836 – Crosby, Stills and Nash – Suite: Judy blue eyes (1969)

Escrita por Stephen Still e David Crosby, foi lançada em setembro de 1969 no compacto que tinha Long time gone como Lado B. Chegou ao número 21 dos charts pop americanos e número 11 no Canadá. É uma Suite no sentido clássico: Um ordenado de peças musicais juntas. Foi usado o Suite para parecer com Sweet.

A música é dedicada à namorada de Stills Judy Collins e fala dos pensamentos sobre ela e do eminente rompimento do casal. Eles haviam começado o relacionamento em 1967 e já estavam juntos há 2 anos, mas ela havia conhecido Stacy Keach e deixaria Stills por ele. Ele estava devastado e escreveu a canção em resposta a própria tristeza.

Suite: Judy Blues Eyes é a música de número 418 da lista das 500 maiores canções de todos os tempos da Rolling Stone Magazine. É uma das 500 canções que deram forma ao rock and roll, do Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. VH1 disse que ela é a 51a melhor canção já escrita de todos os tempos.

David Crosby fez backing vocals, Stephen Still cantou, tocou violão, baixo, teclado e percussão. Graham Nash fez backing vocals.

A letra:

It's getting to the point where I'm no fun anymore
I am sorry
Sometimes it hurts so badly I must cry out loud
I am lonely

I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it hard

Remember what we've said and done and felt about each other
Oh, babe have mercy
Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now
I am not dreaming

I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it hard[Instrumental (Acoustic Guitar)]

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Tearing yourself away from me now you are free
And I am crying
This does not mean I don't love you I do that's forever
Yes and for always

I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it hard

Something inside is telling me that I've got your secret
Are you still listening?
Fear is the lock and laughter the key to your heart
And I love you

I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it hard
And you make it hard
And you make it hard
And you make it hard[Instrumental (Acoustic Guitar)]

Friday evening
Sunday in the afternoon
What have you got to lose?

Tuesday morning
Please be gone I'm tired of you
What have you got to lose?

Can I tell it like it is? (Help me I'm sufferin')
Listen to me baby
It's my heart that's a sufferin' it's a dyin' (Help me I'm dyin')
And that's what I have to lose (To lose)

I've got an answer
I'm going to fly away
What have I got to lose?

Will you come see me
Thursdays and Saturdays?
What have you got to lose?[Instrumental (Acoustic Guitar)]

Chestnut brown canary
Ruby throated sparrow
Sing a song, don't be long
Thrill me to the marrow[Instrumental (Acoustic Guitar)]

Voices of the angels
Ring around the moonlight
Asking me said she so free
How can you catch the sparrow?[Instrumental (Acoustic Guitar)]

Lacy lilting lyric
Losing love lamenting
Change my life, make it right
Be my lady[Instrumental (Acoustic Guitar)]

Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

Que linda me la traiga Cuba
La reina de la Mar Caribe
Cielo sol no tiene sangreahi
Y que triste que no puedo vaya oh va, oh va

Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
