David Van Cortlandt Crosby (born August 14, 1941) is an American guitarist, singer, and songwriter. In addition to his solo career, he was a founding member of three bands: the Byrds; Crosby, Stills & Nash (CSN, who are sometimes joined by Neil Young as Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young [CSNY]); and CPR.
Crosby has been depicted as emblematic of the 1960s' counterculture.
He wrote or co-wrote "Lady Friend", "Why", and "Eight Miles High" with the Byrds and "Guinnevere", "Wooden Ships", "Shadow Captain", and "In My Dreams" with Crosby, Stills & Nash. He wrote "Almost Cut My Hair" and the title track "Déjà Vu" for Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's 1970 debut. He is known for his use of alternate tuning and jazz influence (notably on "Eight Miles High", "Wooden Ships", and "Déjà Vu" and with his group CPR).
Crosby has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice: once for his work in the Byrds and once for his work with CSN. Five albums he contributed to are included in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, three with the Byrds and two with CSN(Y).

If you smile at me you know I will understand
'Cause that is something everybody
Everywhere does in the same language
Well I can see by your coat my friend
That you're from the other side
There's just one thing I got to know
Can you tell me please who won?
You must try some of my purple berries
I been eating them for six or seven weeks now
Haven't got sick once
Probably keep us both alive, yeah
Wooden ships on the water very free and easy
You know the way it's supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline leave us be
Very free and easy
Sail away where the mornin' sun goes high
Sail away where the wind blows sweet, young birds fly
Take a sister by her hand
Lead her far from this barren land
Horror grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo your anguished cry
Stare as all your human feelings die
We are leaving you don't need us
Go and take a sister by her hand
Lead her far from this foreign land
Somewhere where we might laugh again
We are leaving you don't need us
No, you don't need us
Sailing ships on the water very free and easy
Easy you know the way it's supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline leave us be
Very free and gone
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no
Ride the music
Go ride the music
Go ride the music
Go ride the music
Go ride the music
Go ride the music
