"Aquarius
/ Let The Sunshine In" is a medley of two songs written for
the 1967 musical Hair. The lyrics of this song were based on the
astrological belief that the world would soon be entering the 'Age
Of Aquarius', an age of love, light, and humanity, unlike the
current 'Age Of Pisces'. The exact circumstances for the change
are 'when the moon is in the seventh house, and Jupiter aligns
with Mars'. This change was presumed to occur at the end of the
20th century. However, astrologers differ extremely widely as to
when. Their proposed dates range from 2062 to 2680. "Aquarius /
Let The Sunshine In" climbed to no.1 in the United States and
Canada, no.2 in Germany, and no.3 in Australia. The recording won
both the Grammy Award 1970 for Record of the Year and Best Pop
Vocal Performance by a Group. |
