“Helplessly Hoping” is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. If you read the lyrics in their entirety, they sound like poetry. The debut album by Crosby, Stills, and Nash, of which “Helplessly Hoping” is a part, is an amazing album, rich with their beautiful harmonies.
Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit he runs
Wishing he could fly
Only to trip at the sound of goodbye
songwriter: Stephen Stills
The first video is a live version. The second focuses on the vocals and that amazing delivery of CS&N.
I adore that song.
😊
Even after all of these years it sounds fresh. 🙂
Somehow I went through life and never heard it until March 7, 1993.
I love when new/old songs pop up and you wonder how it was you never heard it. I had that revelation about a Tom Petty song from the early 2000s.
Which Tom Petty song?
Square One. Just beautiful! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8P5kAIs6K8E

Me too. So much excellent music and I can never say enough about their harmonies.
listen: Stills&Young Band – Long may you run. another wonderful job of them.
