Ice, Yep...Based on Eccl. 3: 1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, 6 a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, 7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, 8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.
I asked myself what about the Byrds earlier songs like Tambourine Man and Turn, Turn, Turn are better in my mind than the rest of their work? I never could figure it out. The only other Byrds release that I enjoyed to any degree was Eight Miles High.
While I liked the other two songs I mentioned, quite a lot actually, there is something about Tambourine Man that makes me sit still with eyes closed and just listen.
Sherry, I didn't particularly for Mr Tambourine Man or Turn Turn Turn back in the 60s...Love them now...something about the way the instruments and voice blend make a nice...peaceful sound. I agree with you about the rest of their music though...maybe it was they always seemed to be losing/replacing members of the band.

turn turn turn - a Biblically inspired song, yes?
