    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
