Today I'm thinking of Neil Young. Actually I've been thinking of his songs all weekend, but today I can't get this particular song out of my head. Heart of Gold. You know, Neil is an acquired taste. But once you get it, it goes deep. So, to all my Rust comrades, here's a song to share.

Music, not words
Sometimes I have a problem with expressing myself. It's good to have a blog to help me work through that, but still even writing becomes difficult. When I was a child I learned to be quiet, real quiet. I learned that records were an escape, with their hypnotic rotation of crackling orchestration; warm voices crying, wailing, hoping. For the last couple of years I've had to learn to be quiet again, because sometimes saying anything destroys all that is around. That's just the way it is, for me and a lot of people.

Took my daughter to an ortho today. Perhaps you know the pain . . . money, money, money falling out of you like water. She has a lovely smil...
Had to listen to it twice. What beautiful clear sounds and such a penetrating voice. Always did love that song.
ReplyDeleteI love when he says he had to lose the band because he had too much equipment (harmonicas). Too funny!
ReplyDelete"This one's in G if anyone wants to blow along with me." : D
ReplyDeleteI had no voice as a child as well, which is why music was and is so important to me...

(((HUGS))) Pearl. You can always speak here!
ReplyDeleteNeil Young is my favorite singer. I have most of his albums and love this song you chose. Listening to Harvest Moon though, puts my mind in a good place - if you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteHow young he was there, and how much hair he had then.
Amy, that's one of my favourites too.
ReplyDeleteI must say I've never been a big fan of Neil - I guess I haven't acquired the taste yet. I can relate to using music for expression.
ReplyDeleteStarting Over- Harvest Moon is one of my favorite albums, hands down.
ReplyDeleteCro- Highfive^^^
Talli- That's okay. And yay for music as expression!
Didn't he take ages to get going, but a beautiful song, well sung.
ReplyDeleteMolly- Yes, he did take forever, haha! I'd love to see this whole program. Might have to look on Netflix.
