One of the greatest songs ever made … as someone said in a comment on it a few years ago, “Music used to be ugly people making beautiful music, now it’s beautiful people making ugly music.”
I used to live somewhere I could see the Southern Cross six months out of the year, and I miss it. Would love to see it from the ocean someday.
Whose ugly,lol, Stills is a handsome devil, so is Graham Nash, not so much the trouble one David Crosby, but I guess I don't agree.
@@bkm2797 you’d have to ask the original commenter, lol. I just thought it was a pretty apt description of the music biz in general.
The only place you can see the southern cross in the US is Hawaii.
Will Dwyer, interesting, I thought you had to go waay south as around Australia. Thanks
There’s so much good music still being made all the time. Every time I see comments like this I can only pity those so deprived.
I don’t think they’ve done The Pretty Reckless yet. But they should. Oh, they should. And Larkin Poe has some originals that would make a good chaser for something like this song.
And, honestly, Grace Slick and Stevie Nicks were VERY pretty.
😢 Rest in peace David Crosby. 💙 Thank you for decades of such awesome music!!😭☮🎶
💔🙏Just heard... He brought Joy to all those he touched
@@laurin4405 Agreed!
He had hepatitis C, a liver transplant paid for by Phil Collins, five stents in his heart, and type 2 diabetes. According to the medical experts he should have died about 30 years ago. He quit everything except marijuana after he got out of prison. When his drug dealer died just after he traded the pink slip to his Mercedes for some cocaine, he figured he wouldn't be needing the car, so he broke into the dealer's house and stole his pink slip back so he could trade it with another drug dealer.🤣
❤🥲☮️
Back to playing with all his friends
So glad you did this song yesterday....I was able to hear David Crosby's voice the day before he left us. RIP, David Crosby.....Thank you for all the years of you sharing your voice, your music, your wisdom, your words and your life with those of us that loved you so much. Thanks you guys for your reaction and for your perfect timing in sending David off to the other side. Take care and be well. Peace.
What?!?!?! David Crosby died?
The lead on this song, both guitar and vocal, was Stephen Stills. He is, perhaps, the most under rated musician of the last 60 years. An incredible talent as this song shows. RIP David Crosby. The world is a sadder place without you.
He is not underrated. He is deservedly highly respected. Sorry it just drives me crazy when people say underrated when someone is not underrated.
100% agree
@@cachickadeeI think what he’s saying is casual music fans probably don’t realize just how prolific he was.
Amen
He is under known. Those who know of him know not to underrate him.
"Spirits are using me, larger voices calling..." -- I LOVE that line so much. This song always gives me higher truth chills, and then when they sing "she's all that I have left, and music is her name," I just start bawling. 🤷♀ One of the most transcendental songs ever.
As big as the promise of the coming day 🥰
Big fan can you check out the Motley Crue movie called the dirt?
My favorite line has always been "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 lovin' you...and the Southern Cross.
And we never failed to fail is my line
Me too. I have tears in my eyes right now.
One of my favorite songs, although this video leaves out the last verse which is one on the most poignant ever written: "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. Someone fine will come along and make me forget about loving you, and the southern cross."
I was wondering that too! 🤔
I have a greatest hits and it has the truncated version and pissed me off
Yeah cutting that last verse off is TERRIBLE
Crosby ,Stills Nash ( and later Young) were of the Woidstock "hippie" era...no Southern Rock here. During this time before heavier rock, late sixties there was folk type sings. I was in my late teens when these guys were out . Time of peace, love and great music and a lot of "partaking" in what made the artists of that time more creative and the music more of an " experience " for the listeners( most ,not all) and I happen to think they were great looking people making great music...no so artificial as so much of later decades. Old music is the best ,had more talented people .
Oh yes! I knew something was off on this.
Wow, David Crosby just passed. RIP. Uncanny timing. Thanks for all the beautiful music 🎶
First, let me just say I love you two. Secondly, I'd like to tell you about one of my best experiences in life. I'm a long-time high school science teacher, and four years ago I lead a team of other teachers and students on a trip to Peru (Machu Picchu, etc.) It was a wonderful experience, but one special moment was the night we walked out at night onto a pier that went far out into Lake Titicaca. This was just adults, the teens stayed in the hotel. So a bunch of us, all gracefully aging hippies, walked to the end of the pier. We looked up at actually, for the first time in our lives, saw the Southern Cross. One of us summoned up the song on their cell phone, and we sang and danced to it, beneath the actual star formation. I'll never forget that night.
What an awesome experience - no doubt a 'one off' you'll always remember. I'm not too fond of this whole aging 'thing' ( turned 77 this past September ). However, I know one thing for sure - we had the best music of the 20th century hands down! CSN exemplifies some of the quintessential talent of that era.
@@jaycorby Regarding your comment about 'our' music: it's absolutely true! Also, as the saying goes, for all of us, regardless of age, it's much better to be on top of the grass than under it!
The reference to the Southern Cross is a constellation visible in the Southern Hemisphere, not really having anything to do with Southern part of the US. This is one of my favorite songs ever. Harmony is beyond belief, and Steven Stills on lead is magic. The lyrics are celestial. "Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small, But it's as big as the promise, the promise of a comin' day." It speaks volumes to me.
You can see the southern cross for a few hours each night as far north as 20ish degrees north of the equator from September to March. I've never been south of the equator, and I saw it when I was at Pearl Harbor in the navy in the '80s.
basically the equivalent of the North Star, orientation and navigation
The southern cross points to the south pole just as the two end stars of the big dipper's cup line up to point to the north star (which represents the north pole as it is stationary, and it is the end star of the handle on the little dipper). Bit of trivia: The little dipper and big dipper appear to empty into each other.
Exactly !!
One of my favorite CSN songs, ironic that it is one of the few covers that they included on any of their albums. Stills shines on this track and the group’s harmonies are effervescent! I lived in Australia for high school, did a lot of sailing, saw the Southern Cross…, whenever it was nightfall. This song brings back happy days in high school, sailing off the coast of Sydney and hanging out with my high school friends…, that were huge fans…, but this album hadn’t come out yet. 😊
Jay & Amber, you'll love their "Helplessly Hoping" and "Marrakesh Express"!!!
When you get back to CSN&Y, you'll love their "Our House", "Carry On", "Find The Cost Of Freedom" and "Deja Vu"!!!
I saw CSN in concert August 1982, and Graham Nash when he opened for Joan Armatrading in July 1986.
A huge yes for Carry On!
Helplessly Hoping is probably my favorite!
Waisted On The Way, another hit by them👍✌️
Yes to all of these and more
@@TheHeatherjane Mine too ! Was going to suggest J&A try it !
That’s Stephen Stills on that smooth as butter lead vocal
Stills wrote this while on a boat trip. He was trying to process and heal from his divorce. He describes how by harnessing nature's power, one can heal.
One of my absolutely favorite songs. So relatable. "Think about how many times I have fallen."
This song reminds me of the group seals and cross this sounds like
This is not a Southern band. It’s a California band…the LA sound, actually. When they created CSN, they wanted to be able to sing harmonies so tight that it sounded like one voice! Stephen Stills is singing lead on this one. You should watch a documentary on how they got together and became a group. They are a Supergroup, coming from The Byrds, The Hollies, and Buffalo Springfield. Thanks to people like Mama Cass, they found each other. It’s a great story, including how Neil Young joined the group.
"Southern Cross" is a constellation that best be seen at night on an ocean on your own (big) boat. That was Stephen Stills.
@@boblozaintherealworld3577 I believe it's also the sail boat on the cover of their CSN album which came out in the 70's.
Also you can only view the Southern Cross constellation from the southern hemisphere (south of the equator).
Stills is a Ruston, Louisiana guy. Same town that would later give us Neutral Milk Hotel and Elephant 6
"Echo in the Canyon" from 2019 is a great documentary about the musicians who lived in or hung out together in Laurel Canyon in the late 60s. It was put together by Jakob Dylan, son of Bob Dylan and lead singer of The Wallflowers, who interviews a lot of the surviving participants of the day. There's also a great soundtrack that goes with it. In it, Jakob sings duets with musicians from both then AND more recent times, covering music of the period. Several artists such as Beck (not to be confused with the late Jeff Beck), It does mention CSNY, but the focus is on the "Laurel Canyon sound", which CSNY was a big part of. Highly recommended!
CS&N is one of, if not the first groups that I can recall having such wonderful harmonies. Their harmonies are timeless.
RIP David Crosby. Thank you for being a big part of the soundtrack to my childhood.
Stephen Stills is the lead singer on this one. I believe he wrote it, too. Great song! Great react!
Also playing the electric guitar at the end that caught Ambers ear 😉
Beat me to it.
My father (who passed in 2019) usually preferred classical music over contemporary, but he LOVED CS&N. This was one of his favorites. I can't hear this song without thinking of him. Love ya, Dad. "Wasted on the Way" or "Just a Song Before I Go" are also fantastic songs by them. As for which is which - If you freeze on when they are standing in a line, Stephen Stills (on the right) is the one doing the lead vocals. Graham Nash is in the middle, and David Crosby (the one with the thick mustache) is on the left.
@@db4982 Thanks. He was 80 (which is actually longer than most of the men in my family have lived), and seeing him suffer from dementia was terrible. I'm just thankful he passed before the COVID madness started. BTW, "Green Onions" is a great song, and I'm hoping J&A get around to doing that one soon!
@@Shrykespeare I did a lot of barefoot dancing to "Green Onions" in our living room when I was about 9 years old!
My condolences to you for your Wonderful Dad.
RIP Crosby. you had style you had grace you had an amazing voice.
He brought Joy to us ALL through his Art... He will be missed💔🙏
There have been some amazing musicians who've achieved Mr. Fantasy status (if it was the straight life he had, we wouldn't have known him all these years). He really struggled and I feel we were blessed when he shared his voice. The first time I heard Hold My Hand (Hootie & The Blowfish) I said, No Way, call me crazy but I think I just heard David Crosby singing back up!!! Play it again....NOW!!!
It’s crazy that you played this just a day or so ago. 😢DAVID CROSBY HAS PASSED. 😓 There will never be another to match the harmonies that Crosby, Stills, Nash, (and Young) delivered. Beautiful easy songs. RIP David Crosby. Your music keeps warming hearts every day and will for generations. ❤🙏🏼🕊
One of my favorite songs of all time. It's beautifully sad. About realizing that your relationship is over and accepting it. "We never failed to fail" is a hard truth.
But also about being okay with yourself and finding balance even so. "She is all that I have left, _and Music is her name!_ "
It was the easiest thing to do.
It's too bad this is an edited, short version, completely missing that verse. :/
This song is 40 years old and is as beautiful as the day it was released.
This song has special meaning to me... but it's also one of their best... I'll be a fan forever...😊❤
R.I.P. David Crosby. Thank you for your music not just from Crosby, Steele, Nash & Young but from when you were with The Byrd's. Your music is what put you in the Rock -n- Roll Hall Fame not once but twice under two different bands.🥲
Stephen Stills was the lead singer on this one. He did "Love the One You're With." Great talent in this group. ☮🧡🎶
"As I Come of Age" is another top Stills song.
Agree with the great talent part, Graham Nash with Just a Song Before I Go is another example. Written on the way to the airport. :)
RIP David Crosby loved your tunes
Steven Stills has one of the best voices that is rarely if ever included in the top ones. it's so pure.
Those harmonies are on point!. This song was meant to be sang like this. What a loss it would have been for us to not ever have been able to hear these voices and this amazing song 😢 💔 ❤ 😔 💙 😪 😢 💔
Because David Crosby did not reunite with Stills and Nash until the album was well underway, his vocals are not featured on the album version, although he did appear in the video and subsequently sang the song with the group in live performances. This song also features Timothy B. Schmit (from Poco AND The Eagles) on background vocals.
He overdubbed his vocal for the single.
Well, when he WAS there he was so wasted he could barely function. But one of my favorite Crosby songs came from this album - "Delta". Jackson Browne forced him to sit at the piano and finish the song, even though Crosby wanted to wander off and get high(er). It was the last song he wrote before he went to prison and got off the drugs.
@@willdwyer6782 Never heard that Crosby's voice was overdubbed on the single before. Where do you get that info from?
CS&N will go down in history as one of the greatest bands of their era. and Amber is so right when she says they are simple..... they do the simple things so well. RIP David, a troubled soul finally at rest.
RIP D. Crosby. Southern Cross is so sweet listening to those harmonies.
I have loved this song sense it first came out, sadly you got the radio edit not the entire song. the last verse explains so much. Keep rocking guys, ill include the last verse here:
[Verse 3]
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, make me forget about loving you
In the Southern Cross
I knew that was missing! I was driving through a heavy rain and couldn't comment at the time.
Yeah, a lot of the reactions to this song use this truncated version. Unfortunate.
Yeah, that last verse is so important. Also, the audio on this video isn't great. Peace, everyone!
@@mainmanjimmiblue The audio on this vid is HORRIBLE, especially considering how beautifully produced this album was! And to edit the last verse? smh...
I thought it was just my crappy good headphones, but yes, the audio on this is hirribke and why would you eave out type past verse? smh too
One of my most favorite songs ever. I have sailed below the equator twice and seen the Southern Cross. Amazingly beautiful. Am a Navy Shellback !
Stupid Question, from a landlubber, What IS the southern cross?
@@chuckragland9972 Southern Cross is a constellation.
Navy family here. Dad is a blue shellback, hubby has both golden and emerald.
The Southern Cross is a star constellation only visible below the equator …just amazing when at sea with no earthly lights to impede the view and effects.
Thank you for your service 🇺🇸 I bet that was a beautiful thing to see 🙋🏻♀️
A filling memorial , You will be missed M r Crosby.
Who knew you two would experience this great song the day before David Crosby passed. His voice and songs are treasures.
I'm so happy you listened to this one! It's actually my favorite out of all of the beautiful C,S & N songs. Glad you loved it! Stephen Stills, who sings lead, wrote this song after a terrible divorce, in which he was left with just his boat. He took off sailing the Pacific, and wrote this during the voyage.
Once again, I want to recommend Dragonforce's "Through the Fire and the Flame." You will be amazed!
Sadly, David Crosby passed away today. May he RIP.
Well sort of. He did take a boat trip after his divorce and when he wrote the lyrics he used that as an inspiration, but the boat trip and divorce were some time before he wrote this, and this song is actually a rewritten version of Rick and Michael Curtis' "Seven League Boots." In Stills' own words: "I was given somebody's gem and cut and polished it."
@@tonydenucci3684 he would have died years ago if he didn't go to prison. He was crazy. His drug dealer died just after he traded him the pink slip to his Mercedes in exchange for some blow, so he broke into the dealer's house and stole his pink slip back so he could trade it again.🤣
LOVE THIS SONG!!!!
One of my favorites!!!
More:
1. Marrakesh Express
2. Teach Your Children
great harmonies!!!
RIP David Crosby....sail on.
Every song I've ever heard about sailing, even sea shanties, take me away and I can almost smell the salt water!!!
Great song! "Wasted on the Way" is cool too
My favorite of theirs!👍✌️
And we never failed to fail. It was the easiest thing to do.... THIS hit me hard at one time 30 years ago or so... and lit a fire under my ass.
Vale - David Crosby
One of the best & greatest Singer/Musicians has passed away aged 81.
Along with his mates Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and Neil Young, Crosby created some of the most iconic late 60's & early 70's music.
I know they started in the mid-60's, though to me they epitomise WOODSTOCK.
The Vocal harmonies rival anyone else in the music world.
Their Guitar work and their sublime Bass lines were ground-breaking and ahead of their time.
Even as a very young child I knew their music was very special.
RIP Mate, thanks for all the musical joy you brought us.
RIP David Crosby you filled our youth with song.
The harmonies of Crosby and Nash in the chorus sends chills down my back every time I hear it. One of their best works.
Me too but I think you mean Nash and Stills. Crosby did not sing on the song for the album but obviously performed it live numerous times. He’s in the video, yes, but this was done way after the song was released
@@Foxyjk50 Yep. David was in rehab at the time this song was recorded, so they brought in a few other singers to help out: Art Garfunkel, and Timothy B. Schmit. Pretty good substitutes, if you ask me...
@@moosecat Actually - the group had broken up and Crosby was only brought back in because Atlantic Records let Nash and Stills know that they wouldn't release the album or pay for it if Crosby was not involved. He brought a couple of songs and his contribution to vocals was severely limited and - of course - not used at all in this song.
@@moosecat yes, in rehab. And I agree, they sound wonderful on this track!
@@BobSoltis1 It's funny how the groups known for their vocal harmonies are usually the ones that have the most acrimonious histories and break-ups.
AAAAH! I'm so happy! I've been saying for a year y'all need to hear these guys for real! Their Woodstock recording of Suite Judy Blue Eyes not only sounds nothing like the studio recording, but the second and third movements aren't even on the live Woodstock recording, because it wouldn't have translated without the bass, drums, etc.
So you've heard the abbreviated and puny sound version of "Suite Judy Blue Eyes" and possibly THE most campfire/acoustic-feeling song they have, "Teach Your Children". Don't judge them as "easy listening" by just these songs. Imagine if you had decided what the Beatles were all about based on the first two or three songs you heard.
They do have songs that rock (especially when they're joined by Neil Young). At the very least, you'd call most of their catalog "folk rock" and not "easy listening" or even "soft rock". Maybe "yacht rock" lol. You gotta hear their version of Joni Mitchell's song, "Woodstock." It rocks; the Neil Young guitar lead right from the top is nice and crunchy. You gotta hear their version of "Wooden Ships" (cowritten by members of CSN and Jefferson Airplane); it's got a great kind of psychedelic feel.
Please listen to the studio version of "Suite Judy Blue Eyes", if not for a reaction, at least as a favor to yourselves. The studio version is an entirely different song, and far superior. They scored that Woodstock gig coming off one of the hottest debut albums of all time, but the Woodstock gig was not long after band formation, so they really weren't ready, and the recording was crap to boot.
Love y'all's music and movie reactions, as always!
RIP David Crosby (1/19/23). Thank you for so many years of beautiful music and harmonies. Rest easy. BTW, that voice you were speaking about is Stephen Stills.
Not simple at all. These harmonists are so rare and precious.
If you guys like harmonies, nobody did it better than The Eagles. You should hear Seven Bridges Road. And while listening to it, remember it was recorded live (and 5 voices). The best harmony I’ve ever heard.
Seven Bridges Road is a GREAT song. I had forgotten about it. At my age, there is a lot about the 70s and 80s that I don't remember. 🪴
Seven Bridges Road has such great harmonies it's like they were just showing off. In a good way!
I'm a couple days behind and I came on here to specifically recommend "Seven Bridges Road." Glad y'all beat me to it. My late great rock hating dad fell in love with Eagles because of their harmonies which are unbelievable in this song! Absolute perfection recorded live! And, the sadly haunting "Hole in the World" about 9/11 shows they never lost it.
ua-cam.com/video/9-sQfOIXGb8/v-deo.html
While their harmonies were great, I believe CSN's were unmatched.
There is a verse that wasn’t included in this video.
So we cheated, and we lied, and we tested
And we never failed to fail
It was the easiest thing to do do
You will survive being bested
Somebody fine will come along
Make me forget about loving you
And the Southern Cross
Maybe try to find the longer version to listen to.
Love this song, and this channel. Be Safe and Be Blessed Rob Squad Family.
The last part was edited out. Probably to keep it short, just like they used to do on AM radio stations in the 1970s and earlier.
My fav verse of the entire song. Hits me every time.
Always annoys me when people react to the edited song and don’t look for the full version!!!
@@budpangan They were still doing that throughout the 80s & 90s. The single-edit was designed for top 40 stations that had to meet a demand of playing as many songs as possible, every hour.
@@kasheppard503 Well, if you're not familiar with which is which, how would they even know about it? It IS frustrating, though.
The most beautiful song by CSN.....my favorite
The Southern Cross is a constellation that's visible in the southern hemisphere. This is a beautiful song,
Absolutely love this song, verses choruses harmonies
Crosby, Stills and Nash released this as their second single from their 1982 album " Daylight Again".
Southern Cross refers to the Crux Constellation in the southern hemisphere
that has been used in naval navigation forever.
Their beautiful harmonies are spot on and as sweet as honey. The acoustic guitars are a perfect addition. Great time for music. 🎶🎶🎶 Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
We Love our Canadian Brothers and Sisters!🥰
👍✌️🇨🇦🎶🤗❤️
Crux is visible as far north as Hawaii for half the year.
One reason the harmonies sound so good is Art Garfunkel and Anthony B Smit are singing background. Crosby actually didn't sing on it.
@@jmwsr474 Timothy B Schmitt?
R.I.P. Mr. David Crosby, Thank You the memories and the harmonies
Stephen Still is simply underrated in every aspect. The entire first record, that's him playing every instrument essentially. Oddly, he was not picked to be one of "The Monkees" because of his teeth....the role went to his roommate at the time, Peter Tork. Wonder had he been in The Monkees, would CSN ever form?
David Crosby's gift is simply pure harmony. You sing a melody, and he'll drop a harmony so perfect...
Yes, and he does it instantly from the first practice, I read! What a gift besides being an excellent guitarist.
Crosby isn't singing on this tune (at least not this studio version). He was basically dealing with legal problems....in fact he may have been in jail during it's recording. That being said, you're hearing Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, and Timothy B. Schmit (bass player/singer for the Eagles).
@@jeffwestcott6902 I think Crosby was in rehab. I believe Art Garfunkel also helped on vocals.
@@moosecat That's probably what it was. I knew he wasn't on the song, and was used spottily on the record....song still sounds amazing.
@@jeffwestcott6902 Yes, that's true. He made it on.the video and also sang it live on tours. You know ole' Dave!
You know your relationship is on the rocks when the following line describes how you treat each other. "We never failed to fail. It was the easiest thing to do."
I wish this wasn't the chopped version and had included that verse!
RIP David Crosby. Thanks for decades of my life's soundtrack.
Passed today. RIP David Crosby 1/19/2023
I believe their first gig together was at Woodstock!❤❤❤❤❤no! It was their second gig!
Timothy B Schmidt from Eagles (I Can’t Tell You Why singer) sings backing vocals in this.
:-)
Very timely because one day after your reaction, David Crosby passed which is today. RIP David you were one of the big voices of my generation
May David Crosby rest in peace. He was an icon and one of my heros of the 70"s.
That solo voice is Steve Stills -the man in the red cap!
Finally thank goodness for reference the Southern Cross is the Crux constellation which can be viewed from most of the Southern Hemisphere. The four brightest stars form a cross pattern and used as a guide for sailors and seafarers.
Rest in Peace David Crosby. Thanks for the decades of awesome music!
Rest easy David Crosby. Passed away yesterday 81 y.o. sing with the Angels 🙏
I've got a new band for you to hear ..they are called Poco and there song is "Crazy love" it's got a real smooth southern rock sound..... enjoy
🎸Poco's Live version of 💮"Magnolia"💮 just Melts me💦... Just SO Smooooth and Chill
"EVERYBODY I LOVE YOU", "WOODEN SHIPS",
"4 & 20", " CARRY ON", "ALMOST CUT MY HAIR", " WOODSTOCK",ALL ARE GREAT!!🎵🎶🎸🎶🎵
Just before watching this i learned David Crosby has past away another light has gone out thank's for the music RIP
Wife here..., Have and will forever love this song!!!...It gives me such an inner peace..Rest in Peace ..David Crosby
Love this song, but this isn't the full version! If you guys find a longer one, it continues with "So we cheated and we lied, and we tested". Definitely give the last verse a listen; it really ties everything together. A beautiful song about loss, failed relationships and moving on, set to some beautiful imagery.
Pretty song, made me smile. I see the Southern Cross each night from my yard 🇭🇲
Where is your location, may I ask?
@@maryreilly5092 hi Mary, I live in Wollongong NSW, about 50 miles/ 80 kilometres south of Sydney

@@maryreilly5092 thank you Mary, you made me smile. What state do you live in if its okay?
@@terryallen345 Florida!!
"THE LEE SHORE" is a stunning c.s.n.y song a real hippy laid back classic 1969 an absolute gorgeous track a real beauty for reaction, great reaction to a great band. ; )
R.I.P. Dave Crosby, age 81, thank you for your amazing vocals and songs you gave us throughout the years, condolences to his family and friends
This was great live, too. Stills is a legend.
This is my favorite song ever. I can't explain why, but it touches me in a way no other song ever has. For some reason, this version left off the last gorgeous verse: "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, in the Southern Cross."
Rip Legend David Crosby gone at 81.😢
I just get lost in the harmonies of this song. One of the best ever.
Please do the studio version of Suite Judy Blue Eyes - the Woodstock performance cut off before the best part of the song
CSN&Y was outstanding as were the members - they came from Buffalo Springfield, the Hollies and the Byrds
Music from all of them is worth exploring
If you want to hear one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded, check out Crosby Stills and Nash with "Lady Of the Island." Amber will have goosebumps. Another of their really great songs is "Wooden Ships." Honestly, you could pick most any song off their first two albums, especially the first one.
Harmonies? Yes, great harmonies are a wonderful thing. "Seven Bridges Road" from The Eagles live album is a phenomenal 5 part harmony that never disappoints.
Alot of people don't realize what a great guitar player Stephen Stills is.
Amber and Jordan, it's been a long time since we heard this group. The Eagles,-(Desperado)'73. Keep up with the good work 😎👍
They REALLY need to check out the Eagles 7 Bridges road!! The live version.
@@chuckragland9972 yes they do. Trying to get them to come back to them.
Cool song! Try the instrumental “Classical Gas” by Mason Williams from 1969! Awesome!🤘🔥
RIP David Crosby, your music lives on!
Stephen Stills was in Buffalo Springfield, David Crosby was in The Birds, and Graham Nash was in The Hollies.
You should listen to the song Woodstock, or anything from their album, déjà vu
They haven't lost a thing. The lyrics, the harmonies, the total package. Love this song.
R.I.P David Crosby.
So sad he passed away 1 day after you did this video. ❤️☮️
Godspeed to one of the all-time greats…. Mr David Crosby RIP
This is my favorite CSN song of all time. This is a Southern California sound from Laurel Canyon. Many groups such as The Mamas and The Papas, The Eagles, Jackson Browne, etc. made the music scene in Laurel Canyon.
Really nothing to do with Laurel Canyon or the gang from there. The song is based on Seven League Boots written by the Curtis Brothers who recorded it with Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, and Thom Mooney. Stephen Stills just wrote different lyrics.
@@BobSoltis1 I wasn't talking about the song itself. I was talking about CSN's sound.
@@thomasgill2358 Since you started with "This is my favorite song of all time" I sort of thought you might have been referring to that sound. LOL!
The "Laurel Canyon Sound" is nothing more than a catchy new descriptive of a sound ("folk rock") that got it's start in numerous venues in places such as Yorkville, Greenwich Village, and California.
Most people only know of Laurel Canyon's link to music due to a popular TV documentary. The tons of marketing to ride that wave have made "Laurel Canyon Sound" a popular - but dubious - new descriptive.
My favorite from CSNY is Almost Cut My Hair with David Crosby singing lead vocals and Neil Young’s guitar and Steven Stills’ guitar also! Awesome, different from some of their others!!❤️
RIP David Crosby. He's very recognizable in the band, with his big bushy moustache, and we sadly lost him today.
This is one of Stephen Stills’ loveliest compositions. He is very hard of hearing, by the way, and has always managed to sing and play beautifully. A genius.
CSN&Y have so many great songs! This is a fav - if you want great harmonies you need to check out The Eagles’ “Seven Bridges Road” - I can listen to it on a loop!
🌉"Seven Bridges Road" is right behind Live, Acoustic version of "Hotel California" from Hell Freezes Over Concert as my All-Time Favorite Eagles songs... The song on Hell Freezes Over plays for a few minutes before the crowd recognizes it... I had a similar reaction first time I heard it... Was so striking, that I remember that Instant all these MANY years later🦅
Perfect song!!!!
Great harmonies on all of their songs!!
“Marrakesh Express “
bouncy tune (different than a lot of songs) and harmonies!!!
Ps. I don’t think anyone has reacted to this one yet … you guys could be the first!!!
We lost David Crosby the other day. Amazing he lived to be 81! He had a rough life and health for a long time. RIP to one of a kind.
RIP David Crosby thank you for all the great music
From the album *Daylight Again* (1982). Jimmy Buffett frequently covers this song, which is one of my favorites. Another favorite is Carry On.
