1817 The Byrds - Turn! Turn! Turn! (to Everything There Is a Season)

From: Turn! Turn! Turn!; Year: 1965; Genre: Folk Rock

I heard this song whilst heading home tonight after yet another busy day and it seemed like a nice track to bring the day to a close. Ever since I first heard this song when I was very young I loved it, and I am actually surprised that I hadn't picked it yet.
As many probably know, or maybe not know, the lyrics of this song, which was originally recorded by Pete Seeger were almost entirely taken from The Bible's book of Ecclesiastes 3:1. From what I understand when The Byrds recorded their cover, which, of course became a huge hit, it actually gave the song the distinction of being the number 1 hit with the oldest lyrics.
Anyway, I could go on quite a bit longer about this one, but it's late. So, I'll catch you all tomorrow.
