    My dad passed away in 2020, I'm 32 now and I recently went thru some more of my dads things. This song was on my mind so I had to play it. I love you dad and I miss you.

    My dad died when I was 29yrs.old. He did something I will never forget and think of often. He new I loved cars even from a very early age.When I was 16 he bought me a older used car and put the title in a envelope and stuck it on a branch of our Christmas tree. Thanks dad I think of you often

      That's awesome! Reminds me of a time back in 2000. My father and I drove by a car for sale in a parking lot that I wanted badly. I knew I didn't have enough for it, I was 3 grand short but I begged him to turn around so I could get the sellers #. I figured if I can't afford it I might as well take it for a quick test drive just for the hell of it lol. My father knew how much I loved that car since it was all I talked about for the next 2 days! The third day, I came home from work and I walked up the steps to the front door and there was a 100 dollar bill on the floor. I go to pick it up and a couple feet away was another one! To make an already long story short, he made a trail of $100s that led me to the living room where he was sitting in his favorite chair with the rest of the $ I needed for the car. We left right after and bought the car. He was very special to everyone who knew him. I was 25 when he died in 06. Deer jumped out of the woods and knocked him off his motorcycle. I wish my kids had more time to spend with him. They were too young to remember much. RIP Randy Ligotino 1953-2006

    I was roughly 24 years old when I first heard this and I instantly fell in love with it. Now I'm 75 and I'm the old "man", and I love this song even more than ever before. Neil Young was a musical genius to be able to write such an emotional song that has stayed deep inside my heart for almost my entire lifetime.

      @@chrishorst1318”old man take a look at my life im a lot like you were”. Although not necessarily about “dad” can really hit home. Just that line to me, thats me and my old man(old man is a common term for sons to call their dads, i.e. “my old man, blah blah blah”. Well, when my dad was my age he had 2 boys about my daughters age. He was a functional alcoholic, we had food and a home. We took small family vacations to my grandpas cabin. That is literally my life right now. Art is in the eye of the beholder, what it means to you or me or the artist or that 24 year old kid that started this comment thread may all be different but are all still valid, THATS WHAT ART IS!

      It's really unfortunate. They were my biggest streams on Spotify. I hate to really say it, but Neil Young was being a bit of a hypocrite there. He built his career on counterculture and anti-government protest and then turns around and threatens a free speech platform for promoting free speech. I'm not going to pretend that COVID is not a touchy subject, but free speech is free speech, and Neil Young chose not to support it

    My father passed away last November. He taught me lots about music. Got me into playing the guitar and this was the first song I learned. Challenging for a beginner but it was something I wanted to play for my dad at 10 years old.
    Moved to college… got the call at 20 he passed. Came home and immediately went to the record room and played this album. For 2 months I played this album. Crying every damn time. Thank you Neil Young (even though you will never see this)

    Just chatting to a random old man who got out of his car and wanted to pet my dog.
    I said of course and his eyes lit up.
    He said he’d lost his wife and had border collies in the past(our dog is a collie)
    He wanted to give him a treat and looked in his car but couldn’t find any so I gave him one to give to our dog.
    Dog sat,wagged his tail and gave the old guy his paw.
    Think that made the old guys day and I thought of this song after leaving and carrying on…Neil Young captures the memories in a lot of his songs….been a fan for 50 years now and the songs never grow old like we do❤

I love all three and my three grand children but there is a special bond between my son and me which makes me hope that my old man was alot like i am now. and I got the time to get to know my son and him me, there is nothing I wont do for all of them if I can make it possible I will. and I know they would for me (thanks neil you helped stablelize me).

  • @robinwhetstone
    @robinwhetstone Місяць тому +5

    I vividly remember the first time I heard this song. I was 4 and riding around with my dad in his orange Dodge Dart. This would have been 1974.
    My dad listened to a lot of music, and most of it was just noise to a 4-year-old. So when he put Harvest on the 8-Track and this song came on, I took notice.
    Simple and pretty, like a lullaby, with words I could clearly hear. And even if I didn't understand the meaning of the words (what's upsetting about an old man?), the music told me that this song was very...sad, definitely, but also something that 4-year-old me couldn't name yet.
    This song (as well as "Can't Find My Way Home" and "Ricky Don't Lose That Number") quickly became one of my most requested when we rode around in his orange Dodge Dart.
    My dad was a difficult, complicated man. The very good parts of him, like his humor, sense of adventure, and love of music quickly became lost to the very bad parts of him. So when I traveled home in 2004 to be the person to take him off life support, it had been 7 years since we'd spoken.
    I was 34 when this happened, and I definitely cried, but not because of him. I cried because I was the only child of the kind of father who would end up making his only child be the one to decide to take him off life support and stand alone with him for the 7 minutes it took him to die. After that cry, I moved on. All in all, I was relieved that he was gone.
    In the 20 years since then, I would occasionally wonder over how rarely I thought of my father, or missed him at all. Wasn't that kind of strange? Was I deluding myself about how sad I was? Was this healthy?
    This morning, I read a line from Old Man on Reddit and remembered this song, a favorite from so, so long ago. I came here to listen for the first time in many decades, and stood in my kitchen and cried for my father.
    He was a complicated and difficult man, but he was also the kind of man who would introduce his 4-year-old to Neil Young, and so much other music.
    He gave me more than just sorrow and trouble, he gave me my humor, my love of adventure, and my love of music, which is something that has sustained me all these years.
    I'm 54 realizing there's so much more to who my old man was and how I felt about him, and why his death made me sad.
    This song helped me finally, fully grieve him -- all of him -- and I'm thankful for that. I miss him, because there was something worthy of being missed. I'm glad I listened today.

For anyone who sees this, never forget to tell your dad you love him. I love you dad. Thank you for everything you did and continue to do for me.

    My father is about to go. While I had a father, I never had a dad and the relationship I never had is what I mourn. This song really hits home as I've always been afraid I'll become like him and continue to be even at 45. Wonderful song.

      I have a similar situation with my dad, never had a relationship with him, but I feel I’m some way I became a lot like him from his good qualities he had got passed down to me, yet my older brother is like him in the worst traits, and hearing this song kinda hit home from watch Due Date and now has a place in my playlist now.

    This song has always reminded me of my Dad. Growing up we didn't have the best relationship. 2 years ago my Dad got sober and we mended our relationship. The last two years it has been amazing. Unfortunately, earlier this year, my Dad was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. I just left the nursing home, where my Dad is now at, during what we believe to be our last days with him. This song brought me to tears instantly. If you're Dad is still alive and it's healthy enough for you, please go give him a hug for me. Life is so precious

    My dad died in 2021. He was my best friend, my mentor, my life inspiration. I’ve followed in his footsteps. Every day I think about what he did, what he would do. I’m just like him. That’s what I’m most proud of. Rip pops lops.

      My dad died a year ago tomorrow, and I'm still waiting for the day when hearing his name makes me smile instead of cry. Like you, he was my best friend. The last night of his life I pushed his hospice bed and oxygen up to the tv and listened to music with him all night until he passed. He wasn't able to open his eyes or speak by that point, and he couldn't move his fingers, but I know he heard his favorite songs and me telling him over and over what an impact he had on my life and how much I was going to miss him. I miss him a ton.
