So you had to go and pull this one out of the back shed did ya WordWolf and thank Mrs. Wordwolf. Maybe Nitty Gritty Dirt Band? Maybe not. It's not Starlight Vocal Band but someone like it. From that era definitely. Give me a week and I may get it.
Not John Ford Coley but someone like him. Working on the name of the song.
It's been covered, but I'm pretty sure John Ford Coley was not in any band that's been known to have covered it, and was not in the original. (So, say, if he jammed in a club somewhere and did this, nobody knows but it's humanly possible.) I'll add more lyrics later.
"You know I love you, I always will.
My mind's made up by the way that I feel.
There's no beginning, there'll be no end.
'Cause on my love you can depend."
"It's written on the wind, it's everywhere I go
So if you really love me, come on and let it show."
I know this song very well. I really liked it when it came out. Mid 70's or late ? I like the orchestra playing and it's a very moody song. Good arrangement too. The band is not important now. I just can't come up with the name even though I can play most of it in my head.
"You know I love you, I always will.

'Cause on my love you can depend."
"It's written on the wind, it's everywhere I go
So if you really love me, come on and let it snow show."
"I see your face before me as I lay on my bed
I kinda get to thinking, of all the things you said
You gave your promise to me, and I gave mine to you
I need someone beside me in everything I do."
Thanks for the hint. Cavemen = troglodytes = Troggs
Obviously not "Wild Thing," so it must be
"Love Is All Around"
George
I was wondering if that was a BIT of a reach for a clue, but obviously you got there anyway. That is the correct artist and song.
Mrs Wolf knows it from "Love, Actually", where Bill Nye played an old rocker who redid the song with Christmas lyrics as "Christmas is All Around". That's where the "let it snow" line came from. She hadn't heard the original until the other week.
Hey kids shake it loose together
The spotlight's hittin' something that's been known to change the weather
We'll kill the fatted calf tonight so stick around
You're gonna hear electric music solid walls of sound

It was played on album oriented stations so that counts. I remember it I just can't think of the song right now

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.

Once beneath the stars, the universe was ours. Love was all we knew, and all I knew was you. I wonder where you are, I wonder if you think about me Once upon a time, IN YOUR WILDEST DREAMS. It mig

I can almost "hear" it, too, but just not enough to place it.

I'm hoping you guys come up with the name soon. I mean, you know music. I'm not dealing with a couple of cavemen here...

I'll take you on a moonlight ride
There's someone I used to see
But she don't give a damn for me
Some grow young, some grow cold
I woke up in between
A memory and a dream

The lyrics seem familiar, but I'm not hearing a melody yet, so I don't recognize it.

OK
I'll take you on a moonlight ride
There's someone I used to see
But she don't give a damn for me
Some grow young, some grow cold
I woke up in between
A memory and a dream
Let's head on down the road
There's somewhere I gotta go

Now I hear the harmonica. I know it will come to me. One of those line was familiar. Maybe I should turn the radio on or something.

The chorus connected. This was the late Tom Petty's "You Don't Know How it Feels".

No. Different song, different title, different artist.

"My car went into passing gear
And we took off with gust
Soon we were doing ninety -
Must've left him in the dust.
When I peeked in the mirror of my car
I couldn't believe my eyes:
The little Nash Rambler was right behind -
I think that guy could fly."
"I'll show him that a Cadillac
Is not a car to scorn."
"Now we're doing a hundred and ten -
This certainly was a race
For a Rambler to pass a Caddy
Would be a big disgrace."
NOW does it sound familiar? Even without sound effects?
