Not the Same Old Song - Part 40

 Turn, Turn, Turn

Turn, Turn Turn was written by Pete Seeger in 1959.  The lyrics are from the book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible, with the addition of the phrase "turn, turn, turn" and the closing line: "A time for peace, I swear it's not too late."

The song became a hit when it was released by the folk-rock group the Byrds in 1965, with its call for peace as the seemingly endless Vietnam war escalated.

My version uses the Byrds' recording, accompanied by my illustrations of the lyrics (a time to be born, a time to die, a time to plant, a time to reap ...) as well as my illustrations of the refrain "turn, turn turn" by showing guys turning.  See if you can count how many guys I show turning.
