"Shapes of Things" is a song by the English rock group the Yardbirds. With its Eastern-sounding, feedback-laden guitar solo and anti-war/pro-environmental lyrics, several music writers have identified it as the first popular psychedelic rock song. It is built on musical elements contributed by several group members in three different recording studios in the US and was the first Yardbirds' composition to become a record chart hit. When it was released as a single on 25 February 1966, the song reached number three in the UK and number eleven in the US.

  • Shapes of Things est une chanson du groupe de rock britannique The Yardbirds sortie en single en février 1966. Avec son solo de guitare aux accents orientaux plein de feedback et le message écologique et pacifiste de ses paroles, elle constitue l'un des premiers exemples de rock psychédélique. Le groupe enregistre cette chanson au cours de plusieurs séances dans des studios américains. À sa sortie, Shapes of Things se classe no 3 des ventes au Royaume-Uni. Elle entre également dans le Top 10 aux États-Unis et au Canada. Par la suite, les Yardbirds l'interprètent fréquemment en concert. (fr)

  • Shapes of Things är en låt av The Yardbirds, skriven av gruppmedlemmarna Keith Relf, Paul Samwell-Smith, och Jim McCarty. Shapes of Things lanserades som singel i februari 1966. Den inkluderades aldrig på något av gruppens studioalbum, utan bara på senare samlingsalbum. I låten använder sig bandets dåvarande gitarrist Jeff Beck av mycket gitarrfeedback, vilket särskilt kan höras i låtens instrumentala mittsektion. Beck spelade två år senare in låten på nytt med sin nya musikgrupp Jeff Beck Group, och den togs med som första spår på hans debut-LP Truth. (sv)
