" ...With his immigration face....".....Exactly Fmr. "Traffic" member Dave Mason - guitar Graham Nash ( who wrote track) is originally from UK ...Then I'd suppose he got US citizenship Song related to a true story / issue according to Graham Nash

In memory of his 1st ( or only, I don't know...) wife apparently....I might be wrong though

Magnificent Because the lyrics of Orleans are all names of places in France, there is no translation The lyrics are: Orleans Beaugency Notre Dame de Clery Vendome Vendome Orleans Beaugency Notre Dame de Clery Vendome Vendome "Notre Dame de Clery" translates to "Our Lady of Clery". But the other lyrics are all proper names, so they remain the same in English ...And.... Let's not forget all the songs he composed as a member of CSNY......All special.....For which I'm so very grateful

David, just like myself, used to believe in going to other dimensions after this physical one.... And in reincarnation......

Correct title: "Song with No Words (Tree with No Leaves)" BEAUTIFUL!!!! 

Lovin' this one a lot ( and all songs on album btw)....Thanks David...Your music has meant a lot to me personally...You won't be forgotten

As per a youtube poster: "One of the most autobiographical songs to stem from the diaspora of CSN&Y, David Crosby's "Cowboy Movie" is the actual story of the (temporary) 1970 breakup of that very group. The individual members are all given aliases: Stephen Stills is Eli ("our fastest gunner/kinda mean & young, from the South"). Graham Nash is The Duke ("our dynamiter"), Neil Young is Young Billy, who has an almost psychic ability to predict trouble, and Crosby himself is Fat Albert, who becomes an interested and interesting bystander. The other main character is Raven, who represents Rita Coolidge, who in real life had affairs with Stills first, then Nash. This in itself caused the ill-feelings between Nash and Stills at the time, and caused the temporary fraction in the band. Raven is also referred to as "The Law" -- but not in the legal sense, as Crosby explained in Dave Zimmer's Crosby, Stills & Nash, but the "law of averages of nature." All of this combines, as Zimmer relates, to create a "colorful look at human nature," and succeeds admirably. Musically, this lengthy cut is similar in structure to CSN&Y songs such as "Down by the River" and "Deja Vú." The fabulous electric guitar exchange between Young and Jerry Garcia is riveting, as is the rhythm section, which is provided by members of the Grateful Dead. All in all, one of the standouts on Crosby's If I Could Only Remember My Name, and it is historical as much it still remains as a stone groove."--Matthew Greenwald

Another gem....Great lyrics as well.....Could be applied worldwide....Unfortunately........ Crosby - electric guitar, vocal; Young - electric guitar, vocal; Garcia - electric guitar, vocal; Lesh - bass, vocal; Shrieve (fmr Santana drummer)- drums; Nash, Mitchell, David Freiberg, Paul Kantner-RIP, Grace Slick - vocals

One of the most beautiful and meaningful songs I ever heard in 54 years of music-listening....Stunning lyrics (to me)... I love this one....Deeply You can hear the unmistakable Joni Mitchell's voice in the chorus.....
