This is a pop rock song with lots of neat chords and a strong hook. 1965 will capture the listeners and hold them...the acoustic guitar at the intro opens this song and takes you through 1965, as if you had been transported by time capsule.The King Edward Hotel was a famous spot where all the big artists would stay.Some included The Beatles, The Stones, Kings and Queens, and many more. |

Story Behind the Song
This song is based upon special events that took place in 1965.
I recall sitting in the park with a couple of friends, when all of a sudden this incredible bright, orange pastel of light blazed the skies.
This was somewhat odd because it was 9:30 at night and very dark. We were in awe.
We believe it was a meteorite and years later was confirmed that it was.
This was also the year I saw The Beatles live at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, Canada.
The beginning of my teens and the serious entree into my musical career...highschool, girls, girls, girls.
One of my first bands was called MANNA and we became the house band at the El Patio in Yorkville.....
this was a very musical-oriented district in the 60's and such names as Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot,
John Kay and many others emerged to become icons of their art ....although I was not allowed to drink at the El Patio, I was allowed to play.
Lyrics
1965 (words & music) by Jimi B
It was 1965 I became alive
20,000 voices echoed The Gardens
The heroes performed
Flashes of Kodak lightning
Blinded our eyes
Some cried out of joy
King Edward was smiling
The trollies would ring their bells
When they went passing by
They smiled and waved
Hello hello
Smoked my first in the backseat of a Vauxhall
Couldn't wait to come down down
Salvatore admired his Plymouth Savoy
While stealing kisses in the park
And Mustang Sally cruised the Yonge Street
If ever a demon on wheels
There was something in the air
I was there a teenage awakening
I'm sure God would agree
This time with me
And we were immune
Tomorrows would never come
We howled at the moon
From our virgin box
Yeah Yeah Yeah
When she touched me my senses ran wild
Cliche poetry of woman and child
And forever seemed to short a time
For the brave hearts
All the signs were challenged
All the time
There was something in the air
I was there a teenage awakening
I'm sure God would agree
There was something... I was there
No one cared no one heard a thing
There was something in the air
I was there a teenage awakening
I'm sure God would agree
There was something in the air
There was something in the air...
No one cared no one saw a thing
There was something in the air
Cause I was there a teenage awakening
I'm sure God would agree
This time with me
Hello Hello
