This song was never on the Notorious Byrd Brothers album. In fact, this was David Crosby's reason for leaving the group during the recording of the album.
David Crosby did a softer acoustic demo of this song...I worked at a studio in Hollywood for a few years back then...he came in barefoot with a guitar straped across his back...and I set up 2 mic..one for him and one for his Martin, and he just did it! ^/^
Tom Robbins referred to this song as the only truly different love song ever written. And though it has often been rumored this song got Crosby kicked out of the Byrds, David and others in the band deny that. Apparently there were already problems and the band was dissolving anyway.
Point #1- Not true - Although the decision to keep this song off the Notorious LP may have played a minor role, it was the power struggle between McGuinn and Crosby that led to David's dispatch from the group.
Point #2- True (to a point) - Crosby certainly shone more brightly as a solo artist with CSN; but the Byrds moved on to pioneer the genre of Country-Rock which, despite the insulting lack of recognition from the industry today, ultimately shaped the future of the Country music genre.
This song is fucking beautiful.
