Hi Neil. Love your art Brother.

[@WhispersOfRuins]

Thank you Mr. Neil Young for your contributions to make this world a better place, peace eternal.

[@jonathannadeau6218]

Neil I love your art. You’re the best. You’re political views are juvenile and stupid but your artistry is great. Keep it up.

[@BENJIR2D2]

My problem with Neil singing about war so much is, he never fought in one. Maybe he's a coward or maybe not, but he certainly has no business singing about something he doesn't understand, and because of his extreme lack of understanding, he lacks objectivity. I do love love love his music, but he's way out of line writing lyrics about things he has no experience with. And no, growing up in the 60's doesn't give you actual war experience. He dishonors all the brave who have sacrificed it all so he can step all over their memories to sell a few albums. Maybe he should write a song about that. I wish him well, just leave politics and war out of your music. He also use to blow up animals with fireworks, so this guy isn't a true environmentalist either.

Only Neil Young can play like this, truthfully and deeply felt. Beautiful song, beautiful combination of high notes and bass lines. Greetings from Slovakia.

Somehow he always manages to get to the very heart of the human condition. That's why his music is timeless.

[@bretfisher7286]

Yes, well said. He has a complete ease with doing that. It's natural. Even the irony in his lyrics- when they seem to make no sense, even- works. "Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain...".

Hard to face, but this is the core of our situ. If you are seeing this, you are the lucky ones.

[@olddavem]

Neil hit me right in the heart with this one - makes me cry every time. On the subject: I'm thankful to say that I was lucky in love. And, I was lucky in war.

[@anderseklann6817]

How can someone ever be "lucky in war"?

[@tiffanyhouchin6055]

Anders Eklann One is lucky to come home alive after offering their body and mind to the war machine that is oh so profitable for those who make money on the deaths of innocents. It’s sad that young, idealistic soldiers are told how noble it is to fight for their country, when many times poor people who have no good jobs in their cities and are surrounded by recruiters who offer them a living wage to possibly die fighting in various conflicts that we IMO have no reason to involve our nation in except for the profit of the war contractors who will always find new ways to bring our soldiers into harms way for their own benefit. Many young people don’t have a clue what they are getting into, or what their goal really is. Unfortunately, It’s unbelievable what some people must do to make it through the experience of fighting “for their country,” as they call it. The soldiers are victims of an overly violent society that will do anything for money at times. I appreciate their willingness to protect our nation if necessary in a completely different respect. We are filled with people that go into conflict with the best of intentions! They often come home with extreme guilt for surviving their war experience. We have never had so many vets committing suicide because they are too often forgotten after coming home. There’s plenty of money for war, but little money for disabled and mentally tortured veterans who need help but money is scarce for their needs. There shouldn’t have to be charities for veterans because their government does not do their job for them when they get home. It’s Lucky if a soldier makes it back home alive and relatively intact in body and mind after heading into a war zone. It’s sickening how many people are killed in the name of “freedom,” since nobody has actually invaded the United States for far more than a century. We have not declared a single war since World War II, so I guess you can say that they are lucky to survive the “Police Actions” they have participated in overseas. I’m sure It’s the happiest day of a soldier’s life to get back home to their loved ones while the “unlucky” arrive back home in flag draped caskets, or not at all. Too many soldiers arrive back home severely affected by Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome and feel guilty at their “luck” -coming home alive doesn’t always feel lucky, especially to know they survived when so many of their fellow soldiers are killed and will never come back to their families. It’s sickening to think that our society values the war business above all else, as witnessed by the largest single budget in the USA- our bloated, giant military budget. So many veterans get home and have serious health issues and aren’t getting the care and help they need while the fat cats laugh all the way to the bank. It’s disgusting to see how expendable we really are to the government, and how much money is going into the pockets of private corporations while they sit on their arses and collect the cash that the government has made available to people who unlike soldiers, will never fight a single day in their lives, and nor will their children ever offer their lives for these “wars.” President Eisenhower tried to warn the people about the infinite greed and influence of war profiteers, private parties who are in the business of making sure that our society will always have money for killing, and not for the necessities of civilization. It’s unbelievable how many different things we could spend the money used for war on- Healthcare for all for FREE, infrastructure improvement, and Education would be a great start instead of putting so much (borrowed) money away for overseas warfare in areas where we have established our presence and our soldiers. It’s unbelievable really, and if you are not American, I can imagine how you might wonder what exactly what it means to be “lucky in War.” Thanks for your service, Dave Miller. You are truly one of the lucky ones!

[@redwoodrebelgirl3010]

@@tiffanyhouchin6055 Very well said. I am the daughter of a soldier (Vietnam). I watched friends go off to watch (FIRST Gulf War). My son was born a few months before 9/11. He has grown up with the SECOND Gulf War raging his WHOLE LIFE! I worried about sending him off to war his whole life. I still do. I think the only thing worse than being sent off to war is sending your child, your heart off to war. I will be lucky in war, if my son never has to go to war. And, if I am blessed, some day, with a grandson, or granddaughter, I will be lucky if they are never shipped off to the living-dying-hell that is war. I pray that the day comes quickly that humanity evolves into ACTUAL HUMANITY, & gives up the devil's past time, the hell on Earth, the HORROR that is war.

Man, my grandfather fought two wars and wars never ended for him. Until he died 45 years later. There is no glory in wars for any normal human being, nothing to be proud of. Just pain and suffering, eternal nightmares. That is lesson learnt from a war hero, a man who threw away his medal of honors. Medals are worth nothing for a man who saw all his friends die in the front line. "Why did I have to survive and all my friends had to go?" He used to say.

When I sing about love and war I don't really know what I'm saying I've been in love and I've seen a lot of war Seen a lot of people praying They pray to Allah and they prey to the lord But mostly they pray about love and war Pray about love and war I've seen a lot of young men go to war And leave a lot of young brides waiting I've watched them try to explain it to their kids And seen a lot of them failing They tried to tell them and they tried to explain Why daddy won't ever come home again. Daddy won't ever come home again I said a lot of things that I can't take back But I don't really know if I want to There've been songs about love I sang songs about war Since the backstreets of Toronto I sang for justice and I hit a bad chord But I still try to sing about love and war Sing about love and war The saddest thing in the whole wide world Is to break the heart of your lover I made a mistake and I did it again And we struggled to recover Then I sang in anger, hit another bad chord But I still try to sing about love and war I've been in love and I've seen a lot of war Seen a lot of people praying They pray to Allah and they prey to the lord But mostly they pray about love and war Pray about love and war.

Hi Neil Young I must of listened to this song all day today then I cruised around a bit talked on the phone went to NYA. I couldn’t find “Love and War”. Went looking for it for 1/2 hr I just about gave up ok I said maybe I’ll find it tomorrow, and there it was a big picture of you and I think an only song. Now I’ll go listen to it again because after I heard “You can say the soul is gone And close another door Just make sure That’s yours is not the one” All I could do was cry check myself out in a mirror and get out of any thinking , get back into my heart and keep doing what I’m doing with NO this or that responses or thinking. When I’m clear with not thought I’m in my heart and doing at this time for me what I need to be doing. I love this melody, lyrics, The whole thing.

This song and album haunted and inspired me back in 2010 and it still does... Neil is as abstract and unique and full of wondrous feeling as a musician as David Lynch is as a creater of sound and visionary ethereal motion pictures... And that's a great Neil song too from his other beautifully haunting album "On the Beach" 🌊 🏖️" Motion pictures on my TV screen, a home away, I'm living in between... All those people they think they got it made, I wouldn't buy sell borrow or trade, ANYTHING I have to be like one of them, I'd rather start all over again..." Champion Neil's music has gotten me through some lonely times in my life and been like a non judgemental friend to comfort me... The year that this song and album was released my true love was going through some very difficult, painful times and now that I found her by sharing the truth of John Taylor Gatto (about how our system is set up to oppress creativity often times) I found like this album was linking us together through time and space to connect our Nordline love...
