The source video I used to create this one is here: https://youtu.be/BQiBq8YSTxc That was the best-quality upload of this music video that I could find online. I was not able to find one which features the beginning and ending of the music video. I have replaced the audio track with a high-quality, full-length one of the single, and this involved slowing down the footage, as it was running a bit too fast compared to the HQ audio track I am using. To accompany the beginning and ending of the track I have put up on screen two pictures of the single. I have also cropped the bottom edge of the video picture, just enough to clean it up. I have also adjusted the colours slightly, increasing the difference between the light and dark areas. I have also upscaled the resolution from 360p to 1080p, as this increases the bitrate, which slightly improves picture quality at all the different resolution settings the viewer can select, but please be aware that playing it at the 1080p setting is not going to make it look as good as a true 1080p video. I have also added optional subtitles for the lyrics. This song was written by Jimmy Webb. This track was produced by Johnny Rivers and Marc Gordon, and was released in 1967.

Presented below and as optional subtitles in the video is my own transcript of the lyrics, for which I have used the transcripts found on lyrics websites as a guide. Lyrics: "Up-Up And Away" - The 5th Dimension (Words and Music by Jimmy Webb) Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon? Would you like to glide in my beautiful balloon? We could float among the stars together, you and I For we can fly (We can fly) Up-up and away in my beautiful, my beautiful balloon The world's a nicer place in my beautiful balloon It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon We can sing a song and sail along the silver sky For we can fly (We can fly) Up-up and away in my beautiful, my beautiful balloon Suspended under the twilight canopy We'll search the clouds for a star to guide us If by some chance you find yourself loving me We'll find a cloud to hide us We'll keep the moon beside us Love is waiting there in my beautiful balloon Way up in the air, in my beautiful balloon If you'll hold my hand, we'll chase your dream across the sky For we can fly (We can fly) Up-up and away in my beautiful, my beautiful balloon Balloon Up-up and away (Up-up and away) Up-up and away
