Crosby Nash - Carry Me

From the album Wind on the Water (1975) Written by David Crosby

[@SusieVKaufman]

You wrote some of the most beautiful pieces, dearest Croz... you'll always be missed, and I'm grateful for the Wind on the Water tour.

[@sandyallen5743]

I've loved this group since I was like, 15ish. Heard this song for first time tonight. Bawling like a baby, remembering how being a hippie was a beautiful thing. I'm 72.

[@martygriffith2801]

me too, a hippie dude, 65, bought this beautiful album as soon as it came out.

[@roberthurley6860]

We are of the same age....this song touched my very 16 year old soul as my mom had just died when it was first released.

[@sundancer6694]

Let your freak flag fly!!

[@tamaralunt5039]

@61 this Sunday coming ...being a hippie is still a beautiful thing xox blessings to you. This song makes my heart cry. Sometimes I JUST gotta listen to it ♥️

[@Neilsmu]

68… David’s music has been such a soulful part of my entire life

[@evansrt]

Best-laid plans - I have two younger brothers. Early April of 2020 our mother died peacefully in her sleep at 99 years old. I always knew i'd be in charge of funeral plans and forever knew I'd be playing Carry Me during her service. Well Covid-19 meant no service and only my brothers and me at the grave site for her burial. No Carry Me was a bitter disappointment but beyond my control. When back to normal, whenever that is, we'll have a celebration of life with all the kids and grand kids and you bet I'll finally get to play the song.

[@MrCretemaniam]

That is a very touching story. You're lucky your mom lives so long. Your heart is in the right place. Carry on .

[@evansrt]

@@MrCretemaniam Thanks for the kind words. It's been almost 6 months and still miss her and can't believe she is gone. Like you said - Carry On!!

[@kingfishblues59]

The next covid free Thanksgiving, it'll be even sweeter.

[@cutator]

All this COVID Bull** really ticks me off. My Father lost his battle with Alzheimer's. There was nothing keeping our family from having his funeral and all of us being present. My mother and sister took him home to die just a few weeks prior to his passing. Their was not a thing the state could do about it. My mother is a force not to be messed with. Our family gathered for a service graveside. Outdoors, socially distanced and masks, all be it nobody really cared about all that, but none the less. my mothers wishes were met without exception...... You only Die Once!

[@cydnevacio5990]

Rest in Paradise, Mr. Crosby, and we can never repay your creating these anthems for our young lives. You made all the difference.

[@ktownc936]

Sad to hear he passed away CSNY was everything to me in high school 2006. Got me really in music and guitar. Shed a tear today for the greatest harmonic group of all time. RIP David

[@marcotrujillo7364]

I just found this song, wow What a gem. RIP Mr Crosby We,ll surely miss you. Cheers from Spain

[@JeanDowdle]

A light has gone out in this world (: Your wings are now untied...

[@StudioGREGORIO]

Rest in Peace David Crosby. I graduated from high school in 1975. The music was magic like this.

[@jacobwright510]

I graduated the same year... you are quite correct!!

[@tracyperry8842]

I am that young girl watching them play. I was with my ex husband since I was 16. We shared a life together. Raised 4 great kids. Music, especially this music was a part of our life. Listening, playing,attending shows. Got me through some tough times and made some wonderful memories. Thank you RIP David.

[@pamnichols7877]

Ok,,,, it's been 5 years since my mother flew to Heaven,,,,, born in '41, she was absolutely the best! I don't really know how to explain how I would like to turn back the time to the summers of the 1970''s, when life was so innocent and pure.... Love was everywhere, the entire world seemed so safe and fun..... You are above the World! You are totally watching over my broken soul,,,, and I feel you everyday..... your last bell rang and you knew you were going home!!! God knows, I love you more each day that I breathe, and know you are right beside me every stumble I come upon.... There will never be anyone who comes close to being as wonderful as you mama....thank God, you were mine.

[@savvyside]

I am very sorry for your loss.

[@philliphutson7250]

Carry Me, sweet Mother. She'd be singing'. Stand up and sing. Carry Me.

[@homecookinmusicAZ]

Not many songs bring to tears. This is one of them. Beautiful chord progression. Beautiful lyrics. Beautiful harmonies.

[@luxurylinr56]

I believe this recording best captured the true essence of Crosby's thoughts, memories when putting this together. What a voice, with the harmonies of close friends and the wonderful guitars and supporting instruments. Makes me cry, most of the time I hear is, but that's ok, because it brings back some of those precious life memories that us older folks can relate to: Childhood, first loves and the loss of one's mother or any loved one. These are heavy topics and to have them all in one song, is a lot to digest for some of us more sensitive men folk.

[@martygriffith2801]

I'm with you brother all the way!

[@johanstaelens5194]

Miss You Croz. End of an era....

[@dianewhite9173]

It's so hard ,to get through this song without tears rolling down your face.

[@Lim27K]

+Diane White Oh- you are soo right...

[@jimsmith4365]

[@DaveGordon61]

RIP Croz - we will miss you more than words can tell. "But I'm not, I'm not giving in an inch to fear 'Cause I've promised myself this year"

[@douglayton3498]

I think Crosby actually had the best vocals In CSNY. This tune really shows just how good he is.

[@pamelasiner3862]

I agreeI he is my favorite.

[@reginaandersson6636]

I agree!

[@gerrydooley951]

without a doubt. I was in college when this album came out, we played the heck out of it. Went to see them in Berkeley when it came out, great show

[@loubricano7444]

Agreed about best vocals, but he wasn't the best writer among them. That would be Nash.

[@saculsheet]

He's also a lot of fun.

[@davidgargiulo7964]

The ideas these guys come up with. Even in the dynamics of a song. Just shows how smart and imaginative these people are.

[@rtward9]

this album came out my freshman year in high school, my older brother brought it home and I still remember hearing this for the first time, beautiful then, beautiful still.

[@naomishbowls]

And today I went on blood thinners; I've just aged 10 years. RIP you brilliant singer/songwriter. You will be missed.

[@wvgrrrrl]

RIP David Crosby. Came here to hear this when I heard the news.

[@naomishbowls]

You and me both.

[@kennethbiebighauser7984]

David Crosby..a ..SURVIVOR!!! .....like myself....

[@luigistudioso2368]

Raffinatezza e grande sensibilita' melodica contraddistingue questo duo storico. Grande passionalita' espressiva. Questo fra i vari, tutti di alta levatura e' senz'altro critica a parte uno dei punti più alti della loro carriera. Mi hanno accompagnato e li ho seguiti fin da ragazzo a tutt'ora nella presentazione di queste note scritte. Hanno assieme a S. Stills segnato un'epoca.

[@ronwarren4196]

I was at a nursing home this afternoon visiting my mother. This song was running though my mind. The 3rd verse describes it perfectly. I so wish I could reach under the bed and untie her wings.

[@IKEVIN88]

From "Wind on the Water". One of my top 5 all time favorite albums. To think....they wrote this while sailing around the Cape on Crosby's boat "Wind on the Water". One of the most heartfelt and composed albums of all time!

[@jeffsmart110]

totally agree!

[@gregorybrose5881]

I thought the boat was named Mayan.

[@pamnichols3511]

Good God I am crying..... every time I hear this song,,, I just cry

[@TheSaintjohnguitar]

+Pam Nichols I do too..tears of joy and release...sadness for the loss of love in the world..

[@timmaloney6739]

It's cool babe...great song with great lyrics...the message is beautiful..

[@edharker3980]

Ditto.

[@JerecDarkheart]

They don't write beautiful pieces like this anymore! Thank you for the upload!

[@ArcosConsultores]

Rest in peace legend

[@MrCretemaniam]

I have been into these guys music from the start. I find it sad nobody wants anything to do with David Crosby anymore . Even Graham who is the most loving guy in the world. They were once so tight as brothers and now don't even speak . Last I heard. Maybe that has changed I hope. Anyways.. I love the hell out of all the guys. David Graham Stephen and yes Neil Young too. Time is running out guys.... Please get together when you can and give us some more of your god-given music !

[@Karmalaa66]

How many times can I like this?????

[@MBFamilyFoodsPensacola]

Rest in peace, brother.

[@dsimms561]

This song got me through the loss of my mother.

[@jonball49]

+Don Simms I just heard Crosby sing this two nights ago (03/07/16) in California. I bought the album in 1975 and I remembered the song, but for some reason when my own mother died in 1992, I had forgotten it. Hearing it the other night really brought back some bittersweet memories.

[@048LIB]

Trying to get through this right now.

[@mynameisnobody9689]

Lost my mom in 79 I understand the pain

[@rev.tedtollefson512]

Rest in Peace Croz and Rise in Music!

[@rogerkirkendoll1105]

Always think of mom when I play this! Miss her , gone 6 years now and left a lot of broken hearts !!!

[@marco-antoniotrujillo6944]

The 3r verse is absolutely magnificent. So sad and beautiful at the same time. David Crosby confessed it were his mother's actual words in her deathbead. Powerful stuff. Heard this Magnum Opus for the first time 1 week ago, and now is in my top ten 10 Greatest songs ever. Cheers from Spain!

[@andrewperry3145]

When I first heard the song it made me sad.i love their songs.

Thanks Croz.

followed him with the Byrds & Buffalo Springfield. As always, Neil Young broke them up over a lukewarm song. Nowdays Clancy.... became a Carpenters hit. They rocked at Woodstock, we didn't know they were on the agenda.
