Wooden Ships - Crosby Stills Nash and Young

[itsmeAllard]

nice song, though Neil Young wasnt yet in the band when they recorded this

[kwgthacher]

for all the "pop music" and just plain radio-pleasing music, CSNY was an oasis ...

[kirbycol3]

I forgot how much I Love this song! Guitar solo, harmonies, words... Perfect! Thank you!

" I can see by your Coat, my Friend, you're from the Other side.... Goosebumps every time!

[urkle06]

i thought the aliens were after the erb that i've been growning but i'm sure they dig the tunes as well. they do go great together.

[bhite41]

The music of the 60's will forever remain as the most innovative and stylistic of all time. This is music 'touched by the hand of God' and echoes endless across the universe. That is why aliens have been showing up. They want to meet the really cool people who have made such awesome music. All they find though is a civilization not civilized at all by all empirical evidence.

[Kelmourne]

Pffft, there's good music and culture these days that rivals the quality of the best 60's music, it just goes by un-noticed as all the shitty music of this generation reaps the fame.

[verbaud]

People will look back at the 50's, 60's, 70's as a Renaissance of Culture...some have held on...most surrendered to MTV and media hype. Some dreamed they could change the world, most dreamed they could just get rich. Some things never change, only sometimes. Bless us all.

[Kelmourne]

Maybe not the 50's IMO. Also, music as good as the 60's IS being made today, it just doesn't receive any attention. If you want great music similar to this in style, try checking out Tame Impala. They sound straight out of the 60's and are simply amazing!

[AncilWayneSmith]

I,in my humble belief,is that some of the most beautiful music ever created my Man came out of the 1960's!!,with also maybe music from Mozart,and Beethoven's time.There was so much love and emotion from the notes and the lyrics,that it's like from the heart,is what makes it what it is,timeless.

[SwordOfTruth3]

Apocalypse...

[ez8martinguitar]

how bout that for an opening line

[Livie59869308]

I like the song and the group very much.

[DirkjeA]

Indeed I always thought this was about Vietnam, but the version of cdishmo is not so bad too. But I also thought the purple berries reffered to the purple haze trips? That what Jimmy Hendrix is also singing about? But I might be wrong ofcourse. Still, stays one of the most beautiful songs I ever heard.

[cassianpet]

also,  this verse appears to relate to vietnam too. 2:38-3:00. all that grips us as we watch you die, all we can do is echo your anguished cries, stare, as all human feelings die, we are leaving, you don't need us!!! beautiful, beautiful harmonies. wow!!!!

[cassianpet]

are you guys kidding. this song is about one thing, Vietnam!!! check the lyric. i can see by your coat, my friend your from the other side, there's just one thing we got to know can you tell me please, Whoooo Won! 1:09 to 1:22. the basic meaning in this song, know one side really wins in a war!!!

[dtstlou]

This is about the civil war. They have done sevral songs with this theme

[Kelmourne]

I thought it was a post-apocalyptic song?

[arthurseery]

I thought it was sorta Post-Apocalyptic with references to Homer's Odyssey (the Lotus eaters).

Here, eat this... Everything will be Fine.

[kirbycol3]

It certainly is ! " I can see by your Coat, my Friend, you're from the other side..."

The Blue/Grey.... Awesome tune1

[cdishmo]

Today, Tuesday 10/7/08 after first hearing this song 39 years ago, I picture the wooden ships coming from Europe and the Native Americans welcoming them. And the purple berries as food that kept the Pilgrims alive when they were starving. Maybe my interpretation is all wrong. The wooden ships could be going anywhere.

[Longshotsblues]

CAN YOU TELL ME, WHO WON?

Isn't that the truth.

May peace find you all.

[DirkjeA]

Beautiful lyrics and melodie, loved this song from the first time I heard it, so many years ago...

Stays in your heart forever

[CRAZOLA3]

yes it does the song genivere does too

[DirkjeA]

I always thought that Guinevere was written by Stephen Stills and David Crosby and refered to Judy Collins, just like the song Suite Judy Blue Eyes. Judy was the woman loved by Stephen Stills at that time. But I might be wrong ofcourse.

[disgrl4]

Reminds me of the scenes in the "Woodstock" documentary, when this song is playing in the background....ugh, I WISH I LIVED IN THE 60'S!!

[DanBell47]

I want this played at my funeral!!!!!!!!!!

[opolo2112]

Transcendental.

[iqgenesis]

Help please !!! I think that CSNY made a song in the seventies where the main theme was a soldier,the year 1776 and a tombstone. Anybody knows the title of that song if it was made by them or one of them ??? It could be another band too. Thanks for any help.

[HMBsteve]

You are most likely thinking "Cathedral"

[dbrunsonsr]

CSN+Y. Did someone say "awesome"?

[dtstlou]

I am 59 and still listening....

[panjolakingman]

keep listening

[DirkjeA]

This is so sweet, I am 52 and grew up with CSN&Y. Nice to know there are so many ppl still enjoying this music, young and

old(er).... Ahhh what is old?? They say the devil is old, so we are staying young forever aren't we?

[67genxer]

my era started 1983 proper but I can't get over how how good this sounds, listened to it for the last 17 years...that sixties bass sound that no one duplicates anymore..high notes on the bass just love it all the sound is so good

[mikerotethis]

MY GOD the guitar and bass are amazing together.

[hiwhatsup34]

im 13 and im listening these guys. i think thats gotta say SOMETHING....

[kirbycol3]

You have great taste, for a young " kid" !

[hiwhatsup34]

i grew up with them, that could be an influence. but they're great. Teach Your Children makes me cry... in a good way.

[eddiescourt]

plus im usually only into dance nd rave music!!

[eddiescourt]

im 17 nd 4 sum reason i think dis song is lethal!!

[lacerda70]

It's the bass that makes this song. Awesome.

[panjolakingman]

tooooooo.cooooool.

[panjolakingman]

tooooooo goooood music my man.heard them in the 70s.and now listening to them is a PURE PLEASURE.

[bill500carphead]

nice

[panjolakingman]

get back my man

[KrauserPwns09]

This guys were GREAT!! even when they were with other bands.

[terrance58]

This is about Viet Nam - the wooden ships of the Vietnamese. You always have to understand these guys in the context of Vietnam.

[samalex79]

im begging the original poster to take Neil Young's name off of the title.Young joined later right before the release of the 2nd album.You should know this by now.COME ON!!I'd rather you put Paul Kantner's name alongside Crosby and Stills.

[gardog1024]

that nice mellow stephen stills guitar!

[schizoeffected]

yes you can have some iv been eatin them for 6 - 7 weeks now and havent been sick once

- MaRz

[bigtimeflyer]

I need some "purple berries"...

[hotski777]

Simpicity....Nice! FEED THE WORLD

[inwarrenlooking]

great song i love it great band

[panjolakingman]

try to get back to me.

[darkmoon123321]

is that neil young playing the guitar it sure does sound like him

[DirkjeA]

I think it is Stephen Stills and David Crosby

[bodiza420]

Seems like it's about war and people leaving the chaos behind. Starting over. Maybe we all need a wooden ship to get away from silver people

[DFADguitar]

Yeah, So Far is a greatest hits album. This was from Crosby, Stills & Nash, Young wasn't even in the band yet. Love the song, sounds best on a vinyl though. Everything does.

[justice1thunder]

Hi, the art work is simple, and We Like It!!! Oh Yeah, And A Great Song Too!!!!

[Ly1212]

that's what the description said.

[Notimeleftforyou2]

The song is about a nuclear holocaust, where the people must flee the devestation in wooden ships.

[crimsonblad5]

this song is so good

but if you listen closely

it gets into Slavery.

and ppl being enslaved or somthing like that

[TheStrokesBaby]

Their voices are incredible, almost brought me to tears. I love them, and the beautiful music that fills my ears right now!

[WelchMx]

Isn't So Far a greatest hits...? I thought this song was originally on Crosby, Stills & Nash

[stagesofcoma]

Yes.

[Ly1212]

that's what I thought too

[fuckbush16]

CNSY is the shit. shut up you god dam teenagers. oh wait ou kids are gonna be like "shut up im 23" SHUYT THE FUCK UP PLEEZ!!! SHUT THE FUCKK UPP!!!!

[stagesofcoma]

Um, and what makes you think a younger person can't dig CSNY??? You're really narrow, man.

[MilesTrane21]

Thanks, I'm a teenager and I love CSN&Y

[Ly1212]

[Notimeleftforyou2]

The way you type it sounds like you're 15.
