Episode Synopsis

Lesser known tune, 4 + 20 was the 8th track bundled on the popular Deja' Vu album - 1970 from "CSN and Sometimes Y". Always loved and just attempted to respectfully sketch in AcoustaTronic and adapt to my own style.
4 + 20
(Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - 1970)
Four and twenty years ago I come into this life
The son of a woman and a man who lived in strife
He was tired of being poor
And he wasn't into selling door to door
And he worked like the devil to be more
A different kind of poverty now upsets me so
Night after sleepless night, I walk the floor and I want to know
Why am I so alone?
Where is my woman, can I bring her home?
Have I driven her away? Is she gone?
Morning comes the sunrise and I'm driven to my bed
I see that it is empty and there's devils in my head
I embrace the many colored beast
I grow weary of the torment, can there be no peace?
And I find myself just wishing that my life would simply cease
