Dave Clemo- My Back Pages

I remember hearing The Byrds’ version of this Bob Dylan song broadcast on one of the pirate radio stations in the mid-1960s. I was a Dylan fan but must admit I preferred the Byrds version of the song.
I don’t think I ever performed this song live more than a handful of times (if that) in the fifty years since I first heard it, so in a way it was a strange choice for me to include it in my ‘Songs from an Empty Room’ project back in 2016. I’ve already posted a couple of videos from the recording/filming session, so I won’t go into too much detail about it, except to say that most of the songs I recorded that afternoon look back to an earlier time, a time of youthful innocence, a time when we really thought we knew it all. As the song goes- ‘I was so much older then, I’m younger than that now.’
I found the words on the internet and sang the song a few times in the days leading up to the recording session. On the afternoon of recording, I sang a verse or two to get the sound levels right and once my son Chris was happy, he started the recording and switched the cameras on. I mixed the audio and created the video using Sony Vegas software. What you see and hear is the performance exactly as it happened with no edits or overdubs.
