"Eight Miles High" is a rock composition by the Byrds, created collaboratively by Gene Clark, Jim McGuinn, and David Crosby. Released as a single in March 1966, the song drew musical inspiration from sitar virtuoso Ravi Shankar and jazz saxophonist John Coltrane. It played a significant role in shaping psychedelia and raga rock as musical genres. Many music critics regard it as the first genuine psychedelic rock song and an important artifact of the counterculture movement.
