Neil Young - A Man Needs a Maid

[MrLar777]

great album! i havent heard thses songs in years, too many years. gunna have ta just sit here and listen to the whole abum.

[kneapoe51]

Beautiful song.......have always let this one just wash over me. Haunting. Monster Album. Simply timeless..........

[carlydepp]

This song is amazing, I can't even think of the right words to describe the feelings it gives me. It's as if my heart wanted to explode because it can't take all this wonderfulness all at once. Only Neil can do this to me.

[SpliffPete]

if a man needs a maid surely he is the one that needs help. he is the sucker.

so why the new "a man feels afraid" bollocks.

it stands or it falls

[60Waterfall]

So Neil! You apprreciate Me and I so appreciate you! I hope to get one one day! Meanwhile I'm proud to still be a maid@

[hector0557]

Beautiful!!! Greetings from Venezuela!!!! I love the song!!!

[nublkman]

Simply stated.....simply BEAUTIFUL....!!!!

[SecretGerms]

this song is a mess... it should have been done with nothing but an acoustic guitar, finger-picking. disagree if you choose to, i shall forever hold my ground.

[ssiknick83]

@SecretGerms I think it's great. To each is own i guess

[peterzang]

@SecretGerms If you ever heard the bootleg, he does it on piano, implying the orchestral parts that will come later. Why do people come on sites to criticize a song? Life's too short.

[SecretGerms]

@peterzang and why do people come on sites to criticize those who simply express an opinion (or, as you say, criticize)? life's too short.

[peterzang]

@SecretGerms Nope, not the same thing. I came on here to Listen to Neil's song. And happened to see your comment. Are you telling me this is the first time you've ever heard this song? It's 40 year's old. You came on to to dis. And you know it.

[SecretGerms]

@peterzang yeah, same thing (regardless of what you try to convince yourself of). i'm 44 years old. i heard this song many moons ago (yes, pun intended). i remember hearing it for the first time and thinking, "pretty nice, but would be soooo much better if all the extra instrumentation was canned". i don't "dis" because i have some strange desire to start an argument over the internet. i simply voice my opinion and go about my life as humbly as i can. good luck, good wishes and goodbye.

[peterzang]

@SecretGerms Back at ya kid. We can disagree without pulling out our AKs xxPZ

[BoakesJohn]

Radiohead like this song...

[partridgezombie71]

This song is beyond description.

[LeftCoastBias44]

One of the greatest orchestral arrangements ever, in any genre. This is an amazing piece of music...

[eliezerberry]

A while ago, somewhere, I don't know when... I was watching a movie, with a friend.

I fell in love with the actress.

She was playing a part that I could understand...

[DavidJY1970]

@eliezerberry I first heard this song when I was 17...had my heart broken for the first time and on night as I was in a funk, I heard this song and have loved it ever since

[BrythonDude]

a man needs a blow job too, but a made will have to do for now

[garyw930]

May I recommend the book 'An Essential Guide To Music In The 1970s' by Johnny Zero. The author is a big fan of this track.

[ChynaRider]

The year this LP came out - this LP cover was the single most visible image for what seemd like two years. The "Harvest" cover imprint and the music from this LP were literally everywhere. Adore this song.

[masterofgames2350]

My life is changing in so many ways I don't know who to trust anymore theres a shadow running through my veins

[masterofgames2350]

This song is called man needs a maid

[fennestarr]

This is sad; it's about the resignation of a man who no longer hopes to find love.

[alliballiskalli]

@fennestarr meaning of life if u ask <

[Zebarbas]

One of the greatest songs ever written

[PInk77W1]

awesome song to the Nth degree

[rfck450]

...A love song,as seen from a Man's status....

[SwingStu]

Hoorah for the London Symphony Orchestra! Smashing!

[mrjokioo]

David Crosby: Let's sing about cowboys!

Stephen Stills: And sailing!

Graham Nash: And we'll use electric guitars!

Neil Young: Screw it, let's hire a symphony...

[pbesmer]

Highly personal lyrics when he was feeling down, lonely, Joycian words

[dibshadibs]

good song but HORRIBLE lyrics horrible horrible lyrics

[schultzsw]

@dibshadibs 

[TheRandyChimp]

@dibshadibs I'm with you on that one. Whenever I hear this, I just think "These lyrics just don't work at all". The melody is freakin astonishing though.

[SwingStu]

@dibshadibs These have got to be some of his greatest lyrics.

[dibshadibs]

@SwingStu ...

[lawltaxcuts]

@dibshadibs youre not listening to the lyrics closely enough.

[GublerRussia]

@dibshadibs I'm gonna have to agree with you on that one

[paulbarraza]

@dibshadibs no have no clue

[dfalch]

A contender for best Neil-track ever, in my opinion. Magical!

[etebas12]

bob marley.john lennon and neil young.. amen

[massDIPPAH2]

By far the worst song he ever wrote.

[massDIPPAH2]

@massDIPPAH2 but i love it for some reason



[TheBraybeatles]

Music which stays with you through your life, through high and low.

[MattTheCrow]

I Stopped a metal song to hear this masterpiece

[irishbull777]

@MattTheCrow good metal sucks

[probrojeffro]

The drama! The passion! The craftsmanship! The Neil! Priceless.

[nizifa]

He is so amazing.

[puddingcook1]

i am in my fifties now , i first bought this record in the seventies, i still think this is my kind of music, nothing better yet!!

[HAPPYTHELEAF]

@puddingcook1 Good on ye, me too

[ilovemusic2much11]

I loved hearing this then, and I love hearing it now, some 40 years later.

[probrojeffro]

@ilovemusic2much11 Sign of good music.

[TheNat812]

neil must have written this incredible tune in the late sixties when he was in his early twenties, i can't even imagine being so creative and being so young? maybe that's why he's neil young?

[Whoruandwherdyoulive]

Do you think this song is a favourite of Dominique Strauss-Kahn?

[MrWWEHits]

@Whoruandwherdyoulive OMFG LOL IM LAUGHING MY ASS OFF BRO GOOD JOKE

[alexgreglol]

@Whoruandwherdyoulive straus kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, straus kan needs a maid

when life and love turn strange

[katoklzmk]

[Sebytheredhot]

[disciplined100]

One of the most beautiful songs ever written imo! gives me goosebumps from 0:00-4:06 Neil Young! <3

[Foorehtnossip]

what comes around - and visa versa

[siddharthamarr]

Notice the moving [Piano] harmony: d: Dm C Bb F, as well as sweeping strings, glockenspiel, beautiful lyrics, and a sweet flute figure. What a song! Siddhartha Marr, Songwriter.

[Jhensy2012]

Beautiful song, period.

[SuperJacques56]

@Jhensy2012 at this time we are living in cool harmony, and Neil Young sing thiscool harmony ! I love it

[jubjub2112]

Reminds me of living in Czechoslovakia many years ago. Love this whole album. Genius.

[PlanTonto]

[orleydogjones]

This song and Heart Of Gold were originally one song. He split them and made two separate songs.

[Axl1987Rose]

[caligirl2191]

The Maid Needs a Maid

[andreas7ax]

epic...... think about his home? a fucking mess.....

[60lovelife]

Oh if only Niel Young would sing these songs with words that give all the glory to Jesus the Lord who died in our place on that old rugged cross!

[probrojeffro]

The heart in sound and pain. Blessings.

[11maebelle]

"To give a love, you gotta live a love.

To live a love, you gotta be "part of"..."

Neil understands.

[PlanTonto]

@11maebelle Thanks. This is absolutely my most favorite line from this song...

[utubemusiccritic]

If you like the Harvest album, be sure to check out the album "Tea for the Tillerman" by Cat Stevens, and "Sweet Baby James" by James Taylor, two more classics from the '70's.

[fossilfuelmusic]

@utubemusiccritic or you could just listen to the dozens of albums by Neil Young, CSNY, and Buffalo Springfield from this era. But whatever.

[drumguy2194]

Neil best composed song in my opinion

[MrMEXDALE]

To TheDrunkCat Hits me hard too.Remember when N released this.Beautiful Song Do not know your tastes in music but if you have time check out Thin Lizzys The Friendly Ranger At Contarf Castle. Thin Lizzys first cut off their first recording.I think you might like it.

[aerdna17100]

harvest album patrimonio dell'umanità.............

[imru4real]

pure genius !!!!!!!!!

[VanishingWish]

I normally just listen to metal, but I recognise a beautiful song when I hear one.

[SenLinFu]

@VanishingWish +1

[jenandthumper]

@VanishingWish good on ya XXX its a lovely song isn't it :D x

[Unrated48]

@VanishingWish

Hahaha same dude I listen to a shitload of metal, and I just found out about Neil Young in The Simpsons Lol! Marge was singing a parody and then Bart was all like '' Mom, who's Neil Young? '' So I checked and I found out he wrote the song that was my favorite when I was children :O

[celloprofundo]

@VanishingWish ..Are you the most interesting man in the world? "I normally don't drink beer, but when I do, it's Dos Equis." ; )...btw, I think your name sums up the feelings of all us baby-boomers.....like Larry the cable guy said, inside every old person is a young person going, "W.T.F ?"

[GEETARS3]

@VanishingWish

haha same.

[rhcp4565]

@VanishingWish could not agree more bro

[SuperAnto1969]

l opera sinfonica firmata n.young..estasi uditiva

[Preisellack]

my girlfriend is going as a slutty maid for Halloween, she'll get a kick out of this, if only she liked neil young... too bad. great song.

[TheDrunkCat]

The feeling of this song, especially in the parts when he sings "when will i see you again" hits me so hard.

[MrPemarti]

Eu fico orgulhoso de saber que existem coisas tão lindas no mundo assim,parabéns deus.

[minakit]

Man needs a maid and everything she could do...

[handymandan100]

Yesh. he sho do!
