For me, this is simply one of the most beautiful and haunting songs ever recorded. The obvious meaning is that this is a song about that moment in the exhausted afterglow "Making love with you has left me peaceful, warm and tired..." However the song takes on a whole new meaning, forever, if you ever hear it played in connection with a funeral. "Sleep, silent angel..."

@@BillGraper Graham Nash was a dominant singer during those 60s pop hits. Clarke was a founder with him and definitely sang some good leads but Graham was the engine during those mid 60s songs.

That's when HE ANIT HEAVY and LONG COOL WOMAN, etc etc followed. By then he was their main voice and only lead singer. Funny, that Nash left because he felt the group was far too pop sounding, but some those Clarke songs that followed his departure were pretty deep.

The brilliant Allan Clarke was the lead singer on all of their hits..he never lost that strength in his voice as he got older like a lot of singers do..a genuinely nice down to earth guy..

"Bus Stop" and "Look Through Any Window" are two great Hollies songs that were written by Graham Gouldman who went on to form 10cc. You really must do some 10cc songs - not just "I'm Not in Love" but perhaps "Art for Art's Sake" or Wall Street Shuffle".

This song is from 1974. My faves for future Hollies reactions would be their first big U.S. hit, Bus Stop (1966) and Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress (1972). In the 60's, the lead singer was Graham Nash who went to Crosby, Stills, and Nash in '69. He wanted to make more sophisticated music and after he left them, the Hollies did too.

I really like what you guys do. So many times we are soaked in today's culture that we miss all the root influences that make the foundation of today's music. There were such huge changes in music in the fifties and sixties that nothing we hear today would exist without them. It's been decades since I heard "The Air That I Breath" and suddenly I"m reminded how much I loved that band and that song. Keep sifting through the soil that was laid down by the Hollies, The Birds, The Doors......all those forgotten bands that deserve remembrance. This reminds me of my discovery of the Boogie Woogie days of my parents in the thirties and the war years. Yes, the roots of Rock and Roll were back there.

Hearing this song just brings back so many memories of my childhood. Born in 72, and my mom would listen to music by Carly Simon, Jackson Browne, Simon and Garfunkel, etc. What's weird is now, I am a giant headbanger, so one minute I will listen to something like My Sweet Lord by George Harrison, and the next, I will listen to Mt. Skull by Pig Destroyer. It's really weird as hell.

One of my absolute favourite tracks from the Hollies! Allan Clarke is the lead singer,fantastic! Please continue with this,you folks rock❤🙏👍

Still would love to hear “Please Come To Boston” by Dave Loggins 😃

Try Expose'(x-po-zay), "Come Go With Me", "Let Me Be the One", "Seasons Change".... So many good songs by this 80's and 90's girl group

I stumbled on their album on cassette tape at a garage sale back in the day (dang am I old lol) So good and sooo classic 80s.

MY FAVORITE HOLLIES TUNE FOR SURE!😊😊😊😊

The Hollies never have gotten the recognition and fame they deserved. Amazing group and talent.
