"Southern Cross" by Crosby, Stills, and Nash is a must listen. Stills sings lead on it.
Treetop flyer is a hit from his basement tracks.
Actually he wrote the song. Check out from his Manasses album a little tune called Johnny's Garden. Cheers
I agree on "Southern Cross" and "4 + 20"
Absolutely.
I think it gets blocked a lot so you’ll have to do something to get it through.
Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young were a "supergroup" formed of members of other bands. David Crosby came from the Byrds, Graham Nash from the Hollies, and Stephen Stills and Neil Young from Buffalo Springfield. Other supergroups like Traffic and Cream were a very big deal at the time.
"Low Spark of High Heel Boys" 💞
What do you mean at the time? They are still a much bigger deal and more important than any act today...and always will ne
The biggest super-group actually came about at the mid to late 80's, The Traveling Wilburys of course.
@@gershman23 The Firm, ABBA, Blind Faith, Derek and the Dominoes, Bad English, Damn Yankees and Asia were also supergroups.
Steve Winwood'ds work with Spencer Davis and Traffic is yet to be explored and his collaborations with Clapton (Blind Faith) Hendrix (Electric Ladyland) and more
On this LP (I believe it was Still's first solo LP), he had Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Rita Coolidge and Ringo Starr! The reason the vocals are so amazing is mainly because Rita Coolidge, Mama Cass and Graham Nash are singing. Give him a break... apparently he was in a break-up (and jonezing mode) re. Rita.
Fun fact:
David Crosby and Graham Nash sang backup on this great classic, as did Lovin' Spoonful's lead man John Sebastian and Rita Coolidge, as well.
What? Holy Star Spangled Backup Choir
So it was Crosby, Stills, and Nash
Bette Midler, as well.
I always got the impression there was a reason he couldn't be with the one he loved - she was taken. That's what I always assumed.
@@SusanJohnston wasn't it just Crosby Stills and Nash at Woodstock?
This is what we meant by "free love" back in the '60s.
Hippie-ness at its best! Free love, beads, peace signs and desert boots - a time gone by!
I loved desert boots.
@@roseblake5803 Me too. I still have a pair I bought a couple years ago. 🤓
That's what it was!
Nope fanboy not hippy but then top 40 garbage lovers never know the good music
Plain and simple, Stephen Stills is a genius.
Per Songfacts, Stephen Stills delivers some musical zen in this song: "If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with."
It seems to be directed at one who has been dumped ("turn your heartache right into joy"), letting him know that he's better off getting with the girl right next to him than pining for his ex. It could also be seen as a message of free love. Stills called it "a good times song, just a bit of fun."
According to Stills (as stated in the liner notes to the CSN boxed set), he got the title from Billy Preston, who said it at a party. Stills asked his permission to use it, and Preston agreed.
Stills got a lot of help from his famous friends on "Love The One You're With." His CSN&Y bandmates David Crosby and Graham Nash sang background, as did John Sebastian, Rita Coolidge and Priscilla Jones.
You Nailed it!
That is how I had interpreted, so I'm glad to here it confirmed from the artist's perspective.
I never knew Rita Coolidge sang in this. She does have a beautiful voice.
I see it more as the words of a musician on the road in the '60's. Misses his missus but hey...
@@DamnSkippyToo R U kidding? It's about indiscriminate hook up
Dont forget... This was the era of "Free Love". Hippiness at its finest. My hippie Mama loved Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.
Sometimes someone you love doesn't love you back, or it's not reachable...but there is always someone there to share love with.
Stills has a very distinctive voice. Whenever you get around to listening to "Southern Cross" you will love it.
I'm a 65 year old man. You guys were not around in the hippy era.. 😊Peace and love was in the air..
Love the one your with is a mantra from that time..
Peace ❤️
Another great Crosby, Stills and Nash song to review is "Wasted On The Way" which came out in the summer of 1982. That year was a comeback year for them since "Southern Cross" was released later that year. I love both of these songs and they are talented musicians.
Both excellent songs, and I'm glad you brought them up :D
I second "Southern Cross". Very yachty.
Nope that was their lame over commercialized song and album only liked by wimpy boys
Shortly thereafter, another Stephen Stills single was "Change Partners" in 1971. So much for commitment. Ha ha.
Helplessly Hoping is a great old song of Stephen's from the debut album Crosby, Stills & Nash
Still Hippie Beautiful.
Thank you.. Stephen Stills.
Crosby, Stills and Nash song to really bring home Stephen's voice is Southern Cross.
The song is basically saying "Hey, if the girl you loved left you and you can't be with her, quit your whining and love the girl who is with you. :)
Stephen Stills "Treetop Flyer" & "Change Partners"...Nuff Said.
Manassas + Treetop Flyer - both amazing.
This song was a product of the 60’s / 70”s free love era - hence Love the One You’re With.
One of the best songs of the 70s I think. It is true to the era, but so much more innocent than the gangster rap/trap so-called top 40 of today which is total trash.
I was just going to say this.
Yes, absolutely 💯 . Before HIV crept in like a hurricane when the '80s arrived and changed everything.
Cracked me up when Amber realized the lyrics. Love your reactions.
"Southern Cross" from Crosby, Stills and Nash is a MUST for anyone wanting to hear him/them at their best.
Amber, loved the look on your face when you realized the true meaning of this song. They were different times back then, I doubt if this song would get any airplay today. Stills is my favorite from C,S,N&Y. This is from his first solo album and he called on many friends for help. Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix played on this album, as well as Ringo Starr, and Booker T (from the MG's) on organ. As noted below so many great singers doing backgrounds. His second album, Stephen Stills 2 was great but when he formed the band Manassas, whoa!!! Other songs to check out: Change Partners, Church (Part of Someone) shows off his gospel roots, Sit Yourself Down, Sugar Babe, Colorado, Johnny's Garden, The Love Gangster, The Treasure. I could go on and on. Great reaction y'all, more Stephen Stills please!
It wouldn't get airplay today because of meaning? I mean, sure, I guess "W.A.P." ain't free...
The one that might raise an eyebrow is "Triad", by Crosby. Yep, Dave wants them both…at once.
This is one of the iconic, representative songs of the Woodstock era, and yes, they were serious about the free love part. I just read a memoir from a prominent activist of that period, Judy Gumbo, and sexual fidelity was not really a thing for a lot of people at the time. The author and her main boyfriend both had physical relationships with other people and talked about it, with apparently no obvious jealousy.
There were also many people in the late '60s and '70s who *thought* they could practice "free love" with little or no consequences, and it ended up being a much more serious thing than they had anticipated, with relationships and marriages breaking up over it, etc.
Represents the era of "free love!"
@@thomastreece6773 No. It's just stark reality. You can't look at everything through your rose-colored hippie glasses.
@@thomastreece6773 I'm not a member of the GOP, and I would utterly hate to live in a theocracy. Congratulations on a predictable, dismissive, knee-jerk response to what I wrote though! "Free love" can be quite costly. I've been there, as have many other people!
@@thomastreece6773 Wut?
"Southern Cross" is one of my favorite CSN songs, and one of my favorite songs ever. I think you'll love it. (And by the way, because I know you'll ask, the Southern Cross is a constellation seen in the southern hemisphere that has been used throughout history to help ships navigate.)
... does anyone remember Free Love and those Times & Trysts we all had? I'm not pushing to have that back again, but wow, times were much simpler back then. Almost no friction between races. Every race that you can imagine were Partying & Playing together throughout Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. Peace, Love & a bit of Dope. Wonderful.
This song makes me smile no matter the kind of day I am having.
Give examples
The The Isley Brothers did a smooth and soulful cover of this song. We learn something new everyday, because their version was the only one that I heard back in the day.
Loved the Isley Bros version. Also their version of Spill The Wine.
Same with me. Agree completely!
@@vizzini589 "Spill the Wine" and "Love the One You're With" are both on the Isley's "Givin' It Back" album of all cover songs.
Ok! YES!! I was thinking about Steven and guys like him today. I remembered Dave Mason. A founder of Traffic. Worked with and wrote with so many of the greats. Over the course of his career, Mason has played and recorded with many notable pop and rock musicians, including Paul McCartney, George Harrison, the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Michael Jackson, David Crosby, Graham Nash, Steve Winwood, Fleetwood Mac, Delaney & Bonnie, Leon Russell, and Cass Elliot.
You would REALLY enjoy Let it Flow, All Along the Watchtower, We Just Disagree, Only You Know and I Know, Feelin Alright (you'll recognize Joe Cocker's version).
Yes, Dave Mason is an unknown on these reaction channels but sure worth checking out.
He's touring (Dave Mason). We caught him as the opener for The Marshall Tucker Band a couple months ago and he was incredible. Doug Gray gave us plenty of nostalgia for MTB, but Dave Mason is much better preserved and plays a great mix of songs from his career. See him if you can. His Feelin' Alright with Traffic or his solo We Just Disagree would make great reactions!!
@@williameisenman9008 I'd love to see Let it Flow and Only You Know and I Know! 🤣
I love that entire Alone Together album.
Can't Stop Worrying, Can't Stop Lovin
Sad and Deep as You
Look at You Look at Me
Dave Mason, so unique -
@@williameisenman9008 I saw him live a few years before COVID - great show!
Oh my….we’ve finally made it here.
*HELPLESSLY HOPING*
Buffalo Springfield is best known for their song "For What It's Worth", and CSN&Y's "Deja Vu" album is a must listen. Songs like "Woodstock", "Teach Your Children", "Helpless", and "Almost Cut My Hair." 😉♥
I still have my copy I purchased in 1970 at age 25. Awesome music.
Almost Cut My Hair is a great one. I think David Crosby sings lead on that.
Just listened to that album the other day, great tunes there ✌🏽
Their debut "Crosby, Stills & Nash" is just as great - and their 1977 "CSN" is a solid album.
Totally agree about the tracks off Deja Vu. Everything on that album is good!
One of the great things about music is the different interpretation of the lyrics. To me this song isn't about hooking up when your not with your loved one but rather finding love when the one you love doesn't love you. Getting over your own heartache and moving on with another.
Song title came from Stephen Stills after Billy Preston was often known to say," If you can't be with the one You Love, Then Love the one you're With.
Great tune with great instruments. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
Going from memory on this, but I believe that Stills not only did the vocals, guitar and keyboard, but also laid in the backing track for the steel drums!
Another excellent song by Stills is Change Partners!
Oh this is such an excellent song. Good choice. ❤️
“Southern Cross” is a MUST when listening to any CSN ❤️
This was a big hit for Stills as a solo artist and it’s emblematic of an attitude of the ‘60s and ‘70s - free love and all that. I recently attended a Graham Nash concert and he played this song. All us Boomers in the audience sang the chorus - “love the one you’re with” - and I loved that moment! Stills did a lot of good stuff on his own. I especially love his double album called Manassas. Lots of Latin influence.
While I suppose that the line “Love the one you’re with” could be interpreted a number of ways; how I’ve thought of it is that we have ideals for the one we want to love and often they can be unrealistic. So, take a look around and appreciate those that you might be capable of sharing a great life filled with everlasting love with someone that’s not necessarily your ideal person. There’s no need to keep holding out for perfection (that doesn’t exist) and love the one you’re with!
Dave Cardinal Your interpretation is far too deep. I would call it a psycho/spiritual take on song words that, to me at least, convey a very basic message concerning a very basic need. Simply put, this was the 70s when liberation was the fashion when it came to sexual expression. Stills was saying that if you're in a situation where 'horniness' strikes big time, and your main squeeze ain't around, and there's some goodlooking babe giving you the sly eye - then go for it! Again, just my point of view. Others may differ.
@@jaycorby Nah, I agree with Dave's take.
Helplessly Hoping by CSN. Great great vocals and song
It's good advice people often don't want to hear. You may get burned in love, lose someone who means everything to you, beyond any possibilty to repair it. It sucks, but it happens. But you know what? It doesn't mean your life is over, either. Don't close your heart to the possibility of finding joy with someone else down the road.
Jay & Amber, you heard Stephen in Buffalo Springfield's song "For What Its Worth". I saw Crosby, Stills and Nash in August 1982, great show!!
Stephen Stills wrote about 12 songs for CSN and 15 for Buffalo Springfield
I saw CSN 3 times in the 80s and you couldn't ask for a better concert. Loved their harmonizing. I have several of their songs on my Playlist and they never grow old
Stephen wrote a lot more than 12 CSN songs. And in the studio he played just about all the guitars and keyboards
Wonderful song thank you Amber!! Teach your children well" Crosby, stills And Nash. Buffalo Springfield" for what Its Worth" !
This MUST HEAR Classic HITS LIKE A BRICK!!,, The Ides Of March "Vehicle"
Agreed.
"I'll take you anywhere you wanna go."
It's Deep. How many people shut down their feelings after a break-up? This Song tells you that there's other hearts out there, and to give THEM a chance!
It was a different time, you guys! 😁 Fun song.
He sang For What it's Worth with Buffalo Springfield in 67. Loved this back then, still do. Great singer was with CSN& Young very successful career
Check out Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Amazing harmonies and incredible lyrics! Southern Cross highlights Steven Stills.
Stephen Stills masterminded the work of Crosby, Stills and Nash by spending a huge amount of time in the studio with their drummer and refining every track.
the line that always hits home for me is when the eagle flies with the dove
"Love The One You’re With." Those were the times: FREE LOVE!
Wish you could do some CSN song/video, like "Suite Judy Blue Eyes" that would highlight Steven Stills guitar playing. He is an amazing acoustic guitar player.
I have probably loved this song before this album even came out. One of my favorite things about this song is the steel drum being played. It adds a fantastic sound that you don't hear in too many pop or rock songs. If anyone here knows who was playing it and would share that information, I sure would appreciate it.
Gotta go straight to Stills doing, “Treetop Flyer,” “Dark Star,” and “Southern Cross,” with his band mates. CSNY, was one of the earliest groups selling out stadiums shortly after Woodstock. (Treetop Flyer is a personal favorite of Stills’ solo work) Enjoying the channel.🤘😎
I love Dark Star
That whole album with Treetop Flyer is excellent. I also love Dark Star.
@@tamifaulkner4103 Indeed! The residue of a misspent youth, with no regrets. 🤘😎
Raise A Voice is also a good song.
Agreeing with some others here. Dark Star is IMO one of if not THE best songs from CSNY lyrically. Musically it's no slouch as well! That guitar riff and the percussion! 'chef smooch'
Stephen Stills is a musical hero of mine. When I was 14 I stated to my friends that I wanted to be able to sing and play like Stills one day. At 58 I can honestly tell you that I failed beautifully.
You need to remember, this fantastic song was recorded in the early '70s during the Vietnam war! Peace!
And Graham Nash/ Chicago ‘we can change the world
If you can't be with the one love, love the one you're with. One of the best lines in music!
Back in the early 90's, right before they hit it big, Hootie & the Blowfish played the commons area at my brother's college. They covered this song, and I laughed when my brother told me about it. Why? It was an all-male college (Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia).
There's a song from that album called "Go Back Home" with Eric Clapton. Great blues song and solo.
You'll love it.
It's on the same album as "love the one your with".
That album is filled with masterpieces. Try any and all of them. Good Times Bad Times has Stills with Hendrix helping out on guitar. Go Back Home has Clapton on guitar in the last section with Stills still playing his guitar part. You cannot miss on this album.
Phenomenal album
If you've not given Suite Judy Blue Eyes a listen, it's a must.
Also, Twenty Feet From Stardom is Doc you MUST watch!
Wow, Amber, for your movie time if you want some really good history watch the 3 part series of "Laurel Canyon". It has all of your favorite 60's singers and explains what it was like during that period of time it's absolutely fascinating. Mama Cass Joni Mitchell Jim Morrison Crosby stills Nash Frank Zappa the whole canyon. How all this wonderful music came to be and has you both listening to it to this day.
💯
And then maybe listen to Blues From Laurel Canyon by John Mayall for added flavor!
Yes, Laurel Canyon was fascinating. Also great is The Wrecking Crew documentary.
Laurel Canyon is the best series.
The best part of your reactions is that you're liking what we liked all those years back. These songs that you're hearing will continue to be passed down I hope.
This song comes from smack dab in the middle of the free love era.
The first time I heard this song was in 1971, live at the Philadelphia Academy of Music. It was performed by Demitri Kallis during a Four Seasons concert. Kallis had just replaced Tom DeVito, a founding member, who was fired from the group. They knocked it out of the park. RIP to Demitri and Tommy.
When you get back to Crosby Stills and Nash, add Neil Young (CSNY) and try OHIO.
Back in the late 60's and in the 70's, it was called the free love era. Before AIDS and other deadly diseases, anything you did get was fixed with penicillin. I remember befoe my wife and I got married, she lived in this apartment complex with a couple of her friends. I used to stay there when our ship was in port, I was in the navy. I found out that in this complex, Friday and Saturday evenings and nights, almost everyone would leave their doors open and it was a singles party all weekend. We didn't partake in anything other than smoking pot and drinking. Every door open kind of had an open bar for the weekend, you supplied your own pot. Everyone also had stereo systems and played whatever they liked. You could pick which apartments you wanted to go by standing near the pool in the middle of the complex. Literally hundreds of apartments were open.
It was really another time that won't ever be repeated.
I see a few mentions below and I agree. "Southern Cross" by CSN is an excellent choice going forward.
I agree well written song.
You have to remember this is the late 60’s. Early 70’s. “” Love the one your With”””. Had a whole different meaning and Vibe
Stephen Sills is an amazing guitarist. He and Judy Collins were an item. The song Suite Judy Blue Eyes is in honor of her. Judy Collins' eyes are mesmerizing. She also is an amazing singer. One of my favorites. I wish I had her voice. Her version of "The City of New Orleans " is great.
Whales & Nightingales
I've heard that Stills wrote this song after his breakup with Judy Collins, who he still loved. Kind of a follow-on to Suite Judy Blue Eyes. Hence the "love the one you're with" which was all he could do at the time.
Steve Stills also formed Manassas after CSN & Y.
‘It Doesnt Matter’ or ‘Johnnys Garden’ are gems. 😊😊
After my grandmother died in her 70s, my grandfather remarried a lady he met at the assisted living. While visiting my parents house with her he actually said in front of her “if you can’t be with the one you love, love the one you’re with”. Our jaws dropped- lol. He was NOT from that time period to be saying that 😂
It's saying that the one you really want, love, doesn't want you....don't dwell on it...have fun...love the one you're with
When you're ready for more from Stephen Stills and friends, check out Crosby, Stills, & Nash (& Young) "Wooden Ships", "Woodstock", "Carry On", "Long Time Gone", "Teach Your Children", "Almost Cut My Hair", "Helplessly Hoping", "Ohio", and "Helpless" along with many others. And for icing on that cake, check out the Buffalo Springfield "Bluebird", "Mr. Soul", "I Am A Child", "Kind Woman", "On The Way Home" and so many more!
Mike - Your taste in music and mine run parallel! CSN & Y are my absolute favorite from back in the day. Later this month ( 9/25 ) I'll turn 77, and I can still get lost in the Deja Vu album I bought in '70 at age 25. Guess I'm stuck in a time warp! Cheers.
That kind of the 60's motto. Love the one you're with. "Southern Cross" is a definite listen with Stills singing.
Love Stephen Stills - thanks for checking out his solo work! He’s a great songwriter and incredible guitarist.
Stills' first solo... wow... packed with many great tunes and artist. Cass Elliott, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Booker T. Jones, and many others. And can't forget Jimi!!!
Forgot to mention the Manassas band. Look up the 1972 appearance on The Beat Club.
Stephen Stills was in one other band - Manassas. This band also featured Chris Hillman of The Byrds. Their biggest hit was "It Doesn't Matter".
When Stills was with Buffalo Springfield, he wrote a song called "Special Care". Fanny does a Fannytastic live version of "Special Care" from the Beat Club. I hope you play this on Female Friday.
Worlds best "Eh, might as well settle" song in rock and roll!
One of my all-time Favret songs Ever. Has to be in the top 10 summertime tunes.
This song never gets old. A life anthem and words to live by.
Another more bluesy rock side of Stephen Stills can be found on "Almost Cut My Hair" from the CSN&Y album Dèja Vú
And if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with! Awesome tune, good choice! ✌🇨🇦👍💯🎶🎼🎵
Great choice, he had quite the career and has tons to listen to. Try Wooden Ships by CSNY, an all time classic. The Jefferson Airplane also does a great version of that song. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎙🎹🎶
The music was written by Dave Crosby, the lyrics were by Stephen Stills and Paul Kantner of Jefferson Airplane. Paul’s manager with the Airplane would not allow the song to be released with his name on it so they did their own version.
Paul Welles ‘Wild Wood’ - simply beautiful
"Change Partners", (live version) would be the next solo Stills to hit. "Sit Yourself Down", "Isn't it So" and "Black Queen" (live version) are also really good. Have to put in a vote for CSN's "Southern Cross", it's really a great song.
I would love to see your reaction to two of the greatest songs from the 70's...Dave Mason- We Just Disagree and Poco- Crazy Love.
There is a cool old video of Tom Jones with Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young! Doing a live performance on stage. You have to check it out!
Stephen Stills is great guitarist too. Great feel for blues.
Stephen Stills is probably my favorite artist and he is an amazing musician. Some bands he was in: Buffalo Springfield, Crosby Stills Nash(CSN), Crosby Stills Nash and Young (CSNY), The Stills Young Band, Manassas, The Rides (with Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Barry Goldberg). I absolutely love Manassas in particular their initial double album. On the initial CSN Album, Stills played almost every instrument on the album.
In regards to this song you reacted to, I have heard Stills say in a couple interviews that he now hates it.
He has an great box set called Carry On, It is about 85 songs and all of it is great. It covers most if his career. ( “The Rides” 2 albums came out after this)
If you want to react to a performance of a song including another artist you like, you should react to “Long Time Gone” but the performance with Tom Jones. This song was originally a CSN song but in this version, Tom Jones sings it with CSNY. Stills in on keyboards and his voice is amazing.
One of the odd things about this song its use at wedding receptions. I think newlyweds focus on "love the one you're with" and overlook the "if you can't be with the one you love" part.
On this track, Steven performs Lead Vocal, Guitars, Organ, Steelpan (Caribbean Steel Drum); Calvin "Fuzzy" Samuel on Bass; Jeff Whittaker on Congas; Rita Coolidge, David Crosby, Priscilla Jones, John Sebastian, and Graham Nash on Backing Vocals.
Across the album are many stars: Guitarists Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton, King of the Hammond Organ Booker T. Jones, Drummers Ringo Starr (Beatles) John Baratta (the Turtles, Jefferson Airplane/Starship and CSNY), and Vocalist Mama Cass Elliot. - Thanks for today's smiles!
🎹🎸🎤🎤🎤🥁 😎
I've always loved this song because of the Choir type background singers. Another song that makes you feel really good singing. Though it does have a good message in the song. Love the one you're with. (But make sure your happy or it will end in a divorce. LOL)
🤣
The backup voices in this song are David Crosby, Graham Nash, Rita Coolidge, Priscilla Jones and John Sebastian!
Great song! Please react to Neil Young "Thrasher" album version. Incredible acoustic guitar and harmonic solo
And those lyrics
Stephen Stills was a member of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young and all are great artists
If you haven't heard "Southern Cross" by Crosby Stills and Nash (written by Stephen Stills) it's a MUST LISTEN!!!
You guys remember it was all about peace and love in the 60s and 70s, that's what it's talking about. great reaction guys
In my life heard so many claim he is advocating cheating on your love, but really he is saying don't be miserable alone (always felt the one he loved did not love him, so could not be with the one he loved), share love with who is with you. People need to share love to live (as opposed to merely existing) and sometimes it will be a short time love, but is still good for the spirit.
Mantra from the love generation - LOVE THE ONE YOU'RE WITH.
That was the vibe of the 70's. Love the one you're with.
I get chills every time I hear that slide into the organ solo.
