With dream comfort memory to spare,
and in my mind I still need a place to go,
All my changes were there,
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Baby can you hear me now?
The chains are locked and tied across the door,
Baby, sing with me somehow.
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Y, no.
Does anyone else find it difficult to rate these classics? It's like being asked to rate your children.
Not actually because I keep it simple. Everything I like gets 10, like this one.
This is one of those songs where you here the first few notes and think: no, not again.
I'm with you so far . . .

And four seconds later you are already enjoying it for the millionth time and softly singing the words with the music...
Gertjan, een perfecte beschrijving.
Big Bird's flying across the sky!
Always love Neal Young
Neal is the real deal!

One of my first 'favorite Neil Young tunes'!
Nope. Nope. Just never want to hear Neil Young. Ugh.
And you've only yourself to blame if you do.
I agree. I was there at The Last Waltz . I had just moved to San Francisco in May 1976, six months before a friend and I took each other to Winterland for our November birthdays, and had Thanksgiving dinner with 5,000 people. In the Martin Scorcese directed film of the concert you can see the back of my head from right in front of the stage when Bob Dylan is singing "Forever Young"!
That's REALLY cool, Rednred. I've heard that you could see coke on Dylan's mustache??
I am always amazed at the comments of the critical people. I actually feel bad for the critics, but perhaps they get more air play on Radio Paradise than Neil or CSNY.....I for one think it is a beautiful song.
Just what makes you tap your toes, music is art

And he wrote this.
(Young wrote 'Helpless')
I'm from Europe and have never been to Ontario. But I know that if I want to go to Perth, West Australia, I should travel East.
Sooooo, have you turned to Christian Rock to avoid Neil? That, and sports talk radio are the only places you won't hear him.

Don't feel bad for them. Pity and maybe a little disdain, yes but bad... not worth it.
Im lying in a burned out basement, listening to this song.

A classic is always new even when it's 49 years old.
Why thank you!
Right. As a preamble to vomiting.

Gee tell me how you really feel about him
Jeez.
Joni can chirp anywhere she wants. She's more than earned it.
Full moon?
Bill, can we have a Post Something Different-button to skip to a comment we do like?
Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!
Did not Zeps make III in response to this album?

How can it be better than Neil Young?
That's nice
Helpless, helpless helpless...............
If only psd worked on your whiny, indulgent post.
What is it with Radio Paradise and all the Neil. Awful.
We are so very lucky that they did.
Thank you to contrary things.
no other voice quite like his and csn just made him sound better with their beautiful harmonies...band made in heaven.
Then bill-1956, you are clearly a righteous dude!
......be so perfect?
Picture pink silos set on a Missouri sunset on a balmy, summer afternoon with some cow fertilizer wafting through your nostrils..trying not to be too offended ;)
The time confusion is quite natural after a while...you tend to put future things into the past.
it's all based upon individual experience. You'll end up where you began as the years go by..?
Quite..

I just can't enjoy Neil's voice.
So... a 15? I guess you'll just have to round it down to a 10.
What she said.
I hear you on that one.
We WERE there, weren't we? Chills down my spine...
Who?
I hear you on that one.
Neil at his most whiny. How can you not love this man and his music!
Hope you're doing well, "Crash", wherever you are.
very very godlike!
Heh. I know exactly what you mean about forgiving an artist for their occasional missteps.
The background harmonies by Stills, Nash and Crosby are just wonderful, always my favorite part of this song.
Dull, does nothing for me...unlike Neil whom I could at least listen to some songs :-)
Well, not until now......thanks for that....not.
Nine.
Maybe like me you thought this was a Neil Young song, and not a CSNY song...you prolly rated the former.
Too right!
Nine.

I just can't enjoy Neil's voice.
This is a deeply revealing story of Neil and many others who were touched by him and vice versa. I didn't know 'til I read this book that Nicolette Larson passed away. Reportedly, she died on December 16, 1997 of complications from cerebral edema. "Nicki" had a nickname for Neil: "Changeable Charlie".
He's a very talented, complex person. He's human, that's for sure. I'm a longtime fan of Neil, and that probably won't change, as it appears he's never "sold out"!
Yes, I read the exhaustive bio a couple years ago. I thought the last, say, 100 pages got a bit tedious, but overall an excellent read. My only complaint would be that McDonough takes too much credit for Neil's career moves. ("I told Neil to do this or that, blah, blah"; yah, right.)
Not actually because I keep it simple. Everything I like gets 10, like this one.
Not that anyone asked but I only rate 8, 9 or 10. This, of course, is a 10.
