The 2nd Saturday of January every year is “National Children’s Day” which has been officially announced since 1964 and Children’s Day was held the following year. Until now, 60 years have passed this year.
And because this manuscript will be published during this period. So I wanted to write a song about children whose content reflects the big picture. Not taught to be a good child But telling adults how to “teach” children how to grow up to be adults with good hearts.
“Teach Your Children” is a song by Crosby, Still & Nash on their 1970 album Déjà Vu, after Neil Young joined as a member.
Graham Nash wrote the song when he was a member of The Hollies in 1968, inspired by Diane R.’s famous photograph of Child with Toy Hand Grenade in Central Park. Bus, picture of a boy with a scruffy face In the mobile phone, a child’s toy bomb exploded. Encourage them to reflect on the message society sends to children about war and other violence.
Nash says he wrote the timeless country-rock song while he was still with The Hollies, when they played it for five nights at a nightclub in Leeds. Ollies is an English band) “And we were staying at a hotel nearby. I remember doing a little bit of drugs. But friends don’t. One night, I wrote half of ‘Lady of the Island’ and ‘Teach Your Children’. I think it’s something in a good direction. But I couldn’t finish it.”
And he finished the song after moving to America to work with David Crosby and Steven Stills, with Arbus as the final piece of the jigsaw. “I immediately realized that we had to start teaching our kids better or the world was in danger. So I went back and finished what I started in England.”
Stills was the first person to hear the song. and recommended that the way of playing should be changed Because what he had done sounded too archaic. Then pick up a guitar and play it to see what it should be like. What’s more, the pedal steel and guitar fingertips of The Grateful Dead’s Jerry Garcia complete the final version of “Teach Your Children.”
beautiful music The harmony of the voices is beautiful and mellow. with seriously intense content With a full pop touch The song quickly climbed the Billboard charts, before stopping at number 16 with their own single “Ohio” a month later.
“But we don’t regret it being like that.”
Because this song doesn’t need to rely on song rankings to gain popularity. and has become a song that has been listened to for generations until today “It’s such a beautiful song. But I also think it’s because of the valuable message in the song. That’s what I intended from the beginning. And now it has as much meaning as when I wrote it.” Listen to “Teach Your Children” here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQOaUnSmJr8
