First time hearing Neil Young "Heart Of Gold" Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@stephenkittle6586]

To me ,NEIL is the BEST SONGWRITER EVER✍️🎼🎵🎶😍😁🔥🎸

[@bobschenkel7921]

On Neil Young's Decade compilation album Neil writes comments on most of the songs. His comments on "Heart Of Gold" were funny. "This song put me firmly in the middle of the road,. I soon headed for a ditch, it's a rougher ride there but you meet more interesting people " Neil is an honest songwriter, and an amazing human being.

[@mikedowney5371]

Wow. Neil Young is really talented, coordinated. Can't imagine playing the the harmonica and singing all with the timing.

[@warrenpeterson6065]

Neil Young released Heart of Gold in 1972 and it immediately grabbed my sole. In those days I was 15 while today I'm 67. In between those years, I ventured on my own search traveling/working/living from Africa, to Asia, to Europe, to the Middle East, to North America and back again. I'm still confident my Heart of Gold is out there ... we just haven't crossed paths yet.

[@donniemoore2025]

I remember when this came out. Loved that it was about someone doing some serious introspection. And questing why he does some of the things he does. When he dies and what he camn do to change sone of that.

[@jonathanlocke6404]

I remember this seeming like something really new and different back then. Something new in rock music. We'd had The Beatles (both the moptop suits and the psychedelic Sgt. Pepper jackets), swashbuckling pirates like Hendrix, big loud powerful bands like The Who and Zeppelin and Sabbath. Here was a guy with just jeans, a flannel shirt, long hair, an acoustic guitar and a stool, and he was the coolest guy I'd ever seen! It was a moment...

[@markwilliams5606]

So much music from Neil Young! My Country Home Live 🤠🇺🇸🐎🇨🇦

[@ClifDickens]

A fantastic reaction from two hearts of gold 💛 💛

[@dagmar.6954]

Neil is a very talented musician, singer & songwriter. He was with the groups Buffalo Springfield & Crosby, Stills & Nash in the later 60's. Also had his own group with Crazy Horse for a few years. Neil went solo & has had so many great songs over the years. The albums "After The Gold Rush" & "Harvest" from the 70's are considered 2 of his best.

[@klintburns7230]

[@dagmar.6954]

[@stpnwlf9]

Neil is primarily a solo performer and even in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist. He has used other backup groups over the years. Crazy Horse is the main one and they are kind of his primary rock backup group. The Stray Gators were more of a country ensemble that backed him up at times. Lately, he has also used Lucas Nelson & The Promise of the Real as a backup band. Neil is nothing if not eclectic.

Give the song Helpless a listen to it is pure gold he has such a vast library of songs

[@charlesmclaughlin3578]

Especially from The Last Waltz!

[@ericwhollem]

From Michelle: Your first time...WOW! Personally, I couldn't have survived this long without him! Enjoy!! And Thanks for the honesty!

[@zoegartham312]

This song is great, really makes you think. Also consider too that "fool's gold" exists as well. That adds a whole other level of depth and meaning to this song.

[@mikecaetano]

"Heart of Gold" was a number one hit single for Neil Young in 1972. It was all over the radio back then. Linda Rondstadt sings the backing vocals on the studio recording. "Sugar Mountain" was the b-side. Classics both. "Helpless", "Old Man", "After the Gold Rush", "Don't Let it Bring You Down", "Tell Me Why", "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" -- classics all. But you're missing half the picture he paints without the rockers -- "Cinnamon Girl", "Cowgirl In the Sand", "Down By The River", "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere", "Southern Man", "Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black)", "Rockin' In The Free World" -- a lot of fire there. And for something different, check out "Cortez The Killer" from disk two of Neil Young's live album "Weld" released in 1991.

[@debjorgo]

This was a number one song back in '72. The studio version has a lot more energy, but this live version is good to hear too.

[@bartstarr100]

With James Taylor on banjo and Linda Ronstadt on backing vocals.

[@srt8rocketship241]

Keep your chins up , it's gonna get better. Keep on an even keel and concentrate on the good. I have faith in you two and most folks also. We are a majority that want that heart of gold. Great channel.

[@k7posse]

Asia you made a world of sense when you said good people aren't good to everyone because they have to guard their "heart of gold" from people, places and/or things that have tarnished that gold heart in the past. 💯

[@brentgeller3489]

Your commentary on this song was exactly on point! Well said

[@lextek.]

"And I'm gettin'' old" Nah Neil, you're right in your stride now! Man, you were born in 1945 and these BBC TV recordings were made in 1971 so you were only 26 then! You're 76 now and still as relevant and strong as ever, one of the absolute best!

[@lilpoohbear653]

one of the best live-organic-humble performances of a one of a kind song. CLASSIC!!! Super talent

[@lilpoohbear653]

His song "Old Man" is even more hard hitting message

[@barrycohen311]

Neil Young on acoustic, will always deliver the vibes and get you into the Zone. Relaxing and sublime. Of course, he can also rock out when he goes electric. One of the greats for sure.

[@bkinouye]

Thank you, Neil Young, for your music and for taking an important stand against misinformation.

[@terryr9052]

"I love old worms who want to censor info I dont like"

[@joshuabalko4578]

He is the Y in CSNY (Crosby Stills Nash and Young) played at Woodstock 1969. His solo career is actually very controversial, he speaks out against the South, poverty and human injustice

[@campnou69]

Funny how that whole "Freedom of Speech tour" is now biting him in the ass with his pro-censorship on Joe Rogan

[@timweber1695]

[@RTSOB1]

It's a measure of the times when speaking out against poverty and human injustice is considered controversial.

[@Johonnac]

@@campnou69 Sorry, but “freedom of speech” doesn’t preclude Joe from the repercussions of what he says, e.g. literal misinformation/medical “advice” that leads to people getting sick and/or dying

[@alligatorshade8110]

Beautiful song. I have looked all over for a woman with a heart of gold, still looking but I’ll find it one day. So well said by the young lady, it’s hard to find someone who is going to have a heart of golf for you.

Very timely indeed. Perfect. We have to make our own heart golden, or any golden heart we may find might not recognize us. Y'all seem to have hearts of gold. Loved this. Always did. Great reaction. Love Neil. Love y'all.

You’re right Asia. A lot of people are only good to ppl they want to be good to. Sadly, I am less happy with the world the older I get. Here’s to Neil Young, a fellow Canadian. 🇨🇦

I 💜 Neil Young so much. I spent 3 months listening to his Silver & Gold album on repeat... was very healing for me. Gotta check out his electric sound too. One of my faves is *Rockin' In The Free World.* You'll see why he's known as The Godfather of Grunge.

[@debbiechang5781]

Such an incredibly talented man. Neil Young transports me to another place. That beautiful acoustic guitar with that lovely voice just does it. The harmonica is a bonus. 🌺✌️

Heart of gold is a term miners use for striking it rich with a large gold nugget .. which he was referring to .. but I suppose it’s how the song song speaks to you

Only light can dispel the dark and only love can dispel hate 👍🙏🌈 Neil is a beautiful soul as well as a gifted songwriter and musician. His anti-racism song, "Southern Man" is a classic. He appeared on Jimmy Fallon's show 3 weeks after having brain surgery a short while back. Amazing 😍

[@ewetoobblowzdogg8410]

I came here solely to support you two with a thumbs up, but paused it because I refuse to listen to another Neil Young song EVER again. He just announced that he will pull all his music from Spotify if they don't dump Joe Rogan from their platform. We must all stand together and let those who would endorse censorship that it will NOT be tolerated! You two are truly awesome and I will continue to watch, but not this one. Sorry
