Where's That Sound Coming From Presents: Questions But No Answers with Brian Marchese7 Apr 2025

Episode 18: Ep. 14 Daily Nightly/Love Is Only Sleeping

The Summer of Love has begun and psychedelia is in the air. This episode features two songs that were recorded on June 19, 1967 and which reflect the trippiness that defined the moment. Two of the players on these tracks had spent the previous days and nights at the Monterey Pop Festival and somehow still retained enough brain cells to be at the studio 300 miles south the next afternoon, ready to put in a 10 hour day. I’ll trace Peter Tork and Eddie Hoh’s journey from the chaotic and historic final hours of the Festival to the day-long next-day session with Mike and Chip. I’ll give my interpretation of the lyrics of “Daily Nightly” and talk about the Sunset Strip riots that inspired them, as well as Nesmith’s complex relationship to the hippie culture. Then I’ll compare and contrast Barry Mann’s bubblegum psych demo of “Love Is Only Sleeping” with the moody and dreamy Monkees version, talk a bit about 7/4 time and more! This episode is a first in two ways: 1) it features more than one song and 2) it’s the first to feature a song not written by Michael Nesmith. Ok, now that I have this episode out of the way I can start on my taxes. But this came first. I know my priorities. Enjoy.
