The most beautiful harmonies ever! Thank you❤❤
How great is this song and that 12 string Rick.......I have no words for it.
Second to "Chimes of Freedom" as my favorite of the Byrds' covers of Dylan.
Lovely song what a cover ❤️🔥😎👍🏻
What a Composition.. I love the bass line on this track..
Carole Kaye.
@@howlinearl Of course..LOL!
@@howlinearl This was Chris Hillman on bass.
Ok folks, was it Hillman or Kaye? Regardless the sound of the bass is unique to say the least. I'm not so sure it's Kaye. Her tone was pretty incredible and this sounds more like a happy accident production-wise.
@@RipReed According to Wikipedia, the Wrecking Crew was hired to play on their first single "Mr. Tambourine Man"/"I Knew I'd Want You," but after that they were allowed to play their own instruments.
I've decided to have that played at my funeral
Me too! I decided that the first time I heard it.
I feel the same way...
Essa música é muito linda, magnífico dylan, excelente the byrds
Great.
The bass runs are in a space of there own.
tonal counterpoint
@@scotthjackson5651 That's interesting. What is tonal counterpoint?
@@zigzagproductions1988 tonal counterpoint means that you treat the different instruments/voices as autonomous melodies as long as they respect the underlying chords. The ultimate exponent of this practice is J.S. Bach, but you see it in varying degrees all over the place in pop music. In this song it's posible that that the Byrds were even aiming at a Bachian bass line. The bass doesn't just hit the main note in the chord (the standard practice in most musis), it has lots of melodic / scalar movement on 8th notes while also hitting to main notes of the underlying chord changes. It's a very Bachian bass line in fact.
@@scotthjackson5651 Thanks for your response. I was a drummer for a sixties South African band also playing 12 string Dylan/Byrds covers and I could never really understand why our bass player just kept hitting the main notes of the chords, so it finally falls in to place. Very enlightening. What do rock drummers know about music anyway. Take care.
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum
Struck by the sounds before the sun
I knew the night had gone
The morning breeze like a bugle blew
Against the drums of dawn
The ocean wild like an organ played
The seaweed wove and strands
The crashin' waves like cymbals clashed
Against the rocks and sands
The last of leaves fell from the trees
And clung to a new love's breast
The branches bare like a banjo monk
To the winds that listened the best
It's a Bob Dylan song (1963)

Notice McGuinn sang other parts besides the lead vocal along with the rest of the guys?
Gary Brandom Vietnam veteran. 😀✌️🤫👀❤️👏🤠🇺🇸
Like a Prayer
Gene bad to the bone
Dylan wrote this and shelved it.
McGuinn always sounded like Dylan on helium lol
Thomas Timlin Yeah, Tom Petty-Vibes
but he had the better voice
Written by Bob Dylan
Lovely song and a good version . Just a shame that Gene didn't do the lead vocals. He was a much better singer than McGuinn.
Not a universally held opinion. Both did fine.
Dylan stole it. no news there. but still magesterial. and shit.
How? Its his composition
He wrote and performed it in 63, this one is clearly an original Dylan song
From who?
Oh Bob - I just wanna pat you on your cute little head :P
Ugh... Rog should have thrown a 12 string solo in there somewhere.. I love this song so much.
