Neil Young is such an artist. Honestly, if some new band released this today... I'd probably go apesh*t. They'd be in the top 40. Hailed as the newest brand of indie rock. Didn't Radiohead try this experiment (going electronic including vocoders) and become one of the most hailed bands of our time with Kid A/Amnesiac?

[Broadsword95]

Half Life, nice!

Great song, great album. Like.

[fredriknorand]

I like this!

[gptvproductions]

i hate computers, no wait, i wouldn't be watching this video without one.

i think computers are great but people abuse them. i do hate how people can't put down their cell phones and palm devices.

[48perkins]

cool man...

[SilentGunman]

Computer beatdown!

[dbemail83]

and look at the looney smashing up his computer at the end!!

wtf was that about?!

[LeviMan2001]

You don't get it? The song makes a statement about computers vs humans, like how they don't care and such. Note the lyric "when i see the light, I know I'm more than just a number." He's saying at least the computer considers him and changes the crosswalk light for him.

[dbemail83]

This Neil Young song is cool but the video you made is ubber lame! sorry!

[powerleg]

This gets worse every time I see it.

[davidheadon]

early in my teens i was turned onto Rust Never Sleeps.

The next thing i remember hearing from Neil was this, and i thought WTF! this is great!! but SO different.

i was always selective about which synth-driven music i got behind.

A lot of stuff from this era i can't get behind ( read syrupy dirge like The Thompson Twins)

but Trans actually SAID something to me.

[zeets93]

I used to hate Trans, until I realized the reason I hated it: It was completely different from other Neil Young Albums. I gave the album a chance and now regard it as one of his finest albums.

[EF72777]

Trans was just something different. One of the greatest things about Neil is he has a big variety.

[fossilfuelmusic]

@abortedandee its such a trip that he made that leap into the future so quickly . bad ass

[KENVAIL]

i love the 'trans' lp personally, he was very adventurous back then.

[SilentGunman]

Let's see Pearl Jam cover this song-with the vocoders!

[greystead]

I have a live version from the old grey whistle test somewhere on VHS. Surely someone clever and digital has similar for upload. It really kicks. Here's hoping.

[2fishTwo]

Christ......I remember that on OGWT. Didn't he have Todd Rundgren, or was it Nils Lofgren, on stage with him?

[blindriv3r]

Yeah, Nils...,and Nils is on this recording too I think, doing the high vocals that come in after the first part of the song...and doubling Neil's guitar parts...

[FranciscoCristo]

does somebody know where i can download this song????

[powerleg]

This is perhaps the worst video I've ever seen.

The song is baller though.

"You need me like ugly needs a mirror"

"When I see the light I feel like more than just a number"

[tage92]

i think its great, good song, Some of the clips looks like its from a half life game :P

[illyanil]

how dare you insult neil young like that!!!

[EF72777]

How is this an insult to neil young

[RajahBrooke]

@EF72777 I don't think illyanil reaslised that this was a Neil Young song or assumed that it was some kind of remix....

[ZilogJones]

lol VHS

[silvanski]

neat! didn't know there was a videoclip of this one
