oh so adorable! It creeps into your hearing and will never disappear. Thank you for this wonderful music.

Becca Stevens is a great replacement for Graham Nash.
C'est la vie!

As long as the music plays we have hope !

A simple hope for all of us the reach out to each other 1

wonderful! poetic! heart touching! highest perfection!

I see this song as a brief respite of hope in a world which refuses to communicate and begs for darkness.

Great as always.

As if being happy wasn't good enough...

Nice song. Keep rocking Croz

OOH! CROZ!!!

Frail beauty, as David does so well !

Music by Becca Stevens, words by Crosby. This is a real grower ....I'm sure this is in a Michael Hedges tuning ...excellent, I think is my favourite from the album ...

Simply beautifully ....This song remember me Michael Hedges guitar. Greats Becca Stevens and Michelle Willis.

Nice! What a change from all the noise as of late.

Brilliant Croz!

Best songwriter of all times!

Ein wunderschöner Song! Und Becca Stevens ist sensationell.

From the 1st note...

By the light of common day
Things look different
Than they did in the starlit dark

the dark was warm and clouded
it was easy to deceive yourself
and those around you in the work

to say the craziness and pain
the spreading of the stain is
exactly where you gain the spark to make it

as if being happy isn’t quite enough
somehow I needed to make it rough
rough enough to break it

to make those long connections
and run in wrong directions
till I break it loose

I was wrong of course I see now
The spark is there all the time now
If you know How to listen to your calling
The muse is quietly knocking on your door now

to say the craziness and pain
the spreading of the stain is
exactly where you gain the spark to make it

as if being happy isn’t quite enough
somehow I needed to make it rough
rough enough to break it
rough enough to break it

you have to go faithfully each day
and open up your head some way
somehow

and what will come in answer
some strong and gentle dancer
will carry a song through your door

Some great lifting force of light
Will come to balance fearful night
Raise its voice and then raise yours
Raise its voice and then raise yours

where can if find the lyrics?

"By The Light Of Common Day"






By the light of common day

Things look different

Than they did in the starlit dark



The dark was warm and clouded

It was easy to deceive yourself

And those around you in the work



To say the craziness and pain

The spreading of the stain is

Exactly where you gain the spark to make it

As if being happy isn't quite enough

Somehow I needed to make it rough

Rough enough to break it



To make those long connections

And run in wrong directions

Till I break it loose



I was wrong of course I see now

The spark is there all the time now

If you know how to listen to your calling

The muse is quietly knocking on your door now



To say the craziness and pain

The spreading of the stain is

Exactly where you gain the spark to make it

As if being happy isn't quite enough

Somehow I needed to make it rough

Rough enough to break it

Rough enough to break it



You have to go faithfully each day

And open up your head some way

Somehow



And what will come in answer

Some strong and gentle dancer

Will carry a song through your door

Some great lifting force of light

Will come to balance fearful night

And raise its voice and then raise yours

Raise its voice and then raise yours

E' uno dei piaceri della vita poter ascoltare David Crosby , fin dal tempo dei Byrds . Un genio !!!

PLEASE GIVE US LYRICS!!
All the best i wish to you all!
:)

Just gorgeous! What I've been waiting for since..."Laughing."

Lyrics, PLEASE !!!! :)

Good lord who down voted this song? Tremendous.

Gallant and Elegant . He should sing to his last dying day.

This new album is so much better than his previous 'comeback' albums. So acoustic and intimate. A Huge improvement.

it's why he went with GroupUpMusic as his label. He worked with Michael League to help produce him the album he really wanted.

Great song!! I love the harmony

Nice! Nothing against the women, but I would love to have heard Nash singing on top of Croz on this one. Guess that'll never happen now...

simply perfection as always

why you do this album???

Just keeps getting better and better. Croz, where do you get all those words from?

David never fails to please me !

Can someone tell me some similar artists/songs plz ? I really love that kind of warm & soft music, with acoustic guitar & those voices :) !

If you like David Crosby and Becca Stevens, check out The Staves

They're nice ! Thx for the recommendation :) A bit too happy for me tho ^^

Try The Civil Wars if you haven't heard them. Male/Female harmonies with quite a melancholic feel and stripped back instrument-wise.

Daughter, Keaton Henson, Stateless, Boy, Bon Iver... check their unplugged/acoustic versions as well.

Really beautiful!

it sounds like the old csn super....

Exquisite and what a great collaboration with Becca and Michelle, beautiful singers in their own right. Working with David must have been a dream come true. He's so good

Extraordinaire, comme toujours avec David Crosby !

Fragile, Warm, Soft, straight in to my heart!

NICE song man!!

Great harmonies and nice atmosphere.

Man, this is real good.
