Ben Greaves- Old man( Neil young cover)

Ben Greaves in Albion place Leeds city centre playing a cover of a Neil young song,
Neil Young wrote this song about the caretaker of the ranch he bought in 1970.

Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.

Old man look at my life,
Twenty four
and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two.

Love lost, such a cost,
Give me things
that don't get lost.
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you.

Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true.

Lullabies, look in your eyes,
Run around the same old town.
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you.

I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past.
But I'm all alone at last.
Rolling home to you.

Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true.

Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.

yeah, it is a bit fast. I think I was trying to take it away from the original a bit so that I can plam mute more, which tends to get more effect from the people passing. I have actually slowed it down a touch since this recording was done.

A little fast I thought too. But the more I listened, the more I liked it. Nice touch making it your own. -5 star-
