@@DD-sr9xm I can't agree with that, sorry. Why would the young man say he's "been first and last, look at how the time has passed, I'm all alone at last?", after saying "run around the same old town". These are not the words of a young man, at all. To me, it's obvious the writer is interested in the old man, and his life, but the old man couldn't care less.
The caretaker's name was Louie and he had lived on the ranch most of his life and knew every inch of it, personally. It was previously named the "Lazy Double L" ranch by the two attorney's who owned it as hobby ranch. Louie came with the ranch as one of it's most valuable assets when they themselves bought it and he stayed with it when they sold it to Neil. Neil renamed it "The Broken Arrow Ranch". Louie lived on and cared for it with all his heart and soul and Neil, as the new, young (no pun intended) owner was astounded at his utter dedication and devotion to it. The ranch itself is what the line "doesn't mean that much to me, to mean that much to you" is about. Neil grew to love the ranch as much as he grew to love and admire Louie and his outlook on life...or so they say.
On February 1, 1972, I hitchhiked with a buddy 80 miles to Pittsburgh in a blizzard to buy the Harvest album on the day of its release. I will never forget that when we were walking on the ramp from I-79 north to I-80 west in a foot of snow, an angel of a mother with her two kids in the car, stopped in a blizzard to give us a ride. There are so many great songs on this album including Old Man, and I still regularly listen to them today!
@@livesalone And he were able to capture what we were feeling at that time (I'm of that generation) the line "we are finally on our own" hit home, the government does not care about us. Neil wrote the song after 4 students was killed by the national guard at a peaceful protest.
Johnny Cash - righteous! Among the best classic country musicians. His deep voice and Neil's high vocals would have made a unique and groundbreaking duet.
I love this intimate performance with just Neil & his guitar (harmonica). He was only 27 when he recorded this song as a young man. Now he is an older man at 77 years old. Neil is a very talented musician, singer & songwriter. He was with the groups Buffalo Springfield & Crosby, Stills & Nash in the later 60's. Also had his own group with Crazy Horse for a few years. Neil went solo & has had so many great songs over the years. The albums "After The Gold Rush" & "Harvest" from the 70's are considered 2 of his best.
I got to see him recently, well, within the last 5 years, and that’s exactly what it was. Just him and his guitar. Well, guitars. He was surrounded by them. Had about half a dozen around him and his chair. It was amazing! So glad I had that opportunity!
Neil Young’s early music like “Old Man” was one of my favorite songs in middle school back in the early 1970’s. His Harvest album is still won of my favorites. I’m 12 years old again when I listen to it and it takes me back to a simpler time in my life ❤ I saw him in concert in Phoenix, AZ for my birthday sometime in the 2000’s. He was awesome 👏
I was 19 when this came out. I enjoy it just as much now at 70, but in a different way. Much more relevant now. Neil Young is legendary. And Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young was one of my favorite groups.
Neil Young is a Legend , One of the Great Singer/ Songwriter , solo , with Crosby , Stills , Nash & Young , right up there with McCartney & Lennon , Simon & Garfunkel , Frey & Henley of the Eagles , the 60's & 70's Music was Magic , Real Music . Thanks
I used to lay on my bed as a teenager, with my brother's hand me down earphones and record player, listening to Gordon Lightfoot over and over. Our home grown Canadian boy. ❤
Neil has so many great songs to recommend. He started out in a band called "Buffalo Springfield" and wrote and sang "Mr Soul". Some other songs are "Cinnamon Girl" and "Everybody Knows This Nowhere" and "Down By the River". His albums from the early 70s include "After the Gold Rush" and "Harvest" albums which rank are up there with the best in rock. Check out "Don't Let It Bring You Own" and "Southern Man".
I just saw Neil Young a few months ago. He only played one "hit". The rest of the songs were deep tracks and songs that he never released. He meandered all over the stage playing all the different instruments. As someone who grew up with this man's music, it felt like a great honor to see it live. He was funny too while talking to the audience. Try Harvest Moon, Rockin' in the Free World, Cinnamon Girl etc. You can't go wrong really.
You are so right. "Decade" is probably the greatest album in my vinyl collection - and that is a mid-career greatest hits album. He has produced such an amazing range of songs.
Sebs, your wife is beautiful. She has a natural beauty…beautiful in an evening gown and beautiful in sweats with her hair pulled up and no make up I would imagine. Even more, she’s not arrogant! That makes her even prettier! Looks like you hit the jackpot!
Neil Young has a totally distinctive voice, just a 24-year-old guy with an acoustic guitar. That total talent. Neil is an incredible musician, songwriter, and singer who has always done things his own way. Also considered to be the grandfather of grunge. Famous in Crosby Still and Nash. Another Canadian music icon.
Hard to believe he and Rick James were in a successful band together up in Canada. Rick being the lead vocalist. But then he had to come back to the states and face the music of his going to Canada and avoid Vietnam. Neil Young...always true to himself.
Living legend. And he still creates tons of music. Have seen him live multiple times. You never know what Neil you are gonna see. Folk rock, hard rock, jam rock, protest rock. But its always worth it.
I remember when Neil Young was part of a special performance for Africa. David Foster, the producer said to Neil, "you are a bit flat" and Neil responded, "that's my thing". That might have been what your friend was talking about.
Record companies and producers wanted him to write and play guitar, but not sing his own songs, they wanted to get someone else to sing. He turned them all down until he found a producer that would let him play and sing
Neil Young Gave The Band, CSN&Y his song, "Expecting To Fly," right before he quit the band. Crosby later said he felt stupid for being surprised at Neil's departure, as he said goodbye in the song.
Well that just melted me. I remember when this came out! I was a kid. I’m 60 now and that old man. Life imitating art. Saw Mr. Young a few times by himself and with his band Crazy Horse! Memories! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Well said my man. Just turned 60 as well and this takes me back too. Glad we both made it to be “old” men, graced through the years with this amazing artist. 🤘🏼🎧🤟🏼
@@papacarl2002I am an old lady, about to turn 61 in 4 days 😅. My mom was going through a divorce when I was 11 and turned me on to Neil. I will always treasure those days and the music that reminds me 💕. God bless you!!
I was 20 years old when this song came out. I look at it differently at 71. I still enjoy the song and most of Neil Young's songs. How many modern "artists" could walk out on stage by themselves and captivate an audience? He also plays some of the nastiest electric guitar you have heard. Listen to "Rockin' in the Free World."
If you haven’t listened to The Cats in the Cradle by Harry Chapin, you and Ali should. He was a fantastic storyteller Taxi is always a famous song. He was a known humanitarian also.
As a Brit who has adored Harry since Short Stories came out , who saw him live not long before he died thank you . Harry is the greatest story teller in song ever .
To me, this song is Neil realizing that the older man had dreams and a life ahead of him, and he's looking back on his actual life's journey. Now, Neil is looking forward to his life to live with all his dreams and goals yet to come.
who needs a freakin band when you're this talented. The texturing and layering- -the back and forth with the highs and lows---knowing when to let the notes breathe--what notes to play softly and when to pounce on a note or chord is so missing in today's music. True musicianship and composing at the highest level.
Ali, you are beautiful!! Worn out from the day suits you! I can't imagine how beautiful you would be first thing in the morning, made up and fresh! 😆😆💋😻💋💃😎🍹👵🐺🌵
I believe that if you search for 'Cortez the Killer, the best version ' live, you will see him at his finest. I got to see him in the early 80's at a music festival while doing my 2nd tour of duty while in the US Army. I have an almost 3yrs older sister and I have been listening to him since the Buffalo Springfield days.
Makes me think of my father and grandfather. We had our differences, but as I age I realize I have become just like them. You 2 are so lucky to have each other and are such a cute couple and everyone can see the love in your eyes for each other. Best wishes from Pennsylvania.
Great reaction. I love Neil Young,as did my Dad. He played it for me from the time I was a tiny baby. He can probably be considered as Canada’s greatest musician. For a good retrospective I would recommend For What It’s Worth - Buffalo Springfield (first major band), Ohio - CSNY, , Needle and The Damage Done, Down By The River, Rockin’ In The Free World. My favourite is probably Helpless. Check out the Last Waltz performance of Helpless with help from The Band and Joni Mitchell. 🇨🇦
"Helpless" was written about Omemee, Ontario (just down the road from me), population about 1,020, where Neil spent some summers as a young man & his father lived just outside of town.
Highly recommend a protest song written by Neil Young and recorded by C, S, N and Y. In 1970 five students who were participating in an anti-war protest at Kent State in Ohio, were gunned down by National Guards troops. Neil Young wrote a protest song that day called Ohio. It went on to become one of the most moving songs of that time. Hope you can find the time to react to it. Thanks for Old Man by NY. 👏👏🥰
I remember when Ohio State protests and murder of students by the National Guard. Horrific. Neil wrote the song Ohio and you can feel the pain of that time. CSNY. 1970
when you mentioned his unusual chords and leaned forward to see, he was playing, it was a D chord shape up on the 5th fret which makes it a version or inversion of an F chord.
With Neil Young you get various different styles. There's mellow Neil, rockin' Neil, country Neil, experimental Neil, electric Neil, acoustic Neil, folk Neil, rockabilly Neil.
Neil is just a genius songwriter. He's got soooo many greats songs. I saw him solo in about 1983, and it's still one of the greatest shows I've ever seen. He's unbelievably talented.... Neil sings in falsetto all the time because he doesn't like his regular voice.
Ive been a fan of Niel since the Buffalo Springfield and then Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and on to solo career. You should explore all those aspects of his writing and playing.
Saw them 4 times… Vancouver bc. Simply beyond fabulous, authentic meaningful, bloody great music period. Each musician is brilliant. First time Vanilla Fudge was the lead band, LZ blew them away.
Neil is a musical Icon. His discography is immense. Might I suggest you check out his song Philadelphia that he wrote for the movie Philadelphia it's a tear jerker I will tell you that.
Neil was inspired to write this by the old caretaker (Louis Avila) of the 'Broken arrow ranch' that Neil bought in 1970. ~ Love Neil's voice & his music. He is a poet.
One of my favorite songs. The Harvest album is fabulous. The Needle and the Damage Done will rip your heart out. His album with Crazy Horse is amazing. Cinnamon Girl is a great song on it. It's a rabbit hole worth digging into
One name…”Cream’ so nice to hear young people appreciate my generations music…and yes,no modifying their voices …even earlier..50’sthey had to sing the entire song in one take…
Remember watching him perform in concert in the sixties very talented and what a lyrical master great song writing. One of s few that write, play and sing his own music.
I haven't stopped listening. I'm sure you never heard. Luke the Drifter, " The Bad Girl Down the Street". What a great story teller and a tear jerker. That makes one look at gossip differently.
I don't know where to start. I should write a book about my experience with Neil and his music. I was 19 when I first heard one of Neil's songs. When I say one of Neil's songs, because I went to a dance hall in Houston one summer night in '70, and a very popular local rock / psychedelic band was performing - Fever Tree. As I walked in, they were playing "Nowadays Clancy Cant Even Sing".... As I walked around the place, something about those lyrics and kudos to Michael Keller the lead singer. He had such a raspy bluesy voice, the lyrics just seem to capture my attention. At the end of the night and as an encore they performed the song again and this time I was at the side of stage, totally mesmerized by the song. It was a few months later, as I was listening on the radio, a broadcast of Neil at Royce Hall, that I found out it was his song! Before that evening I thought it was one of Fever Tree's. That evening, Jan. 30, 1971, my birthday, became a major game changer for me. That concert of Neil's and especially when he sung Sugar Mountain was THAT moment in my life that took me in a musical direction I am so blessed to have experienced the 7 decades with Neil and so many others from that era. Sebs, if you do a deep dive into Neil's music, its going to be a very deep dive. His discography is immense! However that being said, there is a song he performed on his Live Weld album, in '91, that's actually a cover of his dear friend.... Bob Dylan. Its "Blowin in the Wind" His guitar playing, the soulful emotion he puts into that song is other- worldly. If there ever will be a song and how its performed by Neil on that album, to become a global anthem for world peace it would be his electric version of Bob's prophetic lyrics. Peace out ruclips.net/video/fjaZTJkwLRs/видео.htmlsi=2WcgnQqQCaoZeKyS
Loved that you've done Neil Young, he's one of my favourites, but I nearly spat my tea out at the Paul McCartney comment 😂 May I respectfully suggest you go back and take another look? I seem to have spent half my life saying "I didn't know Lennon/McCartney wrote that"!
Plus Lennon and Mccartney changed music for ever. Every musician that came after them were influenced by them to this day. They opened the door to modern music. Sergeant peppers changed everything.
If you want one you have probably heard, it's heart of gold. I believe they were on the Same album. He also sang that at the same concert as this performance.

The old man was the care taker of a ranch Neil had purchased. Their talks were the inspiration for the song.
As an old man, I can agree with the line, "It doesn't mean that much to me, to mean that much to you."
It meant just as much when I was a young man.😊
There’s something about turning 50 and my attitude changed too!!❤.
Um it’s the younger man who owns the ranch saying “it doesn’t mean that much to me to mean that much to you” … it means I employ you, do what I want

This is true. i saw Neil interviewed and he revealed Louie asked him how does someone as young as you get to buy this ranch? Neil loved Louie.
@@Boogie597
He answered I guess I am lucky real lucky
I find his voice hauntingly beautiful.
Neil Young survived paralyzing polio as a child. That he can pick guitar like this is impressive

Beautiful. We had a different relationship with music back then, how we listened to it and appreciated it and owned it.
Neil Young's voice has a hainting quality to it. He's a legend and Canadian ❤
I know you meant "haunting"... 🤣
A strong suggestion for Neil Young reactions - The Needle And The Damage Done.
Watch him live play Heart of Gold where he not only plays guitar and sings, but plays the harmonica too. It still amazes me.
Ohio is one of my favourite songs by Neil Young. He's a social warrior. it's a deep song
Wasn't that Crosby Stills,Nash and Young? Not just Neil?

Long time Neil Young fan but you definitely need to listen to more of his stuff. Magical!
The song "Ohio" is a part of our national tapestry. It reflects a dark time in our past. Worth the listen.
"Needle and the Damage Done" live at Johnny Cash Show is one of those legendary performances also.
Absolutely!

One name…”Cream’ so nice to hear young people appreciate my generations music…and yes,no modifying their voices …even earlier..50’sthey had to sing the entire song in one take…
Remember watching him perform in concert in the sixties very talented and what a lyrical master great song writing. One of s few that write, play and sing his own music.
Wife here. I am a king time Neil fan. Heard him at age 12yrs old and was hooked. Keep digging he has a very large Catalog . Lots of styles.
I haven't stopped listening. I'm sure you never heard. Luke the Drifter, " The Bad Girl Down the Street". What a great story teller and a tear jerker. That makes one look at gossip differently.
I don't know where to start. I should write a book about my experience with Neil and his music. I was 19 when I first heard one of Neil's songs. When I say one of Neil's songs, because I went to a dance hall in Houston one summer night in '70, and a very popular local rock / psychedelic band was performing - Fever Tree. As I walked in, they were playing "Nowadays Clancy Cant Even Sing".... As I walked around the place, something about those lyrics and kudos to Michael Keller the lead singer. He had such a raspy bluesy voice, the lyrics just seem to capture my attention. At the end of the night and as an encore they performed the song again and this time I was at the side of stage, totally mesmerized by the song. It was a few months later, as I was listening on the radio, a broadcast of Neil at Royce Hall, that I found out it was his song! Before that evening I thought it was one of Fever Tree's. That evening, Jan. 30, 1971, my birthday, became a major game changer for me. That concert of Neil's and especially when he sung Sugar Mountain was THAT moment in my life that took me in a musical direction I am so blessed to have experienced the 7 decades with Neil and so many others from that era. Sebs, if you do a deep dive into Neil's music, its going to be a very deep dive. His discography is immense! However that being said, there is a song he performed on his Live Weld album, in '91, that's actually a cover of his dear friend.... Bob Dylan. Its "Blowin in the Wind" His guitar playing, the soulful emotion he puts into that song is other- worldly. If there ever will be a song and how its performed by Neil on that album, to become a global anthem for world peace it would be his electric version of Bob's prophetic lyrics. Peace out

I am 75 and Neil Young is my favorite all time artist.
Loved that you've done Neil Young, he's one of my favourites, but I nearly spat my tea out at the Paul McCartney comment 😂 May I respectfully suggest you go back and take another look? I seem to have spent half my life saying "I didn't know Lennon/McCartney wrote that"!
Plus Lennon and Mccartney changed music for ever. Every musician that came after them were influenced by them to this day. They opened the door to modern music. Sergeant peppers changed everything.
If you want one you have probably heard, it's heart of gold. I believe they were on the Same album. He also sang that at the same concert as this performance.
The beauty of this song this performance its still relevant to whats happening in our lives your life.
All songs are poetry...
This was my favorite song in high-school, showing my age!!
Gotta check out my favorite song by Neil,"Hurricane".
One of best Videos, Neil Young Harvest Moon
I listened to a young woman sing this to her dying mother once so i get choked up every time i hear it now.
This song always sounded like a love song. I used to listen to his music with my best friend. Love it.
Ali does not look sweaty - she looks like she is glowing! beautify
My favorite Neil Diamond is “Coming to America”! Great song.
