58 years later this song is still true.
was number ONE twice during the Vietnam era
@@user-xr4jv4qt1g mid 60s to the mid 70s the Vietnam war era had the greatest music.
There’s a man with a gun over there!
Strap in fam, we're going for one hell of a ride
Sure did!! @@Amy-hx6cs
I'm 70 years old and remember when this song first came out. It is still applicable now as it was then. Sad.
Yep
Yep
I’m 68 and I remember too! Very sad
Glad you made it this far, lone rider. Lets hope the world you gave us young folk won't be wasted.
wait if you are 70 now then you would be 18 in 1969 and you would have been drafted since the draft lasted until 1973 so did you serve in vietnam back then?
It is 1966, I am 14 working cleaning construction sites and this is pounding out of my new transistor radio. Still feels the same.
It Is Amazing,, how just three notes in, is all it takes to wake up a lost sector of memory.
Cheers
was
You have a vivid imagination
My senior year in high school.
@@carolynzaremba5469this was my mother’s favorite song… I’m 23 now i lost her to cancer at 21. Everytime i hear this song i think of her. She was one of the good ones in this, dark world
“Nobody's right, if everybody's wrong”, those lyrics man...
Like a Sabbatean Frankists game 🎮 👌
My fave is "Paranoia strikes deep, into your life it will creep, etc. etc.
And social media has made that problem even worse than when that song was first heard. Ad AI to it, and things might be forever lost in confusion and uncertainty.
I'm here because of andy's guitar lessons, and this is so beautiful can't wait to play it with my guitar !
Edit: don't give up guys! It's gonna be hard at the beginning ur hands will hurt but it's gonna be okay! 💜
Sameee haha
Me too:)
Same
Mee toooooo
Sameee🖤🖤🖤
This song, "Fortunate Son", and "All Along the Watchtower" are on the soundtrack to pretty much any movie with a Vietnam war scene.
And paint it black
You forgot time of the season
Except this song wasn't written about the Vietnam War. It's about the Sunset Strip Curfew Riots in November 1966.
Don't forget Run Through The Jungle
Sympathy for the devil
This is the definition of a classic.
After what just happened, this song still applies and will always apply to everyone
I immediately thought that too with the recent events. It's very eery, creepy even 👀
@@PugLover9955 what happened??
This song is just as relevant now, as it was then. Everything going on in our country right now, this gives me the chills.
A bit too relevant. Scary.
AMEN!
Yes 👍
@@ceciliawells1099 yes
I remember the song from before. Was a favorite of mine then, and it is just as relevant now.
Crazy how history tends to repeat itself… song is timeless and stands as true as it did close to 60 years ago
Yep! I am 73 and remember when this song came to our attention - still true today
It repeats itself because we get to complacent.
@@jallen1425 you’re 100% correct
One way to think about this so-called repetition is cycles involving the generations, like when the Olympians kicked their parents', the Titans, asses. scarcity power greed adventure resentment hatred violence. find a generation in any culture in anytime of history when these things were not part of what was in between the older and the newer generations.
@@nihilioellipsis fair point
anyone else think that it’s depressing that this song is still just as relevant as it was in the 60s
Not really. Truth is truth, no matter what the age.
It means we learned nothing from our past
I think that it's more relevant now than when it was released.
I'm a Liberal and I voted for Trump in 16 and 20, but at this point even MAGA is looking fishy.
@@prodigalson6166 always was tbh
this song becomes more and more relevant every single day. nobody's right if everybody's wrong. peace and love to all.
It never stopped being relevant we just stopped fighting before the fight was over.
There are over 550 million firearms in worldwide circulation. That's one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. The only question is, how do we arm the other 11?
not
Ask the soviets
@@basedmax9029 They had like too little guns for their soldiers so I wont recommend asking them lmao
whats up yuri
ew no
"Battle lines being drawn. Nobody's right if everybody's wrong." Words that can describe our situation right now. We need to come together and work things out civilly or we will all perish together.
The problem is some of us want to "come together" by running over the rights of other people. I'm not a Republican, gun nut, religious fundie or any of that mess. I'm just tired of being told to shut up and sit down by so-called "my" side. Stop it.
@@urthboundmisfit Boo hoo you got pumped and dumped and can’t kill a baby im sorry
It's applicable globally. The World is bigger than America and your antiquated amendments.
The world is on fcuking fire.
Europe burns and the Pentagon fans the flames.
You continue to selfishly squark about your insignificant domestic lifestyle while destabilizing another government, blowing up another bridge.
We used to love America, all hail the stumbling child king.
Orphan maker ground shaker life taker truth faker tell someone who gives a fcuk
I would love to do something about it but nothing we can do can affect anything.
Orange Clown Nation. Qanon. Etc. WTF?!
July 2024, it IS pretty clear, but nails it!
Is anyone listening in 2024?
why not?
Absolutely !!
Yes still listening 2024
Yes
I never stop listening to the message songs I am now 75. I grew up with this stuff and I love it.
Wow! This music evokes it's era but at the same time remains timeless.
FellVoice. Great comment ! I first heard this song in 1969, and it still sounds great today and brings back good memories.
Exactly! It's timeless for sure!
Stills is a brilliant songwriter.. this one is OK but some of his others are a lot better in my opinion. Check out "Questions" and "Bluebird" for instance. Treetop Flyer.. Love the One You're With.. he's awesome.
È ver0
Only because history is repeating itself three generations later.
One of the greatest 60s songs, without a doubt. An absolute classic.
One of the greatest songs of all time, maybe THE best. I first heard it in a montage of the Tarantino movies and I fell in love with this song. The only problem with it is that it’s too short, I need a longer version
Find a dave matthews band for what its worth outro
1967, Los Angeles, running around town in a '63 Chevy Biscayne and just kept hearing it, couldn't get enough. Times were very, very similar and I'm having deja vu all over again.😆
“Paranoia strikes deep. Into your life it will creep. It starts when you’re always afraid. Step out of line, the man comes and takes you away…”
My favorite line in this great song....
@@CyndyGough54 Haunting considering the state of the world today! It's not paranoia if they are really out to get you!
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's something happening here
But what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
A-telling me, I got to beware
[Chorus]
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
[Verse 2]
There's battle lines being drawn
And nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Are gettin’ so much resistance from behind
[Chorus]
It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
[Verse 3]
What a field day for the heat (Ooo-ooo-ooo)
A thousand people in the street (Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Singing songs and a-carryin’ signs (Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Mostly say, "Hooray for our side" (Ooo-ooo-ooo)
[Chorus]
It's time we stopped
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
[Verse 4]
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the man come and take you away
[Chorus]
We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going
We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going
We better stop
Now, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going
We better stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
always the underrated comment. Thank you, Sir/Maam.
thank you! save me the trouble of finding it
what about 1:23
Stop children what’s that sound, sounds like it’s from a American school
@@SpartanGaming7739 sounds like a joke british people made
You just hear the first chord and you know EXACGTLY what song is coming all these images from the news come flooding in. My inner hippie just feels so validated when I hear this.
This song always remind me of Kent State. Now its so relevant in light of what is happening on college campus throughout our nation.
Innocent kids being beat up by the cops for no reason. Those college administrators are cowards, as are the pigs they've called in to do their dirty work.
May 4, 1970......I was in Oxford, OH at Miami University. I will never forget that week. Peace my brothers.
@@littmad What do you think of the police cracking skulls of innocent college kids today, simply for them protesting against genocide?
Well, that’s exactly what this song is about. It about the events of that day at Kent State. Our own government took up arms on its own citizens. It will happen again.
@@johnh8197 Stills was actually inspired to write the song after the sunset strip curfew riots in LA in 1966
A song that still holds revelance in America's situation today.
you mean humanities
_Relevance._
You got THAT right. I thought nothing could top the craziness of the 60's and Nixon. God help us.
Teen riots over curfews are still relevant today? Ok.
more than ever.
This is by far the best protest song ever written in the history of rock and roll, originally written for the Sunset Strip curfew riots that were happening in Los Angeles in 1966, then used as a protest song against the Vietnam War!
Nope, I disagree. The best protest song ever written in the history of Rock and Roll was "Uptown Girl" by Billy Joel.
"Although "For What It's Worth" is often considered an anti-war song, Stephen Stills was inspired to write the song because of the Sunset Strip curfew riots in Los Angeles in November 1966."
I think this song was written about the riots on the Sunset Strip.
Yes. This was a horrible time thru my life in Los Angeles. I'm glad the civil unrest then brought some good changes.
A song which is timeless. It's message stands clear. Written by Dave Crosby who died today on January 19, 2023. R.I.P. Mr. Crosby
Written by Stephen Stills
When did Dave Crosby change his name to Stephen Stills? "For What It's Worth” was a Top 10 hit for Buffalo Springfield in 1966. Stephen Stills wrote the song in response to the November 1966 Sunset Strip curfew riots in Los Angeles."
Stephen Stills wrote this
Crosby never wrote a song this great. Stephen Stills was by far the genius of CS&N.
David Crosby had nothing to do with the writing of this song. It was written by Stephen Stills as a member of Buffalo Springfield
I was so young then. Now I'm 63 still love that song. Our country was in a battle then but nothing compares to what we face now.
Now the enemy is lack of empathy, love, care and emotions. The snowflakes who confused altruism with egoism. That's the war we face now. No one likes the truth.
Let the teens solve their problems
@@FedeArgentina i don't think hes talking about teen problems
Time flies by , right?
Time flies by , right?
Dose of nostalgia
You can always tell lyrics written by Stills. He always knows how to tug at the emotions while realize saying something profound at the same time.
This song gets more and more relevant as the time passes by.
Lord of War introduced me to this song, such a great opening, also and excellent movie.
Great film just watched it
You 're damn right
I know right
That intro is awesome, i remember our teacher showed it to us in school
Nicholas Cage is a strange actor to me, he is either amazing as in this film, or truly awful. Anyway thanks for reminding me, going to watch the opening again.
I'm only a fetus in the womb and even I like this song. Just goes to show that good music is timeless.
Anyone here because they actually like this song?
*Edit* Thanks for all the likes, everyone.
Yeah. I liked it when it was new and still like it today.
I like/love the song but hate what it speaks of...then and now.
More relevant in 2020
@@mrtambourineman6107 No truer statement made lately! I'm so simply disgusted with every politician ..Demo and Repub. They all need to be sent home, and new Law and Constitutional thinkers sent. Just saying.
@@Gunrunner54 agree, what is more frustrating and scary is how people seem to pick a side and then stuck by these assholes no matter how ridiculous they get (on both sides)
Iconic. Just iconic. This classic will never get old. This is just so applicable to 2020.
Yep...Indeed
This song suddenly played in my mind with the dream like music.
Late 60's..so much going then..but..this song broke all generations..even after..50 yrs still going on...Here the words..!!! 😔🙏
There is only one problem with this song,
It's too short.
Incredible how current time is similar to the 1960s, useless war, economical crisis and worldwide paranoia
So true, thatbis how I have been feeling, I've told my kids and theirs. God, are we ever going to be a somwhat normal country again?🙏✋❤️
Get those communist under control, and freedom-loving Americans should be able to get our lives back.
'For What It's Worth' (Stills) ... Great song
Yes I agree great song and group 👍
Relevant JULY 2024‼️💯
"The only question is how do we arm the other 11"
"One day it started raining..."
Yeah, these quotes will forever be embroilled in my head.
"One hundred million patriots and three hundred million guns"
"There's bad lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong"
The relevance of that today is frightening.
I think it will always be relevant to some extent, unfortunately.
Meant to be "battle lines". But "bad" sounds legit and good too, cause they are bad and wrong. We're separated by our governments, but not by our souls.
What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
its battle lines..idiot
i mean the things that are sung about have been going on for over 40 years, they aint gonna change now.
Listen everybody, it's still happening "Right Now" !!!
“Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong” such a simple line yet a profound one.
On the same level as war doesn't decide who right but instead who's left
@@bethannpinto3029 The song isn't about war.
For those who haven't experienced it before:
1) Put in your headphones
2) Go to 1:50
3) Listen and enjoy to around 2:15
4) Take out your right headphone and repeat steps 2 & 3
5) Put the right headphone back in, take out your left headphone and repeat steps 2 & 3
6) Repeat steps 1, 2 & 3
Voilá, consciousness expanded!
So this is what I was missing when one of my old headphones' speaker didn't work!!
@@peyuko5960 that's in fact how I found out about this, when one of my speakers malfunctioned. It was however not with this song, but with Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Well, I just noticed that from one side of the headphones you can hear one singer and from the other you can hear the rest of the singers. Confused. Also, the sound became low and odd at one end..
@@MaxScheibenpflug went to find "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and repeated the steps and was shocked: one side has the instrumentals, another has the lyrics being sung.
That's pretty complicated there bud. I think this song is already pretty complex enough.
No other song so eloquently reveals the real politick 'strategy of tension' and the need for us as individuals to wise up to it.
A warning across the ages and a thing of beauty!
LOL
Andy's guitar fans where you at??? 🤚🤚
Legit just came here for that😅
lmao, never listened to the song before. Just came from Andys
Here, literally started a day ago
Me too😂
yoooo
A song that defined a Generation. Well if you grew up in the 60's you know what this song meant in 69 at the end of the decade. Much about, youth in the streets and youth in Nam dying, we all had to protest but support those guys in the shit, hard times that only Stills and Young could put into music. For What It's Worth.
Gotta go Mr. Soul is up next.
69 funny number
The song has nothing to do with "nam".
I used to listen to this in Afghan. I made sure to play lots of anti war music. I even called my rifle "Canned Heat".
Chris Tillmann were you in the Sandbox as well?
@@mickfunny4185 yeah, Afghan, Helmand province, May-Dec 09.
Good man. From the 60’s I get it. Doesn’t seem much has changed. Thanks
@Mike Marley Thank you, sir.
This is not an anti-war song, but written in support of the hippie riots on Sunset Strip in '66. And the hippies weren't fans of US soldiers invading poor, non-white countries and killing their people.
Just looking at something can make all the difference in the world
This song is so relevant to whats going on in the world rihht now. Especially with whats going on in Gaza

Ahhh, that's what it was! It's been stuck in my head all day.
My Brother Ricky in Oklahoma City would get together with his friends and play the piano and they would sing this song. I will never forget this and the memory I have of them doing this.
It's been on every sound track for the sixties, but it never gets old.

Stephen Stills wrote the song, and Buffalo Springfield recorded it. I'm a big David Crosby fan, as well, but this song is pre-CSN.
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it ... 50 years later
Oh, the government learned. It why the banned photos and actual journalism for all modern wars.
That why one can't take pictures of caskets.
All beautiful things are simple.
This song is modest, unassuming, minimalist down to the bone, yet it is profound.
Jarring, even.
You can say a lot, by saying little.
This one doesnt go in the time capsule......IT IS the time capsule.
It will play as long as mankind has a soul.
I am crying 😢 so true in 2023 my God😢
One of the greatest songs of all time.
war never changes
0:26 Thanks Vsauce, now I can't unhear it.
Wait what did he say
@@do-m3126 the B in "beware" is clipped. Additionally the P in "people" at 1:24. Seems to be persistent in all recordings of the song. It's simply a mistake by the studio who mastered the audio.
It was to get rid of that sound in the microphone, when you make those sounds, I don’t know why that’s the way they combatted that
@@rioriorio17 it’s a low cost pop filter.
B and P sounds tend to create an initial ‘pop’ sound (like popping a bubble) when they are said or sung. If you ever seen someone speak into a microphone which has a black disk between the mic and the speaker, that’s the low-tech pop filter. It acts to break up the popping component but allows the remainder of the ‘buh’ or ‘puh’ sound to be picked up by the mic.
As has been stated, a sound engineer took the matter into his own hands and manually edited out as much of the ‘pop’ as possible but needed to take out a little too much.
@@kjamison5951 yeah I know
I been feeling pretty low these past few days, unsure of what side of things I should be on with where we're at right now in America. Then I remembered this song. It's been damn near 60 years and we're seeing the exact same thing all over again, we've made zero progress as a human race. I just hope we don't have another Kent state scenario. We never learn.
Yup. Biden and the college admins keep calling in the pigs to assault and brutalize unarmed children. These administrators are savages, and they're on the wrong side of history.
Yes I agree and 1966year I was born
I’m a bit older. I grew up with the Vietnam war as a fixture in my life. As I approached draft age, Buffalo Springfield released “For What It’s Worth.” Changed my life. Made hard moral decisions on the spot. Grateful.
Applicable to 2023😢
Beautiful song, over 50 years old and still has an amazing message.
I like your monke from the description
Yup. Fight for your right to stay out late if you're under 18 years old. A timeless message.
This band is my most favourite. From my teen era until now I heavily praise them. Whenever I listen to them i feel like i’m so lucky and happy because of those beautiful tunes.
My sister texted me. Wow! Everyone loved David Crosby. Prayers for his family's loss. He was much loved.
Just as when this song was new, the kids are alright.
Yup, and then, as now, the kids are RIGHT: end genocide. Stop the starvation and massacre in Cambodia/Vietnam, they said then. Stop the starvation and massacre in Gaza now, they say today.
This one song has a different feel than the rest of the whole album, great vibe.
there's always that one song of the album that's completely different from the rest yet was a massive hit
Funny you should say that. I bought this album, actually for this track, and dashed home to listen. Imagine my disappointment that despite the fact the cover listed "For what it's Worth" as track one, side one and the label on the disc also confirmed the same.....
FWIW was not on the album......
I did pick up somewhere that the first pressing had been done before FWIW became a BIG hit, but that doesn't explain either the album label and the sleeve.... BONUS: I did get an extra track. 🥰
Heard this song for years, and it's amazing how just today the actual lyrics jumped out at me and I was like wow, talk about something that is as relevant now as it ever was.
you do know that the song is about Vietnam war protests right?
@@Stalker_of_the_forest "you do that the song is" not "about Vietnam war protests right?"

My dad raised me on good music in 27 btw and rock and roll like this is dead I wish I was born in 62 so I could have grew up with this
This song came out when I was practically a baby, and it is sad that it is still relevant today.
2024 still relevant
This is the first song I’m learning on the guitar (because theres only two chords.) This is the beginning of another journey ✌️
There’s a couple more chords in the chorus. I can teach you the whole song, including lead, if you want.
I watched Forest Gump when I was like, 12, and wondered what this song was until about 16 while I was hitch hiking and got a lift from a grizzled, really really old fellow in hells angels patches. He told me it was kind of surreal for him, picking up a hitchhiking teen smoking weed while his radio played this song, reminded him of things back in the day
Really really old - so, like 50?
"And then one day...the rain just stopped."
"Paranoia strikes deep, into your life it will creep"
2020 anthem
The paranoia you're talking about is crazy right-wingers denying the existence of the virus, right..??
@@gabrielp9646I'm not specifically talking about anyone. you could include crazy left wingers into that as well. it seems as if its creeping into almost everyone's lives. Left right black white up down in and out.
@@stupidstuntman52 Yeah... I have to be honest: I think your attitude is a problem. One side is fighting for human rights, the other is complaining because it finds it annoying... You sound like a rich man, saying to a poor man: "What's the big deal about having money..?? Rich, poor, we're all the same. We should all get along :D"
@@gabrielp9646 Well you can think whatever you like. Not sure how you twisted this into a political discussion. I was just stating an observation that paranoia seems to be creeping into everyone's lives, regardless of class, race, or political affiliation. The cause of paranoia can be quite different depending on these factors, but paranoia it still is. I'm not arguing about who's paranoia is more justified, or who has more or less of it. Only that it is affecting most if not all of us to a degree. That is undeniable.
"It starts when you're always afraid,
Step out of line, the man come, and
Take you away."
He changed the last phrase to "Shoot you down" when I saw in '69 with CSNY. Things were a little tense then, kinda like now.
Never will be this kind of music in 2024 and that’s to bad cause it was the best times in the 70s
i wasnt even born until 72 but this song is such a perfect capsule of time and nostalgia and memories. i have often listened to it and just tried to imagine my parents at that time and the world they were living in. my mother would have only been in her mid teens, but my father was already in his mid thirties and from a different generation. they of course had not even met yet and were living very different lives.
This sounds like today..I think then the signs were more positive. But this song really resonates with today in the USA!
Still might be the greatest single recording in rock history.
Funny how songs that express the feelings of one side in a generation can flip and express the feelings of the other a generation or two later. Just goes to show absolute power corrupts absolutely.
The sides never change, they just switch the D and the R next to the politicians names every now and then
A large amount of the comments on here just goes to show how even after all these decades people are missing the message and meaning of this song. Which is so sad and unfortunately not at all surprising.
I don't think I'll ever forget how I felt watching news reports about the 1968 Democratic National Convention. I had just turned 11 and I asked my parents if this is what political conventions were like. My dad's face was like stone and he just said "no" and shook his head. He asked me go with him to the Piggly Wiggly down the street to stock up on milk and bread because he assumed that riots would start in our city soon too. This song came on the radio on the way there. I don't think it was still part of the regular rotation then, so I assume it must've been specifically picked by a disc jockey. I'm 87 now and it feels more relevant than ever.
I think a typo slipped into your narrative. If you just turned 11 in the summer of '68 then you were born in the summer of 1957, so in the summer of 2022 you would be turning 65, not 87.
@@stevenspicer4873 I noticed that, too. Cause I'm 77 and I was 21 in 1968.
Strange how history repeats itself
There’s a quote something like “those who don’t study history are doomed to repeat it.”
I’m not sure if that strictly applies here, or if history just repeats anyway, but this feels awfully familiar.
I’m not one who yearns for simpler times, but I’m concerned that we are on the brink of change, whether we want it or not.
Its been repeating sense History started when you pay attention
History is just the same story being told over and over again and no one is stopping it
Any one here in 2024

We just had our daughter when my husband, his daughter. August 1968. Draft notice arrived and he was to report to camp at Fort Leonard Wood.
After Basic training, he was assigned to Fort Ord California.
Thankfully, he wasn't deployed to Vietnam.
I pray for all of the lives lost. Ours and the Vietnamese.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Was watching Old Guy Carnivore this morning on RUclips. He mentioned this song. Memories mixed with present reality. And today is Corpus Cristi Sunday. Good Day.
