This song was first released as a single in 1972. A re-recorded version, with a faster arrangement, was included on the Boot Power album later that year.

Fan’s comments:

John van der Kiste - built cleverly around a couple of chord sequences, the laid-back boogie on this single was born again in a supercharged version on Boot Power later that same year.

OPEN UP (Ray Dorset)

When you’re feeling down, does the rain fall,

Heavy all around, flashing through the storm

Open Up your ears,

Open Up your eyes,

Open Up your mind,

Take your body by surprise, by surprise

Put your mind at ease, get out get in,

Yeah it’s all agreed

Open Up your ears,

Open Up your eyes,

Open Up your mind,

Take your body by surprise, by surprise

Think about today, not about the past,

Open Up your head,

Open Up your ears,

Open Up your eyes,

Open Up your mind,

Take your body by surprise, by surprise

Think about today, not about the past,

Open Up your head,

Yeah the thoughts come fast,

Open Up your ears,

Open Up your eyes,

Open Up your mind,

Take your body by surprise, by surprise
