Keep singing,Neil! You're the best & just like your friend Bob Dylan ( who has lost his voice, but not his talent) You are at your best live on stage!
Classical performance of a classical song, Neil Young at his very best, melancholical stuff made for endless highways, endless memories, everlasting love, broken hearts. So damn great.
Neil recalls vividly how repeatedly playing this Ian Tyson classic on a table-top juke box in a Manitoba Hotel inspired him to pursue a career in Music. Voted the "Greatest Canadian Song" in several magazine polls, through relatively few lyrics, it conjures deep,unforgettable,highly personalized impressions & emotions for each listener. What the song doesn't say; it implies powerfully through the vague, peripheral nature of the melancholic storytelling re. the transitory nature of relationships.
So very happy that this song is now being played jst about everywhere! and hope everyone who had never heard this agrees that this is a grt song and a grt artist!!!
One of my very favorite songs. Thanks Neil.
