Being alone is not the worst thing in the world. The worst thing is being with someone who makes you feel all alone.

[Undefinedsoundscapes]

I was very alone in my youth, had no friends and never had a girlfriend until I was thirty years old. So I constantly longed for a heart of gold. I must have played the song a thousand times on the guitar in my youth. Neil Young was always a role model for me for many, many years.

[kengunter]

1 of the greatest artists of all time.

[rhwinner]

He had the talent of creating iconic songs out of just basic chords and simple strumming. He rarely uses complex finger picking or other technical methods in his songs.

[robertcussins]

Found that person when I was fifteen. Took a lot of work...she was two years older, but she took to me. That was 1975. We've been married for over 46 years now. I found my heart of gold. Thanks Neil. Thanks Aileen.

[stpnwlf]

An absolutely masterful singer-songwriter. The complexity of his lyrics and message contrast with his simple. uncomplicated melodies and production.

[Fritzw]

I was lucky enough to see Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young in June 1974 at the Oakland Stadium outdoor Day on the Green Concert. It was incredible. They played for almost 4 hours, 2 hours as a band and 30 minutes for each for their solo. The Band and Joe Walsh & Barnstorm and Jessie Colin Young played before CSNY. Neil was always my favorite out of the CSNY group. He was amazing when he left the band and was on his solo career. And he formed a band called Crazy Horse. You must listen to his music with that band. wow

Since you are just dipping your toe into Neil's abilities starting with his great softer acoustic classics you will actually be amazed at how diverse he is in his song writing, sound, and voice. For an awesome harder rockin Neil check out "COWGIRL IN THE SAND" and "DOWN BY THE RIVER". For some searing political content and musicianship check out "SOUTHERN MAN" (the title hints at the topic), and "OHIO" a true story song about 4 students at Kent State University that were gunned down by State Troopers during an anti-war rally.

Neil has a way with lyrics, and his singing tone is unique. His music brings me so much pleasure. It can calm us down and pump
us up, So many of his songs bring back memories of my youth, deep friendships, and happy times. That's the magic in music; it
transports your soul to a different time and space. It can fill you with happiness or make you weep from lost love and friends.
Thank you, bright Angel Aileen, for playing Neil You (I hope you play more), and I love your witty and heartfelt commentary and thoughts.

"Needle and the damage done" next?
And certainly "Rocking in the free world" has to be on your list as well, Neil is a lyrical master and it shows in every song he created or was a part of.

[meecob]

Once you listen to Neil Young you can never go back. The great music still exists just go back further. 🎸

[TheKeefed]

Bought this back in 74. Was 13 then. And I still feel it. Harvest. WOW! Still have that feeling. Love your reaction. Wish you all the best. And your analys of the lyrics. Just sigh! You're spot on. Thank you.

[ricardosousa]

Hi Aileen In the song, Young sings of being in Hollywood, Redwood (forests, presumably), and crossing oceans in search of a heart of gold. Indeed, the song is about salvation—either someone or something—that can give him the treasure—metaphorical or actual—that he requires.

[patcow]

Thanks Aileen, this brought back memories. My brother (who sadly passed away a few years back), got me into Neil Young, playing his songs on his Ovation acoustic, then with his Telecaster for the rock numbers. I paid him back by taking him to the Hop Farm festival in Kent, England, where Neil headlined. He's a prolific songwriter, Aileen, loved that you've dipped your toes in! As a different vibe, I'd highly recommend Rocking in the Free World, the lyrics are astonishingly moving.

[Kauthaji]

It's a shame that the video didn't show Neil looking for the correct harmonica in the key for the song and making jokes. I tried to find a version that included it but couldn't find it anymore. Neil Young is legendary.

[Teresa-weke]

This brings back sooo many memories for me. I was maybe 15 when I first started listening to whole band "Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young" Neil's solo songs still melt my heart! Thank you for reacting to this timeless song. ❤❤❤❤

[tonymoyer]

Honesty, authenticity, and the love of words. That's his magic.

[dansernerkhi]

I remember being like 5 or 6 years old watching the Live Aid concert with multiple artists and like the whole world watching, it was a really big deal to have so many people coming together to watch and listen to the same thing at once. In comes this Man with a cut-off logger shirt, completely unassuming and humble and He is alone on stage with only His Guitar and Harmonica. I looked up to My Father and asked. WHO IS THAT? - That's Neil Young Son my Father replied with a smile. He doesn't need any back-up band or electrics. I was so impressed right off the bat, even before He started singing. Been loving Him and His Music ever since <3

[KARENCOGS]

Cinnamon Girl is also a classic! Or Hey Hey My My or Rockin in a Free World There is s version with Pearl Jam!! ❤️❤️

[bobschenkel]

Some recommendations for further Neil Young exploration: "Powderfinger", "Cinnamon Girl", "Sedan Delivery", "Needle and The Damage Done", "Harvest Moon", "Down By The River", "Cowgirl In The Sand", "Cortez the Killer", "Ohio", "Rockin' In The Free World", "This Notes For You", "Sugar Mountain", "After The Goldrush", "Tonight's The Night". That's enough to get you started Aileen. Enjoy.
