My grandfather was a farmer in the late 1890s and early 1900s and was very religious. He did everything by the "sign" that included when to plant or harvest. He also slaughtered our hogs or beef. According to the "sign" He taught me to watch the trees for signs of heavy or light nut productions predicting a bad or winter. Wish I had paid more attention to his teachings, but still remember many.

@@rangerswife2176 Thanks for your interest. We live in Eastern WV and it was a farming or orchard county for years but that has all changed due to the spread of new developments from the DC area. I grew up on a small farm with cows, sheep , hogs and chickens. My grandmother use to churn the milk to make butter and would take it in town with eggs to sell. We had a black family work for us with Uncle Dan helping Granddad with the farm chores and Aunt Hattie doing housework. Their young kids helped as well. They were paid and were given almost anything from the huge garden and anything we could spare from the meat house. Wish I had been more able to hear Granddad's prophecies before he died. I left home at 17 and joined the Air Force as I was tired of chasing cows and tossing hay bales and toting feed sacks.

[@NaturesInfiniteWELLth-fo6rs]

That book; which is what the word bible actually means; filled with a lot of stories written thousands of years ago by humans, through their consciousness thousands of years ago, ignorant of how creation really created Itself, does have some meaningful stories. Then there’s so much else showing a very distorted idea of life, fairytales essentially, with a myth-illogical ‘god’ who kills when people don’t follow ‘his’ way. Have you ever really thought about it? Used critical thinking skills? Or just accepted it at face value as I did for almost 50 years, believing with blind faith and being told if I didn’t I’d go to hell? King Akhenaten was just one of the first to believe in a one ‘god’ over many. It was the Sun. 🌞 Star Wars series and Wizard of Oz and so many other stories are much more relevant nowadays, with a lot more integrity. “Do not believe anything just because…” from the kalama sutta-by Gautama Buddha. Can be read in full online. I had the ‘bible’ verses read when I believed this stuff, at my sister’s funeral, after she ended her life; hanging herself from a tree in a cemetery a month before her 49th birthday in 2009.

This song helps me feel at peace during troubled times. It's the most accurate summation of life I can find, as the lyrics are all encompassing of the aspects of humanity and daily life. Everything changes and nothing is permanent except for change. There are positives and negatives, but experiencing them all is just part of being human, and it's comforting to feel connected to it all. At least, that's what I myself take from this song. Amazing tune.

Lost my dad (even before he died) to alcoholism. When I was 5 my mom left him for that reason. At 12 I lost my mom to cancer, and I thought "but I still have my dad..." He came home but late, my mom had already been buried and he left without saying goodbye, I had again, lost my dad. When I was 16 my dad died from cirrhosis, that day I decided to not have hard feelings towards my dad, and I cried because somehow I understood we lost the chance to get to know each other... Later in life, while going through one of the worst times of my life, I had a dream, in it my dad came to visit, and he gave me a hug... and I felt loved... I cry every time I remember. The next day I realized it was, FATHER'S DAY!!! Something I longed for... For a long time, God my Father sent to me, under the worst of circumstances and on a perfect day, Father's day. It is true, to everything... there is a season, I had longed for my earthly father's love, now I know, I was loved, my dad just was a prisoner of the alcoholism, I just have two wishes, for my dad even in his last breaths have asked for the Lord's forgiveness and for me to see him again in heaven to hug him again and tell him "dad I love you, Father thought me to love and He forgave me, so I forgive you, hug me again, like in father's day..."

@Barry Obama it must have made sense for the 13 people that gave his comment a thumbs up. I was born in 1978. In the 50's and 60's people preached the Word of God in mainstream music. This song is derived directly from Ecc. 3:1-8. What happened in music since The Beatles, The Byrds, and The Righteous Brothers is drugs. Music even became evil, with a darker sound. People started 'Running With the Devil', and giving a 'Shout At The Devil, on a 'Highway To Hell'. Music for the most part, was pure, until drugs walked in. But 'Love Walks In' in the person of Sammy Hagar, in the world of Van Halen. And where love exists, the devil is running in the opposite direction. After love walked in away from the Sunset Strip, Axl started 'Knocking On Heavens Door' in the midst of all the debauchery at the worst spot in the U.S.A. to begin a music career, the Sunset Strip, where David Lee Roth began 'Running With The Devil'. But "Love never fails"...1 Cor. 13: 8, even at the Sunset Strip.

I was in grade school in 1965. This is a phenominal song based on Ecclesiastes chapter 3. "Read the Bible, it's great for the soul."

[@corydorastube]

Really. Is the stuff in Genisis, Duetronomy and Leviticus about how to treat slaves great for the soul?

[@TheJakecakes]

​@@corydorastubeIt's a contentious and often very convenient book for the men who no doubt rewrote it under King James 1611. There is also wisdom and beauty in it. If nothing more, it a reference point of paramount relevance to understand the world we live in vile and beautiful.

[@jimbobo8193]

​@@corydorastube Deuteronomy is how it's spelled. It was Christians in America (Our FREE Country) Who opposed slavery. Jeremiah 17:9 says: "The heart is deceitfully wicked and beyond understanding." Our sinful hearts cause the evil in the world. (Everyone > Romans 3:23) We are all capable of sin. Slavery is sin. The banksters who control most governments are sinful. Abortion is MURDER! And liberals are illogical / without the ability to reason. Jesus came to pay for (atone) for our sins. He is God's answer to create the righteousness He requires for us to live with Him in eternity. (We can't attain this on our own) Why? Because the fallen human condition is at enmity with a holy Creator. His justice must be assuaged and Jesus is the only one (The God-Man) who can do that. You cannot understand these things unless God opens your eyes and draws you (John 6:44). Jesus is the only way (John 14:6, Acts 4:12 etc...) All religion is nonsense and man made. Only scripture (God's word) is the source of truth. When murder, theft, lying, and abuse disappears (all those who practice these things will be in Hell!), then God will have purged the sin nature from His chosen (elect), and we will dwell with Him forever. Again, we can't do this, only Jesus substitutionary death, His burial, and His resurrection accomplishes this task which for man is impossible. Ignore the world religions including Roman Catholicism! These are man made, works oriented methods that cannot change the human heart. Only God through Christ can do this! Your error is called oversimplification! Study the Bible and trust Christ!

[@jimbobo8193]

@@TheJakecakes Read my answer to Cory above. You are guilty of the error of oversimplification and reading text OUT of context. Study, and learn from people who are intelligent. Don't just mouth the ideas of ignorant unbelievers who don't understand the entire word of God.

[@TheJakecakes]

​@@jimbobo8193Your other reply is not showing. I am always willing to learn Sir and I am a firm believer in The Lord Savior Christ and that everything on this planet is divinely created good and evil everything with its opposite. Many mysteries we cannot understand which I would say the song addresses. Why a time for war? As believers it is difficult to understand this evil. Now if you cannot except that mortal men of great power and even some without, may use the Bible to sanction sinful action of others than I would say you are incredibly naive. I'm not mouthing anyone else's beliefs or words. I'm expressing my point of view at this moment in time. That is subject to change at any time as I continue to learn. Best wishes to you and yours.🙏

Yes they were good, very, very good.

As an 19-year-old on the 14 August 1965 I was lucky enough to attend their live performance at the Flamingo Club in London's West End - I was mesmerised, On 6 July 1968 I was fortunate to see them again in concert in the Roundhouse Camden London and have a poster from then shown below. For my 60th Birthday Party at the Straand Hotel Vradal Norway my two super sons, presented me with a Vinyl LP of the Byrds with the cover signed personally by the entire group which hangs proudly on the wall in my office. I will treasure it for ever and remains one of my most valuable possessions.

The greatest guitar solo of all time in my opinion. If you are a great guitarist, you shouldn’t have to show off in the solo to prove it. He’s great from the very first note, and the solo just proves it. This voice lead type of playing is just the most beautiful stuff ever he plays great the whole song, and then the solo just shows off how great what is playing the rest of the song is absolutely fantastic.

[@stevensnyder1133]

The lyrics are taken almost verbatim from the book of Ecclesiastes, as found in the King James Version (1611) of the Bible (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8), though the sequence of the words was rearranged for the song. Ecclesiastes is traditionally ascribed to King Solomon who would have written it in the 10th century BC, but believed by a significant group of biblical scholars to date much later, up to the third century BC.
