Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth (Official Audio) 

It is 1966, I am 14 working cleaning construction sites and this is pounding out of my new transistor radio. Still feels the same.

I'm 70 years old and remember when this song first came out. It is still applicable now as it was then. Sad.

“Nobody's right, if everybody's wrong”, those lyrics man...

Crazy how history tends to repeat itself… song is timeless and stands as true as it did close to 60 years ago

This song, "Fortunate Son", and "All Along the Watchtower" are on the soundtrack to pretty much any movie with a Vietnam war scene.

I'm here because of andy's guitar lessons, and this is so beautiful can't wait to play it with my guitar ! Edit: don't give up guys! It's gonna be hard at the beginning ur hands will hurt but it's gonna be okay! 💜

This is the definition of a classic.

This song always remind me of Kent State. Now its so relevant in light of what is happening on college campus throughout our nation.

This song is just as relevant now, as it was then. Everything going on in our country right now, this gives me the chills.

A song that still holds revelance in America's situation today.

this song becomes more and more relevant every single day. nobody's right if everybody's wrong. peace and love to all.

After what just happened, this song still applies and will always apply to everyone

1967, Los Angeles, running around town in a '63 Chevy Biscayne and just kept hearing it, couldn't get enough. Times were very, very similar and I'm having deja vu all over again.😆

"Battle lines being drawn. Nobody's right if everybody's wrong." Words that can describe our situation right now. We need to come together and work things out civilly or we will all perish together.

anyone else think that it’s depressing that this song is still just as relevant as it was in the 60s

58 years later this song is still true.

There are over 550 million firearms in worldwide circulation. That's one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. The only question is, how do we arm the other 11?

“Paranoia strikes deep. Into your life it will creep. It starts when you’re always afraid. Step out of line, the man comes and takes you away…”

I was so young then. Now I'm 63 still love that song. Our country was in a battle then but nothing compares to what we face now.

A song which is timeless. It's message stands clear. Written by Dave Crosby who died today on January 19, 2023. R.I.P. Mr. Crosby

For those who haven't experienced it before: 1) Put in your headphones 2) Go to 1:50 3) Listen and enjoy to around 2:15 4) Take out your right headphone and repeat steps 2 & 3 5) Put the right headphone back in, take out your left headphone and repeat steps 2 & 3 6) Repeat steps 1, 2 & 3 Voilá, consciousness expanded!

One of the greatest 60s songs, without a doubt. An absolute classic.

This song gets more and more relevant as the time passes by.

This is by far the best protest song ever written in the history of rock and roll, originally written for the Sunset Strip curfew riots that were happening in Los Angeles in 1966, then used as a protest song against the Vietnam War!

Lyrics [Verse 1] There's something happening here But what it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there A-telling me, I got to beware [Chorus] I think it's time we stop Children, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down [Verse 2] There's battle lines being drawn And nobody's right if everybody's wrong Young people speaking their minds Are gettin’ so much resistance from behind [Chorus] It's time we stop Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down [Verse 3] What a field day for the heat (Ooo-ooo-ooo) A thousand people in the street (Ooo-ooo-ooo) Singing songs and a-carryin’ signs (Ooo-ooo-ooo) Mostly say, "Hooray for our side" (Ooo-ooo-ooo) [Chorus] It's time we stopped Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down [Verse 4] Paranoia strikes deep Into your life it will creep It starts when you're always afraid Step out of line, the man come and take you away [Chorus] We better stop Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going We better stop Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going We better stop Now, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going We better stop Children, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down

Lord of War introduced me to this song, such a great opening, also and excellent movie.

Late 60's..so much going then..but..this song broke all generations..even after..50 yrs still going on...Here the words..!!! 😔🙏

Listen everybody, it's still happening "Right Now" !!!

Wow! This music evokes it's era but at the same time remains timeless.

You just hear the first chord and you know EXACGTLY what song is coming all these images from the news come flooding in. My inner hippie just feels so validated when I hear this.

Incredible how current time is similar to the 1960s, useless war, economical crisis and worldwide paranoia

Dose of nostalgia

'For What It's Worth' (Stills) ... Great song

Iconic. Just iconic. This classic will never get old. This is just so applicable to 2020.

A song that defined a Generation. Well if you grew up in the 60's you know what this song meant in 69 at the end of the decade. Much about, youth in the streets and youth in Nam dying, we all had to protest but support those guys in the shit, hard times that only Stills and Young could put into music. For What It's Worth. Gotta go Mr. Soul is up next.

I'm only a fetus in the womb and even I like this song. Just goes to show that good music is timeless.

I used to listen to this in Afghan. I made sure to play lots of anti war music. I even called my rifle "Canned Heat".

"There's bad lines being drawn Nobody's right if everybody's wrong" The relevance of that today is frightening.

This song suddenly played in my mind with the dream like music.

Andy's guitar fans where you at??? 🤚🤚

Nobody's right, if everybody's wrong

You can always tell lyrics written by Stills. He always knows how to tug at the emotions while realize saying something profound at the same time.

No other song so eloquently reveals the real politick 'strategy of tension' and the need for us as individuals to wise up to it. A warning across the ages and a thing of beauty!

“Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong” such a simple line yet a profound one.

Anyone here because they actually like this song? *Edit* Thanks for all the likes, everyone.

There is only one problem with this song, It's too short.

Just looking at something can make all the difference in the world

Listening to this makes me think back to the past while seeing it being repeated today.

"The only question is how do we arm the other 11" "One day it started raining..." Yeah, these quotes will forever be embroilled in my head.

Is anyone listening in 2024?

July 2024, it IS pretty clear, but nails it!

I been feeling pretty low these past few days, unsure of what side of things I should be on with where we're at right now in America. Then I remembered this song. It's been damn near 60 years and we're seeing the exact same thing all over again, we've made zero progress as a human race. I just hope we don't have another Kent state scenario. We never learn.

Who's here listening to this from Andy's video and imagining themselves playing this on your guitar and singing in front of your dear ones..

Iam 68 and I continue to say we had the best era of music of ANY GENERATION!!! Yes I love country , hard rock all types of music, but David Crosby was awesome what a poet! Love you CSN&Y!!!!ZSo many memories!!!! What a time it was!

All beautiful things are simple. This song is modest, unassuming, minimalist down to the bone, yet it is profound. Jarring, even. You can say a lot, by saying little. This one doesnt go in the time capsule......IT IS the time capsule. It will play as long as mankind has a soul.

Wake up wake up World! It's time for Humanity and Peace! 💔💔💔💔

songs like this moved the world

One of the greatest songs of all time.

Ahhh, that's what it was! It's been stuck in my head all day.

This song is perfect for what's happening right now

"Paranoia strikes deep, into your life it will creep" 2020 anthem

This song is timeless and we should listen and learn. ❤

I was 16 or 17 when this song was reçórded, so many of my high school boys died in Vietnam, ít is very special to me...

I love the guitar twangs in this song...really feels like the 60s

This band is my most favourite. From my teen era until now I heavily praise them. Whenever I listen to them i feel like i’m so lucky and happy because of those beautiful tunes.

war never changes

I watched Forest Gump when I was like, 12, and wondered what this song was until about 16 while I was hitch hiking and got a lift from a grizzled, really really old fellow in hells angels patches. He told me it was kind of surreal for him, picking up a hitchhiking teen smoking weed while his radio played this song, reminded him of things back in the day

Saw them when I was 12 great concert still love the song

This one song has a different feel than the rest of the whole album, great vibe.

Relevant JULY 2024‼️💯

I’m a bit older. I grew up with the Vietnam war as a fixture in my life. As I approached draft age, Buffalo Springfield released “For What It’s Worth.” Changed my life. Made hard moral decisions on the spot. Grateful.

This song is amazing,close your eyes and listen

take a guess what news has brought me back here

I don't think I'll ever forget how I felt watching news reports about the 1968 Democratic National Convention. I had just turned 11 and I asked my parents if this is what political conventions were like. My dad's face was like stone and he just said "no" and shook his head. He asked me go with him to the Piggly Wiggly down the street to stock up on milk and bread because he assumed that riots would start in our city soon too. This song came on the radio on the way there. I don't think it was still part of the regular rotation then, so I assume it must've been specifically picked by a disc jockey. I'm 87 now and it feels more relevant than ever.

Funny how songs that express the feelings of one side in a generation can flip and express the feelings of the other a generation or two later. Just goes to show absolute power corrupts absolutely.

This is the first song I’m learning on the guitar (because theres only two chords.) This is the beginning of another journey ✌️

From andy's guitar lessons Edit : This might be the most likes I've ever had...thx y'all

This song has been around for years. It fits what’s going on today in the United States love this song

This sounds like today..I think then the signs were more positive. But this song really resonates with today in the USA!

i wasnt even born until 72 but this song is such a perfect capsule of time and nostalgia and memories. i have often listened to it and just tried to imagine my parents at that time and the world they were living in. my mother would have only been in her mid teens, but my father was already in his mid thirties and from a different generation. they of course had not even met yet and were living very different lives.

THIS. IS. TIMELESS.

It's been on every sound track for the sixties, but it never gets old.

Any one here in 2024

This song came out when I was practically a baby, and it is sad that it is still relevant today.

0:26 Thanks Vsauce, now I can't unhear it.

Thank you God ❤

Wow, what a career and what a incredible life Mr. Crosby..thank you for the magnificent, heartfelt music that will continue to bring happy memories and a smile to my face for the rest of my life..70 years I have listened to your music 🎶 and I will until my life is through..rest in glory David Crosby 🙏 ❤ 🎸❤🎙

Was watching Old Guy Carnivore this morning on RU-vid. He mentioned this song. Memories mixed with present reality. And today is Corpus Cristi Sunday. Good Day.

Heard this song for years, and it's amazing how just today the actual lyrics jumped out at me and I was like wow, talk about something that is as relevant now as it ever was.

This is literally the perfect song for now. Maybe also whats going on and gimme shelter.

Strange how history repeats itself

This is the honest to God truth this song is real it's what's going on in this world and what people are doing to other people which is wrong God bless this song and the people that wrote it Buffalo Springfield ❤

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it ... 50 years later

"And then one day...the rain just stopped."

There's something happening here But what it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there Telling me I got to beware I think it's time we stop Children, what's that sound? Everybody look, what's going down? There's battle lines being drawn Nobody's right if everybody's wrong Young people speaking their minds Getting so much resistance from behind It's time we stop Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look, what's going down? What a field day for the heat (Ooh ooh ooh) A thousand people in the street (Ooh ooh ooh) Singing songs and they carrying signs (Ooh ooh ooh) Mostly say, "Hooray for our side" (Ooh ooh ooh) It's time we stop Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look, what's going down? Paranoia strikes deep Into your life it will creep It starts when you're always afraid Step out of line, the men come and take you away We better stop Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look, what's going down? You better stop Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look, what's going down? You better stop Now, what's that sound? Everybody look, what's going down? You better stop Children, what's that sound? Everybody look, what's going down?

I'm here cause I was in Nam. 3 weeks vacation over there. And yes they do "love you long time"

Beautiful song, over 50 years old and still has an amazing message.

Erik Mateka my family was in Chattereaux, France when I was born.. then to London, USA, Incirlik, Turkey (fabulous memories here) and back to America. I feel very fortunate mkstly accept how emotionally messed up we kids all are due to instability etc. . i visited Greece a few times before fences around the Parthenon so blessings from the Gods for that for real!!! My childhood had experiences many don't consider at all and I love that. I am forever grateful, man

Buffalo Springfield a awesome group and back in 1966,year I was born 💙

Not born yet (1968), and these words still ring true today.
