Besides fabulous lyrics, it's that gentle and somewhat forlorn quality about Neil's vocals and harp that makes his music so unforgettable. Many of Neil's songs paint scenes right out of a Fredrick Remington work of the Old American West. In a sense, Neil's music is the ultimate "time machine." Through Neil's music, we get in touch with our personal memories and with who we were (and are) as Americans and Canadians. Thank you, Canada! Thank you, Neil Young!
@educator5555 So very true. Music for the late and lonely hours of the night -- like a nearly-lost memory of a steam-powered train traversing the Plains of Canada or the US, circa 1900.
if you hear this song..if you listen and it makes you notice things or remember things ..then by all means LONG MAY YOU RUN..to the fools and the haters and those not even smart enough to get out of their own ways..eat limes and taste lemons when you do..(or insert basic eat shit and live quote here) love and thumbtacks 0
About 6 or 7 years ago I had seen Neil play this song on TV I forget what show it was.I had not really been to familiar with Neil i knew some of his music but not this song.I always respected Neil but was never a big fan but after hearing this song my opinion of Neil had changed.He is now one of my favorites.
To my Darling of Darlngs -- My Heavenly-Resplendent Wife, Barbra. You left me all too soon (on November 21/22, 2010). Heaven is home for you now. You were partially crippled in this life, but, now, LONG MAY YOU RUN! To my good friends in Thunder Bay. It was great riding with you. Choppers por vida.
@ugbonk ; Don't despair! A great artist is attempting to 'paint' an emotion...a feeling...that is supposed to reach you at a higher level. If he can do that--with you reaching your OWN personal connection--perhaps he has succeeded. Rejoice that it may be a metaphor for something more than steel and rubber. (And I'm not even a N Young fan...but this is one I like).
Gibberish, prefacing a storm of caterwauling, unharmonic guitar screeching and high-pitched whining, more worthy of a transgendered trollop pushed into a gutter after swallowing gallons of cum from multiple wayward gentlemen enjoying a night of depraved abandon in several of the seedier establishments on the dark outskirts of the shining city on the hill.
James!! Scuttle your way to me quickly now, man!
Bag that cat Nelly Young tonight. Here's a stout bat. Beat the daylights out of her!
Just saw this on the end of a Wonder Years episode, it's amazing how much Neil Young has aged so much in this video, but his voice still sounds exactly the same coming out!
i've been buying up a shit load of music from i tunes.. and i just realized i have nothing of neil young's.. i can't afford this shit.. but the music is too good to skip. i'll just have to come up with the dough. and i love what that first guy j4b7 said about neil's music.
Long may YOU run Neil...Neil Young is my favorite singer/songwriter (and this is coming from a Hard Rock/Metal guy)...something about Neil's music just helps me get by in life. His lyrical approach is like an artist's paintbrush-he's a musical Norman Rockwell-painting images of life we can all relate to with his songs. Mr. Young helped me get through some VERY DARK TIMES in my life-and for that I am eternally greatful. Not to sound 'corny', but his music touches my soul and gives me hope.
Me and Richie Hall saw this guy THE day the was in Vietnam was over! They put it up on the neon sign or whatever they had back then. Meanwhile, we had nose bleed seats....but it was still awesome and then some!!!!!!!!
was watching the wonder years episode "The Family Car" and this song played in the background while the old family car is hauled away. Such a beautiful song <3 I wasn't familiar with this track for some reason even though I had it in my music library LOL
Funny thing, the last times I saw him perform on TV were this song... at the Olympics and Conan's last show... so the pun remains intact, but with a sincere undercarriage, if you will... fuck it, only Neil can make a song this meaningful.
@normruttan It is a beautiful town and it is nice to take a lunch break there before you venture on the twisting road up to Chapleau and Timmins, Ontario.
@normruttan Actually...14 people dislike this song...those 14 bodies in the hearse that don't like being woken up!!! Well, if you could fit them all in, but I'll leave it for Neil to sort out. lol.
About three semesters before I graduated from college, one of the journalism majors quoted the opening lines in his farewell column. So when my friends and I graduated, I played the song at our party. Almost everyone got choked up, so yeah it works on lots of levels.
The album version is by the Stills- Young band. it was released around 1975-76. This is also the album title. I am lucky enough to have it in my vinyl collection. it can also be found on Neil Young Decade CD.
It's a good tune. I'm pretty surprised that one of today's country music stars hasn't covered it and made a big hit from it. I can practically hear it now, it would be a success.
I encourage all to listen to Tear Down the House by the Avett Brothers. It is clearly modeled/influenced by this song. If you are unfamiliar with the Avett's, watch this song along with others. They are truly special. What a great song by Neil Young, though.
Long May Your Run Old Bessie, some people may this this story is boring and untrue, it's not :)
Today, I went and replaced my old school bag, my old bag since I've had since about 2008, most people say " It's just a bag" but it's not I went all over Australia and oversea's with this bag, I couldn't just throw it out, so we filled it with huge rocks and threw it off the local bridge into the river, so Bess.... long may you run :)
neil young has sons with cerebral palsy and he and several musicians(CSN included) sing each year at his summer camp for the disabled... he made a video of his son riding in the back of his truck through the woods and he played this song...though confined to a wheel chair..."long may you run"
I have completed a critical inspection of this shabby, hirsute and hysterical Neanderthal girl. I confidently offer an assessment of the young trollop. A slattern of equal aspect has not, nor is likely to ever grace the stage. This frightful young woman yowls and screeches in a feral manner, the tenor of which reminds me of those wayward felines trapped and beaten nightly by my forthright and stalwart groundsman, James. Surely this woman was raised by wild beasts. James! Hurry, I need you...
@GeorgeHarrysSon I shall convey your kind regards to my dearly departed father during tonight's seance. I hope he shows up. The last time, I captured some of his ectoplasm in a Bose-Einstein condensate and subjected it to some Bentley exhaust at the motor garage. It was the least I could do, considering his treatment of the domestic staff in his will. He left my mum, the chambermaid, a bill for services rendered, from the hospital emergency room treatment of her bruised sphincter. The bastard...
@tjmfishing@tjmfishing No kidding. My brother's first car was a big old Caddy Hearse, which we naturally drove to Dead shows. That was great. Less great was being picked up at school in the hearse. Definitly set me apart from all the little girl prepsters I was in school with.
@BethanyRose69 awesome. may it bring pleasant memories of him. i had heard this at the closing of the vancouver games. been in love with it ever since
@BethanyRose69 You made the right choice...The words are about a hearse but the "song" is about loss. I would have played it at my dad's funeral but I was too broken up to perform. When I play Daddy Went Walkin" I always get teary as it's about dementia and my dad died of Alz
Miss you daddy!!

@pinojerry it's about his hearse "Mort." It was his first car which broke down in Blind River, ON back in the 60's.

@tjmfishing @tjmfishing No kidding. My brother's first car was a big old Caddy Hearse, which we naturally drove to Dead shows. That was great. Less great was being picked up at school in the hearse. Definitly set me apart from all the little girl prepsters I was in school with.

We played this song at my daddy's funeral. I don't know if it's about a car or not. But it reminds me of my dad every time i hear it.

Was your Dad a Boomer (born 1946-64)? My parent both died with the last 18 months, and I'M a Boomer - I think our time is winding down,but it's ok...

@BethanyRose69 You made the right choice...The words are about a hearse but the "song" is about loss. I would have played it at my dad's funeral but I was too broken up to perform. When I play Daddy Went Walkin" I always get teary as it's about dementia and my dad died of Alz

@BethanyRose69 We played this at my Dad's funeral too, back in 2000. It just seemed right. He loved Neil and his music.
