Neil Young - Eldorado (Road of Plenty) ~ UnReLeASeD accoustic Version + vID

Dorado is also sometimes used as a metaphor to represent an ultimate prize or "Holy Grail" that one might spend one's life seeking. It could represent true love, heaven, happiness, or success. It is used sometimes as a figure of speech to represent something much sought after that may not even exist, or at least may not ever be found. Such use is evident in Poe's poem "El Dorado". In this context, El Dorado bears similarity to other myths such as the Fountain of Youth, Shangri-la, and to some extent the term "white whale" which refers to Captain Ahab's obsession in the book Moby-Dick. The disillusionment side of the ideal quest metaphor may be represented by Helldorado, a satirical nickname given to Tombstone by a tardy miner who complained that many of his profession had traveled far to find El Dorado, only to wind up washing dishes in restaurants.

may I say a VERY BIG THANKYOU For this song, one of my favourites, God Gave us a gift when he put a guitar in the hands of Neil

@chrisar67 Thank God we are the beneficiaries of that momentous, mysterious day.

Again, your choices of imagry continue to add to one's imagination, making for many choices for interpretation.

From the '89 release of "Freedom," it serves as yet another example of Neil's ongoing evolution, but not served by radio as was "Rockin In TFW," but just as the 'picture,' I see beginning around 2:03 through 2:25, a vision of a head/body at rest, beneath a setting sun, shows again just how far the mind can wonder when properly provoked.

Thanks for all the beauty.

Peace.

@rockinroller7 I hadn't noticed that (head/body at rest, beneath a setting sun) Ross. In looking at clouds or even a simple piece of wood one can more often than not find some sort of human form. Thanks for the insight. Peace.

@Ibanezfan93

Cool. didn't mean to imply he won't be around much longer, just to see him as often as possible, given how little we know about the future when it comes to life.

I'm sure you had a great time and will continue to.

Peace.

@curiousgeorge555

This is true. Over the years, taking photgraphs, mostly in the nature category, I've seen more things than I can recall. Most of the time others saw the same thing.

Such a curious thing, as well as interesting.

Your's was made most interesting given the setting of the sun just over the "body." Like a body at rest, or sleeping.

Peace.

Ross
