Crosby, Stills & Nash - Helplessly Hoping (With Lyrics)

When you are 21 years old and this is your favorite song....... then you see it was made 50 years ago, and it makes you realize some things are truly timeless.

If this song does not mean something to you now or has not meant something to you in the past... Someday it will

It only takes three voices and one guitar to create a masterpiece.

I was 12 when this masterpiece was sung for the first time, I was 24 when this masterpiece lead my "all time loved ones". I was 36 when I introduced this eternal tunes to my older son. I was 48 when cried for the first time listening to this beautiful song. I am 66 and still shed tears with this melody. In conclusion this is a timeless masterpiece with a whole parallel world inrerstellar.. ❤

One of their finest songs. The vocal harmonies are just beautiful. RIP, David Crosby. Thanks for the music and the memories.

In my humble opinion one of the best harmonized songs ever

So long, David Crosby. Thank you for sharing your music with the world.

I’m so glad I grew up listening to music like this

Those voices were created to sing together

This song still brings much of the pain inside of me to the surface. I furst heard it in 1971 after I finished Army service. I was in Korea in 1969, and in Vietnam in 1970. I had no girlfriend or wife to go back to. I braced myself every day to fight back against the powerful emptiness that roamed free within me. I never thought about giving up and quitting. Almost miraculously, it seemed one girl and then another vand another would enter my life, stay a while, and leave. I didn't know what was the matter with me. I'm now with my second wife, and we had our 18th ❤ anniversary yesterday. I had a decent career in the mechanical trades. We own a modest home in a comfortable neighborhood. We have enough money. Life turned out OK. Never give up. They say that 80% of success is found by just showing up, reporting for duty, as it were, each day. It was hard at times. But that beats the alternative, if giving up. Try to stay sober, live a clean life. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Show respect to everyone. Avoid toxic people. Do what you have to do to build a decent career. Most people have to put A good portion of their dreams on hold Until after they stop working. Don't expect self esteem to be handed to you. Expect to struggle for it. Make a good career, Earn the respect of your peers, Handle your money wisely, And you will get that self esteem.

The ultimate TRIPLE threat.. Harmony, music and lyrics of THREE unique voices blended divinely.... NO three men in history ever had this sound.. We were BLESSED to have lived in their time together...They made the angels so jealous - they grabbed Crosby from our midst..

played this at my daughter's funeral. it's not just about romantic love.

I was 13 when this album came out (vinyl, anyone?) and fell in love with this short song. Still love the harmony, alliteration and rhyme scheme in addition to the lyrics themselves. CSN fan 'til I die, I guess.

RIP Blue 1969-2014 : my soulmate and husband for 23 years held this song dear to our hearts and now it brings new tears of new meaning for me this evening.

Crazy how a 50 yr old song can make me cry and remember ❤️❤️🙏🙏

Shout out to my husband, who waited while I let go of being lost. We are for each other!

RIP David Crosby there will never be music like this again. Cherish the memories they left.

One gal comes to mind from decades ago. It's been 47 yrs but I still think of her listening to this. Hope where ever she is she has had a good life.

Nothing like listening to their music with earphones on like this song as well as Wooden Ships.

I grew up listening to this song, as it was one of my mom’s favorite songs on the album. As soon as I heard the guitar in Annihilation it took me back 30 years to my childhood. What a perfect song, what a brilliant movie.
