What’s your nomination for the best song of all time, and why? Here’s mine.
Graham Nash wrote this song for, and/or about, his good friend, David Crosby, who found himself wasting his life (both literally and figuratively) on his way to wherever he was headed. This could certainly apply to a lot of us, and Graham Nash puts the very thought-provoking message to a very catchy tune. Ironically enough, my nomination for the second best song of all time, is one also written by Graham Nash, Teach Your Children.
Wasted on the Way:
[Intro. (Acoustic Guitar and Electric Piano)]
Look around me
I can see my life before me
Running rings around the way it used to be
I am older now
I have more than what I wanted
But I wish that I had started long before I did
And there’s so much time to make up everywhere you turn
Time we have wasted on the way
So much water moving underneath the bridge
Let the water come and carry us away
[Instrumental (Fiddle)]
Oh, when you were young
Did you question all the answers
Did you envy all the dancers who had all the nerve
Look around you now
You must go for what you wanted
Look at all my friends who did and got what they deserved
So much time to make up everywhere you turn
Time we have wasted on the way
So much water moving underneath the bridge
Let the water come and carry us away
So much love to make up everywhere you turn
Love we have wasted on the way
So much water moving underneath the bridge
Let the water come and carry us away
Let the water come and carry us away
