I don’t know if anyone will care what I have to say but…when I was 7 this song was being played on the radio and I loved it so much. My big sister, who was in high school was a fan of it, as well as my mother who was in her late 40s. And I remember thinking how cool it was that 3 different generations all loved this song. It has always put tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat. Fast forward…I am 58 now, and was reading an article about David Crosby passing. In the article I see a tweet from Hanson that mentioned this song and I immediately do a search because when my kids were little they liked Hanson, and so did I. I have never heard anyone do this song aside from C S & N. Beautiful job, guys. ❤
I'm 63, and I didn't hear the song until I was around 10, and that was because my parents never had anything current they listened to on mom's radio in the kitchen. After I had found stations that played current music, I knew I wanted a Transistor Radio, and for my birthday, I got it. It was then that I began to find awesome music that for me was the best stuff on the radio. That was before things such as "oldies" were played. I began to feel very old a couple of days ago while listening to favorite songs on the radio in the car. The 70's were considered "oldies" for awhile, but a couple of days ago as they played music from the 80's was "classic rock". You get beyond the 90's and a lot of "current" music truly sucks ass. We have 2 sons, both are in their early 30's, and they will still go to stations that play music from the 70's and 80's. They had grown up listening to it when we took road trips, either to grandpa and grandma's or shopping in one of several malls, all within 20-70 miles from home. To this day, they still love a good share of that music that we all sang along to in the years before they were born. The easiest I find current music that I like is from auditions on American Idol or AGT, sometimes XF or Britain's got talent. Once I hear part of a song that I like, I find the original on You Tube, and if it's there, I'm off to iTunes to download the song(s) that I liked that are newer music. Most of it sucks, but then there comes a real gem that I love. I have an ipod that out of 32GB, it has only 4 GB of free space still. I have over 2,200 songs on it. Sure beats taking a bag full of CD's to work every day. I don't work anymore, and my stress level has come down so far.
This reminds me of something Barry Gibb said: even though his brothers have been gone a long time, he can still smell their breath because of how often they sang around one microphone.
I can't wait to see what their kids do. Imagine that 1 kid from each of them formed a group they would be cousins not brothers but still how cute Hanson 2.0
There is nothing more beautiful than the sound of brotherly (or sisterly) voices harmonizing. Because of the relationship to one another, the tones you create are just breathtaking
My parents taught me about appreciating good music-growing up listening to the classics and then Hanson when I began to make my own musical choices shows me that they taught me that lesson well.
Because they didn't join "The Club" and sell their souls. They were clearly raised well and just love music. I just discovered this video today and am so happy they are still making music.
I turn 67 on January 3rd. It seems like we're losing a hero every week from the 60s and 70s. So sad. You guys did a hell of a job on this song. R.I.P. CROSBY:-(
Yes indeed it’s always difficult to hear about the “loss” of another great artist and they’ve joined forces with great many others in the Band of Angels… especially when you are nearly the same age as them, puts much into perspective and I feel that appreciation for their talent is then widely recognized and respected by many people who were just getting tuned into their music and the beat goes on… but how fabulous is it when you see how many artists come out in honor, supporting and sharing their work with all of us in loving memory 💕😎👏🪬☮️🕉️☯️🎶🎵♾️
This was from Hanson's 'Underneath Acoustic Live' concert in 2003, held at Chicago's House of Blues. I first heard this song because of them. And I have loved it ever since! I even owned the 'Underneath Acoustic Live' DVD... May you rest well in God's loving arms, David Crosby... 🙏💞
My heart is bursting right now. Not only because of the mega-outstanding cover these young men just nailed, but their choice of this classic song from my generation to share with this generation.
They are so young here! I think Zac is only 17 in this. What a beautiful acoustic rendition of an iconic song by and iconic band. Rest in Peace to legend David Crosby.
I freaking love Hanson . They came to Memphis tn. Only one time and I didn’t get to stay cuz I was on a date and the date brought her bratty sister and we had to leave . I’ve waited years and years and nothing they never come around me
I hate that these guys were lumped in with the "boy bands". These guys are the real deal, very talented, if you've ever heard them sing Too Much Heaven you know what I'm talking about!!
Thank goodness the audience stopped the annoying clapping fairly quickly. Those harmonies are sooo beautiful that we want to hear them! (When I’ve waited months and paid for a ticket to see my favourite artist, I want to hear them, not the person next to me clapping loudly like a seal - and especially when they’re clapping on the ‘on’ beat, instead of the ‘off’ beat. Rant over. This is my favourite version of Teach Your Children ❤️.
Gotta hand it to you guys. I always liked poking fun at Hanson, from boppers to that IPA.... but this is a wonderful rendition of this song. well done and RIP David.
I would have really been pissed off had the screamers continued as loud as they did before the song started. How do you enjoy it when your screams are louder than their voices? Grow up people! It's hard to believe such a great song as MmmBop brought these "boys" so far with their own music as well as something like this by CSN&Y!! Such great harmony.
thank you for post this song, that i love soo soooo much ... i'm french, and fan, since ... wahouuu the first time i think. Thank you for all you give me with your mind, your songs, your presence. I love you for all my life.
