    Tears came to my eyes to hear three beautiful voices such a young ages Who cared enough about the music of my time understand the significance and make that video. I picked up my first guitar in 1963 and I've never put it down and when the music of Laurel Canyon started coming out and the singer songwriters came into my ear and I had the British invasion and the singer songwriters all the same time That became my life blood it has been that way oh my life and now that I'm 73 it will take me to the end of my life. So I thank you and I love to know that there are people like you out there to "carry-on" ... peace.

      that sound´s "fuller" and the voices of the girls Sammy and Maggie are in foreground...

    This song, by Crosby, Stills and Young, was one of my favorites growing up (I had a big brother who listened to them!), and remains one of my favorites, today,!
    I enjoy listening to covers, and would have to agree that yours is one of my favorites!
    The beautiful lighting (sun ☀️rays steaming in) gave your video a stunning effect!
    The acoustics in the room made your voices blend even better and added an ethereal sound quality!
    Kudos to whom ever recorded you~ if you set the entire thing up, yourselves… incredible, if you had help, they did a great job!
    To our dog loving friend… just shows you’re sensitive! I’m a Grandma and I still have a Teddy Bear 🧸! And a few cats! 🐈 🐈‍⬛ they are a great comfort! If I were being recorded. I’d hang on to something, too, for sure!
    Keep up the great work!

    I was too late but still it was that time before the internet and the vestiges of those communities that this song seemed to provided the soundtrack for were taking us demonstrators of 78 to 80 in... Seabrook, Rocky Flats, Barnwell, countless Co Ops and hippies still building that fragile dream then when the Whole Earth Catalogue was our internet. ☯️☮

    I have been a CSN fan for many years. When I found your cover it made me compare all of the covers I could find on you tube. Your voices are blended the best. The tempo fits your blend. It also feels real as opposed to an engineered product. I am now a fan.

    Liked and subscribed. Exquisitely done, and by an ensemble that is full of The Spirit.
    Reminds me of how wonderfully intimate the folk music of the 60's & 70's was, and what it felt like when I took my conga drums to the local coffee house to accompany some of the sweetest souls in God's creation. Believe it or not, back then a coffee house was for live music, poetry, storytelling and talking about the big issues of our time. Real social media...

    Helplessly Hoping
    Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers nearby
    Awaiting a word
    Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit
    He runs wishing he could fly
    Only to trip at the sound of good-bye
    Wordlessly watching he waits by the window and wonders
    At the empty place inside
    Hardlessly helping himself to her bad dreams he worries
    Did he hear a good-bye or even
    Hello
    They are one person
    They are two alone
    They are three together
    They are for each other
    Stand by the stairway you'll see something certain to tell you
    Confusion has its cost
    Love isn't lying its loose in a lady who lingers
    Saying she is lost
    And choking on hello
    They are one person
    They are two alone
    They are three together
    They are for each other

      Don Rice you said you've been playing this sing for several yrs.why is it that I'm seeing so many more covering this song lately.not that I'm complaining at all because csn and csny are an awesome group and I live this sing to,just seems like it's really become very popular lol.
      I also noticed in one of csn video that stills when he plays the g chord that he wraps his thumb around to hit the bass G.how often do you see people do that lol.this group did an awesome job and csn would be proud of it for sure.would like to hear your rendition of it to.i couldn't do it unless I dropped it down a couple keys because I sing more bass baritone lol

    • @jonstrait3575
      @jonstrait3575 Před 6 lety +2

      Yeah, this version is pretty nice. I'd say the harmony is much closer than most other covers I've heard, though I hesitate to say that it's very close to the original. I just again listened to the original CSN, and am struck by how much these guys were pros at creating such a smooth, rich harmony by that time in their careers. Stills the steady base, Nash flying high, and Crosby the subtle clutch; topping the cake. I feel that Crosby's part is the hardest to get right, making the difference between feeling satisfying-sexy or falling a little flat.
