There's a woman that you ought to know
And she's coming, singing soft and low
Singing rock and roll, she's a joy to know
'Neath the shadow of a soothing hand
I am free there, just to make my plans
Dream of faraway lands, anything close at hand
And she will follow me why, do you know
Familiar places she's been by, that I know
Could it be, she don't have to try
And tomorrow, she's a friend of mine
And the sorrow, I see her face is lined
She's no longer blind, she's just hard to find
And she's coming, singing soft and low
Singing rock and roll, she's a joy to know
'Neath the shadow of a soothing hand
I am free there, just to make my plans
Dream of faraway lands, anything close at hand
And she will follow me why, do you know
Familiar places she's been by, that I know
Could it be, she don't have to try
And tomorrow, she's a friend of mine
And the sorrow, I see her face is lined
She's no longer blind, she's just hard to find

Saw Richie Furay this past Saturday (1/30/21) on Huckabee's weekly show... Still rockin... rock hard!
The coolest band of the Hippie Years..High musicianship and feel, and I use the term 'high' with a ulterior meaning. This music is timeless and influential.

They played at the first concert I ever attended - Beach Boys 1967 fall Thanksgiving package tour. I'm told that the tour sometimes played 2 cities in one day - they carried two stage set ups and trucked one ahead - traveling by bus between cities. Pickle Brothers hippie comedy duo opened - followed by the Soul Survivors, The Strawberry Alarm Clock, the Buffalo Springfield, and the Beach Boys. I already knew one song by each group except for the Beach Boys - probably knew 10 of their songs.
Saw that show. BS ended their set with "Bluebird" or as Neil Young said, "Bluebird,one note for a very long time." At the end of the song they each laid their guitars on
the amps leaving the auditorium screaming with feedback...

Check out the song Buffalo Springfield Again from Neil's 2000 release Silver and Gold.
So much talent in one group.
It's no wonder they couldn't hold it together very long.
I just read Neil Young's latest book "Super Deluxe" about the cars he's owned.
What a character he is.
He wrote about his time with Buffalo Springfield and wished he handled himself better with the group back then.
Oh for the wisdom and experience of the old.

So I'm randomly watching this Bollywood clip with the sound down while this song is on and it's...surreal.

Ah...
The first "country rock group". Sorry Byrds and Buck Owens.

Love it - but a little strange that you played Stephen Stills a little over an hour ago.

Whoa, I am in envy. Strawberry Alarm Clock, one hit wonder, but great song.
The guitarist for Strawberry Alarm Clock, Ed King, lives near me and I see him from time to time on the music scene (he occasionally works at a studio owned by a mutual friend). He's had some health problems recently but seems to be on the mend. Nice guy.
He's writing a book on his life in rock, I'm looking forward to that.

Such a great rocking, soaring jammer with spectacular vocals and killer rhythms that stands the test of Time! So good to hear it on RP!
'Summer of Love' awesomeness right here.
I think we really should appreciate the sound engineering and production that went into this way back in the day...truly enchanting, still!
A Supergroup before they even knew it. The talent that emerged from this band is astounding.

I love how the fires blaze so brightly within! The jangly, buzzy, distorted guitars, the layered harmonies, the Peace and Love Vibes. No coincidence that Jefferson Airplane members and these guys hung out together and sounded a lot alike then (i.e. Saturday Afternoon).
So I'm randomly watching this Bollywood clip with the sound down while this song is on and it's...surreal.
When the drums hold their breath and the guitars and organ and voices all kick in — WOW — music that really makes you feel alive!

Now...use your imagination or past experience to visualize this moment. It's freakin beautiful!

Parking fine........like maybe really hard on his wallet....ha ha.
For many years I thought Stills was singing that "She's a parking fine."
I wondered what psychadelic meaning that had....
Much more creative than "hard to find!"

Could be. It would be more in character to be about Judy Collins, for whom Stills wrote "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" a couple of years later. Or it could be about any groupie he and David Crosby (uncredited co-writer) were chasing at the time.
