About This Song
About "4 + 20 (Alternate Take 2)" by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
'4 + 20' (Alternate Take 2) finds Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young in fragile bloom. The acoustic arrangement is sparser, Stephen Stills's voice cracking with vulnerability. A quiet meditation on mortality and time, the alternate take feels like eavesdropping on a private reckoning.
