Change is now, change is now
Things that seemed to be solid are not
All is now, all is now
The time that we have to live
Gather all that we can
Keep in harmony with love’s sweet plan
Truth is real, truth is real
That which is not real does not exist
In and out roundabout
Dance to the day when fear it is gone
Change is now, change is now
Things that seemed to be solid are not
In and out roundabout
Dance to the day when fear it is gone
Fear it is gone
Listen up people! The Notorious Byrds Brothers was the Byrds last great album. Anything put out after it wasn’t a Byrds album (with the exception of 1969’s Preflyte and 1973’s Byrds), as Sweetheart of the Rodeo was more of a Gram Parsons-led project with Chris Hillman’ older cousin Kevin Kelley playing drums, everything after was Roger McGuinn & Friends. The real Byrds will always be the original five (McGuinn, Hillman, David Crosby, Gene Clark and Michael Clarke) as well as being reduced to a quartet after Gene Clark’s March 1966 departure. The real Byrds ended with the departures of Crosby and Clarke during and after the sessions of Notorious.
this was my one and only Byrds album. I listened a lot to it in the hard times, when I had left home in my last high school year in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. My humble opinion.
