The Byrds - Here Without You (Audio)

[@mr.dieinglysad3383]

Damn, these guys could harmonize like nobody’s business

[@ABDOSPIANO]

Gene Clark at his best! The spin he put on the Byrds was never matched after his departure!,

[@dippin1523]

thats for sure

[@victord6940]

They still did some great stuff, but his departure was the beggining of the end. The Byrds for me have great material, but I also have a strong nostalgia feeling missing what they could have done. They seemed a bit out of focus on later years and too troubled between the members.

[@PeterHuebner]

GENE CLARK HATTE EINE STIMME BEI DEN BYRDS DIE UNERREICHBAR WAR!EIN EIGENER SOUND!SIE WAREN DIE AMERIKANISCHEN BEATLES,DIE BYRDS!!❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊

[@thomasrobinson182]

He was really held back by the others. Perhaps you can get the record company to strip them off.

[@thomasrobinson182]

What a shame he was held back by the others. See if Columbia can strip away that dross.

[@fauxbro]

This was the Byrds at their most magical; a Gene Clark tune that rivals the Beatles or Dylan, McGuinn.s jangling Richenbacker guitars and Crosby's ever shifting harmony......2 and 1/2 minutes of perfection!

[@maureendevries1904]

A definite YES!

First heard this song in 1965 when I was13. Lyrics that still touch my heart.

[@CarrollDeanJones1931]

I almost shed tears once when listening to this song. Really, "Here Without You" is one of Gene's more emotional compositions.

[@PhukIT1865]

Just want to give kudos to Chris Hillman. One of the best bassists and one of the least recognized

[@cherixbiggs5819]

Chris was brilliant! He was lead of a country band called “Desert Rose Band” … look up One Step Forward; One Step Back”…. my grand passions life: Music and Dogs! Chris Hillman was sooo cool! ❤️😊

@@cherixbiggs5819… He’s STILL alive and making music! He had a late career resurgence with Tom Petty, about a year, year and a half before he passed away. (Tom, not Chris…)

[@cherixbiggs5819]

Dave Crosby's harmonies really shine on this one! It's one of my favorite songs e.v.e.r. If anybody ever went down the road of a broken heart through any kind of loss -- this song describes the pain.

[@TheAerovons]

This song always got to me. Its decades later and it still brings back the pain of losing someone.

Still a classic of sheer beauty even after nearly 60 years!

[@dippin1523]

one of the best songs ever

[@Glicksman1]

From the best songwriter in the Byrds and at that time. What a great song. A perfect, simple, tasteful arrangement that is likely mostly attributable to McGuinn who knew that a great song needs little embellishment. More great harmony from Crosby. Witness the invention of Folk-Rock.

[@lxx5045]

One of my fav Byrds song.perfection.

[@TheAerovons]

Geez I remember hearing this when the album came out and it was so haunting. Beautiful harmony. David's Gretsch is doing some great rhythm work out the right side.

[@renatomeneghelli1766]

a pearl in the music of magic sixties !

[@crystalballgazers]

There are almost no words to describe how this song makes me feel: magical lonely reflective longing nostalgic. Can’t really put my finger on it but I think it’s one of the most perfect and beautiful feeling songs I’ve ever heard in my life. 52 now. I have loved Thr Byrds since I was 12. Made me go out and buy a Rickenbacker 360/12!!!!!!

[@lenbolin1068]

One of the most beautiful and very best songs from one of the very best bands ever.

[@23igna]

Gene clark is the genius behind this masterpiece of a song

[@dippin1523]

Agree!

[@BalticFilms144]

Even if McGuinn called the early years of The Byrds a Beatles copy band, they had by far some of the best vocal harmonies that just can't compare to the Beatles. The sound is unmistakable.

[@DesrochersBob]

You are SO right. The melodies and harmonies intermingled and wove together like a tapestry!

[@MIKECNW]

Ah shut up they weren't a copy band!

[@skywatcher1972]

One of the Sweetest Rock tunes ever to have been. . . And one Tight Band!

[@bilklein]

Mostly session musicians, McGuinn was the only one to actually play an instrument on this album. That's just how the US music industry did things in the day, same with Beach Boys albums and many others.

[@dippin1523]

Thats not true. Only Mr Tamborine man.

[@joaquinlezcano2372]

@@bilklein That´s only on mr tambourine man

[@lynnglidewell7367]

Gene Clark was an especially gifted songwriter. Roger McGuinn made the 12 String Guitar magical sounding like no one else. David Crosby could out sing anyone on harmony. To bad David had such a volatile personality to be around for very long. Later Chris Hillman joined them writing ,singing, and playing. They were a multi talented band. Always going places other bands hadn't been. Been a fan since 1965. Still a fan in 2024.

[@fionanorris7761]

Me too

[@rjillidge3]

This song has taken on new meaning for me in dealing with the fact that fiancé is gone and she's never coming back but i know someday I will see her again

[@sonora108]

I loved this song when I was in Vietnam because I was always thinking about my fiance but after I'd only been there three months she dumped me. I still love this song even to this day.

Daytime just makes me feel lonely At night I can only dream about you Girl you're on my mind nearly all of the time It's so hard being here without you Words in my head keep repeating things that you said Wen I was with you And I wonder is it true do you feel the same way too It's so hard being here without you, being here without you Though I know it won't last I'll see you some day It seems as though that the day will come never But there's one thing I'll swear though you're far away I'll be thinking about you forever The streets that I walk on depress me The ones that were happy when I was with you Still with all the friends I know and with all the things I do It's so hard being here without you being here without you

Losing Clark was a big blow as he was their best songwriter. Firing Crosby wiped out their harmonies. All they had left after that was Mcguinn's Richenbacker, and that wasn't enough.

[@1FriendlyNeighbour]

What I don't understand, is why they didn't replace Crosby. There are so many people who harmonize, you would think that they would have found one? Maybe I'm missing something?

[@byronfortier6555]
