Neil Young is about the only old rocker that I enjoy listening to. Whether it is his old music or his newer tunes, his stuff is uniformly easy on the ears.

Who's the female singing background on this?

Could have been Nicolette Larson, who met Neil through association with Linda Rondstat, who also sang on a lot of songs with him...
Love the song, and sure do love the multi-layered talents of NEIL YOUNG!

Pulling this up from the depths, because I also think it would be interesting to hear what other RPeeps have to say about the lyrics to this song. Apart from the absolute pure beauty of the music and the simplicity of the arrangement, I'd love to know how other people interpret the lyrics. I think andrewimft has a pretty good grasp of the Young perception.

What say you, RPeeps?

I'm not sure what the song means, but my interpretation is Neil's recurring theme in his songs about love of nature and disdain for the cacophony of city life and civilization, and his theme of being present in the old days (in another life) when nature was replaced by civilization. "I feel like going back, to where there's nowhere to stay" —I'm not sure what that means, whether he's invoking travel, or wandering in the wilderness, or celebrating the moment when you're in nature and purely living in the joy of the moment. But it's my interpretation that that's what he's getting at. It'd be interesting for others to weigh in on what they think the lyrics to this beautiful song mean, they are not all that concrete and more ambiguous and open to interpretation.

{#Clap} I totally agree. This album eclypsed most of what was produced during that time. I love Neil Young's music.

One of the reasons I like this song is because it just takes me back to a time when things were simple, fun and pleasant. Not like today. Thanks Neil....

Hyperbole poorly applied, Bentonian. This is a beautiful little song.

Saddest words in the language: Bill's voice intoning, "And now, here's some Neil Young." {#Cry}
