Nils Lofgren - Like A Hurricane (Neil Young)

"Nils Sings Neil" Album

lyrics:

Once I thought I saw you in a crowded hazy bar,
Dancing on the light from star to star.
Far across the moonbeam I know thats who you are,
I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire.

You are like a hurricane
Theres calm in your eye.
And Im gettin blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but Im getting blown away.

I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream,
You could have been anyone to me.
Before that moment you touched my lips
That perfect feeling when time just slips
Away between us on our foggy trip.

You are like a hurricane
Theres calm in your eye.
And Im gettin blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but Im getting blown away.

You are just a dreamer, and I am just a dream.
You could have been anyone to me.
Before that moment you touched my lips
That perfect feeling when time just slips
Away between us on our foggy trip.

You are like a hurricane
Theres calm in your eye.
And Im gettin blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but Im getting blown away.

Nils is THE man - which makes me wonder why I still don't have this album - Crooked Line is his best album by far but hey they are all great

[rickbangkok]

Awesome talent that is eternal! I recall cover bands doing this song at The Bayou in Georgetown, DC.........magic back then!

Isn't it fantastic how a song can exist at opposite ends of the sound spectrum? Nils' take is an exqisite lullaby. Compare and contrast to any live Crazy Horse version which is a joyous wet finger into an electric socket.

Let's get Nils in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!

[MovingTargetImages]

Simply beautiful. 

[LampoonedHerd]

I sing and play a lot of Grin

[PB111627]

Great alternative version of this song and in many ways more subtle than the original it certainly reaches out to me more.

[crocodileclaes]
