This song opens the album Deja Vu. Written by Stephen Stills, this song contains two distinct sections bridged with the proclamation, "Carry On, love is coming, love is coming to us all."
The second part of the song is taken from "Questions," a song Stills wrote for his band Buffalo Springfield that appeared on their 1968 album Last Time Around.
In the liner notes of their 1991 boxed set, drummer Dallas Taylor said: "The song was written in the middle of the Deja Vu sessions, when Nash told Stephen they still didn't have an opener for the album. It was something of a message to the group, since it had become a real struggle to keep the band together at that point. Stephen combined two unfinished songs and stuck them onto a jam we'd had out in the studio a few nights before, me on drums and Stephen on a Hammond B-3 organ. As the track begins I'm playing bass drums and high hat, and Graham is playing congas. Then we go into a 6/8 groove, which is rather obscure - Stephen loved to change gears that way. The sessions would go on all night, sometimes three or four days non-stop. The thing I loved about the studio was you could never tell if it was day or night, and we hid all the clocks so no one knew what time it was."
