Not an edit. Just a nice love song of the album "Afterglow" (1995 reissue by Sundazed SC 6074). "Afterglow" was an American psychedelic rock band in the late 1960s. Most of the album's tracks were written by Tony Tecumseh (from the native American tribe Modoc), with Gene Resler taking the majority of lead vocals.The album was released in 1968 on the MTA label, but was not successful at the time and the band split up shortly afterwards.
In later years the album acquired a cult reputation, being described as "a classic example of California pop and psychedelic" and "like a sampler of American psychedelic styles", recalling the music of the Doors, Jefferson Airplane, the Byrds and others. In 1995 members of the band reunited to perform, though without Topny Tecumseh because of his poor health. Tony Tecumseh came to be regarded as "a forerunner in Native American involvement in rock and roll music" and was awarded the Native American Music Association's Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011. He died in 2012.
MEND THIS HEART OF MINE
(Gene Resler)
there's nothing I can find
to mend this heart of mine
there's nothing
that can make me forget you
well I tried everything
that pleasure could bring
but my soul feels empty and blue
'cause I know that I'm nothing
without you by my side
you brought me sunshine every day
took all my blues away
I long for your embrace
and to see your smiling face
that makes my life seem worthwhile
well I just can't bear
to know that you're not there
because I need you to reconcile
'cause I know that I'm nothing
without you by my side
you brought me sunshine every day
took all my blues away
