from such writers as Neil Diamond and Carole King, among others, the Monkees were assured of pop success. However, in the beginning, the four group members were hired only as actors to front the band and to provide the vocals whilst studio musicians recorded the backing music. These recordings were provided by Kirshner. Things changed though after the success of the single Last Train to Clarksville, the first hit, leading to demands that the band play live gigs. Having learned to play the music, the band became angry when the second LP was recorded (by Kirshner) by studio musicians, without their knowledge or musical input. They therefore demanded and obtained control of the music.
Nesmith who revealed that the band did not perform on their records was also instrumental in getting Don Kirshner sacked. the next album Headquarters was recorded by The Monkees alone, using hand picked producer Chip Douglas. While not as successful as their first two albums it made it to number one, only to be replaced a week later by The Beatles' Sgt Pepper album. The Monkees eventually settled on a formula of using their own talents as well as those of studio musicians. After two seasons the network and the group could not reach agreement on the format of a third season and the show was canceled even though the ratings were still high. A feature film named Head co-written by The Monkees, Jack Nicholson and Bob Rafelson) followed.
Peter Tork was the first to leave the band, in 1968, during 1969 The TV show went into Saturday morning reruns and the three remaining Monkees recorded two more albums. in 1969 Nesmith departed and began a serious foray into merging country and rock music. He also eventually developed a format that became MTV. By the way his mother invented a product called Liquid Paper, sold it to the Gillette Company for $47 million dollars then died a year later leaving the money to her only son. The remaining two Monkees Dolenz and Jones recorded one last album named Changes in late 1969.
There has, however, been a resurgent interest in The Monkees' music Rhino Records has been instrumental in restoring all their albums, adding bonus tracks, and equipping them with complementary liner notes and stories.
Davy Jones died on February 29, 2012 in Indiantown, Florida.
Peter Tork died on February 21, 2019, at his home in Mansfield, Connecticut.

Love in a vacuum, love in a space,
Love without even the little hint of a trace,
Love in confusion then love doesn't show on your face.
Love is a stranger, love is a box,
Love is the key that fits a million locks,
Love is a mystery when love is the devil you call.
Put your heart and soul where I can see them shine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can think they're mine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can see them shine.

Put your heart and soul where I can see them shine,

I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can see them shine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can think they're mine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can see them shine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can think they're mine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can see them shine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can think they're mine.

@The-Quiet-One I saw them 2 years before!

I was incredibly fortunate to see them play in Melbourne Australia during their tour in 1988. I had one of the best nights ever with my mum who had loved the band for years. Such incredibly happy memories.

Well 2022

2022. Takes me right back to the joy of seeing this the first time. I was a huge Monkees fan already, having discovered reruns of the show a couple years before this came out. My brother and I proceeded to dig deep into their catalogue and their story. Such talented, largely underrated guys.
Aimee Ward
The Monkees did a great job of remaking themselves for the 80's, Kind of funny to see them walking around in 80's garb, but I'm glad they came back. Would have been great if Mike could be there too, but it's still fun to see the other three. Loved the ending. True Monkees. MULLET ALERT!! MULLET ALERT!!
Bobby Stereo
Mike is in the video. Cameo appearance. He hands them the video tape.
Tasha Nicole
Boy Mike did some weird stuff in the 80s! Elephant, eraserhead, he was such a delightful weirdo too

I haven't seen this in forever! I really love the callbacks to the original Monkee-type of humor! This really feels like a lost episode of The Monkees! Peace to Davy and Peter, wherever their spirits may roam!
