Celebrating the 1967 Summer of Love, this anthem encapsulates the spirit of peace and love that defined San Francisco during the hippie movement. The song invites listeners to join in this cultural revolution, symbolized by wearing flowers in their hair—a gesture reflecting openness and harmony with nature. It highlights a generational shift towards seeking deeper meanings and shared human connections, emphasized by phrases like "people in motion" and "a whole generation with a new explanation." Ultimately, the track not only promotes San Francisco as a physical destination but also as a metaphor for ideological transformation and communal unity in turbulent times.
San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers In Your Hair)
Lyrics
If you're going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you're going to San Francisco
You're gonna meet some gentle people there
For those who come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
In the streets of San Francisco
Gentle people with flowers in their hair
All across the nation
Such a strange vibration
People in motion
There's a whole generation
With a new explanation
People in motion
People in motion
For those who come to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
