Neil Young - See The Sky About To Rain

From On The Beach (1974)
----------------------------------------­----

SEE THE SKY ABOUT TO RAIN

See the sky about to rain, broken clouds and rain.
Locomotive, pull the train, whistle blowing through my brain.
Signals curling on an open plain, rolling down the track again.
See the sky about to rain.

Some are bound for happiness, some are bound to glory
Some are bound to live with less, who can tell your story?

See the sky about to rain, broken clouds and rain.
Locomotive, pull the train, whistle blowin' through my brain.
Signals curlin' on an open plain, rollin' down the track again.
See the sky about to rain.

I was down in Dixie Land, played a silver fiddle
Played it loud and then the man broke it down the middle.
See the sky about to rain.

Why not?

[BillyL1992]

Robert Plant has known to give praise to Neil Young. The effect at the beginning just goes to well together with down by the seaside. Bert Jansch had one hell of an influence on many bands.

[peerman2006]

I never knew that. Another related piece of trivia is that Neil Young's Ambulance Blues was taken from Needle of Death by Bert Jansch, who's arrangement of Black Waterside was stolen by Jimmy Paige.

[John Delmos]

runnin thru my brain this song why?

[BillyL1992]

Zeppelin drew influence from this song with Down by the Seaside. You can hear it in the tremolo effect.

[Jonas Butler]

"Till the Morning Comes" is another under-the-radar classic. I think it's less than a minute and a half long but it's glorious!

[Jonas Butler]

My smokin' song <3

[CelestialWoodway]

Great hidden gems on all of his albums.

[Nathan Batten]

Great song!

[caveman123ization]

I can't stop listening to this song!
