If one wishes to support the channel monetarily, but would rather not join the Patreon, here is a way to do so. UA-cam and Patreon both take percentages of earnings from videos (in UA-cam's case, I'll make around 5-10% of what any given video makes, the rest goes to supporting the Label who owns the copywrite and to supporting the platform, so this is a helpful way to help me keep on making videos.

First off, your Father is a beautiful soul; I remember having some amazing conversations with my Father...some of my fondest memories. One thing, though, when you're really digging into lyrics from songs of the '60s and '70s: you have to keep the historical context in your mind. (This will get a bit long, I'm afraid!) This is very definitely a song *of* the era, and from the view of what some called the "counter-culture." Which usually really meant "the young," or various disparaging labels. It was a plea to the older generation...yes, give us your dreams, moral codes, and hopes, but, understand that we will make our own choices. Don't ask us why, you wouldn't like the answer...just give us "that" look and sigh...and know that we love you. The same to the younger generation...tell your parents what *you* believe in, what's important to you, but know that your parents will pick their own, don't ask them why, just give them the look every teenager since the dawn of time has given a parent...sigh, and know that they love you. An amazing, beautiful song, and I thoroughly enjoyed the discussion you and your Father had...something you'll look back on when you're in your 60s with love and a smile.
Bingo! I could not say it as well.
Little known fact: Jerry Garcia from the Grateful Dead played pedal steel guitar on this song.
You can tell it's Jerry, that same magic touch is so distinctive.
Wow. Thanks. If I ever knew that I forgot. Very cool
I knew that, lol
The magic sparkles that made this song so catchy.
I would have pointed this out if no one else had.
But also, Daniel's seeming hope that Neil Young was going to be on this isn't actually the case. While Young is part of the group for the whole album this is from, some of the songs he didn't participate in recording (that weren't truly his songs). So, I'd like Daniel to react to "Ohio", "Country Girl", "Everybody I Love You", and "Helpless", which is totally different from "Helplessly Hoping".
Teach Your Children is a plea for intergenerational understanding. It's hard to understand now, but back then the generation gap was a big thing. Jack Weinberg had famously said, "Don't trust anyone over 30." A lot of younger people thought the older generation had completely screwed things up, and that they had to throw out all the old values and reinvent society. A lot of older people thought young people were unrealistic idealists at best, and ungrateful jerks at worst. It led to things like construction workers beating the crap out of anti-war protestors, and young people rejecting their parents (not just their values). It was a really chaotic time.
In the middle of this, CSN&Y released this song asking parents to keep loving their children even when they didn't understand them, and vice versa. Each generation had to accept that the other generation had its own history, it's own fears, it's own hopes, it's own pains. It was an important message that people really needed to hear.
Perfectly great comment !
I was going to make much the same points, there was a lot of talk then about the generation gap, the baby boomers who had survived WWII had a different perspective than their children being drafted to fight in the Vietnam War. Sexual mores were changing with the advent of the Pill, drugs were more prevalent, campuses had angry students, ghettos were burning, we'd had assassinations in '68 (this was a b-side in '69), we'd gone through a contentious election with police beating protestors at the Democratic convention in Chicago; basically a lot of upheaval. It was no longer the summer of love. This song with its country feel was like taking a deep breath.
Now that I am 56, I don't trust myself. 😁
Kinda like now.
@@firebird7479 😂
Guys....you have to put yourself back in those times....late sixties and early seventies. Counter-culture; hippies; Vietnam demonstration....THE GENERATION GAP. That’s why the switch at the end....Children, teach your PARENTS well. Young people were rebelling against the established order...(Don’t trust anyone over 30 was a catch phrase of the time......until we all passed our 30th birthday..rather ruefully). We felt we had things to teach our parents...to not have blind faith in our government...to be less conforming. Our parents fought WWII, and believed that America was always the good guy...and found it almost impossible to accept that Vietnam was wrong....protesting was unpatriotic....some saw it as treasonous. And we thought that protest WAS being patriotic. In many families there were rifts between parents and children. Many young people left home and went “on the road” hitch-hiking across the country and the world....living communally. Anyway, I’ve gone on too long...but even your dad is younger than my sons. You had to have been there to know how those times were. Well....I guess now we’ve come full circle and it’s almost as bad now as it was then. Almost worse now. Because...I think we actually BELIEVED in a “code to live by” in those days. Too many people today seem to have NO CDOE at all. How did we lose the value of integrity? Of honor? We were idealistic back then....and naive, thinking we could make positive changes in the culture. Now, it seems to be all cynicism and fear...and no shared sense of values. So...in that sense, I think we are WORSE off now than we were even in those turbulent times.
Which is why we need these songs, these conversations, and parents and children who value and love each other, even more than we did then. Well put.
That’s precisely why these old songs are still relevant and important.
Exactly just hope we wake up before all is lost. I think a lot has to do with social media eroding the fabric of the family, the community and civic duty and the self centered thinking that you are "free" do anything regardless of others and the consequences to society. This applies both to older adults as well as youth. It's a very complex issue and needs to be fixed.
It is interesting because I see views here that I know come from a different direction from my own. I read into phrases like “free to do what you want” as what many think is wanted and yet it isn’t about that to me. It is about the responsibility to others, to everyone. The desire to make life better for everyone. I may demand the freedom to be myself within the confines of the greater societal need of not hurting others. At the same time I demand you have the right to be you, have your faith, your beliefs, your religion, with the same fervor and limitation, that it not hurt others. I do not have to believe what you believe to support your right to live your life. We can love people who have different life experiences and world views. At least I know I can and I have met others who can as well.
Daniel,
I love the relationship you have with your Dad. :) It's so touching when you have him on as a guest. ♡
Great reaction to a great song.
(When I was younger ... my dreams of retirement always envisioned CSNY playing in the background & me just sitting on my back porch taking in their beautiful sounds. Mild breeze would be blowing the high grass in the field, just swaying it in a rhythmic back & forth motion)
:) My mind goes there quite often lately. :)
Thank you for choosing this song. :)
One of those brilliant songs from Deja Vu. Almost cut my hair should be on your list.
Brilliant album; didn’t leave my turntable until I had every word memorized. And not even then.
I really enjoy the videos you do with your dad. I love how emotional he gets when he talks about spending time with you here. Appreciate these moments because life is short. From the short time I have been watching your channel I can tell you are a fine young man with a great future. I'm 65 and a music lover and I will tell you that your channel is one of the best ones because your reactions are genuine. Keep it going. Hi to Pop's.. Peace!
"Meant to be listened to with headphones on" These days, yes, that's the premium way people get the music's effect but back in the day we listened to it on vinyl, crankin' it loud on powerful stereos with big speakers. The whole neighborhood listened along with us LOL
Jerry Garcia provided the pedal steel on this song. When he finished a take, they cut him off before he could do another take. Jerry was probably thinking he could do better on the next solo, but the band knew he nailed the feel the first time.
As an Australian I never once associated this song with the American dream. To me this song was about the human condition. And I loved this song. And so did all the other people who requested it. And the world today needs more songs like this. Kudos to you both for this reaction. Today's anecdote. Way back then (late 70s) I found myself living next door to Deniz Tek of Radio Birdman for a short while. He transferred Deja vu and some James Taylor from LP to cassette for me. When I played the cassette I found that the tape was infilled with the Troggs version of Wild Thing, a few Ramones tracks, an Iggy Pop track, and Autobahn by Kraftwerk.
And Birdman's track of 'Descent into the Maelstrom.'
I find myself amused at calling this 'Americana' and I reckon Jerry Garcia's pedal steel track has a lot to do with that label, but never forget the writer of this bit of 'Americana' was born, raised, and made his entry into show business in England. At the time he wrote this, Graham Nash was still far more English than American. As an American, I roll my eyes at my countrymen's tendency to try to take credit for all things good, even though we discovered a lot of them centuries after the rest of the world. LOL.
@@stpnwlf9 I grok you Randy. *sings* 'In an upstairs room in Blackpool..'
Deniz was probably just trying to broaden you musical horizons :)
As an Aussie beyond "a certain age" I must say that Birdman were the bees knees.
"Book him Dano; murder one".
@@stevious7278 Aaah. It worked. :)
I used to talk about music with my dad too., especially because he was once a professional musician and I became a music teacher. I wish he were still here to to have those talks with . I watched this all the way to the end and enjoyed every moment,
Jerry Garcia from Grateful Dead plays the Pedal Steel Guitar on this tune.
The song is written by Graham Nash.
If Daniel's Dad likes Grand Funk Railroad, he can't go wrong with me. CSNY at it's best. Harmony personified. Always nice to see you together.
D9, you should react to Ohio by CSN. It is a reaction to the Kent State shootings back in the mid 70s.
"We're An American Band"...hear that one in the gym on a regular basis! Also a good react would be Mountain "Mississippi Queen".
Agreed. I've always thought that this song is all the more powerful for coming from this group,, known for its lovely harmonies. It's "Americana" in a very different way.
Your dad is awesome!
I grew up listening to CSNY, learned to harmonize with them, learned so much about life through their lyrics. I remember well the first time I heard this song. It was SO COOL watching your faces as you listened, and seeing/feeling the same things I did when I first heard it...you made it new to me again. I listened to it at 17, and now I listen to it as a mom - and feel more able to identify with both sides of the lyric (teach your children...teach your parents). We learn from each other, we grow together. Thanks for bringing this one back to me. Please keep up the great work.
This was written by Graham Nash, back when he was with the band The Hollies. He brought it to CSN&Y when he changed bands.
I was sickened by the debate,turned it off, and now I’m with you two. I am not so alone. Thank you for the company.
There was a debate?!😉
@@bradsmack1 Homer Simpson and Bozo the clown
@@HamiltonRb D-oh! Sorry I missed it! But, I'll always vote for watching and listening to Dad'n'Daniel spin a record!🎶
The adolescents and young adults of 1970, the people who were this song's original audience, are now the grandparents of 2020. Things sure look different now, that's all I can say.
Dan Fogelberg - Leader of the band is one you should listen to with your father. If you do I think you will understand why.
I was so sad when he died. Beautiful music and beautiful lyrics.
Dan Fogelberg "Along the Road" shows the gentleness and calmness needed on the journey of life. Daniel's Dad, listen to that, please.
I think it’s been said before, but I’d like to jump on the bandwagon that suggested another father/son reaction with Mike and the Mechanics, “The Living Years”. Please and thanks!
Yes....The Living Years....is an awesome song.
PLEASE YES! One if the best songs for a father and son reaction!
If we could ever sit down with one another and have dialog, our problems here in America would begin to go away. We have a lot more in common than what the media would have us believe.
This was a great father son reaction. It warmed my heart. Children learn from their parents but parents also have to learn from their children. And children should know that their parents are shaped by the things they were taught, which may have been wrong so be easy on them. Btw Harry Chapin’s Cat’s in the Cradle is a great father son song.
The two of you grooving on the song together sure plays out the song's intent. Brilliant!
That's Graham Nash doing the lead vocals, formerly from The Hollies, a lot of the harmony is David Crosby ex Byrds musician.
Crazy David had the best voice of them all.I Almost Cut My Hair Today!
@@joelliebler5690 Ironic, that verse occurs to me almost daily, then I decide to let my freak flag fly
Wow Scott I love the Hollies. i never would have guessed that was who I was hearing.
@@marygordon172 yes, Nash was in the Hollies, Crosby in the Byrds, Stills and Young in Buffalo Springfield
This was written by Graham Nash. The term “ Americana” refers to music based in American folk and or traditional music. It’s a rich genre filled with great artists.
The movie “ O Brother Where Art Thou?” kicked off the labeling and popularization of the genre.
A great Americana singer/songwriter is Gillian Welch. Check out “ Orphan Girl” , “ That’s the Way It Will Always Be”.
It is at least half Americana. Stills and Crosby are American, Young is Canadian and Nash is English
first of,...it is SO SO cool that you can enjoy music with your dad. as a dad....i can tell you, it's very special. ok..next. fantastic. as always, CSN (and sometimes Y) almost ALWAYS dilivers. also....jerry garcia on pedal steel just puts it over the top of great...
Kids, parents, respect each other. You won’t always agree, but just respect. And love.
WOW!! Your Dad is the best Daniel!! So loving, kind, a very good listener So appreciated both of your comments about what's going on...especially tonight (presidential debate) you chose the best portion use of time...talking & listening to each others hearts through music...what an excellent example for us all!! Just take time to listen & appreciate each other for that priviledge!!💖 Excellent coverage of that tract!!👍😁
I’m a dad that grew up in the 80’s, like your dad, and I just want to say, that watching you guys spend this time together pulled at my own heartstrings- I may not have appreciated it, as a 17 year old- but I know your dad ( thoroughly) enjoyed connecting with you- it’s quite evident throughout the video! - hope you guys share more, in the future!! - God bless
Thanks for this. Very enjoyable. The song makes me reflect on my dad, and myself as a dad.
A rare " rocker " by CSN&Y is " Almost Cut My Hair ". I' m sure you will like it.
I am 72 years old....I have a daughter, 41 years old, and a son, 39 years old. In some ways they are each like me. I have always been amused by that. In other ways they are each different from me. At first that befuddled me......but now I am amused by it, as well. Early on, they learned from me, grew from me. As they got older, and are now themselves making their way through adulthood, I am learning from them, as well....growing from them. I am further along on the path of life than they are.....and though they are coming behind me on the same path, as it were, their experiences will be different from mine in ways. I shouldn't assume or expect that it will be the same for them as it was for me. But it doesn't make that much difference....the higher value is that we respect and love one another, as you have both pointed out. There is a term, "familial maturity", which refers to the need for both parent and child to make an adjustment when the child reaches a certain age...the adjustment being the recognition that the child is no longer a dependent of the parent, s/he is now an autonomous adult in her or his own right. And at times this adjustment can be difficult for both the parent and/or the child. But again....post adjustment, the respect and love can remain. (And grow stronger) Thank you for allowing me to listen in to your thoughtful and tender dialogue. I think you are both such good models for what it is to be a good dad, a good son, a good adult, a good human being....
you'd like Pure Prairie League ~ "Falling In And Out Of Love + Amie"
Love Amie. Great song.
The Long version ✌️♥️
Neil is in there. Probably one of the acoustic guitars. I'm pretty sure that twangy electric is Stills. If you want to hear Neil sing with CSN try 'Helpless' or 'Country Girl' edit: Neil's not in there. And the steel guitar is Jerry Garcia
loved them in the 70s and neil young was the perfect addition. wonderful music and especially lyrics. I love dad's t-shirt!
This song, written by Graham Nash, is from their wonderful album "CSN&Y Deja Vu". It is an anthem of the generational gap that exploded between parents and children during the rapidly changing 60's. It is truly a legendary song, especially when you consider that the major instrument, the pedal steel guitar, was played by Jerry Garcia, later of The Grateful Dead. There are many great songs from this album, and one of my favorites was also written by Graham Nash: "Our House" ua-cam.com/video/tKYjUn-SBcg/v-deo.html A song with a much different message; how happiness and the meaning of life are enhanced through living each day with someone you deeply love. It's a feel good song. Hope you will react to it. Good to see you share your reactions with family members. I love to see you and Clair together; big brother subtly mentoring little sister. That leaves me feeling good. Best wishes. 💕💕
By the way dad, you've got a really good son there.kudos.
4:35 I know how much lyrics matter to you (me too), but I love what your dad said here. Their vocals "sound" so beautiful that it doesn't really matter what they're saying. The fact that it just sounds beautiful, regardless of what they're saying is awesome. I love how it affected your dad like that from listening with headphones on. I just listen on my computer, so I'm not wearing any headphones, but it definitely sounds better with headphones, no doubt, but these guys made magic together, unlike anyone else. They really were amazing, but I only know about them because they'd come on the radio a lot. I never bought any of their albums. My loss.
I love your dad, Daniel. He's a wonderful man.
"And it's interesting how getting the other perspective almost expands your view of the picture, almost..."
Hence the suggestion to bring Dad in for this.
ANOTHERRR GR88888 EXAMPLE OF A SHORT 2-3 MINUTE ABSOLUTE TIMELESS SONG WITH THESE GUYS DANIEL AND DAD! :)
22:19 "Tender Years" is actually a song by John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band. They provided the soundtrack to the 1983 movie, "Eddie and the Cruisers". "Tender Years" appears in the movie and actually charted in the US. I was an extra in that movie.
Good job guys. Try Mike + The Mechanics "The Living Years" for the next duo reaction.
Another father-son themed song you might want to check out with your dad is Leader of the Band, by Dan Fogelberg. He could rock out occasionally, but is better known for his ballads. It got a lot of play on commercial radio back in the day, and it will tug on your heart strings a bit...I think you'd enjoy it. Hopefully as much as I enjoyed this!
I've always heard the line as '*their* father's hell,' making it a two-generation conversation. This Too Shall Pass, and so will whatever the kids have to contend with.
What the father said near the end is so true. Time does seem to go by more rapidly as you age, and that's a thing that is impossible to understand when you're young...until you reach the age where it starts happening to you. And remembering the good parts of bad things that happened in the past.
The good parts of bad things. You really pointed out a deeper wisdom right there.
My grandfather always told me that the days are long, but the years are short. Took me until 40 to fully understand what he meant
@@markkozielec2200 It's partly physiological. Our brain's perception of time changes as our metabolism slows down.
Please Consider the Beach Boys'' masterpiece the 1966 album "Pet Sounds" in its entirety. This album forever changed rock music.
Paul McCartney has often said his favourite song ever was the Beach Boy’s song God only knows
Daniel, your father has to be extremely proud of you.
So glad you brought Dad in again!
As mentioned by Grateful Dad, Jerry Garcia does the excellent pedal steel work here. As thanks, Graham Nash gave Jerry a 1957 Fender Strat as thanks. Now Jerry, not being much into stock anything, took it to the Alembic guys for some "customization" we'll call it. The Alembic guys ended up referring to the guitar as "Frankenstein", but we all knew it as "Alligator". That's the wonderful guitar sound of "Europe 72"! Keep up the good work, Daniel, you have much more great CSNY work to look forward to! Glad to see Dad enjoying this wonderful music so much, you have done your best to "teach your parents well....."
Wonderful moment to share with the world. I skipped the debate for this, and it was a good move.
This song was written by Graham Nash and he sang the lead. Crosby Stills Nash & (Young) usually wrote their songs individually and occasionally w/another in the group. U have go read the credits to know who wrote what. This Americana song was written by Nash who was from England
went to a Graham Nash concert (4th row!) three years ago in a small theater .. Teach Your Children was one that the entire audience sang (and Nash just looked so pleased, and only joined end at the end) ... lovely song
The four men in question, Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young, are very distinct as writers. You'll get where you can tell who wrote a song instantly. Graham Nash, the writer of this song, writes very simple tunes with very impactful words. He once wrote a hit song on the way to the airport in order to win a bet ('Just a Song Before I Go'). But the words Nash writes always have strong meanings and important messages, couched in very simple chord structures.
This was an Americana song, but is applicable across the globe in all times regarding father son relationships. The perrenial core fear for adults is expressed in Ancient Greek mythology in the story of father, Daedalus, and teenage son, Icarus. The father had made them wings from bird feathers and wax to escape from Crete. The father warned the son not to fly too near the Sun or the heat would cause the wax to melt and he would fall. The son failed to heed the warnings and fell to his death. The island of Icara and the Icarian Sea are named after the son. The fear in the story is so basic, it has been immortalized in mythology.
In honesty it isn’t really an americana song because you have to look at the make up of the band. David Crosby Stephen Stills are American. RIP David Crosby. Graham Nash is British. Neil Young is Canadian. This song is universal and it’s universal to all the generations from one to the next. One of my favourite CSNY songs
23:20 So glad you said what you said here. The issue here is immaturity and insecurity. I've done it many times and only within the last few years have I come to realize how foolish and stupid I was acting. Anytime you attack another persons opinion, if you do so in a negative way, instead of a constructive respectful way, what you're actually doing is exposing something going on within yourself that you're not comfortable with. The goal in any disagreement should be to respect the other persons opinion, no matter how badly you disagree with them. This isn't all that hard to do when dealing with small matters, but the moment a sensitive topic is discussed, if there's disagreement, tempers can flare. A calm secure mature person will remain calm and not lash out in anger. When someone would lash out at me, I immediately saw that I had 'struck a nerve' and sometimes handled it in an arrogant conceited way, instead of in a mature rational and calm way. When we look down on the person we are disagreeing with, we are showing a side of ourselves that we need to examine more closely. That fact that you seem to get this at 17 is great.
Oh look, I'm sounding all philosophical now, hah hah : )
Was just going to ask if you were a philosophy major when I got to the last line, lol ! Seriously, you always bring lots of food for thought. Thanks !
Great comment.
@@theblackcat5416 Hah. Thanks Cat. One time I was listening to a Guided Meditation and the voice said "Your outer world is just a reflection of your inner world. If you want to change your outer world you must first change your inner world".
I remind myself that almost daily.
Maybe I should change my yt name to 'Lightmane, the Philosopher' :-P
@@Hartlor_Tayley thank you
This has been a very special post, and I thank you for sharing it with us! You guys obviously have a great relationship, and I hope you cherish it!
You and your dad should listen to Harry Chapin’s “Cat’s in the Cradle.” This is another father and son song. The message in that song is quite powerful.
I was thinking the same thing when I saw them do "Father Ans Son". Great suggestion!
@Harper Madison Thanks for the info! I’ll check it out.
@@stevious7278 He did do a review! Check the comments above for the link to Cat’s Cradle.
@@debbieelholm7921 Oh. Thanks for the info.
Neil Young was always a rogue musician. He and Stills were tight and band mates in Buffalo Springfield. Crosby was part of the Byrds. Nash was a member of the Hollies. CSN turned into CSNY when Stills needed another lead guitar player given the fact that he played keyboards and couldn’t handle the load when touring. Often times Young marched to his own drummer - backing out of booked tours and not participating in the recording of some songs - like this one. The harmonies are due to the vocal prowess of Nash and Crosby. Stills had a tremendous range and was an impeccable guitar player. Young is just a genius songwriter and musician. There is no one like him and never will be.
This is a great interaction between father and son and I am so very pleased to see there is intelligence out there I already love how smart Danial is and here I get to see how he has developed....I wish I could enjoy there company other than just a computer I miss this kind of conversation and revisiting these older songs in ways I believe is helping people see beyond themselves and breaking through any stigmas
You can't go wrong with CSN&Y in my book ! Thanks for joining in D8 ! CS&N at Red Rocks Amphitheater, it's in the top 5 concerts for sure ! ✌❤🌻😷🎶
The song highlights the obviously natural in intergenerational relationships: Parents and children are guided through life by each other, but there doesn't have to be a stated reason for everything("Because I said so"). Parents and children guide from their own experiences, each not fully understood by the other. We all have demons that only we know about ourselves, and you will never reveal everything - that's your own hell. If you told others about these things, they would cry. Ultimately, we all have to live in the world together and be at some level of peace. To some extent, we just sigh and let it be, knowing that, no matter what, we love each other.
In l972, my brothers (playing guitars) and sisters learned this song and sang it for my Mom for Mother's Day. Made her so happy she cried. I was a senior in high school.
One of their best “headphone songs” is You Don’t Have To Cry. Stephen Stills playing everything including dual lead panning left and right✌🏻
I bought this album and at some time recorded it on cassette so I could listen to it in my car. Many years later during a career change I was training to be a teacher. I was on my second practicum in 1989, 400 kms from home when I got pulled from teaching a math class to be told my mom had died. I was a wreck the remainder of the day but the next day started driving home, popping cassettes into the car stereo when this song came on. I had to pull over to the side of the road for 1/2 hour. 33 years later it still does this to me.
IT WENT FROM PARENTS HELL TO CHILDRENS HELL, I SAW YOU PICK UP ON THAT DANIEL, VERYYYYY GOOD SON! LOL :) AMAZINGGGG HOW NEIL COULD JUST CREATE AND CREATE SO MANYYYYY SHORT SIMPLE BUT COMPLEX SONGS.
Great reaction and discussion between son and Father. CSN&Y always wrote direct messages about everyday life in a homespun way that connects with everyone.. I Love how they turn it around in the last verse to the children teaching the parents. we can all learn from each other as long as we love and respect each other., it really is that simple.
Great reaction. Great for a father and son. Dad you’ve obviously taught your child well. The best thing we can ever do for our children is teach them to fly on their own. Because we love them. Son the best thing you could ever do is teach your parents well.And let them know that they showed you how to fly and that you love them.❤️😀👍✌️🌼Love and peace to both of you
Cherish those times with your dad, youngblood. The sad truth is that he probably wont be there forever. I miss my dad every day. He wasn't there to really feed me on his dreams. Not his fault. Take in as much of your dad's wisdom as you can. Knowing that he put the time in, and sometimes it was hell, because he didn't listen to his father's wisdom. And you will look back and see that those life lessons were offered, but the attitude of youth does not allow admission that he may know more than the child. Crap I don't even know if what I'm trying to say makes sense.
This song is so deep, and has meaning on many levels. Just remember that parents are still human, they make mistakes. They don't automatically have all the answers, but they endeavor to help you avoid the mistakes they made. It only seems like control.
Soon you will start out on your own. May dad's advice guide you through the hard times ahead as well as the pleasant times.
I'm done babbling. Keep them coming. Hope you enjoyed the little sketch I did on your other page...lol
Another one you should listen to with your dad is "Leader of the Band" by Dan Fogelberg. Great tune.
the American dream is the human dream.....but it is not just material things that you want to them to excel. Travel is broadening. History is broadening. It is all human, everybody. Mistakes happen. Children teach your parents. Keep your ideals and find 'the truth' before you can die. Parents and Children can learn from each other when the relationship is functional. A song against dysfunction. THANK YOU C,S,N & Y!
I envy your opportunity to participate in these kinds of dialogues with one another, The first line of the lyric hits home with me...my father was literally on the road, almost constantly. His work kept him away from home excepting for weekends and there was little time to simply sit and talk as you are able to do. He died far too young and before we could have made up for those lost opportunities.
I have just a little different take on the lyric's meaning, one with a little edge to it. "Feed them on your dreams, the one they picked, the one you'll know by. Don't you ever ask them why, If they told you you would cry, So just look at them and sigh, and know they love you." I hear this as....Let them know your dreams and ambitions for them, and live with the selection they make (It may be one you didn't want for them at all). Furthermore, don't ask why they made the selection they did...it may very well be that they have rejected some part of your dream that you hold dear. Don't reject them because of it because, bottom line, you know they love you, even though they may not love everything about you. That's in the nature of generational change. Make sense?
Finally, good selection and good reaction. Thanks.
I love seeing your dad with you, your relationship is beautiful. This was a great song for a son & dad to hear together.
Heard this first when I was 4 or 5 I think... was a staple around the house back then... also on a lot of mix albums and 8 tracks as well as cassettes. Still listen as an adult too
Teach your parents well is the key to the growing of the continuing of generations.
I've heard this song so many times as well as many that you've covered Daniel and like your dad, it was years ago without headphones. Each time you download a song I put on my headphones and it's a WOW moment for me.....just like your dad. I'm hearing things I've never noticed before. Songs have become new again for me.
Daniel, I'm glad your dad was with you on this video. After you two listen to this song, we can see the love between you two towards each other. I really didn't have connection. My dad died in my arms when I was about your age, a major heart attach, 6:00 in the AM. I still remember it like yesterday.
Thank you thank you. Beautiful song lyrics and young man you've got a future and the man sitting next to you is a remarkable father. You're both so lucky.
Now all you have to do is finish the album :-P
Watching your dad , I can see why you're such an intelligent moral, good-hearted person.
Love the twist... children teach your parents well.
we teach our children about our dreams - which can be wonderful - but our children teach us that they have their own dreams -- so we teach back and forth child to parent and parent to child
We sang this in 7th grade choir . Love this group. Lucky to have seen them .
Daniel, you taught your father well and he you. Beautiful! This is what conversations should be. Thank you.
Great Pick.
I remember singing this song on an early hitch-hiking trip in the 1970's, we earned enough for some food and wine, memories, great stuff!!
Yay another one with Dad love you guys love love love your music enthusiasm and joy and contemplation
We need more of your awesome and wholesome dad on this channel
If you haven't done Suite: Judy Blue Eyes, it was probably their greatest song. The teach your parents stuff in the current song was part of the whole counter culture mentality. My generation thought we were going to save the world.
He did react to Suite: Judy Blue Eyes. You can search for what he's done in my spreadsheet here - docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GBByPlvSH10WQ0hibNL_xafZuC4PSgjOJDicwG6c8Tc/edit?usp=sharing
@@luckymustard Lucky, you rock for doing the spreadsheet. Cheers!!
I can remember when I was a kid in the 70's that my parents really made it a point to have music of all varieties on in the house. Over the years my father and I would play, name-that-band in the car just to see how many bands we knew. It's always been a cherished memory for me and now with my own children, we have so much music in common that all stemmed from my own parents simply sharing their love of music with me.... Don't miss the chance to dig a cool tune with your folks...
I played this for my 26 year old daughter. I said “ get it now? “
Your lucky you have such a cool dad. Dad & Mom are doing a fantastic job. Don't worry dad Daniel is on his way.
All World vocal harmony, maybe the best ever!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Seeing you and your father having a conversation about a song by C.S.N. & Y. was really cool to see and hear.
Our 10th grade teacher in Hi School Sociology 1974 played this for us in class he later became principal
Hi Dad! Good to see you back. Your son is pretty awesome, but you knew that already. :-)
What a great song and reaction. This song always resonated with me because of the incredible profound message and the beautiful harmonies and music especially the pedal steel guitar sound. I think to me the song is saying you can never know the pain and suffering that your parents endured and shaped the values and code of conduct that they tried to pass on to you. So accept them with their faults and don't ask what makes them them but ultimately you will decide which truths, values and dreams to follow. So in turn, you'll teach and show them by example what are your values and dreams and open their eyes to your dreams and truths. It's full circle the parents teaching the children and vice versa, both need to teach and accept each other. For example, my parent's generation lived through and fought in WWII and the sacrifices they made were incredible and many especially soldiers or people who lost loved ones didn't talk about it because of the pain (Their father's hell did slowly go by....it would only make you cry) but this shaped what values they wanted to instill in their children and some children resisted this for good or bad. I think Graham Nash (born 1942) who wrote the song could of been speaking about his British parents who lived through the hell of WWII in England. Anyway thanks for the reaction and getting people to think about the basic truths to live by.
Great song, after the Beatles Crosby Stills and Nash was and is my favorite band. I grew up in the 60’s, great harmonies. Their later music is just as good.
What a freaking awesome reaction and so insightful. Would love to see more of Dad and Danny 💯💯💯
I love your thoughtful analysis of various songs near and dear to my past-- this time I especially appreciated you father's analysis and obvious pride in and affection for you (I think CSN&Y would be pleased)!
That moment of recognition (verse 2) I LOVED the looks on both your faces. It's come full circle!
Nice song Lyrics, music and harmonie and good message
