Just a Song Before I Go - Crosby Stills and Nash

This song was number 47 in the Top 100 of 1977. A prime example of slow rock from the 70s with their unparalleled harmony work. It's kind of a defining characteristic of my musical aesthetics that I came of (first) age during this time of a lot of ambivalent, melancholy, relationship-song, rock with country and folk influences.  Rock history documentaries tend to talk about the 70s as a time of recovery from the 60s.  There was a lot of disillusionment and people trying to get their lives straight from all the drugs and chaos.
