It's a Beautiful Day Today - Moby Grape

It's a Beautiful Day Today - Moby Grape
3:06
Moby Grape '69, 1969
Written by Bob Mosley

Despite my lifetime of listening to classic rock, I know next to nothing about this band.  I expected ornate, psychedelic rock, but this song is quiet, optimistic, and understated.  Sung by bassist Bob Mosley, it's a low-key, almost droning, folk-rock number, drenched in hippie serenity.  "From dawn to dawn a lifetime / The birds sing and day's begun / The heavens shine from dawn to dusk / With golden rays of sun."  Like, we're all one, man.
