I think it's almost the point. It paints such a beautiful little picture of a perfect night out. The perspective of our character focuses in on the end of the night, it's done and over
@@robertnesfield6321 I dont understand what that means. A treasure for sure - he developed some strong singing & songwriting skills as well as instrumental skills becoming very talented, especially by the time he was in Manassas (who have a song called the treasure now that it comes to mind). What do you mean about "hidden" though? The songs he wrote had his credit on them. I once read that at the very beginning for songs like Mr Tambourine Man, they actually got session musicians to play the track due to the Byrds' relative incompetence on their instruments. It was just the Byrds vocals on the track so he could even be getting credit where its not due in some peoples view.
@@NowhereMan7 I wasn't their incompetence...it was a two song ....Aside and B side ....contract to start with and the company insisted on session men..apart from Roger on 12 string..after that they played on all the albums themselves......
[Chorus]I think that maybe I'm dreaming [Verse 1]I smell cinnamon and spices I hear music everywhere All around kaleidoscope of color [Verse 2]Maids pass gracefully in laughter Wine-colored flowers in their hair Last call from lands I've never been to [Verse 3]Suns flash on a sort of prism Bright jewels on the ladies flashing Eyes catch on a shiny prism [Verse 4]Hear ye the crying of the vendors Fruit for sale, wax candles for to burn Fires flare, soon it will be night fall
A mesmerizing song that takes one back to an incredible place in time. Eric Burden referenced this Byrds song's phrase, "I think that maybe I'm dreaming" in The Animals' song "Monterey", where he used it when vividly recalling his and The Animals' recent performance and experiences at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967, where the Byrds also played.
When the subject of whether the Byrds were/are as good as the Beatles and all that, this album and this recording in particular comes to my mind and the answer is a definite "F--k Yeah!".
here's one. Younger Than Yesterday was the best album ever by The Byrds and is just now coming to full appreciation. Takes 50+ years sometimes for things to click..Ed
Calling Younger Than Yesterday their best album is hardly a hot take. Its always been a popular opinion. Some rate Notorious a little higher, some rate 5D the best but most of the time, in music magazine polls and so - on its Younger that Yesterday at number one.
Except for perhaps one track (Mind Gardens), this was an astonishingly great album. It was too short by one or two tracks, one of which could have been It Happens Each Day. Columbia always shortchanged The Byrds albums by at least a song or two. One thing that blows me away is Chris Hillman's bass playing, such as here and on Everybody's Been Burned.

The bass on this is superb.....
He carries it. As always.
Put your headphones on and listen to the Hillmanator.
He was the hidden treasure in this band!

@@NowhereMan7 I was talking mainly about his bass playing. He really didn't develop into a songwriter until after GC left the band.

David Crosby's greatest masterpiece. In memoriam.
RIP David Crosby ❤️
The Byrds at the height of their powers.
The crystalline ringing of McGuinn's Ric at the start is absolutely breathtaking.
Keep in mind that McGuinn is mostly playing rhythm on the 12 for this track.
@@jimbickhart6809Crosby plays rhythm on this
THE BYRDS THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING XXX
Roger McGuinn on 12 string Rickenbacker and Chris Hillman on Bass Really stand out with this Band.
Great, great song. Crosby was lyricist like few others.
Such a perfectly crafted song. Great playing, beautiful harmonies - 1:52 of pure joy!
Great song
Beautiful psychedelic greatness ❤️🔥👌🏻😎
[Chorus]I think that maybe I'm dreaming
[Verse 1]I smell cinnamon and spices
I hear music everywhere
All around kaleidoscope of color
[Verse 2]Maids pass gracefully in laughter
Wine-colored flowers in their hair
Last call from lands I've never been to
[Verse 3]Suns flash on a sort of prism
Bright jewels on the ladies flashing
Eyes catch on a shiny prism
[Verse 4]Hear ye the crying of the vendors
Fruit for sale, wax candles for to burn
Fires flare, soon it will be night fall
Thank you

Crosby was a craftsman of words and a fine acoustic player.
I think that maybe this is my favorite Byrds song. A great album that jets me back to my youth of better days.
for me their best..so much complexity but catchy as hell!
Perfect song ! ------- the original 5 BYRDS forever !
Gene Clark had gone by the time this album was recorded.
The original 5 definitely have their place, But you can't discount Clarence White.
Compared to most music of its time, today this sounds rarified, special, somehow still "underground"
Listening here in the Philippines. Thank you TH-cam!
So short. So perfect. It takes me back to the Renaissance Fair in Marin.
Listen to that bass
The Byrds at their best!
Gary Usher's understanding of who the Byrds were and who they could be was pure magic. Oh yeah, All Those Songs.
Released in Feb '67 on the YTY album. Flip side of "My Back Pages" single in March.
@Cauliflower Yeah, TY, memory didn't serve me well.

New to this song. It reminds me of Crosby Stills and Nash. (Maybe that's because Crosby is playing!)
Crosby also co-wrote it with Roger
This would be such an awesome jam song!!!
perhaps the greatest bass line ever recorded
This was the flipside of My Back Pages 😎
Younger than ever more than younger than yesterday.
This was the flip side of "My Back Pages." I think I played this song more.
RIP David.
A truly wonderful song. Gene Clark wish you could be here.
Magical song helped by being short.
The album where Crosby steps out in brilliance and Chris Hillman stakes his claim as a great bassist.
here's one. Younger Than Yesterday was the best album ever by The Byrds and is just now coming to full appreciation. Takes 50+ years sometimes for things to click..Ed

Sweetheart of the Rodeo is their best album for me.
I feel the next 2 albums were / are just as great as "Yesterday"
Lets be honest, nothing can beat I See You or magnificent Eight Miles High.
Calm down folks, it’s not a bloody egg and spoon race
I love this song! ☮️
Byrds at their best.the base is fucking awsome.😂
The Byrds...🙏😇
very CSN&Y sounding !!!
True. I assume you know it is a David Crosby song...
their best song on this album.
Beatiful!!
Hillmans bass!
of things to come for Crosby.. very sounding like, .Crosby Stills and Nash

Columbia always shortchanged The Byrds albums by at least a song or two. One thing that blows me away is Chris Hillman's bass playing, such as here and on Everybody's Been Burned.
A great song by Crosby on "Younger than Yesterday" Who was responsible for leaving Crosby's brilliant "It happens each day" off that album?
Well the Byrds could do for an entire Album what the Strawberry Alarm Clock could do for only one song !
Maybe you didn't listen to the whole Strawberry Alarm Clock album.
💚
Sounds like U2's The Edge got his sound from this intro.
Hillman the best.
too short!
2long
I think I'm dreaming.
Video plays NOW ,not "after ad".
