Written by Bob Dylan
Come gather round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth savin'
Then you better start swimming
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a changin
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
Keep your eyes open
The chance won't come again
Watch what you say
For the wheel's still in spin
And there ain't tellin' who that it's naming
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a changin
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he who gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
The battle outside raging
It'll rattle your windows
And shake down your walls
For the times they are a changin
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticise
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly aging
Get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a changin
The Byrds sono stati un gruppo musicale statunitense di grande importanza nella storia del folk rock. Attivi dal 1964 al 1973, hanno contribuito in modo significativo alla nascita e alla diffusione di questo genere musicale con il loro sound caratteristico, definito "jingle-jangle", basato sull'utilizzo pionieristico della chitarra Rickenbacker a 12 corde. Il gruppo ha raggiunto la notorietà internazionale grazie alla cover di Mr Tambourine Man di Bob Dylan, che divenne un successo planetario nel 1965. Tra i membri più noti si ricordano Roger McGuinn (chitarra e voce), David Crosby (voce e chitarra), Gene Clark (voce e chitarra) e Chris Hillman (basso). Oltre a Mr Tambourine Man, altri brani rappresentativi del loro repertorio sono Eight Miles High, Turn! Turn! Turn! e I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better. The Byrds hanno pubblicato diversi album di successo, tra cui Mr. Tambourine Man (1965), Turn! Turn! Turn! (1966) e Younger Than Yesterday (1967). Il loro impatto sulla musica è stato enorme, influenzando generazioni di artisti folk rock e country rock.
