Hi, this is Neil. Link to the NYA info-card for this song with press, documents, manuscripts, photos, videos. Look around NYA for fun and listening! ALL my music in high resolution at neilyoungarchives.com/info-card?track=t1989_0614_01
Yes sir the legend.. Thank you for everything you did for rock and roll.. We salute you.. Sending love for Ottawa Canada.. Staff safe at this difficult time and God bless everyone
We have Boris Johnson talking about a point of light in a recent address he gave. I know a big thing was made about Bush's speech including that kind of phrase.
So bush who is a globilist like his daddy is actually on the same side as Neal amazing how blind the left are it's all about a NWO Neal where there is no free world except for the elite who control it
Canada's great. Fuck the truckers, fuck Joe Rogan, fucking Russian assets. Now they have been exposed as Russian assets. Glad that Canada still stands strong as one of the leading Western nations.
Canadians, many beyond simple sometimes. "the now old Neil Young " the latest example of the ultimate hypocrite as he trashes Canada , tries to ruin the economy, & we have comments like this from people who don't understand. Cheers
I listen to this song at least 10 times a day. ❤🎸💜 No one like Neil Young... I hope everyone that comes across this song understands the meaning of the song...
I remember seeing Neil do this song on Midnight Special. He popped two strings on his guitar and never skipped a beat. 50 years later and it is still relevant.
There's colors on the street Red, white and blue People shufflin' their feet People sleepin' in their shoes But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them So I try to forget it any way I can Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world I see a woman in the night With a baby in her hand There's an old street light (near a garbage can) Near a garbage can (near a garbage can) And now she put the kid away and she's gone to get a hit She hates her life and what she's done to it There's one more kid that'll never go to school Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world We got a thousand points of light For the homeless man We got a kinder, gentler machine gun hand We got department stores and toilet paper Got Styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world
"There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead" Well you know what they say, either die a legend or live long enough to see yourself become a commie LMAO

I seen his appearance on SNL performing this song and ive never seen SNL with as much energy as they had that night everyone was in this the cast all of them were rocking that night no one could sit still it still puts chills on me
I get a rush every time i hear this song i wanna get up and go!! this is a great song, one of his best songs (in my opinion). thanks uncle neil for this great song!
Saw Neil Young for the first time at Hyde Park this year, was absolutely incredible, when this song came on the whole place went crazy! Keep on rocking baby!
@@jpartlol6958you giant babies, he didn't demand the government stop Joe Rogan from expressing his views. He chose to not associate with a company that platformed a man spreading very dangerous misinformation that is personal to Niels life. No ones free speech is being stifled when a business chooses to not platform someone, you whiny children
Yon not only look like a joke you arer a joke. Sold your music Hipgnosus that partnered with Blackstone. Now your songs help to defirest the Amazon rain forest .
How does it make you feel now that he pulled "keep on rocking in the free world" from Spotify because they refuse to censor Joe Rogans thoughts on vaccines.
@@pwells10 Considering that the point of this song is to point out the difference between what the US says and what it does and how much harm that causes, it's pretty consistent that he would have a problem with people pushing outright falsehoods that hurt people, no?
@@SuperNovice007 well said brother. Where do people get the idea this song is a patriotic hoo rah thing? Neil Young isn't even American. Lol. Neil Young is unfortunately getting the same treatment Bruce Springsteen got in the 90s. An artist loved by "the good old boys" becomes an advocate, they get branded as a dirty liberal, they lose their audience. It's too bad. Respect to Niel for holding his ground on something he believes to be right
Just wait until the Gov't wants to force medical experiments on everyone without proper informed consent and Neil comes out in favor of it. He probably should give Eric Clapton a call to see just how "safe and effective" experimental gene therapy is.
Seeing this video and hearing these lyrics after everything that's happening in the last few years made me cry. This masterpiece aged perfectly. Edit: for everyone replying about Neil and the Joe Rogan situation, I really don’t care. I always separate the music from the person, and plus it’s really not that big of a deal.
I am a punk rocker, but Neil Young has a special place in my heart too. This is an awesome song that is so often completely misunderstood. Thank you, Neil.
Some people in this comment section seriously don’t understand free speech. Yes, with free speech Joe Rogan can say whatever the hell he wants, however Young also has the right to take action if he disagrees with it. Freedom (real freedom at least) is a two way street.
I love this Neil. You are the coolest and I support everything you believe in. I love the original video because I love your music and the sing. But this kickass and speaks volume ! ☮☮☮🤟👍👍👍🎤🥁🎸

Didn't we play this when the Berlin Wall came down in '89? Let's send it around the World again, some people are forgetting how precious life is, this song is the perfect example of that ethos, bless you all, every single one of you, thank you Neil Young. God bless Ukraine 💖💖💖💖💖💖

@@peterfarrelly9909 Kick Ass I will be doing a Drum Cover of this in next week or so, gotta keep the rock alive
Most people know the lyrics to the chorus but a lot more need to listen to the rest of it. This song will unfortunately never get old...
"There's one more kid
That'll never go to school
Never get to fall in love
Never get to be cool"
Great, haunting lyrics.
Sad 😔 but it is completely true
*Keep on rocking in the free world.!*
@Luke Skyballer agreed. That's also a very memorable line. Besides, a kinger, gentler machine gun hand is crucial to your killing comfort so....
So bush who is a globilist like his daddy is actually on the same side as Neal amazing how blind the left are it's all about a NWO Neal where there is no free world except for the elite who control it
Yeah, because the kid is dead from myocarditis developed after the jab. Lmao
After all these years nothing has gotten better. But songs like this are SO IMPORTANT! Thank you Neil, love you so much ❤

I'm p#ssed of that Neil has blocked his music on Spotify. No more rocking in the free world for me. Mood: sad
The irony of this video is unfathomable.

I don’t care what anyone one says about the song or Neil young this is a great song and so are others by him
Now that we know Niel Young is censoring the free world I am curious if you feel the same way.

There's colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them
So I try to forget it any way I can
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
There's an old street light (near a garbage can)
Near a garbage can (near a garbage can)
And now she put the kid away and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life and what she's done to it
There's one more kid that'll never go to school
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler machine gun hand
We got department stores and toilet paper
Got Styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Thank you
Too bad Neil young's a fake
" People sleeping in their shoes"
Ain't that right 🤦🏻♀️
Not sure about the toilet paper Neil.
"There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead"
Well you know what they say, either die a legend or live long enough to see yourself become a commie LMAO
Listening to this today, as the world creeps closer to the brink...
Yea and the people niel support are bringing us to that brink as there NWO slips closer to a living nightmare and hell on earth
The nature of the Beast---
From the beginning---

Just wait til you see what’s going on this year now
Neil Young, an American/Canadian Legend..always doing whats right.
Glad to see I'm not the only one finding the irony here.
Allogory
This song gets me all pumped up. What a great tune. Truly a classic. Thanks Neil.

Amazing Guy , amazing musician and amazing song . When I first heard this it blew me away !!!
one of the very few who has understood the reel nature of American society. Still brilliant after all those years
And yet he vehemently opposed the only President that hadn’t started, expanded, or promoted ANY wars. Hmmmmm…maybe he’s full of s**t too.
