I see you, under there behind your hair everywhere
I see you
I see you, turned on eyes can’t tell lies, empathise
I see you
Warm sliding sun through the cave of your hair
Wind washing fields, kind of space living there
I see you
I know you, met before seventh floor, first world war
I know you
Who lives there, tell old fair I’m aware that she cares
Who lives there
Green specks bright spiralling out in the sky
Catch my mind, turn my head, have to look, don’t know why
Who lives there
We thought talked
For a while they just smile just a silent thought talk
I see you, sun is there behind your hair everywhere
I see you, I see you
You know this song had to be good if YES covered it ....actually it sounds like YES would have done it originally ....it really is
a typical YES song !! ...
.... thank God for The Byrds ...& the bees
every time and I mean every time I hear this beautiful gem of a tune I think Of a beautiful beautiful beautiful woman with red firey long hair just as sweet as she can be well peace everybody.
Seemingly atonal guitar solos are always interesting. This one reminds me of “I heard her call my name” by velvet underground, yet it predates it. Possibly an inspiration to Stirling? Who knows.
first time hearing this, I decided at long last to check out the original versions of songs Yes had covered. (ie No Opportunity by Richie Havens and Everdays by Buffalo Springfield. I'm already familiar with the original Every Little thing and America, though those two I had first heard via Yes.)
The music of the Psychedelic 60s era, dancing at the Fillmore, freaking out with all those hippy chick.
We were all stoned out of our minds.
(7th floor. first World War.) I know you?
Byrds were way ahead of the pack on this. Post-Gene Clark and sipping from a kind of folk/garage-punk/acid rock/Coltrane brew. And yet, it seems somehow timeless, standing up well, even over 50 years later!! Great vocal mix from McGuinn and Crosby, manic atonal guitar (before anyone had even heard of Velvet Underground), and GREAT drumming from Mike Clarke....
