im a filipino and i dont really totally understand the meaning of the song. but when i heard it from a mp3 cd i bought, i fell in love with it. sounds sad. And when my mom died, i used it as a song in her funeral... i still love it
@vheart1771 Hi there. I am also Pinoy vheart. The song came out late 60s, I was a tee nager, it was the era of the Vietnam War, the Cold War, grass, LSD, Hippies and Mother Nature getting haywire. if youre going to listen closely to the lyrics, its like someone "tripping" about a post-nuclear war-wasted Earth with human survivors being chosen by ETs to be transported to a new home in the sun. Yes I agree , the song is sad.
i was born in 1970 and this song helped my mother thru hard times ! no wonder i think its one of the greatest songs ever cause i listened to while i was in her belly ! hell of a way to find out why you love a song so much !
Great Canadian along with a rag tag bobtail lot called the band they produced 2 great songs that are a tapestry to my life;being The Weight and After The Goldrush.Supern just superb.
The simple fact that so many great songs, Including those of neil young and many many more artists are disappearing from youtube while complete and utter garbage is still on here
I believe this sound like (is)a prophecy, still after alle these years when he wrote it. Many people receive visions, prophecies through dreams, this is one of them and a very important one!
this is the very definition of a haunting melody. in no way does any it compare to any song in any way. it stands the test of time and grows more beautiful with every passing day.

Neil Young is a great original artist... but I think he sometimes writes songs after listening to something and it's a bit too close for comfort. I can't help 'Let it be' flashing before my ears when I listen to this. The intro to 'Ohio' is a lot like Hendrix' Voodoo Chile. And 'Rockin' in the free world' is a better song than '747 (strangers in the night)' by Saxon (yes, Saxon, the inspiration behind Spinal Tap), but '747' was released 8 years earlier, and it is rather similar.
I couldn't disagree more. Just because a song is played on the piano does not mean it is ripping off "Let it Be." Is "Brick" by Ben Folds Five ripping off Let it Be? This song sounds nothing like Let It Be, and is, if anything, much better!
this isn't remotelyt like let it be. the rythym, the melody the lyrics are compoletely different and unique...so pathetic that you wish to try to destroy a legend with lies.
The Gold Rush is almost over (eco-nomics; exploitation of the environment), and what his friend said is, unfortunately, true; sending chosen ones with seeds to another planet can only be a dream, the Earth is all we have, and there really is no hope. A very sad, sad song.
yes, he`s still got it. This song is so beautiful that I`m surprised that the lyrics still in my head after sooo many years and yet I can still sing-a-long.

So, I take it you can't listen to any song played on a piano that was written after 1968, without thinking it's a "Let It Be" knock off.
