@carolynking1625

When did Dave Crosby change his name to Stephen Stills? "For What It's Worth” was a Top 10 hit for Buffalo Springfield in 1966. Stephen Stills wrote the song in response to the November 1966 Sunset Strip curfew riots in Los Angeles."

This is by far the best protest song ever written in the history of rock and roll, originally written for the Sunset Strip curfew riots that were happening in Los Angeles in 1966, then used as a protest song against the Vietnam War!

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's something happening here
But what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
A-telling me, I got to beware

[Chorus]
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

[Verse 2]
There's battle lines being drawn
And nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Are gettin’ so much resistance from behind

[Chorus]
It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

[Verse 3]
What a field day for the heat (Ooo-ooo-ooo)
A thousand people in the street (Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Singing songs and a-carryin’ signs (Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Mostly say, "Hooray for our side" (Ooo-ooo-ooo)

[Chorus]
It's time we stopped
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

[Verse 4]
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the man come and take you away

[Chorus]
We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going
We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going
We better stop
Now, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going
We better stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

He asked me go with him to the Piggly Wiggly down the street to stock up on milk and bread because he assumed that riots would start in our city soon too. This song came on the radio on the way there. I don't think it was still part of the regular rotation then, so I assume it must've been specifically picked by a disc jockey. I'm 87 now and it feels more relevant than ever.

@stevenspicer4873

I think a typo slipped into your narrative. If you just turned 11 in the summer of '68 then you were born in the summer of 1957, so in the summer of 2022 you would be turning 65, not 87.

@cbbargo

Heard this song for years, and it's amazing how just today the actual lyrics jumped out at me and I was like wow, talk about something that is as relevant now as it ever was.

@Stalker_of_the_forest

you do know that the song is about Vietnam war protests right?

I was in elementary school and this was a hit song back in the Vietnam war days

@anonymous8177

There is no comment here that can even justify this song. Pure genius

@marisarhodes2446

"Tracks assumed to be Vietnam protests often weren’t, such as Buffalo Springfield’s eerie 1966 single “For What It’s Worth,” which was actually about anti-curfew riots by teens swarming the Sunset Strip."

@AnikIsGreat

This is the first song I’m learning on the guitar (because theres only two chords.) This is the beginning of another journey ✌️

@KevyNova

There’s a couple more chords in the chorus. I can teach you the whole song, including lead, if you want.

@mickey1875

@@do-m3126 the B in "beware" is clipped. Additionally the P in "people" at 1:24. Seems to be persistent in all recordings of the song. It's simply a mistake by the studio who mastered the audio.

@RioRock7

It was to get rid of that sound in the microphone, when you make those sounds, I don’t know why that’s the way they combatted that

@kjamison5951

@@RioRock7 it’s a low cost pop filter.

B and P sounds tend to create an initial ‘pop’ sound (like popping a bubble) when they are said or sung. If you ever seen someone speak into a microphone which has a black disk between the mic and the speaker, that’s the low-tech pop filter. It acts to break up the popping component but allows the remainder of the ‘buh’ or ‘puh’ sound to be picked up by the mic.

As has been stated, a sound engineer took the matter into his own hands and manually edited out as much of the ‘pop’ as possible but needed to take out a little too much.

The other night I was the only one on the road for miles it seemed, an eerie virtual ghost town, when this song came on the radio. It sent shivers through my very core. I never thought I would live to see America brought to its knees like this, everyone cowering at home in fear as liberty becomes an old fashioned notion. To my posterity; I am so sorry I did not act sooner.
