(9,899 posts)Astrology was just one of the pop culture constructs predicting that humanity would experience a paradigm shift to reach a better future. The idea that we were on the cusp of a kind of fundamental expansion of our consciousness as a species permeated everything in that time period.
The song has a celebratory quality that is catchy and positive with great harmonies, so it was a big hit. The 5th Dimension had a lot of them. We sang it in 8th and 9th grade Chorus; it's fun to sing and uplifting, too. But I'm discovering it's still a difficult earworm to lose!
And that was kind of my point, anyway. This is more than an election. The stars seem to be aligning for us and that's a really good thing for the nation AND the world. I don't believe in astrology - although I am a Gemini, so ask me tomorrow - but the sentiments and that feeling of seeing an amazing future on the horizon, the anticipation and excitement? The song expresses it and I feel it now.
I think it would be a great song for the campaign pllaylist.
