Isn’t it wonderful when it doesn’t take much to make you happy? I’m the same way.......good music and the people I love. Doesn’t get much better.

such simple harmonies, really but unforgettable and the lyrics are always poignant and weaved into amazing stories over his long career

Amen 🙏

This is good. We will indeed need a new home in the sun if we spoil our nest which is Earth the 3rd rock from the sun

Yes. Hes careful about it and it’s a bit endearing since he’s a kinda big and clumsy like but not if you follow his body language. All art

*I am so frickin’ jealous! I was born in 1962 and was introduced to Mr. Neil Young around age 11 by my older Dennis 9yrs my senior. RIP my fav bro!

sugar mt all time great long may u run neil usa rules fuck cov19

@@johngoodridge3528 Neil was going to skip long may you run in his 1993 mtv unplugged set list because it didn't feel right with the audience. But Nils Lofgren who was playing with him convinced him to continue it as it too was his favorite. This was actually the second time doing the unplugged concert. My favorite from that one was the Old Laughing Lady, which is coincidentally another way of saying death via addiction or whatever you want to tie it to. This and Will to Love from stars 'n bars album are my favorite. Will to love was never performed live, said it was too personal and it had an actual fire crackling in the background.

Agree with Mikey and John G.100%!

□¤@Mikey Ramone¤; The song 'Natural Beauty' is not a 'Ballad' Do your 'Homework First'. In closing I say to you the following, Do Take Care and Be Well Always My Friend. If you wish to do so.🇨🇦🇬🇧🇺🇸🇧🇷🇲🇫....

@@growingupwithfloyd2184 don't tell me what to do. I'm a Neil's fan for years. This is just my opinion. Obviously I acknowledge that Neil does play Alternative / garage rock / grunge / folk and country sometimes.

I love it too! Unapologetic!

incredible isn't it you have a good heart Michael ..Best wishes my friend...I just mean, to really feel this song !! it's great. ..so many people miss out on this Gold !!!! this is the good stuff

Heart of gold

I'm part of the class of 71. Never grew up.and time has been very kind. I've hung with CSNY. I've also been on the W N Ragland, Neil's boat in.Papietti Tahiti. Long may we run. Peace and love in the face.of war.

THE NO.1 MUSUCIAN/SONGWRITER EVER. NOBODY EQUAL.

❤❤❤

BAR NONE!!!!!!!

Sure is. 😊 Natural Beauty has more meanings now.

War?

Maybe . Neil Young never say anything about that . I read in a book that could refer to numbers who were engaged in hunting those who had refused to entlist for war (one member for family) and were relentlessly sought by '' hunters of reds'' . They climbed the rivers in a white -painted boats with a big red lantern . What isn't very clear is when after they make the first shot , the boy raises his rifle but maybe not to shoot them , but to commit suicide , apologizing for it (last part of Powderfinger). The song was written originally for Allmand Brothers , but Neil decided to record it for Rust Never Sleeps . Of course it's only my opinion .

This has been bugging me for days now since I saw your comment Nicolas! I agree that the posthumous last verse seems to imply that he pulled the trigger on his rifle and killed himself. But it's not clear. He is certainly regretful. The line "Cover me for the thought that pulled the trigger" is ambiguous. "Cover me" is not a turn of phrase that means "forgive me" to me - but maybe it does to others? The verse up to his death uses the phrase "raised my rifle to my eye" which is more of a shooter's term than a suicide term. Practically, it seems more likely that he was shot by a man at the rail on the boat. Would it even be possible with the length of an 1860s or earlier rifle to shoot yourself in the eye? (I don't know much about guns).

Sorry, it's actually "Cover me with the thought that pulled the trigger." Then same comments apply though - if anything it's a little more ambiguous.

You are welcome Therenegadeaussie . We can begin with the meaning of ''cover me ...'' ; for me it's a sense of protection ''protect me '' regardless it's a suicide or not . I suposse the decision of 'pull the trigger' it's not easy to make it (with the rifle turn to you or turn to other person) , 'forgive me' as you said is another good way to say it . I'm not a hunter (and any intention to be one) but a hunter always places the rifle leaning heavily against his shoulder to prevent recoil ; nobody directs the rifle towards his eye (only to commit suicide) but one-eyed to the crosshair of the rifle to aim . Anyway I don't know if the hunters have their own words to refer the fact of pointing to something . In 2017 , Young released 'Hitchhiker' álbum (a lost álbum that it was recorded in 1976 but never released) , one of the recordings it was Powderfinger , before Neil gave the song to Steve Van Zandt (Lynyrd Skynyrd not Allmand Brothers as I said wrongfully on mt first comment) , but Steve died on a crash and he never recorded the song , and Neil recorded for his 1979 álbum Rust Never Sleeps . In this 2017 Hitchhiker álbum , Powderfinger has its own video clip for first time but the video doesn't provide the outcome of our own interpretation . I tried to discover if Neil participated in any way in the making of the video but I think not , it was all done by Warner Music Video and audiovisual company Black Balloon , that is , nothing new .

Will to Love is among my favorites. From American star's n bars album. Had a crackling fire in the background. He never performed it live, said it was too personal. That and this are my top from him, and then his like a hurricane performed live in berlin 1982 is absolutely legendary. But they region banned it in my country. Luckily, I have the entire concert on dvd 🙂

Sorry your life has been so awful.

I feel ya. I am 62 & an avid music lover of all, well most genre’s. In the past 6months or so I find myself limiting the time I spend with music. So many, many memories of time gone by that will never return. It makes my heart ache.

@@kimwillett8817 makes my heart ache for the past times also. I guess it's just a part of growing older. Be 62 this year. I will never stop listening as I truly believe (& know) that WE came up in the absolute BEST ERA that REAL MUSIC has ever known. Whenever you feel down, remember the good times & great memories that only you have, unless you share them with family & friends, or even strangers. I just love a really good story. My grandmother was born and raised in Texas. She passed in 1999 at 92. She used to tell me stories about growing up right outside of Corsicana. There are only farming fields there now, but I know that there was once a small town ( & railroad) there named Pinkston. I betcha most people that live there today don't know that, but I do because she told me all about it. I was also born in Texas and raised everywhere (army brat) I now reside in Alabama. But I know where Pinkston Texas was. ALWAYS remember the good times in your life. Much love from Lower Alabama. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Huh??

Hey Jude,what does that mean?

Stop bring so petty your last comment is bollocking talk. Whoever Neil wants to spend his life with us up to him. US HAS ONE IF THE HUGEST DIVORCE RATES IN THE WORLD. NEIL NO DIFFERENT TO ANYBODY ELSE ON LIFE EXCEPTS HE'S THE GREATEST SONGWRITER EVER. FORGIVE EVERYONE DIVORCE AND MOVE ON NOT HOLDING STUPID GRUDGES.

Peggy died of cancer before he met Hanna.Don;t believe all you hear.

@@BradiswhatBraddoes sadly that is patently false... He divorced Pegi and got with Daryl... Its a fact... I was very sorry when I learned... Pegi died a bit afterwards. By the way... Wheres part 1 ? Its not visible on your channel.

@@AMEER-114- Yea, Neil's a character. Touring incessantly, adopting all kinds of personas, endlessly. He had to take off because flying on the ground is wrong.
