  • Monotone boring twat playing a mouth organ badly...

  • @BWFSabian your a dumbass and a jackass

  • I would enjoy hearing some of your opinions about what this song is about. Like all the best art, it can be interpreted in so many different ways and means so many different things to different people.

  • im guessing his friend told him they were out of weed... just a guess though haha

  • My friend told me her hippie brother used to live in the basement of a mansion that had burned down. He was friends with Neil Young and they used to hang out in the basement, hence the line: " I was lying in a burnt out basement..."

  • and I felt like getting..High

  • I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flyin'

    in the yellow haze of the sun

    their were children cryin'

    and colors flyin'

    All around the Chosen Ones...Dan O'Niallain

  • Oh, shut up and listen!

    All of you.

  • rusted out garage tour. i had front row seats. i was so wasted all i remember is neil coming out on the stage. such a shame what drugs and alcohol can do to a person. i'm sober 20 years by the Grace of God.

  • woooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww this is a fantastic version, and i love how the audience always loses it when he says "and i felt like gettin high" hahaha

  • Please google project Aquarius and the Orions Cube :)

  • If you are seeking truth, go to TRUTHcontest (dot)com and read The Present. Inspired music like this will be released once again when we wake up to the truth.

  • @vividDC you on about the elite banking familys that manipulate every part of our society to further there own agendas??? i love neil but also try milkman of human kindness by billy bragg includes a touchin line "hold my hand for me im waking up" its better with the tune ....and damn you ROTHSCHILDS so much to answer for.

  • best song of neil young ever!

  • Neil Young > Justin Bieber

  • @Warialb get the fuck out.

  • @Warialb My shit is > Justin Bieber

  • Just beautiful; well done.  :)

  • I wish Neil Young and Leonard Cohen would perform a concert together. Now THAT would be a show!

  • if tomorrow is the day I am ready to fly on mother nature silver seed

  • Neil YOUNG IS THE BEST!

  • dieses Lied erinnert mich immer an schönere alte Zeiten!

  • Hi, I'm hipster superman, you probably haven't heard of me, I'm pretty obscure,

  • maybe it's a bit the strenght of the pics is exagerrasted,ok,neil young is not so blue when he thought this song,he didn't seems so down,anyway his voice is at his best,..! and every pic is wonderful,but it's hard to connect the pic whit the meaning,it don't fits ,no,don't fit absolutely,but both are wonderful,who cares??it's great to watch at two different things anyway,great video,thumb up,of course!!

  • great version of the best Young song ,in my humble opinion,thumb up !!

  • the song is a masterpoiece and the imagesm are worthy of this song which meaning is so weird,so mysteriously hidden,thumb up!!

  • This song reminds me of growing up as an infant, a son of hippy parents when peace and love was the order of the day !! wish i could go back there !!! I look forward to the return of our lord and saviour Jesus Christ ! Yeshua Messiah !! He will save us and take us back to where we are meant to be !! Ressurection Day 2011

  • @danielmichaela This is a music video, not church. What do the two have to do with each other? Just goes to prove that religious types are always preaching, no matter where, how, what, or when.

  • yeah, if i had to choose listening to this or to "ass reamers of the andes" by "the whumps," i'd choose this for sure...

  • 7 dislikes, 7 people dont have ears.

    A great entertainer.

  • love neil young

  • My all time favorite Neil Young song. Went to the very first Earth Day at UT, Austin. I think a perfect storm of human stupidity will be hitting soon. Food, water, oil, the economy, overpopulation, and perhaps a nuke or two from someone who has a personal sky-daddy. Aloha and Peace from my lifeboat of Kauai.

  • Beautiful!

  • Well, I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships lying in the yellow haze of the sun...all around the chosen ones...The "Loading had begun..."Dan O'Nealon

  • Neil is more than mortal man.

  • A word can remind you of a song. A song can remind you of a time.

    peace

  • this is great..

  • Saw this preformed on the garage tour it was awesome everyone in the pittsbugh civic arena sang it along with him.

  • lmao @ *GOODBYE* fool.

  • 4 lying friends.

  • Herbet from family guy sounds like Neil Young

  • @PietPassword Just joking about his (amazing) high whine voice.

  • The greatest man to be born with no testicles.

  • @Alucard767676 yes it would be much better if everyone sounded the same....you are a asshole..

  • @MrRob7004 I used parenthesis's vs quotation marks on amazing mean I felt it was unnecessary information not being sarcastic. As well the original comment I said " The greatest man..." so I'm obviously not apposed to his voice. I also like the voices Lou Reed , Wayne & Mark Coyne of The Flaming Lips , Jeff Buckley and Thom Yorke of Radiohead not some of the best trained singers but some of the most spirited I hope I made myself clear.*GOODBYE*

  • NICE ONE G

  • this song so beautiful

  • "thinkin' about what a friend had said, I was hopin' it was a lie..." This is such a completely open line, unspecific, but I fill it in with such sad possibilities that I always end up crying.

  • Doesn't seem like many people know the true meaning of this song.. His friend told him how the Annunaki & Nephilym created humans as a slave race to mine gold for their planet...Along the way humans ate from the tree of knowledge, becoming able to reproduce. Now, supposedly we are almost in the time of harvest...when our DNA ripens to the next level of being. (Thats the rumor anyway;) Listen to Drunvalo / Wilcock / Mandelker ..

  • @inphiknitfractal I didn't know that. It sorta makes sense with the lyrics. Thatnks for that bit of info, I will have to research it and see exactly what you're talking about. I've always wondered about the meaning of this song.

    I LOVE NEIL YOUNG there's no one like him!

  • @inphiknitfractal sure nice 2 C that more are wakening up to what they C and hear.

    Be well :)

  • there is NO subsitute for CLASS

  • If only I could turn back time. This song brings me so far back, It's like being there!

  • head like a fucking orange.

  • I guess this is one of those you had to have been there to enjoy type of deals.

  • @J0saih guess you don't get it do you pity

  • Young's songs are some of the most haunting, insightful, and deep pieces of music and poetry around. Peace!

  • Yay! xsrael will be nuked! yay! We need to get the rest of them over there first! Hurry!

    There will be a six million man march in xsrael, get your tickets now.

  • this song is about xsrael getting nuked yay!

  • @TheAmazingamerica - Your new name is "Richard Noggin"...

  • @TheAmazingamerica I don't want a new name.

  • Such a basic and beautiful song what a legend you are Mr Young

  • Mr Neil Young, one of a kind. The Good Lord didn't issue us enough Neil Youngs. Sure could use a few dozen more these days.

  • vision,purpose,timeing..

  • I agree

  • 2 people need to choke 

  • Obscure!

  • this song has got to be on Al Gore's ipod

  • listen to Dolly Parton sing

  • Vedder, Young, Dylan, and anyone else pouring there Hearts out on stage. No particular order, hats off...

  • I just realize that actually I find Neill Young better then Bob dylan. Although I really like Bob Dylan and I always go to his concerts if he is in amsterdam and I really respect him as a musician. I think that Neill Youngs lyrics are just as good and he sings with the same emotion. His songs have a deeper meaning I think where Dylan stays on the surface. Needless to say Neil Young's guitarskills are only passed by a select group and I love admiring his melodies and the riffs.

  • Comment removed

  • lol i love how everyone cheers when he says "and I felt like getting high"

  • really? firefighters? ....

  • neil youngs music is so deep it is beautiful im a song writer and singer and he is one of my biggest influences so is elvis and johnny cash their music will live on forever i just hope one day i could be as big as any of them rock on guys.

  • I just can't stop listening to this song!

  • @GlamLikeYam i too...

  • the meaning of thhat great,weird masterpiece is so well hiddem,it might mean he had a vision of the future,an awful future,too similar to this our present......or i'm only misunderstunding such masterpiece???

  • @GlamLikeYam yie, hardcore chill :))

  • fabulous

  • I think what many people fail to recognize about Neil Young, Bob Dylan and similar artists of that period IS the period in which they were writing. Boomers or younger who had been raised in Post WWII prosperity and were now faced with Viet Nam, race riots, etc. The space rate was creating the potential for "outside this world" realities. The artists sought the "I thou" relationship between the divine and humans, trying to explain the inequalities of life. The music was deeper than surface.

  • Well I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships

    flying in the yellow haze of the sun

    Their were children crying

    and colors flying

    All around the chosen ones...

    the loading had begun...

  • There is a song i think it's by neil young, with lyrics "and it's you that i love and it's true that i love only my way", does anyone know the name of this song?

  • @jdm153 type it into google, and itll come up

  • @marcbessey68 Tried that and found nothing.

  • Can anyone comment on my version of the same song @

    markymark251

    Thanks

  • F*** this is so good it should be part of the music curriculum for every developed country in the world.

  • i think the real best at this song, isnt neil youngs voice. no, its the background!

    real famous artists shouldnt do something like that but hes done.

    thats awesome

  • Well, it's funny because you could argue there's a gold rush NOW (anyone notice Cash4Gold pop up outta NOWHERE?) and it's not that far fetched to think that he's being serious, despite his outlandish depictions of his visions. Sometimes the truth is weirder than the fiction... :)

  • wish i was round a camp fire with neil young playing through the night how ace would that be !!!!!

  • Basically, this song is very open to interpretation due to Neil being high as fuck when he wrote it. I'm not sure he even knows what it means. Absolutely stunning, nonetheless. A classic.

  • Thumbs up if Hipster Superman brought you here!

  • One of his best songs!

  • This has to be one of my favorite songs of all time! His unique voice perfectly suits his music! Spectacular!

  • He is a goddamn national treasure!

  • @jackbamm A Canadian national treasure, but he sure understands American rock 'n' roll.

  • how I love this song *-*

  • Amen

  • Neil is a treasure, a true artist, an unbelievable talent.

  • Love it, thank's Mr Gervais,

    Long Live Mancula 

  • Love it.

  • Truly the best there is...

  • A truely Spiritually inspired and talented individual....Not affraid to find his voice and share it with the rest of us. Beautiful!!!

  • Just beautiful. Thank you Neil! This is timeless music.

  • masterpiece

  • "The gold rush" is I believe a metaphor for the ideals from the 60's, not? This is the melancholia of the 70's...."After the gold rush".... the feeling that those high ideals had not been accomplished, that the popular uprising among the youth had failed...

  • To me Neil young is as great a music artist can become. This and the third track on this record (Only Love Can Break Your Heart) are as emotional songs can evolve before turning pathetic. I think he is fucken great at just leaving you speachless with the simple arrangement of guitar, piano and some stunning lyrics. My respect.

  • this was my mothers favourite song before she died, when I was younger i never liked his music, but now that I'm older and understand how eye opening his music really is, how much soul he put into his music, I see why my mom liked him. :)

  • will everyone stop degrading this song with political/religious speak?

    just listen to one of the most beautiful version of one of the greatest song ever time

  • Been through the Bible a couple times "bro" and it is an inspiraional book ! Ok so humans called up in the rapture will live on clouds for 7 years while Armaggedon goes on on Earth . Seven years on a cloud without food or water ?? No thanks i'll take my chances on Earth :-)

  • @rexbradley : I'm not arguing that the Armageddon by God and whoever else involved will happen, but to imply that food/water are even relavent at that point is beyond what the Christianity god is. In my eyes, god is food, water, animals, earth, the sun, everything. You could argue I believe that mother nature is a god & that we're all just math equations of elemental combinations. I look at it beyond that.

  • "The existence of Aliens": ?? When Jesus comes back how do you think he'll come ? on a cloud or in a puff of smoke ?? His transportation will be a star ship ! "Colours flying all around the chosen one " Neil's not talking about Nixon !!

  • hey there bro... you ought to read the bible first before mentioning the Lord's return. he'll be coming on cloud with His angels to gather His elects from the 4 winds. on that day there will be no loading in any air or space ships, just clouds.. : ) btw, there will be no lsd/acid trip on that day for it will also be the start of the day of judgment. kindly.. read the Bible

  • @happymanfeelssogood The bible is fictional.

  • @jimmyjazz24 Bible fictional? and you, real? that's VANITY! can you make even a single strand of hair a speck of dust? didn't you know that Job spake of the earth as hanging on to nothing and that the earth is round? thousands of years before Christ came to earth.

    even you yourself, deep within your heart know that there is God. no matter how hard you try to cheat yourself & deny that there is God, you know that He is true for He is the truth & you speak of lies. define fiction if you can.

  • @happymanfeelssogood ok..not real. man made. fake. never took place. people like you make me sick, believe what you want but dont force it on other people on youtube videos of Neil Young...and also dont start getting so "deep" on me. You are just trying look profound but you look like a fool. So shut up.

  • @jimmyjazz24 not good enuf kiddo! you ought to buy a pocket dict.. no siree, you make yourself sick. i was giving you the cure, the "truth"! but you stubbornly stick to your "not real, man-made, fake & lie that never & will never take place b'coz the Bible is the truth. you can never handle that. no, i'm not deep. your shallowness is creating the illusion of depth, and so you now start to feel like drowning. hold on to the truth and you'll live! "The fool hath saith to himself, there is no God."

  • @happymanfeelssogood man you are brainwashed. But hey I am sure you live in the bible belt or your parents just forced religion upon you and never questioned anything else. So preach on Creed's youtube page and remember that science has more hard evidence than the bible.

  • @jimmyjazz24 shallowness is all around you, you are drowning in fear & holding on to the grass beneath the murky water of lies. my brain & heart is washed by blood. define religion. i bet you don't have the slightest idea. Job knew that the earth hangs on nothing & that it is round thousands of years b4 Christ came. it's only recently that a scientist discovered that it is round & the pope even had him ex-communicated. do you know who that world famous scientist is? nah, you don't. give it up: )

  • @happymanfeelssogood ...and just remember religious wars have killed millions over history..so much for salvation and peace and love....and thy shalt not kill.

  • @jimmyjazz24 uhm.. thy is not the same with thou..

    sorry, i can't throw anymore pearl to you... i'm not allowed. "Don't throw your pearl to the pigs.. They might trample it and turn against you and devour you." you see?

  • @happymanfeelssogood Brilliant. Someone using a story about a many who gets eaten whole by a giant fish and survives to tell the tale as their main basis for biblical authenticity. You couldn't make it up.

  • @sheikwaba like what i've said to jimmyjazz24.. i can't throw any more pearl to the dogs... i'm not responsible for them.... people who live in the dark see the light of darkness as brilliant... the blind doesn't see and the deaf doesn't hear.... "The fool saith in his heart, there is no God." " Pride goes before destruction."

  • @happymanfeelssogood can't seem to make a meaningful comment either it appears. To categorise your fairy tales as enlightenment is just foolish; to think that you are in some way profound or have some insight due to your ignorant delusions is... well... ignorant and delusional.

    Like the old saying goes "you can't teach a moronic deluded faith-head new tricks".

  • @sheikwaba oh come on jimmyjazz24 i knew you were hiding behind another alias. you couldn't stand your ground. so now you pretend you're shitwaba. lol! old saying? who said it aside from you? inventor! my comment not meaningful? that's the simplest way i could put it, still you couldn''t get it! lol! your mind is obscured by your pretension of being philosophical, but the truth is that you're irrational.. you pretend to be an intellectual by using words you don't understand. YOU are DELUSIONAL!

  • @happymanfeelssogood okay happymanfeltchesdogs (we can all play the infantile game of name changing - the difference is the change on yours makes is true). Of course it wasn't a real saying you ignorant moron, are you really too stupid to understand that?

    You are the one that believes in in magical sky fairies and cosmic Jewish zombies not me. You make ad hominem attacks with nothing to back them up. You're looking a bit pathetic really.

  • @sheikwaba ha ha ha.. now you are really shaken.. i can alnost see you gnashing your teeth against me.. : ) don't worry.. i forgive you. i'm not mad at you.. you really put a big smile on my face right now.. now you know how it feels when giving offensive comments and giving a personal attack against the very person of someone.. just " Do unto others which you would want others do unto you." you take care... i really enjoy pleasantries with you.. : )

  • @sheikwaba ok, what do you have to offer to us u-tubers mr.philosophical shitwaba? like sir John Houseman said in Paper Chase, " Mr. Shitwaba.. fill this u-tube page with your intelligence! " open up the floodgates of your highly philosophical mind and pour unto us your richly nourishing thoughts& ideas.. drown us in the sea of your widom. let us hear the unfathomable words of your eloquence. maybe we u-tubers thirst for it. nourish our malnourished thoughts.. pliz.. oh great SHITWABA ha ha ha!!

  • @happymanfeelssogood Hey Happy Dog Feltcher, you seem to rely on quoting other people, have you no original thoughts of your own? Do you not see the irony in having to use someone else's words to accuse me of not having any ideas.

    This is the reason you are such a faithhead, you lack the intelligence to think for yourself. Just accept the first fairy tale someone in authority gives you. If you have evidence or a reasoned argument to your stance I'd love to hear it... hmmm, didn't think so....

  • @sheikwaba hahaha.. oh boy.. i gave you lots of original thoughts but you missed them all, it's understandable.. i do qoute and cite a lot bcoz i'm a law student.. my works involves lots of legal technicalities.. i just wanted know how low you can go.. time to quit now.. hahaha... nice exchanging pleasantries with you.. take care..

  • @rexbradley : He says 'ones'. Time is 3:12 to 3:16. He says it at 3:15.

  • i love this song it is so an inspirational song. NEIL FOREVER!

  • this is a better version than the original...thanks for posting, what a find!

  • Truly does sound like a song based on post-apocolypse scenerios. After the worlds leaders together ruin what we have here. Neils all over it, dream or not!

  • The only recorded song about the Rapture :-) beautiful inspirational song , Bravo God Bless .

  • Nassim H is the man !

  • This song is about alienssss

  • you are stoned dude

  • "I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flying in the yellow haze of the sun there were children crying and colors flying all around the chosen ones.. then in a dream all in a dream the loading had begun, flying mother natures silver seed to a new home in the sun".... Listen to the last part, its a massive alein abduction either that or a massive exodus from earth. Im not stoned, Im just a fan.

  • check part32 of Nassim Haramein, of the conference 2003...on youtube, you will be amazed...

  • hey there... hello!!! it was vietnam war.. there was an evacuation going on. one everyone could go, but only the few chosen ones. the guy was a soldier in a burned out basement who got high with morphine... he was there all night till the breaking of the sun.. : ) alien? sure, the guy who got high was an alien. he was an american G.I. in nam waiting to be pulled out from the front.

  • I am skeptical of your interpretation, the lyrics do not add up to what you are saying... I think it as to do more with pollution and nuclear war threatening mans existence and then colonizing in space or something like that...

    You are hooked on Roster by Pearl Jam

  • my interpretation is the true picture of what the song depicts and not what the vid shows. the word mother-nature and spaceship could also have distorted your own interpretation.. if one can't believe God, how in this looney world can one believe the existence of alien which , obviously, is a false hope for something w/c is non-existent.. neil is from the era of nam war.. psyche-delict drugs.. space alien in those time were found only in children comic books. the guy was transported from nam..

  • @tempemonkey2323 You are putting a modern interpretation on a much older song.

  • @tempemonkey2323 I was there when this first came out - no alien abduction rubbish, its the Vietnam War, that's what makes it so powerful

  • Much though I love Neil Young's music, the version by English folk band Prelude is just so much better.

    Listen to it - it's on you tube - and judge for yourself. I think it's utterly wonderful.

  • 2:00~+~+~*

  • "in-country" mission. Better known by its nickname~+~+~*

  • me fascina esta cancion que es el reflejo de lo que es nuestro mundo y lo cerca que estamos de que pase esto igual es fabuloso Neil

  • Why even worry about the "deeper" meaning ....just listen & know what it means to you .... love you Neil xxx

  • go hipster superman.

  • ~+~+~*

  • Well it's one of the best ballads i've ever heard but i'm sure there is a music video for the song?

  • this song is much more moving when it has no "bigger meaning". I dont think it was meant to be a commentary on political strife or pollution or anything. I think this song is more moving when attributed to a personal or internal issue.

  • neil would be offended.

    of course theres a deeper meaning..

  • This is such a great song. I like a lot of music from him. :)

  • humans are the stupidest animals ever. we are killing each other because of something we created(money). And we take everything for granted(spelling).sometimes i even think were making the world revolve around money and power. we are making it so that we have to depend on money.

  • i hear ya man!! its gunna a few or alot of amazing people to turn this world around show eachother that were all here no matter what money love hate war were all still in this together!!! so lets get along and make the best of this life with eachother!! u kno wut i mean?

  • Money is only a substitute for real "objects" and so it was not really created by humans. Its like a list of what you own.

    Sure people are bloody stupid but only because money tends to have power and rights.
