It is stylistically similar to his earlier folk protest songs and features Dylan's voice with an acoustic guitar accompaniment . However, its lyrics--in particular the refrain "Ah, but I was so much older then / I'm younger than that now"--have been interpreted as a rejection of Dylan's earlier personal and political idealism, illustrating his growing disillusionment with the 1960s' folk protest movement with which he was associated, and his desire to move in a new direction . Although Dylan wrote the song in 1964, he did not perform it live until 1988 . </P> <P> "My Back Pages" has been covered by artists as diverse as Keith Jarrett, the Byrds, the Ramones, the Nice, Steve Earle, and the Hollies . The Byrds' version, initially released on their 1967 album Younger Than Yesterday, was also issued as a single in 1967 and proved to be the band's last Top 40 hit in the U.S. </P>
