Crosby, Stills & Nash - Southern Cross Lyrics

I "met" Stills at a party in early 80's. I was drunk, slapped him on the back and loudly said, "Stephen my man"! He looked annoyed and turned away. He did the right thing LOL.

It's just too bad Graham Nash has to be such a whiny Bitch and Break them up! Asshole acts like it's "His" band and all about him. He's a side player, harmony guy and a Hack!

Awful stinks borrrrrring....put on nugent's cat scratch fever....

we won't ever here songwriting like this anymore. Such a shame. Not sure if it's just because we don't have the talent, people don't want to here good music or all the good songs have already been written. 🤷🏽‍♂️

2020 KIDS TODAY THIS IS MUSIC

Graham looks ahem a little "energetic" lol

The magic is in this song. Can hear it all night.......great

I had the privilege of living aboard a sailboat, built in 1923 for the commodore of the New Orleans yacht club. She was called Rainbow. She was my first true love. I went on to work Cruise ships and the like. But there can never be music as beautiful as the rigging slapping the masts early in the watch. Right at. BMNT. Before morning nautical twilight.

This is about nature/the earth Nd it’s beauty Or something deeper?

Trailer park boys brought me here. Great music 🎼 🎶

Happy Birthday Stephen Stills. Thank you for all the music you have given to the world.

This is by far my all time favorite CSN song. Just beauiful.

Magic....Steven sounds like Kenny Rogers on this...blasphemy I know but Kenny is a legend.

Crosby looks comatose.

A San Francisco Acid Rocker, an East Texas Bluesman and a English Folk Rocker, who would've thought it! Oh, then add a Canadian singer/songwriter and they only get better.

For a great American band. Crosby was from L.A.

Steven Stills is one of the most beautiful sounds of life.

Year and venue?

His best song! ♥️♥️♥️ Stills

Minus young is a plus for yall!!!

And we never failed to fail.
It was the easiest thing to do.


yep.

True story....

Too bad they haven’t aged well. Would love to see them tour again. I did enjoy the Judy Collins duets rerelease

My favorite CSN song. Stephen Stills is the man,

I don't know what kind of music you like rock, country, whatever. If you don't like dis, something wrong with you

Heard this a kid in the 70's....it was an okay song......now I am older and wiser .....one of my favorites ever.

Just think I am only 29 and this song has made my life better and how long ago did this song come out buy these awesome guys. alot of midnight rides and bowls smoked listening to CSN. Awesome images come to mind when you listen to there music.

Why does the one in the middle with the 'chipmunk voice' have to keep posing like a rock star? Get off the stage 'chipmunk voice', Stephen rules this group.

Taylor Swift won the American Music ten-year award today.
I came here to try and wipe that image from my memory banks.

the day my great uncle died i found this record chaseing cats with my aunt

what kind of idiot gives this great tune and performance a thumbs down? this is the best

Amazing, amazing harmonies. One of my all time fav. CSNY and America my all time favorite bands. They don't make music like this anymore. "And Music Is Her Name"

Whenever Gram Nash gets to play guitar, he seems to hop around a lot on stage.

Crosby Still & Nash Alto trío de Grandes Maestros del Folk y voces muy Armoniosas! !!!!!

I have heard this song so many times and NEVER get tired of it, or what it is a reminder of. Being a sailor and a musician, I admire the simple quality and message. Having gone through the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, & CSNY era, I understand the meaning. For those who lament the music of today, listen to Ed Sheeran's music and know that there are musicians who can craft a meaningful message into a song like "Perfect."

Remember the days when we had to try to figure out song lyrics the hard way?

Appreciate Crosby being cool...

I just wanna know what drug Graham was on LOL!!

Love and Love ❤️

When I want to hear REAL MUSIC this is the first song I play

The more luminosity you have, the higher you go! Undesrtanding, is the keyword! The light that shines brighter,...,Beware!!!!

I've always found this song relaxing yet somehow energizing at the same time. Always gets a 2nd play...

Why can't we have wonderful music like this anymore? Hmmm? CSN..... not many better.

This song never gets old....

I love this live version. What a song.

I never get tired of this song.. CSN!

boo to the 1.1k,this is fantastic

A perfect storm that churned out a beautiful song. One of my favorites. Shout out to the drummer, don’t know who he is, but he knows what he’s doing.

The most unfitting song for a brutal fight scene but damn if it wasn't fantastic anyway.

Timeless.

Graham Nash, wow, those background vocals are amazing. Makes this song.

Yeaaaah

Legends!

i remeber this like it was yesterday..........i was 14 when i laid eyes on my wife........well she is my wife today lol..
this song was on the radio when my dad made me get out of that old pick up truck and talk to her..
i was scared as hell dude. that was the summer of 1982
welp im glad i did.......thanxs dad......there's not a day that goes by dad
that i dont think about you
miss u dad.
today im 51 and kelly is 49 our son spec is 9
and he looks just like my dad when he was a kid.

Found this record in the basement as a kid. The older I get the more music like this soothes my soul and makes things a little better. Keep rocking the Real rock!

If ya'all get a chance, please check out 1st508th Airborne site, thanks.

Great live version. You know what I love best? How the performers still seem to be enjoying themselves.

This song made my eyes leak. Brother on FB tagged me for this, I needed strength and Brother said Hello, I know you, let me help you with something you know and care about..MUSIC. let me help you he said. #AtheistsHaveHumansToHelp

This group inspired the writing of Bell Bottoms to Gucci by Ellen Everman...if you'd like to take a trip back to those days, read the book. https://www.acclaimpress.com/books/bell-bottoms-to-gucci/

"She is all that I have left, and Music is her name."

Literally that was true. He got divorced and that was all he had left.

It's a great line... 👍

Amazing, landmark performance. Graham and Steven especially are great stage masters!

*_The price of🇺🇸Freedom is👼GRAVES._*

Their greatest song!

Southern Cross is the best song ever written and performed thank you Mr Stills

Imagine all the pussy they got back in the day!

Well, young was part too. Yep!

What a brilliant rendition!!!! Seeing the southern cross on a clear night is just fantastic!!!!

I want you Stephen. I really do.

What was the year of this performance? Great sound! Thx.

I totally get this song.. I have grown up seeing the southern cross.. Every cloudless night... And still it talks to me

Love this

Too many advertisements ........

I have always loved this song ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I just keep thinking left to right: Mary Jane; cola; luude . 🤷‍♀️. Love these minstrels

Stephen Stills is the most under rated musician ever.

David Crosby is so fucked up,even his color looks bad

25 on 20 for this song, I love, love, love..........

It will come around again I hope I'm here to hear

I just wanna go back pull up a chair and sit down and listen

Beautiful song for ever ......LOVE the 80'S GOOD TIMES

My dad used to sing this to me almost every night. ❤️

How could 3 men who are such total jacka##es write such a wonderful song??!! :-)

We Men are all mariners, aren't we ...........

Two nights ago I was laying on the top of a boat off of Komodo Island in Indonesia, watching the beginning of the Perseid Meteor Shower, and staring at The Southern Cross. This song has been running through my mind since then.

My two sons (20 and 17 yes old) and I play and sing this song together quite often. It took several hours to get to where we sounded acceptable, but now when we sing it the people love it.

still have this song on 45 rpm stashed away -- can't believe how good the 3 of them sound here -- Thank U YouTube!!

Stupid crosby is stoned

If you've ever suffered through a heartbreaking terrible break up this song will make so much sense. Thanks Stephen.

Stephen Stills wrote this immediately after his divorce. He got on his boat and was sailing, trying to make sense of this new divorce. And if that wasn't enough, there was turmoil within the band AND he was trying to kick his alcohol and drug problems. That's ALOT for one man to go through all at the same time. If nothing good came from all that misfortune, atleast he got one of the greatest songs ever written out of the ordeal. God bless you Stephen Stills.

Just love Stephen Stills voice...great guitar player too!

Absolutely fantastic.....nobody.... and I mean nobody can come close to this great song in this era. I was born in 1961 and thank God for the great music.

Crosby is FUCKN SMASHED 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Saw these geniuses in Manchester back in the early 2000's & it just so happened to be Graham's birthday :-) MAGIC pure Magic was happy to wait the 35 & odd years before I Finally got to see the lads

Despite all the drugs and bullshit they endured, still one of the greatest bands ever. Stephen stills is one of rocks greatest voices.

Its July 2019 and I'm still in love!! With this song!! Folks, this I'd truly beautiful music. The kind that transports us to a beautiful ,happy place ,away from the complexities and stress of everyday existence. Just let your mind carry you away, get lost in this music!

I'm 38, and still rockin this awesome epic song in 2019!...

Also 38 and listen to this or try to anyway atleast once a day

I'm 50. Still dig it

Great sone from a simpler time

Is this the best song by them? Seems to be...

Years ago, I went to see CSN and there was a small problem with rain. After a 1 hour delay, it turned into Crosby, Stills, Nash AND YOUNG! The show went on for 4 hours, and after all these years, it still rates as the best show I ever saw.

Excellent song
