Listen to my bluebird laugh.
She can't tell you why.
Deep within her heart, you see,
She knows only crying.
Just crying.

There she sits, a lofty perch.
Strangest color blue.
Flying is forgotten now.
Thinks only of you.
Just you.
Oh yeah...

So, get all those blues,
Must be a thousand hues.
And be just differently used.
You just know.

You sit there mesmerized
By the depth of her eyes
That you can't categorize.
She got soul.
She got soul.
She got soul.
She got soul!

Do you think she loves you?
Do you think at all?

Soon she's going to fly away.
Sadness is her own.
Give herself a bath of tears
And go home, and go home.

The same year as Sgt. Pepper, Light My Fire., Voodoo Child, Somebody to Love, and more, but this isn't.  A sound completely apart, and freaking amazing.

Wow, hard to believe the amount of intensity and verve they put into this, and hard to imagine it was way back then, but... DAMN, if only we could do something like this again nowadays!

Love this song, but there is that one chord where I always think they're going to bust into the beginning of Yes- Roundabout... but then the banjo kicks in.

Well there was a whole lot of talent in that one group.
It's hard to find that in bands today.

Not sure it's the bands who shy away from experimentation.  I suspect it's the record companies and their push for profits.  Experimentation isn't a guaranteed sale. 

As Pink Floyd says so cogently:  "You've got to get an album out, you owe it to the people!  We're so happy we can hardly count!"

I'm wondering if this is really the time or place to display a dead jewel of Gods creation. with all the suffering in the world many of us come here to put the ugly  reality of life and death on hold  and emerge ourself in masterful music such as this song and maybe drift into a moment of zen. And then I click on comments and see this. heavy sigh. perhaps next post , a little more reflection. And do't get me started on habitat loss. North American birds are BIG trouble.  On the other hand if you look at the comment, from a sick and twisted point of view, it's really quite funny

In 1990 I was in the middle of a three year 'tour' in Japan and happened across this disc in one of those loud bright flashing 'only in Japan' kind of shops. Took it back to my little apartment with the tatami mats, kerosene heater, and the good stereo and proceeded to listen to it, look at the pictures, and pretend to read the Kanji liner notes about twenty times over the next two days. That was the visit home I needed at the time, I guess.

This was 1967? These guys were so far ahead of the curve for trippy music with a country rock sound.

Makes you wonder what bands (Beatles? Hendrix? Byrds? Grateful Dead?)  listened to them?

Charlie Chan's banjo on this cut was, at the time, considered quaint and a bit daring. These days, seems like everyone's gotta have one. Witness tonight's following song, "Old Mountain Line" by Po' Girl. Me, I love it. Can't play a lick tho'. Harder than you'd think.

I lived on Modoc Street in Berkeley, between Marin and Solano, in the early 60's.

My Dad used to refer to us kids as the Modoc Indians back in that time.

Reminds me of the spring of '73—newlyweds, the war was over—we had a new TEAC player and bought a tape which, if I'm remembering correctly, Bluebird comprised one entire side. I used to dance and twirl around the room as the song played on and on. Yes, the perfect hippie memory.

Indeed, Steven Stills is underrated as a guitarist. His adaptation of flatpicking techniques to rock was radical for the time. Only Clarence White could give him a run for the money.

Guess I've been told. LOL! I've got all of Richie's Poco stuff and SHF, and, no, I wasn't diminishing his post-Springfield work or impact. He's gone to the light side, and IMHO his music has suffered...but at least he's happy. Fair enough?

  I haven't thought of Richie Furay or poco for YEARS.  Would be great to hear them.  There are 3 songs here, I hope they come on when I am listening.

I can never hear Buffalo Springfield without thinking of my best friend from my youth, now sadly dead of AIDS. We'd sit on his porch for hours, figuring out these songs and then playing them into the night. RIP, brother.

Hmm. I guess you could argue that honor went to Cream, since their members all came from major (at least British anyway) acts. Now, in terms of what came out of the Springfield, hard to argue the impact of a seminal group on the ensuing decades. And, yes, I include Richie Furay in there. Well, at least he's happy...
