Why (The Byrds Song)
"Why" is a song by the American rock band the Byrds, written by David Crosby and Jim McGuinn and first released as the B-side of the band's " Eight Miles High" single in March 1966. The song was re-recorded in December 1966 and released for a second time as part of the band's '' Younger Than Yesterday'' album. Born from Crosby's fondness for the music of Ravi Shankar, the song was an attempt to assimilate traditional Indian music into a rock and pop format. However, rather than actually using Indian instruments on the song, the band instead used McGuinn's raga-flavored guitar playing to emulate the sound of the sitar.
