All the Brave Soldiers ...

Daylight Again

Crosby, Stills & Nash

from their album Daylight Again

This 1982 Crosby, Stills & Nash song could just as well have been written and performed yesterday about events that happened the day before yesterday. It was actually the Civil War that was the song's inspiration. According to the CSN website:

The song "Daylight Again" evolved out of Stills' guitar-picking to accompany on-stage stories regarding the south in the Civil War, segueing into "Find the Cost of Freedom," which had been the b-side of the "Ohio" single in 1970.

Daylight Again would be an appropriate song for protesting any war. The words of the song, along with the beautiful CSN harmonies and guitar playing will give you goose bumps.

Daylight Again

Steven Stills

Daylight again

Following me to bed

I think about a hundred years ago

How my father's bled

I think I see a valley

Covered with bones in blue

All the brave soldiers that cannot get older

Been asking after you

Hear the past a' calling

From Armageddon's side
