My uncle played this on cassette in his house, in his studio, smoking cigarettes, humming along, and sending me to make pots of tea. A great education for a young man (who's now in his 50s), and a great legacy for David Crosby. Journey well Mr Crosby, and thanks for a lifetime of music

I grew up listening to Crosby, Stills, Nash and young. I am honored to say I David Crosby preform 3 different times in different stages of my life. I am 69 now and at the red rocks amphitheater in Colorado on a beautiful fall night, David stepped to the front of the stage while Stills was playing his solo part of a song. He stood there overlooking the crowd like a proud approving elder, his long beautiful freak flag of hair still blowing in the wind and his stern mustached smile beaming out at us! I remember thinking to myself - thank you David - thank God for you and the guys! What an era of music and struggles! An entire generation loves you and there he stood like master of us all gladly following his storied life. I am truly grateful and sadden on this day. Thanks for the memories! You tried to change the world. Someday the world will listen and change for the betterment of mankind. May it be tomorrow. Goodbye David Crosby - fare thee well.

He has always known that he has been able to be open and honest about his life. And his reflections on some of the most significant forks in the road for him did indeed make me cry. The innocence of youth for most of us.

Such a beautiful song, and a very, very powerful visual, too. For many of us watching and listening to this tonight (Jan 19, 2023), it provides a fitting tribute /memorial. Goodbye, David Crosby. Thank you and your bandmates for providing the soundtrack to our generation.

RIP, Mr. Crosby. The torch is carried forward because we teach our children well. 🕯

God speaks to me in various ways. Sometimes it's audible and that's when I need specific information or instructions. Sometimes He asks ME questions, and sometimes He brings a song repeatedly to me. This is the song. The words "And know they love you" is what has struck me in the heart. I think both my grandson (who I say I am raising, but he is really raising me!) and I need to be reminded that we actually love each other. I am teaching him to walk in my footsteps by example, not just words. BUT I am also teaching him (audibly) to NOT walk in my footsteps in all the areas where I tripped and fell. He's listening.

My ten year older brother bought Déjà Vu right when it came out in The Netherlands in March 1970. As a ten year old I heard him play this album ad infinitum and thus it became my wayfarer for the past 53 years. But only now that my 21 and 20 year old daughters have left the house to go study across the ocean, after gaining adulthood in the universally known painful process of attaining their independence from us, do I not only understand, but also undergo the full force of this Song of Songs. The unbroken circle of life as described in Genesis with first Eve then Adam attaining consciousness, realizing their mortality and self-conscious of their nakedness they flee home to fend for themselves, leaving their bewildered father behind who gave them said consciousness and self-determination. No original sin there, just leaving home, just empty nest…

So, just look at them and sigh, And know they love you. [Verse in the background:] Can you hear and do you care And can't you see We must be free To teach your children What you believe in, Make a world that we can live in? And you, of tender years, Can't know the fears That your elders grew by. And so please help them with your youth. They seek the truth Before they can die. Teach your parents well. Their children's hell Will slowly go by. And feed them on your dreams. The one they pick's the one you'll know by. Don't you ever ask them, "Why?" If they told you, you would cry.
