bgt54 is correct, the lyrics are actually a scripture passage, and the song constitutes a prayer. I recall this was released somewhere near the height of the VietNam war, when civil strife in America was near it's peak, and sentiment about the war was changing. Hence the stanza "...a time for peace, I swear it's not too late..." a reference to that war.
In the summer of 1965 as a music mad young lad I heard Mr Tambourine Man & Jim McGuinn's 12 string blew me away,this song takes it to a whole new level,my favourite band of all time.
The music of the mid 60’s up until the early 8o’s was the best. There was some music during the 90’s that kept the beat from those era’s but for the most part the music of those years is still popular today. It will never die because that music said something, it meant something, it still says something. That music was our lives, it still is. Don’t get me wrong but today’s music just doesn’t resound around our lives. Today’s music does have it’s good points but it’s not us, our being our lives.
You hear that beautiful guitar sound? That's a 12 string Rickenbacker guitar. They made it famous, so the factory send them over for free. Great song, huge hit in the Netherlands back than. Thanks, haven't heard it for a while. 😁👊❤️
This is another one of the most influential folk rock bands from the 60's. The Byrds covered a lot of Bob Dylan's songs. They had a lot of great hits such as "Mr. Tambourine Man", "Eight Miles High", "All I Really Want To Do", "I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better", "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere", "So You Want To Be A Rock 'n' Roll Star" etc. David Crosby (who passed away recently) was originally in this band before he became part of Crosby Stills & Nash.
I was 10 when this song was a big hit, and I mean BIG. You couldn't go anywhere near a radio (or the Ed Sullivan Show) without hearing this, or another Byrds song. They were one of the very best things that the British Invasion brought to popular music, and I took notice that the grown-ups loved this song as much as us kids. How could you not? You'd have to not only be deaf, but numb. Spectacular songwriting!!!
"Mr. Tambourine Man" is one of my most played Byrds tunes, I love their "Notorious Byrd Brothers" album, with tunes such as "Going Back" & "Natural Harmony"
Beautiful reaction, sweet Sarah. ❤ Welcome to the Byrds -- a legendary group with harmonies for the ages. I heartily encourage you to check out "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "Feel A Whole Lot Better." ✌️
The electirc 12 string guitar sond was inspired by George Harrison of the Beatles who used one in 1964 on, the year before the byrds came out. And in fact the Beatles were a big influence on every band that came after them. This 12 string sound was promient from about 1964 through 1967
You are a very lovely lady and I hope your channel does wonderful you have such a sweet heart. That song brought back memories when I was a child with my brothers dancing with our mom❤. 🇺🇸👍🏻👍🏼👍🏾👍🏿👍🏽👍🇺🇸

The Byrds had such a smooth, harmonic sound. One of my faves.
One of the greatest records of the 20th century , so glad you liked it
For me there's no better music than the 50s 60s and 70s. Love your channel and reactions to great music
I agree with you 100% the music nowadays is just trash and has no class.
Awesome choice Sarah! This was such a great song and still is. Always enjoy your reactions and grateful for your channel! 😊

My goodness, this takes me all the way back to High School! It was one of my favorites!

This Song is from 1965, a great time in popular music.
From one of the books in the Bible…Ecclesiastes

Great song, huge hit in the Netherlands back than.
Thanks, haven't heard it for a while. 😁👊❤️
@@willzimjohn absolutely right, but Roger Mcguinn made it even more popular.
If not worldwide, in the Netherlands fore sure.👊👍
Roger McGuinn and David Crosby were in the Byrds. They had a purpose for sure.
Written by the great Pete Seeger.
...with a little help from Ecclesiastes 3:1-8?
Lovely song. Have always loved it! 😊

The soundtrack of the 60s, ..harmony in our songs, and revolution in the streets.

Just a detail: The Byrds were 100% American. Not part of the British Invasion.
"Mr. Tambourine Man" is one of my most played Byrds tunes, I love their "Notorious Byrd Brothers" album, with tunes such as "Going Back" & "Natural Harmony"
The Byrds were The Beatles ' favorite American band.
Beautiful reaction, sweet Sarah. ❤

It can be a tearjerker
