Neil Young - Out on the Weekend

Neil Young (born November 12, 1945) is a Canadian singer-songwriter, musician and film director. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist in 1995 and also as a member of Buffalo Springfield in 1997.

Young's work is characterized by deeply personal lyrics, distinctive guitar work, and signature tenor singing voice. Although he accompanies himself on several different instruments—including piano and harmonica, his clawhammer acoustic guitar style and often idiosyncratic electric guitar soloing are the linchpins of a sometimes ragged, sometimes polished sound. Although Young has experimented widely with differing music styles, including swing, jazz, rockabilly, blues, and electronic music throughout a varied career, his best known work usually falls into either of two distinct styles: acoustic folk/country ("Heart of Gold", "Harvest Moon" and "Old Man") and electric-charged hard rock (like "Cinnamon Girl", "Rockin' in the Free World" and "Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)"). In recent years, Young has adopted elements from newer styles like industrial, alternative country and grunge. Young's profound influence on the latter caused some to dub him "the Godfather of Grunge".

Think I'll pack it in
and buy a pick-up
Take it down to L.A.
Find a place to call my own
and try to fix up.
Start a brand new day.

The woman I'm thinking of,
she loved me all up
But I'm so down today
She's so fine, she's in my mind.
I hear her callin'.

See the lonely boy,
out on the weekend
Trying to make it pay.
Can't relate to joy,
he tries to speak and
Can't begin to say.

She got pictures on the wall,
they make me look up
From her big brass bed.
Now I'm running down the road
trying to stay up
Somewhere in her head.

The woman I'm thinking of,
she loved me all up
But I'm so down today
She's so fine she's in my mind.
I hear her callin'.

See the lonely boy,
out on the weekend
Trying to make it pay.
Can't relate to joy,
he tries to speak and
Can't begin to say.

@celticlofts This man, Neil Young, reminds me of my dad and has since I can remember. I recently lost my dad and now this music reminds me of my dad on a whole other level. I feel you!

Had this in my head all day. Must be five years since I last heard it. Serendipity?

Beautiful. Thanks.

I was 10 years old when I bought this album from the money I got from my paper round and to this day I still have that album. I would listen to it as often as I could get my turn with the record player and it was because of this album that my dad bought me my first guitar. I had it for 35 years but sadly it was stolen from my car and I never got it back. It's sad because it was the only thing my dad ever bought me. This album brings back lots of memories, yeah lots of memories indeed.

lol Just realized lady gaga did her own little version of this song at the beginning of her song, fooled me again, honest eyes. It's pretty cool that Gaga's a Neil Young fan and rock and roll fan in general!
