This performance is eloquent in its recital of biblical verse and tender understatement of the way that the world turns and life is lived, generation after generation.

RadioDAZZ, The Byrds And A Catchy Hymn From Scripture
The Byrds had an amazing, iconic Vietnam-era hit with this beautifully
melodic and gentle song with lyrics based upon the biblical scripture of
Ecclesiastes [actually put together by Pete Seeger, banjo-playin'
activist]. Roger McGwinn's signature twelve-string folksy-rock guitar
sound was a classic example of the folk style used by the New Seekers,
Paul Mauriat ("Love Is Blue"), Cyrkle ("Red Rubber Ball"), Peter And
Gordon, Chad And Jeremy, and a whole cluster of great music performed by
the Turtles ("Eleanor" and "You Know She'd Rather Be With Me" were two
of my favorite childhood songs) prior to their evolution (?) into Flo
and Eddie in later years. In fact, the incredibly musical Turtles played
alongside the late Frank Zappa and The Mothers Of Invention at the
Filmore West in a shockingly energetic and harmonious concert. I've got
the T- shirt somewhere...
