Neil Young Lyrics


IN the course of his thirty-year career as a recording
artist, Neil Young has experienced as many extreme low
points of critical and commercial success as he has high,
but without a doubt, he is one of the most important rock
composers and performers North America can claim. His
signature raw nasal tone, shrill guitar playing, highly
personal lyric-writing, and hippie-cowboy loner stance have
helped shape rock and roll as it has advanced from
adolescence into maturity. Through his experimentation with
every genre, from folk to heavy More...

Reviews about Neil Young songs
My Top Fave Movie Soundtrack | Reviewer: obient
    ------ About the song Philadelphia performed by Neil Young

I've seen Philadelphia (1993) 3 times and many times just for seeing the ending. After Joe got a call from Miguel this song was playing. Thanks Neil Young for this song, it's totally beautiful. Lyrics in verse 1 is my fave. Great work, sir.

It Ran A Long Time | Reviewer: Elizabeth
    ------ About the song Long May You Run performed by Neil Young

Everytime I hear this song I think of my 1972 Chevy Malibu. The best car I ever owned. We went through the birth of two kids, a divorce, a tour in the military, collage and the begining of my first real job. She never let me down. She even ran after we got hit and ran off the Parkway into the woods. I had her repaired and off we were again. After 12 years I sold her to a machanic that loved her as much as I did but I cried my eyes out the night she left. I guess its a long shot but I hope her "chrome heart is still shining in the sun".

Neil Young against us? | Reviewer: toothis
    ------ About the song Let's Impeach The President performed by Neil Young

Please remind me, when did Neil sing about how the enemy wants to nuke us? Never? Sooo, he just has songs for those protecting America, and not those attacking her?
And I'm waiting for the song about how Obama watched the Gulf fill with oil!
And how Obama keeps these 2 wars going!
And how Obama can not only tap into your internet and phone, but how he can now kill any American (overseas or not) that he suspects of terrorism.
(Waiting...waiting...waiting...tapping my foot...)

Neil on Target | Reviewer: Friend of Dave Lewis
    ------ About the song Cough Up The Bucks performed by Neil Young

Thank you Neil, for such an accurate and profound song. We believe Dave Lewis was murdered in Ashland, Oregon (9-4-08) because the big-boyz, fat-rich men on the mountain got more & more greedy....Dave knew they couldn't cough up the bucks, legally. Dave knew. So they ended his life. Now they will be hunted down & arrested by law enforcement. Won't be long now. They will cough up the bucks, with their own time-served. Thanks Neil for the insight.

Neil can you deliver? | Reviewer: nemo
    ------ About the song Soldier performed by Neil Young

Big Neil Young fan from my youth, now 56 and come on the lyics I never saw before. Disappointed as I look to Christ for my salvation (not an evangelical war monger but Jesus prince of peace believer. Was looking forward to the upcoming Bridge School Concert, not so much now. Hurts.

The Big Slide, the Full Moon, and the Will to Carry-On. | Reviewer: dave brewer
    ------ About the song Give Me Strength performed by Neil Young

When I was a kid, about six or seven I think, my brother and I went to this miniature golf place, and they had a superslide. Well for whatever reason the guy taking the tickets got mad at me and my brother, and we didn't go on the slide. I didn't cry, but obviously I wasn't very happy either. Most of all I was just dismayed, perhaps for the first time. To this day even though I realize there could have been a thousand other reasons this guy got mad at us which had nothing to do with us, the thought of it and this guys attitude still play a part in my memory.
The point is there's a significant amount of pain and dismay in life you're just going to run into ("the moon") and you're meant to carry it with you for the rest of your life("is almost full") because your psyche sees and knows this as a significant truth of living no matter what else you can know, happy or otherwise(except for the stars").

I also sense from lines like "the laughter in her eyes is never all" that Mr. Young is expressing his own inabilities to experience something without a world of other thoughts and feelings jumping onto it. Certainly, Neil isn't telling us anything new that "the happier you fly, the sadder you fall." What I gathered here was more my connection to the truth of such a statement and that it's in knowing such things that our strength gets sapped and we are brought down much past what the event itself should have taken us.

So is there anything positive to be gained from such sad and desolate lyrics. Of course. Why else would we be drawn to such things. The strength we are all looking for is hidden in the struggle. When we identify with someone else's pain, we bond. In that bonding, we are taken to a place outside ourselves and there seems to be a natural tendency to gather strength from such places whether you want to call it cosmic energy or compassion (even for the self.) The true beauty of this song is its transcendence from the juvenile belief that we will eventually get past our pain and that as we travel down this cold and lonely road we can find inside the pain of the afflicted human spirit in all its imperfections and with all its burdens that there lies within us all a will that seeks to carry on.

Thanks again Neil for getting me past,

Still True | Reviewer: Todd
    ------ About the song Find The Cost Of Freedom performed by Neil Young

The cost of Freedom is the blood of its people. I've listened to this song hundreds of times & it still brings me to tears (and makes me want to kick Nixon's ass). Always remember to stand up for what's Right, Advocate for those who can't, and FIGHT the POWER!!!
Evil happens when good men do nothing

New York City, 1970 | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song FLYING ON THE GROUND IS WRONG performed by Neil Young

"This is the first dope/acid rock song I ever wrote. I was cashing in on psychadelics at the time. [Laughs] I was more into jello than anything else."

Neil Young, Dec. 5, 1970, Carnegie Hall, NYC
