Ok, this is the last time I'm replying to you, so listen up. I have grown up listening to this kind of music, this is what I love. Now this song in particular holds a lot of meaning to me. I made this video because I wanted to share what I love with people. The million views just showed me that others appreciate this as much as I do. Now I'm sorry if it didn't come off that way, truly I am. This isn't about the views, I'm just happy that so many others love and share this song too.
Amen brother!!! I appreciate you posting this for everyone! Thank you :)
Godbless you, I love this song with all my heart, and I live by it in Tahiti❤
Haters got to hate
Thank you
Thanks for this precious gift
In my opinion, one of the greatest songs ever written!
1000percent
Agreed!!!
Nobody can harmonize like these guys
Absolutely!
yup!!
This song has so much meaning for me. When I was 23 I had the opportunity to travel to South America with my buddy and cruise around the Galapagos Islands. I had a small Walkman at the time because this is 41 years ago now, and to be 23 years old and having an opportunity to travel to such an exotic place was an awesome experience. So I went out on the deck one night after everyone had gone to sleep ,with this song playing in my headset and dancing under the Stars and under the Southern Cross and it was so exhilarating and such a milestone and benchmark in my life experience, it was just awesome. So the point is this song just brings back absolutely wonderful memories! When I play this song, even to this day I'm just immediately back in the Galapagos Islands on the deck of that beautiful cruise ship on a warm summer night under the Stars, and so grateful for such a beautiful life experience!
Great story!! Thank you for posting🥰
I enjoyed reading such a great story on a very sad day! Ty for sharing! RIP CROSBY! 1/19/23
I'm revisiting the CSN (and sometimes Y) catalogue after Crosby's passing. What a pleasure to listen to this song and read your splendid post. Many thanks for sharing!
Wow. Great memories. Feels like I was there.
All of us "old" sailors have some type of memory that ties in with this song.
I was a runaway from a crazy home. This was my kick ass song. I lived in in south central LA . I was saved by this music at 17 yrs old, 61 now and all my flags are a’flyin! And music is my name
One World4all Beautiful!
Songs are so much.
Umm. This song came out in 1982. I guess in ‘75 it was something else.
@@jasonr1732 I thinkyou got the remastered year mixed with its released year
Nice!
When I was 18 years old a looong time ago, I was standing a midnight watch on the USS America.So many stars in the sky, it was almost overwhelming. The bright blue-green glow of bioluminescent micro-organisms being churned up in the ship's wake. A warm wind and the slight vibration of the deck from a island of steel cutting through the Antlantic. This song popped into my head, and it all came together like God himself had handed me a moment of perfection and enlightenment, like it was all there just for me. I'll never have that moment again, but everytime I hear this song, I get pulled back to the memory of it.I pray that when I get old, and can't remember anything else, even my own name, that I can at least recall how I felt on that quiet night at sea.
Bless You
I have also stood the midnight watch. I know whereof you speak. Thank You
thank you for your service from one navy man to another
I was also on the carrier America..maybe thats Where I got these memories ive forgotren..
The USS America was my first ship after 2 years at Portsmouth Naval Hospital as Corpsman. Played it so many times in sick bay to relax my patients. Still calms me to this day.
"And we never failed to fail, it was the easiest thing to do." Some great lyrics, vocals in this song.
The lyrics to this songs are gold. "Think about how many times I have fallen".

I love all the positive affirmations. Medicine for me.
"... Spirits are using me.
Larger voices calling.."
❤
"Cuz the truth you might be running from
Is so small"
And for that special fucktwad:
"You will survive being bested.
Somebody fine is gonna come along make me forget about loving you!"
@@amandalynngibson8332 Steven Stills was on it with those lyrics.
My best part in this song is: I have been around the world, looking for that women girl, who knows love can endure 😊
Oh yeah
I've also been around the world, looking for that woman, girl. And I found her in a small coastal town on the Southeast Coast of S. Korea. We've been together now for 36 years.
This song could easily be re-released today and be a top ten hit for months. Probably the best single ever and I'm 56.
Kent Chandler sorry never will happen not rap and they never stole any music and called it sampling
Maybe as a country song
Yes
@@blainevolesky343 This song actually was played on some country stations back in the early 80s. 'Wasted on the Way' from the same album actually did make the Billboard Country Singles chart in 1982.
Absolutely totally agree
RIP David Crosby. This was one of the biggest songs of my life. I am praying for his family, bandmates, and friends
🙏❤️
I don’t listen to this song often, but when I do, I play it over and over and over
Harmonies like no one else. So much talent in one band.
I'm sure they're not the only ones capable of creating music of this caliber, but I'm 72 and haven't heard anyone equal them! I've been listening to them most of my life. Carry On is my all time favorite song.
"My love is an anchor tied to you; tied with a silver chain." Man I'd like to write something like that!
Pen to paper...open your heart.
That line hits home. Married 37 years and acknowledging all of the sacrifices and staying together!
We used to play this song over and over with my boyfriend now my husband back in 1982 still love the song to this day.
September and the rest of the Autumn of 1982, Room 266, Hemlock Dormitory, Mansfield State College, Mansfield, Pennsylvania, USA, the college radio station WNTE, 89.5, played this all the time.
I was twenty years old and became enchanted with the melody and the lyrics and I wondered where is this mystical and magical Papeete and Marquesas?
Then I saw the video and that orange cap he wears? Ever since then to this day I call my own cap just like the one he wore in the video my Stephen Stills cap, tho' mine is my preferred color of blue.
I also decided back then in 1982 that Someday Maybe I Was going to travel to Papeete and the Marquesas. It became a quest for me to complete the journey.
Forty-two years later and here I finally am with my wife and son who, ironically is twenty years old, like I was when Ii first heard the song.
I am listening to Stephen Stills singing “Southern Cross” as I type out this comment in Papeete, 18 June 24.
This Sunday, the 23rd, we will be in the Marquesas for ten days.
All I can say is, “Wow”.
I still cannot believe I am here.
Thank you Stephen Stills for inspiring me to come here.
I gotta say, every time I hear this song, I have to hit repeat a few times. Few songs can really do that.
This song is spiritual. If you haven't figurred it out, this song goes deeply into the soul of love and where your life is going.
❤ I’m quietly listening on repeat with tears rolling down my cheeks. The harmony is magical.
The great ones are.
The Southern Cross lies right off in the distance from my driveway in Hilo Hawaii. For a week after David’s passing I got up at 3 am & went to the end of the road with earphones & played this over & over again. It didn’t rain a drop that week…the sky was full, and the Southern Cross shown bright. RIL David! You MADE an entire era❤😢
If this song doesn't stir ur soul u have never loved so deeply and lost
Just the melody alone makes me weep. Anytime I hear this song, I feel I connect to an ancient emotion shared by collective humanity through all time. There are very few songs and music pieces that move me with such wonderful meaning. Southern Cross is one of those rare gems. What a gorgeous work of art. There’s something haunting about the melody and a genuine relatability in the poetry of the lyrics. The message of how insignificant our problems, worries, and conflicts can be when we’re in the presence of something far larger than us, like the majestic, starry, night sky is simply humbling.
You explain how I feel. This was one of the most underrated songs of the 80s. I loved it when i was a teenager and still love it at 55.
Well said
Lucy- You rock. Kindred sister
"I have my ship and all her flags are a' flyin'
She is all that I have left and music is her name."
Brilliant.
This song is exactly about me about a woman who I was in love with that wanted nothing to do with me and had every possible excuse not to be with me but yet you wanted my money unbelievable song I play it and I weep
myRadiotron I lost my wife in Feb..she was my woman girl..I still look to the future when I see her again..keep sailin..the storms almost over
Love that line
Great lyrics, astonishingly beautiful harmonies. Rock at its best.
After all these years i'm still amazed how those young guys could create lyrics, melodies, harmonies & feeling into songs such as this...it still takes my breath away...Larger Voices Callin'...
they actually took the lyrics from a poem someone wrote and tweaked em just right making this absolute beautiful song of all time.
That weren't that young, all very middle aged at this point. Greatness doesn't age
To hear this song is one of the profound reasons to stay alive. For me.
I was contemplating suicide then this song came on the radio. I felt compelled to listen to the whole song and I am still alive today and I owe it to this song.
hamishpearce007
Meant to be ...
I contemplate Suicide everyday, and every morning I wake up wondering why I am still here.....Soon I hope.
@@archerace7 I know
hamishpearce007 Don't go. Stay.
This song is a message sent from a higher power. A message from the past relevant to today. This song has the capacity to determine our destiny. I am on this boat on a north East by southwest course. I am on a silver chain connected.
I don’t know why, but still to this day when he says think about how many times I have fallen I still get emotional (Oh beautiful music).
I'm 25 and man I love the music of the older generations. I grew up on this stuff.
+TheBerkeleyBeauty I was named after Ian Tyson of Ian and Sylvia lol
+TheBerkeleyBeauty Nice
+TheBerkeleyBeauty Some interesting trivia lol....a guy name Claude Dallas, born in Winchester on Mar 11 1950, 41 years to the day before my birthday. Moved to Ohio,went to the same school my mom went to, a couple grades above her though. (she was born in 54) grew up to be an outlaw that killed two game wardens out west. Musician named Ian Tyson wrote a song about him...and mom,who loved his music..named me after him. Without having a clue of all the coincidental links.
ian tysons still alive in alberta.. blew his voice dueling a younger singer...
Ian Berry same. So glad my parents raised me on this. I rarely listen to the mainstream music of today
One of them most beautiful songs I have ever heard
mike reid me too
I agree. It moves me whenever I hear it.
Without a doubt.
Yep, truly awesome.
R.I.P. David Crosby, your music gets people to think how wonderful they are
This is one of the most uplifting songs I've ever heard.
One of the best written songs from that era!
Charles Sirius you mean “ever.”
Agree 100%
This is actually a remake of "Seven League Boots" by the Curtis Brothers. Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks sang on the original recording.
in the early 2000,s i got to go on a once in a lifetime trip across the pacific on an amazing boat with some good friends, we went to the south pacific and the marquesas islands, i must of played this song a 100 times looking at the southern cross in the night sky! lol, still brings me chills! RIP david crosby and thanx for the music brother
This is being played at my beloved Pa's funeral next Friday... beautiful lyrics and music..restful and soulful
This song may be one of the absolute best ever done, it brings a message of serenity, love, compassion and understanding......listening to this brings a smile and a tear......” and music is her name “......enjoy.
I remember my dad buying this on vinyl. Truly great times I'll never forget. RIP dad
It's so good to know that young people are listening to music like this. I bought this album back in the 80's when it came out. This stuff will live on forever, some of today's stuff will not.
Cindy Cain I'm happy to see people out there still recognize that some of us younger generation still appreciate and adore music when it was from the soul.
I have always loved this song, I lost my way to addiction and other things and I met the love of my life during this song, sixteen years later, love her more than ever!
inspiring, yes? got to be the strongest song from mr. stills ever. good luck out there, brotha'.
You are both blessed.
The more I listen to this song the deeper it gets...
The narrator knows sailing, his boat is order and he is making good time... his life is a mess though. He lost the love of his life and she is not coming back. The "Love will endure" line means he will never be over this. The promise of another day means his search will not end. It's actually pretty dark.
When the lead drops out of time with the song and the chorus rises it highlights his helplessness. He can sail his boat but he can't figure out why she left or how to get her back.
The listener is set at ease from the very start. Not a more enjoyable heading than when it’s both a reach and following seas. I wish more humans can experience this combination of thrill, speed, comfort, accomplishment, serenity and comradery. Very unique and never felt anything like it.
He doesn’t want her back…he wants her to find the love he can’t give her…because she is a gay man and he isn’t…but he will never stop loving her. No one in the music industry will ever stop loving that gay man…just how he will never stop loving any of them.
You nailed it perfectly- that's EXACTLY how I interpret it too- a lost love that he's not giving hope on is trying to find her, or yet knowing he needs to just let her go. Great paradox, eh?
@@tonyataylor4697
Really? That's what you get out of this? He loves a gay man? I mean seriously
@@tonyataylor4697 That is the interpretation you got from those beautiful lyrics written in the 70's? I am 67 years old & that song was a big part of my teenage years & young adult years. I know you probably won't see this, but I dislike how you have to insert "GAY" into a classic beautiful song. Shame on you.
Great song. This song is true for many of us. RIP David.
A masterpiece, a Michelangelo's David of music
When this song came out in '82, I was severely depressed. Picking out and singing each part helped a lot.
When I was young I never really had alot of confidence in myself, so one day my dad came and played this sing in the old radio, and ever since that day, that I listen to it, and heard the lyrics it would guve me the confidence to do things, big and small.
This song has substance, truth and talented artists. So grateful to have had the music of CSN&Y in my life.
Young had no part of this....thank Heaven!!!
@@jasonmcafee357 I have to agree with you on that! Hope you have a great July 4th.
I've been listening to CSN and CSN&Y songs since the passing of David. This has always been my favorite song of theirs. It's relatively cheery and more from my day than the earlier classics. But they have produced a great body of work over the years. RIP David Crosby, a profound and colorful human being and excellent musician.
I'd start every flight mission I had in Iraq with this song. It was calming flying over those lands.
Anthony Hall II Thanks for your service, Anthony!
Anthony Hall II Welcome home Brother! Thank you for serving.
Thanks to the both of you. Thanks for the support
Anthony Hall II Been there,done that, I know what it's like coming home. USN.
It's a challenge that's for sure, lol
This song has so much packed into it... deep sadness and overcoming what can beat you... it is strong as whiskey and a kick in the a$$!!! I love it for so many reasons!
I am too embarrassed to sing when others are watching.......till this song, I can belt it out for the whole world to hear.
Never be embarrassed especially when it comes to the soothing sounds of brilliant music!
Amen to that bro
No need to be embarrassed. I was at one time but life is just too freaking short. My wife and I were shopping in Wal Mart recently and Creeque Alley (Mamas and Papas) came over the air and we belted out the words from start to finish. I think another customer there did smile at us.
Your comment forced me to smile. I am filled with gratitude & resentment. So thank/fuck you.
I believe I remember hearing a voice on the wind singing something about having the strength to survive being bested.
The harmonies and phrasing are so amazing.
The lyrics are as beautiful as the harmony. Thank you CSN.
My dad listened to Crosby, stills and nash all the time when i was growing up. He passed away 4 months after my mother. That was 5 years ago. This song...came up on my youtube play list. I am sobbing. It makes me think of my dad so much. Him playing his guitar and singing this.
What a memory this song triggers. Sitting on the beach at night next to a fire watching the stars listening to this. Phenomenal.
"...in Colorado..."
Yea an that would have been just fine who ever you are!
I had this song in my mind whilst down in Cornwall, watching the ships going out to sea
One of the most beautiful rock songs ever written!!!!!!!!!
I really love the last set of lyrics. Perfect way to finally come to terms with a failed marriage.
the best thing about a well written song is that it has a special meaning for the writer, he/she tries to show that in the lyrics and the messages within. For us the listeners it could be heard by one million people and each one of us would have a different meaning to it, a time, a place, an event or sorrow or pure elation, and every answer is just as valid as the next and these emotions though all different, bring folks from every walk of life together for the duration of the song, I have loved this song from the first time I heard it, I didnt know about constellations or hemispheres or any of it, all I knew was that a time I was in a place in my life that was very painful and I heard this song, it gave me the courage to allow myself to cry and let my pain out, to me it was the first step in a healing process that took many years, I felt it was written just for me and I still do today, I love to read the comments after these songs, I love seeing that others have used this song to heal, to be reminded, to rejoice or to just feel safe, it is the power of music that makes it so two folks that have never met, could be total opposites in everything, but upon hearing this song could be stopped dead and begin to sing along with each other with completely different emotions flowing through them, Very very cool, and to you that served I say THANK YOU, being Canadian, service was something I never really thought of as a thing to do but I always knew there were folks that did and that kept me safe, again I say THANK YOU, there is one thing I can never understand and maybe a service person could tell me, how in the hell did you ever overcome the fear you must have felt in order to do your duty? This is something I will never understand. What a great song, thanks for letting me ramble
Thank you for such beautiful words yourself!!
I'm 18 and absolutely adore this song. Wish music was still produced like this
You've got it right, boy. I'm nearly 80 and I know what's good and what isn't. This one's good.
You've got great taste in music and I think many of us would agree with you ❤
This song is a poetic masterpiece! It must be age creeping in but my eye's full up with tears. Kind of forgot how great CSN are. Thanks!
attackspeed9 great song
@attackspeed9: I couldn't agree more. Absolutely brilliant classic performed by superb musicians. Perfect, never to be bested! My favourite song.
i tear up as well.
I try to listen to this song AT LEAST ONCE A DAY. This song takes me back to my childhood; there was a very special man in my life then; my then step-dad John C. Degenhardt. he would drive me to my grandmothers house to catch the bus in the morning, this song seemed to come on every morning as we sat in the car waiting. I ran into him a few years ago, but never have gotten the chance to catch up with him. I continue to be hopeful that we will be able to do just that SOOON.
It just so happened a few months ago, at the very saddest and toughest moment of my life (the day certain ones took my son Mark out of my house) that SOMEONE had sent this song to me just when I needed it most. I am still not sure who then sender was; I just want to say THANK YOU for that!! It meant more to me than you could have ever known...and at that moment it was truly, "ALL THAT I HAD LEFT" and the only kindness that anyone had shown to me IN MONTHS! And since that day it continues to be one of the only kindnesses that has been shown to me in these months since then.
BY THE WAY, THE DOLPHINS IN THE VIDEO THAT HAD BEEN SENT WAS A HELP TO ME ALSO; HAVING SPECIAL MEANING. GREAT VIDEO!! HELPED ME TO ENDURE THE MANY TROUBLES THAT I WAS THEN FACING, AND FIND PEACE WITHIN TO CONTINUE THROUGH ALL THINGS.
SINCERELY AND TRULY, YOU ARE LOVED AND APPRECIATED BY ME.
One of the best songs ever.....lots of hidden meaning and great vocals. True talent here. Beautiful song, I listen to it a few times a week....reminds me on when I was younger and riding with my Dad in his truck
A truly timeless tune. Maybe their best. Really great!
I was very young when this song came out,even so it did something to me. When i entered high school i joined the concert choir. At the end of the school year we had a show i was picked to put it together. I sang this song with 2 fellow classmates and the choir did the backing vocals. We got a standing ovation! This song will always remain special to me.
Every now and again, I play this song and I remember why I took to the seas..and miss every moment I spent on her waters.
A song that speaks to me in beauty & the soul of the ocean, when ever I listen to it. A gem amongst many of David's jewels. Love you David & thanks for the music 🎉😊
This song reminds me so much of my mom. She loved this song when I was younger. I keep this song on my playlist
RIP brother. 💜💜💜
one of the truly epic songs. None better.
I don't know why but I had plied my trade in Sothern waters more than once but I never looked for it, the Sothern Cross. I was on a run just south of Pagan Island in 2011. On that run I first saw the Southern Cross. When I looked up and saw it I saw the Milky Way too! Couldn't help but feel that silver chain, the one that ever ties me to you! All the emotions from those years of long gone by hit me like a title wave. Even though you passed back in 1979. Truly made me know that I was glad to have come that way...
I'm 33 and I love this song. Good music doesn't get stuck in one era or another
I was just about to give up on a lot of stuff tonight ... this restores my hope!
Aww Fred I don't beleive mama raised a quitter!!! Keep ur head high and face it like the strong man u are!!! Its just a storm that will pass by.. Jesus loves you!!!
Such a truly beautiful, evocative song... It is like a heavenly miracle, given through Crosby, Stills, and Nash to all who love sailing on the sea, and love stellar music!
Matthew Roberts I’m glad u think that ,would never happen not rap and CSN and Y never stole any music calling it sampling !
Salute, Anthony, and thank you for your service. 🇺🇸🇺🇸. Our son was also bombing in Syria and Iraq in 2015. Just happy you all were safe. God bless.
I just love the music of my generation,nothing will ever come close to it ever again.
This was a time to listen to the lyrics of the music we had back then.
we Always
had such
Beautiful music in the sixties
Steve Krygsman, this was recorded in 82' I believe?
#3 cut of the 'Daylight Again " album recorded in 1980-81 , released in June 1982
WOW! Every time I hear this song, I feel transcendent! And I've heard it many, many times. It's even more powerful with the lyrics visible. Stephen Stills is one of the greatest songwriters and vocalists in music history! Brilliant!
im very young, and i absolutely love this song. great song
Love this song!! Still sounds fresh after all these years!
I hear this song and I hear a story about the special gift given to me and my girlfriend--each other. It was a very special gift from Heaven.
Saw CSN&Y re-unite for the first time in a LONG time in 1991, at the Santa Monica Civic for a benefit. It was for Dallas Taylor, their drummer, who needed a liver transplant. WHAT A SHOW. Neil also did a solo set, as did Don Henley, and Chris Hillman from The Byrds....with his group The Desert Rose band. All acoustic show.....in front of approximately 2500 sets of lucky eyes. UNBELIEVABLE show.
I heard this song for the first time on a college station in the late 90's! why was this not on the radio constantly in the early 80's??? Fantastic
They don’t write lyrics and music like this anymore. Best era of music ever.
This was my favorite song when I was just 3 years old. My dad always used to tell me that I would beg him to play it over and over again before I went to sleep, so he ended up burning it on a disc 15 times! It still holds a special place in my heart.
aww what a cute widdle girl
I hope we all never forget what we are capable of......thankfully we have songs like this to remind us and inspire us to try to regain ground we have lost and maybe even one day reach farther..............hopefully we will have enough time.
THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF MY FAVORITES!! CAN’T WAIT TO MEET YOU AT “THE SOUTHERN CROSS” MR. CROSBY!!! RIP! 💔💔💔
Our story is not over
Not for the rest of my life will I stop thinking of you

could listen to this another 40 years..............am 58, hope i live that long....
I just found out David Crosby died. This was my favorite song from csn. Rest in peace David. You will be missed whenever anyone hears your songs.
These dudes make some simple chord arrangements, monumental.True talent.
Thanks for posting these lyrics. I have always loved this song.
I was in Vietnam when, one night looked up and saw, to my amazement, the Southern Cross constellation....the same as the Americal shoulder patch I wore. This song and that moment were like an Epiphany, then.
I am a nzer the southern cross is on our flag & in our hearts.Glad you survived come visit see it again
@@andrewchard2488 Thank You!
🤣🤣 Considering the song wasn't recorded until 1981 - released 1982

@@NOWOKEXYZ Was going to apologise, but won't bother now
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, the iconic folk-rock supergroup, has held a special place in my heart for as long as I can remember. Their harmonious blend of vocals, poignant songwriting, and captivating melodies has always struck a chord with me. From the introspective lyrics of "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" to the haunting beauty of "Helplessly Hoping," their music has been a soundtrack to my life. As I listen to the timeless tunes of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, I'm reminded of the enduring power of music to move, inspire, and comfort. Their music has been a constant companion through both the joys and challenges of life, and I continue to find solace and joy in their unparalleled artistry. For me, their music is not just a collection of songs; it's a profound and enduring love affair with the magic of CSN.
Love it, always have. Now landlocked, I miss sailing more than I imagined...
This is in my top ten of all time. Can listen to it many times in a row. Will have to sit down someday and make that top ten list. Will probably have twenty, but this will be high up. Wish we could thank the writer and the group for all the joy they have brought with this song.
15 years old. My old man was never a big music man, I grew up on the stuff I heard on the radio from the backseat, mostly Bruce Springsteen etc. I missed out on this, and boy am I glad I found it. I’m playing this for my kids in the future.
This song not only takes you on a trip but talks about sorrow then again moving on. Great song. And for Steven stills to be almost half deaf with his hearing impairment blows my mind!!!
What's amazing about this song is their is a real southern cross of stars off the coast of Australia I saw it when I was in the Navy.
just a beautiful and powerful song. in true Stephen Stills fashion it speaks from and to the heart.
William Ferebee I agree totally helps me when depressed
Song was written by Crosby
@@louiszippittelli9345 nope. The song was written by Stephen Stills, and Richard and Michael Curtis.
@@dsmith9964
LOVE THIS SONG !! SOMEBODY DID COME ALONG AND I'VE ALMOST FORGOT ALL ABOUT YOU !! AND IT'S REAL AND HAS ENDURED !!
Thank you God !!!!
60's child...so influenced by these three singer/song writers. I have defined many of my experiences by the lyrics and settings of their music. Not that I've listened much to contemporary music since the mid '80's but to me there is something deeply spiritual that has been missing...something which it seems, again, to me, ...that was there in the 60's and 70's that has not been there since. "God bless the boy's who make the noise." Thank you for posting.
One of the most beautiful lyrics!!! RIP David Crosby🙏🏻🙏🏻
I play this song every Saturday morning as I ride from Oceanside to Huntington Beach just before sunup. I just stare out over the water at sunrise and hope to see a wooden ship.......
That must be 1 difficult ride! I love looking at the Pacific ocean as well. I'm from Northern Cali, by SF. This song, I do believe. is about the Civil War and those Wooden Ships would be long gone on the Atlantic Ocean. Instead, look for whales! I do compliment you on your like/love of this lovely song! xo
my dream is going to alaska ..I 'd like to see the Aurora Borealis..
+Nancy Brunetto Stephen Stills wrote this song going through a shit divorce. its not truly about being on a ship but FINDING YOURSELF
Exterminence: I've seen them in concert several times over the last couple of years, and he's really struggling.
