The lyrics you read all reference sailing terminology. The person in the song is taking sailing journey to Papeete, Tahiti on a boat that is 80' at the waterline (big boat). I take it he is on the night watch looking at the Southern Cross constellation of stars and pondering his life. As a person who has spent some time on a sailboat offshore at night, I can attest that it can be a spiritual experience to just sit and ponder the night sky and endless water as you sit for hours on your watch. Beautiful song.
So true, and they are moments in time that form memories deep in your DNA.
My husband and I watch several sailing channels and would love to go around the world on a catamaran, which I know is not actually meant for the that but so many are doing it and have already done it that it doesn't scare me. However, we are almost finished with our campervan and all the solar and batteries, I believe we could power our house if need be. You never know what life will throw your way and I'm not ruling sailing out. I'm so happy for you to have had that experience!
@@tammieparrishmiller3669 That sounds wonderful Tammie. I say just do it if that's your dream. There are many mutltihulls sailing the seas. Just plan and prepare. I am glad we did it while we were quite young. I was 21 when we started building our boat (my husband had been planning it much longer). We spent 4 yrs building the boat, working and building up our cruising kitty., Then 18 years living aboard, cruising and spending too much time tied up at the dock, working on other people's boats when we ran out of $$. We were just kids and were willing to work hard to achieve our dreams. It was a wonderful experience and I have not regrets. Good luck !
Steven Stills wrote the lyrics on David Crosby's sailboat The Mayan....it was actually 74 feet long....sailing down to French Polynesia.....trying to get over his divorce from a French singer songwriter....if you want the back story to this song.....here it is....this music was written by the Curtis Brothers along with a few of the lyrics.....ruclips.net/video/TNEpFrOWooE/видео.html
but here is the real story.....ruclips.net/video/Z6apmDCDV64/видео.html
Vocals not dubbed. Just great harmony by three great singers. Peace!
When he sings “I have my ship, and all the flags are flying. She is all that I have left and music is her name “. He is saying he named his ship Music.
The music video is set on a sailboat, and that’s the key to the lyrics.
The Southern Cross is 4 stars in the sky in the southern hemisphere used by sailors for navigation. (Check the Australian flag 🇦🇺 and New Zealand flag 🇳🇿)
Steven Stills wrote this post divorce and after a long sail through French Polynesia (mid Pacific, east of Australia)
Stills is quoted “It’s about using the power of the universe to heal your wounds”
This song was based on a 1970’s demo of a song called “Seven League Boot” by The Curtis Brothers.
Bingo! Very well explained
This was likely my intro' to CSN (conscious, on MTV -I was born in 1969 -realized that I had heard other CSN, and became a fan, of each man's music). I traveled to Australia, with my Parents in 1986, for a 2.5 week tour around the nation. And, "that's the Southern Cross!" the north and south hemisphere' of Earth see stars differently, and seasons, and even water rotation. I've sailed on lakes like in the Tetons, the Great Lakes, ferries up to Alaska, to Newfoundland, Cruise Ships in the Caribbean to many locations, in the Mediterranean -not a sailor, yet experience out on the open Ocean, when land is seen, or only water and the land appears at the horizon, ...this is brilliant introspection, with music chorus.
Their song "Ohio" is another winner
I LOVE STILLS VOICE
One of the best bands for there harmonies, another is the Eagles. Love this song and many more of there songs.
It is about his love of sailing and using the metaphor for life and love. This song is about ALL THREE....a woman, music, and a love of life! Yes, again you nailed it!!
"And we never failed to fail" The line gets me every time, As a sailor I've been there and this song always pops into my head, It hits hard.
A great song. Stephen Stills is so so gifted. Live, with the boys is good also.
So happy to see you react to this
The Southern Cross is a constellation of stars.....“Southern Cross,” by Crosby, Stills & Nash, is a song that encapsulates the themes of love, heartbreak, new beginnings, and healing through the metaphor of a sea voyage.... The song is about using the power of the universe to heal your wounds
Wow, well said.
❤
The Southern Cross is a constellation of stars in the Southern Hemisphere.....hence the references for islands in the South Pacific (Tahiti and The Marquesas). Nice comment btw.
You can see it from Australia. Never been there, but i know who was.
think he can figure that out. why are you telling him what a southern cross is...implying he doesn't know and can't figure out the meaning behind the song?SMH
One of my favorites from them.
A geographic love song for sailors/seamen.Most of the things he is talking about in the song are places along his sailing journey, the terms are jargon for seamen.Waterline(how deep the boat sets in the water),sailing a reach before a following sea(to have your vessel go in the direction of the waves) and the downhill run from Papeete( is the wind direction being behind you and (POP A Ate Tay) is the island direction it is coming from))
Avalon, I assume, is Avalon Bay, Santa Catalina( an island off the coast of California). The song talks about the beginning legs of the Coconut Milk Run across the South Pacific Ocean. First stop is usually the Marquesa Islands (Iles Marquises); then through the Tuamotu islands (Archipel des Tuamotu) to Papeete, Tahiti. A bit over 3,000 miles.
The Southern Cross is a reference to the stars in the night sky in the southern hemisphere (the bottom side of the world globe or down under ).In the northern hemisphere sailors used the North Star as a positioning point to navigate by(I think) at night.
I do believe that you are correct in all of this. I remember doing a little bit of basic research on this song in the past and you summed it up perfectly. Well done.
The harmonizing 🙌
By the way, he Stills also mentions Avalon in the song... Just off the coast of Southern California... AKA: Santa Catalina!
You pick a great song and I enjoy watching your videos
Wow. I haven't heard this song in a long time, and I forgot how much I loved it. Such great harmonies and images in their lyrics. I definitely have to do some backtracking and get some more music from these guys on my playlists. Thanks for bringing out an oldie but goodie; hoping some younger folks hear this and take a look back at some of the great music from earlier years.
Just a beautiful song.
He's on a fair sized sailboat ("80 feet of waterline, nicely making wake" ) headed South towards French Polynesia and the Marquesas Islands in the South Pacific. HIs reference to the Southern Cross presumably refers to the sort of cosmic awareness a person might get when on night watch onboard a boat out in the isolation of the ocean and seeing the constellation for the first time.
Stills said he wrote it shortly after a divorce, so the narrative of healing through communing with nature is pretty clear.
Yes well said, too....
Its making way not wake.
Reminds me sooo much of my childhood. ❤
David Crosby had a beautiful Sail Boat, and loved the sea. Sailing at night, looking at the stars, chillin' out. Beautiful song, but I'm gonna
keep my old butt on the shore these days. Another great selection Biz, and top shelf commentary that's the most entertaining on
youtube.
You pick a great band thank you
Great reaction. What great songs you are reacting to these last days/weeks
One of my favourite CSN songs. I'm glad you played the album version, which has an extra verse which adds a lot to the story. The Southern Cross is a distinctive star constellation here in the southern hemisphere (and on my country's national flag). The first verse is talking about a yacht travelling south through French Polynesia. A tale of lost love, and of accepting that sometimes you need to lose love to grow as a person. The line "we never failed to fail - it was the easiest thing to do" gets me every time. The album's title track "Daylight Again/ Cost of Freedom" is a hauntingly beautiful track too, and adds to the vocal magic by having Art Garfunkel as guest vocalist.
My 16 year old daughter LOVES this song and we listen to it most mornings when I am driving her to school.
My brother, travel on a boat at sea and cross equator by sea and look at night sky, meditate on life and relationships a few nights. You got this!
This is my fave song they made 😍
gorgeous song.
Yeah it's about a man searching for sure. He's reflecting on his life while he's in this vast ocean on this boat and there's nothing else to do but think about his life. I've only done about 10 mi out past the shore so I don't know what it's like to be completely in the middle of a big ocean and a tiny sailboat but even at 10 mi out it feels pretty remote from everything else on earth. I'll never got to see the southern cross because I've never gone into the southern hemisphere yet. Peace!
NOBODY sang perfect harmony like CS&N! I learned to sing harmony in my youth singing along with them. "Sailing a reach before a following sea (winds across your deck and the waves coming from behind you, instead of coming at you head-on), She was making for the trades (trade winds) on the outside, and the downhill run (south) to Papeete (capital of Tahiti), Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas (and island group), We got eighty feet of the waterline (the length of the boat at the waterline), Nicely making way" (moving forward). These are all maritime sailing terms. This song is a lament by a sailor at sea about a lost love.
he Still (Stills) has HIS MUSIC and his SHIP.....
I have always loved this song! I went to Peru last summer. My first night in Cusco I went to the roof of my hotel to find the Southern Cross and play this song! It was an amazing sight!
The boat was also named SOUTHERN CROSS so they were also singing about 'her'... ;)
Southern Cross is also a brand of quality sailboats. Classic looking sailboat beauties they are (if you love sailboats as i do). Great rxn vid Biz,tks!
CSN... These guys loved to sail and the Southern Cross (stars in the Southern Hemisphere) is always used by sailors!
Excellent choice! Actually David Crosby didn't sing on this. He was capable at the time so Timothy B. Schmit filled in for him. The Southern Cross is a constellation in the sounthern hemisphere, their version of our north star. It was used for navigation on the seas
My absolute favorite CS&N song. I've always loved nautical themes, tall sailing ships, lighthouses, schooners, legends, etc. Each member of CS&N, David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, are outstanding on their own. Stephen Stills also sings one of my favorite songs, "Love the One You're With". For another seafarer's song check out "Brandy" by Looking Glass.
Beautiful song
I appreciate the listen only reaction - but I would love to see what you think these cats look like! They have a great folk harmony - the best.
Back when they made masterful music. just three guys on stage with acoustic guitars.
Love Crosby Stills Nash, lucky to have seen them live back in the day. Please listen to DARK STAR. You will love it! Cheers
MY FAVORITE CSN SONG BIZ😊, THIS AND ( WOODEN SHIPS ) 💯
😂with their sound I'd love it if the vocals sounded like
Charlie Brown's teacher.😂😂👊❤️🔥🎶
good catch biz
I've listened to this song countless times, and I learn something new almost every time.
This is a classic example of a song that leaves you craving more. So wonderful.
Biz, the song was written by Steven Stills after his wife left him. He owned a sailboat moored at a home he had in Australia. He set sail, not knowing if he was going to come back alive, or dive overboard to commit suicide in the South Pacific. The Southern Cross is a very famous constellation that can only be seen from south of the equator.
Fortunately, while sailing that night he looked up at the Southern Cross, and after long contemplation he decided to not jump overboard, and that music--- not his ex-wife, nor any other woman, was his first and truest love.
Correction: not Australia--- Tahiti, French Polynesia.
this is my favorite CSN and sometimes Y song (Ohio is a close second). Such a good sing a long song too
The harmony is outstanding! Pure talent!
The South cross is a constalation. He is on a boat travelling and thinking about a love lost.
Saw Stephen Stills 5 times, twice with Neil Young , twice just him and CSN!!
Great song. And my late mother's favorite CS&N song. So glad we shared a love for this group.
This song is about sailing. The Southern Cross is a magical constellation. AHOY!❤
There's another RUclips version of this song by Crosby, Stills and Nash. It shows a video that alternates between a silhouette of them singing the song and Steven Stills sailing a boat. It's alot cooler than the one in this video.
(Southern man) from the 4 way street album .one of the best live songs
I remember this but not as well as their others for some reason. Maybe I was working a lot of hours then. It's pretty good.
art garfunkel was brought in for some high harmonies here; lil know fact.......liner notes rule!
May I suggest Carry On. This band is fantastic!
Dig it…glad i subscribed to your channel. I cant remember what i first saw you react to (maybe Beastie Boys, Tool, or something along those lines)…but it wasnt in this genre at all. My taste is eclectic and so is your choice of songs to react to.
If you live in the northern hemisphere it is not possible to see the southern cross I'd like to sail with these guys sometime!
The Southern Cross are constellations that form a cross and can be viewed from most of the Southern Hemisphere. People who sail the seas use the Southern Cross to help them navigate their boats. You should watch Crosby Stills and Nash's video of this song. They are sailing, and it makes the words make a little more sense.
duh!
Nope 4 way street way better
A powerfully spiritual tune !
Bro you just playing bangers tonight 💯
on a long sailing trip from California to an island in the south pacific. He realized that he still loves "that woman girl" but doesnt know how to get her back. On a midnight watch (a time when youre sailing the boat but have a lot of time to think) he realizes why she ran away. Now all he has left is his ship and his music. The Southern Cross is a constellation used to navigate when south of the equator. He feels the Southern Cross has shown him the way to understand why he lost "that woman girl".
Im a professional captain of sailing vessels and can surely relate to loving my version of "that woman girl".
💜💜
Dark Star next if you can please!
I guess they can scrap any early warning systems that may be in place. The recent quake that hit New Jersey, there was no warnings and the alert systems on cell phones and television didnt report anything for over 30 minutes later. The cell phones never sent a alert to this day! POS. ty
Litterally... YACHT ROCK... lol
Stephen Stills was one of the great composers of the 20th century!
Please do Guinevere next by CSNY you will love it 💋🙌🏼
"music" is ALL has left since his break up.....AND music was alw. his only reliable love
He's sailing in the South Pacific, staring at the sky, and pondering the breakup of his last relationship. In the end he's all good.
I am not a sailor, but "sailing a reach" refers to the angle at which the wind hits the sail giving the most speed. I hope that is accurate. Any salts out there please correct me if I am wrong.
You’re right ! A reach is when the wind comes from the side of the boat and provides optimum speed.
For a group that did folk songs. This could be the best soft rock song ever.
Sea voyage on a sailing ship.
80 foot sail boat
This song, as good as it may be, just takes me to a bad place. A guy who just couldn't take no for an answer. I was 6 yrs. younger than him and just starting beauty school. He was 21 and wouldn't get a job so he could actually take me to school or even on a real date. I remember this song was always being piped through the speakers at my school and it still brings up bad memories. He actually hung himself several years later. Very sad. Sorry if I bummed you or anyone else out. Peace.
It's Crosby STILLS NASH..
❤🇦🇺
Rap record!
This dude's woman has had enough of his s--t so she runs off. He is heartbroken so he says, "F--k it, I'm getting out of here!" He joins a crew on an 80 foot sailboat that sails around the South Pacific islands. He hangs out in bars in the ports and chases young tail, but he can't get his woman out of his head, even in those beautiful islands.
There is nothing epic or profound about this song, because it’s really just about a sailing trip, however it is still an awesome song anyway
Noooooooooo.Wimpy Wimpy wrong song need 4 way Street Album Carry On
Nope one of their worst song and wimpy....they soldout
Delta is another great song on this album. It's Crosbys best vocal performance ever.
