Man John Cougar Melloncamp looks rough.Neil Young is one of my favorite musicians and writers. I have been playing harmonica for 35 yrs and love Neil's harp style. I play mostly blues myself but love this style of harp.
For all of the Neil Young fans…do people like ALL of his songs or are there songs that they don’t enjoy as much as others? I’ve listened to every Neil Young song, and there are a few that are pretty decent. But even all of the songs that are decent I have heard other music artists execute the same ideas and same elements better than Neil. I just want have an open conversation without offending anyone’s feelings. I just can’t imagine so many people loving Neil Young THIS MUCH.
COMES A TIME when you stop thinking about music in terms of what’s better, who’s better this, who’s better that. Music either resonates with you or it doesn’t. Who are we to judge what is good, “decent” or bad music? Are our standards superior to others? We’ve all lived different lives, we’ve all gone through different things. Some music resonates with us because we feel a connection. Our circumstances change and our stages in life also have a say in what resonates with us. To some of us, music is more than just a hobby. Sometimes music helps us carry through. Isn’t that what really matters? When it’s all said and done, what do Grammys and recognition really matter? If a song can save a life, that’s worth more. As far as Neil Young’s catalogue, it just resonates with some of us. The song in this video says, “Comes a time when you’re drifting, comes a time when you settle down”… this entire year I’ve been a “drifter” wondering and roaming, but I know there’ll come a time when I could “settle down” and finally have peace of mind. Asking people why they like Neil Young is like asking someone why they are in love with someone else. We feel a connection to music just like we do with other people. If Neil Young songs don’t resonate with you, that’s okay. It might be hard to imagine, but yes, some of us like his music THAT MUCH.
@@Rando-ur8lr That was well said. Excellent point. “If a song can save a life,” then why does it matter whether one is better than another? Music IS more than just a hobby for me, and I’ve worked with several musicians who love Neil Young, but absolutely REFUSE to play songs from other artists. Like I said, there are some Neil Young songs that are pretty good. Comes a Time is one of them. But usually when it came to building a set list, it was pretty difficult to convince the other person do play some different songs because Neil Young was all what they wanted to do. Which isn’t bad, but there are other artists out there than just Neil, and they DO tell a story, and they DO have the same chord structures, and they ARE just as exciting and just as impactful as his songs. So I get it. The only way for my friend to be able to get through difficult years is listening to Neil Young, and I would NEVER shame that. With all that said, there are plenty of songs, from other artists I love, that I am not really impressed by. So Neil Young is not the only artist I’m critiquing. A lot of breakup songs for instance, I personally think are a disservice to listeners. Because in some sense they are. They keep the listener dwelling in the past. Where is the growth in that? Where is the hope? And where is the hope in case another disappointment arrives? If some artists were really concerned for their listeners, I think they would find a way to increase their capacity to deal with disappointment and impulsively make the decision to move on. That to me seems like more of a service than keeping their listeners “stuck” in their past. I DO think there is a way to judge whether music is good or bad. I think if morality and the world is bound to an objective truth, then art must be subjected to objected truth as well. And I think the way to distinguish that is to open ourselves up to the truth--and I do mean the one truth--and decide whether a particular song is good or bad; strong, or weak. Does it influence the listener to improve their behavior? Or does it keep them bound to the same place? It's not really about comparing our standards to others. It's about RAISING our standards. And after having improved ourselves enough, WE can act, and help others to through our learned experiences. I agree that music is a tool to help us communicate. But even music has its limits compared to what we can do as individuals.
@@braydenweese1407 playing with others is one of the most fun you can have. But at the same time, it can be frustrating when you don’t meet eye to eye. I know the feeling. I heard about how Neil walked out on many projects. He’d say that he wasn’t stopping the music, he was following it elsewhere. I admire that. Why stick around if the music is not there anymore? You can’t force it. The Beatles have so many classics but they also have so many amazing songs they created when they didn’t have to compromise with each other. Sometimes, endings aren’t a bad thing. Break up songs as a disservice? Idk, I think that as human beings we all react differently to the same thing. One break up song can make someone feel like they’re living in the past, but the same song can make someone feel closure which in turn helps them move on. We’re just different. And yes, if we talk about morality in music, there is bad and good but that’s a whole different subject. I don’t think you can ALWAYS blame music for our behavior. There is more to life than music. When troubles come, music can help. But when you got it figure out and you’re firm in the truth, music shouldn’t influence your behavior. If it does, then I think there might be a bigger problem. But the best part is, we can all make our own selections. No one can force us to listen to music we don’t want to. I’m curious, what songs do you enjoy playing?
@@Rando-ur8lr I personally haven’t played very much since last August of 2022. Just really haven’t had time, so I mostly just listen now. I think I’ll get back to playing again, but probably not on stage. I’m focusing my time on listening and reading to broaden my palate for writing music. Bluegrass, jazz, and gospel music have all been catching my interest lately. I love a lot of genres. I personally find myself going back listening to a lot of country music, 90s and early 2000s-only because I’m trying to assemble a cover group from a distance. But there are elements I love about those first three, just the power, the depth, and the technique each one has, one more so than the other, and how they’re all so great at capturing the soul. Not that other genres don’t do that, but there are just some songs whether in those categories or not, that just COMMAND the attention of the audience. Writing has been a growing interest, though I haven’t put pen to paper yet, I’ve had some ideas and I think I know how to start allowing the words to pour out. And because of that, I want to be able to command an audience and change their hearts and their minds. There have been other things that have caught my attention. Songwriter Clive Romney from Utah writes songs based on ancestors, and that’s something I want to do to strengthen my relationship with past relatives, as a way of preserving their memories and their lives. I just love good content and good songs. Some execute the same message better than others. I like what Adam Neely does to respond to Contemporary Christian Music. I think everything he says in that video is spot on.
