I still can't sing Southern Cross without choking up when I get to "she is all that I have left and Music is her name" and I've been singing it since it came out in late 1982.
Being hearing impaired means I don't always know the words to the songs (or what anyone is saying when they talk to me). But my impairment is such that I can isolate every instrument from a performance and hone in on just that one instrument. With CSN(and Y), I don't try. It's the harmony that is the instrument. It takes me to another place.
Yes does the same thing to me as well but in a totally different way. Cover your ears with a headset, give the bass just a TINY bump in volume and crisp up the midrange, and then jack the volume of that combo up a few notches. Then listen to Rick Wakeman's intro to Parallels and the fade-in of Steve Howe, Alan White, and Chris Squire on the Going for the One album. You might get a sense of how I "feel" when I listen to them. It just shoots a love-bullet right through my heart.
