Скачать или смотреть Love Is the Only Flag We Salute — 1967 Psychedelic Hippie Anti-War Anthem

“Love Is the Only Flag We Salute” is pure 1967 sunshine-acid folk-rock — a swirling, incense-drenched anti-war hymn lifted by sitar raga, Mellotron flutes, tablas, jangly 12-string guitar, and dreamy male-female harmonies floating like smoke over Golden Gate Park.

This song blends the Summer of Love sound with firm anti-war conviction: barefoot dancers, painted faces, bells on ankles, peace circles drawn in chalk, and the belief that love can out-sing any battlefield.
The tamboura drones, the rhythm sways in 7/4 like a human tide, and the final chorus blooms into a full communal chant — children’s voices, birds, laughter, and a warm drone dissolving into light.

A gentle but unbreakable protest song from the heart of 1967.
