The Flares - I Found Out ('60s GARAGE)

Pennsylvania, 1965

[@catherineladd5300]

Conveys a youthful longing and melancholy. Great song.

[@davidrowbottom9234]

First time I've heard it. It's fantastic

[@eoj2495]

Very laid back and smooth - I like it!!!!

[@thomassmith8721]

This tune not only rolls along, it glides. Not the complexity of major hit, nor a major production, just pure garage and that is what works so well on this ditty.

[@beltdrive2053]

Excellent backbeat and lead guitar and the guys sang a catchy tune.

[@jerryweber1768]

Great songwriting.

[@steveriddle4458]

Great folk rock guitar riff and harmony.

[@TheOtoVac]

Kick- ass drumming. Love this song.

[@joegongora2200]

Great indeed, even though it's not too intense but stills sound great. Yet it Rocks in it's own way, not all songs were very hard Rocking. Yet they still defined the 60's.

[@meinholundermann]

brilliant!!

This track along with Forever, (either a separate #45 single, or the flip side are wonderful examples of mid-60s garage rock. I recall bands from the Washington D.C. area where I grew up who charted on local top 40 rock stations: The Hangmen, The Fallen angels, The English Setters etc whose sound was a bit raw, upbeat: the band doing their best, and why not! God bless all of them. and

[@hugbug4408]

Wre these top 40 rock stations that played the top 40 hits, or was the station more of an underground type, early psych station?
By the way , awsome tune by the Flares . 1966 was it, which was a great year of some good early psych, or more mid-60s psych.

[@starcloud4959]

WPGC played some underground psych between the cracks of night time.mainly commercial but everything they played was great ; 60's early 70's.and some George Carlin's comedy lived on Newark st.NW DC.Great place!Great times!

[@rockinblue978]

[@francescaa8331]

[@berndjenter4005]

You have good taste girl

[@willieboy3011]

Heading for the Shindig.

[@thomassmith5860]

great early American rock and roll sounds like the song writing style of Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart

[@francescaa8331]

Yes, does remind me of Boyce and Hart.

The Flares - I Found Out - Lyrics
I found out in time
That your not mine
Why should I love you
When you don't want me to
I realize
Your not mine
I found out in time
That your not mine
Why should I hold you
When it's too late to
You knew
All the time
I hear them say hold on
How can I go on
I guess it's over and done
I never was the one
I found out in time
That your not mine
Why should I love you
When you don't want me to
I realize
Your not mine
I hear them say hold on
How can I go on
I guess it's over and done
I never was the one
I found out in time
That your not mine
Why should I love you
When you don't want me to
I realize
Your not mine
I realize
Your not mine
I realize
Your not mine

[@joegongora2200]

Thanks for sharing the lyrics to this wonderful song. It's great to know what's the song talking about because it provides some type of perspective.

[@rickymurraymusic]

[@Baronrhubarbpostoffice]

[@hugbug4408]

What year does this hail from?

[@hugbug4408]

Where in Pa. Was this recorded?

[@charlotteaustin2078]

philly i reckon

[@YakmanOx]

Amazing sound, where in PA where they from?

[@tomvolz3760]

I looked up Landa Records and they were operated out of Philly, so probably somewhere in Eastern PA would be my guess.

[@hugbug4408]
