A requiem for our Oceans, and Her most magnificent inhabitants. If this song doesn't both thrill you and break your heart, you need to go spend a month at sea... The harmonies here are just amazing...
I agree Tom, but this song, with the very emotional Music,and Lyrics, seems to me incomparable. I had a good deep, lengthy cry over the thoughts and feelings this tune resurrected from deep inside. It's all so heartbreaking, when I think and feel it.
one of the most haunting songs of all time , I have played it on my keyboards hundreds of time and it chokes me up every single time....a true masterpiece in every sense of the word!
Although this wasn't originally a CSN song (Crosby and Nash did it with James Taylor on their duet album), I still love the way that CSN does this song exactly the same and it's still just as stunningly beautiful. The only sad part is that nobody heeded their call in the seventies and now the song is even more relevant today! Maybe one day, the whole world will listen to this gorgeous, sad song together and vow to change course! ❤😢
The original is great but Stephen Stills' baritone makes this complete. It still brings tears to my eyes, especially as we lost David Crosby. God bless Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young (whether present or not).
I have cried a few times listening to this tune over the years, not just due to sadness of what we do to our oceans and natural environment, but as an allegory to what we do to ourselves and each other daily.
I've not heard this version, but its' stunning in its simplicity. The way these guys voices blend is unmatched. For the animals on planet Earth...Its a shame you have to die...Maybe we'll go...Maybe we'll disappear.
Stephen didn't play on the album version. That was ably done by James Taylor who also provided backing vocals. Hard to tell the difference, at least to my untrained ears.
WHAT A GREAT SONG!! Wish I could get to concerts but am disabled now,.. would take a lot. That said, Stephen Stills is really underrated badass guitarist, and the group are the best 3-part harmony anywhere.
Agree with that assessment about best three-part harmony. The only group that I think comes close to matching them for harmonization is the Doobie Brothers.
They received an award for this on a tv show I produced - The Genesis Awards, from the Humane Society of the U.S. They performed the song on the show. Brilliant.
Ohh, this is beautiful. 1st time i heard.. surprised these three did create a song to our valuable sea creatures 🐬🐋🐳❤️ Crosby Stills Nash - you are great! Thank you.
Absolutely moved to tears listening as beautiful as this song is , it's heartbreaking subject matter exposing mans selfish pillaging of our most majestic creatures serves as testament to the brutality inflicted on the innocent wildlife and planet .
As an animal lover, this song is just the saddest thing .... beautiful, but heartbreaking song. Like "Run for the Roses", this song never fails to bring tears to my eyes.
The Whales as Keepers of the Akashic Records of the Planet and the Original Ancestors and Earth Keepers. Like the bees, when they go we go. In 1974 Graham Nash wrote this song. In his own words, these are his reasons why. "Let me set the scene for you. It was my first sail. On that journey, I saw a blue whale. It was insanely lucky to even come across a creature that was half again as long as David's boat, and David's boat is 70 feet. That's why I wrote 'Wind On The Water,' because we were killing these things, apparently for food, which sounds preposterous.
Come puo'l'essere umano uccidere tutto cio'che la natura ci dona?😭Dovrebbe ammirare,estasiarsi e rispettare anche il piu'piccolo degli esseri e commuoversi da tanta meraviglia,invece...😭💔
So beautiful, poignant and Sad! It's a Metaphor for what we're Now doing to the Earth's environment right Now! It's A shame WE have to Die? ! Hopefully, NOT!
You can clearly see and hear Stills playing guitar, though the original recording was in the Crosby and Nash album, "Wind On the Water." Stills isn't credited for playing on the album version, which includes a collection of Laurel Canyon royalty, with James Taylor playing guitar and providing background vocals on that track.
Hauntingly beautiful lament. They sound fantastic live.... what if whales and dolphins are the more intelligent species---with an intellect, spirit, and soul? This would make the continued slaughter even more horrific ...
Long thought this song would make a great soundscape behind a film remake of Melville's "The Whale," aka "Moby Dick," done by the likes of a Cameron or Spielberg. First time I read it I was struck by passages that indicated to me the author was no fan of whaling and pulling for the whale.
I've often wondered if the strandings of marine mammals happens because they are willing to die to tell us to STOP POLLUTING! Soon it will be too late for all of us.
FYI: This is NOT a CSN song, Stephen Stills never had anything to do with it. It was recorded only by Crosby and Nash and released on an album they released as a duo.
Spot-on correct. It is from a Crosby and Nash album from 1975, "Wind on the Water". However, Stills seems to have performed it with them at least on this live recording, and possibly at other times.
@@mrboompa : Crosby says in the video it was written by Nash, though Crosby is credited on the album version which included James Taylor playing guitar and harmonizing on that song.
President Biden stop killing our whales for wind turbines! I had the absolute pleasure of witnessing this identical version in Louisville Kentucky 1975. It was magnificent. I will never forget that moment. RIP David Crosby 😪
It's a great song, one of my favorites, but it is NOT a CSN song, and it is not on the CSN album "Daylight Again". It is a Crosby and Nash song from from their 1975 album "Wind on the Water". Crikey, can't you get anything right?
Makes my cry. Living on Maui I have seen the changes in the past fifty years. 🙏
Para mi humilde opinion la armonia de tres voces insuperable
A requiem for our Oceans, and Her most magnificent inhabitants. If this song doesn't both thrill you and break your heart, you need to go spend a month at sea... The harmonies here are just amazing...
Every time I hear this song, it brings me to tear. SO many of their songs should make us think...
I agree Tom, but this song, with the very emotional Music,and Lyrics, seems to me incomparable. I had a good deep, lengthy cry over the thoughts and feelings this tune resurrected from deep inside. It's all so heartbreaking, when I think and feel it.
Agreed Rebecca Russell McFee, Tom Galloway, and Dennis McDonald!
one of the most haunting songs of all time , I have played it on my keyboards hundreds of time and it chokes me up every single time....a true masterpiece in every sense of the word!
I first heard this beautiful song when i was 13 on the Dinah Shore show. It still has the effect on me. I still have the cassette.

R.I.P. David Crosby. Thanks for all the wonderful music which made my life better for having heard it. You will be sorely missed.
One of the most beautiful songs ever, seeing it live made me cry
I have cried a few times listening to this tune over the years, not just due to sadness of what we do to our oceans and natural environment, but as an allegory to what we do to ourselves and each other daily.
Amen and amen.
I absolutely love CSN. Until the day I die and for all Eternity.
I say only wonderful!!! The voices are great!!!
So beautiful and heartbreaking what we are doing to our oceans 😢
Gänsehaut...ergreifend und berührend......Danke,Danke,Danke...und Peace 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙋♂️
Genau. Live dabei.
Such a beautiful song whose message brings you to tears. When will we learn ?
Best concert at Purdue University, IN 1976
I've not heard this version, but its' stunning in its simplicity. The way these guys voices blend is unmatched. For the animals on planet Earth...Its a shame you have to die...Maybe we'll go...Maybe we'll disappear.
It came from a televised concert..I remember seeing it in the 80's on tv..
My favorite from David with Graham and Steven. And I have a lot of favorites from David.
Thank you for the music David. Bless your soul.
Stephen didn't play on the album version. That was ably done by James Taylor who also provided backing vocals. Hard to tell the difference, at least to my untrained ears.
amazingly beautiful song!!
Graham lives or has a place here in Hawaii and understands how immensely powerful these animals are to us.
Saw David and Graham in 2008 and they opened with this. Hypnotized!!! Brilliant!.
So beautiful

This takes my breath away a little every time I hear it.
Wow, chills. Delicate harmonies, just beautiful.
They were so creative, it's just beautiful!
God bless, and Rest In Peace ❤ David Crosby
I saw them sing this on tour in Atlanta. I cried it was so beautiful.
This gives me chills every time I hear it. I was lucky enough to see and hear them at the Royal Lahaina Tennis Stadium on Maui in 1991. Magical
beautiful...!

Thanks CSN et al for always fallin on the right side of history!

Yes you brought big time Awareness to this atrocity.
thank you CSN
Gonna put this on permanent loop.
Il mare è loro e nessuno ha diiritto di uccidere queste meravigliose creature. Grazie C.S.N.❤
My love.

It's A shame WE have to Die? !

This is a Crosby and Nash song. That being said, Graham Nash's piano playing is superb.
Yes and the harmony.

I hope this is never deleted....
We need to continue and step up the pace of protest on this. Too many issues, not enough time
Yes we do.
Long thought this song would make a great soundscape behind a film remake of Melville's "The Whale," aka "Moby Dick," done by the likes of a Cameron or Spielberg. First time I read it I was struck by passages that indicated to me the author was no fan of whaling and pulling for the whale.
Man will f it up .
Crosby Nash, who could ask for anything more, oh yea Stephen, cool bananas
Great song and a beautiful performance. They sounded great...then. Not now. Too many drugs back in the day ruined their voices.
Voices can be ruined by many causes.. also by age.
Yes, true. So if it is age, why charge people hundreds of dollars to hear you at this point in your lives? I think it is wrong to do it.
No, they just got old... wtf
@@JonHop1 So how do they have the balls to charge ticket prices like they were not old and washed up?
@@BaahBen they dont set the ticket prices..
I've often wondered if the strandings of marine mammals happens because they are willing to die to tell us to STOP POLLUTING! Soon it will be too late for all of us.

Hope someone could post the lyrics , please?
Thanks in advance.

Hey, chill bro.
What's you problem...!
Are you the designated officianado of all things CSN&Y?
This is a CSN PERFORMANCE - duh. Or did you miss Stills up there?
Sorry, but I like whales more than I like most of you :-(
Well put sir .
So beautiful..
