Good Morning Starshine: Serena Ryder
This song is the sound of morning to me.
I know Oliver had a hit with it in 1969, but I also like this cover. It is from Serena’s 2006 album If Your Memory Serves You Well. When I was looking up the original date for this song, I read that the album Get Together with Andy Williams, also released in 1969, had him singing this song with The Osmond Brothers. Another note mentioned that in the 1996 movie A Very Brady Sequel the villain Trevor Thomas ate psychoactive mushrooms in spaghetti that Alice made for him, and he daydreamed being in another world with this song.

I´ve never heard this version before and I really like it! This is my feel good song 🙂 I just can´t feel blue hearing this and sometimes when I work and feels bored I sing it to myself. Well not entirely to myself, because i sing rather loud 🙂 🙂

im6,
She has a unique voice, deep and resonant. It is perfect for this song.

I like this song very much. I remember the original from when I was very young.
Still, I could do without the whole “glibby glop gloopy” stuff. It sounds like fake hippiness.

Scott,
I think Hair was hippiness at its ultimate. Remember the outfits? This is a prancing song after a bit of the weed.
