Bluebird Lyrics
Listen to my bluebird laugh.
She can't tell you why.
Deep within her heart, you see,
She knows only crying.
Just crying.
There she sits, aloft a perch,
Strangest color blue.
Flying is forgotten now.
Thinks only of you.
Just you.
Oh yeah...
So, get all those blues,
Must be a thousand hues.
And be just differently used.
You just know.
You sit there mesmerized
By the depth of her eyes
That you can't categorize.
She got soul.
She got soul.
She got soul.
She got soul!
Do you think she loves you?
Do you think at all?
Soon she's going to fly away.
Sadness is her own.
Give herself a bath of tears
And go home, and go home.
She can't tell you why.
Deep within her heart, you see,
She knows only crying.
Just crying.
Strangest color blue.
Flying is forgotten now.
Thinks only of you.
Just you.
Oh yeah...
Must be a thousand hues.
And be just differently used.
You just know.
By the depth of her eyes
That you can't categorize.
She got soul.
She got soul.
She got soul.
She got soul!
Do you think at all?
Sadness is her own.
Give herself a bath of tears
And go home, and go home.

Its a love song. It's about the same person that Suite: Judy Blue Eyes on the first CSN album is about. Its about Stephen Stills girlfriend at the time, singer/songwriter Judy Collins.
Few quick notes on the guitars and the album Buffalo Springfield Again. its both Stephen and Neil Young. Stephen is on the lead acoustic guitar and Neil is the trippy loud electric. Neil had quit Buffalo Springfield while they were recording the song and began to work on a solo album before he heard "Mr. Soul" being played on the radio in LA. He rejoined the band but much of it was already recorded, so he ended up overdubbing electric guitar to a few of the songs, this being one of them. There's a 9 minute version of it somewhere with an even longer guitar solo section. From Neil's attempted solo album, he brought in "Broken Arrow" and "Expecting to Fly", which feature no other member of the band other than Neil and overdubbed vocals by Richie Furay, although the beginning of "Broken Arrow" features "Mr Soul" with everyone in the band, but Neil, with drummer Dewey Martin singing the lead vocals.
forget the guitar, the climax is the clawhammer banjo solo!
such an incredible song. its a shame buffalo sprinfield is remembered only for "For What its Worth".
A blue-eyed lover who flies away.
I think the ending is the climax...
I just absolutely love this song!!!!
I just absolutely love this song!!!!
What I think it means: The guy loves a girl who has mesmerized him by her looks and charm. But, underneath all of her laughing and seeming happiness she is crying inside. She has a broken heart and longs for another man than the singer. And soon she will cry it out and go back home......

That is what I think it means.

that guitar is trippy as hell, and then the do you think she loves you part together is all just like a psychedelic orgasm. i have no idea what the hell the song is about, but if i had to guess its all about some girl hes just enamored with and is just describing her throughout the whole song.
