Sit down I think I love you
Anyway I’d like to try
I can’t stop thinking of you
If you go I’ll know I cry
Can’t you see that I’m a desperate man
I can hide, just being around
You want to know
What they say about the bird in my hand
And that’s why I ain’t leaving without you
So if you want someone to love you
Pretty babe I’m your guy
It’s not much I’m asking of you
Just please give me a try
All these comparisons-Buffalo Springfield is best not compared to anyone else. There never was and has been anything like them since. Despite CSNY and all the rest, the Springfield were so unique, so original, etc. it's best to just enjoy it. Only three LPs and look what we got. I'm 58 so I bought the actual records a little later than there original release date. Nobody did what they did.
One of my all-time favorites. I have had it on album, cassette, CD and now itunes. The guitar work up there with John Hartford's Gentle on My Mind, also in my top 5.
"For What It's Worth" was their biggest single. Maybe if they had stayed together, they would have had greater success. I have always preferred groups that harmonize well. You can add to your list the Hollies, Beach Boys, Spanky and Our Gang, the Association, Crosby, Stills, and Nash, and the Fifth Dimension.
