Crosby, Still, Nash & Young - Teach Your Children

[Winkle6749]

I wish this song was longer :(

[norezenable]

jerry garcia played the steel guitar on this song.

[JonBenait06]

Who is 'Still'?

[mwduck]

@JonBenait06 Steven Stills

[JonBenait06]

@mwduck you mean 'Stephen', right? no need to answer, I was merely pointing out that the guy in charge was in such a hurry to put this up he spelled one of the stars' names wrong. And that is why people buy more Toyotas than Fords.

[EverFlowingDrainage]

I just went to a show with my young adult "kids" and we all loved the music together - something that was not happening in the 60s and 70s. The music was popular - played on Vancouver Radio The Peak 100.1 FM and very compatible with CSNY. Check out Good For Grapes, Washboard Union and Matinee!

[nancymccracken]

I'm almost 56 yrs old, and proud to still have my original copy of this LP , which I purchased the year it came out <3 <3 <3

[6985funny1001]

私は離婚したばかりで、子供たちと離ればなれになった。

私は、自分の子供たちに愛されているのか。

父親として何ができるのか。

支えたい。助けたい。力になりたい。

そう強く思っていた。

だけど、この曲の日本語訳詩をみたら、心が救われた。

見守ろう。強く強く…

信じよう。子供たちからの一心の愛を…



[sisubilly]

@6985funny1001　私はトッキです。

[UROXZMYSOXZ]

I will never forget this playing loud in the garage as my dad and I would do landscape. I hated it when I was young, but I love it the more I hear it.

[daj4444]

This song is basically one of wisdom.

[sandyFL100]

~~I was coming back home and had the Radio on 96.9 FM the Eagle Station and Whala~in Grattide, in Peace with Love, Joy and Compassion~~Thank you so much for posting this ~

[taxidriver7878]

10 people hate their parents and themselves.

[Isstepbros15]

I am 17 years old. Growing up in a generation where main stream music glorifies sex, money and violence, it amazes me how many people listen to that garbage when they have nothing to relate to. When I listen to the counter culture music such as CSNY and The Beatles and the Rolling Stones, I realize how much I can relate to the issues that they talk about. I sometimes wish I grew up in the 70s.

[daj4444]

@Isstepbros15 Agreed.

[DragonAdored]

@Isstepbros15 main stream definitely hits rock bottom these days. unfortunately the good bands get little recognition. there definitely needs to be a musical revolution!!!

[shit6152]

@Isstepbros15 you're not alone I'm 14 and have the exact same problem

[mikehjohnsonozarkboy]

@shit6152 That makes me feel good to hear that music from my era is still breathing in the young. Cool. Peace.

[mattbell83]

@Isstepbros15 It's nice to see some of the younger generation listening to this music, not the Lady Gaga's and such crap.

[CoolProductionTV]

@Isstepbros15 RESPECT.

[realwoman50]

@Isstepbros15 That being said, as one who came of age during the 70's, it grieves me to see how many of my generation have sold themselves out for the very money and violence you mentioned. It's in your generation's hands now. Don't mess it up. Peace...

[spsamp]

This is one of the greatest songs ever written. Period.

[LetArtsLive]

love this song.they used this on the gibson website

[airsoftjj]

Jerry Garcia on pedal slide... great

[cbarrett34]

@airsoftjj yup, a lot of people don't even realize this is jerry on the pedal steel. in my opinion, his licks totally made this song what it became

[writetothepoint1960]

This was our grad song. I like it.

[WiseGuyDogs1]

These guys from the "War Baby"generation did us proud. I have heard many bands try to copy the way CSN&Y did this and few were even close. That steel guitar player puts this tune out of the reach of many that try to copy what they did. It took 800 studio hours to record Deja vu. It was a master piece like the Eagle's Desperado and the Beatles Sargent Pepper and Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. A once in a lifetime work of art. Thanks for making our life better with your songs.

[pbrucpaul]

How are the kids of the '60's going to bring what they learned to the table when they become parents. Very Prophetic!

[MrStevie777]

Why am i in tears here...:(

[ZINGGO]

The 9 dislikes did not teach their children well .

[majbrittsmith]

elsker dette nr.....og elsker flerstemmig sang

[TheRockandroll420]

Im 15 and proud to own this record

[TheChubyman5]

Flying down old country roads, windows down, this song cranked. I may not show it dad, and you may not either, tough as nails I grew up and Im more like you than you think, I know you love me, and I love you too. This brings back dang good memories. CSNY <3

[pbrucpaul]

This is pretty much about how the kids of the '60's were going to have to live up to the expectations that they made for the next generation. Have they done it?

[funkfanzzify]

@pbrucpaul You tell me? 

[SaraAnne01]

this was my parents wedding song. :) <3

We still listen to it alot. Gives me and mom goosebumps.

It's a great song. The classics NEVER die! 

[wakingup2010]

yep

[kittycorner224]

Its way to bad the "new" generation can't live this way...

[iTrollUtube]

@kittycorner224 hahah yer too bad we aren't all hippies 

[slganuch]

Search Buffalo Springfield Wikipedia.

[Sackvilleboys]

@slganuch

I don't think I need wikipedia, nor do I need to be 60 years old, to know the history of CSN&Y. Stills and Young were both in Buffalo Springfield together. Nash was in the Hollies, and Crosby was in the Byrds. CS&N released an album, and Young joined the group afterward. Am I missing something here?

[lampang3]

@Sackvilleboys

Neil Young is from Canada

[slganuch]

I was speaking of the group change, in band member change & appear at different times - I'm a 60 yr old music fan so I was there - again speaking in a broad scope!

[natobaden]

@whursmyguitar oh my so cool  ty !!

[MrIDKnow]

who the hell doesn't like Teach Your Children and when did they lose their souls?

my god, what are they thinking!?!

[slganuch]

You know C S N evolved from Buffalo Springfield and later added Neil Young - C S N & Y

[Sackvilleboys]

@slganuch Except for the part where Crosby was in the Byrds and Nash was in the Hollies...

[voivodvlad1]

Lyrics still bring a tear. Especially now when I think of my own kids.

[ecavuto]

What a great tune! Never truly listened to the lyrics until today.

[garykelly1944]

Wonderful. Simple as that.

[cbarrett34]

jerry garcia on pedal steel guitar

[kntshrm]

@cbarrett34 Fantastic. Magic. i had no idea it was Garcia until recently. He did an awesome job on it.

[cbarrett34]

@kntshrm yes, jerry totally made this song 1,000 times better with his magic on it

[somenoobz]

i have this on vinyl. too bad there is this scratch on this song

[pbrucpaul]

Jerry Garcia was so fine on that Steel Gutiar. this is a statement on how the kids of the '60's were now becoming Parents. the message was "how are you going to practice what you preach to the kids after that" The rest is history.

[Lesgrimshaw15]

there are no honors for this video.

[lilynick1]

Hey you! No I'm not mean. Early days yet. Things will improve. Its awkward right now but she knows you love her. You have to ride the storm. She's a strong girl, she'll make it.

[troyvanbarter]

hey, even 13 year olds can enjoy this song.

[Johnprime69]

@whursmyguitar He was a very accomplished musician! The best seem to always die to soon.

[52cranky]

this song is one of their best

[dizzyloo]

All Parents make mistakes. We're human after all. Try to avoid the mistakes your Parents made with you. 

[dannydutchboy2011]

okie dokie

[bailey217769]

Heard this watching that 70's show & i like this song nothing interesting ugh! ridiculous

[dannydutchboy2011]

hmm interesting?

[windstorm1000]

Now REALLY listen to this song...it will help you save the planet.

[coupleofbeers31]

this song never fails to bring a tear to my eye just beautiful

[MrJylong]

Still I´m on the road after 40 years - but where are my children, .....Neil...Stephen...David... ??

[honeykisses1987]

The Fleet Foxes of the 1960's.

[degree7]

@honeykisses1987

Fleet Foxes are good, but how many songs have they written that are as harmonious and just plain eye-opening as this gem?

[honeykisses1987]

@degree7 Mykonos, White Winter Hymnal, Blue Ridge Mountains, Your Protector, Grown Ocean, etc.

[degree7]

@honeykisses1987

Actually, now that I think about it, Fleet Foxes really aren't even comparable with CSNY. CSNY are more rooted in the blues and country, while Fleet Foxes are, if anything, more similar to Simon and Garfunkel or some other Greenwich Village folk act.

[MikiSumner]

I think a lot of this song's meaning is about communication. If you have that open communication with your children (and not do as I say not as I do) it makes your relationship with them so much easier. They also learn from what they see though, so think twice.

[Jpsparks25]

Jerry garcia on the steel guitar makes this song even better!

[pbrucpaul]

@Jpsparks25 YES!

[SnakeDoctorSilver]

@Jpsparks25 It would ruin it, the song is perfect. You don't mess with one of the most perfect songs ever made. I song that never gets old.

[animalsoflife]

/watch?v=1GKz-6iN6bM PLIZ WATCH!

[MegaVeronicaLodge]

WATCH YOUR CHILDREN WELL ~

Peace,

V

[serenitygal1951]

CSNY one of the best ! I never tire of them and their music is so uplifting...from a 70's love child...our music from our generation of Joplin, Zep, Santana, Hendrix, Stones and Beatles etc. was and still is the best !

[Papajack55]

@serenitygal1951 Way to go serenitygal. I was raised since the '50s listening to hank Williams Jr.'s Dad, and all of Jerry Lewis, Elvis Presley, and so on. Great music, but the Beatles were more of a progressive band, but individually, they were talented.

[ditralavonnelankford]

just teaching them with your love and hugs! OMA of 3 kids and 9 grandbabies. peace out!'

[ToxicSoccerPlaya4124]

the best thing about being 13, but having a dad who's 52?

you get to listen to this kind of music all the time :)

[TCVraver]

Too bad Jerry didn't pursue the pedal steel further

[istoppux]

@TCVraver

Take a listen to the Grateful Dead studio version of The Wheel here on Youtube. It's another of my favorite JG pedal steel songs.

[bommer5454]

perhaps if we all taught our childern well the world would become a better place

[originalpauper]

Great though they are, each of them, the fact they had to call in Jerry Garcia with his "STEAL" guitar, says something, doesn't it?

[lilwolf072557]

@originalpauper

It mostly says that spelling is not your forte. Puns aren't either, to cover that base.

[josephvr777]

This song means so much to me personally...

[rossobass420]

My old man taught me to love Rock N' Roll. He taught me well.

[rd40077]

This song appeals more to the mature-reflective-discerning-s­ensitive audience who haven't grown up with the internet, so lets say not as familiar  with the facility that is youtube. Can I predict that when the younger generation's tire of the prevailing music trends, there will be a search for meaningful songs like this (and others) which have built in qualities to stand the test of time. Then you will see the hit numbers exceed all expectations.

[greatfulsurferdude]

Jerry Garcia was the steel guitar player!!!!! Love ya Jerry!!!

[ar9227]

only 100,000 views for a amazing powerful song? Millions of views for Beber... Whats wrong with this picture

[committeesq]

This is a song that is a classic in my top favorite 100 songs,, considering there must be 500 plus big hits.

[dobravery]

God, if there was ever a song that inspires you to make the world better for your children to grow up in. . .

[kchogfan]

one of the all-time great songs!

[Django5198]

jerry is on pedal steel

[bizakis9]

Happy Birthday to David Crosby today, 8-14-2011,, I love this song so much..

[craftygirl7]

I think I want to dance to this song with my father at my wedding next year! I love you daddy! <3 :)

[bstarzewski]

@AlphonsePotter Thats a great story. My mom died in January too but I am 58 not 18. It is an idea out of a more optimistic time when we thought we could change the world. I hear it today and wonder what happened.

[rebeccalforbes]

@bstarzewski I understand that this song came out of the 60s "a more optimistic time"...but I'm listening to it and thinking of my 64 year old dad and my 2 year old daughter...and I feel the optimism inside me. Maybe it isn't as strongly a movement right now, but I just want to say that the lyrics still ring true. Love you dad and baby girl!!!

[bstarzewski]

@rebeccalforbes You have to understand the times. There was a lot of talk about "the generation gap" between our depression and WW II era parents and us who saw things like the Viet Nam war in very different contexts. Its a call to our parents and to ourselves that maybe we really did want the same things. "They seek the truth before the can die" and then contrast this with "Ohio" and you can see the rift this was trying to heal.

[wonthefu]

@bstarzewski What happened is that people gave up. The people who really meant it died, the people who were following them started following whatever they found. Which isn't to say that optimism and desire for change is dead, but it's a hard road, and people won't go down it without having a strong role-model to go ahead of them.

Regardless of that, this is a terrific song and album.

[bstarzewski]

@wonthefu What happened was that the same generation which had never known adversity in the golden years of the 50s and early 60s became selfish and expected never to be asked to do more than take care of themselves. They got old and joined the TEA party and have become what they hated then.

[MrJylong]

childen -- your road...



[Xenooo2k]

could do a lot worse than that

[gnatpiz]

@whursmyguitar I had no idea Garcia was such a good steel player. He's right up there with Sneeky Pete for me...

[TheHimawarijapan]

名曲です（拍手）

確かあの「小さな恋のメロディ」のエンディングに流れていました­ね！

トレイシー・ハイド、かわいかったな～



[dagodfadder]

@whursmyguitar yup, as well as so many others that so lil people know about, brewer and shipley tarkiro road is the hardest vinyl lp of him to find

[JayofNJ]

Probably my favorite song of all time. The music itself is awesome, the instrumentantation is byeond belief, and the singing is fantastic.

[rd40077]

Could never tire of hearing this wonderful composition, it does something for me that music rarely does. I begin to get emotional, start contemplating and worse start dreaming and temporarily leave reality....good feeling.

[bmpearson1]

@theAceMod1979 that's radical.

[redhead438]

Its Jerry Garcia From the Greatful Dead playing the pedal steel guitar!

[jtraske]

@redhead438 yes!

[stingerswrath24]

such a beautiful petal steel intro it could make you tear

[wedgem]

Definitely one of the greatest songs ever written: Music and lyrics!

[Michskier22]

I  love this Song

[cheWo024]

I dig Jerry Garcia on the Steel!!! Heard it was one of the first times he picked it up and just ripped it for this recording!!

[originalpauper]

@cheWo024 Is it Jerry? He is peerless of course, but I am intrigued why none of the four members of the group played the guitar?!

[jmzfactor]

@originalpauper They all played guitar, but this is pedal steel...none of them played that.

[mahala2345]

didnt this hit the country charts as well

[Hashjihadful]

Ah yea Jerry Garcia on that steel peddle

[haleycarmickle]

So just look at them and sigh

And know they love you.

Warm fuzzy part of the song for me :]

[wolfkarel]

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! :-)

[deecolone]

This makes me think of my grandmother and how crazy our relationship was when I was younger and how we have both learned from eachother over the years! Love you Granny!

[Baskerville22]

Nice tune...but a pity about the "children teach the parents" leftist tosh.

[RonPaulOrDie]

mm spirits of rebellion

[krazyrock94]

2 people don't want to teach their children well..

[DivaViva]

For some reason this song always makes me want to cry a little...

[nokingnolies]

their guitar chords are beautiful,incredibly beautiful now as it were thirty years ago...endless music !!!!

[manny565back]

love the intro

[RJSampsonite]

Beyond excellent use of the slide guitar...

[awnok]

@RJSampsonite Pedal Steel. He was not very good, old Jerry.

[Hashjihadful]

@awnok Ha that opinion is laughable, I mean he only played the lead lick to a song that garnered #16th in 1970, popularity doesn't mean he is good although...

[awnok]

@Hashjihadful He was a very poor steeler then. He may have improved later on, but that is basic stuff played badly if effectively for it's time.

[annamorland1]

This song reminds me of Reseda and raising 4 kids. It made me cry then, and it made me cry now. Great song, many memories. Mama tried.

[jeffllind]

These are words that we all need to remember and use.

[jfulbright]

Oh, Jerry Garcia...thanks for the ped steel.



[thedoorsareblue]

Great song by CSNY. Gerry Garcia on the steel guitar, God rest your soul.

[pizzaangel17]

this song is the bomb on the film CORAL REEF ADVENTURE by macgililvray freeman if ur a fan of crosby stills and nash that film has alot of their songs on it!

[bossnmoo]

thats jerry garcia on the steel guita.. bless his memory!

[AlphonsePotter]

This was my mother's favorite song. She would play it for her dad all of the time when it came out. And it became their song. She played this song for me about a year ago, and it really stuck with me. Not only because it allowed me to share what she shared with her parent, but because it is such a good song. My mom passed away this past January. Even though I'm only 18, I'll always appreciate this song for its values. It's a great song.

[WhiteWolf1088]

@AlphonsePotter That's a wonderful story :)

Hope you're doing ok now, I'm 22 and I'm sure it can't be easy losing a parent at such a relatively young age (like myself)

Love :)

[DrSamba1]

@AlphonsePotter Sorry for your loss.

[jonkheere1]

@AlphonsePotter

I am with Dr Samba,When I say So sorry to hear of Your Dear Mum's passing.

I played guitar,and sang this song at a Family party many Years ago,and My own Dear Sweet Mum,Who I sadly lost Five Years ago,loved it till the Day She died.

So My Friend,Like Yourself,I too will always appreciate this song for the memories alone.

Best wishes to You.

[IRISHgirlSDCG]

@AlphonsePotter This was also my Momma's favorite song. She just passed away in June. I'm only 19. I saw your comment on here and cried. We are far too young to lose our moms. But we may have lost them, but we gained angels. <3

[AlphonsePotter]

@IRISHgirlSDCG I am sorry for your loss. It is true, our mothers were taken from us too soon. Much too soon. But we have to keep our chins up, live our lives as successfully as we can, and try our best to make our mothers proud. :)

[DELTABOYIST]

@AlphonsePotter Hey that's a great story-I real feel for you,fella.Pass it on.Good to read input like this.

[jargonhead]

@AlphonsePotter I'm really sorry for your loss man. But this song will exist forever, and so will forever tie you to your mother and your feelings for her.

Never forget the values she instilled in you, and make sure to spread the love.

[led1071]

:)

[1966Danie]

Thanks for posting it.....Beautiful song and lyrics ....

[1962drob]

So now I'm Number 72 to like this. Great song to mellow out to.

IT'S UP TO US TO KEEP THE SPIRIT OF ROCK AND ROLL ALIVE!!!

[1962drob]

This is great song by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

[gemdavey]

You need to" teach" this one person what good music is....

[1962drob]

@gemdavey Yeah Really! This is a great song. I can't see how anyone does not like it. I listen to a lot of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal, and even I like this song. It's a classic!!!

[Frankthegb]

@gemdavey Hey, buddy, this is Cold War music telling children of the baby boomers and their parents to accept each other's choices about the childrens' drafting letters into the military. Someone needs to teach YOU to appreciate these people and this song.

[moy468]

excellent song

[extrabases20]

dont you ever ask them why? if they told you you would cry. just look at them and sigh.  and know they love you...

[dansteely77]

One of the most memorable, uplifting pedal steel guitar performances I know of, as well as one of the most MAINSTREAM and it was performed by none other than JERRY GARCIA, who was more well-known, certainly, for his soaring Alembic six-string picking with "The Dead".

[aecs422]

Thank you for posting the actual CSNY version. One of my most favorite songs.

[Ruiggie]

Just purchased the CD 40 years after having owned the cassette. The 'late' cassette having been chewed up by the car's cassette player!

[Beatleluver1234567]

@Ruiggie that sucks so bad x(

[Ruiggie]

@Beatleluver1234567 Never mind, will transfer CD to cassette and have it back in the car soon LOL
