This song and CSN’s music is another realm for lyrics, music, harmony and beauty. This is an example of brilliant music. One piano, three voices and a melody and harmony that is out of this world. Just insane level of music.
Oh man I'm a sucker for anytime the audience sings. This song is incredible. Graham and Joni are amazing and so are Crosby and Stills. Also love that Crosby initiates the audience singing RIP.
One of the best songs of all time... my son's a musician and he surprised me by recording this in his own style.. for Christmas.... it brought tears to my eyes..because the lyrics are so universal and we can all relate to them... to feel better... no matter what our situation is at this time.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. My dad passed October 2016, however it doesn't seem like over 4 years ago. Now when we (mom, brother and me), we think about the good and funny times we had. Everyone has their own time to grieve, but one day you too will think of the good times and laugh.
Very sorry for your loss.. my mom and dad are gone now but I think that our loved ones live on with us in our hearts and souls and we all have guardian angels...
I cry like a baby every time when my husband and i bought our house we went in it was empty he sang this to me and we danced later he commited suicede today at 62 i still live in that house and dance with my dogs to this song I never got over it
Me and my mom were really poor growing up and we lived in a lot of section 8 housing but we had 2 cats that we lived and she would always play this song. She made a lot of sacrifices and was able to give us both an amazing life and now thing song is a piece of happy nostalgia to see how much life has changed
Dad I dedicate this song for you ,raised me and my sisters on ur own it was so hard but we got there ,everything is easy cause of you I love you MA man
This song gives me chills and goosebumps right from the very first word and note. I remember when my aunt quit smoking because she had a stroke (at age 63). her and I always had this special connection but she was always very cold and "selfish". She believed that she had the stroke from smoking but also from keeping her heart closed for all these years. I remember when she walked into my new apartment after her stroke and this song was playing, she started crying. This song means a a lot.
Back in '98 I happened to work with David for a few nights, and fo the first time in nearly 30 yrs of career I thought of asking an autograph.... but I didn't. He's a living legend.
I lived this song in the late 1970's/80's in so many ways. We lived in a cabin in the mountains and never dreamed the world would look like it does today. I am still in love with the same person, although I am her caretaker now. In my mind nothing has changed...
My dream in life is to live in a secluded cabin in the mountains with the people I love...Away from all of the chaos that is in the world right now. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Met my guy on a widowers board last year. Bought a small house in the country and sitting around the fire tonite with our two kitties. life used to be so hard, no everything is beautiful because of him.
Always liked this song...then and now. Very evocative and sentimental. Makes me remember how important our relationships are and how the so-called little things matter and how we should enjoy them while we still have them. Alas those we thought would be with us forever are often snatched from us with no warning....widowed at 39. Hold someone a little tighter tonight.
I am 52 and still blessed with my Mother as well she lives at Our House,,, the one I grew up in and is 74 and healthy She Is my best friend. She has no cats tho .. People need to remember or know how blessed they are.
I lived for years in an apartment and have just moved into a HOUSE. And this song holds such a special place in my heart. I was cleaning today and singing this. Thank you for sharing it.
I was at this concert held at Hamersmith Odeon . We stayed for the encore and missed our train , Had to walk miles back to Walthamstow to our car .. Saw them again at Edinburgh castle . The are still my Favourite vocalists of all time .
Since my parents divorced, my childhood was with The Simpsons. The episode where Milhouse's parents got back together, this song came on. Its been one of my favorite songs for the longest time.
Written by Graham Nash, not sure if that was with the Hollies before he then went to America. Harold (Allan) Clarke was the excellent vocalist in the Hollies, they met aged 6 in Salford England, both are now 82.
Growing up in the 80's and listening to my Pops buddies playing guitar and singing this song is totally awesome! Miss my Pops soo much..how simple life back then indeed..
How many people heard this on the B&Q advert and first started humming then joined in for the chorus and had to come on here to remember who sang it? so many memories of Mum singing this and dad whistling it whilst doing the sunday housework...aah to be a kid again :)
Graham wrote this when he and Joni Mitchell were together. Photos of them together are so sweet.....he was absolutely in love with her, you can see it in the way he looks at her. ❤️ I want someone who looks at me that way.
It's a good song to have in your heart for your mom. I have known these artists all my life it seems and when I hear it, my mom is the first person I think of. I'm 53, she is 82 and lives in a home. She is the epitomy of love. I am so incredibally fortunate, and you are too. Your mom was and still is 'A Good Mother.
Red Rocks Sept. 2009, our souls were rocking to this most amazing group who will never go away my forever Freespirit!! We continue on our journey with the hippie spirit roaming through us each and everyday like fireflies enlightening the world for a better place to be. Peace and Love baby to you and us through the teachings of Buddha and all those that inspire World Peace wrapped in our beings forever;-)
I love this song and I love when they played it at their concerts and everyone would sing like that. It’s so disappointing that they can’t get beyond their little feuds with each other to get together and do one more tour.
Oh man, I have the haziest memory of hearing this song on some kid's show as a tiny baby person. It's such a kick to hear it again after all this time!
This is one of the songs that makes me cry, cry rivers of tears today… always happens because of my adolescences’ memories.. But, today my heart is in such a sentimental broken mode.. We just lost DAVID CROSBY… May his Soul Rest Easy In Peace, with all our LEGENDS that left before Resting in the Eternal Light… 😢😢
I guess for all of us this song evokes all kinds of memories. My mother left my father and saved us out of a abusive existence. She bought a house and worked nights at the local hospital. Now that I'm an adult I don't know how she was able to do some of things she did. She was always afraid we'd find out her feet were made of clay. Miss her every day.
never has a post touched me as deeply as this. I thoght you were going to say that you were about 35!! when I read all that you had written..wow. absolutely wrenched my heart. I wish you all the best in life and now everytime i hear this beautiful tune i`ll remember your sad story.
I listen to lot of underground hip hop, and some rap, but this is by far the best song ever made. Every time i go in the car i beg my dad to play this song, thank God for Crosby Stills Nash & Young!
waouh! this one is very special to me, listening during thousands of hours smoking hundred thousands ofjoins and telling everybody what was music, what was life.... it was in the early 90's actually, 20 years after CSN! where is my teen period?
my mom sang me Sweet and Low too . and ive sung it to my son . he's 23 now . never knew id find someone whose mother sang them the same lullaby . how cool is that ?
In between my Chinese New Year Lohei Yusheng dinner at Loyang Aloha Resort on 15 February 2103, I notice two pet cats are wandering in the backyard of the rented resort bungalow. The sight reminds me of the song Our House when things were really rough and hard in the 60's when my parents raised us four kids up. Now that they are gone, I cant help but to refresh my memory when I got home and replay that ballad, Our House, again via Utube musical video by ex-Hollie vocalist, Graham Nash.
Such a iconic and nostalgic song for so many, i was a young teenage Hippy and loving life to the max, had no idea what was ahead but through it all ive always managed to land on my feet and make a comfy sweet home that i can live and dream in ❤🤗🙏🏼🌈
Sissy-I can't believe you were taken so young-this song was one you turned me into on an underground radio station in gainesville, fl. Please be in peace and no more pain my sweet angel sister-I will join you, GG, Mom and Dad and the rest of the kids one day. But I will always remember and love you- sissy
