This was one of the first 'psychedelic' songs I had heard, and it had a big influence over me getting 'into' thn genre. The Brian Jonestown Massacre, in my opinion, is one of the main and best bands of the genre. They combine intelligent lyrics with amazing instrumentals and outstanding vocals - definitely a 'must' for any music lover out there, even if this genre isn't one of your favourites. But be warned: you may just come to find all other music pales in comparison to them once you've started listening to them properly.
The Brian Jonestown Massacre was formed in San Francisco in 1990. The band has had over 40 members since then (which I like, because it brings a lot of variety and diversity to their music - not just the same stuff over and over again - keepin' it fresh), but its driving force and main songwriter is Anton Newcombe. Other prominent members have includedi Matt Hollywood, Dean Taylor, Jeff Davies, Brian Glaze, and Joel Gion. Their sound is heavily influenced by the psychedelic sounds of the 1960s, but also carries influences from shoegaze, jangle pop, garage rock, and lo-fi sonorities.
Over its decade-long history, the band has undergone a large number of personnel changes. Multi-instrumentalist and main songwriter Anton Newcombe is the only member who has stayed with the Brian Jonestown Massacre since its beginning, when it was founded by Newcombe, tambourine player Joel Gion (who stayed with him the longest), and guitarist/bassist/vocalist Matt Hollywood. There are at least two dozen musicians who have been in the BJM at one point or another.

if i thought i knew the reason
why i've gone and fallen
in love with you
you're the one thing i believe in
and i know quite well
what i've got to do
first you say it's ok
then you say there's no way
then i'm making love to you!
you're the one thing i believe in
and know it's time cause i've
got to tell you
my love
is
like a flower
daisies
are
always free.
pulling out
the petals
i
wonder,
if you
love me?
