revolution blues

i find it weird that it's possible for one single individual to create so many beautiful words and melodies. the person i'm talking about is neil young. for the last two years or so, i have really discovered his music and found that i simply love the way he sings, the words he writes and the way he plays guitar. right now my favourite album is on the beach, from 1974. i think i will always listen to his music. i hope that it will live on for many generations to come, and not be sucked into the variaty of popular music that is beeing made today. it would be sad if my children or my grandchildren found no interest in listening to his songs. their lives would be emptier.


Well all those headlights, they just bore me now
I'm deep inside myself but I'll get out somehow
and I'll stand before you
and I'll bring a smile to your eyes

  1. On the Beach is one of the greatest, most overlooked records of all time. Along with Zuma, this is Neil's best work, imho.

    Have you read the Neil Young bio "Shakey"? It's well worth your time - the description of these recording sessions are amazing.
