Buffalo Springfield - Expecting to Fly | REACTION

[@suzedeque]

I'm that old, too, and this song still makes me cry every time. Buffalo Springfield was amazing, and their music lives on.

[@chompachangas]

Me too. Every time, it makes me weep. I think about a girl I used to know. Okay, gonna go crawl into a ball for a few minutes. I'll be fine lol.

[@suzedeque]

I hear that! Makes me remember my first heartbreak. As the song goes, the first cut is the deepest @@chompachangas

[@mattjohn4731]

​@@suzedequeAh early Cat Stevens classic. His first single was called I Love My Dog 🐶 and I think it has violin 🎻

[@SylviaCovington-g1i]

I saw Buffalo Springfield in concert. Yeah... I'm that old. Thanks for the reaction.

[@mattjohn4731]

That is awesome! Was it in California?

[@brettv5967]

Neil was about 21 or 22 years old when this song was done. Very good stuff very early from him. Mr. Soul was on the same album and is really great.

[@harleyw]

Haven't heard this in 40 years... ❤

[@charlesdavis7461]

For What's It's Worth, I recall the Buffalo Springfield very well.

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Boring and overplayed...try Leave

[@peters7025]

About this time Neil was diagnosed with epilepsy so maybe the second verse refers to this also. Certainly his song Flying on the Ground is Wrong was about that. The signs of Neils imminent split from the band are there on this album with him pretty much doing his songs on his own.

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Nope that was way later little girl

[@hendrixnut64]

My favorite Springfield song... classic Neil Young

[@dagmar.6954]

This folk rock band was formed in 66-68. It included Stephen Stills & Neil Young. "For What It's Worth" was their biggest hit & is considered a protest song. The group disbanded in 1968. Stephen Stills went on to form the supergroup Crosby, Stills & Nash with David Crosby of the Byrds and Graham Nash of The Hollies. Neil Young launched his solo career and later joined Stills in Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young in 1969.

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

It's country Rock

[@klipkultur3680]

It's Buffalo but mostly Neil Young.

[@olivervandebeer7492]

Maybe the girl was tripping (LSD).. It's a beautiful song.

[@charliecochran3035]

The concept of flying was a common metaphor for Neil, always in the context of dealing with a breakup. The only problem with this song is that it's too damn short. Second the recommendation for Mr Soul. It's a rocker with some killer guitars, and mysterious lyrics that his fans can debate. It contains some references to his condition (epilepsy) and also aims some sarcasm at fans who thought he was weird.

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Nope long version of Bluebird

[@thomaswest7746]

Steven Stills form Crosby,Stills,Nash, & Young all I believe came after Buffalo Springfield.

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Duh yeah....

[@gizmo5925]

Listen to "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield. It was relevant then, and it's relevant today.

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Stop need their lesser known BLUEBIRD much better

[@gizmo5925]

Another influential folk-rock band from this time was Fairport Convention. Try listening to "Who Knows Where the Time Goes."

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Nope this is COUNTRY ROCK...should do Uno Mundo or BlueBird

[@glenndespres5317]

This song in some ways summed up the optimism “we can change the world” vibe of the late 60s after things didn’t work out all that well.

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Its a breakup song

[@erickjason9092]

02:50 You look like Biden at the debate last week. LMFAO!

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Finally a decent Neil Young song but should do Neils Down By The River.....stop the Wimp acoustic...NOT FOLK ROCK ....ITS COUNTRY ROCK big difference

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

This is not FOLK ROCK ITS COUNTRYROCK...

[@36karpatoruski]

Lol. It’s folk rock/ light psych. No trucks, beer, whisky, nasally vocals, slide guitar, muh daddy, etc.

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

No nothing to do with the year

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Nothing to do with flying

[@Mockmehard]

DO “GET OFF” by “FOXY”. PLEASE AND THANKS!!

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Nope
