shareMy favourite Monkees track
shareYeah, well-written song was good enough to be worthy of The Grateful Dead or The Byrds.
shareI love Mike Nesmith, but this song was not written by Nez. It's by the the same guy who wrote the minor hit "Wildfire", Michael Martin Murphy. They were friends back during the Monkees days, (per wiki).
And yes, I understand you did not claim it was written by Nez, but I had to point it out.

I didn't know MMM wrote it either. I just always assumed Nez wrote the song because it seems very much his style.
And BTW, Wildfire was not a "minor" hit; it went to #3 on the Hot 100, and is also one the most covered songs of all time. share
However, he DID write "Different Drum", which was a Top 20 hit for Linda Ronstadt and the Stone Poneys
