This is a great song! I like your voice a lot. You sort of hack at the guitar just like I do. :) Last week somebody suggested I concentrate on strumming smoother... I think we get the hacking because Neil does it! Anyway... smooth isn't all bad, especially on a song like this.
This has always been one of my favorite Buffalo Springfield/Neil Young songs. Never got a ton of radio play back in the 60's, and you rarely hear it today on the oldies stations. Very underrated.
Richie Furay's vocals on the original were superb. This is an excellent cover. Thanks for posting it.
I am 2 hours from my first crosby stills nash concert and I am going down memory lane here on youtube. this song is an underrated overlooked GEM of a tune. I almost didn't listen when I realized it was a cover...but I am listening to the end!
Buffalo Springfield's first LP has three fine songs Richie Furay sang:"Flying on the ground is wrong", "Nowadays Clancy can't even sing" and this one. Not that the whole album isn't great. I mean Richie sang the most melodic of their songs.
Well, 60sbest, I think there was some great talent there. I don't think I really paid much attention to analyzing them like you have done, and this song is sang by Furay, but Neil has that type of skill as well as you suggest (thinking on it). I love all those songs you want us to listen to. Retrospect is one album that was played by me to death and will listen to it again to see if the skill of the inflections are just as apparent.
I agree normality. This is a tricky one. It's an outstandingly well-written song, and with all the hesitations and inflections, it's apparent its much more than a run of the mill pop song. I think this little hidden masterpiece should have been on their top shelf of songs. Kudos to this fine Cover.
How old are you? You have a fine analysis of a finer mess. Neil inflections and hesitations, as he climbs his mountains to hallmark heights most moral songwriters can't feel (they are not feeling arrangers a la The Loner) or see (they can't open up their tired eyes a la Tired Eyes). Listen to Mr Soul, Expecting to Fly, On The Way Home, I am a Child. Or solo efforts with songs as I've been Waiting for You, Powderfinger Listen to Zuma and go past the rocky road of Decadence (Decade).
Perfect. I have to brag that I have an original Buffalo Springfield name plate, removed from an abandoned steam roller thirty years ago. It hangs proudly on my mantle.
I always loved this song by Neil. I believe it's the flip side of For What it's Worth, and sung by Richie Furay. I just wish he'd do it himself in concert. I've seen him over 30 times and never seen it yet.
Thinking i'll share something a lil personal here~ i've got this rare simple pleasure that i enjoy when i'm feeling certain things that i'll not explain here~ It's sliding into the black leather of a swing outside during twilight hrs & thrusting back & forth, flying to the sky & getting lost in that freedom of eternal youth~ i always feel completely at peace & do it alone generally. So, this song makes me feel like suddenly you were there, pushing me or something perhaps. Maybe even joining me~
i really liked this. Simple, sweet, the talent is always there, and i've been getting comfortably lost in your videos this evening & this was like a gentle... "hello" in return. Thank you for sharing such beauty with me, Gil. Always.
Nice Work, and good singing. Well anyways you sang this song really well, so good job singing too. Well you played the guitar really well. So now i can say is you have the talent in music.
awesome cover and playing is spot on there gil all the stars to you my friend all these channels of yours are confusing me wish you had just kept gilsmusic
