It's the story of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young told in a music video. "Our House," the beloved tune about Graham Nash and Joni Mitchell living together in Laurel Canyon from the group's iconic Deja Vu album has been given a new animated lyric video treatment, and it can be watched below.

And an hour later, 'Our House' was born, out of an incredibly ordinary moment that many, many people have experienced."

The 50th anniversary deluxe edition of Deja Vu is set for release on May 14, and will be available in Retail and special D2C formats.
