YeahNo101 ? hey i wanted to share with you what Jesus Christ said, He said in matthew 11:28-30 “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” wow! and Jesus Christ loves YOU so much, i’m going to bring up these 3 scriptures john 3:16-21: “for God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.” romans 5:6-8: “you see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” and romans 10:9-13: “if you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.” For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile-the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on Him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” so God wants to redeem and restore you! He wants to give you true love and joy and peace not only on earth but in His eternal kingdom! but our sins have separated us from God, and the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is in those scriptures, His grace! so if you would turn away from your sins to follow God and put your faith and trust in Him and what He did for you He would gift you His grace which is eternal life in His kingdom where there will be no more death, or sorrow, or crying. there will be no more pain, for the former things have passed away. because He loves and cares for you so much! but if we deny and reject Him, He is just and holy and righteous and will have to deny and reject us of His kingdom. and there will be weeping and gnashing and fire when we’re separated from God, because in God is everything good but without Him is the opposite. there is also a channel here on youtube i appeal to you to watch it’s called “Christ forgiveness ministries” hear what they have to say! God bless you my friend accept Jesus Christ and He will give you true life here and in heaven and give it to you abundantly you His grace. amen 🙌

Neil is a big model-train collector, and my Dad used to run into him at train shows and ask if he bought anything good. Neil would open his bag and show my Dad his new engine and they'd chat about it like it was no big deal. Just a legend showing my Dad his trains.

The song took on a whole new meaning for me later in life.. As fate would have it, I ended up having to be his caretaker for the last 6 years of his life. I am glad I had a chance to get to know and spend time with him. Now I am the old man.

I listened to this song all the time. and when he got out of the military him and I worked together and became not just closed but best of friends. him and I and also his mother went to quite a few Neil Young concerts together. this always had a heavy effect on me a lot more than I did on him. he was a great kid a wonderful son and the greatest friend anyone could have. unfortunately I lost my boy to pancreatic cancer and life is not and never will be the same for me again.

Great Song from 1971!Thanks Neil!!! - I'm 52 and last week, for the first time in my life, was called an old man - by a stranger - that I got into a confrontation with. I wasn't too deeply insulted, for some reason- maybe because I don't see myself as old, or maybe since it was unexpected? Just don't feel my age - emotionally. Physically, I'm going downhill, but emotionally, I think I'm very much like I have been my adult life. - What has changed? Well, I'm wiser and better at fixing things, and don't have overly big dreams anymore. I've lost my hair in some places, and it's now growing in other places. I now value life more and avoid risky behavior - think motorcycles or speeding. And, the best thing about my age is that I have a 23 year old son - so that is awesome! Anyway, if you're reading this, I wish you well, and peace of mind.

Music like this touchs the soul and will humble you to your core. Thank you Neil for your music and everyone out there for your comments. It grounds me, love the live you were given, love your parents and honor them/ you dont get to choose them, love thy neighbour/ empathy for every person in the world, usually thier story is not to far off from yours or someone you know close to you. We are all connected. Lastly thank you Dad for taking on a half black kid that was not yours but is YOURS. You taught me how to be a MAN. Listening to these songs allowed me to see the beauty in you and the beauty in all music. Thank you God for the life I have been giving.

Many years ago I attended a Neil Young concert at the Jubilee Auditorium here in Edmonton Alberta Canada. It was a bitterly cold night, about -30 below. I remember he refused to play when he came out on stage until they turned up the house lights so he could see the audience. He told the stage hands in the wings that if he couldn't see the audience it might as well be an empty theatre with a sound system playing people clapping. Just Neil Young, a guitar or two, and a piano. It was not so much of a performance as a glimpse into who he was at that time. This was one of the songs he played that night. He claimed he had written on the plane on his way up from California. He explained that he had just gone through a messy divorce and moved out to his ranch that he had bought much as he does in this video. He admitted that at that point in his life he was at an emotional low and a hurting unit. He also told us that the song was about one night when he sat with his Foreman and they got drunk together. The Foreman didn't have much use for that long haired Hippy but as the alcohol took over their conversation turned to how life had worked out for each of them with it's lofty successes and it's heartbreaking lows and Neil realized that despite their differences in age and background, they weren't all that much different. Each had loved and lost and suffered for their loss. It was and is the best concert I have ever been to. He received over six standing ovations that night.........

As a kid I always used to tease my dad for listening to Neil Young (I thought it was old people music and we always had a laugh), found this song and 'Heart of Gold' when I was 20 and finally realised why he was listening all those years ago. Thanks Dad.
