"We May Never Pass This Way (Again)," Seals and Crofts
Dash Crofts (above in the video thumbnail), half of Seals and Crofts, died this past week at the age of 85 following complications from heart surgery. Jim Seals died in 2022. So it seems appropriate that my Music Video of the Week this week would be their September 1973 single "We May Never Pass This Way (Again)," a song about transcendence
Seals and Crofts wrote and sang songs about the mysticism of life as understood through their common adherence to the Baháʼí Faith, which emphasizes the spiritual unity of humanity, the oneness of God, and the underlying harmony of all major world religions. "We May Never Pass This Way (Again)" is an example of their Baháʼí beliefs. It embodies the Baháʼí teachin that life is seen as a preparation for a journey through many worlds of God, where the soul develops spiritual qualities.
The song reached number 21 on teh Billbaord pop chart but reached number two on both the American and Canadian adult-contemporary charts. This clip is a live performance of "We May Never Pass This Way (Again)" in the spring of 1974. Enjoy. RIP Dash Crofts.
