Lyrical relic: Lyrics that describe going through airport security with someone who does not have a boarding pass
She helped me with my suitcase She stands before my eyes Driving me to the airport And to the friendly skies Going through security I held her for so long She finally looked at me in love And she was gone Full lyrics
By 1977, the golden era of air travel — when it was still considered luxurious and an occasion for dressing up in one’s finest — was pretty much over. However, the airport experience was still quite chill. Going through security and getting to your gate in time did not induce the soaring stress levels it does today. The screening of passengers and their carry-on baggage had only become a requirement or US airlines in 1973, but it remained fairly lax, right into the new millennium. Everything of course changed after 9/11.
It’s unclear exactly who this woman is that is taking Graham Nash to the airport (my guess is a post-concert fling), but she’s with him as he goes through security before they part ways. In 1977, you could get away with this, but there’s no way this lady is going to venture past security today without a boarding pass.
There are a few exceptions. If you need to accompany a minor or elderly person, or a person with disabilities, you can apply for a gate pass. Airlines will also issue a special access pass to family members of those serving in the US military.
Times may be changing though. A handful of airports have started to offer visitors passes so you can hang out with your travelling counterparts right until they depart, or just meander through airports and partake of their overpriced shops and restaurants.
According to Nash, he wrote the song on a bet, in just 20. A friend that Nash was staying with (a.k.a., his drug dealer) wagered that he couldn’t whip up a song just before he left for the airport. Nash won $500 for his effort. It also garnered him and his band their highest charting hit. Not bad for 20-minutes work.
