A song about age, about generations, about the circle of life. On the tune, Neil Young sings over an acoustic guitar, sweetly, mournfully. A younger character is speaking to an older one. And they are realizing their similarities but also how they are different because of the age gap between them. Indeed, sings Young on the sublime offering,
Old man, look at my lifeI’m a lot like you wereOld man, look at my lifeI’m a lot like you were
For Young, who was known for thoughtful and poetic songs like the one above, this track from him freaking rips. It’s as enlivening and inspiring as any. It’s big and bold with its giant electric guitars. It’s not a sonnet put to music. It’s a muscle flex speaking about the power of music during times that are especially tough. Sings Young,
There’s colors on the streetRed, white and bluePeople shufflin’ their feetPeople sleepin’ in their shoesBut there’s a warnin’ signon the road ahead
“Cowgirl in the Sand” from Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere (1969)A fantasy, a fairy tale, on this 1969 single, Young dreams of a woman in the sand. But everyone loves this woman. She is like that Platonic ideal of perfection. And so Young wrote this ode to her as he tries to catch her eye and ear. To open the tune, Young greets the gal and asks if he can spend a little time. He sings,
Hello cowgirl in the sandIs this place at your commandCan I stay here for a whileCan I see your sweet sweet smile
