Song of The Day : Neil Young (Graham Nash backing vocals) Demo | Rhino

 




This demo for "Birds" by Neil Young featuring Graham Nash was originally recorded during the sessions for Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young's seminal album Deja Vu. The deluxe version of Deja Vu, featuring hours of outtakes, alternate versions, and demos, is available to now at https://Rhino.lnk.to/DejaVu50ID. Presented in a 12 x 12 book, the collection comes illustrated with rarely seen photos from the era and annotated by writer/filmmaker Cameron Crowe, whose revealing liner notes recount the making of the album through stories told by the people who were there, including David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, and Neil Young


Lover,
there will be another one
Who'll hover
over you beneath the sun
Tomorrow
see the things
that never come
Today
When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over.
Nestled
in your wings my little one
is special
Morning brings another sun
Tomorrow
see the things
that never come
Today
When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go 

It's over, it's over.
