CSNY - "Teach Your Children" 
Déjà Vu (1970) The album itself went to #1 that year and went on to be certified platinum seven times over. This was one of three hit singles from it. Beautiful song. There's a lot of truth in these lyrics... Teach Your Children You who are on the road Must have a code that you can live by And so become yourself Because the past is just a good-bye Teach your children well Their father's hell did slowly go by And feed them on your dreams The one they pick's the one you'll know by Don't you ever ask them why If they told you, you would cry So just look at them and sigh And know they love you And you of tender years (Can you hear and do you care and) Can't know the fears (Can you see we) That your elders grew by (Must be free to) And so please help (Teach the children) Them with your youth (To believe and) They seek the truth (Make a world that) Before they can die (We can live in) Teach your parents well Their children's hell will slowly go by And feed them on your dreams The one they pick's the one you'll know by Don't you ever ask them why If they told you, you would cry So just look at them and sigh And know they love you ...

Love this song...I don't think it was played much in the Chris Brown household, though... "Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth" |

I was hoping this thread could steer clear of that topic since every other one on here seems to be devoted to it.  | |

I know...My bad. Seriously though, this is a classic CSNY song. My favorite though, is "Just a song before I go". Love that song. "Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth" |

I love that one, too. Wasn't sure which album it was from, so I just looked...
CSN (1977) I'm working my way through their catalog and picked up their first two albums today... 
Crosby Stills & Nash as well as Déjà Vu Dr. Audience posted a good interview with Graham Nash a while back. Worth a read. | |

CSNY is great but where is Young in that clip?
On a related note, does anybody know the song "Right Between the Eyes"? Is it CSNY and where can I find it other than the extensive Nash collection which just came out? Thanks in advance. | |

My Dad use to play this song quite alot. Its Ok I guess. I found their stuff abit lite, even for me, but no doubting the slickness.. Slick with no kick LOL. A common problem I find with alot of early-mid 70's American pop music. | |
