One morning I woke up and I knew that you were gone.
A new day, a new way, I knew I should see it along.
Go your way, I'll go mine and carry on.

The sky is clearing and the night has gone out.
The sun, he come, the world is all full of light.
Rejoice, rejoice, we have no choice but to carry on.

The fortunes of fables are able to sing the song.
Now witness the quickness with which we get along.
To sing the blues you've got to live the tunes and carry on.

Carry on, love is coming, love is coming to us all.

Where are you going now my love? Where will you be tomorrow?
Will you bring me happiness? Will you bring me sorrow?
Oh, the questions of a thousand dreams, what you do and what you see,
lover, can you talk to me?

Girl, when I was on my own, chasing you down,
what was it made you run, trying your best just to get around?
The questions of a thousand dreams, what you do and what you see,
lover, can you talk to me?

GREAT TUNE!  And, great album! Which is amazing, considering the discourse & fighting in the band. As usual, Crosby wasn't getting along with anybody.  Young wasn't getting along with Taylor & Reeves.

I preferred Buffalo Springfield's original Questions to this one though I do think this album was superior to their first one mainly because of Neil's presence..

On my Top 10 list of greatest rock & roll albums.  I played it every single day on the 8-track of my first shaggin' wagon (a '65 Dodge van), when I moved to the Big City (Edmonton, Alberta) and, despite the title, it always felt like I was hearing it for the first time.  5 decades later there is still not a single track off this album that I wouldn't mind hearing every day.

In the fondness of memory, this seems like it had to be a 7, 8 or 10 minute jam. What a remarkable load of music packed into only 4:15.

Try "Black Queen' really loud.  Then really, really loud.  IMHO, his guitar playing second only to Hendrix, which Stills knew.  When Hendrix guested on Stills' first album, Stills chose to play the organ.
and yes, I know he was the rhythm guitarist in Buffalo Springfield.

Many of us are still alive.  Active even.  Saw them 3 times.  By the time they came around the third time, they had figured out how to quiet the crowd for "wooden music", '70s speak for acoustic instruments.  They just rock and rolled the hell out of the place for the first half-hour.

First Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young album (actually 8-track) that I purchased.  I would usually let it play more than a full cycle, because I wasn't always sure if I had already listened to a song. LOL 
But, I played it every single day for over a year until I smashed my '65 Dodge van at an uncontrolled intersection - into a car that I hadn't seen beforehand.
Every song on that album is a "9" or "10" for me.

There's a recent cable channel documentary on David Crosby and his musical life: Byrds, CSNY, solo.  

He's a strange and crazy cat.  That's for sure. 

But the kicker is, at almost 80 years old, his singing voice is still strong and pure. Just amazing. 

I wish I could sing like that.

I loved the debut CSN album but Neil Young is like the secret sauce that adds an indescribablel element really pushing them over the top (in a good way.) Was lucky to see CSNY in their first reunion  tour - summer 1973 at Rich Stadium in Buffalo. Ace opened the show (one hit wonder with the song "Too Long" - singer Paul Carrack went on to great fame with Squeeze.)  Jess Colin Young played next - minus the Youngbloods.  Santana was the final opener - just off his devadip and Sri Chinmoy guru days...  he has two Brazilian go-go dancer shimmying on pedestals at either side of the stage. CSNY put on a great show that day - long and well played.

CSNY was "popular" music 40 years ago.

We have pop music today in which 30% of the artists are women in their late teens/early 20's who look like bikini models and don't appear to be bringing much except their bikini model appearance.

At 48, it's clear I am an old fart.  

 
You don't really want an explanation of "why the music that's popular with people under the age of 30 holds weight with...music like this", you appear to be convinced that what's older must be better, purely because it's older - it's a circular argument. Our parents probably had similarly dismissive opinions about this sort of music forty years ago.  Personally, I never liked this song very much, but I've always appreciated the talents involved and displayed.

Well here's an interesting timepiece; a 15-minute live version of the song circa 1974. It's either heaven or hell depending on your opinion of CSNY. One thing it's not is a bunch of timid hippies playing quiet ballads on their acoustic guitars. They all appear coked up, but that's just me speculating (Nash looks like he weighs about 80 pounds), they're hoarse as hell and more screaming than singing, and CSY are wailing on their electrics with reckless abandon. Looks like Russ Kunkel on drums. Unfortunately the clip ends at 15 minutes, just as the boys are starting to crank it up another gear. Ah well, misty water-coloured memories . . .

Reading through the comments of who "made" this band so great, I have to laugh.  All four of the guys have been around in various incarnations, and to me, CSNY was a wonderful stew, and each member added a magic ingredient to make it wonderful.  I can't separate out one member from another and say, "Now, HE was what made CSNY so great!" It was that exceptional alchemy, that combination of each member's contribution to the band, that made the sound work.

I can't buy this. I bought most of Crosby and Nash albums released as a duo and there is some great songs on there with soaring vocals. I enjoyed these more than Stills solos efforts. Neil stands out way above the other three but fit so well within this group.

I have nothing against David Crosby but compared to his counterparts Nash, Stills and Young I've got to say that there the ones carrying the sound, music and most of the writing. IMO, Crosby got lucky when he hooked up with Nash and Stills. Nash is the heart, Stills is the sound and rhythm and Crosby is backup vocals. However, they would not sound as good as they do without him. The three together are nothing but fantastic. There first album still blows me away!

My 2 cents: Nash was the weak link. His treacly-sweet ballads make me nauseous. I'd say Crosby, Stills (& of course Young) were the strongest songwriters. However, there's no denying that Nash's harmonies are a big part of what made CSN(Y) so great, and I did kinda like Marrakesh Express.
 
I think you all may be a little off — Crosby is the tenor - the amazing voice of the group.  Remember the Byrds? He still sounds pretty good, all things considered, whereas poor Stills, well - he still plays guitar well.  Nash looks the best. See them live, if you get the chance.
