A youtube poster commented : "This is not just a song about cutting one's hair. When it was written, shortly after the assassination of Robert Kennedy in 1968, long hair was a political statement. It was your "freak flag." Very different times. You had to live through them to understand them fully"

Composed by David Crosby

 

Beautiful track & lyrics imo

 

 

 

 

 

RIP Dallas Taylor - drums

 

 

John Sebastian ("Welcome Back Kotter" main theme singer) of the Lovin' Spoonful provided harmonica on Crosby’s "Déjà Vu," a reference to the feeling that something you’ve experienced has happened before. Crosby told The Guardian that his belief in reincarnation inspired the title track. "I'm one of those people who thinks we go round again. The Buddhists have got it right — it's a wheel and we get on and get off. I think life energy gets recycled. That's why I wrote 'Déjà Vu.'"

About this very song..... Little story...1975.....I ( at the time a young, 18, Italian traveller around Europe ) was heading to Sweden by Inter-rail ( remember?) with other Italian buddies and we happened to make friends with a few US Folks on the train...We started to talk ( with my very bad English at the time) and at a certain point one of the Americans inserts a tape in his player...This beautiful music starts to spread around...I was literally struggling to get to understand the lyrics... So one of the US guys patiently and kindly ( almost word by word) helps me get the complete meaning of this fantastic track....Thank you, Mister....I still remember this after 45 years ...It's a good memory indeed....

From double live  album ( acoustic and electric) "Four Way Street" 1971

 

 

This one and the next were composed by David Crosby ( if I'm not mistaken)...Both beautiful ...Music & lyrics imho....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I personally adore the last lines   (esp the very last one) of "The Lee Shore"

 

 

Sunset smells of dinner
Women are calling at me to end my tales
But perhaps I'll see you the next quiet place

I furl my sails (awesome)

Another fantastic track (imo)...More stunning guitar-playing ( Stills & Young dueling together...Awesome)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A youtube poster wrote  about "Carry On": Steve on wah wah guitar on the left, Neil on the fuzzy rapid bass notes and his unmistakable attack picking on the right. Great interchange between the two
