Association, The - Look At Me, Look At You Lyrics
Oh, it's a hard way down to the time I raised my hand
And I swore I'd gladly die for my God and Uncle Sam
There was so much I didn't know and what I knew I didn't understand
Look at me, look at me, where have I gone?
Where have I gone?
It's a bittersweet way to my debut as a man
I defied The Lord and ford in that eucalyptus stand
I was in deep, and sure, I loved her
We were friends in the high school band
And look at me, look at me, where have I gone?
Where have I gone?
Look at me in the mirror of the way I look at you
In the mirror of my words you'll find my fantasies are true
Remnants of a childhood dream, a nightmare or two
Look at me, I'll look at you
It's a hazy way to the time I finally saw
And it all came crashin' in on me, my God, my land, my law
And now I wonder as I look around if I'll make it through at all
Look at me, look at me, where have I gone?
Where have I gone?
And now I lie awake, and sometimes I find I'm lost
As I rummage through my whats and ifs, my profits and my costs
It's not the bridges burned that bother me, but the ones that are never crossed
Look at me, look at me, where have I gone?
Where have I gone?
Look at me in the mirror of the way I look at you
Whoa, in the mirror of my words you'll find my fantasies are true
All remnants of a childhood dream, a nightmare or two
Whoa-whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa-whoa
Look at me, I'll look at you
Whoa, look at me (Well, look at me), I'll look at you...

Association, The Look At Me, Look At You Comments
The Association should've broken up for good after this album came out in August 1969. Both Stop Your Motor (1971) and Waterbeds In Trinidad (1972) had their moments but neither were on par with any of their '60s stuff. Not to mention their bass player Brian Cole died from a heroin overdose in August 1972.
The tides of change were sweeping music throughout those headie days of the mid sixtees/early seventys and this album marked a change for the Association with its trimed back producshun. Thanks for posting this jem!
It ain't the Byrds, but this song is still better than that junk "Cherish".
Great song by Terry.Brian bass vocals superb as well as the tenors.
Simply one of the best tunes ever
I think this is my favorite Association album. Although I didn't get it till 1975, while i was still in college, it has remained a very favorite of mine. I had all of the previous albums but for some reason I had avoided getting this one for 4 or 5 years, till I broke down and bought it at WalMart. Man! was I surprised and overjoyed! Great songs! Absolutely great!
A living elegy, a confessional poem of the best quality, one which is autobiographically baring and contemporaneous with the tumult of 1960s America.
Great opening track to a magnificent album. Banjo here by Doug Dillard, I believe, even though Larry Ramos did play that instrument during his stint with the New Christy Minstrels. Vocals, as ever, sublime....
すさまじい名曲
Dans les faits, The Association est resté célèbre dans l'histoire de la musique pour avoir ouvert le festival pop de Monterey 1967. Formation brillante et très sous-estimée du moment, The Association est alors la réponse sunshine pop à la tendance acid rock de l'époque.

for the Nm era vets, it is a great tribute
just a favorite of mine-great lyrics and a little self-deprecating.
This was a groundbreaking album but sadly not a commercial success for the Association. They elected to break away from Bones Howe's lush production and go with a leaner, stripped down sound. John Boylan was the producer. The vocal arrangements still sound like Bob Alcivar's and the session players first rate. I was lucky enough to get to watch the vocal overdub sessions for this album that took place at Western 3 studios in Hollywood.
And HOW WAS THIS NOT A MOSTER HIT on an album full of great tunes?
When this album first came out I bought it - like I did anything The Association put out - and it stunned me! Now it's 2016 and I have it on CD. And it's still great.
Just reordered it to replace a lost copy. Next year, it will be 50 years old....and STILL a GEM!!!
Don Stoll says, "This is indeed my favorite of all the many great Association tunes, even considering their monster hits, and it's the piece d'resistance among the other, less known but still awesome, songs on the Stonehenge album. I rank "Look At Me Look At You" in the highest lyrical echelon with Ian Tyson's "Summer Wages" and Stan Rogers' "Mary Ellen Carter".
Describes the transition from the "innocent fifties" to the Vietnam and the sexual revolution..... an awful lot of upheaval....a song with words that describe the journey of many of us who lived through that period....
You wouldn't happen to have a video of "Reputation" from the "Insight Out" album, would you?
Reputation posted. Thanks for asking.
Domo arigatou gozaimashita!!!
