Long live Old Black!

This song, the lyricism, the whole vibe, it's all so emotionally charged. I can help but cry a little tear everytime I listen to it. Neil'll do that to ya sometimes. Bless him so.

I picture a Union gun boat making incursions into diehard confederate back waters during the civil war. A young man whose older brothers are off fighting stands his ground on his families riverside dock. In a fit of youthful bradagio he no sooner levels his hunting rifle and his face is shot off into the sky. Then his fleeting spirit energy surveys the scene in the last verse.

I can just see that boat coming

It's a good sounding song and I like how it transports you to another time and place.

"...and my face splashed in the sky..." The character in the song is falling into the river in the vertigo of his last dying moments. The sky would be reflected in the surface of the water. It's brilliant....

@eppurse Come on guys! Know your music history. Neil Young wrote a song called Southern Man, remember? Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote one back called Sweet Home Alabama where one of the lines was "I hope Neil Young will remember, a southern man dodn't need him around anyhow..." Geez. One guy got my joke, my inbox was flooded with comments from people thinking I was ragging on Neil...LOL

@PlanTonto Lol!

@567wolfen Last verse is sort of an eulogy, so I think the character bought the farm

@PlanTonto The Southern WHITE man maybe...
