Hauntingly lovely. This song is exceptional in its wistful, gorgeous melodic structure. Terrific harmonies with the truncated harmony lyric by Crosby, wow. And McGuinn's amazing backwards guitar over the jangle. Should be required listening in any music appreciation class.
My mind cant shake the fact Younger than Yesterday is a mix of Revolver and Rubber soul and better than either, as an avid Beatles fan I hate to admit that .Incredible album and the delayed harmonies from 1:54 onwards are delicious and the best thing on the entire album
I noticed it the 1st time I heard it all. I can tell which songs come from other songs not just only by lyrics but by notes. The influences people had upon one another..
And yes The Times they were tried in court and actually lost the cases and had to pay out to artist for stealing their music or notes whatever it may have been. Those are the ones I never understood. You couldn't really hear it. These are so strong you would think that these would be the ones that people would have complained on.
It was nice in the 60's where everyone could share. The greed seemed to set in the minute the 70's started! Money and litigation for the past 50 plus years with no let up for the future. I don't even want to listen to music anymore! The sound of silence is the path to peace!
Obviously the Byrds derive heavily from the beatles, but it's ridiculous to say that the beatles were anything close to what they byrds were doing with the country infused rock music on this and other tracks on this album
Was this melody inspired by George Harrison or was Harrison inspired by it? Then, it's as if a "normal" mid- '60s Beatle-style song is trying to escape from an insane asylum where new, exciting but deranged, scary sounds live. It keeps desperately popping its head up out of a formerly unseen hole in its cage but is once again pulled back into the abyss. The deranged, scary sounds ultimately triumph and so do we all.
@@thomasrobinson182 Well, yes, of course, that happened, but I was commenting on the vocal melody of "Thoughts and Words" which sounds very Harissonish to me. I sorely miss this kind of invention and experimentation. Sometimes the Byrds equaled and even eclipsed the Beatles in this regard. Hearing this song again immediately takes me back to those days and how they felt. It was a remarkable time, I'm afraid never to come again.
Psychedelic ‘Rubber Soul’
And 'Help!'
2 and a half years later though
Way better than sgt pepper
@@youandwhosearmy6339 this was recorded in Autumn 1966
Rubber Soul is psychedelic too...
The Backwards Guitar by Roger is the most chilling thing on this!
I thought I was on top of it all.....everyone else was so small
Sing it brother .

I couldn't have put it better myself.
One more excellent Chris contribution.
A jewel the tune makes me cry.
You're never alone me too because its so beautiful to listen to.
Should have been a single. Brilliant backwards guitar from Mcguinn. (playing a Gretsch 6-string).
He played a 6 on Have you seen here face but this a 12
Love the angelic falsetto by Crosby near the end of this tune.
Bought the album when it came out.
This was one of the most intriguing songs.
Written by Mguinn and Hillman,who sang lead on it
Written by Hillman alone. The only song that McGuinn co-wrote with Hillman on this release was "So You Want to Be a Rock and Roll Star".

@@StillYHWHs interesting comment - which court cases?

The Byrds 2020, always cool...
Originally released 1967.
The best year for music !
First rate song from a fine album.
First taste of Psychedelia for the Byrds?
Probably 'I See You' by Mcguinn & Crosby. Off the 5D album.
Eight Miles High 1st Recorded Dec 1965
A very good tune.
so underated!
Love the byrds
What a album
Hauntingly beautiful song wow 🤩❤️🔥👌🏻

Chulada de canción. MÚSICA ácido-psicodelica exquisita.
Super Fantastic
Fantastic,this comment is bounced of my lovely wife's adress
Has anyone ever heard the version by French band Little Nemo?
Oui. J'aime bien Little Nemo ("New Flood", "You again", "Precious days", etc.).

You're probably thinking of 'If I Needed Someone' inspired by The Byrds' version of 'The Bells of Rhymney'.

Agree, similar to (think for yourself)
Blonde Redhead before Blonde Redhead.
Hi
😊hi
Robert Zimmerman owes a lot to The Byrds. They took songs from a guy who could barely sing or play and made them listenable.
Bob also owes a bunch to Hendrix for transforming "Watchtower" into a heavy metal template!
Bob doesn't owe the Byrds anything you nut
Ridiculous. Can say the same for Peter Paul Mary and Joan Baez. His songs made them great.
This is a Chris Hillman song
Someone doesn't understand Dylan and it shows. For starters, this isn't a Dylan song.
The verse is great, but the chorus is naff!
