i was 15 and high for the first time. my brother played this album. i've never been the same. not so high just thinking Neil young was God. I'm 48 and am still trying to think he's not.

I would like to share my experience with this song. I went to see Neil for the first time a few months ago at his solo show. The crowd was mostly older so there wasn't too much singing along. But when Neil sang the line "I was lying in a burned out basement, with the full moon in my eye." Everyone sang along. It just sort of captured that side of humanity that you don't always see in other people. Neil brought it out in a group of thousands.

@AreaCode978 Yep, his voice was definitely a one of a kind voice.

Beautiful, pure, and true. I wish someone would come along in today's music and make me feel the way Neil Young always does.
-
@AreaCode978 Ohh, I see. Thanks a lot, that'll make things a lot easier.

Nice Lyrics, nice song

@xRyan5 Whole steps are one note differences. So...if you played a D, then an E would be one "whole step" higher. An octave is the same note, just higher or lower on the piano. Changing the key to make singing easier is sort of like using a capo on a guitar.

@AreaCode978 Are whole steps just another word for octaves? I know how to play this song, but I can't sing along to it thanks to my low voice.
I just learned how to play this on piano. Fun. Except I have to play it 2 whole steps higher because I can't sing this high.

@AreaCode978 Yep, I do it with guitar and I sing a full octave lower. I can sing it high but it feels wrong for my voice.
