       Crosby, Stills & Nash (CSN) is a folk rock supergroup made up of American singer-songwriters David Crosby and Stephen Stills, and English singer-songwriter Graham Nash. When joined by Canadian singer-songwriter Neil Young as a fourth member, they are called Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (CSNY). They are noted for their intricate vocal harmonies, often tumultuous interpersonal relationships, political activism, and lasting influence on American music and culture.

             CSN formed in 1968 shortly after Crosby, Stills and Nash performed together informally in July of that year, discovering they harmonized well. Crosby had been asked to leave The Byrds in late 1967, and Stills' band Buffalo Springfield had broken up in early 1968; Nash left his band The Hollies in December, and by early 1969 the trio had signed a recording contract with Atlantic Records. Their first album, Crosby, Stills & Nash, was released in May 1969, from which came two Top 40 hits, "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" [#21] and "Marrakesh Express" [#28]. In order to tour the album, the trio hired drummer Dallas Taylor and session bassist Greg Reeves, though they still needed a keyboardist; Ahmet Ertegun suggested Neil Young, who had played with Stills in Buffalo Springfield, and after some initial reluctance, the trio agreed, signing him on as a full member. The band, now named Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, started their tour, and played their second gig at Woodstock Festival in the early morning hours of August 18, 1969. The first album with Young, Déjà Vu, reached number one in several international charts in 1970, and remains their best selling album, going on to sell over 8 million copies with three hit singles. Four singles were released from the album including "Woodstock", "Teach Your Children", and "Our House". The group's second tour, which produced the live double álbum 4 Way Street (1971), was fraught with arguments between Young and Taylor, which resulted in Taylor being replaced by John Barbata, and tensions with Stills, which resulted in his being temporarily dismissed from the band. At the end of the tour the band split up. The group have since reunited several times, sometimes with and sometimes without Young, and have released eight studio and four live albums.

           Crosby, Stills & Nash were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and all three members were also inducted for their work in other groups (Crosby for the Byrds, Stills for Buffalo Springfield and Nash for the Hollies). Neil Young has also been inducted as a solo artist and as a member of Buffalo Springfield but not as a member of CSN. They have not made a group studio album since 1999's Looking Forward, and have been inactive as a performing unit since the end of 2015. Whether or not this break is permanent remains to be seen, as the group has often been inactive for years at a time.

          Daylight Again is the seventh album by Crosby, Stills & Nash, and their fourth studio album comprising original material. It peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, the final time the band has made the top ten to date. Three singles were released from the album, all making the Billboard Hot 100: "Wasted on the Way" peaked at No. 9, "Southern Cross" at No. 18, and "Too Much Love to Hide" at No. 69. The album was certified platinum by the RIAA with sales of 1,850,000

There are windows on the water
Lighting up the silver strand
Shining on the sea
Shining on the sea
 
And the ocean's just a player
On an old piano
Who repeats one melody
Repeats one melody
 
I belong on the shore
Hustlin' nickels and dimes
'Cause it ain't long before it's gone
You might as well have a good time
 
[Instrumental (Piano)]
 
Well, the elbows of his jacket
Are blue and shiny
He's drunk and gone to seed
He's drunk and gone to seed
 
And he mumbles as he plays
The only song he knows
It's the only song he needs
The only song he needs
 
I belong on the shore
Hustlin' nickels and dimes
'Cause it ain't long before it's gone
You might as well have a good time
 
[Instrumental (Piano)]
 
All his restless music
Don't mean a damn thing to me
The shallow or the deep
Said, the shallow or the deep
 
And if you're free this evening
We'll go out together
And party 'till we sleep
I said, party 'till we sleep
 
And I belong on the shore
Hustlin' nickels and dimes
'Cause it ain't long before it's gone
You might as well have a good time
 
I belong on the shore
Hustlin' nickels and dimes
'Cause it ain't long before it's gone
You might as well have a good time
You might as well have a good time
 
[Ending (Piano)]

         Sting recorded a separate version of the song with a guitar, instead of piano, for his studio álbum 57th & 9th.

If I should close my eyes, that my soul can see

And there's a place at the table that you saved for me

So many thousand miles over land and sea

I hope to dare, that you hear my prayer

And somehow I'll be there

 

It's but a concrete floor where my head will lay

And though the walls of this prison are as cold as clay

But there's a shaft of light where I count my days

So don't despair of the empty chair

And somehow I'll be there

 

Some days I'm strong, some days I'm weak

And days I'm so broken I can barely speak

There’s a place in my head where my thoughts still roam

Where somehow I've come home

 

And when the Winter comes and the trees lie bare

And you just stare out the window in the darkness there

Well I was always late for every meal you'll swear

But keep my place and the empty chair

And somehow I'll be there

And somehow I'll be there.

Quando o primeiro raio de sol bater na janela

Vou sair a procura da rosa amarela

Aquela que vai nascer atrás da colina

Para oferecer pra você, menina

 

Não deixe a rotina mudar seu sorriso

Que eu quero e preciso pra continuar

Não durma tão cedo, espere eu chegar

Hoje a noite é nossa

 

Menina, hoje a lua tá cheia do seu sorriso

Hoje a lua tá cheia da sua canção

Nada que eu diga ou que eu faça me tira você da cabeça

Seu sorriso é mel pro meu coração.

JIM CROCE

SONGWRITER: JIM CROCE

ALBUM: YOU DON’T MESS AROUND WITH JIM

LABEL: ABC RECORDS

GENRE: COUNTRY

YEAR: 1973

 

            James Joseph Croce (/ˈkroʊtʃi/; January 10, 1943 – September 20, 1973) was an American folk and rock singer-songwriter. Between 1966 and 1973, Croce released five studio albums and numerous singles. During this period, Croce took a series of odd jobs to pay bills while he continued to write, record, and perform concerts. After forming a partnership with songwriter and guitarist Maury Muehleisen his fortunes turned in the early 1970s. His breakthrough came in 1972; his third álbum You Don't Mess Around with Jim produced three charting singles, including "Time in a Bottle", which reached No. 1 after his death. The follow-up album, Life and Times, contained the song "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown", which was the only No. 1 hit he had during his lifetime.

              On September 20, 1973, the day before the lead single to his fifth album, I Got a Name, was released, Croce, (along with five others), was killed in a plane crash, at the height of his popularity. Croce's music continued to chart throughout the 1970s following his death. His wife, Ingrid Croce, was his early songwriting partner and she continued to write and record after his death, and his son A. J. Croce himself became a singer-songwriter in the 1990s.

        "Time in a Bottle" is a hit single by singer-songwriter Jim Croce. Croce wrote the lyrics after his wife Ingrid told him she was pregnant, in December 1970. It appeared on his 1972 ABC debut album You Don't Mess Around with Jim and was featured in the 1973 ABC made-for-television movie "She Lives!". ABC originally did not intend to release the song as a single; but when Croce was killed in a plane crash in September 1973, its lyrics, dealing with mortality and the wish to have more time, had additional resonance. The song subsequently received a large amount of airplay as an album track and demand for a single release built. When it was eventually issued as a 7", it became his second and final No. 1 hit. After the single had finished its two-week run at the top in early January 1974, the album You Don't Mess Around with Jim became No. 1 for five weeks. In 1977, "Time in a Bottle" was used as the title for a compilation album of Croce's love songs.

If I could save time in a bottle

The first thing that I'd like to do

It's to save everyday till eternity passes away

Just to spend them with you

 

If I could make days last forever

If words could make wishes come true

I'd save everyday like a treasure and then

Again I would spend them with you

 

But there never seems to be enough time

To do the things you wanna do

Once you find them

I looked around enough to know

That you're the one I wanna go through time with

 

If I had a box just for wishes

And dreams that had never come true

The box would be empty except for the memory of how

They were answered by you

 

But there never seems to be enough time

To do the things you wanna do

Once you find them

I looked around enough to know

That you're the one I wanna go through time with.
