I Learned This Song at the tendure age of 8 years old .My Daddy was A Heroin addict For 15 years It Almost killed Him a Few Times...My Mom Would have to get Heating Blankets And Bring My Dad Back To life....She Would Play This Song in The Early 90s...My Dad Beat The Heroin...And Is Doing Well. Many Years Later. God Bless Everyone

I'm a 64 yr old mom/grandma. I've always always loved Neil Young and thus tune; little did I know when I was young what this song would really mean to me when I became this age. Now I weep, I've lost a son to it and now my daughter is out there somewhere on the streets with the fentinyl.
💐put a silver cord from you to your daughter. Tell her it's time now to come home. Get on your knees together and pray to the Holy Spirit to release the hold of drugs on your daughter. Pray the Lords Prayer out loud together: Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the Kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. Sometimes I feel too upset and weary to read my Bible, but hugging it helps 🌻
Lifting you up in prayer and God can heal. I'm still here because people did not give up on praying for me. Pray that God would put roadblocks in their way. To get their attention in the way God knows how to get there attention. And that they would become so sick and tired of being sick and tired. God never gave up on me even though I gave up on him. God says he will never leave us nor forsake us and he held true to that even though I forsook him. I'm forever grateful for his son Jesus Christ. And I know once people give their lives to Jesus their lives are that much better. Doesn't mean life gets a whole lot better but it makes life a whole lot easier. It makes us stronger as we overcome these things. Plus we can be a help to others. Jesus the way the life and the truth. Seek Jesus will he still can be found. Once you accept Jesus as your lord and savior you will never ever regret it. Life is short and temporary when we die we just don't go into the grave. We either go to heaven or hell. Jesus is the way into heaven. He paid the highest price for us. Do you want to know more go to the site. It's short it's simple it's quick say the prayer at the end your life will never be the same and it'll be so much better. www.peacewithgod.net
Please take these comments with caution, you’re not failing her or anyone- just, if you can, let her know you’re there and you love her and you’ll walk the road to a clean future with her…. You have my love and thoughts
My father passed away last night at the young age of 62. An addict, a business man and not a good father. Whilst clearing his things from his bedside, this was the last song he listened to on his iPad. It saddens me deeply to think of how he felt. All the lies and deceit. No honesty. He was not meant for this planet. Rest in Peace pop
I caught you knockin' at my cellar door I love you, baby, can I have some more? Ooh, ooh, the damage done I hit the city and I lost my band I watched the needle take another man Gone, gone, the damage done I sing the song because I love the man I know that some of you don't understand Milk blood to keep from running out I've seen the needle and the damage done A little part of it in everyone But every junkie's like a settin' sun
I'm a former lonely junkie. Thanks Niel for breaking it down with understanding and NO judgement. I've been needle free over 10 years. The needle has taken good friends I've known. Sorry for the loss of your friend Niel. I relate
My 3rd favorite song my 1st favorite song was I Love You from Climax Blues Band and my 2nd favorite song was Eye In The Sky from The Alan Parsons Project
This song hits me so hard. Listening to it with my old man when I was just a kid. Not knowing years later, how much damage I would do. The needle is an insidious force I can’t describe. Somehow, I haven’t used dope in over 10 years. Nearly as much time as I was strung out. Neil Young is my hero. The final line, “but every junkie’s like a setting sun.” Instant tears, every time.
@Kevin Michael hang and there and don't give up. It is a daily battle, sometimes even minute by minute. Stay away from the people places and things when you were using, and always remember about your playmates and playgrounds.
@Kevin Michael also I just had cervical spine fusion with screws, rods and a titanium plate in the base of my skull to decompress my spinal cord so that I won't end up a quadriplegic. I've been diligent about the pain meds, because there's no way that I could have gotten through this without pain meds. I've been diligent about it though, even keeping track of what time I take each dose. I can't wait until I can get off of them again and go right back to my Suboxone. Like my status, I have a high tolerance for her medication and a low tolerance for pain. The neurosurgeon said this is one of the most painful surgeries that he does. Now I have to have my lower back done for a pinched nerve, but that will probably be a cakewalk compared to this.
Love you Neil. My mom and dad died from from the needle and the damage done. I had a harvest moon with them riding their motorcycles in to also. Love ya buddy
The damage is unreal. I feel for you, and anyone effected by it. My greatest fear is that my son would one day fall into the trap. That would be a death sentence for me.
First time i mainlined heroin a guy was actually playing this on an acoustic in the background....like 1994 or something, im fortunate and very humble to be sober and breathing 🙏
I'm 60 years old. Old hippie, my brother died four years ago from hep c. He was 6 yrs older than me. Which I have to for over 30 years now. I wish it would kick in truly.
You got life to live, I'm sure your brother wants you to live it, you'll be together with him walking the streets of Glory when the time is right, ✌️to you brother.
You can say to me that I’ve been living under a rock but the only and first time I heard this song was in an episode on a German TV series a long time ago.
Just like layne staley said! The drugs worked for so long but now I'm walking thru hell! This drug is like the insulin a diabetic needs to survive! Facts! I truthly do not know how I'm still here! God please help me
I lost my brother Michael to heroine 3 years ago. This song breaks my heart. YOU HAVE THE STRENGTH TO BEAT IT!!! Pray everyday and find your inner strength to check into rehab. You are in my thoughts and prayers. It will be extremely hard to kick, but you can do it. You have so much life ahead of you and your loved ones miss you more than you realize.
God loves you dear, just ask Jesus to help you... praying for you. Had to cold turkey opioids for chronic pain, doctor was a quack. It's so miserable stopping, but when you see the light at the end of the tunnel you start getting all your numbed down senses back. I would never touch them now, my head is clear. Praying for you sweetie, hang in there! 🙋♀️💙✝️🇺🇸 Music sounds good now too!! Food tastes better.. 💙
The Needle And The Damage Done Neil Young I caught you knockin' at my cellar door I love you, baby, can I have some more? Ooh, ooh, the damage done I hit the city and I lost my band I watched the needle take another man Gone, gone, the damage done I sing the song because I love the man I know that some of you don't understand Milk blood to keep from running out I've seen the needle and the damage done A little part of it in everyone But every junkie's like a settin' sun
If there is someone in my life that needs help 🙃🙂,..grace please 🙏do not hesitate to let me know 🙏💖♥😊. Eye love you and I'm here for you unconditionally. Blessings and grace. That's what it's all about. Family, regardless where we originate from,,,,grace and love
@Realneilyoung I'm well, thank you. Sitting here with kittens that need a good home. Hope you're doing well. I have your music playing in morning...Pretty Peggy. Grace ✅
rip andy my brother and proud to say a true natural artist,i know being your little sister that you could draw anything and so real ,i alwasy will remeber you that way
I was homeless on the streets of London, Dover and france in the late 80s early 90s trying to play this song for money lol. I didnt make much but im still alive 🙏 I was at Centrepoint on shaftsbury avenue. Was anyone else there?
This short song encompasses my whole life. I'm clean now, on methadone and for me, that's clean. Some may argue I'm not clean and technically they're right because I am addicted still. BUT I'm not the fiend I used to be. I thank God that I got caught up again several years ago and basically had no other choice than to get back on methadone. I used to hear people say things like that "I thank God" stuff and I didn't get it. I get it now though. I really GET it. We only get one life. It's not all about me anymore. I have a 18 y/o daughter that I'd love to have back in my life someday but she's not coming back if I'm getting high. I lost custody when she was 3 which fueled my addiction even more but I deserved to lose custody bc the dope most definitely came before her or anything/anybody else. My parents are getting older. 30 years blew by and here I am with a clear head and conscience now and realizing that I may only have another 15-20 years with them, if I'm blessed to have them around that long. None of this mattered at all when I was using. I didn't talk to or see any of them for years. So sad. I regret wasting all those decades. So I thank God my back was up against the wall again and the only choice I really had was to get back on the clinic. I'm rambling because this song has always brought up some serious feelings in me. The 1st time I heard it, I was 16 and had just gotten into heroin and the girl I was hanging with, her older brother used to play this song. He was also the one who'd get it for us til we figured it out ourselves. So flash forward, I'm 44 years old and this song just brings up so many feelings. If you read this far, thanks for bearing with my rambling. Hah. I wish all of you peace ✌ and ❤. Edit: 10/1/2024...my mom passed away on 11/30/23 from a glioblastoma (brain tumor). I had a nagging feeling that would not go away that I needed to stay clean and repair my relationships with my parents as I didn't know how much longer I would have with them. That feeling just would not go away. Proof of it in my original comment. I believe everything happens for a reason. I was able to be at my mom's side for six weeks as she became incapacitated by the tumor. I was able to be there for my brother. I was able to repair my relationship with her and I had an amazing two and a half years with my mom and we made lots of memories, my favorite one being when she took me to a Pink Floyd tribute show, just bc she knew they are my favorite band. Anyway, rambling again but seriously, everything happens for a reason. I'm still clean and I got clean at the time that I did for a reason. It was to be there for my mom. I miss her SO MUCH. 💜
Jackie, you should be proud of the leaps you've made. I'm only 4 months clean and on the sub program. In these 4 months I have my 19 year old back in my life, also my mother who's 70. A lot of years wasted that we can't get back. All we can do is be selfless and not selfish anymore and cherish each minute we have with our loved ones God bless you and be well:-)
Don't worry about what other people say about being clean, you have to do what you have to do to be able to live and function in life. I'm right there with you, I've been on Suboxone for ten years, and I am 59 years old. I will stay on this low dose until the day that I die if I'm allowed to, because for the first time in my life I'm able to pay my bills on time, have a little bit of what I want, and even save some money. Nobody has the right to judge us for doing what we have to do to stay alive and function.
If it helps you stay clean and make it another day, then I think it's a blessing. Its no different than taking medicine for mental health issues. Keep going and stay clean.
when your using sadly the only thing you think of is where your next hit is coming from. It's not even to get off you head, it's just to function. Sad, bad days, wasted years.
@@robbiemonsebroten6738 so crazy that I'm back at this comment because someone commented on my original comment. My mom passed away from a brain tumor on 11/30/23. I'm not sure of the exact date I wrote that original comment but it's crazy bc I really believe I got clean at that time for a reason. So that I could be there for my mom in the last six weeks of her life as she became completely incapacitated by the brain tumor. And prior to the tumor, I was able to repair my relationship with her and we had an amazing 2 and a half years and made lots of memories. I miss her so much. I truly believe EVERYTHING happens for a reason. And that nagging feeling about my parents getting older was a major reason behind me getting and staying clean. And what ended up happening is proof to me that everything happens for a reason. 💜
Sweetheart, I know you can do it. I'm a 70yr old woman now and my husband used for 30yrs. It was bittersweet when he died at 50yrs old 24yrs ago. They took him from jail to the hospital where he died. He was tired and his heart gave out. It makes it very hard on the kids as well. Please be positive and reprogram your brain to think differently. It definitely can be done and your Divine Team are ready to help. Ask your spirit guide for direction on your new journey. My best to your new beginning. I send you peace, love and light
Jesus is the go to, not spirit guides who aren't God! Praying for you, been through it, 8 years clean. One day at a time sweet Jesus. He's got this, call on His mighty name, He loves you! 🙋♀️✝️🇺🇸💙
A haunting song that's based on what Neil has witnessed in the rock lives around him, particularly Crazy Horse guitarist Danny Whitten. Neil has never been more emotionally intuitive. And he accomplishes this in just two minutes with his voice, acoustic guitar and a great, simple tune.
My father played Neil Young for me a lot as a child, unfortunately a car accident roughed him up a lot.. 18 years later and he’s still addicted to the pain killers. I love you Dad, I wish I could do something for you, but I fear you need to want the help.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL BE SAFE AND CAREFUL PLEASE MASK UP WHEN NEEDED TO PLEASE LIVE THE GOLDEN RULE TREAT OTHERS LIKE THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED WITH RESPECT AND HONESTY JIM K FROM PHILLY WAY
Ma vie de 17 à 22 ans. The damage done.. Tant d'amis partis trop tôt, tant de dégâts, même si " i know that some of you don't understand ". Neil a tout compris, cette chanson est bouleversante.
Gotta give thanks to my ex girlfriends dad who was a huge Neil Young fan playing his songs at their house frequently. Don’t think I would have come across Neil without him. Or it would have taken a longer time to discover him. Thanks Peter :)
Daily IV user here, fent has destroyed my life repeatedly, at the moment I feel like I'm in control, but in reality. I know control is something Ill never possess again. I've watched it kill my closest friend just last christmas, breaks my mfn heart. Poor kid, at least i know he's not struggling with that demon anymore. Lord watch over me on my journey, and anyone else going through similar
Praying for you sweetheart... 8 years free of pain meds for chronic pain, did it cold turkey. It was bad, but I'll never use them again. Jesus will get you through it one day at a time. May He bless you with healing, and yes, it can be done 🙋♀️✝️🇺🇸💙
Lost my mate not long ago RIP Shaun breckon miss you heaps brother 🙏 He didn't pass from an od he passed with his beautiful partner and his lovely children I will keep watch over them brother you rest now 🙏
I’ve been addicted to opiates and booze, any kind of downer, on and off for 20 years. It’s all a slow road to death. I’ve kept away from alcohol for 12 years now.. But as any addict knows, once an addict, always an addict. It’s a daily battle with the grim reaper continually moving closer on the chess board. Love and gratitude are the anchors that hold you from the turbulent sea right outside your little bay of temporary sobriety. To those who make it more than a few years free from everything after years of addiction - I commend you. It’s more than I’ve been able to do.
Happy Birthday Neil Young born on November 12, 1945. He is a Canadian and American singer-songwriter. After embarking on a music career in Winnipeg in the 1960s, Young moved to Los Angeles, joining the folk-rock group Buffalo Springfield. He was also a part-time member of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, with whom he recorded the chart-topping 1970 album Déjà Vu. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Young
I wonder if this is David... I had a friend I lost way too young who was inspired to play by Neil Young. He in turn inspired me to play. When I play this song I think of him.
"I do not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it." *Voltaire I believe the music beauty is in the ear of the beholder.😂 I wanna hear you post a🎥vid of yourself singing, if ya'don't mind? 🌹Merci beaucoup. (; 🇨🇦✌🏻🎶♥️(+🇺🇦)✨🌎💫
Been 10yrs since I touched the needle but still on meds to keep me from relapsing. Lost so many friends I can't think about it without tearing up. Worst of all I couldn't be there for my lil bro when he needed me most and the ashes around my neck are all that is left of him. All the overdoses, fights, gunfights, pure hell to get high and I survived but my amazing brother lost his life and he wasn't a junkie. I'd do anything to switch places with him. I'm so sorry Nick, the damage is done
the fent just took my brother, gone forever is a trip man.
Sorry brother ! 🥲🥲
My sincere condolences friend. If you ever need anything just comment again and I’ll reply.
Sorry RIP lost my cousin in January same way it’s been so hard and sad when I contemplate it but we need to grieve
Sorry to hear......Be strong..He'd sure want you to be
It took mine in February he was only 18 😭 I’m so sorry you’re suffering with the same thing.
We started as strangers.
We fell and became family
We started with a, "Hi,"
Ended with a lie.
6 yrs clean, I was an Iv heroin user for 10 yrs. This song brings tears to my eyes everytime.
Congratulations, 5 for me.
@RamblinJer I love hearing it man, Mush love
Nice job 👏🏻👏🏻
God bless you Brother.
Heroin use 45 years. Clean 9

Coming up on 6 months sober. Peace and love to you all.
I'm very happy and proud of you 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤
Abosoloty the truth in this song. 7 years with my girl. She left....I relapsed. But I'm clean now. Just trying to pick up the pieces. I wronged her. I love you Melanie 💞 Lord please bring me back everything I Lost to my stupid decisions. She is my other half..
A day at a time Joseph….
Keep ya head up king!! Like andy said, one day at a time!!
Thanks guys, I've been trying too, I can literally only live one day at a time.
Tournez vous vers Dieu il peut et veut restaurer votre vie il vous aime Dieu est amour . Priez et demandez lui pardon de tout votre coeur. Que Dieu vous bénisse.
Keep your head up young king she is always watching and she's proud of you for being clean
Lost my dad due to cancer last year he used to play this song for me as a kid and I just hit 60 days sober from fetty
chr3801: GOOD FOR YOU! 60 days sober can turn into 60 years if you're lucky... keep up the good work and never go down!

Congratulations on your sobriety!
This song reminds me of my dad from my childhood too…. About to hit 6 years from same shit you got it 🎉❤

Lotta people who are not meant for this world.

I caught you knockin' at my cellar door
I love you, baby, can I have some more?
Ooh, ooh, the damage done
I hit the city and I lost my band
I watched the needle take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done
I sing the song because I love the man
I know that some of you don't understand
Milk blood to keep from running out
I've seen the needle and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's like a settin' sun
NEIL YOUNG IS IN A CLASS BY HIMSELF.
Rest easy to those no longer with us and those still using. God bless every junkie and their loved ones
Really miss when his music was on Spotify
Silly fool letting politics plague the music he has produced shutting down future / existing audiences wont do him any favours
Irony is this song could be about the so called covid vaccines
@@mattmaccaronio5990Yeah, Old Neil really sang for Pfizer and Moderna.
It isn't just singing for Pepsi and Coke that makes you look like a joke..
What are Y’all even talking about
good news
It got both my brother and sister to this shit….see you both soon RIP
It got my brother and my sister RIP see you soon
I'm a former lonely junkie. Thanks Niel for breaking it down with understanding and NO judgement. I've been needle free over 10 years. The needle has taken good friends I've known. Sorry for the loss of your friend Niel. I relate

That last line always chills me.
9 years clean. There is hope. Be good and if you cant, be careful.
"Every junkie's like a setting sun". A setting sun always rises the next day, so yes it is a message of hope.

"I am not a preacher, but drugs killed a lot of great men." - Neil Young
Without a doubt one of the finest songs ever written. Easy to say but it’s the truth.
About Danny Whitten.
Truth indeed.
This song speaks to so many of us who personally understand.....deeply given, deeply felt....Neil Young, bless your heart......Jackieblue💙💙✌
Love you Neil. My mom and dad died from from the needle and the damage done. I had a harvest moon with them riding their motorcycles in to also. Love ya buddy
So sorry to hear that pal 😞
I recently lost my Dad too, it hurts, lost a part of myself along with him 💔
I'm very sorry
Hope it doing ok buddy hi from Ireland 😢
The damage is unreal. I feel for you, and anyone effected by it. My greatest fear is that my son would one day fall into the trap. That would be a death sentence for me.
3 weeks sober. Hanging on.
When we in the '60's and in the folk music scene finally started seeing the damage done by drugs, and it went on and on and on... oh, the damage done
I’m a recovering opiate addict and this is for my brother Kevin who lost the battle way to young RIP BRO love ya
I gave up on addiction 36 years ago.
Stay in recovery and live a life worthy of the both of you.
Almost lost my brother a while back to opiate OD. Just a matter of time if he keeps using. Sorry for your loss!
One of the best songs written about addiction
I have lost many, but have never lost myself....yet
3 years off iv dope and i couldn't ever imagine going back to that insanity,it took enough from me and i still pay for it every day ...
That's great your sober I got clean about a month ago after a good friend pass due to drugs hang in there
First time i mainlined heroin a guy was actually playing this on an acoustic in the background....like 1994 or something, im fortunate and very humble to be sober and breathing 🙏
I'm 60 years old. Old hippie, my brother died four years ago from hep c. He was 6 yrs older than me. Which I have to for over 30 years now. I wish it would kick in truly.
You got life to live, I'm sure your brother wants you to live it, you'll be together with him walking the streets of Glory when the time is right, ✌️to you brother.
I fell in love with this song when I was about 11 and it was new. Now I'm a 64 yo rehab nurse and it's still sad with just a wisp of hope...
I'm surprised this isn't the most listened to song lately. I know I've listened to it many times, I'm glad those days are over.
Been reading skag boys, never knew neil wrote something like this.
You can say to me that I’ve been living under a rock but the only and first time I heard this song was in an episode on a German TV series a long time ago.
For me this song and 'The Pusher' by Steppenwolf are two of the most visceral anti drug songs I've ever listened to.
Just like layne staley said! The drugs worked for so long but now I'm walking thru hell! This drug is like the insulin a diabetic needs to survive! Facts! I truthly do not know how I'm still here! God please help me
I lost my brother Michael to heroine 3 years ago. This song breaks my heart. YOU HAVE THE STRENGTH TO BEAT IT!!! Pray everyday and find your inner strength to check into rehab. You are in my thoughts and prayers. It will be extremely hard to kick, but you can do it. You have so much life ahead of you and your loved ones miss you more than you realize.
God loves you dear, just ask Jesus to help you... praying for you. Had to cold turkey opioids for chronic pain, doctor was a quack. It's so miserable stopping, but when you see the light at the end of the tunnel you start getting all your numbed down senses back. I would never touch them now, my head is clear. Praying for you sweetie, hang in there! 🙋♀️💙✝️🇺🇸 Music sounds good now too!! Food tastes better.. 💙
The Needle And The Damage Done
Neil Young
I caught you knockin' at my cellar door
I love you, baby, can I have some more?
Ooh, ooh, the damage done
I hit the city and I lost my band
I watched the needle take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done
I sing the song because I love the man
I know that some of you don't understand
Milk blood to keep from running out
I've seen the needle and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's like a settin' sun
Brutal, very Brutal, right between the Eyes
If there is someone in my life that needs help 🙃🙂,..grace please 🙏do not hesitate to let me know 🙏💖♥😊. Eye love you and I'm here for you unconditionally. Blessings and grace. That's what it's all about. Family, regardless where we originate from,,,,grace and love
@Realneilyoung I'm well, thank you. Sitting here with kittens that need a good home. Hope you're doing well. I have your music playing in morning...Pretty Peggy. Grace ✅
Take care
@Realneilyoung grew up listening, still listening. Keeps one grounded you know.
rip andy my brother and proud to say a true natural artist,i know being your little sister that you could draw anything and so real ,i alwasy will remeber you that way
I was homeless on the streets of London, Dover and france in the late 80s early 90s trying to play this song for money lol. I didnt make much but im still alive 🙏
I was at Centrepoint on shaftsbury avenue. Was anyone else there?
This short song encompasses my whole life. I'm clean now, on methadone and for me, that's clean. Some may argue I'm not clean and technically they're right because I am addicted still. BUT I'm not the fiend I used to be. I thank God that I got caught up again several years ago and basically had no other choice than to get back on methadone. I used to hear people say things like that "I thank God" stuff and I didn't get it. I get it now though. I really GET it. We only get one life. It's not all about me anymore. I have a 18 y/o daughter that I'd love to have back in my life someday but she's not coming back if I'm getting high. I lost custody when she was 3 which fueled my addiction even more but I deserved to lose custody bc the dope most definitely came before her or anything/anybody else. My parents are getting older. 30 years blew by and here I am with a clear head and conscience now and realizing that I may only have another 15-20 years with them, if I'm blessed to have them around that long. None of this mattered at all when I was using. I didn't talk to or see any of them for years. So sad. I regret wasting all those decades. So I thank God my back was up against the wall again and the only choice I really had was to get back on the clinic. I'm rambling because this song has always brought up some serious feelings in me. The 1st time I heard it, I was 16 and had just gotten into heroin and the girl I was hanging with, her older brother used to play this song. He was also the one who'd get it for us til we figured it out ourselves. So flash forward, I'm 44 years old and this song just brings up so many feelings. If you read this far, thanks for bearing with my rambling. Hah. I wish all of you peace ✌ and ❤. Edit: 10/1/2024...my mom passed away on 11/30/23 from a glioblastoma (brain tumor). I had a nagging feeling that would not go away that I needed to stay clean and repair my relationships with my parents as I didn't know how much longer I would have with them. That feeling just would not go away. Proof of it in my original comment. I believe everything happens for a reason. I was able to be at my mom's side for six weeks as she became incapacitated by the tumor. I was able to be there for my brother. I was able to repair my relationship with her and I had an amazing two and a half years with my mom and we made lots of memories, my favorite one being when she took me to a Pink Floyd tribute show, just bc she knew they are my favorite band. Anyway, rambling again but seriously, everything happens for a reason. I'm still clean and I got clean at the time that I did for a reason. It was to be there for my mom. I miss her SO MUCH. 💜
Jackie, you should be proud of the leaps you've made. I'm only 4 months clean and on the sub program. In these 4 months I have my 19 year old back in my life, also my mother who's 70. A lot of years wasted that we can't get back. All we can do is be selfless and not selfish anymore and cherish each minute we have with our loved ones God bless you and be well:-)
Don't worry about what other people say about being clean, you have to do what you have to do to be able to live and function in life. I'm right there with you, I've been on Suboxone for ten years, and I am 59 years old. I will stay on this low dose until the day that I die if I'm allowed to, because for the first time in my life I'm able to pay my bills on time, have a little bit of what I want, and even save some money. Nobody has the right to judge us for doing what we have to do to stay alive and function.
If it helps you stay clean and make it another day, then I think it's a blessing. Its no different than taking medicine for mental health issues. Keep going and stay clean.
when your using sadly the only thing you think of is where your next hit is coming from. It's not even to get off you head, it's just to function. Sad, bad days, wasted years.
@@robbiemonsebroten6738 so crazy that I'm back at this comment because someone commented on my original comment. My mom passed away from a brain tumor on 11/30/23. I'm not sure of the exact date I wrote that original comment but it's crazy bc I really believe I got clean at that time for a reason. So that I could be there for my mom in the last six weeks of her life as she became completely incapacitated by the brain tumor. And prior to the tumor, I was able to repair my relationship with her and we had an amazing 2 and a half years and made lots of memories. I miss her so much. I truly believe EVERYTHING happens for a reason. And that nagging feeling about my parents getting older was a major reason behind me getting and staying clean. And what ended up happening is proof to me that everything happens for a reason. 💜
This song brings tears to my eyes for my friend Scott Weiland...
Miss you Buddy
Im 48 years young and been an iv heroin user for 30 years. Im waiting for a place in Rehab. Wish me luck and pray for me everyone, hell i need it.
Sweetheart, I know you can do it.
I'm a 70yr old woman now and my husband used for 30yrs. It was bittersweet when he died at 50yrs old 24yrs ago. They took him from jail to the hospital where he died. He was tired and his heart gave out. It makes it very hard on the kids as well.
Please be positive and reprogram your brain to think differently.
It definitely can be done and your Divine Team are ready to help.
Ask your spirit guide for direction on your new journey. My best to your new beginning. I send you peace, love and light
Jesus is the go to, not spirit guides who aren't God! Praying for you, been through it, 8 years clean. One day at a time sweet Jesus. He's got this, call on His mighty name, He loves you! 🙋♀️✝️🇺🇸💙
Such a great and noble song....Thanks from Italy
Let's Not Forget Steppenwolf's Snowblind Friend ! 🎸😎🎸
A haunting song that's based on what Neil has witnessed in the rock lives around him, particularly Crazy Horse guitarist Danny Whitten. Neil has never been more emotionally intuitive. And he accomplishes this in just two minutes with his voice, acoustic guitar and a great, simple tune.
For such a short and simple song, this is incredibly powerful, and you can tell it's because it's heartfelt by him.
I Feel YA Brother😢❤, it's Going To Be Okay Man
One of the best songs ever written imo. Penned for his friend and Crazy Horse member Danny Whitten.
My father played Neil Young for me a lot as a child, unfortunately a car accident roughed him up a lot.. 18 years later and he’s still addicted to the pain killers. I love you Dad, I wish I could do something for you, but I fear you need to want the help.
"Every junkie's like a setting sun"
Back again tomorrow
this was my favorite album when I was a young hippie girl
Those were the days, huh?
Every mothers' son
live in me
thru this song.
Sad to be so callous
as a son
find your home.
Godspeed.
Love neil young his music is great I am a fan thank you neil ❤
absolutely my favoriite neil young song.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL BE SAFE AND CAREFUL PLEASE MASK UP WHEN NEEDED TO PLEASE LIVE THE GOLDEN RULE TREAT OTHERS LIKE THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED WITH RESPECT AND HONESTY JIM K FROM PHILLY WAY
Ma vie de 17 à 22 ans. The damage done..
Tant d'amis partis trop tôt, tant de dégâts, même si " i know that some of you don't understand ". Neil a tout compris, cette chanson est bouleversante.
I survived the needle and the damage done 💉
Missing an arm, but I regained control of my life ❤️
My favourite Neil young song.
It's so fresh and alive the best acoustic recording that grabs you if you play the acoustic guitar guitar 🎸
Great song
Gotta give thanks to my ex girlfriends dad who was a huge Neil Young fan playing his songs at their house frequently. Don’t think I would have come across Neil without him. Or it would have taken a longer time to discover him. Thanks Peter :)
Daily IV user here, fent has destroyed my life repeatedly, at the moment I feel like I'm in control, but in reality. I know control is something Ill never possess again. I've watched it kill my closest friend just last christmas, breaks my mfn heart. Poor kid, at least i know he's not struggling with that demon anymore. Lord watch over me on my journey, and anyone else going through similar
Praying for you sweetheart... 8 years free of pain meds for chronic pain, did it cold turkey. It was bad, but I'll never use them again. Jesus will get you through it one day at a time. May He bless you with healing, and yes, it can be done 🙋♀️✝️🇺🇸💙
Every great song is about drugs love and losses
Yup...the good things in life
Lost my mate not long ago RIP Shaun breckon miss you heaps brother 🙏
He didn't pass from an od he passed with his beautiful partner and his lovely children
I will keep watch over them brother you rest now 🙏
Muchas gracias, buena música .siempre .
NEIL YOUNG GENIUSZ GENIUSZ GENIUSZ nad GENIUSZAMI KOSMOS KOCHANI na zawsze dziękuję BARDZO i MIŁOŚĆ ☮️ POKÓJ MUZYKA tak
I’ve been addicted to opiates and booze, any kind of downer, on and off for 20 years. It’s all a slow road to death. I’ve kept away from alcohol for 12 years now.. But as any addict knows, once an addict, always an addict. It’s a daily battle with the grim reaper continually moving closer on the chess board. Love and gratitude are the anchors that hold you from the turbulent sea right outside your little bay of temporary sobriety. To those who make it more than a few years free from everything after years of addiction - I commend you. It’s more than I’ve been able to do.
god bless you sweetheart - may your remaining days be filled with peace and love
Keep on strong!!!!
Happy Birthday Neil Young born on November 12, 1945. He is a Canadian and American singer-songwriter. After embarking on a music career in Winnipeg in the 1960s, Young moved to Los Angeles, joining the folk-rock group Buffalo Springfield. He was also a part-time member of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, with whom he recorded the chart-topping 1970 album Déjà Vu. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Young
Was at a show and this was played
Not all addicts are ‘junkies’
Keep strong people
& be kind
🙏🏼
Beautiful 😍
Masterpiece.
Ich habe genau das erlebt❤
takes on a whole new meaning now
Oh yeah? Elaborate. 😂
I jacked pharmacies in the 70s on my kz900. Too support my habit!! Never got caught but questioned a lot!! I relate big time, clean 30 years!!!
I love this album and song. ❤ I’ve driven in many snow storms and traffic jams listening to this album. You’ve kept me calm. Thank you very much. ❤️
Hello jenny,
How are you,
Which of my song is your favorite
Love this album this guy was my dad's inspiration to play music
I wonder if this is David... I had a friend I lost way too young who was inspired to play by Neil Young. He in turn inspired me to play. When I play this song I think of him.
Paul McCartney, then Neil Young. My two favorite singers. Love this album. Thanks for posting
Neil Young's voice might not be pretty, but it will never be mistaken for anyone else's.
"I do not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
*Voltaire
I believe the music beauty is in the ear of the beholder.😂
I wanna hear you post a🎥vid of yourself singing, if ya'don't mind?
🌹Merci beaucoup. (;
🇨🇦✌🏻🎶♥️(+🇺🇦)✨🌎💫
His voice is amazing pffff
I love Neil's voice. It's like no other I've ever heard. For me, it is very pleasing to my ears.
Neil created the music and he wrote the words.
Only his voice can reveal the essential pain in this song.
Well I love the harshness in his voice. Always liked sandpaper singing.
Rest easy, Brad Barron Renfro ❤💔
Darko before Donnie. Caught you knocking at my cellar door.
Music you can listen to a party, a camp ground, anywhere listen in your bedroom to relax to.
Perfection
great song !!
Just say Yes
I quit cold turkey. It was hell but it beats the damage done...or rehab
Anytime I need to ball my eyes out
Been 10yrs since I touched the needle but still on meds to keep me from relapsing. Lost so many friends I can't think about it without tearing up. Worst of all I couldn't be there for my lil bro when he needed me most and the ashes around my neck are all that is left of him. All the overdoses, fights, gunfights, pure hell to get high and I survived but my amazing brother lost his life and he wasn't a junkie. I'd do anything to switch places with him. I'm so sorry Nick, the damage is done
This................... till the end of time..................
Harvest - my favorite of his solo work.
One of the best albums in a decade filled with great albums.
Truer words to a song there cannot be
