2024 and I'm still listening to this Great Song! Anybody else?
Yes. This is literally a perfect song. I love to play it myself; it's beautiful and comforting. Neil is the king of singer-songwriters in my mind. He can play folk, country, soft rock, hard rock and more. I saw him with Crazy Horse a couple of weekends ago in Phoenix. I'm still singing songs from that night. He's one of the most real performers ever.
@@rftulie, Wow! How is he sounding? This song and Old Man are my two Favorites for personal reasons. 💛
We have similar tastes! I play both those songs frequently. Neil was incredible in concert. Most was typical Crazy Horse numbers with hard rocking and long solos by Neil. My friend said, “do you think Neil’s back is OK, because he’s bending over so far?” I said no, he’s been jackknifing over his guitar since he was in his 20s, that’s how he rocks out😎He played for an hour and a half, no breaks. Opened with Cortez the Killer, closed with Hey Hey, My My.
😅whose’s watching here? It is 2024

Bro 2023 I'm still listening, I'm 70 years old been fifty years plus listening to this man oh, I just found all these videos happy trails

Happy trails love me some QMS!
I'm 68 years old and I still can't get this song out of my head...
The first time I heard this song, when I was 16 in 1979, was when my older sister and her musician friends got together on a lazy Sunday afternoon to smoke pot and have a jam session. They played this song and a few other Neil Young songs, along with some Led Zepplin as well.
Whenever I hear this song I am taken back to that day when life was so happy and simple.
Nothing like great memories.
Wish I was there.
It was
Amen brother 😂
A true musician that NEVER sold out.
Well, at $200 a ticket, that's easier to say.
Sold 50% of his music rights just this week!
At $200 a ticket, why would he?
He never sold out to the big I . The illuminati! A thousand points of light !
Who's listening to this classic with me in 2020?!
My favorite song.
@@Anonymous-vb8nw Neil is the best
Today this song is makin’ me cry
@@alejandramguerrero5885 I get it 😥
We always come back
Neil Young & Willie on stage together it doesn’t get much better than that !
Great song.. Great voice. Great music. Makes me go back to the days when life was simple then. Am 64 years old and I grew up with Neil Young's music. Just pure, soulful music.

I agree, I'm 67 my wife 65
Hi Carolina.
Coming up 62, here in Bristol, England. Forgive me if potentially, this text is inappropriate in respect of any potential time difference, dependent upon where you reside.
Celebrated Neil's 75th a few days ago, now living on my own these last six years, in lockdown. Played him all day and raised a glass of 75 Beaujolais, which seemed appropriate and worth the 45 year wait in decorking.
Only our beautiful Joni is allowed to dine with Neil at the exclusive reserved table for singer songwriters.
Named my first child after Neil,.....she wasn't happy!!!!
😅😅😅😅😅.
Stay safe and well young lady in these trying times and, should you have one, may your God be with you.

I have been listening to Neil since I was 14 I'm 63 and I still love his music ROCK ON!
Ditto.Same.
Me too...
It started with "Old Man".
@@alicassidy8913 I'm a lot like you !
Ya Deb nice where does the time go I'm 65. My first rock album was after the Gold Rush have a nice day 🌹
Me too. 🥰
It's beautiful how a song can take you to a place that you haven't been before!!
That's the magic of good music
I guess you're thinkin' that you're leavin' there too soon?
We all have our own Sugar Mt.
Pray you've found one.
@robertcamp6885 My sugar mountain changes as I get older. It has never been one place. I guess it is what I carry within me.
Or back where you were
It is virtually impossible to choose a favourite Neil Young track …they are all masterpieces….
who else is there like that? Bob Marley, Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, Led Zep, AC/DC ?? there are not many
Agree
I am 61 yrs old now and still listening to NEIL YOUNG musical greatness...
Me too born in 62 still rocking in a free world..though everything is so frikin expensive😅
I'm nearly 62 and it brings tears to my eyes too. Profit of every second of your life, it goes past so fast...

Anyone listening to one of the best songs of all time in 2023?
Yep. Love this song. And I'm only 68.
I've listened to this and all of Neil's songs and he's from a town just south of Winnipeg Manitoba where I live 😎
Life sounds SWEET on sugar Mountain❤
@@waynephillips1538it's crazy how we were just kids a few days ago..
Probably his most popular
I’m going to be 60 this year in May 2022 , been listening to this since I was 14 years old. Never gets old only better.
Been a young fan since I was young 50 years ago @ 11 years old😅
Agree he’s forever “Young” I can cry like a baby when I think of the impact he has on my life 🎼🩵💙 this is the real GOAT
The greatest thing a writer can do is to evoke deep emotions with their writing, so true of music, and I think Neil Young has always had that gift with his music. Every song is a collage of emotion, hitting you deep from all sides.
Honesty is the key ingredient to real art. Neil laid his soul bare when he wrote this song and delivered it from the heart. Rod Serling often explored what he once described as, "The one effort all men make at some point in their lives...trying to go home again." This is Neil Young's version of that ancient theme.
jaxbus3000 wow
Wow
Hope I can remember this description. It’s awesome
It gives joy to see a musician so in love with the music. He always seems so open, so enthusiastic about making music with a score of very top artists. including Bob Dylan.
No one netter
sometimes I feel like Neil Young wrote the soundtrack to my life
Same here; started with After The Gold Rush and continues to this day.
2023 and I still listen to this timeless classic!
for ever and ever ❤
Me too !!!! It's AWESOME POSSUM RIGHT 👍
Me as well, so on and so forth....
I have loved this song a good percent of my 67 years.
Yeppers, still relevant here in 2023!
Neil was influential on my generation. I'm 61 and his music is timeless
I’m 61 and from Illinois too. Loved Neil since I’m 15.
@@desertbitch1 Hi Jackie! Very Nice to meet up with you! Thanks for sharing !
There will come a time in your life that your soul will look for his music. And his music will touch your soul.
this gave me goosbumps, right now is the time for me dear tassos
Well said. It happened to me. And it has.
Tassos Vasileiadis ABSOLUTELY!
'Old Man', 1972 Harvest Gold album, did it for me and Still listening to ANY of Neils' music today is "GOLD" to my soul.
It already has, in so many ways. I have seen him in person three times and have loved every minute. I love Neil.
A genius, a word not to be overused. I presume he has touched millions of lives
And you are correct with that presumption.
I agree-Neil Young is a genius.
yeah I also really think he is a genius, a musical genius.
Yeah he touched ppl, all but his disabled kids
💗 💖 💘 💝 💟 ☮️
Truely one of rock's greatest songwriters, guitarists, vocalist, and performers. "Classic" music 4 sure.!!!!✌👍❤
Love Neil Young he's one of a kind peace ✌
I've followed this old "Crazy Horse" my whole life and what memories his songs bring back
Neil Young is a "Majestic" Horse, only played with "Crazy Horse"? I hope you get my inference.🤔StayWell.

@@rinalore I get it!
With so few words he tells more than some books.

an absolute master of his craft, Neil got me out of a really bad place mentally & got me playing again, I love the man & his music
Kevin Jones
+ Kevin Jones: He has that magic power! Bless you and your music.
Kevin Jones Neil now has Parkinson's Des and will not be performing live but will keep writing songs and buying out albums the last time I saw him he sounded fantastic
Kevin Jones good taste in music Kevin
Kurt. It's Neil Diamond who just announced he has Parkinsons, not Neil YOUNG.
Wonderful old freak - music that touches the soul. So simple yet complex - spellbindingly beautiful with a touch of melancholy. Great artist.
That seems to be the key. Beautiful highly original music from the heart with harmony and feeling and soul and a bit of story telling with the emotional rollercoaster of happy to nostalgic to sad (melancholy) to hopeful. It is the perfect storm of acoustic folk, country, light classic rock awesomeness!
yes
Without a doubt, Neil Young’s most underrated song 🥲❤
he wrote this when was 18 years old
This man truly touches emotions.
Neil is the Mozart of his style.No one compares.The best in our lifetime. Thank You Neil for the music and entertainment !!! God Bless

i could not have said it better,,,,,

He just warms the soul!! Who doesn't love Neil Young 💞 Grew up listening to him,and there really isn't a day that goes by that I don't listen to one if his tunes.Always puts a smile on my face😊🌟
Saw the guy playing guitar to the right of Young but what a surprise when the camera angle changed and it was Willie Nelson. Sugar Mountain is my favorite Neil Young song with southern man and my my hey hey close second and third.
@ 0:30-0:41 "I always remember those days as the happiest days of my life--until I grew up and got happy." Ain't that the truth, though.
Who can watch this and deny that Neil is an accomplished musician? He literally writes the songs, sings them, and plays guitar and harmonica all at the same time. That's a special talent, a special mind. Not many people are this talented.
one of the greatest
Who writes like Neil ,no one.
A genius.
I can't imagine anyone trying to deny it.
@Hello Albert how are you doing
Oh to live on sugar mountain...I was 11 when I heard this and these lyrics were my mental escape from the abuse I was going through. I Love this song! Thank you for the escape Neil!
I'm with you on that Y.
I hear ya, music saved me too. Great escape.
❤️❤️❤️
❤
Same here a survivor we are. Heart of gold by Neil took me many places to escape reality at the time.
The greatest beauty on earth is found in the hearts of those who love♥
That's a crock. Just sayin'......
what's left to be said about a legend in his own time 👍👍👍👌👌👌👊🌠
@Hello William how are you doing
for some reason, I always cry when I hear this song...
and when I got to see Mr. young earlier this year, and sang this, I closed my eyes, sang with it & tears just fell...
my poor hubby, he understood 🎸🎵🎻🎹🎶
Because the song mourns his early childhood, we've all had to experience some form of that, it strikes a chord deep within us. I can hardly keep from crying when I hear it too.
Joyce Jeffries
have a lovely day, sister 🌸
Oh man, you are not alone. This just rips me up with its simplicity but warm images. Just magic.
The epitome of Neil's view of the world in his early career days. I was so fortunate to hear this for the first time at his first solo gig after leaving Buffalo Springfield.... He gave a week at the Troubadour in the summer of 1969 and I was extremely blessed to get a seat. The Troubadour only seated about 200 folks and my table was about three feet from the stage..... and then he sang this..... Crystalline memories. Lovely day to all of you.
Oh yes....my husband always brings a hankie when we go see the old timers...I cry and then I mark each one with the date and concert!
I'm 68 had it playing Heart of gold in my Mach 1 in high school,miss those days👀
I'm 67 & Heart of Gold is my favorite song. 🧡
This man has made my life so much happier with his beautiful music, Thank you Neil!
I would like to second that thought. Thank you. Thank you Neil young. Thank you Crazy Horse
I'm 55. I always think the best years of my life were when I was in high school. Didn't have to worry about paying bills. Just cruising around in a junk car with my friends. A part time job made me feel like I was made of money. Those were the days. Can't go back to Sugar MT.
Oh yeah, Cheap weed and gas too!No fear or doubt
+Cavs_Fan94
this obliviously way over your head
go back to lady gaga boy band land
it was pure. cant say the same today.
+Cavs_Fan94 Who says we cant keep up with what ya smoking today - Ha, we sure can ! - I'm 56 next week and love the skunk !!!!
I used to grow Skunk in my basement in the 90's. But the Thai stick of the 70's was very potent. Two hit wonder.
Incredible. What a beautiful song from a legend. Thank you. Peace.
We all had a place like "Sugar Mountain" in our younger years and Neil Young can always remind us of that special place!!! Every song this versatile musician writes and sings has meaning to me from my first memories of music!!! Thank God for this man for his part in "Farm Aid", along with Willie Nelson and John Cougar! It has saved our Farmers during harsh times!!! Most Respectfully, Kathy!!! ❤❤❤
I'm still there😎✌💞
I olso slept with a girl he slept we me too in Toronto!
Me
One of the best singer songwriters ever !! 👍👏👏👏🎤🎸
@Hello Mike how are you doing
Sugar mountain is a special place where you always stay young, or at least you hope so. I was a dumb kid when I first heard this song but I still love Neil Young, so many memories his music has had in my life. Some good, some not but a great part of my life. Life without music would be death.
Right On!
Scott McMichael Am I misremembering or did he used to introduce this song ?by saying Sugar Mountain was actually a club in Toronto with an age limit of under 20. So a club for teens only
Yeah, I think it was in Winnipeg though, where he lived as a teen
Indeed
Scott: You said "Life without music would be death. " Me too, Scott!
I've never had any one be able to touch me deep in my soul like Neal doe's as far as I'm concern there is no better
N E I L is one of the true musical heavyweights and I doubt if it bothers him one bit if a fan makes a typo.
On the other hand N E I L probably has no time for mean-spirited blog replies.......sort of like yours Steven.
Could he be joking? Setup, punchline, rimshot! At least he didn't correct his spelling by Y E L L I N G, twice. (just jokes folks)
Robert Sexton Neil Young is a great artist he will be sadly missed from the stage so if you ever had the pleasure of seeing him live Saver it seen him two times up in Madison WI and summerfest 3 years ago took my son he loves the 60's and early 70 ' s music will we ever have artist of this caliber again and just not fade away Bob Dylan ranks right up at the top of there craft of being great artist and some of the best story tellers through music thanks by
v
Robert Sexton I agree 100 per cent. Heart of Gold was one of my first 45s. Been a fan since. Close to 50 years.
When I first started playing guitar back in the late-70's, We had a bunch of friends and we hung out at the non-finished Garfield Bridge in Elberon, NJ and I'd play alot, if not most, of Neil Young's songs on Acoustic. Great times................
2024 Still listening.
Wanna go back to those days where pple appreciated the real music, so soothing and calm. evokes a feeling of contentedness
The house that Neil speaks of still stands here in Omemee. He spent a few years of his younger life here. His Dad had a farm a couple of miles south of where we live.
Ah, the times of innocence, the times of learning to be. Neil perfectly personified these tender times we all experience when he wrote this song, when he was pretty much a child himself. He has a gift. Many more masterpieces were to come later. Thank you, Neil.
This is my favorite NY song -- vastly underrated by even him -- what's the matter with you, Neil...this is GORGEOUS !!!
Old man here, was thinking what do you mean New York song, took a second or two to come to my senses.
another proud canadian, we may be few, but were together.
i was lucky enough to see Neil Young at his first concert Royal Festival Hall circa 1971.
john falconer I saw him in Phoenix 16 years ago - best concert ever and I will never forget it.
Harvest was the first album I bought before I ever got a decent stereo. It's one of the few albums that I owned 2 copies of. To this day, some of Neil Young's songs will bring tears to my eyes.
such a great song he penned at 19 years old...classic lyrics...brilliant voice...
"When I was 5 or 6 years old we had a farm...and I always remember those days as the happiest days of my life. Until I grew up and got happy." This has to be one of the best lines I have ever heard anywhere.
This used to be the highlight of Neil Young concerts as this is a great song that he sang for a long time before he ever put it on record. It remains one of my favorites among the many.
I would love to live on Sugarr Mountain . I love your beautiful voice. . Perfect Mr Neil . We love you ❤❤❤
Anyone who has given this a thumbs down, need to stop listening to this.
Close your eyes, open your mind,and learn to feel it with your heart and soul.
Then you might understand just how talented this man is.
When he's gone it will be a sad sad day.
But the legend of Neil young ,will live on for decades, compared to the junk people call music nowadays.
Indeed so we took out 26 year old daughter 28 yo son to see what real great music sounds like and the genius behind all those magical decades
Exactly.
Sugar Mountain...so long ago...so cherished. So many concerts we shared.....so many songs. Bless you brother
I’m so glad I got to see him yesterday for the first time such a rare experience I’m 16 and love his tunes!😎
Asmr Knight so jealous. I have been a fan for decades and have never seen him live. Had tickets to see him in the 80s but he collapsed on stage the night before. Then bought tickets for his next show, but he cancelled. Think he was wearing down in that tour. He will remain my favorite artist forever. Love him.
That's cool same as my daughters lol
I have always so wished that for an evening I could just sit with him around a campfire while he plays guitar and he would sing and I could sing along with him and it would be such a gift to just be there in that moment together enjoying it all
For all the great rockers Young has some of his most touching songs are like Sugar Mountain, Harvest Moon, Only Love Can Break Your Heart. Young, one of the greats.
Oh This Song, Oh Neil Young! So Much Love and Thanks Right Here!
Thank you Mr. Neil Young!
Neil is a rock god.
It's been such a long time ago and NY still sings w/ such charm and emotion, what a God- given gift! great singer, songwriter, musician, and all.. Gbu Neil Young!
I always cry when I hear this. He mentions mom and dad… mine are gone. I miss childhood…
Neil sings all his songs from the inner soul.
And play
Aww
❤
This is awesome. I saw him at the mother church of country music in Nashville Tennessee a while back with my mom. I’ll never forget it. ❤️
*ALYSE MARY GLAD YOU TOOK THE TIME TO POST YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT FOR US. HARALD.*
I was there...great show..will always remember....thanks
@Hello Steven how are you doing
With Neil AND Willie on stage together, it's understandable where all that smoke is coming from!
Takes me way back, a great song if being young and enjoying the simple things in life. I learned to play many of Neil’s best songs over the years and this is definitely a top ten!!!!😊

This musical arrangement really takes this old song to a new level. Incredible sound with the additional harmonicas and the two guitars.
Bought this album in 1978, at a garage sale. Epic!!! I was 14. Neil is incredible.
What a talent , I'm proud to have known this music
Im sure its a real place, just wish i could go there, Neal young makes it real for me, many thanks anyway.
Sugar Mountain is a real place, its in Avery County, NC
Yes and I am now a caregiver for my Dad. It’s killing me.
Damn that's good.
Love music with real passion thank you Neil
Listening to Neil, I remember when I was a soldier and spent long evenings with my guitar playing his wonderful songs: they touch the soul and the heart! May God keep it for a long time! 🙏
I am kicking back to a great classic. I absolutely adore my man Neil Young. I’m Catherine Powell from the coast of SC
40 years ago, I sang this to my girl friend who was 19 at the time. Fast forward and I still sing it to my girl friend who is still my girl friend that I married 38 years ago. Yes, my wife has to put up with me and loves me for it.
"She does what she has to..."
Keeping in tune
Cool story 👍
This song captures my youth. My dad was the county extension director so very involved with the county fair. My favorite week of the year was the county fair. I would spend from dawn to midnight at the fair. Things changed as I aged but it still was special. The line about the glares as you smoked your first cigarette. Yeah that happened at the fair.
A down to earth musician that plays it like it is. Thanks niel
One of my favorites, brings back so many happy memories with friends!
Love when Neil and Willie have a quick look at each other. That's the magic there folks.
Yeah but…Willie is just sort of standing there…staring…not playing guitar, at all!!
Lolololol
An absolute legend in Canadian music.
In world music.

So many memories...
Still wonderful on this Saturday, 8 February 2014 - thank you!!

Wonderful memories when I hear this tune. Thank you Neil & Willie & so many others for Farm Aid.

Ain't it funny how you feel when you're findin out its real.
What a line. Love it
64 years young stiil love his music too good
I'm 20 yrs. old when I hrd Neil, n I"m 63 now. His voice so wonderful .,.,.
young when I'm listening.
A such a go to song for me. Love you guys! Great harmonics & guitar. Love your voice Neil! So comforting.
You could have conquered the whole world with your magical voice. Hats of.
Not could have but have conquered.
Another one of my favorite Neil Young songs. Love it. Goes through my head for weeks. Oh to live on Sugar Mountain, don't we all wish we could be there forever.
I used to listen to this song all the time when I was young from my brothers album Harvest. That's when everything was beautiful in my world my whole family was alive. Now they all are going and I walk this world alone. That was my sugar melting back when I was young I never had to worry about anyting money no problems all I had was fun with the family. I think of sugar melting as a happy place where nobody gets old and everyone stays Young and Beautiful and there is green grass and nice Meadows and a Babbling Brook with clean water. Just so beautiful and peaceful.
Just remember melted sugar is caramel!
Not only his music is great. He is a great person, charming, polite, humble and simple.
Because he is Canadian. Canadians are very nice humble people.
One time I was driving to a concert (Bridge School Benefit) in California and waiting in line in my car to pay my parking fee. I look over to my right and there's this older dude driving an old 4 door black lincoln with suicide doors. The car was cool, but not mint by any means. It was like a daily driver. The driver of the car, in a funky looking hat, was driving himself and his family to his own concert. It was Neil Young just paying the parking fee like everyone else. He showed up about 1 hour early to the gig. Ok, maybe he was comped for the parking fee. :) A great concert and memory I will never forget. Shoreline Amphitheatre in Bay Area.
