Who knew what was going on
I was mistaken, only another stranger that I knew
And I thought that I'd found the light
To guide me through my nights and all my darkness
I was mistaken, it was only reflections of a shadow that I saw
And I thought I've seen someone who seemed at last
To know the truth
I was mistaken, only a child laughing in the sun
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh in the sun
R.I.P. David Crosby. I Still got the first C,S,N Album from 1969 on vinyl, and i love it!
Ditto.
To have such success so early in life, it's the ultimate drug isn't it? You chase that high for the remainder of your life. As evinced by his life from that point onward. So it goes I suppose.
I've had many wonderful years of listening/watching David - with The Byrds, Solo, and with the Guys.
He took harmony to another level.
Thank you

Wow. That would be an amazing thing to have. CSN(Y) were such a huge part of my childhood, and I go back to them when the world is overwhelming. Their music helps me feel like it's going to be OK. I haven't listened to much solo Crosby, but I should.
ETA: dang it, Bill. How dare you make me cry with your heartfelt (and accurate) words.
How bout a rename to Young and Still, Nash and Crosby..............io descending order

Your name should be the very last then.
Even if the original comment was more than 4 years ago - it's a Saturday afternoon - the sun is out for a change! I'll pull this Jefferson starshipout of my record collection, blow off the dust, place it on the turntable and , with eyes closed, listen to the whole album!
Anyway, it was a great summer and this song always takes me right back to that place and time.
It blew me away when I found out that Jerry was playing pedal steel here. He does a great job.
You're right, enough so that I'm going to +1 to an 8. LLRP!!
If there were they must have been ones that limited his lyric-writing range to that of a twelve-year-old.
I agree, but doesn't it just sound so lush? I am always disappointed when it ends.
ps - I should have looked back through the thread - it is Jerry Garcia!!
I haven't read the liner notes (remember those?) in a lot of years, but my recollection is that this track was basically Crosby and the Dead together with some special backing vocals. Garcia on pedal steel, Lesh on bass, and you can hear Joni Mitchell in the harmonies.

Maybe. Probably.
And...?
Let's start a documented list of songs, symphonies, movies, books, paintings, theater, etc. created, composed and/or performed under the influence of drugs and booze. Gonna be a L-O-N-G fucking list.

California dreamin' on such a winter's day
I agree with both of you!
Where is the Plus 10 button? Just great listening
Thank you Bill
You're Welcome
A sublime 10
Like Excalibur in the stone awaiting the worthy hand to wield it so too were Martin guitars created in 1833 awaiting the individual and collective hands of CSN&Y to release the beauty built within. IMO none before or since have done what they have with Martins.
by far
Where is the Plus 10 button? Just great listening

Probably the greatest D note in bass history kicking off the song.
Absolutely, yes! This has been an inspiration for me for decades. It got me through some pretty tough times. Joni Mitchell's haunting background always gives me chills.
Always wanted to make a video to this one for him.
Amen, indeed. One of the best, sweetest, fleeting moments of an era that's so far behind us but was so damn fine.
About new Crosby's 2014 studio album "CROZ", Crosby says:
"I wanted to challenge myself. Most guys my age would have done a covers record or duets on old material. This won't be a huge hit. It'll probably sell nineteen copies. I don't think kids are gonna dig it, but I'm not making it for them. I'm making it for me. I have this stuff that I need to get off my chest."
He also spoke about why they decided to release the album independently, saying: "We didn't have any money. None. We could have gone and gotten a deal, but everybody in the music business is very leery about the big companies and what kind of lifespan they might have. Most people are doing it on their own, so that's what we did."
He also spoke about how he got Mark Knopfler to play guitar on "What's Broken", saying: "That was a huge piece of generosity on Mark's part. We sent him the song and he just fucking killed it. He did me a huge favor and we don't even know each other. He's just brilliant." He went on to explain how he got Wynton Marsalis to play trumpet on "Holding on to Nothing", saying: "He's a consummate musician. "I took a chance and asked him and he just said, 'Yeah, send me the tape.' What he played was just beautiful. He has tone for days.
Aaron Lavery of "Drowned in Sound" gave the album a six out ten, saying "Anyone expecting a Bowie-esque return to centre stage or a fiery riposte in the style of Neil Young will be disappointed – but Crosby has never been a master of reinvention or an instinctive musical wanderer. If you’re looking for a neat musical reminder that David Crosby is one of the most influential men of his era – and can still sparkle with some of that same musical magic today, Croz is a worthy listen"
Superb
He could throw together a not to bad back up band also
"What's Broken" is a song included on Crosby's 2014 studio album "Croz" It is his first studio album in 20 years. Interesting collaboration with Mark Knopfler on guitar, and Wynton Marsalis on trumpet, in the song "Holding on to Nothing". Amazing.

Can someone please, please tell me why Melissa Etheridge chose 58 year old David Crosby to be the biological father of her kids, especially after his near death from drug use and multiple health issues?
"So I'm sailing for tomorrow, my dreams are a-dyin'
And my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain
I have my ship and all her flags are a-flyin'
She is all that I have left, and music is her name
Think about
Think about how many times I have fallen
Spirits are using me, larger voices callin'
What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
(I've been around the world) I have been around the world
(Lookin') Lookin' for that woman girl
Who knows love can endure
And you know it will
And you know it will"

"... please tell me why Melissa Etheridge chose 58 year old David Crosby to be the biological father of her kids, "
No offense against the artists but perhaps because she's just as wacked as he is/was? Who knows what runs through the minds of such people.
But, it means nada and has zero impact in my life, so I wish them well with the decision. If I was mentor to the child, though, I think I'd council staying away from certain substances. The genetic dice are probably loaded in that regard, and not in their favor either.
So it goes.

2/6/14 update: Absolutely love this song. Jerry Garcia's steel pedal guitar work is amazing. And hey kids, another reason to dig this album!:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_I_Could_Only_Remember_My_Name
"The album gained new recognition in 2010 when it was listed second on the Vatican's "Top 10 Pop Albums of All Time" as published in the official newspaper of the Holy See, L'Osservatore Romano. "
You just cannot make this stuff up.
me too!
I thought it sounded like Jack Casady. You sure it's Phil? I'll have to look into this...may be a purchase required too!
ETA: guess I shoulda done more back-scrolling. I can see this has been well-discussed!
ETAA: and holy cow, it was me making this same claim! Hahahaha
FYT
Perfect late night surreal, aural journey into meditative bliss.
yeah...wow.
A great underrated album!
