"So we cheated and we lied, and we tested. And we never failed to fail, it was the easiest thing to do." Hard to find a more relatable lyric. CSN's harmonies are always spectacular.
The harmonies when they start the chorus - "I have been around the world" - are just... eargasmic. (Sorry if that's not a word and/or not appropriate, lol.) This takes me away like Calgon. (And that reference should divide the comments section by age in a nanosecond 😂) Great reaction brother. Hope you and everyone else had a great Mother's Day! Love you buddy
Not wimpiest sellout in the tradition of top 40....Why?????? Do something with balls like 4 way street album...where Stills and Young trade guitar solos
OMG....this is my favorite CSN song; I'm a water person who's convinced she was some form of aquatic mammal in a previous lifetime 😁. I love that Stephen Stills named his sailing rig Music; a play on post divorce feelings, but entirely relatable to many. Thank you to the person suggesting this 😊
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN why are you putting awful comments all over this song, just move on. This is one of my very favorite songs in the world and clearly you don’t get it.
You can't go wrong with Crosby, Stills &Nash or Crosby, Stills Nash & Young! All solid singer-songwriters and musicians! They're harmonies are incredible and their lyrics are always intelligent.
One their best songs - love the sailing references and video. The Southern Cross is a constellation only visible in the Southern Hemisphere - 4 stars that correspond to the ends of the Cross in a near perfect way. I was lucky to travel to New Zealand after hearing this song and I was pretty impressed to see it myself.
@@jacqueline4514 Hi Jaqueline! Totally thought of you when this song came up. Tuning in from beautiful Costa Rica. Didn’t know about the Southern Cross thing either. Good to know.
@@RUSHChick Wow! are you on vacation? Good for you!! to be on vacation, watching Teez react to great songs, what could be better? And thank you for thinking of me! I'll be thinking of you, wishing I was there, lol!! 😊
I love this Stephen Stills song, thank you for reacting to it. All the CSN songs are great and also Buffalo Springfield which is Stills and Neil Young. You will love this journey.
The Southern Cross is a constellation of stars in the Milky Way galaxy that's visible in the southern hemisphere, sailors have used this constellation to sail by since the 14th century...so awesome.
"The Southern Cross" that is featured in the same named song is a constellation of five stars mainly in the skies of the Southern Hemisphere. It is on the Australian flag and states of the country including Victoria, where John Farnham comes from Teez! It is referred to in Australia's national anthem. It is also on the flags of other countries that are "down under." Crosby, Stills and Nash make the most beautiful, harmonious music. My heart always soars when I hear them. Respond to MORE of them, please!
I don’t know what version of this song is played in the video, but it must be a radio edit or something, because they cut it off before the last lines he sings: “So we cheated and we lied and we tested And we never failed to fail It was the easiest thing to do You will survive being bested Somebody fine will come along and make me forget about loving you And the Southern Cross” So Teez, now you know what you missed!
Bravo Chelsea; fantastic song. Crosby Stills Nash and it's members have such a rich musical history. Best Harmonies to be found. This song is one of my Mother's favorites, as well as mine (only 21 years apart). "Who knows love can endure" 💛
I love this song. And I love Graham Nash. 🎶 Also, I’ve seen Jimmy Buffett a whole bunch of times; and I think he’s covered this every time I’ve seen him. 💜💜💜
Great reaction bro. Sorry I'm late n I'm sure all this is said...but the song is both about Stephen Still's divorce and his travels on his boat and also David Crosby's addictions. He didn't even sing directly on the song as he was in rehab. Ppl like James Taylor and Linda Rondstadt filled in for the extra vocals. The line about his boat being all he had left was true. Crosby had a boat named "Music" and it was basically all he had left after selling most of his possessions for drugs. This song has such depth and meaning. The Southern Cross is a constellation only seen in the Southern hemisphere
The irony is, Crosby isn’t on this song! It’s actually Stills, Nash, Schmidt and Garfunkel! Yep it took an Eagle, Timothy B. Schmidt AND Art Garfunkel to fill David’s shoes!
You ended it before the final verse. "So we cheated and we lied and we trusted. And we never failed to fail; it was the easiest thing to do. You will survive being bested, 'cause somebody fine will come along and make me forget about loving you, and the southern cross..." Kinda ties up the whole story of the song.
I just learned everybody that David Crosby did NOT sing this song originally, apparently he was in contract disputes and he did not sign on the dotted line in time for this song, although he’s in the video lip syncing maybe but apparently the third voice you are hearing is actually ART GARFUNKEL’s voice, tid bit of info
The stereo version is the same as this music video except it is in stereo. Few music videos from the 70's were stereo unless it was a really big artist(s).
Hey fellow Mainer!! Yep, this song brings back great memories cruisin' the strip in Old Orchard Beach every summer in high school! (84 -88).... Good times! :)
@@maine420grow Love Phish!! Only concert I got to see at the Ballpark was Melissa Etheridge '89. Couldn't get tickets to Fleetwood Mac, AC/DC and about every other show we had there.... they all sold out too fast!! I graduated in '88 from Biddeford. Btw, my name is Tina (my husband is Mike). So yeah we're the same age....You're the first person I've "met" (that I know of ) from Maine too! So cool and nice to "meet" you! lol!!
I like the way you play the song and don't start talking and giving your reaction until the end. I hate it when they keep stoping in the middle of the song.
Rabbit Hole Alert. I consider Southern Cross as a pop sell out but it is still excellent. Before anyone hits the thumbs down. I mean in comparison to Helpless, Teach your Children and Suite Judy Blue Eyes type stuff for example. Southern Cross will wet your whistle but the meat is much more profound when you take the complete journey. When you make it to CSNY and the song Ohio is when you realize the power and tears of a generation.
Why this garbage ??? Their worst song off top 40 trash radio...Need either Carry on or Southern Man off 4 Way Street which shows balls when they rock with dual guitar solos

Their harmonies are beyond reproach

That line was NOT included in this version. They cut it off during the instrumental and didn’t wait for that line, which is an awful thing to do.
@@sarahzentexas huh. My brain must have been on autopilot with the original version. I didn't catch that.
We will survive being bested, somebody fine will come along and make me forget about lovin you.....and the Southern Cross
Nope this is their wimpiest garbage.....a sell out to top 40 garbage
@@sarahzentexas so what not up to their own standard...do their electric not top 40 garbage
So happy that you know this song now. It's been a staple in my life for over 40 years.

“... and music is her name.” Perfect song at the end of an already perfect day. Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
One of my favorite songs ever. And I LOVE how you let us listen without interrupting. I will watch again.

This song has been on permanent repeat for me since the day it was released.
One of my all-time favorite songs!
Those lead-in vocals to the harmonies are next level.

Actually the lyric goes.."And we TRYSTED"...totally different meaning. But ya, those last lines really made the song.
1:50 That smile says it all. Great reaction video.
Now don't tell me, you didn't feel emotional. When they bring their voices into harmony... Gave ya chills, didn't it?

The harmonies. And OMG the songwriting. And that's your first encounter with them. You have some great experiences ahead.
You cant get tired of this song its just so smooth
This is such a beautiful song. Thank you for reacting. I love just seeing someone hear it for the first time. ✌️💚🙏
Man these dudes could harmonize. So delicious
This made me smile 🥰🥰. Thank you!
🥰❤️
Love your style. You didn't keep interrupting the song, took notes, and discussed after. That's the way to do it. Great song!
No computer, no compression, no autotune.
So yea, music was better back then.
And no "yoyoyo" or beat boxes slobbering. 😮😮😮
The pinnacle of 1980s Yacht Rock
RIP David Crosby! Absolutely GUTTED at this news!
Keep goin with these guys they never disappoint
Ran across ur reaction
There isn't any 3 or 4 men today that can sing this good
Nor any women as well
Back when singers were talented
I love this song. And I love Graham Nash. 🎶 Also, I’ve seen Jimmy Buffett a whole bunch of times; and I think he’s covered this every time I’ve seen him. 💜💜💜

I don’t like the group but there’s one song that’s you like great song
You like Harmony's checkout helplessly hoping
Last verse was cut out. It was the best one.
