Music helps me cry... and laugh. Right now, I want to cry so I am trying this og cush mixed with this strawberry stuff listening to some real powerful music to sooth my soul. Your comment touched me.

Robert Stroud Hope you are Alright Robert I cried a lot too this song and this is the reason people write songs to get through...times of trouble, loss,pain all that but you know there will be better days man you gotta have a WILL TO LIVE a WANT and you will find it or it will find you if it hasn't already DESTINY it's REAL and we all got one so keep smoking it helps with CONTEMPLATION DIG? you take care of yourself and then that's how you can take care of someone else or something else music is my religion brother it's definitely peace of mind for me it helps so much alotta luck too you my friend I am here with you we all are on this planet together most think they are here alone I have felt it before but life is pretty cliche bro like where there's a will there's a way or if I knew then what I know now, I would be doing the same as you my friend smoking/thinking/contemplating the next move we all would ppl of the world forget so much and push stuff this way and that way put stuff where they think it belongs you know where you belong and be true to your own spirit always I appreciate what you said in your reply my life ain't all good all the time either and what you said believe it or not its 3:15am and I am still up bout to go to sleep and wanted to say thanks it made me smile to know I could help someone a little by commenting on a song about friends being there for each other again you take care thanks Robert.
I'm good. I mean, I have things going on but it's all just life bullshit. Nothing stops people getting older, on and on. Complain? Ha! For what? I know of at least 10, 15, people without even thinking, who have REAL problems.Funny, it's 330am and I can't sleep. I'll be able to soon. Got up and sampled the new sack of goods and put some feel good on.You said something that touched me. Music is a religion. SO TRUE! When I was 3, my mom said she'd play Porter Wagner's Skid Row Joe and I'd cry. When it was over she says I'd beg her to play it again and promise not to cry butould. Funny. Music has always touched me.Music hassaved my life. I have always carried lyrics and riffs and and poems, you get it? Peace
Music touches souls and moves hearts. Music saves lives. Music helps me laugh.Music helps me cry. Music makes me think. Music makes me feel. Music is a gift from the Great Creator.
I'm listening.... and crying inside. Feels good. Music is a story of times past, among other things (music is infinite.).. Happy and sad. Me? I'm happy. And sad. Peace
Cool song...But just to be technically correct, this isn't CSN&Y. Although Stephen Stills wrote this song with help from Neil Young, this is a live version from a 1989 CSN appearance at the United Nations General Assembly Hall in New York, in which Neil had no part of. On this version, which is in the CSN box set, the personnel consists of just Stills (piano, vocals) & Nash (sticks, vocals). So, this isn't CSN&Y, or even really CSN, but more accurately S&N. The original studio version is on the CSN&Y album, American Dream, which was released in 1988.
The reason they played the UN Assembly Hall was because they were celebrating the fall of the Berlin Wall. They left NYC for Berlin, played for 1,000 fans in front of the Brandenburg Gate, then flew back and played the Cow Palace for the SF Earthquake Relief Concert a couple days later...

Dude, the studio version has amazing guitar leads that partial MAKE the song - not to mention the great drum groove that changes feels from chorus to verse. No way bro, the studio version blows this away, as beautiful as it is...tough statement to make, but as a drummer I have to defend the American Dream CD version. That whole record is amazing, Choose That Girl, American Dream, etc.....great stuff.

In retrospect this is a nice song, but American Dream was the most disappointing CSNY album ever. Maybe it was the timing relative to their careers and public taste. Maybe it was the order of the tracks. Maybe there were just too many "filler" tracks on the album. But there aren't really very many memorable songs on it. Probably the biggest disappointment was that Neil didn't really contribute a single memorable song. That turned it into just another CSN album with some filler. Neil seemed to be saving his best material for Freedom and Ragged Glory, which amounted to a "career renaissance" for him and still stand as "top ten" Neil Young albums.
Nah I couldn't disagree more. American Dream was a fantastic album & it had some of their very best songs. Especially "Compass" & "Got it Made". I also thought Neil contributed some fine songs, the best being "Feel Your Love". I think the only reason some ppl didn't like it was because the group started to go Pop/Rock & the older fans didn't like the change. Doesn't make it a bad album though.
It's main problems are the production/instrument choices (those synths suck) and too many songs. I think Neil's tunes were standouts, if lightweight. This Old House has good lyrics and chorus, Name of Love has a certain nobility to it, Feel Your Love is pretty, and the title track would be great without the stupid synth riff and more of the rocking middle section.
Not a great album, way too slick and over-produced, but it did have some nice songs like "Compass" and "Got It Made". And "Feel Your Love" is a great Neil tune. I do agree about Neil saving his best stuff for himself, which was a smart move on his account.
American Dream and Name of Love are great songs, just listen to the versions from the 1987 Crazy Horse tours. American Dream as an album doesn't work - the magic from 1970 was still gone, they sound disconnected and the production is awful.
I could listen to Stephen Stills sing all day long. He's such a brilliant singer-songwriter. Melts my heart.
One of the best songs ever, amongst the greatest songwriters and singers.
I’ve cried many a tears to this brill gem.
God what a great song! Harmonies are sublime. What a brilliant band as 3pc and 4pc. True art.
A highly under-rated song. Love its subtle sarcasm. How 'bout that America's 1%!

these guys could sing PURE notes...beautiful!!!
Great acoustics, and Harmonies. Takes me back to their early days. Thanks for posting.
For David, for all of us, the ones who still suffer and struggle and yet carry on. Red Badge of Courage
the best harmonizers in the biz
Considering the circumstances, I'm surprised there are live recordings of this song. But holy crap, this stripped down live version is good.
Far superior to the album version. Stills himself was not pleased with that version, so it became this!
I'm listening.... and crying inside. Feels good. Music is a story of times past, among other things (music is infinite.).. Happy and sad. Me? I'm happy. And sad. Peace
thanks great collector peice !!!
Beautiful music 🎶 🌸
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS !!!!

Thanks for the intelligent information. This song was also an "after thought" and got very little air time.

Great song about David Crosby getting into recovery written by Stephen Stills & Niel Young....
Please elaborate.
This made me laugh out loud. That is nowhere close to what this song is about.
Beautiful song! (:
I haven't heard this song in yrs. I'm glad that I remembered it. I love it.
one of the little known greats. Amazing song, classic version. The studio version should be long forgotten. all hail the live version.
The studio version should never be forgotten cuz it's fantastic. But I do agree that this acoustic version is great.

If it’s a Stills song about a past, gone relationship, it’s about Judy Collins.
A song that was transformed by its composer with a different arrangement. It went from middling to gold.
Fantastic
See you at the next party. Dave.

My heart bleeds
Is it really the quartet or just the trio?
Actually, it's just a duo. Stills & Nash performed this at a special benefit concert.
