This song is a bad example. The lyrics are by Bob Dylan, the music is by ghost musicians The Wrecking Crew. The song was engineered to be a hit and the Byrds just played a role
I was only 6 yrs old that year, but I remember seeing a stop sign near my home where someone had painted “Stop the War.” I was too young to understand. Thanks so much for serving.
What an epic masterpiece. It takes me back to when I was eight years old, riding my bike past our local drive-in. They had two old speakers hanging off the building, for those who chose to eat outside. That day, driving by that drive-in, they were blasting this song. It was the coolest thing I ever heard. It was 1967. I am sixty years old now, and when I hear this song it instantly takes me back to that summer day in 1967, riding on that bike. I feel eight years old again, not a care in the world.
that's a beautiful insight, i really feel your comment to a deep level. I can only imagine how impactful it must of felt to grow up during the cultural revolution in America, amazing! Cheers to you.
@@philipmartin2919 Yes, but that's just my opinion, as I'd mentioned before. Don't get me wrong, Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower is awesome too! That artist has mad talent for sure! Still my preference is Mr. Tambourine Man....I really love the Byrds unique sound. They are unmatched with their harmonies and instrumental blend... for my ears.
The Byrds covering "Mr Tambourine Man" not only firmly put Dylan on the map as one the most prolific songwriters of the 20th century but it also signified the birth of folk rock 🎸💖
Yeah, he was obviously welll known within the grinich village New York folk scene, but that scene was as good as it was very purist and not really inviting for anyone not into the politics or protest movement of the folk revival but bob Dylan was already starting to sort of spread his wings and was evolving past that more purist folk scene but this cover for sure put Dylan on the mainstream map and like you said really started an entirely new genre of folk rock which would eventually grow into that Southern California Lauren canyon scene which would end up seeing people like Joni Mitchell and the doors even and Neil young and buffalo and mommas and poppas 2:30 Springfield and Csny and later on people like Jackson Browne and the eagles. It’s crazy the type of domino effect certain songwriters or groups can have on an entire genre and the different styles and bands inspired by that which pop up. Black southern blues which due to racial discrimination didn’t get airtime or play in America but deeply resonated with the post world war 2 British isles which inspired the stones and the who and those bands were also able to take advantage of the success the Beatles had revolutionizing the entire music industry and then all those bands inspired other bands and so on
That's right.Dylan owes the Byrds a lot in terms of *commercial* success and the reverse is also true. Tambourine Man and My Back Pages were pivotal for both.
very sorry for your lose, i lost my sister also, and we will see them again if we stay good.This is - A great song that brings back my youth. Stay strong
One of my Top 10 All-time favorite songs I was a "Summer of Love" baby and the 60s have always been in my blood Protesting, the troop trains, flowers in their hair, Abby Hoffman. Man, I'm sorry I missed it-- sounds like such a fun time
@@jeffreyallen2232 Nah. As a kid in the 60s life was pretty grey and austere. The music was good but radios and record players were pretty dismal compared to audio equipment today so you may not have appreciated the songs the same way you do today.
@@keivebeats No, but I have a good memory and recall the crappy little record players and 8 track cassettes we had back then. When I got my first (cheap) record player in the early 80's I noticed things in songs that I hadn't before and realised how bad the equipment was in the 60s and 70s.
I love how music has the power to do such that.. people gather by the hundereds...and thousands to laugh, sing dance and rejoice.all sharing the same common denominator.. the love of music... If only the melodic sounds would bring us together again during these uncertain, divided times. God 🙏 Bless
From when they first started in 1964 in California, I have worshiped the group 'THE BYRDS' and when I die, I want 'Mr Tambourine Man' played for me. As an 19-year-old on the 14 August 1965 I was lucky enough to attend their live performance at the Flamingo Club in London's West End - I was mesmerised, On 6 July 1968 I was fortunate to see them again in concert in the Roundhouse Camden London and have a poster from then. For my 60th Birthday Party at the Straand Hotel Vradal Norway my two super sons, presented me with a Vinyl LP of the Byrds with the cover signed personally by the entire group which hangs proudly on the wall in my office. I will treasure it for ever and remains one of my most valuable possessions.
I saw perhaps the last Byrds performance at Rainbow Farm in 1999. Only one original member (McGuinn?) but the sound was PERFECT. I was dancing to "Sounds of Freedom Flashing."
Beautiful music. I was born in Ireland in 1991, but I love old American music, this was the golden age of America, still great of course, but there was definitely something in the air then, I guess it was the Byrds!
I rated this magic moments of brilliance as my No 1 hit of all time. It did not go down well a lot of bands and vocalists that followed . I will not name them.
@@nancymurray4161 I don't think Glen is here, all evidence points to Jerry Cole, Larry Knechtel, Leon Russell (who is mixed out)and Big Hal and of course McGuinn pulling it all together
What a great song it is the essence of the late 60s, the opening riff is genius. It's sad they don't make music like this anymore, I was born too late.
l am now a young 75 and as a teen through the1960s I enjoyed the London club scene big time and all my pals thought The Byrds outstripped the likes of The Beatles and The Stones by miles! Hanging on the wall in my studio, in a place of honour since 1965 after I obtained it during my first visit to Arlington Virginia is an album cover containing a vinyl LP of Mr Tambourine Man signed by the entire group which I treasure to this day. When I met Mick Jagger in Mustique in 1988, as we both shared the same Italian architect Mario Spinella, when we built our villas on Mustique and St Vincent I showed him the signed LP which he would have bought at any price, but was not for sale and remains priceless to this day. At least then I got Mick to sing at my Norwegian wife's 40th Birthday party celebration's in January 1989 on Basils Bar in Mustique and Ringo Star and Barbara Bach turned up so a great party that finished at 8 am the following morning! I still listen to the Byrds at least 2 or 3 times a week. They were then and to this day remain the best Folk Rock group EVER!!!
Hey Mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm goin' to Hey Mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning, I'll come followin' you Take me for a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship All my senses have been stripped And my hands can't feel to grip And my toes too numb to step Wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin' I'm ready to go anywhere I'm ready for to fade On to my own parade cast your dancin' spell my way I promise to go under it Hey Mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm goin' to Hey Mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning, I'll come followin' you
I was 5 years old that year, this was a huge hit on the radio for good reason, but the Beatles came to America that year, so it was all Beatles for a couple years. Thanks.
I was 10 when this song came out. The first time I heard it was at a town youth center; my aunt worked there & I was helping her. The kids who went to the center were ages 13 to 17..so me being only 10..I was quite impressed. I developed a deep crush on a 13 year old boy that night. He was adorable. Of course he didn't look at me. I was only 10..so why would he look at me.?? LOL. But that night..the song Mr Tambourine Man was playing over & over again at the youth center. The kids loved it!! After that night, it seemed that I ran into that cute boy everywhere, and every time I heard Mr Tambourine Man..I thought of him. My crush went on for 4 years..but he NEVER seemed to notice me. And, I didn't even know his name. One day, when I was 14..my phone rang. It was a boy and he asked me if I wanted to meet him at the library..where all the teens went. I had no clue who he was..but I figured there was no harm in meeting a boy at the library..where so many people hung out. I was also curious to find out who wanted to meet me.. so I went. OMG!! It was the boy from the youth center who I had a crush on for the past 4 yrs. He told me that he had noticed me..but was waiting for me to grow up a bit..and I had. I had my first kiss that night & nearly fainted after fantasizing about kissing him for 4 yrs. We fell madly in love and we were together for the next 2 yrs. Mr Tambourine Man became our song. And then when I was 16 & he was 19..he was killed in a car accident..struck by a drunk driver. For 2 years, I sank into a deep dark depression; I only left my house to go to school. My parents were very worried. The song Mr Tambourine Man would make me collapse and sob. Terrible terrible terrible time!! Then..I met a teacher who told me that she went through something very similar when she was my age. She encouraged me to write about him..stories, poems, songs..and slowly I came back to live in the real world. He will always be the first sweet love of my life..but I'm 66 years old now..married with 3 children & 7 grandchildren. The song Mr Tambourine Man..now brings me back to happy times & I LOVE the feeling I get when I hear it. Sometimes life can be very sad..but we must go on..because there is happiness on the horizon..if we look to find it. Hey Mr Tambourine Man..play a song for me....................

Mr. Tambourine Man is one of the best covers in the history of music. To combine a philosophical composition with the existencial words of Dylan with the electric sound of The Beatles. A perfect feat. When Dylan heard this cover for the first time he took the decision to electrify his music. From this cover on music changed and Folk Rock was born. PD: (excuse my English) When Dylan heard thi

That Riff in the beginning just takes you somewhere! I feel like I’m poking into a past life when I hear this. Was a cover to Bob Dylan’s and I like The Byrds version better!
i had the album, lots of good songs with their sound, they had Dylan's Chimes of Freedom, like Mr Tambourine, it left off most of the verses, but they provided it to people who got their album to listen to and see that the song writer was Dylan and they could track down the whole song if desired.. Artists were in a struggle with the commercial system to be able to provide their fans and potential fans with songs that were more works of art and not just short commercial fun, and eventually the fans and artists won with the emergence FM radio to provide them with more inspiring creative and historically meaningful music, AM radio lost those listeners, their sponsors lost that market. It turned out to be a huge market.

The best adaptation of song by Bob Dylan.
The wrecking crew played the instruments on the studio recording, so the Byrds didn't have much to do with it creatively.
That's right.Dylan owes the Byrds a lot in terms of *commercial* success and the reverse is also true. Tambourine Man and My Back Pages were pivotal for both.

Then..I met a teacher who told me that she went through something very similar when she was my age. She encouraged me to write about him..stories, poems, songs..and slowly I came back to live in the real world. He will always be the first sweet love of my life..but I'm 66 years old now..married with 3 children & 7 grandchildren. The song Mr Tambourine Man..now brings me back to happy times & I LOVE the feeling I get when I hear it. Sometimes life can be very sad..but we must go on..because there is happiness on the horizon..if we look to find it. Hey Mr Tambourine Man..play a song for me....................
Dear lady. Your story has moved me to tears. A tender but at the same time tragic story. The good thing is that you and he had beautiful moments. Greetings from Mexico.
That is such an amazing story. Music can be so powerful, can't it?
@@davidbsrys5827 Thank you so much. The happiest time of my life became my saddest. But now, it's only sweet memories. Habla espanol tambien? Hablo un poco de espanol. Y me encanta hablar espanol.

@@budderkupp1282 Hola, qué tal. Qué gusto que hable español. Me siento muy contento que usted guste de mi país y que lo haya visitado en varias ocasiones. Ciertamente su experiencia fue muy particular tuvo momentos muy felices pero después tristes. Es un hecho sumamente interesan0te como es que una canción, lugar o incluso aromas nos hacen evocar ciertos eventos, lugares o sentimientos. Como en este caso esta maravillosa canción. Saludos
here to pay my respects farewell David Crosby RIP 🙏
How I love this kind of music... I am an old hippie! For 35 years I taught bankers and insurance people about fonds management and how to trade stocks. I was always wearing a suit and a tie! Now I'm 71 yo but my hair still rund down till to my ass! 😂
Thaks THE BYRDS for my youger days with this song.
Yes wasn't it great!!!
I love them since I was 7 years old
RIP David Crosby. Absolute genius.
This song never gets old
I'm not gonna cry now. This simply beautiful; I wanna bask in all its ageless glory!
My dad used to play this for me on his guitar as a lullaby. 💖
Im glad i was raised to like this type of wonderful music
Seit über 50 Jahren eins meiner Lieblingslieder Vielen Dank Byrds
Я тоже от них прибалдела
@@ЮліяГорбарчук ja , bis heute ganze 58 Jahre lang !
Rest in Peace, David Crosby.
Legendary. Rest in peace, David.
So so many memories are rushing back now.saw them on the ed sullivan show and that was it i was so hooked on the byrds.❤
Mr. Tambourine Man is one of the best covers in the history of music.
To combine a philosophical composition with the existencial words of Dylan with the electric sound of The Beatles. A perfect feat.
When Dylan heard this cover for the first time he took the decision to electrify his music.
From this cover on music changed and Folk Rock was born.
PD: (excuse my English)
When Dylan heard thi
Wonderful wonderful never forget
Nothing beats these harmonies!!
hello i love your comment , these guys were the best , then now and always lol Jane x long live the 60s era xx i was their ,, were you ??
Sehr schön.
Good recording of an epic Dylan song. The Byrd's got the music right!
[Chorus]
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm goin' to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning, I'll come followin' you
[Verse]
Take me for a trip upon your magic swirling ship
All my senses have been stripped
And my hands can't feel to grip
And my toes too numb to step
Wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin'
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Unto my own parade
Cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go under it
[Chorus]
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm goin' to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning, I'll come followin' you
life was great when this was in the charts
The only band who had the nuts to influnce The Beatles and Bob Dylan at the same time with its debut work.
Thank you for posting this great song I have loved for years!😁
Greatest record ever made in the history of music.
That Riff in the beginning just takes you somewhere! I feel like I’m poking into a past life when I hear this. Was a cover to Bob Dylan’s and I like The Byrds version better!
Me and my dad sung this back in the day...2021 i miss him so much he died of covid 2020
@@amandagavan3685 oh no
I am sorry to hear this.
DYLAN ..ALL THE WAY..❤
dylan lyrics....Plus the melodies from the byrds...máster piece...
chills every time those first chords strike! never fails....amazing
Same here
It's just a solid track altogether. The chords are so crisp. The harmony is perfect.
The best LP cover art,The best band,and The best song of the 1960's
bunny fish debatable
bunny fish you're in same drugs as they were in this song
The fadeout is still my favorite part of the song. The harmony always goes on repeat.
Every time I hear this brilliant song it takes me back to when I was 17 I'm 74 now such great times
I can't remember a song and a sound that blew me away like this one did, at that time. That Lesley with the delay like reverb, oh jezzis.
One of the greatest all-time folk rock songs by one of the greatest all-time folk rock bands. God bless all from Patrick
i had the album, lots of good songs with their sound, they had Dylan's Chimes of Freedom, like Mr Tambourine, it left off most of the verses, but they provided it to people who got their album to listen to and see that the song writer was Dylan and they could track down the whole song if desired.. Artists were in a struggle with the commercial system to be able to provide their fans and potential fans with songs that were more works of art and not just short commercial fun, and eventually the fans and artists won with the emergence FM radio to provide them with more inspiring creative and historically meaningful music, AM radio lost those listeners, their sponsors lost that market. It turned out to be a huge market.
Awesome song with feel good lyrics 🎉🎉
Sunny summer day in the suburbs and I'm listening to this song. What a perfect time and place for me to listen to this.
Che ricordi THE BYRDS......grandi.
