I'm growing old and I'm grateful for you both. It couldn't have been easy, but I love and thank you both with all my heart.i was 14. You kept me pristine and safe. You taught me to sing Neil Young. I am still singing........

    What stuns me about Neil Young is how he can bring such beauty and depth to his music done with his acoustic guitars but then his "all guns blazing" pyrotechnic electric voice is just as good - just somehow different facets of his intuitive brilliance that are somehow the same. God I love his songs and music..

    He came dancing across the water
    With his galleons and guns
    Looking for the new world
    And that palace in the sun.
    On the shore lay Montezuma
    With his coca leaves and pearls
    In his halls he often wandered
    With the secrets of the worlds.
    And his subjects gathered 'round him
    Like the leaves around a tree
    In their clothes of many colors
    For the angry gods to see.
    And the women all were beautiful
    And the men stood straight and strong
    They offered life in sacrifice
    So that others could go on.
    Hate was just a legend
    And war was never known
    The people worked together
    And they lifted many stones.
    And they carried them to the flatlands
    But they died along the way
    And they built up with their bare hands
    What we still can't do today.
    And I know she's living there
    And she loves me to this day
    I still can't remember when
    Or how I lost my way.
    He came dancing across the water
    Cortez, Cortez
    What a killer.

    extraordinary acoustic performance..what a masterpiece, then there's Natutal Beauty, Inca Queen, Hurricane soo many more that just transcend music...more of an inner connection to past, and resonating to previous incarnations, in long forgotten civilizations but they ,"Built up with their bare hands,xwhat we stil can't do today " sticks out for me...because we stil cannot in 2023....I believe with certainty that they didn't build it with their bare hands but with their minds and with water and frequency...and off planet help....

      And every bit of that song is factually incorrect. The Aztecs were hyper-violent, warlike trash who were stupid, cruel, and extremely violent. They were killers and cannabals. It was Cortez who forbade the human sacrifices and cannabalism and brought them Catholicism, relative civility, and the Spanish language.

      I've been listening to brother Neil for 45 years . Fortunate enough to see him perform 5 times. You cant compare any other song writer of the present to Neil Young. If I had to it would absolutely be Eddie Vedder. Listen to just breathe. Off he goes. Or release. Eddie and Neil are close friends. ✌
