When you go all-in with alliteration on a song, it could get silly sounding (see what I did there?). Still, Stephen Stills managed to maintain (okay, I quit) the gravitas necessary for this song about unrequited love that Crosby, Stills & Nash released on their terrific 1969 debut album. I’ve wanted to learn and record this one for a while and finally tackled it. Hope you enjoy my attempt at “Helplessly Hoping,” and thanks for listening.
