Stunning performance. Fontayne’s guitar playing is perfect.

One of the most beautiful tunes from the CSNY era of the 70s. Songs for Beginners...top class!! Wonderful album. What a beautiful guitar solo from Shayne Fontaine

Such a beautiful song, and absolutely my favorite Graham Nash song. "And in my bed late at night, God how I miss you." Such a sad line, and how telling the next. "Someone is gonna take my heart, but no one is gonna break my heart again." A song writer can not put his heart more out on his sleeve. Joni passed on something very special.

I built my life on sand and I watched crumble in the dust. Unfortunately, I personally know how true that can be.

Nash's BEST solo song ever. Beyond amazing how much the electric guitarist covered and filled quite effectively with style. Funny on Joni's album released shortly before, has a song on it ..... "I had a King." Regret vs Reality vs Pride. Complicated, but made some GREAT music.

This song is off of one of the best unknown albums ever made "Songs for Beginners"

I've loved this song for 45 years! Watching him singing it now, flooded my brain with memories! I purchased Songs for Beginners in Russell, KS in 1972

One of Graham's best!

I love this version with the duo....God Bless You, Graham Nash!

Songs for Beginners album one of my all time favs! Alot of good songs!

used to listen to this album every night to go to sleep with my girlfriend. aloha Mr. Nash!

I well remember this song from Songs for Beginners in 1972. Besides the song's exquisite beauty I remember Jerry Garcia playing the pedal steel guitar and creating an emotional context that syncs with Nash's vocal. Nash handles the song awfully well for pushing 80. A real artist.

One of my Favorite Albums (Songs for Beginners)along with 4 Way Street.

Shane Fontayne on guitar. Awesome musician and musical director at Kennedy Center Honors... Led Zeppelin, Heart, Stairway to Heaven

I belong to a classic rock FB Page and everyone is always asking questions like what was your favorite song by this artist or that artist or what was your favorite album of all times....lots of questions like that.....and I can never answer those questions because there are just too many songs and albums from those days that I loved so much - I could never pick just one. HOWEVER that being said - if someone held me down and said tough crap you HAVE to pick just one song as your favorite of all times....I would have to pick I used to be a King ( the studio version) - This version is a gem as well -- I just love Shayne's solo.....it has more heart than any solo from some of those players who can play a million notes a second.

Great great great song!

Graham Nash's ALWAYS good , PERIOD !!!

Temasoooooo. Grande Graham

Simple music is the best

Thanks, Beautiful

Best version of this ever is by Berry Duane Oakley (bass/vocals), Thorson Moore (guitar), and Mike Fender (drums) at Siesta Key Oyster Bar in Sarasota Florida. Heard them play it several times there in 2018. Stunningly beautiful.
