"Pleasant Valley Sunday" is a song by #GerryGoffin and #CaroleKing, recorded and released by #theMonkees in the #summerOf1967. Inspired by their move to #WestOrangeNewJersey, and named after a street there, Goffin and King wrote the song about Goffin's dissatisfaction with life in the #suburbs. The Monkees' version differs somewhat from Goffin and King's demo, and their recording features a distinctive guitar intro played by #MichaelNesmith.

His name was Cezanne
And he lived in a meadow by a pond
He touched me for a moment
With an image that spoke to me of his sweet love

Then the painter that he was, drove him on with desperation
And I saw as he went, a most hopeless situation
For Cezanne and the man and the time
That made the paints run...
