Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth 1967 

Pretty consistent to the times.

Still stands today!!

Scary how appropriate it is.

It fits in today's world.

I am😊

Nope

Great tune!

Yes, just now. Rather apt and nostalgic.

Yes, I was 14 years old in 1967

With a tear mate in country

MANKIND, NEVER LEARNS.

I play that song on the electric guitar 🎸 I am 10.

@@lenade99 good on you, you might be famous in the years to come, GOOD LUCK.

Yep me too sad nothing has changed isn't it

Thanks

BECAUSE IT WAS, SIMPLE.

@@andymatthews7617 I don’t think it was simple at all. Way better, yes.

@@SoGorgeous-ju8jn True, I meant lyrics you could understand, thanks for reply.

Perfect

Every time I fart I think it sounds better then the s hit they put out today!

Someone should write a song for what has just happened (DEATH OF FLOYD)

all around Pandora's Box if I'm not mistaken?....

@@1BoodaCat Hah! Yes. I was only 16 at the time, and in the Sixties they had a law that anyone under 18 could not be out after 10PM. Can you imagine?? The the sheriffs locked me up in jail like a common criminal as I was walking home. In the prison bus ride to the Hollywood Sheriff station, one of the cops hit the guy sitting next to me in the face, his saliva hitting me in the face, just for fun. It was only then that I realized what we were protesting.

@@tiffsaver Yup...and as an under 18 year old myself I remember my girlfriend and I piling into my VW Bug to get out of there when it started getting crazy, and as we were driving down Holloway to get away from the strip we were stopped by a cop who decided to search my car...I asked him if he could legally do that...and he just looked at me, laughed and said; "girly we can do anything we damn well want to..." I've never forgotten him or that comment...

incredible to think about the real meaning of the song but how it fit the kate 60's and now 2020 so w... Goes to prove to songs are just floating out in the ethers ad they get grabbed and turned into a song.

yeah it sounds like lots of newer songs that try to replicate the 60's

@@chucko4415 hey well that'd be awesome if someone got it right!

I like that saying.

It's not going to get better

@@marsultra7032 Remember, This is classic rock, which is not a period of music, a group of musicians, but a style, that anyone, from any time can re-create. It's just a choice that musicians make, to not make this kind of music, but nothing's holding them back.

History doesn't repeat it rhymes and what's been exposed is the transnationalists socialists/globalist socio-fascists, woke cultists/Hegelian cultists agenda. They are a rapidly dwindling set who are on the very wrong side of history.

1960s - US fighting communism. 2020s - US exporting neo-communism across the Western World.

Ditto..60s child..born in 53.😮

Yes,heard it back in the early 70s as a kid

Agreed 100%!

GREAT MUSIC GREAT DAYS, I WANT TO GO BACK, NOW.

We're still listening to them because the message is more appropriate now than ever.

Real songs,not now

@@GavinPeacock-rc6nv I so agree. What we have now is chosen by large corporations and the result of educational systems that rewarded ignorance.

I’m in Sarasota now (2014) listening to this song 👍☮️🙂

Thank you for your service hero 🇺🇸

Thank you for your service and thank God you made it back, a lot of brothers and sisters didn’t.

God Bless you young Man. Give unto Caesar what is Caesar and unto God what is His, and you did.

My husband came back in 69 and still struggles with the demons. There are people standing next to you.

Thank you James for all you gave up for everyone. YOU are a hero - don't ever forget that.

Amen brother

Agreed. Ain’t nobody right when everybody’s wrong.

Into your life it will creep.... HELLO TERRORISTS!

Oh even more so

Agreed

Even if it doesn't reconnect humanity...

Humanity is diving down to hell.

Exactly

The Internet killed community. No more "underground" music. Everyone is in their own niche and playlist.

WERS Boston.

All it does for me is to remind all ordinary people that bad times are still here, and getting worse.

Our bodies may grow old but our souls,are evergreen.Im the same age as you,my friend and we were blessed,with music like this.Best love,from Wales.

ikr

The message is perfectly clear in this song. Makes me wonder if some of the musicians of our generation were visionaries. Marvin Gaye, What's Going On. Steve Stills For What It's Worth.. We are living these times sadly again.

Hits , I put a motion to the floor that it does indeed hit , and still

it was written about The Kent State riot

@@mariaconway4241 Neil Young's Ohio was written about Kent State about an event that happened on 5/4/1970. This is what inspired For What It's Worth: "Although "For What It's Worth" is often considered an anti-war song, Stephen Stills was inspired to write the song because of the Sunset Strip curfew riots in Los Angeles in November 1966, a series of early counterculture-era clashes that took place between police and young people on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood" Maria, that's why this song hits so hard it's was how young people were being attacked by our own Authoritarian Forces, and it was written and released shortly thereafter. Here's a good observation as to what the impact of this song was: "According to Timeline's Matt Reimann, the riots anticipated a cultural rift that only grew in the coming years. In this light, Bob Gibson, manager of the Byrds and the Mamas and the Papas reflected: "If you had to put your finger on an event that was a barometer of the tide turning, it would probably be the Sunset Strip riots." Take care & ✌!

Todays "so called" music is TOTAL RUBBISH.

​@andymatthews7617 i think you mean "so called 'music'"

@@beyondthestars2003 that's what I've written!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aaron you have oppositional defiance disorder dont you?

It's about a coffee shop closing. So year, it's been closed 50 years.

We fondly refer to that as odd in my family.

mandarinlearner only now they say yes war, war! People want death, hate,and sickness. ..They Buffalo Springfield spoke up for what it's worth....Against these#*!

The Philippines didn't apparently.

this message is about reincarnation. you live like an animal you repeat.

Nah mate just need more "thoughts and prayers"

Welcome to armageddon.

Not all history needs to be learned

Truth Indeed AMEN 🙏

Yep!

Wouldn't call it timeless. It's absolutely rotted in time. Doomed by time. The opposite of timeless.

For What it's worth, is me favourite song of ALL TIME

No, I’m pretty sure your the only one listening.

When I heard the first note I remembered the song. Yes Stephen Stills gave us a lot of music that still sounds a fresh now as it did when it was new.

Played this song in the band

That is no joke I just wish America would just wake the fuck up

We've all been there. Let's just not grow old gracefully!!!

Pareil !

gotta think everyone in the video felt the same

When you're young, you dont care about time, when you get older you realise that time doesnt care about you.

DJosephWells or you start to treasure the time you have and have had which is why I think people see life as slower because they miss the old days

What happened to great music ??

I just heard this on Pandora and texted my husband the same sentiment. I said, “It’s amazing how much has changed since then and yet nothing has changed and this song is spot on for what’s been going on the last few years.”

I think this song is relevant in Palestine- Israel conflict that is currently happening. Nobody is on the correct side of this, and everybody is wrong. Further escalations will most likely happen till at point of war.

That’s a fact

@@andymatthews7617 stop whining.

We always take two steps forward then one step back. Hopefully we are entering a phase of two steps forward.

I wish I had a answere. I'm 73 and graduated from high school in 1969. All I can tell you is... don't follow the crowd. Be willing to change a opinion. I was raised to be a Democrat and switched at 28 years old. Keep your mind open and free to the truth. Republicans didn't start the K.K.K., or Jim Crow Reasoning, Segregation, but "they" don't want you to know. Seek truth and surround yourself with intelligent people. The last remark is the best. Unfortunately too many dumb asses think they are smart, so you to be wise on your path. Best wishes friend.

sad but true

Do you see our masters.

Fuuuuuuuuck that. There are plenty of people right. Look to the streets

@@RedRocket415 the people on the streets are following lies

RedRocket415 That’s the point! All sides are fucked Street people and contrary

Good music has no end date

What a absolutely depressing thing to read, the fact that it's that old now genuinely makes me sad.

same age rock on

I wasn't even born until 2973 and I still love this sing.😊

I hear you brother

It received incredible recognition in its day. It was a hit song, and oh so relevant to the Vietnam War.

I found this song through family guy lol

Never more relevant unfortunately

It's got 64 million views 54 years after it's release. How much more recognized can it possibly get?

amen to that.

TIME FOR MR. SOUL.

Aint it tho.

We're just older and understand.

@Lucy Rane 🤦‍♀️that's not what I meant.

Great days for music, very sadly missed.

@Dan Dugan I am not a government agency, the concept of my having to give you free speech doesn't apply to me, free speech means that the government can't censor you, not that companies and people can't tell you to stop talking.

As opposed to most rap songs.

Very actually! I' m from Russia.

Thoughtful succinct comment. Well said

song about a teen-age riot over 10pm curfew on Sunset Strip.

my sincere condolences

your dad was a dank savage

R.I.P your dad sounded like a great man. Sorry he went so bloody early.

think about how much it will or would mean after putting on a uniform & a weapon and fighting a war were probably athletes and the super famous and wealthy and important people are trying to send the message it's not worth standing for our pledge or national Anthem. FYI I love the story about your dad signing on the bus on the 4th of July, cool story!!

One? More like every generation

@@jonmacdonald5345 Actually...it's Judy Green Eyes...but you're close enough, Jon:)

Although I have Steele blue eyes.

yes and probably define this one

and sadly it is a song from the 60s... cant wait for a real change to happen

You said it brother! I just shared it on my Fb page and asking everyone to listen to it and sharing how it made them feel?!

Sorry, I should’ve said sister!

@@MasterDreamful change is the one constant in life. 60s were fabulous counter-culture. Another counter-culture is going on 2020 on account of the people desiring change and better vision, especially those unheard souls. ✊✌💞⚘⚘🎶✊

Neil Young, on guitar on this, was inducted twice as well, for Buffalo Springfield and as a solo artist. Perhaps taking a cue from this Stills masterpiece, Young wrote Ohio about the Kent State massacre.

@@bigglesmcgillicuddy3388 Yes. Good info. I think Crosby was inducted twice as well

WOW,,,,,,,,,,,, I DID'NT KNOW THAT . THANKS FOR THE FYI!!!.

Love that

More now then ever.

Wake up!

Barry White ...Always has meant something. World's been screwed forever. Now, we allow elites to do crap on stage and on TV we never would ALLOW before. Look at that beast Madonna. Garbage mouth at a FAMILY EVENT. Piece of garbage.

I bet your outrage over shock jock entertainer Madonna knows no bounds, but Trump, who is President? You will stay silent. Go clutch your cross and ignore white supremacists targeting religious minorities- while world leaders say this has echoes of the 1930s. The world is protesting another unhinged fascist, and this is what outrages you. #Nazi #Greed #Hypocrisy

Rick Kartis I have to agree and she drags all those kids around like the Super Mom. I cringe to imagine them following her on RU-vid 20 years from now.

Damn time travelers

Quick maffs

tell me your secret ......a pact with satan perhaps.

@Harsh Shinde are you into this typa music or did you just end up here

maffs

This song is just as relevant today, as the day it came out.

fellow brummie mate born in 86 lucky enough to have my mothers taste in music she was born 62 . I love old music

Yup. 63-69 for singles bands; 70-79 for albums bands. Unbeatable.

Couldn’t be more relevant than it is Now...especially the paranoia.

We can only be grateful that we now live in a time when videos and recordings like these are so accessible.

THE WORLD IS RUN BY MAD MEN, FOR MAD MEN.

Agree with ya there

Sure is

Pete Roussos It’s actually more relevant today than when it was written.

That is what brought me here to this song. Born in 78, but I'm a bit of a history buff.

Everybody needs to look at what's going down... This is not going to go away slowly

Pete Roussos yup. Exactly.

Peace man 🤘

And it's prophetic, too.

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

My late husband sang this to nurses during hospitalization 5 years ago.

It did kinda lose its meaning, though. The song got associated with the Vietnam War but it's actually about the Sunset Strip riots.

I dont think this world will last much longer.

nice

@eka pamuji let me please rephrase my angry comment: blaming a marine for following orders trickling down from government policies is not right.

@eka pamuji Your mama

My Uncle Clayton was a Green Berets and served two tours in Vietnam;retired from the Army with 30 years 2 months and 16 days. He died in 2014 at the age of 82 from Cancer. RIP

If france just gave up there colonies and way of colonialisation then there would b no Vietnam war and nobody got to die for nothing its france who didnt want to give up there Vietnam collonie who want offcourse to b free from france occupation after the ww2

Awesome !!

Indeed Forrest!

Yeah. Nixon resigned.

And then one day, for no particular reason at all, I gave this comment a like

Run God Damn It!!! Run!!!

ABSOLUTELY.

holy cow! 50 years

My age 50 lol GOD I FEEL OLD

I ‘m so old , I remember when this song was new !

Conor Wade HOW?

THING3 In a sea of information it's hard to decide which drop is the truth.

Conor Wade I hope trump wins. Hes views are how people should be. When I foundf out there are protests to keep illegal people in america blows my mind. Who cares if its mean or if the immigrant is a kid, or if its not the kids fault. The kid is still illegal, and should be returned back with his family.... If they want to lvie here so badly as they seem to do, then they should earn it.. Most of our ancestors did unless you wre on the mayflower or such. Why ant they.

+Garmo Garmo no human being is illegal.

Yes they are.

Yeah, the songs about the curfew on the Sunset Strip.

It is relevant today...look at the libbies, they are nuts, paranoid, illogical, look whats going down........they keep getting worse........lol...lol...lol...lol.

@Rockin Robin yep. But when they are, it's "peaceful protesting". It's backwards, just like everything else seems to be.

@Rockin Robin It's even funnier how the President sent a mob to the capital to kill members of Congress and his own Vice President. Funny as the time the pigs ate my sister.

@Rockin Robin There were a couple bombs found in the building and people started stealing shit. I think that's enough to consider it a riot

@Rockin Robin pretty cool innit.

@@soaringvulture Its funny that you think that, but I guess it makes sense in that your kind makes no sense.

Welcome to the party..................lon in PS, Ca.

For fuck sakes hippies theese days

The lyrics are in the description at top of this page.

dont worry about the llyrics its all about the feeling in this song and clearly you understand

フンボルトペンギン ですね！大切なことはハートですね！

okrajoe I am old. 😎

I might be older...

okrajoe and sadly still relevant.

okrajoe Agreed, this song is literally the type of song that you play once you have been victorious in a major event in your life. For me, graduating as one of the top ranking students in my graduating class defined that moment where after the ceremony i cruised back home in my graduation gown and had a moment of solace!

That's still young.
