This song was played at my mother's funeral , her life was cut short at 59 due to a motorcycle fatality. She was riding her Harley. This song describes my mothers life. Tomorrow will be her birthday she has been gone 13 years. She had beautiful blond hair and hazel eyes. RIP mom I'll be home one day to hug you again.

Neil has a ton of talent in various areas. Also, I like how he appears to do exactly what he wants to do, much like Willy Nelson or Ted Nugent. Got to admire people who become successful doing it their own way. It's probably describes more people than I think it does.

@kenwallewein2431 Жыл бұрын

You know, maybe it looks like choice or willpower, but sometimes its just because they just can't do it any other way. They just have to go where they must. If it works out, great. Talent is wonderful. Sometimes it's a matter of being able to keep getting along with the people you need. Sometimes that's hard, when you're driven to do what you have to do.

its actually a song about a motorcycle-- the blond woman with flowing hair is a personification of the bike itself --the chrome heart etc. possibly one of his best crafted songs.

You're completely wrong. Neil has a lot of weird lyrics (like "Last Trip To Tulsa") but this one is pretty straight forward. Your interpretation of this song makes no sense.

Lyrics She used to work in a diner Never saw a woman look finer I used to order just to watch her float across the floor She grew up in a small town Never put her roots down Daddy always kept movin', so she did too. Somewhere on a desert highway She rides a Harley-Davidson Her long blonde hair flyin' in the wind She's been runnin' half her life The chrome and steel she rides Collidin' with the very air she breathes The air she breathes. You know it ain't easy You got to hold on She was an unknown legend in her time Now she's dressin' two kids Lookin' for a magic kiss She gets the far-away look in her eyes. Somewhere on a desert highway She rides a Harley-Davidson Her long blonde hair flyin' in the wind She's been runnin' half her life The chrome and steel she rides Collidin' with the very air she breathes The air she breathes.

Kevin Mackey He puts his heart and soul into it, and his strumming pattern is complex. Also his voice and melodies make his songs beautiful.

@ash31311 9 жыл бұрын

Kevin Mackey In music simple is often best. This song uses a 5 bar pattern instead of the more common 8 or 12 bar progression. To reply to the earlier poster this song does use only 2 chords however the 3rd chord ( E) is implied with the open low e string on measure 5.

I agree that the 1970s was a great decade. But songwriting is not a dead or dying art. Maybe that’s the #Gangsta in me talking. BTW, I did not know (until reading this) that ‘All Along the #Watchtower’ was a #Dylan song, I thought it was a #JimiThing!! Shows how much I know... But I am fire-breathing #JW sympathizer. I just assumed #Prince played it at that #SuperbowlHalftime as, I dunno, a matter of faith....
