Why

You keep saying no to her
Since she was a baby
You keep saying no to her
Not even maybe
Why?

You say it's a dead old world
Dull and unforgiving
I don't know where you live
But you're not living
Why?

Like The Byrds groundbreaking A-side single, Eight Miles High, it's B-side, Why, was a very heavy song for that time period, sharing with the hit side the fractured and inventive guitar sound of Roger McGuinn.  I can assure you these were both very unusual sounding songs when released in March 1966.

The high harmonies are courtesy of David Crosby, co-composer with McGuinn, who was ejected from the band two years later, going on to form the law firm of Crosby Stills & Nash, from which, years later, he was also ejected prior to the firm's final dissolution.
