What the heck...why should I go forever without starting a thread of my own?

Name your favourite first four lines of a Neil Young song! Here goes...

Once I thought I saw you in a crowded hazy bar,
Dancing in the light from star to star.
Far across the moonbeam I know that's who you are,
I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire.

Isn't that just Like a Hurricane?

There is a town in north Ontario,
With dream comfort memory to spare,
And in my mind I still need a place to go,
All my changes were there.

Lyrics from 'Helpless'. Great idea for a thread Ann! I love Neil Young!

"I'm just a soul whose intentions are good...
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood."

When you were young and on your own,
How did it feel to be alone?
I was always thinking of games that I was playing,
Trying to make the best of my time.

From Only Love Can Break Your Heart

Very hard to pick just one song! Gotta love Neil Young

Don't waste the time, the time that isn't lost (Jim Cuddy)

Well since Diane stole mine I'll go with this one from *Birds*:

Lover there will be another one
Who'll hover over you beneath the sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come today
When you see me fly away without you

What can I say? The man is brilliant.

I have so much Neil Young vinyl, I could redo someone's kitchen floor. Thank-you for helping me re-live/revisit other favourites. Keep them coming.

You probably won't believe me Jane, but I had the hardest time choosing between Only Love Can Break Your Heart and Birds!!

Don't waste the time, the time that isn't lost (Jim Cuddy)

Well only love can break your heart
Try to make sure from right the start
But only love can break your heart

da da da da da

live from Moon and Tree House

The man is brilliant!

I wanna live with the Cinnamon Girl
I could be happy the rest of my life with the cinnamom girl

Searching for a heart of gold

This is Heart Like Mine speaking through the Pinot Noir ....

Lucky Me.

That's just too freaky Diane, we must be on the same cosmic wavelength or something!!

I've never had the pleasure of seeing Neil in concert so Char and Larry have a great time for me too - K!!

Hey! Why leave it out?

When you were young and on your own,
How did it feel to be alone?
I was only thinking of games that I was playing,
Trying to make the best of my time.

Had such a wonderful time at Live 8. Will Neil Young return to Canada and take his rightful place as prime minister of our fair country?

Oh to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the coloured balloons,
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon,
You're leaving there too soon.

I heard this one on the radio today ... man I love this song ... seeing him at Live 8 was incredible but I wanted to hear so much more!

"Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life."

We were hiding behind haybales
We were planting in the new moon
We were giving all we had for something new
But the light of day was on us,
We could see the thrashers coming

Thrasher - From "Rust Never Sleeps"

Love is a rose but you better not pick it
Only grows when its on the vine
Handful of thorns and you know you've missed it
Say the word love and you say the word mine

GOD BLESS NEIL!!

"When the dream came
I held my breath with my eyes closed
I went insane
Like a smoke-ring fades when the wind blows
now I won"t be back till later on
if I do come back at all
but you know me
and I miss you now.."
MBT
JUST THOUGHT OF ANOTHER ONE!!

"you take my hand, I"ll take your hand..
together, we may get away
this much maddness is too much sorrow
it"s impossible to make it today"

ANNE: you know, this could go on forever..don"t you??(at least in MY case!!!)

FORGOT MY FAVOURITE!!

"I always expected..
that you would see me through..
I never beleived in much..
But I beleived in you..

Don"t get me started, I could go on for hours about NEIL!!!
