At 68 we got our dream house in the country. Everything is easy due to all my wifes hard work. Last night someone dumped off two kittens that found their way to our back porch where we sit. Crying and eating cornbread the wife threw out for the birds, the wife adopted them and fed them tuna. So now we have two cats in the yard. I never thought after all these years that would be me. Been in love 61 years and married 48.
Not to rub it in but I had that and I can tell you first hand its priceless .I am now 61 and as happy as ever because it never goes away I wish you well in the future.
Now at 71 reflecting back and knowing how fortunate I was to grow up on these incredible artists. Music has always filled my heart & soul - it energizes me. In appreciation to them all.
Brought a tear to my eyes recently hearing the song 'Our House' by Joni Mitchell again. I was watching tv series 'This is us.' Off now to source the album.
This song reminds me of my father. These are the kind of songs he used to play every morning when we were kids and now that I have my own kids, these are the songs I am singing. And also because it helps me remember my Papa who died 2 years ago. This is one of the songs that makes me feel he is just right there singing with me. Classic is GOLD.
I once saw Graham talking about when Joni ended their relationship because she thought they were too young and it would ultimately stifle them. She said to him " if you squeeze the sand in your fist too tight it slips between your fingers "
Graham was 27 and Joni was 26 when the first met. Too young? I don't think so. Back in those days getting married at that age was considered LATE. I don't get it.
Such a heart felt performance by Graham. I was 10 when this song first came on the radio and it's beauty and lyrics resonated with me then. Even after all these years it's still does, like an old friend.
Grew up listening CSN...Brings tears and a smile.Joni Mitchell And Graham Nash lived together back then,and this song was written after breakfast and Joni bought a vase from an antique shop.When they got home he went to light a fire and she put some flowers in the vase...How cool is that👏
Bravo, bravisimo Mr. Nash, thanks for that beautiful song that makes me remember the most beautiful moments of my childhood. thank you Mr. Nash, Good Bless you
God Bless UA-cam so we can reach out these timeless beauties like this one ! What a city poem for Joni and for the World ! So simple and so deep into our souls ! Thank you Mr Nash for giving us this beautiful after breakfast treasure!
Yes, it's been obvious to many. They were not together very long but it must have been intense. Graham has been busy. Not all that happy he changed his life. Divorced in 2016 I think. Moved to New York to be with his girlfriend (half his age) She's a film maker & photographer. Also, Graham is an exciting photographer and has had some shows. Look him up. They are wonderful!
Yes...both joni and graham havnt been really happy without each other, thats my belief anyway, youve only got to listen to jonis blue and graham nash's songs for beginners to realise that.
How can Graham still sound so good? Because he's a pro, that's why. And he took good care of himself. He's also probably the one person who could play their own song at this concert and have it fit in so perfect. Listening to it now as I type, I can only marvel that his vocal quality actually *improves* as he goes along. Must say, he makes a good piano accompanist to the audience :)
There is the most beautiful house at the end of the street.....A beautiful couple owns it ... I don't think of.this House when I hear this song I think of the Earth cabin I baked pies in and loaded A woodstove to cook on. Snow ,pines ,trees, coyotes, foxes, bears , and candles. Thank You CSNY
@Graham Nash Wow! What a great honor! Thanks a lot Graham. I follow your career since the days of the Hollies. I am from Perú. Here it was not easy to get the original records so I still cherish like a treasure my albums For Certain Because, Evolution and Butterly. I am 12 years younger than you. Let me tell you that for me Evolution is one of the best albums ever, specially because of your contribution. And I have always loved the singles King Midas in Reverse and Open Up Your Eyes. Just a little story about how is to be the "soundtrack of our lives". I was a kid trying to make out with my first girlfriend while playing chess in the living room with her parents in the dining room. We both liked the song The Games We play from Evolution and played it on an on. We were living exactly those lyrics. I also have the solo records. Since Songs for Beginners to This Path Tonight. There is something timeless and inspiring in your music that I enjoy a lot. Keep well dear master.
i didnt know he wrote this song, it was popular when i was a kid back in england. I just got off a chat with graham, our parents were close friends back in his salford days, mum babysat him and his parents babysat my sister. I ended up in grahams old stroller when I was a baby too. Thats how it was back then, we had nothing. Trust me, our houses had no garden with cats, it was all cobble stone streets, slate roofs and , well pretty much a humble slum. He stayed humble, true to his roots.
Love Graham, Love Joni -- I would have never left this guy!!! Beautiful -- Thanks, Lou. Thinking of you and wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving with your friends gathered around. Wish I were there Thursday with all of you. Sending love your way dear friend.
His love for her is still there in this video . He said in a interview She broke up with him because She thought he wanted her to give up music and be a house wife ..He said that was no farther from the truth to him. He said he would never try to do that to such a talented woman.
Got the house back, huh? That didn't age too well. Still, Graham and Joni will always be legends. Songs For Beginners, Court & Spark, Wild Tales, Blue, For The Roses...pure gold.
I first heard this song on an LP from Crosby Nash Stills and Young and loved it but thought it was unlike their other songs. I only learned recently that it was written for Joni and it has new meaning.
Knowing who Graham Nash, Joni Mitchell, and James Taylor are will automatically make you a great potential friend to me. :D
I relate sister
Our house is very very very fine house.
That would make me a potential friend of yours then :) !!

Living in a house filled with love was all I ever really wanted in life. Maybe I will still find it one day.
Bjarne Smith I hope it does.
You and me both!
🙏🏼❤️
Look for it inside first and the rest will follow... love yourself Bjarne
Not to rub it in but I had that and I can tell you first hand its priceless .I am now 61 and as happy as ever because it never goes away I wish you well in the future.
Nash sounds good. His voice has held up well over the years.
The audience did a great job of singing this song. That is how much that song is part of our memory.
I thought that was very touching and I think Graham did as well.
Now at 71 reflecting back and knowing how fortunate I was to grow up on these incredible artists. Music has always filled my heart & soul - it energizes me. In appreciation to them all.
Just imagine someone writing such a heart felt love song about you, I find this just inspiring and beautiful
Imagine having this song written for you...
Or having Steven Stills write a suite for you ;-)
when songs had terrific words and music that we all understood and loved.
We were so privileged growing up with song writers like this.
He will always love her...... and that’s a beautiful thing.
All these years later the song is still beautiful. Thank you.
Never lost it. I bet he took good care of himself
Time NEVER diminishes a great song.
@@unclebobunclebob Yes, so it is. Once good, for always good!
oh my god his voice is crystal clear !!
Yes. His voice has not changed since he wrote this song at 27.
Its gotta really impact Joni, to go right back to that time, 1970, a remarkable moment in US culture (and counter-culture).
@@bernlin2000 heard she broke couple hearts back then 😄
brings a tear to the eye ...... seems such a long time ago
Me too Sara...me too
It WAS a long time ago
Unfortunately it is a long time ago but doesn't mean we can't listen to music and go back to that time

Sorry for your loss, Hope the music helps❤
Amen! to that......
Nice meory. For me this song reminds me of Joni Mitchelle. I love her window.
Oh, the songwriting talent in that house.
love love love
This is really moving and it is obvious that it was for Graham Nash too.
Written about the house Graham & Joni Mitchell shared in Laurel Canyon,California in the late 60's-early 70's-Fantastic song.
I once saw Graham talking about when Joni ended their relationship because she thought they were too young and it would ultimately stifle them. She said to him " if you squeeze the sand in your fist too tight it slips between your fingers "

@@johnadams5489 she was letting him down gently
@@johnadams5489 ah you gotta listen to Blue by Joni to get the rest
@@johnadams5489 he was prob too controlling, joni is a free spirit she''s not the type to be tied down.
@@nataleasys9432
I have the Joni's Blue album as we as a number of otheres.
I GrewUp w/Divorced Parents..

Parents.. But I Made it w/1
Loving Strong Mother Who Hit Like a DAD.. Thanks Mom
♥️🌟💖💖🙏🙏🌟♥️
Amazing! This song always tears me up, can't believe the quality of his voice after all this time.
All you young ones in love, heading out into the world, this was written for you.
Gives me tears. Brings up so many memories. One of the sweetest songs that I’ve ever heard. Thanks Graham and Joni. ❤️☮️
This Is Us brought me here
Same here
Me too!
Same..
This is us brought me here 2
Me too,! such memories!
at 76 Graham Nash still can cut it.
Such a heart felt performance by Graham. I was 10 when this song first came on the radio and it's beauty and lyrics resonated with me then. Even after all these years it's still does, like an old friend.
Grew up listening CSN...Brings tears and a smile.Joni Mitchell And Graham Nash lived together back then,and this song was written after breakfast and Joni bought a vase from an antique shop.When they got home he went to light a fire and she put some flowers in the vase...How cool is that👏
Joni Mitchell also lived, prior to Graham Nash, with Bob Dylan
Why my eyes are teary?
This brought me out in goosebumps
I think it's safe to say that the ethereal quality of the acoustic mixture that is CSN came from Graham. I can hear the tenor harmonies and shiver...
In the 60’s the Hollies were one of my favourite bands besides the Beatles! Nice to think that I knew about him before America did! The best times!
The Hollies were great!
This beautiful song is eternal, because real love is forever.
You can see at the end he was caught in the emotion of their one time love. Beautiful.
Thank God, I lived during this Rock era when it was King.
How can Graham Nash possibly be in such terrific voice??? Almost criminal that he retired so long ago. So glad I stumbled on this.
Actually he didn't retire. You might be confusing him with former Hollies lead singer Allan Clarke who did indeed retire a long time ago.
I saw him summer of 2017
That's him. In this video. Still singing. Still performing. Still tours. as in, not retired.
Seeing him tonight!
bluecrownblue I saw him 10 days ago in Halifax on tour. He is in fine voice, indeed. He has not retired.
im 36 now, first time i remember hearing this song is when I was 5. my dad and i absolutely love this song.
I remember this tune from when I was only a young kid. It was on the Halifax advert in the uk late 80s early 90s
Oh boy, do I wish I was only five when I first heard this song... :-)
With 2 cats in the yard...life used to be so hard..now everything is so easy because of you..
its not like that anymore..Woke culture has killed family.
Michael Steven sad but true
rocked my 3rd baby boy to this many nights love you, Brendan.
Carolyn, I did the same with my daughter 35 years ago. Such a wonderful time for me.
Bravo, bravisimo Mr. Nash, thanks for that beautiful song that makes me remember the most beautiful moments of my childhood. thank you Mr. Nash, Good Bless you
Mr Nash
It still sounds great after all these years. Graham is such a witty fellow.
I saw him perform last year and it was beautiful, and what a show and what a voice!
God Bless UA-cam so we can reach out these timeless beauties like this one ! What a city poem for Joni and for the World ! So simple and so deep into our souls ! Thank you Mr Nash for giving us this beautiful after breakfast treasure!
Yes. The great people who have passed will live forever here.
Graham is a God....shine on...
WOW he's amazing. Still so beautiful. Making me tear up.
I am smiling.
I'm crying. So beautiful
amazing, I've loved that song for over forty years
This gave me chills! Graham Nash is super, super talented!!!
The whole of his life Graham was in love with Joan.
Who hasn't been?
Graham & all the rest of us too, lol.
Joni
Yes, it's been obvious to many. They were not together very long but it must have been intense. Graham has been busy. Not all that happy he changed his life. Divorced in 2016 I think. Moved to New York to be with his girlfriend (half his age) She's a film maker & photographer. Also, Graham is an exciting photographer and has had some shows. Look him up. They are wonderful!
Yes...both joni and graham havnt been really happy without each other, thats my belief anyway, youve only got to listen to jonis blue and graham nash's songs for beginners to realise that.
happy birthday Joni!
He sounded pretty much the same at 76 as he did at 27.
Listen to his voice at 74..wonderful, what happens, happens re: Joni.
How can Graham still sound so good? Because he's a pro, that's why. And he took good care of himself. He's also probably the one person who could play their own song at this concert and have it fit in so perfect.

Dont know why im crying watching this
There is the most beautiful house at the end of the street.....A beautiful couple owns it ... I don't think of.this
House when I hear this song
I think of the Earth cabin
I baked pies in and loaded A woodstove to cook on.
Snow ,pines ,trees, coyotes, foxes, bears , and candles.
Thank You CSNY
My goodness, thank you so much for this....
For me... One of the best... Salute . Sir Graham...
Great Graham Nash and sweet memories for Joni, him and all of us

One of my all time favorites brings back old memories. Thanks Graham Nash
Can't help but be moved by this one...such a heartfelt lyrics, so much love for such little things, the stuff love is made of.
Great job Graham! Beautiful.
It’s so elating when people sing your song!! It’s truly mind illuminating Graham!
Graham Nash wrote many of my very favorites songs. Many of them are fairly simple, but great songs, like Teach your children and many others,
i didnt know he wrote this song, it was popular when i was a kid back in england.
I just got off a chat with graham, our parents were close friends back in his salford days, mum babysat him and his parents babysat my sister.
I ended up in grahams old stroller when I was a baby too. Thats how it was back then, we had nothing.

Timeless!!!
as the day begins the night falls and then there is a new sunrise creating a new morning for the next day
thank you old friend...............................
Love Graham, Love Joni -- I would have never left this guy!!! Beautiful -- Thanks, Lou. Thinking of you and wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving with your friends gathered around. Wish I were there Thursday with all of you. Sending love your way dear friend.
But for the past 6 years, he's been with a woman who is half his age.
Joni had to make a terrible choice. It was her own life as a singer/songwriter in her own right or become Graham Nash's wife.
👍🏻👍🏻❤❤my fav CSNY sing ... a classic. Great audience participation too
How flipping special is that? Love it!!! (Memories galore).
Very special!
Joni always brought out the best in all.
Beautiful classic ❤
THANK YOU
So beautiful.
Liked it so much more when singers just sang.
I love this. This song puts a smile on my face! :)
That was amazing. Wow.
peace love health and happiness...
This such a sweet ding that I can't help my tears, it touches my heart so deeple! Wonderful 😊
Run!!! NOW!!! Shut down and FRUCKING RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Omg, perfection
Perfect in every way,,,,
Su voz tan clara y dulce, Dios que maravillosa de ese tiempo y ese espectacular filme.

Thank you

Absolutely wonderful!
Gorgeous. Tears here.
Just as good the second time around!
AMAZING TALENT PERIOD
cant wait to see Graham in port washington this october!
was there at Pt Washington
This is just gorgeous
I love the song.
I am now off to source it.
Very very good hats off to the sound tech’s for that mix
I came here after watching a clip of Joni Anderson and thought about all the years that have passed in between.
Thank you Graham!
I first heard this song on an LP from Crosby Nash Stills and Young and loved it but thought it was unlike their other songs. I only learned recently that it was written for Joni and it has new meaning.
It was written with her at the house.
@@blakeh6250 There's a recording somewhere of her singing backing vocals to it.
I remember.
I named my only son after Graham Nash, He is now 43
