David Crosby's crowning achievement as a singer-songwriter. The chordal structure of the song is breathtaking as is Roger McGuinn's guitar solo. Croz also helped the Byrds immeasurably with his ear for harmony. RIP David
Crosby was scarier than Manson - when he ran out of crack and took his gun and crashed celebrity coke parties in the late 70's looking for drugs.............
As a very young boy I heard this...it changed my idea of music from The Beach Boys to something much deeper. It opened my mind about the pain of Life that was coming in the future...The Door that shuts just before you get to the Dream.
@@MrSonovox 👍 I remember the time and place I bought my copy. Friday night at a record shop at Walker Scott shopping mall, Escondido CA, rushed home and listened in the dark.
I heard it on there too. I already have this album but haven't played it in years so had pretty much forgotten about the song. It was a really good series too.
I TOTALLY agree!! David Crosby's voice is so uniquely beautiful and haunting and his writing is also underrated but this is one of his very best, along with The Lee shore and Guinnevere. (and a handful of others..)
Indeed he could. What set The Byrds aside from the rest were McGuinns' 12 string jangle and those angelic harmonies. And David Crosby, he WAS the harmonies.
RIP David Crosby. One of my downright favorite songs by one of my biggest heroes musically. I hope you are harmonizing with Gene Clark again wherever you are...
Love everything about this song. Dream-like soundscape, cool Rickenbacker guitar, haunting lyrics. I have this on a 45. I believe it was on the flip side of Have You Seen Her Face, another great song!
Lovely singing from Crosby on this song. It makes you wonder why he didn't take the lead vocals more often on Byrds songs. After he left late in 1967 the Byrds were never the same group afterwards. They should never have gone full blown into country rock in my view.
David Crosby was an under rated and under-used singer in both the Byrds and CSN. I think Stephen Stills was similar to McGuinn not using Crosby more.@@martinamanecke3622
funny you say that as I think he almost crashes and burns as he stumbles around trying to be jazzy but his timing is herky jerky and his technique is sophomoric...he finds it just in time for a nice outro as Crosby picks up the vocal Hillman's bass is the musical standout on this track
There is nothing out there that compares to this .Crosbys outstanding song and lyrics ChrisHillmans base and McGuinns guitarplaying.we will never experience something like that ever again.
David, I will raise a glass to you tonight. You were a seriously flawed man but you were an undeniably great musician. You join Gene Clark as an immortal.
Yes, Chris Hillman! Always great. This album was an amazing display of his playing. Renaissance Fair and So You Want To Be A Rock And Roll Star really stand out.
david crosby's increasingly experimental compositions eventually led mcguinn and chris hillman to kick him out, but this ravishing song was a landmark in the groups growing sophistication.
[Verse 1] Everybody has been burned before Everybody knows the pain Anyone in this place can tell you to your face Why you shouldn't try to love someone [Verse 2] Everybody knows it never works Everybody knows and me I know that door that shuts just before You get to the dream you see [Verse 3] I know all too well how to turn, how to run How to hide behind a bitter wall of blue But you die inside if you choose to hide So I guess instead I'll love you
On December 28th, 1985 the third channel of the Italian state-owned television celebrated the 90th anniversary of the first public movie screening with a film marathon called _La magnifica ossessione_ ( _Magnificent Obsession_ is an American movie by Douglas Sirk). The program's main title sequence was by Italian painter and filmmaker Mario Schifano (a very good friend of the Rolling Stones who dedicated a song to him) and this dreamy song by The Byrds was the music for it.
The Byrds were never the same after they sacked Crosby in October 1967. I tried getting into Sweetheart of the Rodeo, but was very dissapointed in it upon my first listen. I tried giving it another, but stopped at track five and just couldn't go any further. History cannot be changed, but I personally ignore everything released after Notorious.
David Crosby wrote this as a torch song in ca. 1963. There is a Byrds demo when they were working on this that sounds almost nothing like the finished song, so the other Byrds helped him immensely, particularly the guitar work.
One of their best tracks. Crosby was a master at fusing rock, folk and jazz but listen to Hillman's bass in this. It's probably even more inventive than other contemporaries from that period. McGuin's solo is haunting and Clark's drumming has a lovely sound. Gene was missed but I really wished this line up were able to do a few more albums. I can't listen to the stuff after Crosby left and they went country. It was a different band and didn't warrant the name The Byrds at all.
Crosby left because he felt that with three songwriters they should stop doing covers but instead Hillman and McGuinn decided to record Goin’ Back and Wasn’t Born to Follow and more Dylan songs. So the other two fired Crosby but a few years ago McGuinn admitted that Crosby was right, they were making Dylan and Carole King rich while the Byrds made very little money as pretty much a cover band.
I know everbody says the Crosby is a douche, but his talent is undeniable. The short change from minor to major key is brilliant! And that voice! Well.........................
Crosby’s voice is remarkable and superior to most of even his great peers. It’s just that unusual and resonant and musical.... I love David Crosby. Most artists are complex people but we don’t know him anyway. :) I am quite sure he has a very good heart.
Rob Hollander, four of the many Crosby duds: Triad, Mind Garden, Almost Cut My Hair, Morrison. JUDGE: Objection overruled. And I'll hold you in contempt if you waste anymore of the court's time!"
They did Gene Clark dirty... Thats all I can think about when I hear this track... "You're gonna blow it for yourself man" - Roger McGuinn to Gene... shout out to drifters sympathy pod cast for shining some light on The Byrds and the genesis of "selfish music" I highly recommend you check it out.
Best high harmony ever in rock. Losing record as a songwriter but this is one of his finest moments. Anyone doubting he should've moved on to a group called CSY check out Neil Young Archives (youtube) and listen to the very brief harmony he, in the moment, put on Neil's "Alabama". The ear and voice of genius.
"Losing record as a songwriter"; there's no evidence to assert that. Maybe you don't like his material, but many millions around the world do and there's no loss in that.
Is it my imagination or are there two bass tracks on this song? Sounds like there's a simple one on the side with the drums, and then a jazzy "lead" bass on the other. Or maybe I'm just hearing the low notes of the rhythm guitar...
Why the fuck did the remaining Byrds omit Triad from Notorious? Every bit as great a song as everybody's been burned, this band suffered a heavy loss when Croz was fired. But hey, people move on and David was viewing greener pastures...
Crosby's voice was awesome. Still is. I wonder if the guitar is slightly out of tune on purpose in this one? It's a 12 string and those are a pain to tune, but still
Great song. One of my favourite bands , the charlatans stole the opening lyrics to this song. If your gonna steal, might as well steal from the greats 👍
Despite all the laudatory comments for David Crosby below and notwithstanding the fact that this is probably his best song , I'll never forgive him for virtually destroying the greatest American group ever with his overweening ego and then almost destroying this fantastic album with the WORST "song" ever, "Mind Gardens." I've been jumping up for 56 years now right after "Thoughts & Words" begins Side II and then putting the needle down on "My Back Pages" just to avoid the absolutely execrable "Mind Gardens." Good riddance to Crosby!
Nobody flies like THE BYRDS!
Right on man
the Byrds recordings of this time were often of a higher fidelity than even the Beatles. This is an exquisite vocal recording.
David Crosby's crowning achievement as a singer-songwriter. The chordal structure of the song is breathtaking as is Roger McGuinn's guitar solo. Croz also helped the Byrds immeasurably with his ear for harmony. RIP David
Incredibly fitting and appropriate McGuinn solo, maybe his best. That song haunts me to this day.
Its the bond theme
Yeah, Dave killed it with this. His finest track and probably my favourite of all, be played at my funeral
One of his many masterpieces.
rip david. one of the most gorgeous vocals ever.
This song defines the psychedelic era. Beautiful.
Crosby was scarier than Manson - when he ran out of crack and took his gun and crashed celebrity coke parties in the late 70's looking for drugs.............
Maybe the greatest song Crosby ever wrote
Noone makes music like this anymore.sad.
Rest in peace, great David Crosby!
Atmospheric. Jazzy, bossa nova, a great, creative piece, still one of Crosby's best songs. Can't think of anybody else who does anything like this.
As a very young boy I heard this...it changed my idea of music from The Beach Boys to something much deeper. It opened my mind about the pain of Life that was coming in the future...The Door that shuts just before you get to the Dream.
You nailed it, pal! I remember buying the LP when it first appeared, and this was a standout among all the other gems.
@@MrSonovox 👍 I remember the time and place I bought my copy. Friday night at a record shop at Walker Scott shopping mall, Escondido CA, rushed home and listened in the dark.
@@chansonpapillon2391Brian Wilson wrote a lot of complex deep songs like I Just Wasn’t Made for These Times, Caroline No, In My Room
Hey Larry, bit late and maybe that's just true for me but "down down down" by buffalo Springfield reminds of this a lot.
Today we lost one of the greatest musicians to ever have lived. May you rest your weary head forever in the stars. Rip Croz
Thnx to the BBC R4's Psychedelic Spy for introducing me to this low-key classic. 💙
I heard it on there too. I already have this album but haven't played it in years so had pretty much forgotten about the song. It was a really good series too.
One of the best songs ever
"I know all too well, how to turn, how to run"...RIP David, thanks for this amazing song.
Byrds are so rare and unique .magic .
Stunningly beautiful. A Crosby masterpiece.

david was a good guy with strong progressive commitments. he will be missed. no nukes!!! miss you, david....
David Crosby could flat out sing
Indeed he could. What set The Byrds aside from the rest were McGuinns' 12 string jangle and those angelic harmonies. And David Crosby, he WAS the harmonies.
frederick Incredible voice... so underrated! What a gorgeous tone, and vibrato. And what a song!
Not only were byrds influenced by the Beatles the Beatles were influenced by the byrds
COULD key word here.
@@Ripley9425 and the Beach Boys.
I’ve never heard such exquisite arpeggiating chime guitars outside The Cocteau Twins and Matt Tomasi and Vini Reilly.
RIP David Crosby. One of my downright favorite songs by one of my biggest heroes musically. I hope you are harmonizing with Gene Clark again wherever you are...
Astonishing a tune so similar to the first CSN album was written in '63 or '64. One of the greats, from any era.
Spirit of the late sixties.
The Beatles. the Kinks.the Byrds . My three favourite bands.
and Buffalo Springfield
and the mothers of invention
Absolutely beautiful a great classic. And Chris Hillman's baseplaying. Awsome.
It's spelled bass.
My UK friend just recommended this as David Crosby's best, and it is FANTASTIC. WOW.
End of an era-Croz is gone!!! have been following him since 1965 since i was 15
Everybody, has haunted me since 66 it still does today aged 71, nothing better
Hillmans bass is just marvelous along side Crosbys vocals
Chris Hillmans bassplaying is magical.
Yes, outstanding!
love his voice, so easy, sweet, and right on the note
Love everything about this song. Dream-like soundscape, cool Rickenbacker guitar, haunting lyrics. I have this on a 45. I believe it was on the flip side of Have You Seen Her Face, another great song!
tripy sound
Such a gorgeous song ❤️🔥👌🏻🔥
amazing tune
Rip David Crosby , i’m not of your generation but your talent has reached me for sure
Lovely singing from Crosby on this song. It makes you wonder why he didn't take the lead vocals more often on Byrds songs. After he left late in 1967 the Byrds were never the same group afterwards. They should never have gone full blown into country rock in my view.
It could have been astounding if they stayed together and continued that direction. Crosby went forward.
agree, thanks@@namcat53
I am sure Roger M. kicked David out of the band because he knew that he would never be a singer like him.
David Crosby was an under rated and under-used singer in both the Byrds and CSN. I think Stephen Stills was similar to McGuinn not using Crosby more.@@martinamanecke3622
whole album it's just perfect!
One of my favorite tracks on this great album. A dark musical vibe. Love the vocals by Crosby.
It's Astonishing that this song isn't as revered and lauded as it deserves. It's remarkable. Each part is amazingly great.
Very true Claren, So mezmerising now as it was back then, Still got the vinyl to prove it
defiantly sounds like csn but pre curser. love it
Very similar to "Triad", also written by David Crosby and recorded by the Byrds during that period. Also recorded by Jefferson Airplane.
Simply WOW!
One of my many favorite songs by the Byrds.
Sadly nothing ever compares to this nowadays. The thrill is gone.
Great song . So emotional
Beautiful song -- definitely Crosby at his best -- but McGuinn's guitar break: Is there anything else like that anywhere?
funny you say that as I think he almost crashes and burns as he stumbles around trying to be jazzy but his timing is herky jerky and his technique is sophomoric...he finds it just in time for a nice outro as Crosby picks up the vocal Hillman's bass is the musical standout on this track
There is nothing out there that compares to this .Crosbys outstanding song and lyrics ChrisHillmans base and McGuinns guitarplaying.we will never experience something like that ever again.

A fantastic song.
This melody is absolutely touching. Your music and your voice will live forever, dear David Crosby. Rest In Peace. 💔😥
David, I will raise a glass to you tonight. You were a seriously flawed man but you were an undeniably great musician. You join Gene Clark as an immortal.
I wish we could bring out or isolate Chris Hillman's bass line because it's amazing.
Damn right, this is why I took up playing bass. Thanks Chris
It's pretty much panned hard right so that should help isolate it
You get the idea, not that hard to hear it either.
Yes, Chris Hillman! Always great. This album was an amazing display of his playing. Renaissance Fair and So You Want To Be A Rock And Roll Star really stand out.
too busy though
The song that defines the flower power era .
david crosby's increasingly experimental compositions eventually led mcguinn and chris hillman to kick him out, but this ravishing song was a landmark in the groups growing sophistication.
[Verse 1]
Everybody has been burned before
Everybody knows the pain
Anyone in this place can tell you to your face
Why you shouldn't try to love someone
[Verse 2]
Everybody knows it never works
Everybody knows and me
I know that door that shuts just before
You get to the dream you see
[Verse 3]
I know all too well how to turn, how to run
How to hide behind a bitter wall of blue
But you die inside if you choose to hide
So I guess instead I'll love you
Ever heard his solo album "If Only I Could Remember My Name"
A San Francisco community gem.

Try some of the live material from the Clarence White days. You might change your mind.
Your right, roger and 3 hired hands are not the Byrds- McGuinn kept the name for business reasons
Crosby left because he felt that with three songwriters they should stop doing covers but instead Hillman and McGuinn decided to record Goin’ Back and Wasn’t Born to Follow and more Dylan songs. So the other two fired Crosby but a few years ago McGuinn admitted that Crosby was right, they were making Dylan and Carole King rich while the Byrds made very little money as pretty much a cover band.
Correct it's spelled bass. My mistake
Not a big fan of Crosby, but this song is excellent.
Robert , please give "Almost Cut My Hair" a listen . Crosby's most heartfelt vocal.
great b side rip mr crosby

I give Crosby a lot of credit becase he flat out admits he was an a$$hole when he was in the Byrds.
Really I could care less about his personality people just don't like when people say what's on their minds ..
RIP David Crosby 😢
Heavy David Crosby influence. Sent me to "Almost Cut My Hair" but in a smoothed out fashion...
Roger McGuinns guitarsolo is iconic.
Linda
underrated af?
another teenager
Crosby just passed - I think a lot of people forget what he did before CSN
Who? They forgot? How could they forget?
Rob Hollander, four of the many Crosby duds: Triad, Mind Garden, Almost Cut My Hair, Morrison.
