In this episode of Lyrical Wisdom, we explore Wooden Ships by Crosby, Stills & Nash—a haunting, poetic song that feels both gentle and unsettling. We talk about the imagery, the sense of escape and uncertainty woven into the lyrics, and how the song captures a moment in time where hope and fear exist side by side. It’s a reflective conversation about endings, beginnings, and what we carry with us when everything familiar starts to drift away.
