Neil Young - Out on the Weekend (Official Audio)

[@shahrukhalimirza4470]

Heard this on an audio cassette back in 1997. I'm in Pakistan - you can't buy this stuff off the shelf. I had to order this album (the shop would have to send to another city to check if they had it) and then there would be an agonizing 10 day wait for the album to be recorded from vinyl to cassette in another city and be sent back! As a teenager the 10 day wait was like eternity. Of course when the album finally played - it was well worth it! Thank you Neil Young.

[@KPD017]

Love it! Who turned you on to Neil Young? My mom and dad did.

[@shahrukhalimirza4470]

@@KPD017 my dad introduced us to The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel and CSN but he hadn't heard much of NY. Neil would be on MTV a lot during the early 90's with Pearl Jam so I was aware but as a Pearl Jam fan I didn't pay much attention. But then a friend of my brother's introduced us to the 'On The Beach' album and that changed it all for me.

[@KPD017]

@@shahrukhalimirza4470 Well we had parents with good taste in music. I saw NY at The Bridge School Benefit in the late 80’s then live in SF 1995 when Eddie Vedder got sick and NY took over. I didn’t appreciate him until years later.

[@DougMcGonegle]

Woke up this morning at the break of Dawn and listened to this song. I cried because it took me back to the 70’s to memories of my brother Jeff who played this album over and over. Jeff’s gone now…but this song Transported me back with him. That’s the Essence of Good music…it’s Timeless …it Connects…it's Poignant. I Miss you Brother.

Neil Young’s music saw me through my youthful years. Just thought of him today and I can’t stop listening. I feel just like I did way back then when I’m listening. God, I love his music❤. I’ll be 70 in a few months 🎼💝🎼.

[@thomasventiquattroii7249]

I turned 68 last month, and Neil's masterpiece "Harvest" album saw me through my HS senior year and sent me off to college in August of '73. "Out On The Weekend" hit home for THIS lonely boy, that's for sure. "A Man Needs A Maid" is another underrated sparkling gem from this album. @@scrambler6281

Think I'll pack it in and buy a pick-up Take it down to L.A. Find a place to call my own and try to fix up. Start a brand new day. The woman I'm thinking of, she loved me all up But I'm so down today She's so fine, she's in my mind. I hear her callin'. See the lonely boy, out on the weekend Trying to make it pay. Can't relate to joy, he tries to speak and Can't begin to say. She got pictures on the wall, they make me look up From her big brass bed. Now I'm running down the road trying to stay up Somewhere in her head. The woman I'm thinking of, she loved me all up But I'm so down today She's so fine she's in my mind. I hear her callin'.

Turned 27 recently. Life never hit me like it did the past few years. Aging slightly, working everyday, some friends starting to have kids, some passing from overdoses, losing contact with so many. This song encompasses the pain in my soul. The girl I had when i was young and happy, will never see or have again. It’s a simple and potent pain. Neil makes it a little more bearable.

Freshman year, Kutztown State 1979. Making new friends and listening to this album. Cinder block dorm room walls with leaf shadows and a box fan running. Bong on makeshift table of milk crates. Takes me right there.

[@thomasventiquattroii7249]

Freshman year @ Syracuse U. in 1973, I remember the cinderblock dorms and the sounds of Neil's "Harvest" album blasting down the hallway between rooms. Inspired, I often grabbed my guitar and played and sang these tunes in the dorm stairwell (great echo for imitating Neil's voice). I was that "lonely boy out on the weekend."

[@benhill57]

I heard this after had been out a while, about ‘75 , when a girlfriend wanted me to listen because it reminded her of me … Fell in love with Neil , then, because it seemed he was singing my heart & life … For years and many albums, he was … I realized later in life that he was singing the blues, tho I didn’t think I cared for traditional blues… but realizing that helped me begin to appreciate, because so many loved the blues… I began to understand how feeling bad could make you feel good ! … 😐

[@mctavish23]

[@davesigmon8144]

A sublime opening cut to "Harvest" at finding your identity. It's so relatable that I end up singing to it time and again. Ben Keith's pedal steel guitar gives it that melancholy mood that I've identified with since I first heard it in the seventies.

[@R4002]

When I was younger (17-18 years old), my dad gave me a copy of “Harvest” and made a comment about it being “whiskey sipping music”. I did not fully understand that he was referring to the deeply painful, introspective and emotionally charged characteristics that make it such a great record, such a powerful piece. This was coming from a man who buys one bottle of whiskey a year, because that’s all he needs. Only now, with my 20s and early 30s in the rear view mirror and being a father myself can I see what my father was saying when he made that statement. Only now, after listening to it countless times, feeling the things Neil is expressing both in the lyrics and the music itself…do I understand. True art right here.
