_Laurie_ Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 My sister wants me to make a video of her 1966 senior year class that includes pics of classmates, teachers, the school, the town, etc... There are so many good 60's tunes...not sure what would be the right song for this video...it can be a 1966 song, or somewhere around that...any suggestions would be appreciated..thanks! ....Oh and she is a big Beatles fan too..I was thinking "In My Life" I made one for my class of '79...I used the wonder years theme "Help From My Friends" came out pretty good for my first attempt at making a video..I did one of my family too...this is fun!

edna Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 "In My Life" is one of my fave songs...it's from 1965 but I'm sure in 1966 they were loving it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad_M Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Laurie, Released in late 1965. Great music and lyrics and with a total track time of 3:49, it makes for a nice length video. Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is A Season) - The Byrds To everything (Turn, Turn, Turn) There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn) And a time to every purpose, under Heaven [Chorus] A time to be born, a time to die A time to plant, a time to reap A time to kill, a time to heal A time to laugh, a time to weep To everything (Turn, Turn, Turn) There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn) And a time to every purpose, under Heaven [Chorus] A time to build up, a time to break down A time to dance, a time to mourn A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together To everything (Turn, Turn, Turn) There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn) And a time to every purpose, under Heaven [Chorus] A time of love, a time of hate A time of war, a time of peace A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing (40 sec. Instrumental Break) To everything (Turn, Turn, Turn) There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn) And a time to every purpose, under Heaven [Chorus] A time to gain, a time to lose A time to rend, a time to sew A time for love, a time for hate A time for peace, I swear it's not too late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
