It’s bad weather day. We aren’t supposed to get much here except some heavy winds when the rain comes through. Meanwhile, the Deep South is looking at a significant tornado outbreak. 
I’m praying for them. Meanwhile, I’ll give you another song with “help” in the title.
#4: Helplessly Hoping - Crosby, Stills, and Nash
The alliteration national anthem!!! 
To those teachers who want to explain what alliteration is, just play them this song. 
An absolute gorgeous song from the stunning harmonies that are CSN.
As for why the Neil Young “help” song (“Helpless”) didn’t make it, I had to flip a coin. You see who won. But if it had come up “tails” CSN would still be in this spot, just with Neil singing lead instead of Stephen.
Helplessly Hoping
Written by Stephen Stills
Recorded by Crosby, Stills, and Nash
From Crosby, Stills & Nash, 1969

@FourWalls I actually saw CSNY the last time they all toured together. Great show but Steven Stills sounded like $hit.

@FourWalls I did enjoy it. It was followed up on YouTube by a female trio doing a cover of the song. Their version was almost as good as the original.
I'm glad you liked the book. I hope you'll check out some of my other titles.

They are among the best at harmonies. (Or were, they don’t talk anymore.

A great Stills contribution to that LP. Don't know if that tune would have fit Neil's voice as well. But his guitar contribution certainly did

We had some heavy winds out here on the east coast too. The wind nearly blew me away! My message to world is RESPECT MOTHER NATURE cuz she surely doesn’t play! I hope you are safe where you are. This weekend we’re gonna be getting rain for the next 2 days. Hopefully it won’t be too bad *fingers crossed*
