This series will include as many of my all-time
favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak). Now, each one included in each edition will
have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination,
but they will not be numbered. For I
just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others. So, this will not be a countdown, but if you
are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter. Besides, with no countdown, this could go on
forever and ever! Oh, and despite the
fact that there is absolutely no way your musical tastes could be as exquisite
as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make. For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by
nature.

Turn, Turn, Turn
The Byrds
To everything
Turn turn turn
There is a season
Turn turn turn
And a time to every purpose
Under Heaven
A time to be born
A time to die
A time to plant
A time to reap
A time to kill
A time to heal
A time to laugh
A time to weep
To everything
Turn turn turn
There is a season
Turn turn turn
And a time to every purpose
Under Heaven
A time to build up
A time to break down
A time to dance
A time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together
To everything
Turn turn turn
There is a season
Turn turn turn
And a time to every purpose
Under Heaven
A time of love
A time of hate
A time of war
A time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing
To everything
Turn turn turn
There is a season
Turn turn turn
And a time to every purpose
Under Heaven
A time to gain
A time to lose
A time to rend
A time to sew
A time for love
A time for hate
A time for peace
I swear it's not too late

Come Again
Damn Yankees
I was a loner
Cruisin' with the wind
I wasn't looking
When you pulled me in
I had to leave you
Like I always did
You knew damn well
I'd come again
Now I'm falling
Where I've never been
My resistance
Is wearing thin
Somewhere in the distance
Like a long lost friend
Whoa whoa whoa
Yeah yeah yeah
Lord
Here I come again
Yeah yeah
It's been so long since I've seen you girl
Swear I've been around the world
Every room is an empty space
In the darkness I see your face
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
When I finally get my hands on you
Tell you what I'm gonna do
Lay you down
Strip you bare
Make love to you 'til the morning comes around
I wasn't looking
When you pulled me in
Whoa whoa whoa
Yeah yeah yeah
Lord
Here I come again
Come again
Come again
I say Lord
I wasn't looking
When you pulled me in
Whoa whoa whoa
Yeah yeah yeah
Lord
Here I come again
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whao
I wasn't looking
When you pulled me in
Whoa whoa whoa
Yeah yeah yeah
Lord
Here I come again

DeleteLoved the Byrds. Was it McGuinn who had those cool, tiny, rectangular shades? and the 12-string guitar sound made them unique. Was I here?
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Mike!!! I am not sure about the shades, but it was definitely his 12-string licks that made such a resounding impression upon the music scene (even to this day).
