Buffalo Springfield was a folk rock band which formed in 1966 in Los Angeles, California, United States. The band split in 1968 and reformed briefly in 2010. On February 27, 2012, founder member Richie Furay announced that the band was on indefinite hiatus.

Palmer left the band in 1968 and was replaced by Jim Messina. Read Full BioBuffalo Springfield was a folk rock band which formed in 1966 in Los Angeles, California, United States.

Palmer left the band in 1968 and was replaced by Jim Messina. The band's only Top 40 single, "For What It's Worth", was released in 1967. The band split in 1968. Despite lasting for under 25 months, the band was massively influential on many later folk rock and country rock artists and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997.
The band only released three albums in its short life, "Buffalo Springfield" (1966), "Buffalo Springfield Again" (1967) and "Last Time Around" (1968). "For What It's Worth", which peaked at #7 in early 1967, was the band's only Top 40 single in the United States. 1967's "Rock 'n' Roll Woman" came the closest to giving the band a second Top 40 entry, peaking at #44.
Stills and Young would go on to perform with David Crosby and Graham Nash in the hugely popular rock act Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young shortly after Buffalo Springfield's demise. Furay and Messina went on to found country-rock group Poco, before Furay embarked on his own solo career. After Messina left Poco, he formed Loggins and Messina with singer/songwriter Kenny Loggins.
On October 23 and 24, 2010, Young, Furay and Stills, along with drummer Joe Vitale and Rick Rosas (replacing the deceased Dewey Martin and Bruce Palmer, respectively) reunited for two performances for the Bridge Schools Benefit concert in Mountain View, California.
The band played six concerts starting in Oakland, CA, on June 1, 2011, followed by dates in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, before moving on to play the 2011 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee. A proposed full tour in 2012 never took place. On February 27, 2012, founder member Furay announced that the band was on indefinite hiatus.

For What It's Worth
Buffalo Springfield Lyrics
There's somethin' happenin' here
But what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
A-tellin' me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
There's battle lines being drawn
And nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speakin' their minds
A-gettin' so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
What a field day for the heat (ooh-ooh-ooh)
A thousand people in the street (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Singin' songs and a-carryin' signs (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Mostly say "Hooray for our side" (ooh-ooh-ooh)
It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line
The man come and take you away
We better stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down (we better)
Stop, now, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down (we better)
Stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

ここで何かが起こっています
明確ではないこと
あそこに銃を持った男がいる
気をつけてね
私たちはやめる時だと思う、子供たち、その音は何ですか
誰もが何が起こっているのか見て
戦線が描かれている
誰もが間違っていれば誰も正しくない
心を話す若者
後ろからそんなに抵抗する
それはやめる時だ、ねえ、その音は何ですか
誰もが何が起こっているのか見て
暑さのためのなんてフィールドデー
通りの千人
歌を歌ってサインを運ぶ
私たちの味方だ
そろそろやめて、あの音は何ですか
誰もが何が起こっているのか見て
パラノイアが深く襲う
あなたの人生に忍び寄る
あなたがいつも恐れているときに始まります
あなたは列から出て、男が来てあなたを連れ去ります
やめて、あの音は何ですか
誰もが何が起こっているのか見て
やめて、あの音は何ですか
誰もが何が起こっているのか見て
やめて、今、その音は何ですか
誰もが何が起こっているのか見て
やめて、子供たち、その音は何ですか
誰もが何が起こっているのか見て
