It’s time to say
It’s time to know
That it’s O.K., that some must go.

Buzzy Linhart is not so much a one-hit wonder as a no-hit wonder. “The Love’s Still Growing” was definitely not a hit. It never got a lot of exposure. But this list is not about that. It is about greatness. There are so many things to love about this song. The raw-ness with which Buzzy expresses his heartbreak is as real as it gets. It is not just the lyrics—though the lyrics deliver.

The vocal performance is a bit reminiscent of Joe Cocker’s “You are so Beautiful”. The captured take is so impassioned that you can’t imagine a live performance or a cover ever matching it.

The musicianship in “The Love’s Still Growing” is experimental and captures the emotion of the song well. Great production. If you are a fan of the drums there is a lot here for you. If you like psychedelic music, you’ll love this. If you are a fan of songs about heartbreak, this one’s for you. Anyone who loves great rock music should give Buzzy Linhart a listen.

The Loves Still Growing Lyrics

And I’m so high
I can’t go on.
Oh but I
Can sing this song.

Because the love’s still growing.
And the love’s still growing.

Some folk say,
“That all hope is gone”
But today, the world is one.

Because the love’s still growing.
And the love’s still growing.

It’s time to say,
It’s time to know,
that “it’s O.K.”,
that some must go.
