To every thing there is a season

[yiostheoy]

I could not easily decide whether to say this in the Music Section or in Philosophy.

But since it is so powerful I have put it here with the other most powerful ideas of Philosophy.

The American rock band The Byrds produced their version of this song in 1965 which was originally by The Limeliters in 1962.

It paraphrases the KJV of Ecclesiastes Chapter 3.

As I grow older in my life I have learned to appreciate this song more and more.

When I first heard it as a teen I was not overly impressed or moved.

Now it strikes me as the most powerful song I have ever heard.

Good song and good Bible verse. Thanks.

Actually the late Pete Seeger put that song together.

The distinctive trebly "chiming" sound in Roger McGuinn's guitar is the Rickenbacker '360', a 12-string electric made to look like a 6-string (six of the tuning pegs facing the rear). It would become a trademark sound of the Byrds' output.

The first musician to put it on a record, however, was George Harrison, who was given one of the first ones made by Rickenbacker, in February 1964 when the Beatles came to do the Ed Sullivan show. Later that same month he used the 360 for the lead guitar in Lennon's "You Can't Do That". McGuinn later picked one up and played his with more treble in the tone.

Thought the Doors did this, but guess not...

"Season Of The Witch"
by Donovan

When I look out my window
Many sights to see
And when I look in my window
So many different people to be
That it's strange
So strange

You got to pick up every stitch
You got to pick up every stitch
You got to pick up every stitch
Mmmm, must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch, yeah
Must be the season of the witch

When I look over my shoulder
What do you think I see?
Some other cat lookin' over
His shoulder at me
And he's strange
Sure is strange

You got to pick up every stitch
You got to pick up every stitch, yeah
Beatniks are out to make it rich
Oh no, must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch, yeah
Must be the season of the witch

You got to pick up every stitch
Two rabbits runnin' in the ditch
Beatniks out to make it rich
Oh no, must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch
When I go

When I look out my window
What do you think I see?
And when I look in my window
So many different people to be
It's strange
Sure is strange

You got to pick up every stitch
You got to pick up every stitch
Two rabbits runnin' in the ditch
Oh no, must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch, yeah
Must be the season of the witch
When I go
When I go
