[@susanpeterson9947]

This is my favorite Neil Young song. Thanks very much for reacting to it.

[@philging]

I saw Neil Young at the Wembley Arena, London in 1982 - fantastic performer and very entertaining on stage.

[@chrismayer2468]

Neil is a home town gem ,went to high school down the street from my house,Winnipeg Manitoba Canada will always be his home.👍✌️

[@bethmerryfield7186]

You are a kind and caring young man.

[@maryjaneblahnik5767]

One of the most unique voices in the rock era. Great song.

[@minnidrake8516]

Neil young rocks amazing songwriter and performer really enjoy your channel

[@pamelajordan5948]

I love Neal love this song he's kind and humble

[@kimkoula1005]

Your mindset is awesome...keep it up. Big fan!

[@edwarddearlove7093]

im 68 now and this song has touched my heart every time.....love your reactions and you show your wonderful heart through it all...love you man....jesus found me when i was 40...His love drew me and consumes me to this day.keep on keeping on man

[@cheryla7480]

I love that you love Neal’s music! He’s a treasure from my home town ( Winnipeg, Manitoba ). We are also blessed to be the home town to The Guess Who and Randy Bachman of BTO!

[@brenthaskin8484]

I look at the heart of gold he is searching for as being his heart. We are all trying to be our best.

[@Hartlor_Tayley]

So many great albums in 1971, it boggles the mind.

[@gregman1715]

Love His Song's 👍

[@alanshepherd4304]

Bought this on my 17th birthday, then the album Harvest. Explore Neil Young, his range of musical styles will stun and exite you. It did me and it will you. Enjoy!!😷🇬🇧

[@eileendobbs8574]

I love Neil Young. It's rather long song but Cowgirl In The Sand is excellent. Anything with he and Crazy Horse is worth a listen or 10.

[@christinerobinson548]

I'm so grateful that we have videos and recordings to pass down to future generations.

[@sharilynbratton6476]

One reason I love Neil is his harmonica playing; my daddy died when I was only 4 ( I'm 58 now), and I have very few memories of him. He was only 35 when he died in a car accident. But one thing I do remember is he played the harmonica and I have memories of sitting on the front porch step beside him while he played the harmonica for me. He called me his 'Sugar Booger', ha. So Neil always makes me connect in my heart to Daddy.

[@bobespirit2112]

This song dominated the radio the summer of 1972...loved it then and still do.

[@bruceday4036]

Great insight on what the songs about from such a young man. Proud to see young people with that kind of insight and love of music. And of course, he appreciates Neil Young

[@nodrush80]

Take your time Neil😊

[@dogstar7]

That comment you read, the proud father who missed his son. THAT was the Heart of Gold!!!

[@ianhamilton2035]

Another awesome job! Thank you, love how to take the time to figure out the meaning! Neil is a great lyricist!!! Check out "Powderfinger", "Cortez the Killer", and "Like a Hurricane", electric versions with Crazy Horse!! 😃

[@catleeper]

Awesome song to listen to after all these years. I’m 65 now and still love it. You would probably like Cowgirl in the Sand.

[@keymack2477]

Thank you for your reaction, Daniel! Neil Young is a true Canadian treasure. Just listen to this beautiful song performed by just one man with his guitar and his harmonica (in the key of G). Song suggestions would include The Needle and the Damage Done, Rockin' In The Free World, Harvest Moon, Cinnamon Girl, Down By The River, Hey Hey My My and Southern Man.

[@klm23.98]

The greatest poet from Omeemee Ontario Canada

[@ElusvOptmst1]

I always loved this song by Neil Young. He is phenomenal. Great reaction.

[@lynette.]

Its lovely seeing him young you forget what a personable man he is. Playing the harmonica and guitar combo was around a lot with folksingers.

[@nancyaugustine9000]

one of my all time faves

[@dinacox1971]

I love that you love him. I am in my 60s and have loved his music for a VERY long time. Whatsmore is that he is still creating. He has shown this same talent, spirit, and humanity for all these years. He commented some time ago that it was funny for him to play 'old man' now that he is an old man....LOLOL

[@stevefoulston]

One you might like is a more recent one "Harvest Moon" its a feel good song and you get to see Neil to dancing with his wife Pegi as a older guy Linda Ronstadt provides backup vocal's love and peace.

[@annfreels3071]

Steve Foulstone I love Harvest Moon!

[@jonathaneves5847]

Great reaction and analysis. Neil is a true innovator, he's inspired so many people and bands, and has so many styles himself. Considered the King of Grunge. He and Dylan became great friends. This is my first of your reactions, once I saw Neil's name I thought " gotta see this " worth every moment. I'm 65 an ageing hippy, I've seen Neil many times live from the 70's to the 2000's, never fails to put on a great show. New subscriber. Greetings from Liverpool 🇬🇧. ✌️🐝

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

He is indeed awesome.

[@classicrocklady6288]

You, young man, are so adept at seeing the depth of meaning in these singer songwriter 'stories '. I'm old...I grew up on these songs. It is so special to me to see a new generation 'get it'! Thank you for what you do!

[@dalem8332]

Great song! This performance was 1971.. Heart Of Gold and Old Man both off his 1972 Album HARVEST. Great album that went to #1. Heart Of Gold was also a #1 single. 😎🎼🎵🎶🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@raymondarata6549]

Daniel, you are fantastic at what you are doing. If you reacted to every great Neil Young song until you did them all, you would be an old man and a lot like me. You should check out his surfing music when he was with the Squires.

[@byronmitchell3784]

NEIL YOUNG, "HEART OF GOLD". THE HARVEST, ALBUM. FRESHMAN YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL. MY FRIENDS AND I ADORED HIS MUSIC.. DANIEL YOU THE MAN... ALONG WITH HIS BACK UP BAND, CRAZY HORSE. "CINNAMON GIRL", "DOWN BY THE RIVER".

[@parinthianquattropani9071]

Such a nice feel good song. Neil really speaks to the soul. Thanks Daniel!

[@BigfootAnthropologist]

I love Neil Young. He's as great now as he was back then. Seen him a bunch of times. Hope to see him again anytime. Great to see you react to him and that you liked him. Please do more Neil Young.

[@catserver8577]

That crowd was so lucky.

[@ChicagoBeaver]

Great song by Neal, I remember it when it came on the radio. AM radio dude. We didn't have FM rock radio just yet in 1972, that came a few years later.

[@terrimobley6067]

Great song. And I love his simple on stage persona too

[@mimig3904]

"Only Love Can Break Your Heart" is another beautiful one of his. And of course, "Southern Man." His album After The Gold Rush is one of his best.

[@Idefixu]

"Cowgirl in the Sand" "Like a Hurricane"

[@plk5520]

Neil Young is one of a kind. Very unique. If you were to turn up the volume some, I sure wouldn't complain. I can always turn it down if it gets too loud.

[@MissAstorDancer]

I agree about the volume!!!!

[@ajschroetlin2196]

About 10 years ago I heard a stat that said Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young wrote 900 songs combined. Neil Young wrote 500 of them. I wonder what that number is today? A deep well. Listen to Mr. Soul from Buffalo Springfield to hear some early Neil.

[@SafferPOV]

Neil Young was never really fully part of CS&N, more an occasional sit it. He always was more of a loner. Stephen Stills himself was a great songwriter

[@valkyriefires]

Neil Young is awesome. I remember he left band twice, and CSN were not as successful. The Buffalo Springfield' song has a video that is on YT that is as relevant as early sixties.

[@twelveytwelve]

Anything from his classic "Harvest" album is a winner.

[@daveking9393]

You have some really great subscribers Whoever has really filled you in very well with these comments I love coming to your Channel

[@Bradds68]

It’s a fantastic song

[@stevevasell429]

Great tune, great reaction. I just became a patron. Please read my message to you on Patreon. Continue your musical journey. Its a pleasure travelling it with you. May I suggest " Southern Man " by Neil young. A very powerful statement.

[@TheYamaduta]

Hi Daniel, Love your reactions. There's a 2 minute video called How Neil Young came to write OHIO after kent State. And a video OHIO by Crosby, Stills Nash and Young, it's a must watch and listen.

[@joanbounacos8958]

Many musicians are afraid to play their new stuff in concert because people don't know it. People like to hear familiar music and are not as welcoming to new music. Brave musicians do it anyway. It takes a lot of courage to go on a stage, by yourself, play two instruments, sing, and bare your thoughts, your music, and feelings to thousands of people. And do it for over 50 years. Neil is masterful at it.

[@todd8414]

He also played piano in this concert. Very talented musician just him his guitar and harmonica and piano!

[@stevemd6488]

Incredible perceptive incite young man. Well done.

[@mynameispaul0530]

Neil Young and Crazy Horse "Cortez the Killer" live 1991 is amazing.

[@recyclerhopkins]

Daniel, Neil Young has many different styles to his music. On songs like Old Man, Heart of Gold and Love is a Rose his music sounds like Dylan but his voice, not as much. Neil went through phases where he played country, folk, grunge, a sort of heavy metal, '50s style rock-a-billy, new wave, computerized/industrial, blues and maybe soul (he was in a band with Rick James). Eventually you should do Ohio, Tonight's the Night, Needle and the Damage Done and Long May You Run. It's also about time you also checked out Linda Ronstadt, maybe You're No Good or When Will I be Loved. She also did a few Warren Zevon songs that are really good.

[@RandyHall324]

Came here to write the summary of his career...but you've already done it quite nicely. Agree with every recommended tune, especially Ohio. I'll also throw in After the Gold Rush.

[@MissAstorDancer]

@@RandyHall324 "After the Gold Rush", the song, is just fantastic!!!! The album by the same name is also fantastic - every single song, IMO!

[@Axeman517]

Lets not forget r&b with the Bluenotes and Booker T & the MGs

[@muriel2267]

He has so many gems! Needle and the damage done, Sugar mountain, he can also rock with the best of them...Keep on rockin’ in the free world, Cinnamon girl are just a few. Every other band or musician has a Neil Young story, he’s so special ♥️

[@sylvialee1079]

Daniel, can't begin to explain to you how much your listening, exploring the meaning and lyrics to our music means to me. I have been on a quest to pass it on. So many of these artists created the lyrics, the music, played all the instruments, recorded the songs, self promoted and then took it all on the road for us to enjoy. It is a magical era never to be duplicated and I want to thank you for keeping it alive!

[@sylvialee1079]

No, sorry do not think Bob Dylan and Neil Young are at all alike. I would like to suggest you listen to After The Gold Rush and Harvest by Neil in their entirety to get a real handle on what this amazing artist is all about. Been listening to him since the late 60's and never tire of his music. Thank you ☺️ for including him on your channel!

[@lynette.]

That was beautiful.

[@KevinRCarr]

1972. 8th grade. Older brother left for Navy boot camp. I took the family stereo system from his bedroom and put it in mine, with the speakers on each side of my bed and pointed inward toward me. I grabbed a random album from his collection that turned out to be a live recording called Four Way Street, by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. I wasn't paying attention, and ended up playing side #3. The third song that I heard was Neil Young doing Cowgirl in the Sand. I seriously recommend finding that specific recording of that song, and listen to it.

[@colincampbell5967]

Saw Neil in the 80's at Wembley, superb concert, superb

[@clemlowes9417]

A Canadian legend. 🇨🇦👍

[@christinerobinson9372]

"The needle and the damage done". We only have to turn on a radio today to realize how lucky we were.

[@kendavis8046]

I've always loved singing, and was blessed with friends when I was young who played an instrument. Piano, guitar, and in an oddity, I was in a barbershop quarter, where no instruments were required except our voices. But by 16, I did a defensive move, because you can't always find someone who can play, bought a guitar and taught myself how to play "cowboy chords". And learned how to sing and play at the same time, even! It has worked for me, and I encourage anyone who has the urge, give in! Other than sore fingers for about a week, you will get better than you think you will, quicker than you thought you would. And a decent starter guitar runs about $100, so it's not even that expensive. Until you get into electric and demanding a tube amp, but that is another story, and not needed to begin.

[@brendaallen1250]

Perspective is everything!!!!!@

[@ChrisMaxfieldActs]

Explore the electric side of Neil Young, too. POWDERFINGER is an amazing song. Cortez the Killer is also very cool.

[@richardhornbostel3958]

Ronnie Hawkins said that even Neil’s parents didn’t love his voice. That was when he was starting out in Toronto

[@WireWeHere]

One of the best sounding summers memory with a strange mishap locked beside the music. Neil Young was on the radio when we took refuge in Dad's new Torino. We were trying to avoid several families of displaced and pissed off bees that an orchard's chauffeur accidentally dropped on the road right alongside our campsite. Many campers chose the suggested avoidance method called running away until your run runs out of run. A rare communal swim broke out and then the screaming just stopped and we were alone listening to Heart of Gold. Terry Jacks with Concrete Sea was next and America, A Hive With No Frame. My Dad added a Doris Day tune from memory...whatever will bee... Antihistamines for all.

[@darinswift490]

Oh he found his Love Peggy Young. They are two peas in a POD and they out on the Bridge school benefit concert every year at Shoreline. In Mt. View Ca. I have worked a Dozen of those shows and they both do have hearts of gold…

[@drieuxkoeppel8152]

He’s now a huge environmental activist. He’s married now to actress Darryl Hannah, and they are huge in environmental causes.

[@ChrisMaxfieldActs]

@RBR Or Madison, from SPLASH?

[@poodlegirl55]

Neil said CSNY will never play together again after David Crosby insulted his girlfriend at the time Darryl Hannah by calling her a predator. Considering that Neil was still married to his wife of 37 years you can kind of see where David was coming from.

[@stephenowens8763]

The harmonica holder was early invention of Les Paul who played harmonica on country radio show and he wanted to work guitar into the act

[@GibsonB4512]

FYI: Redwood & Main in Winnipeg, near where Neil grew up, is considered the most dangerous corner in Canada. Even to this day! Worked near there for 15 years.

[@steve55sogood16]

"Man needs a Maid" accompanied by the London synphony orchestra!

[@bschart]

I think that you would really appreciate Chris Smither. He's not known well enough to attract reviews but he is an amazing singer, songwriter as well as a virtuoso on the guitar. I think that you'd get a lot from him. Thank you for these reactions.

[@glenndespres5317]

Watching you is like watching myself when I was your age. We like Neil Young for all the same reasons. For me the first album was After The Goldrush. Check out that title track for starters if you want to hear Neil tell a tale and wonder about what the heck those lyrics mean. Magic.

[@matthewrobinson7379]

Neal made this record when I was your age. He's Canadian. He appears in the film "The Last Waltz," with The Band, and other guest artists. Great movie. Directed by a young Martin Scorscese. It's was the farewell concert by The Band. Neil sings "Helpless." You can also see Emmylou Harris, and The Staple Singers, a gospel group who join Levon Helm on "The Weight," a great song by The Band.

[@robertwilloughby8050]

Now that you're in the Neil Young vortex, you can do - "Cortez the Killer","Powderfinger","F&$king Up","Cinnamon Girl","Ambulance Blues","Down by the River" and "When You Dance, You Can Really Love".

[@armadillotoe]

Among other things, Neil is the Grandfather of grunge. Listen to some of his electric stuff. Rocking in the Free World!

[@johng.8517]

You gotta love the long hippie hair too. Great song.

The live version of Neil's "The Needle and the Damage Done" is very moving. And because you did "Meddle" on your Patreon, I upped my monthly contribution. Good taste should be rewarded.

[@DiconDissectionalReactions]

Thank you, it is much appreciated:) The Needle might be done after Harvest Moon.

[@rosmeeker1964]

@@DiconDissectionalReactions I've seen the needle and the damage done too. I'll get ready for a cry.

[@kirklandraab1999]

ds9 Neil released the studio version in 1970 I think, and I remember it received tons of radio play. So he would have been about 25. Not old at all but maybe he felt that way. Yeah I like Neil Young, he of sad, pained voice and acoustic guitar: a terrific combination. for good folk music. Daniel please check out his 1992 album "Harvest Moon" - every song is very good-excellent (folk music) and very well worth the listen. Enjoyed your reaction.

[@miketocci]

Thanks for these reactions, I've really been enjoying them. I'm 43 and I've been listening to Neil Young (and other singer-songwriters from the 60s and 70s) since I was in grade school. At lot of my peers considered it old music even then. They would give me a hard time for my musical tastes as they were listening to goofballs like Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli. That fact still makes me smile! Meanwhile I was learning all about Billy Joel and Harry Chapin and Cat Stevens and tons more. It's awesome to see younger people appreciating these great tunes. By the way there are tons more great Neil Young tracks. Just off the top of my head may I suggest Everybody Know This Is Nowhere and Cortez The Killer. Rock On!

[@brandonflorida1092]

I've noticed that typically, reactors react to songs that a hundred other reactors are doing at about the same time. There isn't much originality or thinking out there, so it's great to see someone reacting to songs that aren't simply copied from dozens of other reactors.

[@TheDivayenta]

This was 1972! Before Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young- Neil was composing crazy good songs for legendary band, Buffalo Springfield - Stephen Stills was in it, too. Check out “ Hello Mr Soul and Expecting to Fly! Their big hit, For What It’s Worth was penned by Stephen Stills.

[@AnthonyL0401]

Also by Neil Young... Please do the song "Harvest Moon" ... it was part of a beautiful scene in a recent movie thriller, was an amazing scene with an amazing song.

[@johnfoster5295]

I'd like to second the requests for Harvest Moon and Cowgirl In The Sand. Also, Down By The River. Cowgirl and River are longer tracks that really showcase his electric guitar skills.

Hi Daniel. Always loved Neil Young. He’s in my top 5 of all time musicians. Neil Young was the first concert I went to in 1970 ish. It’s great to see you react to him. His song catalog is enormous. Harvest Moon and Hurricane come to me right now. Your perception is awesome. I love your positivity and your awareness of others. Love Bob Dylan but Neil Young is more special to me.

[@imagine1004]

Ooops! Hurricane is Dylan but awesome!

[@robertwilson5058]

I so loved Neil's music when a little older than you Daniel. He was one of the ones who strongly inspired me not just in music but his out look on life. He had a gentle nature even though he was a Rock Giant in my circle. I think that's another one of the things that attracts me to your channel, you have such a cool yet gentle disposition. A couple fav.'s by Neil are " Words" and "A Man Needs a Maid".

[@richardw4336]

Love this song, great to see you react to it. I've always had a soft spot for Harvest Moon and i'll add my voice to others asking for you to react to that.

[@MissAstorDancer]

Daniel, YOU are just AWSOME!!!! You are such a joy to listen to! Damn, you are smart as all get-out, and so sensitive! Neil is another of my favorite artists! He is at least top 20, if not top 10. He has such a huge catalog!!!!! "Harvest" is a fantastic album, and just one out of so many!!! I can't wait to see you react to more by him! I love how you research! I do the same thing, looking up words I don't know, or going off on related tangents! Dylan is notorious for blocking. And I don't think "Heart of Gold" sounds anything like Dylan. They are sorta in the same genre, but each is totally unique to himself! I'm a much bigger fan of Neil than I have been of Dylan, although in the past few years, I have come to appreciate more of Dylan than just the "hits". I do, however, still have a vivid memory of being 12 years old, and being totally captivated by hearing "Like A Rolling Stone" for the first time on the radio! It was his first famous "electric" song. I was crazy about it! And that was over a year after I became hopelessly in love with The Beatles!!!! Anyway......... Looking forward to more Neil, and whatever you come up with next! ;)

[@ChicagoBeaver]

I was about to comment on how inquisitive Daniel is. That's exactly how I was. Those same tiny drumming patterns or violin like guitar in the background that he hears, that's how my mind was at such a young age. I kept it going and eventually owned 600 albums and play guitar too. Even if I didn't play guitar at all, I would still be a huge rock fanatic. Nuff about me, this kid is great, I'm telling ya, he's gonna go far.

[@MissAstorDancer]

@@ChicagoBeaver Yes, Sir! His curiosity and enthusiasm and sensitivity just make me want to adopt him!!!!
