Music That Speaks to Me, #5

[cakmpls]

In 1965--the year I graduated from high school--the Turtles released their cover of P.F. Sloan's "Let Me Be," which became a huge hit. The first time I heard it, I knew it was my anthem. It seemed I had spent my whole life trying to be me, mostly succeeding, but having to deal with the consequences

Oh. Oh, I always thought it was "eat your next door neighbor, but don't forget to say grace."

This song has come up in three different places in the last week.

Both sets of lyrics are powerful. I find 'Eve of Destruction' much more compelling, musically, though.
