Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
love this part of the song: "Thinking 'bout the times we had Some were good and some were bad Guitar fighting' the TV." specifically the part where he says Guitar fighting the tv. shame there isnt any other posts for such a beautiful song.
Definitely agree, gives me an instant strong sense of connection to Neil Young. Often if I'm playing guitar and singing, it's for the one I love whether I announce such a thing or not, and it breaks your heart just a little if she turns on the tv halfway through...
Beautiful song. I think it's about relationships, and looking back over time at the time spent together with your partner. "True love conquers all." I would also say that it's about life in general, and how time passes so quickly, and it's important to remember what really matters.
Neil Young, really, is sort of a New Age songwriter. Obviously he's "folk-rock" too, but there's a strong spiritual streak running through his songs This whole album (Harvest Moon) is very "spiritual" in the First Nations, shamanistic meaning of the word This is one of his better albums, I feel, and this is a great song. Agree with floydian18, too "guitar fightin' the TV" isa great line.
I think this song is about truely being happy with your life and the love you have for you family. All couples have hard times and disagrements, but if the love is real like he says "true love conqours all". He is very happy with his life with Peggy and his children. Neil has much pride for his family. As time has crept up on Neil and the grey has started to show he knows that his relationship with his family is truely wonderful. He is telling us all that life goes by fast and don't let the hard times get in the way. "True love conquors all"
One of my very favorite Neil Young acoustic songs. Just gorgeous. I think Neil is talking about he and his wife, Peggy, and the ups and downs of a marriage. But the key is that indeed "true love conquors all." I always considered "You And Me" the emotional center of HARVEST MOON. Just a beautiful, vulnerable song.
