I agree. As soon as I heard him say it. I thought is that in a song somewhere. If not it should be. It made me think I'm still alive to have my heart broken. And that's a good thing.
If you ever say "I love you" to someone, and really mean it, then you can never say "I don't love you anymore" because if you do then you never really did.
Graham Nash, you are one of a kind. Your music has carried me thru decades of things that made my soul bleed. I suspect your music carried you thru too. Thank you Graham Nash for being you and sharing you with us.
@@larry811 If you live long enough, you will probably see a monstrous face looking back at you from the mirror not too many years from now. Or are you already there?
@@Ourhouse1990 Already there. Did I mention reading Nash's auto bio and discovering that he's fkwitted. They should reunite and exchange the squalid thoughts of infirmity. Bond kinda-like. Re-bond I meant.
yep... thats how true love works... one is never past it...the special person can be gone for decades.... but that fire and yearning of love is just as bright as on day one... kinda gives a special meaning to ones life and days...
That man wrote a masterpiece with that song. I love Graham because he was didn't come out the other side of being a rockstar as some souless alien. He's just a great delightful guy.
I did not know about Graham Nash and Joni. I always liked the song, but this gives it more meaning. Joni Mitchell is a priceless treasure in music and art. No one can touch her.
so true but aren't they all from this time period real national treasures? Mitchell.. Carole King..Taylor... CSN&Y, Art & Paul, Dylan, Guthrie.. and so many other special musicians and artists with peace and togetherness in their lyrics....those were special times and music to be growing up in...
@@m.a.c.8366 Im with you on that... I turn 62 tomorrow, and pretty much hate everything that has to do with aging... but the music I listened to in the 60's/ 70's... well, Im very grateful to be turning 62 tomorrow!!!!
One of my favorite Graham Nash songs is "I Used to be a King," which is about his breakup with Joni Mitchell, or, more to the point, her breakup with him: ua-cam.com/video/J5A1P6zlmRs/v-deo.html
One of my favorite songs. Graham just sounds so peaceful and cozy and content. To have left the Hollies, left England for sunny California, left his wife who was cheating on him, and joined Croz and Stills in CSN, and to just be happy and content, was great for him at the time. Perfect lazy sunday afternoon song!
I read where he said "I got off the plane, looked around, saw a palm tree, felt the sunshine, and kissed the ground. I was home...... or something like that. After he got rich he moved to Hawaii. Don't know which island.
i remember that time very well. i had the girl, lost the girl, and it was the most wonderful time of my life. im not a songwriter, but i am a musician... never made it big. but i still play and the music you guys and gals created still lives in my heart as does the love of my life.
What a beautiful muse she was, is & always will be…… He still feels a deep love for Joni. How amazing she is, to inspire such a timeless & beautiful song. ❤️
Its beautiful the way he tells the story. You know he still feels the pain of breaking up with her, even after so many years. His off-the -cuff comment 'I still have a heart to break' is poignant. God bless his tenderness. (I just came back from visiting an old Grinch who lives in a world-of-one and has NO heart to break. brrrr... truly miserable.) Thanks for the post. Ive been singing it all day working in our garden. hahaha.. and thank you Mr Nash for writing it.
"Judy Blue Eyes" was about Steven Stills relationship with Judy Collins. Judy Collins is another superstar from the period when music had lyrics with meaning.
I absolutely love Graham because he is a very good man, a genuine artist, an incoditional friend, a gentleman with ideas an feelings that he has shared sucessfully with the world for decades. Since the first time I heard Our House I've loved it, and much more knowing where it came from. This video proves that the love of your life exists. It is not a "romanticoide" idea. Apart of all this, Graham helped me with just one line: "Someone is going to take my heart, but no one is going to break my heart again".I do thank you, master.
That song was the anthem to my married life. All we ever wanted was that blissfully simple lighting of the fire. We had it. For 44 years I put the flowers he'd buy me in the vase. The two cats in our yard grew to be two daughters, a couple of dogs and a horse or two. And as the last chorus of the song played out, I lost my George, too soon, to sudden. But still when I travel back in my mind, "our house" reminds me that once upon a time, I had it all.
That's a powerful and beautiful story, and makes me appreciate the song even more. I think Graham still has feelings for Joni ... he had tears in his eyes even after all these years. A wonderful few years together, and a lifetime of memories.
This guy is a story teller! Every story I listen to by him is worth the time spent! What a life. Of course he is going to write great lyrics. He tells great stories. I also picked up on the "I have a heart to break" line as well. There is a song there.
Stories like these really vindicate the "behind the song" show. It feels like the musicians are really happy to be able to share "beauty" with us all. Keep up the good work Top 2000 a gogo!
We all get teary eyed thinking about those days! However, both really were free spirits who lived incredible lives while mutually respecting each other. Well done !
Crosby, Stills and Nash seem to each have been heartbroken and that is what maybe gave them their inspiration to such great songs. David Crosby's girlfriend was killed tragically in a car accident, Stephen Stills wrote Suite Judy Blue Eyes about Judy Collins who still broke up with him and Graham Nash wrote Our House about his relationship with Joni Mitchell. Heartbreak but wonderful 3 part harmony.
I got to know this dear man in the 70's....but, I never knew the story of that song...you are so so good at doing these videos...what a great pleasure...thank you so much for doing this!
I was once a professional stagehand and I worked local crew , mostly. One show at our Civic Ctr in Oklahoma City, we did Crosby, Nash show I think. It's been back in the mid ninties. We were loading out , I was coiling a 4 o' cable a really big thick cable. I was sweating and in my own little world. When I felt this tap on my left shoulder, I noticed all the work had stopped it was quiet and everyone on stage was staring at me which is very unusual for load out. I turned around and BAM! It was none othe than Mr. Graham Nash! On his way out guitar case in hand. I said something like Hi sir, whats up? He said I just want to thank you for all the hard work your doing for me. I said your welcome. I want you to have this , he outstretched his hand I reciprocated and he dropped a gold plated machine head into my hand! I said I can't take this ,this may violate union rules he F---k that Its a gift. I said thank you very much and I said can I give you a hug? He yes. He left and everyone on stage ran over to me and said what was it ? I said this gold looking machine head. The guys looked at it and we went back to work. Mr. Nash is pure class! That is one of my treasures ! It's right next to my Stevie Ray Vaughn pick. Reminiscing about this story brought tears to my eyes so sorry for any misspellings.
I don't know if females have this thing.. but ALL men I have ever met have that "The one we lost" and my life has been all around musicians Perhaps musicians are just more romantic and cling to what could have been. and I do not see ONE post from females... Odd really.
First of all, let me say how much I truly love your series of stories about these important artists. Brilliant. I grew up as a young man near these foothills of Southern California, from Laurel Canyon to Topanga, and everywhere in between. I had often fantasized what wonderful things went on in the private recesses of those artistic little houses that curiously dotted the Hollywood Hills like the magic mushrooms I had once enjoyed. Thanks for the brief tour inside, and for the wonderful memories of my youth.
This song is my favorite, always been since I first heard it when I was 7. Reminds me of how my papa loves my ma very much and how our family is glued by their love, now that paps passed away, i know ma is broken hearted beyond my imagination but she always felt loved by him, always was and always have been.
I want to leave a comment here… the 1960s are a beautiful decade of music. Arguably (to some?) this song is one of many great songs from the period (there’s the whole shocking catalogue of Dylan’s work, the best Simon & Garfunkel produced, Hendrix, etc. etc.). All things considered though this apparently little song has such a special place - at least for me. It’s unassuming perfections, warmth and caring ‘domesticity’ of a kind (literally: Our House). It’s truly one of my favourites and I’m so glad it was written.
Never listen to this kind of music other than black music until my twin sister (we were about 14) started turning the radio on to Q99, K92, WFIR, country etc. And I'm glad she did. I enjoy music.
In November of 2021, I was at my Chiropractor, and I heard this song whilst i was waiting for my treatment. For the next three months, this song would be stuck in my head, day after day, after day. It's now Feb of 2022, Feb the 15th, and this song is still stuck in my head. It's been stuck in my head through bad days, and good days. I've been in the hospital, sick as a dog, and throughout my sleep, I'd hear this song in my dreams. Getting better, I'd still hear this song. Whilst performing Physical therapy in an underwater treadmill, It's played in my head. While I'm on my way to see my Dr. It's been stuck in my head. On my birthday, it was stuck in my head. AND NOW, whilst typing this, It is stuck in my head. SERIOUSLY!!! I LOVE THIS SONG!! I don't know why, but I seriously do!
I'm adding this to my Graham Nash playlist on UA-cam! I love this story behind this. This was my introduction to Graham and his music as a little girl at four years old, and then years later, I discovered Joni and her music, and she brought me back to Graham and his music in 2016, after CSN/CSNY split, and I discovered Laurel Canyon and I found out the true story. I have seen Graham in concert three times, and this Friday will be my 4th time! My parents bought me tickets for Christmas! He will be singing this song in his show! I have also met him twice, and he is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. Go see him if he comes your way. You will not be disappointed!
I remember an audio clip from all those years back where Joni is telling some interviewer that she and Graham were about to marry. She sounded like a bubbly young schoolgirl. MAN! The time - it goes right on - with us or without us.
I was 10 when it came out. My older brother left the record behind for me (thanks!) and I always loved this song. It felt so ordinary but loving, like what a life together should be like when you're in love.
Y'know, this the song that my (ex) wife and I rallied around during our marriage. Simple love. Quiet moments. We...after a long time....have become friends. This is still our big memory. It's beautiful to know that the song was really written about a quiet moment.
I currently work in giving English classes in Bogota. Yesterday, I gave lessons to an almost absolute 18-years-old Joni Mitchell look-like lady -just the color of the eyes are different. This colombian girl had never heard of Joni before. We could not believe how similar they are! She was totally surprised! And even more when I showed her this video. I think Graham is one of the best and most honest songwriters. I love this song, it means a lot to me. And knowing the background story makes me love it more and more. I bless you, Joni and Graham.
When you're in love that's one thing. But when you "Love" a person that love can not be let go by your will. It will be there for 50 years and will continue for 50 more. I learned that in my older years.
My very 1st Concert at age 12 was Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. I remember crying throughout it, because music that deeply beautiful, profoundly touched my little empathic heart, even at that very young age!
Of all the top 2000's, this is the best. My eyes were filled with tears listening to him. What beautiful lyrics. Can you think about how young you were when you heard that song? Now you know the rest of the story.
I always liked songs that paint a picture in your mind. This song certainly always did that for me. A comfortable song that leaves you feeling peaceful. It paints the picture of home for my husband and I (and our two cats).
Graham still gets emotional about his Joni. A warm hearted person he is
"but at least I have a heart to break" wow that's powerful right there
Zach only love can break your heart by Neil was about Graham and Joni 😢
Damn, what a lyric that could be.
I agree. As soon as I heard him say it. I thought is that in a song somewhere. If not it should be. It made me think I'm still alive to have my heart broken. And that's a good thing.
That might be the most touching phrase I ever heard uttered.👍💔
Sean Page
I’m going to look this song up.
And I’m already a huge Neil Young fan.
Thank you.👍
I think he's still in love with her and always has been
David DeMar I think you are correct ! You can see the love in his eyes !
Ditkasdawgs
He speaks about her with love and fondness, still so after all these years. He really touched me.
Absolutely just look at his face after he tells us how she dumped him
If you ever say "I love you" to someone, and really mean it, then you can never say "I don't love you anymore" because if you do then you never really did.
"Heart Breaking..but at least I have a heart to break" no greater words were ever spoken. Thank you for this.
Ouch!
Wow, that was very cutting but straight from graham's heart, 50 years ago and still hurt like hell....
Graham Nash, you are one of a kind. Your music has carried me thru decades of things that made my soul bleed. I suspect your music carried you thru too. Thank you Graham Nash for being you and sharing you with us.
Well she's nuts now and has a face only a mother could love.
@@larry811 If you live long enough, you will probably see a monstrous face looking back at you from the mirror not too many years from now. Or are you already there?

So long ago and he’s still so in love...wow
yep... thats how true love works... one is never past it...the special person can be gone for decades.... but that fire and yearning of love is just as bright as on day one... kinda gives a special meaning to ones life and days...
She was clearly the love of his life.
The back story really brings the words alive.
Graham's voice is still young sounding and very clear, just like when he was young.
"Heartbreaking, but at least I have a heart to break" That is pure wisdom.
You can will read the love - and the pain- in his eyes after all these years. Sincerity makes art, truly.
That man wrote a masterpiece with that song. I love Graham because he was didn't come out the other side of being a rockstar as some souless alien. He's just a great delightful guy.

Heartbreak over lost loves. At least we have hearts to break, and hearts to love again. Those pictures of Joni back in the Canyon.....OMG. 💗
You can tell her still loves her deep down
This song reminds me of my mom who passed in 2012 ..RIP mom ...your at home now , I'll come running when the sunsets ...I love you 😘
♡
And that beautiful relationship and the feelings in it, are preserved forever in his beautiful song. The power of music.
Hearing Graham talk and tell stories is almost as good as hearing him sing ...Its all good .

I think all of us who were young when this song came out were born at a great time.
Crosby Stills, Nash & Young did some wonderful songs. Brilliant harmonies. So melodic. 💐
"Judy Blue Eyes" was about Steven Stills relationship with Judy Collins. Judy Collins is another superstar from the period when music had lyrics with meaning.

I have NEVER ever met a musician who did NOT have a sweet love story to tell..
Brilliant story, brilliant songwriter and I love that Graham still has his Northern accent.

Stories like these really vindicate the "behind the song" show. It feels like the musicians are really happy to be able to share "beauty" with us all. Keep up the good work Top 2000 a gogo!
A timeless classic! An absolute favorite of mine and my Dad.

Was lucky enough to meet the man once. As good as they come.
Something tells me that Joni listens to 'Our House' at least once a day. Maybe twice. But never skips a day.
I got to know this dear man in the 70's....but, I never knew the story of that song...you are so so good at doing these videos...what a great pleasure...thank you so much for doing this!
I felt like tearing up when he talked about their breakup
Anyone who's ever lost someone who's irreplaceable knows exactly how he feels.
I took care of that for you...😪

Can tell it still hurts a bit. Great piece.

You still can Dan.
whats stopping you sir...? let her hear you singing it for her... bless your memories sir. thanks for sharing.
@@johnhalverson1133 was just going to offer the same...

This is one of my favorite songs. I always wanted my home to feel like this song. I wanted someone that enjoyed cozy as much as me.
This song is one of favorites. I liked it the very first time I ever heard it. It is obvious that Graham has a big heart when one hears its lyrics.
What a sensible human being, that where beautiful art coming from
Beautiful interview and story. Stunning.
This song is my favorite, always been since I first heard it when I was 7. Reminds me of how my papa loves my ma very much and how our family is glued by their love, now that paps passed away, i know ma is broken hearted beyond my imagination but she always felt loved by him, always was and always have been.
One of my fav songs ..now even more so after hearing the story behind it.
Was in a similar situation ..so I feel his pain.
Just think if she bought a bong instead, or if it was sunny and warm. Inspiration is magical.
I'll light the bong, and you'll break the weed up in the grinder that you bought ... today!!
I want to leave a comment here… the 1960s are a beautiful decade of music. Arguably (to some?) this song is one of many great songs from the period (there’s the whole shocking catalogue of Dylan’s work, the best Simon & Garfunkel produced, Hendrix, etc. etc.). All things considered though this apparently little song has such a special place - at least for me. It’s unassuming perfections, warmth and caring ‘domesticity’ of a kind (literally: Our House). It’s truly one of my favourites and I’m so glad it was written.
Loved hearing this story on one of my all time top favorite songs! ❤️💐🏠🐈🐈
Never listen to this kind of music other than black music until my twin sister (we were about 14) started turning the radio on to Q99, K92, WFIR, country etc. And I'm glad she did. I enjoy music.
Life is what memories are for. Thanks
That is awesome - I had no idea that's where the song came from. Wonderful.
I know the pain and the joy . I never had chance to express it like you.
unbelievable . The soundtrack to my childhood road trips! Thanks Graham

You weren't alone...
I love this shit. Great series. Thanks for making and posting them. Peace.
Damn Graham.... Bring us all to tears why don't you...
That was absolutely beautiful.
Thanks for sharing! Graham, such a class act and legendary singer/songwriter!
I loved to hear this story. This song belong to my youth prime

0:53 Yes what a great era it was ! !
I was 10 when it came out. My older brother left the record behind for me (thanks!) and I always loved this song. It felt so ordinary but loving, like what a life together should be like when you're in love.
Definitely tell the love is still there for him and the regret .
I could listen to him tell old stories like this for days!
Two musical geniuses indeed!
Love like that never dies.♥
He’s still hurting over her. I get it man. Even time doesn’t take some things away...
Y'know, this the song that my (ex) wife and I rallied around during our marriage. Simple love. Quiet moments. We...after a long time....have become friends. This is still our big memory. It's beautiful to know that the song was really written about a quiet moment.
What a beautiful and simple song. Beautiful love story
great song and so sad that he still loves her
man still loves her
How wonderful that must have been for them...and we have the music!
Wonderful song, amazing to know the story behind it.
I currently work in giving English classes in Bogota. Yesterday, I gave lessons to an almost absolute 18-years-old Joni Mitchell look-like lady -just the color of the eyes are different. This colombian girl had never heard of Joni before. We could not believe how similar they are! She was totally surprised! And even more when I showed her this video.

Beautiful people Joni and CSN&Y who fifty odd years later still thrill us
So sad..always loved that song
It's nice to know that Graham knew how to focus on the important things, like beautiful women!
;-)
The one song for many of us that resonates with our one true soul mate. We played this song at our wedding almost 40 years ago.
Having Joni Mitchell, and then losing her, must be quite a thing to overcome.
From the sounds of his voice that the flame is still burning for her.
When you're in love that's one thing. But when you "Love" a person that love can not be let go by your will. It will be there for 50 years and will continue for 50 more. I learned that in my older years.
There's a lot of sadness in that beautiful memory...
My very 1st Concert at age 12 was Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. I remember crying throughout it, because music that deeply beautiful, profoundly touched my little empathic heart, even at that very young age!
Beautiful.
One of my favorite songs. Joni Mitchell: brilliant muse
Of all the top 2000's, this is the best. My eyes were filled with tears listening to him. What beautiful lyrics. Can you think about how young you were when you heard that song? Now you know the rest of the story.
Moving testimony of a beautifull love still alive and a great song. Thx
Wow so much said in a short time !
Hoe mooi een simpel verhaaltje kan zijn.
such a lovely song well done.
That was one of the more sad behind-the-song stories.
I always liked songs that paint a picture in your mind. This song certainly always did that for me. A comfortable song that leaves you feeling peaceful. It paints the picture of home for my husband and I (and our two cats).
