Neil Young - Words (Between the Lines of Age)

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".

Someone and someone
were down by the pond
Looking for something
to plant in the lawn.
Out in the fields they
were turning the soil
I'm sitting here hoping
this water will boil
When I look through the windows
and out on the road
They're bringing me presents
and saying hello.
Singing words, words
between the lines of age.
Words, words
between the lines of age.

(song is interupted after which there is studio talk, then the song continues)

Words, words
between the lines of age.
Words, words
between the lines of age.

If I was a junkman
selling you cars,
Washing your windows
and shining your stars,
Thinking your mind
was my own in a dream
What would you wonder
and how would it seem?
Living in castles
a bit at a time
The King started laughing
and talking in rhyme.
Singing words, words
between the lines of age.
Words, words
between the lines of age.

and saying hello.
Singing words, words

@sonrisolprarebater dude, sometimes songs are just about what they're about. sometimes there's nothing to decipher. i would quit being so academic about it and just enjoy it for what it is... one of the greatest of all time

[rldickie]

@sonrisolprarebater I think it makes more sense if you're really high, or imagine being really high. It's abstract psychedelia. Fantastic tune.

[sonrisolprarebater]

@Forestflavour Mine too.

[gorkididi]

@freebova I agree.

[sonrisolprarebater]

@passwordbird the tempo?

[sonrisolprarebater]

This song, what is it about? Does anyone know? I'm looking for some interpretations, but, sometimes, Neil Young can be a little bit hermetic, at least for me, hehe.
