Evelbat tell Clint Young he left me right where I need to be, in tears. It is important to cry when you are sad; Shilo was always seen from a girl's point of view for me; it doesn't really matter does it; love is love, a broken heart is a broken heart, and your best friend is just that, your best friend. Tonight I could play this back to back to back to back. Thank you for sharing your Shilo. Kitty
You did an awesome job! This song is so sad but I love it so much. You did a fantastic job. So, I look at your pictures and wonder if you actually married your childhood sweetheart? :-)
That was really good, usually I think these kind of things are lame but I really liked your photo choices set to the song. I'm going to send the link to my girlfriend and have a look at your sequel.
Thank you very much! Glad you liked it. You will probably like the second one, "Shilo Live", even better. I know I do and so do most people who watch it.
Its a longer song, has a faster beat and a different ending to it. Its also a live vesion of Shilo that Neil sang in concert back in the mid 90's. Hope you enjoy it!
This must be the Bang era "counting the years" version. I like both versions of "Shilo" (Bang & UNI era). I wonder who Neil is referring to in the song? Anyway, a great song!
To answer the question to musicmedmmaurice I think it sounds like the second rendition of the one from the 60s where he made his popularity on a label called Bang Records because he rerecorded once in 1970 on MCA Records on an album called "Velvet Gloves And Spit," which also contained the hit Brooklyn Roads." The one you heard can be found on his double CD collection called "His Greatest Hits 1966-1992." I have that one and the other versions on CD as well.
@bprife Its actually the very first studio version of Shilo Neil did in the 60' for Bang Records, the original shorter song. It was later recorded again with added verses when he left Bang Records and that was a longer song. The 3rd recording was on "Velvet Gloves And Spit" and that version has a completely different sound and beat to it. Very much unlike the first 2 versions of the song.
Then a 4th version was recorded using a banjo on the live H. A. N. album. It has a different ending to it.
I have read that this song has a few renditions by ND recorded under two different labels. Which is this one? It sounds like the version that was a hit in 1970.
The sequel to Shilo has been out for over a year now. Check it out, its even better then this one. I used Neil's live version of the song recorded in the 1990's. Its a longer song with a few different verses and a different ending to it.
If you liked this Shilo video you then will love my second one with the live song.
It has all new photos and tells a slightly different story. Plus there is a mini video at the end using Neils song "Theme" from his Moods album.
@Cimiar I named one of my cats Shiloh. I have always liked the name and this song inspired me to name her that. I knew I would never choose it for one of my children but I really wanted to use it. It is a very unique and pretty name. I was surprised when Brad and Angelina named their daughter Shiloh.
great vid! wonderful job on the slides. this song was a favorite of my twin sister and mine. bet i played it 2 mil times after she died. still cry everytime i hear it. somehow it just summarizes our relationship.
5 STARS x 10!! Your Shilo videos are wonderful. Thanks for putting yourself out there, as it is the personal nature of the videos that make them so powerful.
Be sure and watch the sequal I made called "Shilo Live". Its even better than this one is.

beautifull song im a metal head and when i heard this song on my moms record player i melted and bobd my head to the song wierd huh? but i agree a great song ^_^
This is so beautiful! I never really listened to the lyrics til you put these fantastic images to the song. It gave me chills. Thank you for helping me rediscover the song!
