    Neil Young is a natural born talented musician. He's my all-time favorite singer songwriter and producer of the finest music ever.

      This album sold well and sort of put Neil back in the public's eye. You are right, it's a very good album.

    Neil Young is a unique song writer. He has his own sound. No one else can sound like Neil Young no matter how hard they try. He's authentic - just himself. A great musician.

  • @motorcaster57

    This a song I didn't hear until this week and it is 30 years old. I have made it a point to learn the parts with the intention of recording it... The chords are pretty simple with just a few little rubs, but very very heavy when put with the lyric... The first line of the song is pure Neil 'genius' ..... "Living on the edge of night, you know the sun don't go down slow".... In other worlds if you are an addict and you even think you are close to the edge, you are on the edge and the end comes very fast... In that singular moment you move yourself into the finite realm (death)...... Steve Jordan and Charlie Drayton are the best rhythm section alive today!!!!!!

      I watched this live and to your point…
      (And before reading your comment)
      I always could’ve sworn that they in fact had switched places for no more during the actual live aired performance?
      I could be imagining it.
      Also Needle might have been before Rocking in the free world live?
      (Less confident on that one)

    Livin' on the edge of night
    You know the sun won't go down slow
    You don't know which drug is right
    Can't decide which way you wanna go
    I feel the way you feel
    'Cause not so long ago
    It had a hold on me
    I couldn't let it go
    It wouldn't set me free
    It wouldn't set me free
    No more, no more, no more
    Seemed like the easy thing
    To let it go for one more day
    Like singin' the same old song
    And twistin' the words
    In a different way
    Where did the magic go
    I searched high and low
    I can't find it no more
    I can't get it back
    I can't find it no more
    I can't find it no more
    No more, no more, no more, no more
    Searchin' for quality
    Havin' to have the very best
    Now scroungin' for quantity
    Never havin' time
    To do the test
    That's how the story goes
    Can't put it down
    'Til the last page
    I can't put it down
    I can't put it down
    I can't put it down
