Lyrics unnecessary---the Byrds signature sound, vise-tight counterpoint, and hypnotic serial chords make this a real winner. Back then we called this sound *Boss*.
A duo called Blackburn and Snow recorded the song lyrics and all. I wish Crosby, Hillman and McGuinn would rectify a wrong and finish the song with vocals -- it should have been done by the Byrds.
Some tossers still say the Byrds never played on the early records....well you just KNOW this is the Byrds playing .......absolutely no mistake on that
It was only on the single Mr Tambourine Man (and its b side) they didnt play wasn't it? By Turn Turn Turn they were surely playing their own intruments.
I have loved this tune from the first time I heard it. One of my all time favorites by ANY band EVER. I wonder if Crosby still has the lyrics? Even now it would be great to have a version of this with vocals by Crosby, McGuinn & Hillman.
This instrumental has a haunting effect on me...I was unaware of it in the year I was 18, when it was recorded... which now has faded into the receding past as if I were viewing my youth, like Alice in Wonderland , through the wrong end of a telescope...

This must have found it's way into the mothers milk of guys like Peter Buck and Johnny Marr.
