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.

[@flexor212000]

So your favorite line to sign with your dad essentially means "I don't give a shit if I mean anything to you or not..."

[@kortotototoaoaoaoao]

@flexor212000 It means a son is young and has his own horizons to look to, his own legacy to create. but a father may have come to the conclusion that his greatest legacy is his children, not what he chased in his own youth. It shows that Neil Young understands this poignant reality that exists between relatively normal fathers and sons.

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.

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.

This song always gets me misty thinking of the wrongs I've done .... and the wrongs that were done to me. Those that gave this 10,567 thumbs down have no idea what's in store for them ...

I can happily say I stuck by his side like he did mine and held his hand in the last seconds. This song hit me like how you say it got you. So happy that there is a song that can touch that pain because at times my mind can not even connect to the pain due to subconsciously blocking it. This song tears that wall down. The pain ironically feels great to feel strangely enough to say as it is to hear from someone who has not experienced.

Happy 71st birthday Neil! 11/12/16. We used to see Neil around town and playing at the Catalyst when I lived in Santa Cruz in the late 70s. Broken Arrow Ranch is in the Santa Cruz mountains north of town. It's sweet.

[@timishere1925]

Lady BlackstarDust Does he still own it do you know?

[@ladyblackstardust390]

timishere1925 Broken Arrow Ranch? Yes. He lives there. Or was until his divorce. I Haven't heard how that was settled.

[@timishere1925]

Lady BlackstarDust That's great. I hope he still owns the ranch. Apparently he put out an autobiography a few years ago and was very open and honest about the fact that he did it because he needed the money. I don't know if this was happening during the time of his divorce but I'm almost certain alot of his money problems stemmed from the fact that he had that very serious sickness that required brain surgery, maybe even multiple surgeries. My whole point was that I was hoping he was able to keep the ranch if at all possible. On a side note, because he had put out his autobiography because of his money problems, I also specifically remember hearing that he was going to put out additional books, almost like an anthology series that gave much more information and that the wasn't rushed like the first one was. I never heard about the end result but perhaps someone else has and can speak about it.

[@ladyblackstardust390]

timishere1925 We don't have to worry about Neil, his net worth is a comfortable $65 million. I'm sure he's enjoying his 1500 acre ranch, his $3 milliion Malibu propert, his $25 million Hawaiian property and whatever other real estate he owns, his stellar guitar collection and his extensive vintage car collection, his vacations in Italy and musical touring. His divorce and his relationship with Daryl Hannah. He does good music and is involved in worthwhile causes. He's so musically prolific, I look forward to many more albums. Long may he play!

[@timishere1925]

[@MovieCommunityCollege]

I have become the old man, time moves us all to the end.

[@lillyslaughter38]

[@lisag18]

Me, too. Circle of life

[@1timcat]

I should get out and restring my 12. Most of the songs I used to know were Lenard Cohen and Neil Young.

We need to connect.....basically same here.....I’m in South Carolina

[@tjaritjekapepu9163]

If you can get just someone from namibia a place far down in africa who has never been to the US to like yours songs then you're a Legend in your own rights. Respects for Neil Young

[@cecilwells4046]

fantastic reminds of my grandfather, a very feligios man.

[@staaaah82]

Neil Young is Canadian

[@dtmjax5612]

That is a fact. However, he has lived and made his name in the United States for about the last 50 years or so.

[@MrMaenambeach]

He still has Canadian citizenship and visits and performs in Canada regularly. He's Canadian.

[@dtmjax5612]

MrMaenambeach Yep. I didn't say he wasn't. He visits and performs pretty much all over the world. But he lives in the USA.

[@debbierussell8562]

My son played this to his brother in the ICU. It was the most Gut Wrenching/Beautiful moment. Unfortunately, my son did not survive. R.I.P JIMMY.

[@Realneilyoungmusic]

I'm honored to have the kind of support you show me. How are you doing today?

[@spaceflight111]

There is a raw, stripped down beauty to Neil's songs I that love. His songs to me are emotional journeys and experiences.

[@bobwoods5017]

11 years old in 1971, now I am that old man. This song grabbed me then, even more now.

[@jeffbingaman2754]

How the 🤬 do you consider yourself old? 58 ain't old. You're old when you can't do anything anymore. 🏃Go do something.... 🗣️👤 you believe that guy saying he's old at 58. WTF

[@oldreliable40]

me too mr. bob woods!

[@Niccia4]

Jeff Bingaman maybe he does have problems. 58 isn’t old for you

[@peacelord]

The genius of Neil Young is to be able to see that much in a person at age 24 and put it so succinctly in such beautiful poetry.

[@vernonchampion]

18 in 1971-- I know what you mean

[@KittyGrizGriz]

I love the magical musical storytellers ~ they sure take us all along on their journeys,,,very deep,,,thought provoking 💫🫶

[@Realneilyoungmusic]

@Kitty I'm honored to have the kind of support you show me. How are you doing today?

[@VallaMusic]

even at such a young age you can hear how advanced his songwriting is - way beyond the typical rock or pop song - the harmonic shifts, the unique song form structure - then you add to that how incredibly unique and expressive a voice - neil is among the best of the best

[@cassiejacobs8788]

yes, if there was a benchmark for genius he would be it.

[@briankeller1849]

I feel honored to share the same birthday and some spiritual and aesthetic resemblance to this king who was once someone's little boy and was here singing this when I was a little boy...where were you that day? Life...love...prayers...peace to all

[@carrieberry8846]

Sugar Mountain, from what I've heard,was written when he was about 16. Incredible songs.

[@seen921]

Good point. He wrote Cortez the Killer while learning about Cortez in history class. Or so the story goes. Love that song.

[@FuzzySimon101]

right on

[@Padre8498]

He wrote this song when he was 23. F ing amazing

[@williameddy2826]

His father , Scott Young , was a famous writer in Canada . He may have inherited some language skills from him . Scott`s mother , Neil`s grandmother , was a singer even in her old age .

[@mariabowmer4757]

loved this song since I was 12 in 72. love Neil Young. I used to sing this song on my swingset. Now I"m 56. Still love the song and Neil Young. Music today I don't like much at all. I listen to seventies songs and classic country , since I"m from Tennessee.

[@elephantal]

Although I am not able to figure out the real meaning of this song, I still feel very much connected to it. I am 26, and single. I am afraid of losing my youth someday to old age. I have this fear as my constant companion. While I am still playing the field and trying to enjoy everything my age has to offer, I fear slowly progressing to a time and age where these things will all fade away someday. Any words of wisdom from someone who is 52 now? Thanks, Sincere Regards and Respect, Mayank, New Delhi, India.

[@timishere1925]

elephantal The only thing I can offer you is that your feelings and fear of growing older enter all of our minds at some point in our life. Luckily the aging process is very gradual, and with eating ,exercising, etc. you can slow it down even more. Lastly, try not to be to preoccupied with growing older because then you are missing out on the present time. Tomorrow is guaranteed to no one. Be grateful for every day. It may be your last regardless of your age.

[@elephantal]

Omg, your last line did hit me hard. Anyways, you are right. Making the most out of the present is what I should focus on. Just on November 14, 2016, my best friend lost his father aged 52 to a heart attack. It really did hit hard because he used to look only 45, and was physically fit. Goes on to prove that life can be so unpredictable. Sad though.

[@timishere1925]

elephantal Right on. Now, go live!

[@thomfing1]

You do not lose youth.....I am 53 and still feel young---youth is a state of mind---we age and gain wisdom and the trade off is quite fair---you will learn so much and continue to be curious---that is the key to staying young --always question and stay curious.

[@dangordon324]

Just discovered this song for the first time, and wouldn’t you know I’m 24… what a brilliant song. Terrific voice, and superb lyrics!
