Powderfinger - Neil Young (HQ)

[SteveGaines]

Supposedly Neil wrote this song for Ronnie Van Zant and Skynyrd...Then the plane crash occurred, and Neil kept it for himself.

Dude, the photo is sooooo out of date with the song. Step it up!!

[RegLeachFan]

Love the little record skip at 0:53. Thanks for posting.

[jtwest100]

if this song isnt about suicide or the contemplation of it I dont know what song is

[jtwest100]

so shelter me from the powder and the finger and cover me from the thoughts that pull the trigger and just think of me as one you never figured would fade away so young with so much left undone remember me to my love I know Ill miss her

[jtwest100]

I had just turned .22 a reference to a young boys first gun then I saw black and my face splash in the sky a reference to a larger calibre rifles kickback maybe a 12 gauge anyway thats my interpretation

[qldsec]

memories r grand and even better my 20 ear old daughter asked me 2 play this

[rottenroger]

the lightning is kinda annoying, but I like this performance. Awesome singer, too bad he can't play for s**t. :)

[matais1]

@rottenroger If Neil Young "can't play for s**t" I'd like to know who can.

[paranoidandroid3232]

Neil Young is better than you

[gchapman1211]

Awsome guitar player. Too bad he can't sing for s**t.
