Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Teach Your Children Lyrics

Still listening at almost 80 y.o. The magic lives on!

What a great song ! Yes, those lyrics are important forever.

I was honored that my daughter chose this for our father daughter dance at her wedding

I just lost one of the most important people in my life, my son. He refused to love back and I had to put a restraining order against him; I tried for years yet, I had to do it.

Where did young come from

Magnifica

The best sont ever i love it

That song is from the movie Katherine.

1975 version

We don't have any more DJs! You have to have disc jockeys! Like BillGraham San Francisco! Wolfman Jack! Computers don't know music! You got that XM Sirius music! You suck! You need a captain of the airwaves! People who love music! Not f****** computers!

I remember I was living in San Jose 1969! I was surfing Santa Cruz! This album and the previous album csny first album came out! Beautiful time for me and music! Surfing Carlos Santana! The Bay area! Monterey Pop festival Jimi Hendrix! Good thing I didn't walk to Altamont speedway!!!!

Quem veio pelo Antídoto dá um like hehehe!!

I understand it a little more everytime I listen to is

My grandma loved this song, when i was staying at my grandparents house, l was kinda goin through some shit. they were always there for me, she would come in my room and sit on the bed, she'd tell me how much she loved this song, she'd say how beautiful it was, i would get out of bed and get her to dance with me, hug her, love her... She was my angel, never gave up on me , God l miss her...

I've got a good idea of what you had to go through and I hope you got through it okay.

I think these days the parents didn't do this............So Teach your Children well.

Was born in 83 grow up listening to the records and fell in love with it❤️❤️💕

Can we all agree that of the 4 that Nash is by far the least talented?

Anyone here for just CSNY and not the media they heard them from instead. Great music never dies.

One of my friend is gone and miss him , wonderful era.
I love Csny. Please come to Japan!

Classic songs just get better!

OLD JERRY GARCIA HIMSELF ON THE STEEL. LEGEND

Ze zijn nu al volwassen maar laat ze regelmatig horen

A lovely song

What Genre would you classify this as?

When my father introduced me to this song... He taught his child well.

I have six, count 'em, 6 great grandchildren. You know each generation was positively affected because I understood what this and other 'message music' brought forward to our here and now. It was a kind of magic age and this song keeps bringing it all home.

brain dead folks think this music is positive ,its communist inspired,wake the heck up.

I miss my dad so much... fortunately we got closure; i told him about the things that he said that had hurt me on my childhood, he apologised, we patched up. sometime later i had to say sorry about something that i had done when i was a child, he accepted my apologies and said things that showed me that i had taught him something. i think he really knew i love him
he taught me so much too, of course. it's for his music taste that i ended up here, tonight, trying to get something from this song, as i'm crying my heart out. i know you loved me

Zolkiewska k

My lovely Barb taught our children well and now that she has been taken from us they stand as a monument to her love and care. We all miss her terribly. (Everybody should donate to cancer research and help towards that day when it will be beaten)

i love this song

I thought the Mike Curb congregation did this

I love the arrangement of the song: A couple of acoustic guitars with a sinple tambourine beat with Jerry's pedal steel at just the right points. The story went that Jerry played in return for David and Graham teaching the Dead about harmony singing. David denied it, saying the Dead always had good harmonies

I knew Jerry played the steel on this but , I didnt know the year . 1970

Do as I say not as I do. Raging, hateful intolerant, angry leftists Crosby and young don’t believe a word of this

amo esta cancion !

Please please I had a rendition of de ja vous but on this great track Grahame had a little giggle in his solo part and the end finished with an AHAA....does anyone know where I know that from?

Still a beautiful song, in 2019. The harmonies are so tight! The steel guitar is so wonderfully played.

Steel guitar by Jerry Garcia of "The Grateful Dead."

@Brian Esposito Wow! Didn't know that.

From Spain, many thanks CSNY, your music cleans my soul.

Love it

Why would 990 people dislike this song?

@The Daily Snail some people don't appreciate good music

@journeystarr yeah

Who wroted this one?

According to Graham Nash, Jerry was given a demo and sat down to record this song. After the first take,Graham said that is a keeper...one take wonder

You, who are on the road
Must have a code that you can live by
And so, become yourself
Because the past is just a goodbye

Teach your children well
Their father's hell did slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you'll know by

Don't you ever ask them why
If they told you, you would cry
So just look at them and sigh
And know they love you

And you (Can you hear?) of tender years (And do you care?)
Can't know the fears (And can you see?) that your elders grew by (We must be free)
And so, please help (To teach your children) them with your youth (What you believe in)
They seek the truth (Make a world) before they can die (That we can live in)

Teach your parents well
Their children's hell will slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you'll know by

Don't you ever ask them why
If they told you, you will cry
So just look at them and sigh
And know they love you

Absolutely TIMELESS ! ! Beautifully sung, with Excellent Steel Guitar throughout !

Here's Graham Nash's description of how the song was recorded:
The Dead and the Airplane were also at Heider's, but in adjacent studios, working on new stuff. I didn't know Jerry Garcia too well, although I knew he was a fine musician, so Crosby suggested I approach him about playing on "Teach Your Children". I had played the song first for Stephen after completing it at the Caravan Lodge Motel. He listened distractedly, then said, "Okay, I've got it, but in all due respect I think this is the way it should go." And he gave it a country arrangement that ultimately turned it into a hit. In any case, I'd heard Jerry had just started playing pedal-steel guitar and asked if he would add a pedal track to my song. After the first take, I said, "Thanks, Jerry, you're done."
"No, no," he protested, "I f---ed up that part when we go right into the chorus. Can I do another?"
"Absolutely, do it", I told him, "but I'm never going to use it. The first one was exactly what I wanted."

My son sent me this with one word...thanks.....best gift of my life.

A beautiful gift of life. Appreciations! xox

LA MIA PRIMA CANZONE CON LA CHITARRA..emozione pura

J adore les voix!!!!

Rip Leslie lee kasselman

This song makes me think of my dad

office .. :) thank you for discovering this ..

Jerry Garcia of the "Grateful Dead" plays the steel guitar for this song - it makes this song!

970 people have no code.

Excellent and wonderful music. Too bad, nowadays, we no longer listen to this kind of music, because everything has become commercial, without feelings, words that make no sense, and everyone thinks they are professional in music .. . !!!!

Often, we see people who give negative opinions on stars they do not know yet like Eagles, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Paul Simon, Jackson Browne, Bob Dylan, etc.

Especially in today's "so-called country music.. Country ain't Country anymore.

Love this song

Teach your children one of the best music i do like to sing and play guitar....😊🎶🎵🎼🎻

The 1 Concert I never made it to!

Are you ready for the country. Is that Jerry Garcia on steel guitar? Yes, I think it is. Goddamned pot smoking hippies.....😡

Michael Scott brought me here

kids need grd 6 scare tactics about sex, germs, cancer causing viruses, for more then just the grd 6 girls I learned about in 1970 grd 6 me bugged girl friend sorta what was that all about ... she told me ... said to promise on honor of our close friendship ... I agreed... geeze i said, sorry to hear you have that to put up with sometime soon... she said thx, dont forget I promised her to tell no one... i repeated yes agreed sorry for you ... she smiled, tilted her head, put her hand to my cheek and said thx I'll like you always if you keep your promise Cam...

Those how do i express, nice innocent just big caring times we shared ... wow ... miss that lol ;-)

As a teacher, this song never grows old. I loved it as a child and I love it even more now after having spent many years with young children.

Wow, I’m looking
at this record album and played it many times as a kid but never knew that it was Jerry Garcia playing the steel string guitar so iconically. Beautiful. He played the banjo, too. I used to play his recording of “Teddy Bears’ Picnic” to my kids; Garcia was amazing!

It's a nice song.

I hereby dedicate this song to every single parent on this Earth.

What a song. Brings back such good memories. Beautiful, also sad

How they are estelling. They we get inbell is should be in bells that is estect

Remembering my childhood days....

Zxx. Yo no sabia que tenías un hijo de 45 años.

When I was a struggling, very young, single mother, there were many times when I just felt that I didn't have the strength to go on...but I loved my babies so much... So I would put on this song, and I'd listen to it, and it ALWAYS made me feel so much better. In fact, this song deserves much of the credit for getting me through so many stressful times. After listening to this song, I'd be calmed down and smiling, realizing how very blessed I was to have such sweet, lovely children, and I'd go into their room, smiling, basking in their sweet "childhoodness."

Thank you so much, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young...

I remember two weeks after finding out I was going to be a single parent of three young kids. I layed in bed one night, too tired to take my cloths off, and this song came on the radio. I cried like a baby. The next day I got up and realized I had just got "hired" for the most important job any human could have. The rest is history.

I feel you and send you so much Love, 1955annemarie.

There is nothing better than a Mother's love ❤

So sad that so many American parents in the late 20th century chose to teach their children to be Nazis. Now we must determine how to deal with the aftermath for generations to come.

Used to listen to this in the late 80s starting my career. Now ending it and still listening

Pure and True..

Tristemente se prohibió la música para la humanidad, y dio un pasó a la actualidad 😿

A MINHA MÚSICA

I sang this song to my country Alabama grand dad after came out who loved to sing and played several instruments....he quietly listened and enjoyed it...

Hello from Berlin, Germany, aint that great !!! I do not have children but try to keep this spirit to the grown ups as well

I heard this beautiful song many donkey years ago but totally forgotten about it until I scroll tru Melody movie. It's like stumbling upon ur old discarded treasure n how it suddenly brings back pleasant memories.

🙈, das haben wir in den Siebzigern im Schulchor gesungen...man war das schön 😊

One of the BEST albums ever released!!

I was just looking for something to listen to and came across this I haven't heard this song in forever and forgot how much I love it

Missing my mother today. Regrets are hard. Things I said and did, things I should have said and done, and didn't. We always think we have more time, until our time's up.

Jerry Garcia on pedal steel guitar!

今から47年前の1972年、北海道の旭川市で当時私は大学生でした。その頃、市内にあったライブハウス「空想旅行館」に安全地帯(当時も同じグループ名)がよく出ていて、玉置浩二さんがこの曲を歌っていたのを懐かしく思い出しました。この曲はいつも入れていましたね。玉置さんは当時は旭川市内の高校生であり、学ランで店に入り、着替えてました。（笑）もちろん、当時は一地方のマイナーなバンド。その時、今のようなビッグネームになるとは予想だにしなかった。実力もさながら持ってる人なんですね。このときのベースが大学の一年後輩の友人だった。ギターの二人、双子の方だったかな。四国の徳島から北海道へ、キラキラとした青春の4年間だった。卒業してからは徳島に帰って現在まで。青春時代の忘れ得ぬ一曲です。

teach your children by EXAMPLE .. morals, values, decency... HONESTY.. and protect them through true PARENTAL care... parental APPS on all their computer devices, KNOW your kid's friends and their addresses and phone numbers and their friend's FAMILYS.... teach your kids NOT to take rides from strangers... teach your little girls to DRESS appropriately because there ARE predators out there who are aiming their sights on sexual abuse to YOUR kids/ boys or girls! TEACH your children by NOT abusing them yourselves.

The harmony, the lyrics, the music, the instruments, everything about this song is superb.

Jerry agreed to do the steel if they showed the dead some harmony lessons

You know what? That sounds just Like Jerry Garcia playing Pedal Steel Guitar in the Background!

wonderful memories

It was used for family rosary crusade life of the children in he Philippines in 1996

I'm 36. My parents always played their songs. Grew up listening and loving this music!

we are the generation who were blessed with the music of a time to bring back memories of good things to remember oh the good old days
