Flying Up Through The Sky  performed by  The Oxfords  (1969)
Composed by DeMarco/Petach
From: USA
Mood: uplifting, breezy, carefree
Recommended by eftimihn [profile] on Friday 2nd July 2004

An underrated, forgotten gem of perfect sunshine pop. Why this is rather little known is completely beyond me, since the song just has it all: breezy, swirling, lush strings, tight rhythm section, sweeping french horns and great male/female vocal harmonies. It's an uplifting uptempo song, pretty much in the vein of the 5th Dimensions' "Up, Up and Away".

from Flying Up Through The Sky (Gear Fab GF168), available on CD

  17 Apr 07 ·artlongjr: This is gorgeous! Great title, too. I've never heard of this band before.
  24 Jun 09 ·Major Minor: YES! The Oxfords have three of my favorite Sunshine Pop tracks: Flying Up through the sky, My world and Lighter than air... all great sunshine pop... however be warned much of the rest of the album seems to my ears to be fairly awkward Blues rock attempts that just don't work to my ears.... but those three tracks are Sunshine Pop perfection!
