  • sounds like the music they used to kill the aliens in MARS ATTACKS

  • LOL it sort of does. 

  • It's about a cow.

  • I heard about that. He mentioned it during a BBC performance in the 70's but said it may or may not have been true and for the audience to decide.

  • Hauntingly beautiful, lilting ballad that I have loved ever since I owned the recording on 8 track tape "back in the day", How rarely one hears the "western", Bakersfield-ish sound anymore. Who has the artistic courage to un-self-consciously yodel in a ballad today? Thanks, Mike Nesmith! And... thanks PJDooWop for this fine post!

  • Thanks for thre very thoughtful comment

  • fatboy was right

  • Forgot about this song! ThaNK YOU!

    No Lennon-McCartney, but can write good music!

    This song made the charts.

  • I had this 45. A beautiful song.

  • When I first heard this song, I was getting over a lost love. Nobody needed to explain to me what Michael was singing about. I knew. This song still has the power to bring out deeply felt emotions in me even though all of that happened 45 years ago. Many thanks, PJDooWop!

  • It is too bad Mike did not continue a Country / Rock string of tunes .... He could really write good music

  • @fatboy1958 Yes, TY fatboy1958!!!

  • @cultfilmfreakreviews ................Funny! But it is a very sweet old tune.

  • Another masterwork...

  • This song inspired the Eagles and the Flying Burrito Brothers among others.

  • What a great song writer and singer.His C&W songs are wonderful.He should've been a Nashville star !
