I generally gravitate to the music first before the lyrics. But as a writer, I still marvel at well-spun verses and choruses. This month, I’m joining the music Twitter community in #SeptSongLyricChallenge
Day 4
The harmonies of Crosby, Stills & Nash are some of the most earthly exhilarations I’ve ever experienced as music fan. I discovered Deja Vu first – and then made my way to the debut album much later. The “doo doo doo doo doo” refrain toward the end of the song is one of the most iconic elements in classic rock. But it’s the sprawling verses that have always grabbed me the hardest. They seem almost too personal for me to hear, as if I just interrupted a lovers’ quarrel.
“Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now. I am not dreaming. I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are. You make it hard.”
