When “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes” was released, it climbed to #21 on the Billboard Hot 100, which was a few spots higher than Crosby, Stills & Nash’s previous single, “Marrakesh Express,” had made it, so it was definitely a win by those standards. When one listens to “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes,” the four individual sections are easily distinguishable: it’s a pop song for the first second, which lasts just slightly less than three minutes, then the second section – which lasts from 2:56 to 4:43 – is performed in half time relative to the first section, then the third section (4:43 – 6:25) is upbeat again, and then it concludes with the “doo-doo-doo-da-doo” vocalizations that have served as the signature segment of the song. In fact, Collins was actually in the studio when he recorded the original demo of the song…and, as Stills revealed during a 2007 NPR interview, she told him “not to stay all night.” History does not reveal how long his recording session actually lasted, but it does confirm that he and Collins concluded their relationship pretty soon after that, which was pretty well telegraphed within the lyrics of the song.

Tearing yourself away from me now You are free and I am crying This does not mean I don't love you I do, that's forever, and always I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are And you make it hard. Remember what we've said, and done, and felt About each other Oh babe, have mercy Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now I am not dreaming I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are And you make it hard. It's getting to the point Where I'm no fun anymore I am sorry Sometimes it hurts so badly I must cry out loud I am lonely I am yours, you are mine You are what you are And you make it hard.
