  1. "I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better" is a song by the Los Angeles #folkRock band #theByrds, first released in June 1965 on the #Bside of the band's second single, "All I Really Want to Do". Despite initially being released as a B-side, the song managed to chart in its own right in the U.S., just outside the Billboard Hot 100. It was also included on the Byrds' debut album, #MrTambourineMan and #TheByrdsGreatestHits. The song was written by band member #GeneClark.

  4. this is somewhat of a cult LP from 1974 - No Other by #GeneClark en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Other. Gene was one of the principle songwriters in The Byrds and afterwards went on to release solo albums. The production and ambition of it are outstanding and it still sounds superb 52 years later. This is the title track. youtu.be/7L7cAeZC-1o

  7. GENE CLARK
    White Light
    2023 Spain Ltd. Edition reissue

    A phenomenal note-perfect songwriting masterpiece for a fine Saturday afternoon.

    It baffles my mind that this album was only a commercial success in the Netherlands when it came out in ‘71.

    Sure.
    NOW it’s recognized as the stroke of genius that it is, but how could have people missed it back then?

    More than anything else, White Light shows that Clark was the true heartbeat of The Byrds.
    The lyrics are poetry, the music absolutely sublime. Incredible countrified melodies. Just amazing on all fronts.

    Listen to his take on “Tears Of Rage” and tell me his isn’t the best version.

    I dare you.

  18. 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 bein' here without you
    Words in my head keep repeating
    Things that you said when I was with you
    And I wonder, is it true?
    Do you feel the same way too?
    It's so hard bein' here without you
    Bein' here without you
