I often wonder if Crosby had been a mechanic or something we wouldn’t have the masterpieces he has created throughout the years. Incredible song writer.
Very sorry dale. God bless him. I often think of doing it too but I cant hurt the people around me. I feel like a cowered sometimes. I really Love this song and want it played at my funeral.
@@Dawg93 exactly. based on BigMamaCass' aesthetic preference, Crosby made the dubious transition from alto/high tenor perfection to the ''difficult'' middle harmony [the Byrds only rarely used 3 parts, to emphasise Crosby's role], leaving the nasal Mancunian's nails-on-slate falsetto as CSN's legacy. which turned out to be where the $$ is. doot-doo doo-doo, duhduh doo diddy-doot
sunkentree: you seem to have scarpered, so here's your comment and my response: @r p - we get it you know about some musician's dirty laundray. can we say nice things about mr crosby without any further ado? @sunkentree: did your rage keep you from finishing my comment? david crosby is heaven-bound for his Byrds harmonies. the CSN debauchery and his general need to debase perceived rivals [ask me for the list] is what's gonna keep him in purgatory for what appears to be a long time
Always the odd chords and time-signatures, and moody, spacey atmosphere with Croz' songs. Never heard this one until now -- it's yet another great tune by this brilliant singer-songwriter.
Thank you for your music and creative energy and spark that I know touched so many other artists especially during those years living in Laurel Canyon. RIP David Crosby.
Growing up in the foggy, misty and laid-back Santa Cruz mountains in the '60s & '70s, I learned the feeling of melancholy at an early age. Friends too far away to visit after school and rarely even on the weekends, too dangerous road to ride my bike, all alone, no brothers or sisters, just my dog and acres & acres to hike - by myself, dreaming of friends, a girlfriend and a father without an insane temper, melancholy became my best friend. This is melancholy epitomized. Beautiful.The feeling of the '60s & '70s put to music.We were there.
I also fully understand. Grew up in the mountains of western North Carolina in the late sixties doing exactly what you did, stayed in the woods and fields with my dog's sad and dreaming. Then got drafted...what a bummer, but soon met a beautiful girl that became my wife, what a winner after all.
Cros put the genius into the Byrds Harmonies....He always went for the "odd/intelligent" interval choices, whether doing two or three parts. ....learned so much from him
Very sorry dale. God bless him. I often think of doing it too but I cant hurt the people around me. I feel like a cowered sometimes. I really Love this song and want it played at my funeral.
His NEW album is entirely composed of "new" material & no covers, as "Games" is from 1968, it's clearly not on his new album "Lighthouse" which is amazing in itself! Matt Marcie
Neat upload. Crosby's a little more subdued in his vocals at this point. The released version on CN's first album really shines with Crosby range increasing and Nash's high harmony.
In the early seventies there was a David Crosby songbook released. This song was in it. Unfortunately I lost my copy in a house flood in'78. Perhaps you could search a second hand copy out somewhere.
I can probably help you out.. I know he's a full step down standard tuning in this recording playing shapes of Am, hammering on 1st fret of 2nd string, and then to an Em shape. Then to transition from Em to Am shape, he's hammering on 2nd fret of 4th string then playing open 3rd string instantly after.. hard to explain with words, lol.. maybe I will make a guitar cover at some point if you want.
@@absolving dude you are the best for telling me all this thank you so much and if you can make a cover that would be awesome and i would instantly subscribe
No one regrets the breakup of the original Byrds more than I do, starting with the departure of Gene Clark. But if you read Johnny Rogan’s superb Byrds biography _Timeless Flight Revisited,_ you’ll realize that it was inevitable. There was no cohesion in the band any more. Fistfights; arguments over the material; arguments about control in the studio; Crosby using gigs as a platform for his political views, while the rest of the band wanted to avoid politics...everything was a fight; and of course the drugs didn’t help. You’ll see Crosby and McGuinn being nice to each other now, and McGuinn has even said (reportedly) that he regrets firing Crosby. But that’s now; back then, he knew exactly what he was doing, and why. It was just unworkable. Crosby wanted out, and would have quit if McGuinn hadn’t fired him.
If Charlie Manson had more guitar Talent, looks, a better voice, I think he'd sound like this. I always said Crosby reminded me of Manson without the criminal activity and with actual musical talent.

Precious...I hope his wife n kids hold this in their hearts 💕..I've been wanting to hear him sing Solo.
Yes, me too
This song is dedicated to my brother who tragically took his own life on 6-14-22, I miss him so much, love u bro
Very sorry dale. God bless him. I often think of doing it too but I cant hurt the people around me. I feel like a cowered sometimes. I really Love this song and want it played at my funeral.
Genuinely one of the coolest people to walk this Planet.
sure, if by cool you mean uptight arrogant narcissist ... and the greatest high harmony singer in rock history
@@rp7356isn't Nash the high harmony of CSN

Simply wonderful. Honest deep emotion, incredible voice. I love it so much
This song has been playing in my brain for a half century since the first time I heard from C&N album. With this version, for another a half century.
This song was on the first Crosby and Nash record. Simply mesmerizing....
perfect mix of words, music and images to remember David
Thank you for your music and creative energy and spark that I know touched so many other artists especially during those years living in Laurel Canyon. RIP David Crosby.
Such a undefinable voice… a universe…

I hear you. I grew up In San Francisco and used to haunt the beach, parks, streets in the fog. There is a comfort there.
JAFO - and how would you say you are now? I’m serious! How have things turned out for you?
I also fully understand. Grew up in the mountains of western North Carolina in the late sixties doing exactly what you did, stayed in the woods and fields with my dog's sad and dreaming. Then got drafted...what a bummer, but soon met a beautiful girl that became my wife, what a winner after all.
It's on the first Crosby nadh record, a much better version, with ingenious nadh harmonies the whole album is beyond super
@@ryreinhardt My sentiments exactly, in fact I'm going to listen to it now....
WOW this is beautiful❤❤❤💖💖💖🙏 Thank you!
This is just so beautiful..
Very beautiful song and photos, I love this !!!
Look at him!!!
Just beautiful... Crosby is the best..
This guy is so important, ok might be just me and my time, but trust me
50 ans plus tard ,je suis toujours sous le charme
puisse t- il reposer dans un "nirvana" de bonheur
Cros put the genius into the Byrds Harmonies....He always went for the "odd/intelligent" interval choices, whether doing two or three parts. ....learned so much from him
Beautiful song that would have won the heart of many in '68. I think that its simplicity makes it easier to reach the soul!
David was always the unknown in your face black candle..Love him for that
Though I'm a Crosby fan, I hadn't heard this before. Thanks. Also enjoyed your selection of photos to accompany the song.
The first Crosby and Nash album is top notch. check it out....
Personally, I prefer this version than the C&N album. Crosby's voice seems more... intimate. Any of the two is wonderful ;-)
i agree
Reminds me of Tin Angel by Joni.
@@debwebwilliamsYou are so right. Good call
Listening I am grateful for life .
Such a Great songwriter. Like this version best = Raw - just acoustic & vocal.
sometimes you just know you can't compete, no how much you want too, the more you want to join in, the more you love those who cam
Such beautiful photography.
Wonderful song!Thanks!👍👏
Love this Music!
Great demo version...Awesome photo collection...Thanks 4 sharing.
R.I.P. David Crosby.
Very sorry dale. God bless him. I often think of doing it too but I cant hurt the people around me. I feel like a cowered sometimes. I really Love this song and want it played at my funeral.
what a great tune!
This is kind of a Nick Drake vibe to it if you ask me but it's cool.
Beautiful wistful and reflective demo, and love the slides! :)
Beautiful, thank you
wonderful!
David Crosby's latest Album "Lighthouse" to be released everywhere Oct. 21, 2016 follow him @thedavidcrosby on Twitter
James DeWeaver this version is on there? I'll forget to look it up.
you do that wise guy! Matt Marcie
James DeWeaver what? I was asking a question. Is this song on his new album. I'll look it up. Thanks.
His NEW album is entirely composed of "new" material & no covers, as "Games" is from 1968, it's clearly not on his new album "Lighthouse" which is amazing in itself! Matt Marcie

you don't need to polish Crosby

The Byrds lost fired David Crosby of the band.
No one regrets the breakup of the original Byrds more than I do, starting with the departure of Gene Clark. But if you read Johnny Rogan’s superb Byrds biography _Timeless Flight Revisited,_ you’ll realize that it was inevitable.

It needs a little craft and polish,but what David had was really nice. And his voice...whew!
If Charlie Manson had more guitar Talent, looks, a better voice, I think he'd sound like this. I always said Crosby reminded me of Manson without the criminal activity and with actual musical talent.
what a bizzarre misinterpretation of terry melcher's verdict on cros, as told by van dyke parks: ua-cam.com/video/SiwQF-NB4Ig/v-deo.html
Oh
I prefer Eddie Van Halen!!
