About Our House

"Our House" is a song written by British singer-songwriter Graham Nash, most famously recorded by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young on their 1970 album Déjà Vu. It reached #30 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The song refers to Nash's brief affair with Joni Mitchell at the time Crosby, Stills Nash and Young recorded the Déjà Vu album. What is interesting about this song is the underlying complex moral struggle Nash was facing between the hippy era free love mentality and the desire for a monogamous relationship. .

Our House Lyrics

[00:00.43] I'll light the fire
[00:04.43] You place the flowers in the vase
[00:09.34] That you bought today
[00:16.17] Staring at the fire
[00:19.35] For hours and hours while I listen to you
[00:26.79] Play your love songs all night long for me
[00:36.68] Only for me
[00:43.23] Come to me now (Come to me now)
[00:46.36] And rest your head for just five minutes
[00:50.70] Everything is done
[00:56.77] Such a cozy room (Such a cozy room)
[01:00.08] The windows are illuminated
[01:03.61] By the evening sunshine through them
[01:10.47] Fiery gems for you, only for you
[01:21.83]
[01:24.10] Our house is a very, very, very fine house
[01:30.45] With two cats in the yard
[01:33.84] Life used to be so hard
[01:37.25] Now everything is easy 'cause of you
[01:44.47] And our
[01:47.87] La-la, la-la-la-la-la
[01:51.74] La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
[01:55.87] La-la-la-la-la-la-la
[01:58.67] La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
[02:02.48] La-la, la-la-la-la-la
[02:05.43] La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
[02:09.33] La-la-la-la-la-la-la
[02:12.08] Our house is a very, very, very fine house
[02:18.47] With two cats in the yard
[02:21.72] Life used to be so hard
[02:25.17] Now everything is easy 'cause of you
[02:32.73] And our
[02:36.76] I'll light the fire
[02:40.30] While you place the flowers in the vase
[02:46.07] That you bought today
[02:53.73]
