About The Song
The Dave Clark Five’s song “Because” is a popular and beloved song that was released in 1964. The song was originally the B-side to “Can’t You See That She’s Mine” in the United States. The song was written by Dave Clark, the lead vocalist of the band, and was not a cover or a Buddy Holly song as some have mistakenly believed. The song was a massive hit, reaching #3 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and #3 on the Canadian Singles Chart. The song’s melody was on par with many of the hits of the era. The song’s lyrics, penned by Clark, express love for someone while acknowledging the difficulties that they may face and reassuring them that he will be there to support them through those challenges.
