July Morning (10:31)

Cover of Easy Livin'   The Ultimate Collection

From Easy Livin' The Ultimate Collection and 77 other releases

“July Morning” is a song by the 1970s band Uriah Heep. It is the third track of their 1971 album Look At Yourself.

The song was written by the band’s keyboardist Ken Hensley and original lead singer, David Byron. Approximately the last four minutes of the piece consist of an (accompanied) organ solo, serving as a fine example of Hensley’s keyboard talents. The “odd” sounding calliope riffs are actually Manfred Mann, who according to the album’s liner notes “Appears for the first time with his Moog synthesizer.”

There I was on a July morning
Looking for love
With the strength of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun

    Such a marvelous piece of art should never be forgotten. I can imagine myself in an apocalypse trying to preserve art such as this.

    I would like to thank my dad for letting me listen to his album collection as a young boy featuring the Heep, UFO, Rainbow, Deep Purple, etc, instead of the shit they called "pop" in the late 80s and early 90s. Great song.

    "July Morning" should have been as referred as "Stairway to Heaven", if not more. It's got Mozart status in countries like Russia.
