With “Carry On”, you get two songs in one. Because it’s the love child of two unfinished tracks that Stephen Stills fused together as CSN&Y searched for the right opening song to Deja Vu. The 2:10 mark comes at you out of nowhere, but has a live, jam band feel. It sounds more like a Part 2 than a transition. Whether you agree with their strategy or not, you can’t deny “Carry On” made for quite a potent entrance on an album known more for slow tempo classics. And the classic CSN&Y harmonies are epic on this one.

“The sky is clearing and the night has gone out. The sun, he come, the world is all full of love. Rejoice, rejoice, we have no choice but to carry on.”
