Music video by The Byrds performing I Knew I'd Want You (Audio). Originally released 1965. All rights reserved by Columbia Records, a division of Sony Music Entertainment.
The backing is by The Wrecking Crew: "I Knew I'd Want You" was recorded on January 20, 1965, at the same session that produced "Mr. Tambourine Man." As with that song, 12-string guitarist Roger McGuinn was the only member of the Byrds to play his instrument on the song. The other musicians credited are members of the Wrecking Crew, including Larry Knechtel (bass guitar), Leon Russell (electric piano), Hal Blaine (drums), and Jerry Cole (guitar). [Wiki]
Hearing this song takes me back to the sixth grade when I would help my friend Johnny deliver newspapers at 5am and I would afterwards come home and listen to this album as though it was a good friend. Such sweet memories of those innocent times..
A hidden gem. Recorded during the same session as "Mr. Tambourine Man", accompanied by the Wrecking Crew in late Jan 1965. Kudos also to producer Terry Melcher.
The Harmonies are Just about as Perfect as you'll find on ANY Pop song. David Crosby, Gene Clark, & Jim McGuinn's voice's simply meld into the Sublime Ether of your Mind.
I'd like to love you , with all of my heart You've had me on your trip, right from the start And when you looked at me, with love in your eyes I knew I'd want you, oh yeah I'd like to hold you, if you want me to I've found something new girl, just by looking at you And it's in your smile, and it's in the way I knew I'd want you, oh yeah I meet so many people, I feel I don't know But I felt so close to you, when you said hello I'd like to love you, and together we'd find The place we've been looking for, we'll have peace of mind There we'll be happy, and there I'll know why I knew I'd want you, oh yeah
Gene Clarks strong voice, McGuinn's stellar 12-string playing, and David Crosbey's pristine high harmonies set a lofty standard. Plus, they loved folk music.
This is the B side of Mr. Tambourine Man and the track was played by the Wrecking Crew (obviously) with McGuinn on 12-string. The Byrds sang it and played on the rest of the first album.
I love The Byrds I love this song it reminds me of puppy love in the 60s going to the record hop on Friday night in Plattsburgh New York 1969 Plattsburgh Air Force Base the old base.

I love the Moody Blues as much as the next guy, but Justin Hayward totally ripped this song off when he wrote “Nights in White Satin.” How he avoided litigation is beyond me.
Another killer song by The Byrds. Exquisite harmonies.
Another beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Gene Clark song; done as only the Byrds could do it.
Actually, the Wrecking Crew did this with Roger.

Wasn’t the Byrds. Just the WC. Leon Russell on keys
Tiene el sello armónico del inconfundible e inigualable David Crosby.

Such sweet memories of those innocent times..
Thanks for sharing this. Peace to all.
My favorite by The Byrds...Gene Clark...what a gifted artist; very sensitive.
I wish he’d believed it.
A STADIUM ROCK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HE WAS HAPPY NOT BEING A ROCK AND ROLL STAR.@@moonbeamchaos

Another master piece by the best if not the best next to it.the byrds made some of the finest music ever.👍🇨🇦😉
I'd like to love you , with all of my heart
You've had me on your trip, right from the start
And when you looked at me, with love in your eyes
I knew I'd want you, oh yeah
I'd like to hold you, if you want me to
I've found something new girl, just by looking at you
And it's in your smile, and it's in the way
I knew I'd want you, oh yeah
I meet so many people, I feel I don't know
But I felt so close to you, when you said hello
I'd like to love you, and together we'd find
The place we've been looking for, we'll have peace of mind
There we'll be happy, and there I'll know why
I knew I'd want you, oh yeah

Beautiful !
Gene Clarks strong voice, McGuinn's stellar 12-string playing, and David Crosbey's pristine high harmonies set a lofty standard. Plus, they loved folk music.
Gene Clark had a beautiful soul
Coolest band ever
Had this on a 45 when I was a kid in the sixties. What a beautiful song and so “Byrds” with that electric twelve string.
Flip (B) side of Mr. Tambourine Man
I actually preferred it to the A side... despite the A side being their first no.1 in both sides of the pond...
Gene Clark should have never left the Byrds
Gene Clark Genius song writer. This a unearthly beuitiful song and one of my Byrds favorites
The electric piano (from Leon Russell!) is actually audible in this mix!
Great song rarely heard.
A perfect example of how you don't need to do too much to a great song. Just sing it.
How good where melodies at the time... majestic !
This is the B side of Mr. Tambourine Man and the track was played by the Wrecking Crew (obviously) with McGuinn on 12-string. The Byrds sang it and played on the rest of the first album.
And I was 13 when I first heard this song, the lyrics are especially meaningful.
Hauntingly beautiful song, adore The Byrds, them at their best..
Agreed 💯%
I always loved this song, melodious and nostalgic
I love The Byrds I love this song it reminds me of puppy love in the 60s going to the record hop on Friday night in Plattsburgh New York 1969 Plattsburgh Air Force Base the old base.
Been years since I've been through Plattsburgh beautiful area, knew a fella down here in Memphis Glenn Fountain from Plattsburgh good dude ✌️🎉☀️🤘🎸
40 años buscando esta canción.
Beautiful song ❤️🔥🙂
beautifull song
Would there have been a "Nights in White Satin" without this song first?
Side B of first single of The Byrds. Hal Blaine in drums. Side A: Mr. Tambourine Man.
Great song from one of my favorite bands!
Not heard for years. Must add to my Byrds collection.
Me encanta esa canción 😍😙😘
dafuq... im usually not touched by such songs but this one got me
Everything Gene ever did gets to me.
I'd like to love you, with all of my heart
You've had me on your trip, right from the start
And when you looked at me, with love in your eyes
I knew I'd want you, oh yeah
I'd like to hold you, if you want me to
I've found something new girl, just by looking at you
And it's in your smile, and it's in the way
I meet so many people, I feel I don't know
But I felt so close to you, when you said hello
I'd like to love you, and together we'd find
The place we've been looking for, we'll have peace of mind
And there we'll be happy, and there I'll know why
Thier first album Mr. Tambourine Man was simply their best imho 🤩 🎸
It's right up there. A truly great LP as good as anything by anybody.
So fine
The finished product 😃😃😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
beautiful
so reminds my of lost high school loves !!!
In my top 5 Byrd songs....
You ever notice the first riffs sound like Nights in White Satin?
Cover: Los Picapiedras ( Chile ) - Supe que te iba a querer ( 1967 ).
También vine por lo mismo! ✌️🎶
R. I. P DAVID CROSBY
flip side of tambourine man in UK
Sounds like the Moody blues song, he must have heard this
Something tells me they’d been listening to The Beatles.
A good argument to be made this album is better than any beatles album
jazz
I love the Moody Blues as much as the next guy, but Justin Hayward totally ripped this song off when he wrote “Nights in White Satin.” How he avoided litigation is beyond me.
Probably because a melodic similarity is NOT grounds for litigation. Think of the implications if it was ?
The photo taken Griffith Park, Los Angeles
Two misses ,should have gotten a lot of air play , and was not in their greatest hits collection.
Check out the cover by Thin White Rope !
I thought they'll start singing "Nights In White Satin" once it started. 😀 WTH??
1965.... NiWS is1967
Mr. Larry Knechtel on the bass on this track.
Knights in White Satin rips this off big time.
days in white satin
menino arco-íris this is 2 years before
@@FenceThis yes, i was just pointing the similarities :)
menino arco-íris yep - they should've sued Moody Blues :-)
@@FenceThis glad they didn't, both are amazing bands ❤
Byrds 1965 - Moody Blues 1967 - any more questions?
the session players sound like they're going to The Lawrence Welk Show afterwards
Hal Blaine on drums.
i don't hear rogers voice at all in this song
I think it is just Gene Clark
David Crosby is harmonizing.
Thank God. Gene's songs should only feature him.
Excellent! :-D
