He was and still is one of my Idols in my progressing music. I want to write a tribute to him, to have a simple bosom thought of him, David Crosby, a great human and musician. We discover him in the early seventies when finally Woodstock, the movie, had got its allowance to shine on the screen in cinemas of Iran. Those days, he and the other three camerades: Graham Nash, Steven Still and Neil Young, were together and represented the soundtrack for this movie.
It is good to be born at the right time in the right place, and he was one of these lucky ones. David (Van Cortlandt) Crosby was a special one for me, not only because of his famous moustache but also because I love his soft and gentle voice. We got to know him among his mates, but I know much more about him now as I live in a (somehow) free part of the world.
Their world was a world for the people who looked after freedom and how it fitted the world of our dreams. Those days, it was just like a dream for us to reach this still fascinating space of freedom: Love and Peace. And he gave us the feeling to make a dream, at least. Thank you, David Crosby, for this present.
And as I was fighting to keep my hair long as possible and tried to convince my mother to accept it (in a discussion, she gave me the right, I was stunned!) I understood that we, in Iran, are not too far away from our mates in the US. The bad luck was that we were too few!!
In any case, it was a good time for us. There was no talk about how and what; it was only about when! We, the youths, wanted to be free to show our feelings, nothing about political change or something similar. We only wanted our right to offer our freedom to have free choice! But we were damn too few! However, I thank him for being there; I have learned much from his openness towards life. And as I keep my music style, I will try to be faithful towards our Deja Vu!
I don’t think of any conflict! The arts, I believe, belong to our abilities to understand the universe. We have something “plus” if we have ever deserved it. We might try, and we might win the point; who knows!
Now let the ghost speaks. The other side is nothing more than to look at what you have done in that before!
One, two, three
I’m standing on the porch.
Like it’s the edge of a cliff
Beyond the grass and gravel lies a certain abyss
And I don’t think I will try it today
I’m facing a squall line of a thousand-year storm
I don’t know if I’m dying or about to be born
But I’d like to be with you today
Yes, I’d like to be with you today
And I won’t stay for long
I’ve got a place of my own
A little slice
There’s a sliver of air between the water and the ice
It’s where I live, where I breathe
An abandoned song
It echoes through this well I’ve fallen in
If I could just remember the smell of your skin
Then I could live, I could breathe
I could breathe
I’m asking perfect strangers if I look to be alright
I feel like I lost an anchor in the ocean of my night
And I don’t want you to see me this way
I won’t tell a soul
I’ll only worship the sun
I won’t turn around to find you when the moment is done
I just need to be close today
I need to be with you today
And I won’t stay for long
I’ve got a place of my own
A little slice
There’s a sliver of air between the water and the ice
It’s where I live, where I breathe
An abandoned song
It echoes through this well I’ve fallen in
If I could just hold onto the smell of your skin
I could live, I could breathe
I could breathe
The artists never die; they did something to stay alive; their creations.

Thank you, my friends. Let’s think higher of this earth a little. I believe we can find much more answers to our questions. I think we deserve it! 😉🤗💖🙏

Hi Aladin, it was such sad news to hear that David has passed recently. I’ll keep an eye out for the documentary film as it looks interesting. I loved his reply when offered a happy home life instead of music, he flats says no. Music was obviously the love of his life. Hope you’re having a lovely weekend. Love and light, Deborah.

That is our time, my dear angel. Although we were so far from each other, we have got the same point: peace, love, and love. 🤗💖😘🙏

A wonderful tribute, Alaedin. I know all his music. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young are icons.
Yes, freedom. Lucky to be born in Canada, I have been able to keep my sense of freedom, especially through the arts.
Politics seem to be closing in, and I sense a new world coming.
Nonetheless, in my life’s world, freedom reigned.
Make Art Not War.

Oh my dear Resa, can you hear how softly and early it sounds in everyone’s ears? It is for sure some privilege that many have not had the chance to reach out. Although, as you say, it’s a sign of peace no war! that’s a wonderful time. 😊 🙏❤️🤗
