"Helpless" is a song written by Canadian singer-songwriter Neil Young, most famously recorded by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young on their 1970 album Déjà Vu.

"Helpless" was originally recorded with Young's band Crazy Horse in early 1969, before Young's new CSNY bandmates (he had joined the then-trio in mid-1969) convinced him it would suit them better. The song was simple, at its core effectively the repetition of one melody over a descending D-A-G chord progression, but despite (or perhaps because of) its simplicity the group found difficulty deciding on an arrangement and many different versions of the song were recorded before the group finally decided on the slow-paced version that appeared on the album.
The song's second verse contains the surreal nature-inspired imagery that was typical of Young's early 1970s work, similar to the lyrics of the well-known title track from the After The Gold Rush album: Blue, blue windows behind the stars Yellow moon on the rise Big birds flying across the sky Throwing shadows on our eyes

Hey seanmcgrath1...great job on the tune, back up singing is stellar, great harmonica and percussion...yeah, the guy on the drums looks a little dangerous...or he used to be, not sure...I've seen that look in my ex-wife's eyes...but she's better now.

I don't seem to see video footage of all four on camera at the same time...I'm wondering if the drummer "phoned in" his work from a lonely cabin in the Rockies...or his mom's kitchen...though if that's the case, kudos for a great mix job.

Awesome cover of Neil, such justice here!!

This is amazing, it is probably my favourite NY song. The dude on the bass and drums, however, has crazy eyes and it makes me very uneasy haha.
