Hey Mr Spaceman......it was a good time way back then.....yes, I still have the album... but not the one shown here rather it was a double album titled,  The Byrds  (Untitled)    .... the members of the group are standing, sitting, and leaning on a stairway of curve overlooking a snowy desert with monumental landscapes wearing the standard garb of the day.

Embodied the naive hope that somehow things would be "better" out there. I knew too many people who thought, and some who believed, this. None of them to my knowledge ever made it.

Definitely not their best.  And, I always thought that about this tune compared to their others.

Some time ago I heard a local band play this and it was the highlight of the evening. Also because of seeing a couple of "experienced ladies" doing a sort of hippie-like dance to it, looking like they'd returned to their youth, for a while.

Is this what happens when the Byrds stop singing Dylan?

I hope it wasn't this type of spaceman they wanted to be taken along by.

Ummmm, No.

Love the Space theme, but this is not good enough to be RP.

First song I ever learned to play on the guitar - an odd little tune, to be sure, but the Byrds ruled in my day.

This made me laugh out loud! RP could have played just about anything and it would sounded good compared to Space Oddity by N. Merchant. Great comment, thanks!

Yeah, I much prefer the older production. And I don't even mind the drum sound so much.
