Thanks Polo. If you want to hear Neil kick it up a notch try Rocking in the free world, which he plays with the guys from Pearl Jam, or Hey Hey My My, by him with Crazy Horse.

[@johncampbell756]

Neil Young has a very challenging catalog. Some country and folk. Some blues. Some rockabilly. Some hard rock. Some extremely loud hard rock. Some electronic music which is extremely odd to watch live. And he jumps back and forth between styles without warning. Example, the release before this was a live set called Weld and a separate live disc called Arc created out of feedback. So each of the following are, in my mind, fantastic, but very, very different. The Loner Down by the River Country Girl (Crosby Stills Nash & Young, but he just had them add vocals to the completed track) Tonight's the Night Like a Hurricane Lotta Love Hey Hey My My (Into the Black) (Watch the "Live Rust version to see his stage show as the original version was recorded live anyway. Warning: It's possibly his loudest song) From Hank to Hendrix (from Unplugged) Bonus: I Got ID by Pearl Jam with Neil on guitar, recorded while Pearl Jam was his backing band on Mirror Ball.

[@spacecowboy6099]

Dont know any other way to contact you. Try checking out the band Rush. Pick any song off their "moving Pictures" album. They are a canadian rock band.

[@johncampbell756]

@spacecowboy6099 He's done at least four. Search polo Reacts rush. Red Barchetta, The Trees, Subdivisions and The Necromancer.

[@spineynorman7378]

Neal Young has been on my radar since the early 70’s. Some of the best concerts were him alone and playing an acoustic guitar. The tracks you have reviewed are among my favorites. You might want to look into After The Gold Rush. Thanks for all the great reviews you have done.

[@elfcounsul]

I lost my dear wife died last Nov. this was one song that put voice to my love for her. We danced to this song. This song makes me cry, an I need to cry.

[@elmalo551]

My condolences. Cherish those memories. This is one of the few songs that makes me cry as well. God bless.

[@vplaugher1953]

Same here. Sorry, for your loss.

[@mrkaplin8870]

I never had that kind of love...count your blessings and love your wonderful memories ❤

[@scottwocher9812]

I lost my wife to cancer also and I feel the same way about this song. It makes me cry but brings back happy memories.

[@joyceharkin3641]

So sorry for your loss - it's not easy is it? Cherish those happy memories. 💔

[@ptaylor4757]

One of the most romantic songs ever written.

[@christopherbova8109]

Any time my late wife and I herd this we always got up and immediately started to slow dance ❤RIP Cecilia

[@davidmccool5564]

Sorry about your loss

[@sandracroley9784]

Yes, perfect slow-dancing in the living room song ❤

[@christinevr7698]

That is a beautiful memory. Thanks for sharing it.

[@rustbeltwriter]

Thank you for sharing that with us. I hope your memories bring you joy.

[@lisabracewell9668]

One of my oldest friends died last year. He was an artist who lived in a magical place off grid in the forest. When the harvest moon came out, he woke his partner and took her to dance to this in the field next to where they lived. They danced under the harvest moon. This song was played at his funeral in the beautiful field where he lived. and she recounted the story and swayed to the music with love and memories. it was one of the most tender moments I have experenced... and it was a full harvest moon that night ... I love this song ...and harvest moons are my favourtie.. Thank you for sharing x

[@CitizenScorn]

That's beautiful. Thank YOU for sharing 😊

[@SueHolmgren-rp7jj]

This song was my husband's favorite. He said it was for me. He died 15 yrs ago . We would have been married 42 yrs in January ❤❤ miss you babe.

[@nicholassullivan1239]

🥲😭😭🥲😊

[@elfcounsul]

I am the sole survivor of my circle of friends. Now that my wife passed, I have few people to share with.

[@elfcounsul]

@@SueHolmgren-rp7jj I miss hugging her. She gave great hugs.u

[@ThePittsburghToddy]

Linda Ronstadt on backup vocals! This whole album is great!🖖🏼

[@Kim-hc5si]

It really is 👏👏👏❤️

[@davebrau]

now see, i did not know that. i've been listening to this song for 40 years. today learned a new thing.

[@kevinmalone2218]

Not sure but I think James Taylor on background vocals.

[@ThePittsburghToddy]

@@kevinmalone2218 JT was definitely on this album. Nicolette Larson as well.

[@johncampbell756]

​@ThePittsburghToddy James and Nicolette were on the album, but Linda is the only guest vocalist here.

[@kjsfl386]

Neil Young. “Heart of Gold”

[@joyceharkin3641]

I would hate to think people didn't slow dance any more to beautiful tunes like this. Part of the art of courtship. This is a beautiful song and Harvest was the first album I ever bought - still play it, still love it. So happy that you youngsters are still appreciating the music we grew up on. Lovely reaction.

[@Lonewolf-i8p]

Neil Young is so talented! His mesmerizing voice, plays awesome guitar and harmonica at the same time in addition to singing. Raw talent, no echo chambers, auto tune, totally live. ❤

[@damientinkler12]

Probably the prettiest song I've ever heard

[@sarahakin3657]

Yes. people still slow dance. A lost art. They dance in the video. Makes me want to grab someone & dance. Love this. ty. 😊

[@Kim-hc5si]

This is a beautiful record. The entire thing, every song, is perfection. ❤

[@garyporterfield7165]

Us Old Timers are still slow dancing with our ladies, and sometimes on the patio underneath a bright Harvest Moon❤

[@joyceharkin3641]

Glad to hear it!

[@ruthfejfar7836]

I love this man. Another creative writer as well as a composer. Everything about Neil is unique. Always testing boundaries. Never disappoints. He knows what He likes. Beautiful song here.

[@pattyfreeburn3743]

I love Neil Young as well, Southern Man is a good song too check that one out Polo. Oh, and check out Ohio.

[@sandrabornhauser7057]

Slow dance the best body communication two can have without muttering a word during the song. Love slow dancing with the love of my life anywhere, anytime. Thanks, Neil, for the slow dance😊

[@bluebird1239]

Neil Young fan here. In the music video that Neil did, this song is done by Neil with a band in what looks like a small rural bar and the people are slow dancing to the song. The music video tells a story. One of the parts I like best is a guy using a straw broom to sweep up the floor in time with the music, in my imagination it is the drummer, matching the sound of the brushes used on the snare drum in the band. Thanks for your reaction to your personal choice. It's great to see you discovering music that has stood the test of time. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGOwpXipp8iHitU

[@jimwilcox2964]

With his then wife Pegi dancing with a person playing a younger Neil and in a scene i think a waitress at the bar. And i believe the other backup singer with Linda

[@noother964]

@@jimwilcox2964 Pegi was a waitress when she first met Neil. So it's them as a young couple and as an older one, still slow dancing together on this harvest moon.

[@davidmccool5564]

Neil uses an actual broom that brushes along a pad to create that sound. He used it when I saw him live.

[@CitizenScorn]

Shout out to Dale Crover from the Melvins playing a young Neil on the dance floor 🤘 Neil forever and always. So beautiful 💙

[@blairmanning4974]

You answered his question of slow dancing to this song!!!

[@skygazer858]

The official video for this song is fantastic too.

[@edgarsnake2857]

There's a lot more Neil that is A+ material...a lot more. I love your thoughtful and articulate reactions. You've got a way with words.

[@mrnosaj71]

Neil takes you with him as he tells wonderful but fragile stories. Things we all relate to, he's a poet.

[@mindseye420]

I wish you would listen to Neil Young like a hurricane I'd love to see your reaction

[@96tears600]

So glad I grew up in the 70’s. Neil is the best!! This is such a pure song

[@anitaphelps8715]

I love Neil Young. One of my favorite songs is After the Gold Rush

[@vixter28]

My favorite song by him ❤❤❤❤❤ Another one Heart of Gold Cinnamon Girl

[@fractaljack210]

Sugar Mountain is a must listen.

[@joniarmel7308]

High school …Neil Young . This man has an old soul . One of the greatest of our generation. This song in particular will wrap itself around your heart and soul.

[@markferrett700]

Perhaps the greatest love song ever written. Watch the video to this song...people are slow dancing@!😊

[@kentclark6420]

You should check out more of the tunes he did with Crosby, Stills, and Nash. 'Carry On' is a good start.

[@elfcounsul]

My dear wife and I used to dance to this music. I miss her dearly, and this song tears to my eyes

[@jeremymarsh2174]

Glad you like Neil. He's got a voice people either love or hate, but if you love his voice, he has a crazy deep catalog to check out. Next I would recommend Cowgirl in the Sand or Helpless

[@amberandrews6842]

Cowgirl in the sand!!!! Cinnamon girl!! ❤❤❤

[@Ruth-en1yv]

Neil Young "Hurricane"! You'll Love it!!!

[@italoblu]

“It’s full of treats” is about the nicest thing a music reaction can include. Love your vibe.

[@kimberlybain9143]

This is on my "Drinking Whiskey on the Front Porch in the Fall" playlist.

[@CBB672]

The music video to this song is the best ever

[@barbaranash3639]

Goose bumps every time I hear this song. Neil is a genius.

[@viciann]

I love listening to Neil Young at the beach around a fire. It's the best and I do dance with my husband when it comes on.

[@Tim_York]

Polo, man this takes me back. My good friend Jeff introduced me to Neil in college. He was such a big fan. Believe it or not he even did an electronica album Trans in the 80’s, kind of an homage to Kraftwerk. And he did great work with Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Hard to believe how he could transition from a soft love song to driving electric rock. Thanks for the listen. 🖖🏼

[@charleneoconnor2764]

I cry every time I hear this track. The lyrics are so beautiful, and he has the voice of an angel here. Just touches a strong emotion, and that's what Neil does best. Enjoy ❤️

[@Peggi109]

Try to watch the video of Neil Young and his wife dancing together at the Harvest Moon dance. I love that one so much.

[@RGRG3232]

You need to hear Buffalo Springfield, the band Neil Young was in before going solo. "Expecting To Fly" is a real good song to start with.

[@tamitatangoto5134]

Always loved Neil Young. I WAS married to a man who could sing like Neil Young 😮 WHENEVER I HEAR ONE OF NEIL'S SONGS I ALWAYS THINK OF LANCE.😢😏😔

[@yvonnemarshall7416]

Just Beautiful and Great memories for me and my Husband we had sail Boat called Harvest Moon 😊😊❤❤ Thank you from Yvonne mullion Cornwall England

[@danielconley7042]

Watch the official music video. Very charming. This may be the most beautiful song ever written.

[@Felicia-ge7sp]

He plays the guitar & harmonica & sang this song.

[@nicholasthomas3635]

'Cortez the Killer' & 'Like a Hurricane' are 2 to listen to.

[@alanh7247]

cowgirl in the sand... another great crazy horse track...

[@melwilliams1025]

Polo, convinced you are an old soul! Love all this, keep it up!

[@DebR69]

I absolutely love this song.

[@chriswheeler151]

Neil is REAL in every way. give his electric side a listen : "Rockin' in a Free World" "Like a Hurricane" "Cinnamon Girl" "Southern Man"

[@KarlGutowski]

Neil is not real. He never existed.

[@karleneblaser1261]

​@KarlGutowski Whereever that mindset comes from, please...No one should ever go there! Neil is one of the many musical geniuses of my generation.

[@mjmmjm5370]

I am NOT a Neil Young fan...but always loved this particular tune!

[@AFL67pitt]

Not a huge Niel Young fan but this is one of my top 20 all time favorite songs. Just old timey snd beautiful

[@christinamoreno1781]

Can't go wrong with Neil Young just a gem of a song!he does take you along on this journey .so good to hear his voice and music.magic

[@michaelbyrd103]

Maybe the greatest love song ever written. So many first dances at weddings etc..

[@kathyh7458]

Heart of Gold is the most iconic song from the Harvest Moon album, in my opinion. It's the song everyone immediately recognizes as Neil Young. Beautiful.

[@mattshelton9771]

Heart of Gold, though, is on Neil’s Harvest album, not his Harvest Moon album. Harvest was released in 1972; Harvest Moon was released in 1993.

[@TheEquinist]

Polo! I'm in my 70's and I've been very close to music all my life and privileged to have known and sat in on quite a few Music Legends. All that is to say that the thread begining with Buffalo Springfield and the Young Bloods right through to watching you react to Harvest Moon today --- This is my all time favorite song. If you follow that thread you will discover some of the best damn music ever. (Wikipedia rocks). My only other suggestion is that just for fun, you look up "best makeout songs" of the 60's, 70's, and 80's, etc. Good things will undoubtedly turn up there. ~~~ Methuselah

[@ep5005]

I’m not a big Neil Young fan, but I always loved this song by him.

[@mrnobody3161]

Hello from Canada 🍁. I have 78 albums in my itunes with Neil Young on them. If you keep digging into his musical archive, you might find some surprises 🎉🕊🎶❄️...❄️.....🫴

[@miccilamb6735]

My husband and I still dance slow on our hardwood floor❤️

[@yoursoulknows6444]

You just have to react to some of Neil's rock songs - like Southern Man, Rocking in the Free World, My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue), Cowgirl in the Sand... he's seriously amazing... and Heart of Gold - beautiful tune.

[@shadralewis5433]

Neil’s video for this song has slow dancing. Sweetly romantic.

[@dcg4mn]

You’re right this entirely transports the listener, suddenly in the countryside on a beautiful evening there’s a honkytonk or barn dance somewhere 😁 His love songs are realistic, simple, and sooo beautiful - like his voice.

[@karleneblaser1261]

Listen to ALL Neil Young. And Listen to all Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young...and all Crosby, Stills, & Nash.

[@ecnoto]

After doing 3 slow acoustic Neil tracks I think it’s time now for you to do some Neil grunge- a totally different kind of Neil, but still so amazing!

[@karenbartlett7040]

Big Neil Young fan. "Helpless " is one of my favorites 🇨🇦

[@amberandrews6842]

My hubby and I dance to this. During the summer outside under the moon, and stars. Thank you for playing this one.💖💖💖💖

[@katherinebosse5706]

Neil was supposed to perform on an awards show of some kind.. I think the Junos’, but was very sick, so at the last moment, KD Lang came on, dedicated his song “Helpless” to him and wished him well, then proceeded to blow the roof off. You should really give it a listen, it’s beautiful. Love all his music ❤

[@BOOMNERD51]

My brother-in-law a d sister-in-law danced to this at their wedding! ❤❤ I love your reaction, as always!

[@CBB672]

Love Neil Young, 70’s to now

[@ruthannwatkins3914]

As a fellow Canadian all I can say is we LOVE him , a national treasure for sure . I saw him live in Toronto and man he was awesome . Pure talent .

[@gkiferonhs]

There are a couple of very good videos of him in concert where it is just him, his guitar and his harmonica so you can see his superlative musicianship. Heart of Gold and Old Man done at the Harvest 50th Anniversary concert.

[@jacqueline4514]

This song is in my heart forever; I think it is Neil Young’s most beautiful song. It’s on my funeral list. That broom sweep sound throughout? This was his 90’s work. Wonderful. As others have said, this entire album is great. For Neil’s hardest rocking music, please react to “Cinnamon Girl” and “Down By The River” 🔥

[@MikeB-in1nd]

Thanks Polo love that you are discovering new great music

[@CarltonYoung]

One of my favorite songwriters, Neil is a very underrated romantic songwriter. This and ‘Lotta Love’ are excellent.

[@kayodeolowomeye6688]

And Nowadays Clancy Cant even sing no more ,makes him my #1 Musician.

[@kat2270]

Oh! Isn't it just lovely? Slow danced to this last weekend while celebrating my birthday. The Brothers Comatose do a sweet version too - well worth a listen.

[@victoriakrasowski5564]

It's easy, beautiful and makes you want to slow dance with the one you love. And at the same time, complex and unique.

[@sandramurdock6453]

I love this two-step song. Have always Loved, loved, Neil Young! Of course, I grew up dancing, but it's not hard.

I think you'd really enjoy another Canadian band, The Guess Who. So many great tunes but please check out These Eyes.

[@douglasg.9271]

Neil Young has written a ton of great songs, but this one is perhaps, his most beautiful, and sentimental.

[@cnuttall4193]

You did an excellent job showing your appreciation of his musicianship. I think this is one of those songs that will live for a long time

[@CBB672]

Saw him in concert, about 15 years ago, just him, his guitar, harmonica, organ, no other back up players, long concert too! Amazing artist

[@vplaugher1953]

This song means so much to me. I lost my husband nearly 7 years ago but I remember us dancing to this song. Just in our house,not necessarily at a club. This song always makes me think of the man who was my best friend. ❤❤❤

[@kayodeolowomeye6688]

I am a huge Neil Young's fan, been listening to him for years . I remember hearing this in a David Swimmer's Movie and was blown away Straight the moment it came on . Just saw him play San Diego 2 days ago. Incredible .

[@ptaylor4757]

This was played at my brother’s wedding on the California north coast in the redwoods. It was October ‘98 and there really was a full moon. I get goosebumps every time I hear it.

[@elfcounsul]

My wife and I danced to this. Though she’s passed over, we still dance to this.

[@colleentrygg7376]

Such a sweet melancholy song ❤️ think about my husband who passed away shortly after we were married. Played this song right after we said our vows .

[@JaneBrown-j9v]

So mellow that’s Neil ❤

[@NonsensicalReality]

Yeah, when you said he lets the song breathe I think that's probably why I find it so beautiful and calming. It kinda feels like a cure to all your troubles when you're blissing out to it.

[@mariafentis]

Long time Neil Young Fan....his sound was always his own, raw , bitter, and always real The Harvest song is sweet and so melodic!! T y Polo Enjoy the journey , been a fan since CSNY lol

When your in that slow dancin' and romancin' mood, this song is great.

[@eclecticNhectic]

Yea. I'd put this up they're with The Manhattans' Shining Star as most romantic slow dances.

[@DanielCollins85]

Niel Young - Cortez The Killer Such a listen. Seriously.

[@alanhannah5113]

One of our legends from Canada

[@Ducatirati]

On Live at the Ryman Theatre with Emmyloo Harris is supreme , .the DVD is called HEART OF GOLD My favourite is The Old Laughing Lady , on that album he does it in the Ryman Empty , then they closed it , that is a beautiful song , but that particular rendition is primo Luv on - Yaz

[@Ducatirati]

The DVD HEART OF GOLD , is the Album Prarie Wind , but it has HEART of gold , This old guitar, the Needle and the Damage , Harvest moon , Four strong winds , HEART of Gold , Last track to an empty hall the Old Laughing Lady , wow , these are good songs , but I'm over HEART of gold RARARA

[@sahbian]

Linda Ronstadt does backing vocals on this song. beautiful singer and voice. she had hits in the 70's and 80's of pop, rock, and even went to her roots w a beautiful mariachi album. there is also the concert/doc "Heart of Gold" w Neil and his band performing this album and EmmyLou Harris is doing backing vocals on that. she is another great singer in the same Neil Young wheelhouse.

[@MH-pw3vy]

oh, this is one of my all time favorite songs. It's simply beautiful on so many levels.

[@teresabaker9610]

Canadian! Big fan here. After an amazing concert of his, the song Powderfinger stayed in my head for days.
