Overall Meaning

The song "Talk" by Crosby Nash & Young is a rap-style track that features lyrics from artist Young B Black. The song is essentially an anthem to living large and enjoying the fruits of one's labor. The lyrics talk about living extravagantly, with big bottles and big money, and feeling blessed and grateful for the good times. The chorus repeats the phrase "this how we live" several times, reinforcing the idea that the lifestyle being described is the norm for the artist.


One interesting aspect of the lyrics is that they feature a mix of slang and more traditional English. For example, the phrase "big crip got blue strips" refers to a gang affiliation and is very specific slang, while the phrase "I do shit I do shit" is simply a repetition of a common phrase. This mix of language and style speaks to the blending of cultures and influences that often takes place in the music industry.


Another notable aspect of the song is its focus on gratitude and appreciation. Despite the flashy lifestyle being described, the artist takes time to acknowledge his blessings and thank God for his good fortune. This positivity and humility is somewhat rare in modern rap music, which often focuses on materialism and braggadocio.

We lived in the era of the greatest music ever.

Charlie West

@radar0412 : It's was evolutionary. The mid to late 50s were crucial, a definitive, landmark, period which was germane to what followed. The 60s morphed out of this into the 70s. Personally, by the end of the 70s, I stopped listening to most contemporary stuff. It was a case of: "I've heard the best, don't need to listen to the rest."

@Christopher Ressler Christopher, make time for the music. It will keep you going. Love from Ireland ☘

Jane Friel

Thank goodness.

Barbra

Amen to that, so lucky we were, Im not a fan of today's pop sound or rap it can't hold a candle to the 60s and early 70s.

Viti Robins

Am I Being Detained

26 years old and after watching this documentary and seeing how tied in they were with musicians I had no idea they were, I have to say they may actually be the greatest bands of all time. I thank my mom for bringing this band into my life. I first heard just blue eyes as a kid and hated it!! How, I don’t know. But then I heard guenivere and long time gone and everything changed. Ever since they have been an integral part of my life.
Thanks for the upload, and thanks to the four that made the music happen. Love this comment section.

Real musicians. Rare today, mostly just performers now. Heard a kid say he didn’t like songs with real instruments. Broke my heart. Glad I got to experience the most prolific time ever in live music.

NorthernMonkey

@David Kroll mainstream yes, it’s become awful, I don’t think there’s a mainstream artist now who could actually sing in tune with perfect pitch in a live performance.

David Kroll

There is no more "real" music with actual musicians just playing actual instruments. That's a thing of the past, unfortunately. That's why I pretty much live in the past, cause most of the stuff coming out now is just crap. Hate to say it, but it's true.
