55 years later, I still come here once a week to play this song. I have the original 45 but I’m always with my phone so it’s much easier. I can tell you after 55 years. I still don’t know the meaning of the lyrics but it’s a beautiful beautiful song.❤

It's 1968, I'm 10 years old, this song has taken me back there....crying rn, for better times.
-
I am 74 and still adore this song; makes me tear up to reminisce over so many who have passed on from my life.......
-
One of the most underrated songs of all-time.
-
My cousin Jack McKenes was the singer in this band..best music ever
-
One of the great songs. Today's American culture will never produce anything like it.
-
"I look at your pretty face and I fall in love with you fall in love with you every time I see you, yeah." My Lord what a beautiful line.
-
It's amazing how certain songs can stay with you for decades!
-
I am 76 an was living outside of Boston in the late 60’s. This was one of my favorite songs! Dick Summer was the late night DJ on WBZ radio and promoted this local band.
-
This is one of those songs that doesn’t just bring back memories of the sixties. I can feel those memories as if they just happened.
-
This was my father Alan’s favorite song. He passed away recently and I listen to it just in case he can still hear it. ❤️

'68 was such a hard year-----------Vietnam---------RFK & MLK murdered -----------Nixon wins The White House--------and, that damn war ! ----------This song was one of the few good things I remember from that year. -----------Thank-you Bruce Arnold & all the guys from Orpheus . ----------MJL, 75 y/o

YEAH...I'm drawn back today! MEMORIES.... We miss you you Bruce..........

One of my favorite Groups of all time. In 1969 I saw them "live" in Worcester, Mass. while i was working there that year. I loved it and though I haven't heard them for many years. "Can't Find the Time" has stayed in my mind all these years. Great Song. Great Lyrics. Great Memories! Thank You YouTube for helping find Orpheus again!

As I turn 72 y/o tomorrow, I am wondering where--------oh where-------the years have gone?? I can still see me playing this 45 on my small stereo, so taken with it, I had to go tell all my friends. -------------WolfSky9

I love Worcester❤
-
My wedding song 44 years ago. My husband picked it out. I had a hard time coming up with the perfect song for us. Let me tell you this song was perfect so sexy and spoke volumes
-
See?? Worcester has indeed produced legendary songs!! (At least one, anyway....)
-
Wow, really feeling the love in all these nostalgic comments!! I'm 32 years old, and was disappointed at first to find that 99% of my favourite music was actually samples and covers. Then I started digging into those classics myself, and I guess this was one stop on the road to the meaning of 'timeless.'
