equality.
This era of the 1960’s was the birth of political activism and hippies.
The music of the 1960’s had a great sense of love in earth, and life. A new western civilization was calling people from all over. In “The Mama’s & Papa’s California Dreaming,” you get the understanding of all of this through the song. The song talk’s about leafs changing color and walking through the snow, however you don’t need to be doing this because LA is calling. The warm sun of California where life is good, and the sky’s are no longer grey but clear and beautiful.
As well as moving to the west in the 1960’s was common. So was love and equality. This had a great meaning of the 1960’s and in the song Get together by “The Young Bloods,” you get the feel of passion towards people getting along. “Come-on people know smile on your brother everybody try to get to gather and try to love one another”. This line from the song represents the Romantic era notion of redemption in the 1960’s. The Romantic era of the 1960’s had expanded and was dominating the 1960’s. This gave birth to hundreds of songs, all written with the common

With the 1960’s the notion of coming to California was everywhere. If you wanted to be around people with “flowers in their hair,” and “people in motion,” you would come to California. These statements came from the song San Francisco, by “Scott Mackenzie”. The youth movement was filled with hippies coming from all over. They came to California to surf, party, and to be around their brothers and sisters. People in motion in this new exotic land were feeding off one another, and the music was displaying this new cultural change.
The music of the 1960’s supported this Romantic era perfectly. These songs show everything the 1960’s had represented, equality, love, and civil rights. If you always wanted to know what it was like living in the 1960’s you could simply just listen to the music. The post World War II baby boomers had a new look on life and society. They formed many very important changes we see today, mainly the civil rights movement. With World War II over redemption was in order from all the deaths and destruction came a new life. With the 1960’s came this redemption, the innocence had been restored in America and through this came this beautiful music that represented it.
